Democrats were blindsided by the Regan Revolution, they then let Gingrich and Delay convince the country that we're broke and they've never recovered. Republicans are constrained by Norquest and the Kochs, they know that even voting to consider funding for some projects will get them a primary challenge and a million…

It drives me out of my mind. They tell you you can have everything for free, then whoops it turns out that even basic services are more expensive than their pie-in-the-sky numbers. Then, not only do you have debt, but you have nothing to show for it except crumbling highways, broken transit, falling bridges, and…

Fair. Although, I don't know about you guys but for us it's the sate that's been fucking the system for years. The blame for that falls squarely on the shoulders of politicians (and to an extent the voters). A spate of Republican governors (Romney gets a special mention here) got the ball rolling and subsequent…

Americans excuse so much bad management in transit, and it's no wonder so many of us have such a bad image of transit's ability to get us there. Because in America most transit is awful!

Starring for Dick Scott, because fuck that guy.

Yeah, I mean at that point you're basically devoting yourself to a very particular lifestyle or a lifetime of wearing pants. Still, it's a better life choice than becoming Lindsey Graham.

It's okay, it's just that it was one of the first comments and I was like, oh shit, are people going to be pissed that it's so graphic? Then when a couple of people responded, I was like, okay, it is as funny as I thought it was.

But there are great gems out there like this

A Google image search for bag of dick yields some very interesting results.

Changed it back.

I wussed out, then changed it back.

Sorry! I had second thoughts about how graphic the other one was.

Look, I found an unretouched picture of Lindsey Graham

My favorite ones are the people who try to argue with their friends who are trying to explain the that Onion is a satire site.

We are. It. never. Stops. It's snowing right now. We might get three-five inches tonight, but if you can clear your car with a brush and you can get it out without a shovel, it doesn't count. There is nowhere left for the snow to go and we are all losing our mind, Ubs.

That is the greatest site ever. Hours of fun.

Exactly. It's a very fine line between talking politely to someone about your purchases and feeling like you're being asked to justify your purchases to a stranger. Maybe it's not a big deal in a smaller homogenous kind of place where people have similar values but in a bigger city everyone has their own idea of…

On the bridge accident article yesterday, people were going on and on about how awful and rude Boston is as a city but I have not found that to be the case (unless you're on the T after a Bruins game...). Maybe it depends on your definition of rude? I've found people here to be distant and polite but generally…

It's the Bush family. The well is deep.

You know, when 9/11 happened, I turned to my brother and said "this will either be a great moment for our country when we put aside our differences and move forward or it'll be an excuse for the police to get everything they've ever wanted but couldn't because of civil liberties concerns." 14 years and terrifying…
