Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

I was promised a recession.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The revolution will be supervised.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Infrastructure week. at last.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

The next time the wall wtreet journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

Let there be snark.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

This really is a full service blog.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Seems someone agrees with Kofi Annan that Saddam should be tried in an ‘International Court:’

Saddam Hussein’s family wants the former leader to be tried by an international court instead of a special tribunal set up by the U.S.-installed Iraqi Governing Council, one of his daughters said Tuesday.

Raghad Saddam Hussein said her father appeared sedated in footage released Sunday by the U.S.-led occupation authority after his capture near his home town of Tikrit.

    Clark wanting to defend Saddam is no big surprise. If the US accuses anyone of crimes against humanity, you can bet Ramsey Clark will be knocking on his door to defend him.

    Verges is the international equivalent of F. Lee Bailey: I especially like “he must be presumed innocent”, which is not the way the Code Napoleon of his native France works.

    I am perfectly willing to have anybody who wants to defend Saddam. The only thing I ask the lawyers to do is defend him before an Iraqi tribunal and stand liable for any violations of Iraqi law or legal ethics during the trial. Clark and Verges are not lawyers, but propagandists. They have never been held liable for their violations of international law. Let there be a moonbat convention in Baghdad and let the Iraqis try the criminals among them.

    Hey, I have no problem with using international procedures here; namely, Turkish pre-trial detention facilities, North Korean interrogation techniques, and Chinese execution methods (including billing Saddam’s family for the bullet or rope).

    Never let it be said that we shouldn’t share. ]:-)
