Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

The lights are all blinking red.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Second rate reporter says what?

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

    Thank you, Adam! So kind of you considering all you must be dealing with right now.

    How are things going?

    Adam, I was seeing people mention that Adam is potentially in the path of the hurricanes. Is that you or some other Adam?

    edit: based on Kathleen’s comment at #1, I’m thinking this must be you. Stay safe.

    edit 2: We’re all counting on you. (n/t Airplane)

    I am 502 miles from the Wood Fired Grill.

    I will not be attending the meet-up. I just like playing with Google Maps.

    I’ve been lurking here in Dayton for almost 10 years……I’m going to *try* to make it but I cannot be certain. I have an 8 week-old child (first time being a dad!) and he appears to have more control over my social life than I thought he’d have…..

    @Steeplejack: I was considering it, because I don’t mind long drives; it’s just over 4 hours each way for me. But, it’s a market day for me and those end at 3. So I’m sending my regrets. Next time!

    @Kathleen: @WaterGirl: It is me. I am Florida’s last hope. The plan is to place me directly in the path of the storm smack dab in the center of the Florida straits and have me push the storm back into the Atlantic. I’ve been doing monster squats and core exercises to get ready. Also remembering to hydrate!

    More seriously, I’m on the west coast. While the major European model has the storm going just to the east of center of the state, the major US model has it about 30 miles or so farther east and going right up the east coast. The combined track (forecast of forecasts) by the National Hurricane Center has the storm forecast much closer to the US model than the European. That said it won’t be until the 1100 update tomorrow that we’ll have the first 3 day forecast for Florida. This will significantly reduce the uncertainty. We are just about ready here at the house to either ride things out if it goes up the east coast or to get out ahead of the storm if it jumps the forecasts and goes up the west coast. We are coordinating with my brother who is actually a specialist on hurricanes effects on wetlands. So he knows what he’s looking at. We’ll make the appropriate call at the appropriate time. Until then there’s nothing else we can do and no reason to succumb to anxiety. We know what to do depending on what the storm does and we’ll do it.

    Thanks for asking.

    @satby:

    I love road trips! Big tragedy a couple of years ago was when I was in the running to drive a friend’s car from D.C. to Portland, OR, after he took a new job and had to start right away. The car transfer service was flaking out, and I was hyping myself up with logistics and route planning, but then they unflaked at the last minute. I was bummed. Portland is one of my favorite cities, and I haven’t been there since probably 1990.

    No matter what, personal safety is your/your family’s first, top priority, right?

    @efgoldman: Yep. If we need to go, if it is even in question, we’ll go. If the storm follows the US forecast and goes up the east coast/just off the east coast we’ll be fine where we’re at. If it goes up the center of the state or up the west coast we’ll go north out of the state.

    @debbie: it’s late so you see the answer . She was refusing to pay me the final reimbursement of 124.00, saying she didn’t owe it to me . It was for reimbursement for payroll for 174 people that final month so I called the payroll company to request documentation that would show me the 174 people were so I could prove that it was for her people. Soon as I explain the situation they said they would just refund me the 124.00 so I wouldn’t have to deal with it . So I guess I got my money but now I did not get it from Sally . Thanks for asking.

    If you get a chance you should try The Phoenician, a wonderful Lebanese mid-eastern restaurant in Mason.

    I may be in that area Saturday … if I’m not called in to work, I may try to get there. What is the address of Wood Fire Grill?

    Long-time lurker here. I stumbled upon BJ just about the time John Cole saw the light re: republicanism, and have been reading it ever since.
    BJ’s been keeping me sane, especially in recent times. Although I’ve been here in the US since 1999, I only became a US citizen in April: the election saw to that. The various rants, most prominently those by Betty Cracker, on the state of the country and the idiocy of the Nazi-in-chief, warm one’s cockles.

    In short, I’m looking forward to being there at ~ 4pm tomorrow. I live in Loveland, and it’s but a short drive.
