Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

I was promised a recession.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Consistently wrong since 2002

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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.
