Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Come on, man.

Everybody saw this coming.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

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

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

A consequence of cucumbers

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

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

    Maxwell is a fine-looking cat. Glad he’s made himself at home and Steve does not object.

    I don’t know what he weighs, but his twin Sully is up to 16 lbs of stomp-around-the-house muscle these days.

    Okay, going back to my sick bed now.

    @WaterGirl: “Tale” is correct, as you’d expect.  However I’m having flashbacks to a book I read more than 50 years ago…

    Ah, of course, thank you Google; “The Tattletale Cure”, in Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s Magic, caused a tattle-tale’s words to become a dark cloud with a long black tail, which hovered over their heads.

    @eclare: stupid flu. Though much better today, I’m now cranky because I feel well enough to wander around, but not enough energy to stay upright for very long.  Hoping tomorrow will be better, but it totally messed up my “get the garden done” this past weekend.

    grumble, grumble.

    Whatever happened with the fluffy black kittie with FIP?  Half of Seattle wanted to save him but … detail: Portland, not WA.

    Thurston asked me to tell you that he needs cheese too.

    He says it is in his contract.  Thank you.

    Please don’t take #35 the wrong way.

    It’s not meant to make light of the situation, rather to highlight the pathetic grasping at straws and patent absurdity of the proposal.

    Anyway

    @opiejeanne:

    Just the thought of a 3rd grader treating a sucking chest wound, wow.

    Texas schools will now have to teach kids basic anatomy and physiology — that’s a win there.

    Too soon?

    @Jay: Those legislators need to see some pictures. Or just listen to some first responders. As if the shooting were not not enough trauma. These people are sick.

    @TaMara: This makes me think of my days at the University before I got to work from home.

    There’s that day after you’ve been sick where you think I think I’m better today, and then you would get in the shower and it’s like, nope, not today, because it’s all you can do to stay upright, feeling crappy in the shower.

    Feel better soon!

    @JPL: Oh, no!  I had not heard the news.  I’m so sorry.

    Is this Oliver of BJ postcard fame, with the awesome hat?  If I am remembering that correctly, he had personality and attitude galore, in all the best ways.

    My heart breaks for you.   tears
