Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

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

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

    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.
