Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

Republicans in disarray!

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

This blog will pay for itself.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Forgive and Forget- The Democrat Foreign Policy

The DailyKos quotes Hesiod-iot’s comments on North Korea:

1) Why did this news “stun” the administration? Massive intelligence failure there.

Indeed, and as the DailyKos points out, he is willing to overlook it. Of course he is, because the intelligence failure belongs to the PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION, run by Clinton/Gore. The NY Times even points out that it is the current administration that DISCOVERED that Clinton, Albright, and Annan were duped, and that it is the BUSH administration who discovered the plot:

Confronted by new American intelligence, North Korea has admitted that it has been conducting a major clandestine nuclear-weapons development program for the past several years, the Bush administration said tonight. Officials added that North Korea had also informed them that it has now “nullified” its 1994 agreement with the United States to freeze all nuclear weapons development activity.

DailyKos apparently is willing to forgive and forget this, as he then states:

However, if the US resorts to intense diplomacy to resolve the situation (as it should), it would beg the question why Iraq is facing a loaded gun instead.

Except he frames the debate BACKWARDS. This is precisely why Saddam is under the gun, rather than appeasing him like Clinton et al. did with North Korea.

But then again, the left has never met a dictator they don’t like, and the headline “Saddam Successfully Develops Nuclear Arsenal” would probably be met with much hand-wringing and similar apologetics for intelligence failures (provided they occur during a Democrat administration).
