William said...: I just finished Trollope's novel, The Way We Live Now. Eight hundred pages of small print. It was never quite dull enough to give up and never quite interesting enough to read more than a chapter or two a night. I can see his appeal. Trollope presents a well modulated society. Not everyone is accepting of their place at the table, but everyone is agreed that there should be place settings at the table. If any of the characters have a sex drive, the author is sufficiently tactful not to mention it. The prose is the equivalent of warm milk. It has a pleasant soporific effect if you read a chapter before bedtime.; 7/22/15, 8:42 PM

Bay Area Guy said...: House of Cards is a great tv show. I'm rewatching the first season. Good Wash D.C. political drama for you junkies.

In Berkeley, as we speak, there are naked political protestors hugging trees; 7/22/15, 9:26 PM

Louis said...: House of Cards is good. The wife steals the show but not in a good way. She outclasses the Congressman's performance.; 7/22/15, 9:51 PM
Carnifex said...: If you're not watching Sharknado III you are insane. Absolute great stupid movie. Best Sharknado in the franchise.

Black coffee?? You're white privilege is showing.

Ps. Really looking forward to Lavalantula!!; 7/22/15, 10:06 PM
Michael K said...: At least the guys in Chattanooga got a few rounds off at the shooter. I hope they got a couple of them into his miserable Muslim hide.; 7/22/15, 10:17 PM
Laslo Spatula said...: I am waiting for 'SharkQuake': an earthquake below San Francisco floods the ocean into the City with hungry sharks.

For context: this happens precisely during a gay marriage ceremony.

There is a team of experts that can defeat the sharks, but they are not able to be there due to the lack of High Speed Rail.

Also: all the computer-animated shark-faces resemble Nancy Pelosi.

Because they do.

I am Laslo.; 7/22/15, 10:19 PM
Smilin' Jack said...: Jamaica, the world’s 76th-ranked team, stunned the U.S. to advance to the Gold Cup final, keeping the U.S. men’s soccer team out of the final for the first time since 2003.

That the U.S. even has a men's soccer team assures the ultimate victory of ISIS.; 7/22/15, 11:06 PM
David said...: he [King George] has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it's most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemispere, or to incure miserable death in their transportation hither. this piratical warfare, the opprobium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the Christian king of Great Britain. [determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought and sold,] he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce [determining to keep open a market where MEN should be bought and sold]: and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he had deprived them, by murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.; 7/23/15, 12:11 AM
MayBee said...: Wow. The Sandra Bland hashtag has taken a bizarre turn. Everyone has convinced themselves the mugshot was taken when Sandra Bland was dead.

Quaestor said...: The Black Coffee Café

That's a bit redundant. That's like naming a restaurant with a ham specialty The Ham-Serving House of Ham Where You Can Eat Ham.; 7/23/15, 3:59 AM
Quaestor said...: Or the Department of Redundancy Department.; 7/23/15, 4:02 AM

Jaq said...: Stephanopoulis to Cosby lawyers, "All of these women are liars?"

Back in the day:

“She had a motive to lie,” Stephanopoulos decided of Gennifer Flowers. So Flowers was portrayed as a liar -- until Flowers produced tapes of her conversations with Clinton. Paula Jones joined the list of women “whose stories were so suspect that their accounts shouldn’t be dignified by the media.”; 7/23/15, 7:59 AM
Hagar said...: How is Planned Parenthood's "harvesting" of body parts from abortions for reseach into the War on ____ different from the Nazis "harvesting" of whatever recoverables they could from the people they gassed in the concentration camps for their war?; 7/23/15, 8:54 AM
