Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Trump should be leading, not lying.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

An almost top 10,000 blog!

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

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

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

You cannot shame the shameless.

I just spent thirty minutes sitting in my recliner trying to set up a new work laptop with one hand because Maxwell Edison was draped over my right arm with the meaty fleshy part of my palm right underneath the thumb in his mouth like a roast pig with an apple in its mouth. He was waiting for me to flinch or move or looking for any excuse to bite down and show me who was boss and I just sat there and waited him out.

It’s these little victories that keep me going.

I really love this cat, too. The weirder and wilder the better.

    The weirder and wilder the better.

    I’ve found that applies to women as well.  Oh come on, It’s BJ after dark.

    If Maxwell is still jealous of Joelle, let him know that you’re married. He won’t be able to do anything about it any more than Bette Davis’ character could in Jezebel.

    Does Maxwell Edison offer to bite your thenar eminence on a regular basis?

    weird and wild sounds like it has great potential, but a power play with your cat, to see who is boss, sounds mighty tricky.

    Maxwell is likely plotting to make Joelle his own and leave JC with nothing more than litterbox duty

    Early on in dating my girlfriend (now wife of 37 years)  I woke up next to her in bed and her cat Matthew was on my chest staring balefully at me furiously peeing on the covers.

    His anger was short lived – he was a special cat and enjoyed hanging out draped over my shoulders.

    I have come to point if have another person in my life they will have to be approved by my dog; I am no longer owned by a cat.

    Pets do so much better at judging humans than we do.

    I am packing for a trip and one of my cats just keeps inserting himself in the process in a very unhelpful way.  Still trying to figure out what to put in the carry-on and if I can gate-check my other bag and Caesar decides he wants to cuddle.
