Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He really is that stupid.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Bark louder, little dog.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

White supremacy is terrorism.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Let’s finish the job.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Mary McGrory’s New Crisis:

And it is not her hair:

Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-Va.), the premier calamity collector of the House of Representatives, is just back from a country we’d rather not think about, and telling us things we’d rather not know. As usual, he is demanding that attention be paid.

This time it’s the famine in Ethiopia, one of those loser countries where Wolf feels most at home. He’s warning Congress and the White House of the urgency of the situation and the prospect that millions of Ethiopians will die if help is not on its way soon.

To Wolf, the Ethiopian famine is an “opportunity” for George W. Bush. “I think he really cares about these things and wants to do the right thing,” he says. He must use the bully pulpit to rally people and increase our aid to set an example to the world.

I am not sure if it is an opportunity- but it is the right thing to do. Great nations do the right thing, not for accolades and awards, but for it simply being the right thing to do.

    I was shocked when I read the article by Mary McGrory on the post.
    Did she realized that this article can be read by millions and millions around the globe.
    Ethiopia owe formal apologie from the writer.
