Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

No one could have predicted…

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

This really is a full service blog.

In my day, never was longer.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

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

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Peak wingnut was a lie.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Let me file that under fuck it.

TGIF

I am headed to dinner with a friend, so here are some pet pics and a clean thread for you. First, a snapshot of Tunch from about five minutes ago:

And now some of your kids:

Claim your kids.

Two quick things, though. I was watching the Dog Show again last night, and even though I love Jack Russell’s, I have decided I just like bigger dogs. I loved the standard and giant schnauzer in the show (was Spirit something, or what?), I always like Boxers (I just love how emotional they are), and having had a friend with a mastiff, I just adore them. Sadie the Mastiff was the sweetest dog ever, although a total pain in the rear end to sleep with.

Second, I gave Tunch wet food this morning (some high protein low carb stuff by Wellness), and he made a liar out of me. He inhaled it. I swear he has always turned up his nose at it before. I guess I might make the transition to wet food. We need shots, so maybe I will get him on that M/D stuff.

Random moment of internet scariness

I typed “Sulzberger” into google because I couldn’t remember how to spell it and look what came in at number three on the search, just after the two wiki entries.

It’s probably not my place to tell anti-Semites how to run their sites, but “Jew Watch”? Couldn’t they come up with a catchier name than that?

I wonder if J.D. Hayworth is involved with the site at all.

The Definition of Smug

If you really want to get the full flavor of what a jerk this interviewer comes across as, watch this video without any sound. It almost looks like an SNL skit- the guy did everything but stick his tongue out and put his thumb to his nose while waving his fingers.

*** Update ***

I am trying to find some video of the Bush/Gore 2000 debate to offer a comparison. Any help?

I can’t find any clips other than the time he walked over next to Bush while Bush was responding to a question, making that really awkward moment where Bush looked at him funny.

I suppose any clip of Chris Matthews interviewing anyone would be as good an example as any.

Kinda Burnt Out

In case you haven’t noticed, I am kind of burnt out and have been slacking. Too much going on and too much to do, plus kind of blogged out after the inaugural burst. At any rate, pets:

Remember that awesome video a while back of the dog on the water slide while the owner was away? I also really like cats that look like lions, for whatever reason. I also almost forgot, I am thinking about adopting a 3 year old cat who needs a home. He has been de-clawed (something I would never do), so I think I will wait awhile since I know those probably go pretty quick, and I will just pick up someone else if he is not around in a week.

PS- No, I don’t have an opinion about the stupid damned NY Post chimpanzee cartoon. I simply don’t care. Don’t buy the NY Post if it pisses you off.

Effective Ads

I was putzing around a moment ago with some new Adobe software, and in the background CNN was on, and this ad came on:

There is just something about that ad that seemed to me to be very effective. I’m not sure what it is, and need to think about it, but rarely does an ad stick out like that for me. It just grabbed me.
