Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

How stupid are these people?

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Come on, man.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

    It’s my birthday today, and it wasn’t as bad a day as I expected. My new dear little dog jumped up off her four feet and I could see her head bobbing up and down in the window in the door when I got home from lunch with one of my dearest friends. I’ve never had a dog who could do that and it’s one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen.  Then she did a 10 minute happy dance to greet me.  My other new dog, who must have had a horrible life before I got her, chased her tail a few times today, and rolled around in the yard and seemed like like a happy girl. She’s starting to come out of whatever hell she’s been through, and that warmed my heart. I got some really nice cookies and brooches, and gummy lobsters, the only kind of lobsters I can eat, from a dear niece. Brothers and sister called. So a nice day, all things considered. Then I got mail from AARP, a bit of a bummer, but I’ll live.

    @Juju: Happy birthday, Juju!!!

    Two new dogs and the happiest of puppy greetings, sounds like a great birthday.

    I was trying to figure out what gummy lobsters were and finally realized they are like gummy works and gummy bears.  Then they sounded a lot better!  :-)

    Thanks. Someone mentioned, when I was waiting for my dogs, that I should link to my photo site, but I don’t have one. But they are cute dogs. Ruby Jean is a terrier blend and Lulu is an unwanted former breeder golden retriever. They are both beautiful and worth the year plus it took to get them.

    @Juju: :-)  An excellent day!

    Don’t worry about the AARP thing.  A colleague in grad school got on their mailing list when he was about 25.  ;-)

    Thanks. And Happy Birthday!!

    Cheers,
    Scott.
