Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

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

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

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

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

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

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

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

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

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

I really should read my own blog.

Am I the only one, or do others think that all the remote shots during the Hurricane coverage look like bad SNL skits?

    No, you’re not the only one.

    In fact, I’m sure SNL will probably have a spoof of the coverage this Saturday night.

    BTW, the other night on the E channels SNL rerun, they had an episode where Rumsfeld is giving a press conference and he was answering every question by quoting a line from “These Boots are Made for Walking” by Nancy Sinatra?

    Hilarious stuff, especially since SNL has gone downhill since Will Ferrell left.

    I keep waiting for the “Live from New York…” But then I remind myself that the camera work is better on an SNL skit and the faux reporters usually have something better to say than “yep, it’s a wet one Ted, back to you.”
