Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

This blog will pay for itself.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

I really should read my own blog.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Sunday Night Open Thread: Happy Birthday, Melissa Ethridge

And she’s on tour, too.   Still too soon for me to be tempted by a very  indoor venue, assuming there were tickets to be had.   But these days, I’m just happy to see Happy Birthday! instead of R.I.P. on the Twitter timelines…

    Saw her when she opened for Hell Freezes Over tour. My friend tried to be late so he could just catch the Eagles; I told him for $75, I wanted both good acts.

    Glad to hear she’s still going strong. She was a wonderful role model when my daughter came out at age 15.

    I dragged my not-yet-Spousal Unit to our first Etheridge concert when we still lived in Michigan, and she was an ‘up & coming folk rocker’ doing relatively small venues. Then there the big outdoor-arena show in Foxborough (MA) when Our Little Secret was released… she wasn’t *quite* out of the closet at that point, but the audience was at least two-thirds women, and Spousal Unit got death stares from a few of them…

    Saw her again in Lowell, on her recovery tour (I Run for Life) , and most recently at Tanglewood, the summer before the pandemic, with the Boston Pops doing backup.

    (Pretty sure there were a couple other shows, but memory fails. And then there was the 2018 concert in NH where we had tickets, but Spousal Unit’s favorite brother decided to get married in Michigan that weekend, sigh… )
