Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Consistently wrong since 2002

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

This really is a full service blog.

No one could have predicted…

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Second rate reporter says what?

Joke of the Week

Via Stefan Sharkansky, the best joke I have seen in a while:

Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on.

The first surgeon says, “I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered,”

The second responds, “Yeah, but you should try electricians. Everything inside them is color-coded.”

The third surgeon says, “No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.”

The fourth surgeon chimes in: “You know, I like auto mechanics. They always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end and when the job takes longer than you said it would.”

But the fifth surgeon, Dr. Morris Fishbein, shuts them all up when he observes: “The French are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls and no spine. Plus the head and ass are interchangeable.”

    Why do you think there is named a Dr. Morris Fishbein?
