Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Wait, what?

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

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

The National Guard is not Batman.

“Alexa, change the president.”

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

People are weird.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

This blog will pay for itself.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Norah Vincent is Sorry

No one, not even the most vile partisan hack, would succumb to the temptation to sully Memorial Day with political agitprop over the conflict in Iraq. At least you would think that. You would be wrong. I don’t have the energy for a full frontal fisking, so I will just post her remarks and then respond the best I can:

We will and should say thank you a million times over to our veterans, as well as to those now serving overseas.

But in light of recent disasters like the one currently devolving in Iraq

Tell Em Dean

Dean Esmay on Democrat whining about Republican fundraising:

So. We’ll get to hear more handwringing from the whiners of the Left about how much more money Bush has than his Democratic challengers. But while you’re listening to this pathetic whining–and make no mistake, you’ll hear lots more of it over the next year or so—just remember: Democrats set the game up this way, and Bush handed them the rope by which they hung themselves.

It is truly deserving of unbridled contempt.

C’Mon Democrats

Alright Democrats, you are dropping the ball. Yesterday, I asked you to tell me what level of taxation is enough for you to call off the nasty rhetoric. We only had a few responses. So, we will try this one more time:

At what level of taxation will Democrats agree the rich are no longer greedy? Answers should be a percentage, rather than “when the budget is balanced and our needs are met.” Should a person making a million dollars be forced to give 5 out of every 10 dollars he/she earns to federal, state, and local government?

6 out of 10? When will you stop calling them greedy- just give me a number, please.

Once you have figured out what percentage of their income is enough to stop calling them greedy, then tell me what level of taxation would just be downright unfair and immoral. I am curious.

The War on Your Neighbors

Via TalkLeft, this absolutely disgusting devlopment:

Tomorrow the House will mark up a bill to allow the National Drug Control Office and Drug Czar John Walters to spend what could amount to up to a billion of our taxpaying dollars on advertising to fight state marijuana ballot initiatives.

Never mind the fact that we have record deficits, your government has decided to spend a billion dollars to fight the political will of the people. Absolutely unbelievable.

Massachusetts Blues

This is interesting:

The presidential campaign of Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry received some startling news Wednesday from his own back yard.

A poll recently conducted by the research institute Mass Insight shows Kerry trailing President Bush in the race for president in the Bay State.

The poll, which involved 500 Massachusetts voters at the end of April, shows the president with a 6 percentage point lead — the exact numbers have not been released.

This stands in stark contrast to a similar poll taken by the group in January. Back then, Kerry had a commanding 16 point lead in Massachusetts in a theoretical matchup with the president.

The obvious Democrat response is ‘remember Bush in 1991.’ That is true, but if I wanted to run a marathon, I would prefer to start 6 minutes ahead of the pack over 6 minutes behind the pack, if you know what I mean.

Jane’s Law

Jane Galt offers up this new law of politics:

Jane’s Law: The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.

She is on to something.

*** Update ***

Go read the comments at Jane’s site on this issue- hysterical. If violating Godwin’s law means invoking Nazi’s and Hitler into a conversation, and gross overgeneralizations coupled with mischaracterizations is known as pulling a Higgins Manoeurve, what do you propose we call it when a lefty turns any political discussion into an argument about Election 2000? I would suggest something involving Daley, who was a prime sewer trout furing the whole unpleasantness.

On A Lighter Note

The other day, John Hawkins at Right Wing News posted some notable quotes from every President. today, I would like to offer two of my favorite remarks from political pundits.

My first was uttered by a female (I want to say Cokie Roberts or Margaret Carlson) during the Clinton impeachment (I think):

“Never underestimate the Republicans ability to shoot themselves in the foot while it is in their mouth.”

My all time favorite is by George Will about Howell Heflin:

“Sen. Heflin is a large, loud man who seems to be under the impression that the lungs are a resorvoir of thought.”

Feel free to add your own favorites in the comments section.
