Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

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

Republicans in disarray!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

T R E 4 5 O N

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

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

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Friday night with the dog

This post is in: 

Max and his friend Axel (right) do their usual pre-play dance. I shit you not, this can take ten minutes. Max prefers to stalk so slowly that you have to look away and back again to see that he moved. Axel will stay perfectly still and then scoot forward on his belly one foot at a time whenever Max blinks.

In other news, Max turned one day year old yesterday! We gave him a frozen marrow bone and an extra-long run in the local off-leash park (not in that order). How was your day?

    The rain here has been unbelievable. Montpelier, VT got something like 5″ of rain yesterday, with sinkholes and washed out roads everywhere. I’ve never seen anything like this before.

    Did you hear that Al Gore is fat?

    Yeah, he looks a little fuzzy and unformed from his back end. Definitely a day old dog.

    (Happy birthday, Max!)

    Took the day off and the dogs and I went searching for anniversary gifts for the princess. A massage gift certificate and a William Bartram book will have to do!

    Had a rare Friday off, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Didn’t do a damn thing. Bit of a mini-weekend, as I have to work tomorrow and then get my usual Sunday-Monday weekend.

    In the early evening I bestirred myself and went to Guitar Center, where I fondled and lusted over a Cordoba Gipsy Kings guitar (someday, my precious) and bought some Sony MDR-7506 headphones.

    Watching the end of the Padres-Nats game now, and then I will deploy the new headphones with something worthy, probably either Kind of Blue or Ahmad Jamal’s The Awakening. Work at 8:30 tomorrow morning, so I have to curtail the usual night-owl routine.

    @Steeplejack: Hey, Steepman. Good to see ya in the early hours.

    @stuckinred: Very thoughtful gifts!

    Max and his buddy are both handsome boys, and I can see why this little pre-play dance takes time. Sounds like Max had a very good birthday, indeed!

    @General Stuck: Ha! I read the captions before the pictures came through. Snicker. Charlie is as adorable as ever.

    @JenJen: I haz a massie jelus of ur new puppeh. Just sharing. What a sweet face. I cooed for like half an hour this morning. Seriously.

    @asiangrrlMN: You don’t wanna know what I thought when you started talking about dropping the g’s. Let’s just say I reflexively reached for my wallet.

    Hi hon. After a really crappy Friday I’m seriously debating if I want to bother with driving to the ranch.

    Oh and obligatory PUPPEH!!
