Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’re not going back!

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

If you are still in the GOP, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

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

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

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

This really is a full service blog.

In my day, never was longer.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

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

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

I really should read my own blog.

What with the oil fields taken and promised to be put under UN control, the Al Qaeda/Iraq link firmly established through the raids at the Ansar el-Islam base camps, some of the MAIN liberal Demorcat arguments against the war have already been ravaged. This was about terrorism, this is about liberating the IRaqi people, this is about WMD, and this is not about OIL.

Go peruse the websites of any lefty I am permalinked to and troll through the pre-war archives- with the notable exceptions of CalPundit and Yglesias, and look for their ridiculous assertions. Since opposition to this war is really about hating Bush and the ‘chickenhawks,’ they will conveniently dismiss all their previous arguments. Now their complaints will be focussed on excessive casualties (which we have not yet suffered- but just wait for the predictions), collateral damage (while failing to recall who is responsible for the human shields and the atrocities committed to date), and expect to hear this phrase, ove4r and over again:

“Sure- we won the war, but we lost the peace.” Any time there is any setback, and if post-war Iraq is not at least as peaceful and prosperous as New Jersey six months after the end of the war, this phrase will be repeated. Be prepared for it. On the upside- the phrase is just a bunch of words, and as the loony lefts arguments fall like the stack of cards that they are, that is all they really have left- words.

***Update***

Newt Gingrich stated essentially the same thing just a few minutes ago on Hannity and Colmes. All they have left is the ‘lose the peace’ mantra. And they will do their best to make you believe we have, even if that is nonsense. Remember- keep your eye on election 2004, that is ALL they care about. Power.

    Hi John: When I follow the first link in this post I get redirected to – webcam babes. I assume that was not your intention, and that the camgirls are not in league with Al Qaeda?

    Wait, those camps were in the Kurd controlled part of Iraq under the no-fly zone. So Saddam wasn’t really in with them. Still, having a countried divided up like that wasn’t a good idea. No we can unite them under the banner of a US-led government.
