Some great football on tap today: Ohio State vs. Michigan. Duke vs. North Carolina. Georgia vs. Georgia Tech. Notre Dame vs. Stanford. Clemson vs. South Carolina. Texas A&M vs. Missouri. And of course, Alabama vs. Auburn. Then there are my truly awful 4-7 Florida Gators — the first UF team to fail to make it …

Okay, you’re driving down the highway and see a car that has crashed into someone’s house. What do you do? Stop and help? Make sure everyone’s okay? Then go on your merry way? If you’re one of the privileged princelings pooped out by Mrs. Mitt, you apparently also ask someone at the scene to take …

… for the children, or at least the child. Younger daughter will be a high school sophomore, and the defense is that she may not want to give up her friends, again. Also both parents rule out running for elective office, which of course doesn’t eliminate the Supreme Court, now does it? (Via Washington Monthly‘s …

Absolutely completely 100% awake and can not sleep, so I was going through my music archives, and I found… NICKELBACK. How the hell did that get in there? I feel so dirty.

Movie night tonight. Avoiding turkey like the plague and eating chicago dogs, chips, and baked beans while tussling with Steve, who is needier than usual.

Cranky curmudgeon Mark ‘Copyranter‘ Duffy (nobody’s favorite coworker) tells Gawker the “TOP 10 BEST EVER WTF OMG REASONS BUZZFEED FIRED ME, LOL!”: I achieved the near-impossible Monday morning, October 7, at approximately 9:30 am. I got fired from BuzzFeed… BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith called me into his office via GChat and said something like, “This …

I’m looking at some online sales on laptops, and it’s interesting to see the different approaches. Dell just discounts a few specific models (most of them are last year’s). Apple will give you a $150 gift card (not bad, but there’s probably not $150 worth of swag that I want if I were to buy …

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

No one could have predicted…

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

“Look, it’s not against the rules anywhere, but a black woman with power was dating and there has to be something wrong with that.”

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Let’s finish the job.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.
