Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

The piglets are doing fine, but here is a pic to prove it (although it is from the other night, so I guess I am not proving anything):

But this is basically what they are doing right now, just being bitchier and less photogenic. In an odd note, Steve is the first cat I have ever known who likes steak. I really think this kid is part bobcat.

And you all keep calling him fat like I am over feeding him, but I swear to you, yes, he has the little paunch that all toms get when they get snipped later in life, but he just really is a big damned cat. His frame is massive and he is bigger than both dogs, even if he was skinny. He’s just a big man.

    So it’s a picture of a guy who has a cat on his lap who isn’t visibly wearing pants. #WestVirginiaIsForLovers

    Then there is the conflict, which may quickly escalate if Israel decides

    The reluctance to spend time in public places is shared now in Israel, too, as the rockets rain down. But Israel is a larger, much more modern polity, which has equipped itself with shelters, air-raid sirens and a missile-defense system.

    Like most Gazans, Dr. Sahbani would not fault Hamas but rather “the siege and the occupation.” As a Palestinian Authority employee, he lost his salary when he continued to work in Al-Shifa under the Hamas government, which did pay him, though less.

    Both Sides Do It!

    It is a plaint heard regularly here, with particular pathos during hostilities. Gazans see themselves as living in a poor territory that nobody cares about, a kind of “prison,” as they like to say, trapped between Israel, an ambivalent or unfriendly Egypt and the closely patrolled sea. Not even fellow Palestinians in the West Bank really care for them, they say.

    it’s not the racist triumphalism that is most annoying, it’s the “Of course, they are also prisoners of their situation,” Both Siderism of Haaretz on the Hudson that really grates

    You know if you go to aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/ you can actually interact with a few ISIS/ISIL members. Granted the NSA will be on your ass but Lambert assured me that “The NSA doesn’t spy on it’s people.”

    Plus there’s an insane asian guy posing as a Russian posing as a Brit!. It is literal madness and an NSA cornucopia.

    11:27 P.M. The armed wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement has warned international airlines that it intends to target Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport with its rockets from Gaza and has told them not to fly there, a statement by the group said on Friday.

    Dimona (Hebrew: דִּימוֹנָה) is an Israeli city in the Negev desert, 36 kilometres (22 mi) to the south of Beersheba and 35 kilometres (22 mi) west of the Dead Sea above the Arava valley in the Southern District of Israel. Its population at the end of 2007 was 33,600.[1]

    @Liquid:

    real live nude ISIS members? was John Bolton and Pam Geller informed that Jen Rubin’s BFFs were in town?

    @some guy: Well if Ol’ Bolton wanted to give Pam Grier a moostache ride I might just get jealous.

    ETA: Wow, Rationalwiki has quite the article on your Gellar. That doesn’t mean she wouldn’t get a moosetache ride though.

    I feel pretty confident the hasbara is talking about you, Omnes Omnes Hotels Inc. are you on the side of Lincoln or on the side of Calhoun?

    @some guy: OK, I do not know who you are but I do believe that Omnes would be insulted by your flagrant assertion.

    Only an ignorant swine such as myself might hope to like, you know, say something to, like, make you stop saying things, or something.

    @some guy: Of course the fact that Omnes is several hundred years old might temper your enthusiasm and stay your poisonous keyboard whilst we await the foul breath of his response.

    I always pictured him as the Great owl from Secret of NIMH.

    Your cat is fat. He didn’t used to be fat. He is now fat. This is not an optical illusion. This is a reality.

    Seriously, it is ~92 degrees at two minutes to midnite Best Coast Time and I have to weigh defending women’s rights or murdering some South-American broad because she betrayed me in a game that came out three years ago.

    I really think this kid is part bobcat.

    Legend has it that ship’s cats from the first colonization mated with native bobcats to create the Maine Coon Cat.

    Can there be anything better than a really big affectionate cat on your lap when it’s 92 out and the humidity is pushing 100%?

    Seriously, I really like a cat purring on my chest as I go to bed, it puts me out quickly.

    My husband sent me your pic, he’s your most avid reader fan! — He sent this to me, because of the cat! — I would judge by those beautiful paws and those lovely tufts between the paws and the handsome tiger markings that your cat is going to get pretty damn big! — Mostly likely a Maine Coon Cat! :) — Good Luck with him, he’s awesome! :)
