Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

I am pretty sure Katy Tur wasn’t always such a bootlicking sycophant.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

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

People are weird.

Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.

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

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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.
