Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Petty moves from a petty man.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

I find this shocking:

Democrats have big majorities in California because of favourable redistricting and because most voters favour their liberal positions on abortions and guns. And the news media provide little coverage of state politics and government: none of the Los Angeles or San Francisco television stations has a bureau in Sacramento, the state capital where Schwarzenegger will reign from.

The news director of one LA station once told me: “I suppose if anything happens up there, we could send up a crew for the day.” Viewers were thought to be more interested in car chases and crime scenes.

Even in my rinky-dink little WV, we get rather thorough and complete coverage of state politics, and there are also indy rags like the Graffiti, as well as NPR. This will make all the NPR haters cringe, but our public radio really is fantastic here in WV. Yes, it has a leftward tilt, but the quality of porgramming and the variety is amazing.

    The California news media is absolutely atrocious, L.A. especially. It’s the #2 market in the country but so much of the “news” is fluff.

    Hey, now, you’re almost acknowledging that the media has a responsibility to inform the public and that when it fails in this responsibility, the public may not make good decisions.

    Cool.
