Commentor Linnaeus linked this clip on Adam’s late-night bearcam post last night. Since I live in scenic New England, I could almost see a thought balloon over that bear’s head: “Dammit, there’s always a line during tourist season… “
And then I had to go look for this:
Mike J
Happy bday, Julianna Hatfield!

So Trump hired somebody and released it at 1AM CDT?
Villago Delenda Est
@Mike J: Perhaps the new hire hopes no one in the GOP notices he’s working for Drumpf now?
OzarkHillbilly
@Mike J: That’s what happens when you hire Russian sleeper agents.

Ummm, here’s an idea: Get off your lazy entitled pasty white ass and LEARN SOME FVCKIN SPANISH. Can I please join another race? I’m tired of being embarrassed by this one.

“Slaves that worked [at the White House] were well-fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government,” O’Reilly said in a fact-checking segment of “The O’Reilly Factor” Tuesday.

@OzarkHillbilly: Wait, I can sue a perspective employer if they don’t hire me due to not meeting some of the job requirements*?
Cool.
*Seems to only apply if you’re an entitled white asswipe.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: Abigail Adams, after all….

I watched my local news and I leaned that (1)there was a mass exodus of Bernie delegates that left the convention, (2)NOBODY likes or trusts the Hillbeast, and (3)there were mass protests in the streets of Philly. I saw none of this on this here blog, we must not being told the truff. Wake up Sheeple!

@raven: In fact, slaves were so well-treated that when they wore out, their ownere could sometimes trade them in and get a pretty good allowance in their purchase of a new one.

Actually, I think the thought ballon would be, “Why do they call it tourist season if I’m not allowed to kill and eat them?”

“Hey dude, nice view you got up here. The other bears sent me up here to what you were doing. You seem chill, you chill? Good, okay, see you later.”

Well, bears are canids. It shouldn’t be unexpected that they occasionally act like really big dogs.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: Maybe now you’ll believe us bern-outs that the mainstream media is a corporate shitshow with very much its own agenda. Cos’ it is.
Look on the bright side of a very ugly scenario; nobody believes them, that’s half the problem.
When all these institutions fail so hardcore that nothing can be believed in, people get jumpy and do crazy things. It’s Hillary’s job to demonstrate that government can be believed in again. Might have to be a bit of a pretense that there’s ‘new blood’ coming in and catalyzing everything (there’s a grain of truth to that but mostly it’s a useful meme) but it seems do-able.

@Applejinx: Tried to catch you downstairs to apologize for crossing a line earlier last night. Not my best moment.
FlipYrWhig
@Applejinx: But, uh, Hillary Clinton fans don’t need reminding that the media sucks.
Applejinx
@FlipYrWhig: Eh, don’t fret. I understand this is a blog and I’ll give as good as I get. We’re on the same side.
It’s Democrats. So we’re allowed to go all UFC on each other, that’s tradition :D we WILL come together and elect the first woman President, and what’s more we’ll manage to uncomfortably contain both our strident extremist wings and vigorously fly all over the place with ’em.
I’ll remember that sometimes you get too into the blog-sparring. I do too, and I won’t hold that against you :)
Burns, Whig and Sundry IS still my least favorite law firm, though! ;)
Hunter
Calls to mind an experience I had as a teenager on a family trip out west. We were driving through Olympic National Park and stopped to stretch. I walked a bit into the forest (which has got to be the quietest place on earth) and suddenly was face to face with a deer. We looked at each other for a minute, and then the deer just wandered off.
I treasure the memory.
Well, that and the moss dripping off the huge fir trees.
Linnaeus
Thank you for the shout-out, Anne.
CONGRATULATIONS!
@OzarkHillbilly: Christ, Spanish is just about the easiest language to learn. How easy? I LEARNED IT. FOR PURPOSES OF BEING A CLASSROOM TEACHER. And I’m not some wonder whiz here. This woman’s just another useful idiot who found a wingnut law firm to gin up some publicity and few thousand dollars so she won’t have to go back on the pole for a few months.
Damn some people piss me off.

@Hunter: We were at the head of a hiking trail just off the Blue Ridge Parkway with our bag lunches when we saw a deer on the path. Everyone stood still for about five minutes and then we decided the moment was over and turned away.
The deer followed us.
That animal knew it was in a safe place.
