Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We still have time to mess this up!

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

This really is a full service blog.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

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

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Football Saturday Became Football Sunday and extended on to today. I am attending to some personal matters and will be back later.

Consider this an open thread to fill me in on things I may have missed.

    If football saturday became football sunday you probably didn’t miss the fact that the steelers are the best team in the nfl

    (Even if that fat bastard Peter King somehow has the Pats ranked ahead of the steelers)

    nothing else of signifigance happened

    I don’t disagree with that, but I have to say that, granted they played two atrocious offensive teams, but it looks like Indy is finally getting a defense, which would make them pretty dangerous.

    I have no loyalty to Indy whatsoever (I’m an Eagles fan), but it looks like signing Corey Simon (and watching the Colts/Ravens game last Sunday, I never thought Corey Simon’s ass could get any bigger than it was last season but it has) to take up room in the middle is really helping Freeney in particular and the defense in general.

    Here’s one you should like:

    Cindy Sheehan (remember her?) is railing against Hilary Clinton for supporting the war. Cindy’s demanding, and I mean DEMANDING, that Hilary change her tune, pronto.

    Is it too early for me to mention that West Virginia, even at home, will be lucky to play Louisville within three touchdowns?

    If you think the cards are a bunch of hype, good. That will make it all the sweeter on October 15.

    The mountaineers really need to keep winning though. Unfortunately, the Louisville schedule is weak, especially after Syracuse and Pitt have proven to be mediocre. So here is hoping (that’s what atheists do) the Mountaineers can go 10-1, and give the Cards that one quality win.

    Believe the Hype

    I will even be a homer two-fer.

    I am looking forward to the Bungals (wait, I mean the Bengals) and the Steelers. Don’t get me wrong, the Steelers are the better team, but Cinci will be competitive, and I am predicting a split.

    I am trying to think of a way to open myself up to more ridicule than this, but I am confident that a loyal cubs fan that is believing in a Bengals football team should capture the George Costanza ‘I am the world’s biggest idiot’ award.

    Clinton (Bill) launches withering attack on Bush. There’s some blogging grist for ya.

    Also, Roethlisberger + Hines = delicious football.
