Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

In after Baud. Damn.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The revolution will be supervised.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Everybody saw this coming.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

The willow is too close to the house.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

The Cover Up Continues

Things like this just infuriate me. While the New York Times is spending 2-3 days devoting numerous precious column inches to the Department of Justice’s OWN report saying there were mistakes made with post 9/11 detainees, the knuckleheads are COMPLETELY missing this cover-up:

One of the 19 suspects in last month’s terrorist bombings in Saudi Arabia was killed Saturday in an exchange of fire in a city in central Saudi Arabia, the state-owned Saudi news agency said, quoting a senior interior ministry official.

The suspect, Yosif Salih Fahd Ala’Yeeri, was also believed to be one of al Qaeda’s leaders in Saudi Arabia.

The statement said he was killed near the city of Turba in an exchange of fire with Saudi security forces. Two security members were killed, and a man who was with Ala’Yeeri was wounded.

The statement was issued Sunday but published in the Saudi daily papers Monday.

Idiots. Harp on the folks who ADMIT they made a mistake and are working to correct it, and ignore the people who are murdering people in the streets to bury the truth. Life really does revolve around getting Bush out of office for the losers at the NY Times.

    John,

    Why are you surprised? Conscientious lefties will often freely admit that the reason they protest the United States and not, say, Zimbabwe, is because our system of government listens, and places like China and Burma don’t.

    ‘Course, this winds up w/ the rest of ’em convinced that we’re actually WORSE (like those who argued that they didn’t believe Dubya any more than they believed Saddam), but, hey, that’s just part of the price, I guess….
