Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Republicans in disarray!

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Face of the Left

Forget Howard Dean. If the GOp wants io be sure of victory in 2004, they should make Arnie Arnesen the face of the left. I had never seen her before, and I just got about five minutes of her on Hardball. Shrill voice, face scrunched up, lips pursed, screaming and ranting with that self-satisfied smug look of a toddler on a pot when she thought she had said something clever- she reminded me of everything I hate about the fringe. She reminded me of the strident leftist college profs who run around miserable, outraged at everything, incapable of smiling. Blech.

    She’s quite a character. She was here at a local university (Wayne State University) talkin’ in a symposium I attended. I got the distinct impression that she has “issues” outside of the issues.
