Just reading through the comments like I've got nothing better to do...
That #233 (Jay quotes back the blog) is still there over an hour later certainly indicates that No One is in charge tonight.
This would never have happened if Maetenloch were still alive.
Not that he worked Fridays anyway...
I thought maybe the poison garden was for homeopathy remedies. (I've used several of those deadly plants, in homeopathic form.)
Guess it was just Morticia Addams's garden. (Actual Charles Addams cartoon.)
Used for the usual royal purposes - of eliminating enemies.
Had hot dogs chopped up in a salad tonight. Pretty good.
Oh, national DOG day. Did not have dog on a salad tonight.
But Who's a Good Boy? is resting peacefully nearby.
Pete: "I haven’t the foggiest what you’re referring to."
I figured that would be the case. Some minds are just too powerful to be able to deal with such trivial web technicalities. That's why I thought someone else on staff could explain it.
But at least Bluebird nixxed the ghastly Hillary pic. It's a start. :D
Well, you've outdone yourself. Crossing your memes of pareidolia and cute critters. #7 had me scratching my head, then suddenly it jumped out at me. (Linked at the blog-heap, of course.)
Okay, just hurt my arm fighting the wild wind to close the front door. Think I'll head for bed and assess the wind damage in the daylight.
Dang! This is one of the most dramatic AND LOUD thunderstorms we've had in a long while.
Let the tablet at the office uploading a video, so, I'm on the cell first time in ages. Reminded how obnoxious this is. So, keep your comments short, for me tonight, right? 
BOOM! There goes another Jovian blast.
Pistol Pete, Aug 24: "Tomorrow is my baby girl’s 36th birthday."
What a coinkydink. Aug 25 is also my baby girl's birthday. One year off from yours, though. Ain't it great!
Want to see her and me doing "When I'm Sixty-Four" on my 64th birthday? No, you don't. So, you've been warned. Don't click here.
---Oh by the way---
Pete, you know I love to make more technical work for you, so...
I just looked at the PoliNation front page. Usually I get the news feeds (RSS) and just go directly to the post, skipping the front page. What I noticed today is that ALL of Pete's post show up on the front page. I'm sure there's some way to but a BREAK in the post, where above the break shows on the front page and below the break only shows up in the post. Don't ask me how. I'm not a Wordpresser. But I'm sure it can be done.
Point is, it makes the front page less huge, and you also don't get things like the nude Hillary showing up on the main page. Very important, that.
I'm sure Pete can master this, if two or three of you fellow Wordpressers give him a step-by-step instruction in how to do it.
I was gonna read the content first, but, wow, so much content I'll be here all night just reading the post.
Okay, I'm leaving. You can all come back out from under the couch and inside the broom closet.

OH no! Thread! Thread?!?!
Give me the paddles...
CLEAR!
ZZZZZZZZZT!!!
Still no pulse. Give me the adrenaline syringe!
AoSHQ Commentiquette
As I plowed through the comments tonight, breezing past extensive discussions of the Alt-Right and table saws, among others, it occurred to me, not for the first time, that if folks put a "subject" line at the top of each comment, we could know which sub-thread you're replying to. As I did here.
Of course, this is an outrageous amount of hassle and would be ignored by newbies and oldtimers alike, quite rightly, but I'm throwing it out there, because, mostly, I don't have anything worthwhile to say.
Well, its late and Im tired, and the comments have devolved into bovine territory and I'm too much of a cow-ard to enter that pasture, so Ill bid yall adoo before Zombies imaginative dissertation on why the first person pronoun is capitalized.
Gud nyght, Greasies.
Zombie: ..."his" probably started life as "him's" way back when, and evolved to be a "new" word once it got slur-shortened. "Hers" and "theirs" are slightly different terms of speech, and are not parallel to "its"...
Now you're just making stuff up to sound smart.
Like those guys on the classical music radio shows. "That was Symphony #27 by VVlazimix Wvvfrrstlo, performed by the Smelixan National Orchestra, conducted by Otto Xpltghzwhnr with soloist Lyssangia Frlemitia." Yeah, sure it was.
I see Buzzion and Guy beat me to that point, and much more concisely and humorously. (Immortal inner 5th Grade English schoolmarm returns to crypt in the catacombs.)
GRAMMAR WARS! YAAAY! (Immmortal inner 5th Grade Schoolmarm dons armor and broadsword.)
Zombie: In English, the possessive is indicated by having an apostrophe-s after the noun
I don't think "its"-possessive is counted in that noun-possessive apostrophe rule (if exceptionally) because "its" is a pronoun like its cousins "his" and "hers" and "ours" and "theirs" - which, obviously, do not take apostrophes. Still doesn't necessarily make sense, but has some consistency.

A late-night howdy, boys and girls. Are we having a civil war tonight? Who's side is Capt America on?
Mama always said, nothing good happens after Midnight.
So, I'd better call it a night so I can go see her tomorrow.

Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
Good night, Gracies. Vic returns tomorrow, theoretically.
Then there's the classic man-card.

I'm only punched about 25% on that one. And I'm not sure if my huge face scar was all that earned.
There should be an Ace of Spades / Moron Horde card. Points for, what, like, watched Animal House... ?
