Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

“Let’s not pretend [Trump] wants to engage in high-minded discourse.”

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

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

“Look, it’s not against the rules anywhere, but a black woman with power was dating and there has to be something wrong with that.”

Accountability, motherfuckers.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

No one could have predicted…

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

T R E 4 5 O N

So many bastards, so little time.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Hans Blix Speaks

And he says Iraq has come up short again:

Blix said in Athens that Iraq had suggested new methods of investigation, including drilling into the ground, to better prove it does not have weapons of mass destruction.

“They themselves suggested new physical signs, new methods of investigating whether material they declared unilaterally destroyed, whether it was actually there. They will be drilling into the ground,” Blix told Reuters.

He rejected European suggestions that more inspectors would help him. “The principal problem is not the number of inspectors but rather the active cooperation of the Iraqi side,” he said.

A very interesting quote, indeed. “The principal problem is not the number of inspectors but rather the active cooperation of the Iraqi side.” Where have you heard that before?

Al Qaeda Donors

From UPI:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has discovered a list of the top financial backers of al Qaida during a raid of a Muslim charity in Sarajevo, according to court documents obtained by United Press International.

The reference to the list is the first public indication that U.S. authorities have specific information as to the identities of the financiers of Osama bin Laden’s terror network, but it is unclear what, if any, action has been taken against the persons named in the document.

The handwritten list — referred to within al Qaida as “The Golden Chain” — details 20 wealthy donors to al Qaida followed by the specific recipient of the funding. Osama bin Laden’s name appears next to seven of the entries, including at least one donation made by the “bin Laden brothers,” according to the court document.

Hunt them down and charge them with 3,000 counts of accessory to murder.

Khidhir Hamza says if you want to know why the French and the Germans are delaying and obstructing for Saddam, you simply have to follow the money:

What has become obvious is that the U.N. inspection process was designed to delay any possible U.S. military action to disarm Iraq. Germany, France, and Russia, states we called “friendly” when I was in Baghdad, are also engaged in a strategy of delay and obstruction.
In the two decades before the Gulf War, I played a role in Iraq’s efforts to acquire major technologies from friendly states. In 1974, I headed an Iraqi delegation to France to purchase a nuclear reactor. It was a 40-megawatt research reactor that our sources in the IAEA told us should cost no more than $50 million. But the French deal ended up costing Baghdad more than $200 million. The French-controlled Habbania Resort project cost Baghdad a whopping $750 million, and with the same huge profit margin. With these kinds of deals coming their way, is it any surprise that the French are so desperate to save Saddam’s regime?

Germany was the hub of Iraq’s military purchases in the 1980s. Our commercial attach

Via the Opinion Journal, this shocker:

A Sikh man has received a five-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to the bombing of an Air India jet in 1985, which killed all the passengers on board.

Inderjit Singh Reyat – who has British and Canadian citizenship – was charged by a Canadian court with 329 counts of manslaughter – one for each of the people who died in the blast.

Two other men also stand accused in connection with the bombing.

The sentencing came as a surprise, although prosecution lawyers say they now concede that Reyat’s role in the bombing was relatively small.

Reyat, a former worker at Jaguar’s UK car plant in Coventry, stood but said nothing as his punishment was read out in court.
If I ever need a lawyer, I am calling this guy.

The folks at Spinsanity explain why Hesiod, NPR, and the rest of the lunatic fringe are wrong again.

In a commentary on National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered” yesterday [Real Audio], Daniel Schorr cited a proposed change in the federal school lunch program as evidence that President Bush is dismantling anti-poverty programs. But the charge is presented without adequate context, implying that Bush is actually cutting funding rather than changing the verification procedures used to evaluate eligibility.

Expect to hear the nitwits and the ideologues repeat the ‘Bush cut School Lunches” mantra throughout the election, despite the fact it is nonsense.
