Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Bark louder, little dog.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

Second rate reporter says what?

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

After roe, women are no longer free.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Graham Out

I see that Bob Graham is announcing that he will not run for election again in 2004, thus vacating his Senate seat. I checked the Florida Archives of the invaluable Political State Report, and they have nothing up yet about how this race might shake out.

Anyone know anything?

*** Update ***

Matt has more.

    Perhaps Katherine Harris should run for the seat. She might not win, but the chance that Alterman and millions of his fellow Sore Losers will collapse into twitching heaps at the moment of her victory announcement is worth the risk.

    I hope she does run, actually; my understanding is that the oppo on her is pretty strong, and my schadenfreude at seeing that corrupt bitch get the kind of disdain she deserves would be visible from 300 to 500 miles away.

    It’s turning out to be a pretty bad year for the Democrats. They’re likely to get hammered this year in the gubernatorial contests. GWB is setting up a blowout on the presidential level as the economy picks up. The House is secure in Republican hands and now with so many Dem Senators retiring in an already unfriendly statistical climate (Dems have to defend more seats) it is a question of how many Senate seats will shift to the Republican column.

    The outside optimistic possibility is they get 60. That’s no longer ludicrous but just barely possible. The more likely outcome is that they get a functional 60 for the judicial nominees.

    Sweet dreams Dems!

    As usual, Republicans make clear that they do not care about democratic processes, just making sure that the “right” people win.

    There’s a reason Bush is so chummy with Putin. They have a lot in common, philosophically.

    Ah, the grand finale, followed by an invocation of “selected, not elected” and a lot of crying into watered-down martinis until the next meeting at the Tinfoil Lounge.

    *Scott departs, snickering*
