Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Let there be snark.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Republicans do not trust women.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

The willow is too close to the house.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Everyone seems to really have their knickers in a twist about the NY Times/Jayson Blair scandal, and there is some obvious schadenfreude from a number of sources. My opinion of the NY Times has lessened since the scandal, but not really because of it.

The way I see it, the NY Times got screwed by a con-man- it could happen to anyone. However, is that any more damning than the institutional bias that will continue on irrespective of this scandal? Think about it- what is worse? Having one rogue reporter who made up stories, or having an entire staff that knows the truth but refuses or is not allowed to print it? I’ll take the rogue reporter, thank you.

    As far as I know, they not only got scammed, they were alerted to it, yet refused to do anything about it.

    That’s the difference.

    But, like you, my opinion of the Raines’ Times didn’t really drop all that much. Couldn’t drop much further anyway.
