Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

The revolution will be supervised.

Infrastructure week. at last.

    It is a mere 82 F here in Eng-er-land and both the cats have melted. They sit everywhere now.​

    Rosie:  I am uncomfortable, but Master cleans up this creature’s poop, so it must be an even higher god than Master.

    We once had a pair of Maine Coons, Bill at 23 lbs., And Opus at 22. Neither was fat, just big.

    Even from the back, he has the look of an ancient philosopher, one of the more contemplative schools, such as the Epicureans.

    Hello Rosie honey.

    I see the lion cut is filling in nicely.

    Rosie doesn’t look especially pleased, but she’s not going anywhere. Obviously.

    Our BaBoo, a little 7 lb. grey rocket kat, was chased by a white Standard Poodle yesterday.  My partner screamed and through stuff at the poodle.  Then he closed the side gate, sigh.  I keep it closed because we had a Miniature Doberman in the hood who tried to bite me in my own yard – a midget Ve-dogu-raptor.

    BaBoo was anxious all afternoon at having seen the horrible beast of nightmares, and this morning still needed lots of petting.  It was sad to see his loss of security.

    @randy khan: The same is true of a 5 pound cat.

    Yep. Our 9-pounder routinely takes over a chair we just vacated, or the dog’s bed that he wants to sleep in, and none of us know what to do about it.

    Well, my wife does. She’s the cat person here and thinks nothing of grabbing the cat to reclaim her seat, and the cat will happily settle back down on top of her.

    But the dog and I are flummoxed and completely defeated.

    That cat is magnificent.

    I’m not really a cat person (I like other peoples’ cats) but Maine Coons could get me to consider ownership…

    That’s a lion.  Technically a type of cat, so the OP is not a typo, but he deserves the respect he has worked so hard to earn, and he will sit where he pleases.  Although, honestly, he could be the runt of the litter and still the size of a miniature chihuahua, if he were  a cat with a few years to him, he would also likely sit wherever he pleases.  Not sure focusing on size is really allowing for a full understanding of the situation.

    ETA: noticing now that most of the other comments agree with this … oh well, gave it a shot…

    That is a wonderful image. Sort of a 3-dimensional yin/yang. Brava, Rosie, Bravo, Steve.
