Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Come on, man.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Let me file that under fuck it.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

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

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Coastal Drilling

This makes sense to me:

The Senate voted today to allow a federal inventory of offshore oil and gas reserves, a program that opponents said would undermine longstanding bans on new drilling along much of the nation’s coastline.

Considering a broad energy bill, senators voted, 54 to 44, to let the Interior Department use a variety of technologies to try to measure the amount of oil and gas beneath the outer continental shelf.

Supporters said that in light of fluctuating energy supplies and rising natural gas prices, it was prudent to determine what was available if the nation had to rely on domestic sources. They denied it was a precursor to drilling in areas now off limits.

I am not sure why some people think their state shoujld be immune from helping to carry the burden of meeting the nation’s energy needs. Why shouldn’t we be able to drill where the oil is? Where do all the Greenpeace and Sierra Club members think the oil that they used to drive their Subaru to the co-op comes from?
