Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Let there be snark.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

So many bastards, so little time.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

This blog will pay for itself.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

    The look on the pups face always pleases me.  It’s somewhere between confusion and bewilderment.

    @kindness: it’s the expression plus the ears: “What have you done to me, and why have you done it??

    ETA: Traditions are important.  Seeing this is like coming home for the holidays.

    I think it would be good to start the tradition of celebrating the day by playing Mussorgsky’s “Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks in Their Shells.”  It’s eggcentric, eggxact, and altogether eggcelent.

    Like everybody else, I was waiting for the butter lamb reveal.  It never disappoints.  In fact, I’d say this year’s was even better than all the others.  I just hope Betty told it it was better, because if she didn’t it might get bitter.  And if it got sufficiently bitter, it might run away.  And then the next day there might be a headline:  “BETTY’S BETTER BITTER BUTTER LAMB ON THE LAM!”

    @PaulB: My J got roped into playing Rainbow Brite once and had to dress up in the costume for some appearance. She said the little girls were so excited to see her!!

    The GQPers would probably have her sent to Gitmo these days. :-/

    Cheers,

    We celebrated Easter yesterday with some good friends. I made rabbit cacciatore. It was delicious.

    It seemed like the right thing to do.

    As a Public Service Announcement,  Dachshund’s should never be around rabbits.  Not ever.   There will likely be a tragedy.

    A contrary view from the Home of the Orange Apron…

    So earlier this week I got a notification of a schedule change.  I had worked 15 minutes into my day off to finish up an order, no problem I get OT on that when I hit 40 hours for the week.  The schedule change changed my hours today from 8 hours to 6 hours, I was confused.  The Service Desk Lead, reminded me that today is Easter and the store closes 2 hours early.  So in observance of the “holiday” I’m taking a 2 hour pay cut and that 15 minutes of OT is now straight time.

    Fuck Easter.

    @Albatrossity: Exceptionally well played.

    And reminds me of the time when I was an asshole in my 20s having dinner w. my mom and some others at a restaurant in Berkeley.  I chose a rabbit appetizer and a venison main (it was that kind of place) and said, in a loud voice, “the perfect meal: Thumper followed by Bambi!”

    And then heard this little kid at the table immediately behind me wail “Mom!!!!…..”

    I felt like such a jerk.

    @Tom Levenson: Great story!

    We had rabbit at a restaurant in San Francisco (Perbacco) once, and it was so good we went back the next evening and had it again. It didn’t hurt that the place had a great wine list as well, so we could at least pair it with a different wine each evening!

    @Baud:

    I’m surprised Easter isn’t automatic overtime pay rate. That’s what they do at Trader Joe’s and some other places.

    I’m just having a usual Sunday hanging out at home. Well, not totally usual, since I have to give my dog her pills and her powder. She has a hot spot and is wearing a balloon collar, which is at least a step up from the cone. She’s gotten pretty good about taking her pills, but my current concern is that she’s drinking a lot of water and needs to go outside to pee frequently. Hoping it’s a medicine side effect and not a new medical issue.

    @JoyceH: Our Lil Bit had an autoimmune condition and they normally give prednisone for it but our vet recommended  Atopica even though it is for skin conditions and she lived 10 years on it.

    I can see the beginnings of PTSD in that dog’s eyes.  Amazing timing.
