Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

Steelers Sunday

The Steelers take on the Vikings in another must win, and the Steelers have received some help getting a Wild card berth with the Chiefs losing yesterday to the Tiki Barber and ten other people.

For the record, I hate watching football in domes. Go Steelers!

    Let’s hope the Steelers’ defense is better than Al Maviva’s lying defense of Bush’s illegal spying.

    Why do you people always assume people you disagree with are lying rather than just wrong?

    Really.

    It will be easier to defend against the Vikings than it will be to defend the President spying on US Citizens and crapping on the constitution.

    Go Steelers!

    Even though I am a huge fan of Big Ben (I went to MU). With that broken thumb, it’s time to jump on the Sidney Crosby band wagon. The kid is incredible. Plus hockey is just more fun to watch.

    Go Vikes!

    Actualy, don’t both teams have a winning streak on the line? The Vikings actually have a chance (small) of taking the division. Given the Steelers are already in the playoff, I like the chances of a win this week. It is kind of sad though that this is the only way they can get in. They haven’t played great in this streak, only well enough to win.

    I agree about watching football in domes; we need Met Stadium again, so the visiting teams really feel what December in Minnesota is like.

    Go Vikings!

    There’s a really good chance the Steelers can make the playoffs. Their last three are easy: Minnesota, Cleveland and Detroit. The other two wild card contenders are in worse trouble, with San Diego playing Indy and Denver. Kansas City lost to NY and finishes with Cincinnati. In between, they play each other.

    So far the game can go either way. Both sides are making stupid mistakes, but so far they seem to be more advantageous for the vikes. Skol Vikings, Skol!
