Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

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

So very ready.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

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

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

So you want to write a story about oil well fires, and how we should be prepared to puta bunch of them out if there is another Gulf War? Great idea. A different angle, allowing you to speculate about the future based on an established history of what happened in the first Gulf War. But tell me, how do you write a 7,000 word story about oil well fires and not once mention Red Adair: An American Hero?

I met Red Adair when I was in Kuwait in 1991- so maybe I am biased. But, c’mon. He essentially invented the field of oil well fire containment.

Boxgate!

This has got to be one of the dumbest things any White House has attempted in a long time. Atrios has the whole goods, including pictures.

This is so patently stupid and neanderthal, whoever was behind it should be hit in the head repeatedly.

*** Update ***

It is even dumber than I thought. They actually taped over box labels, and not just merely set up a tapestry as I argued vehemently on Atrios’s blog. I don;t know how I missed that, but I feel stupid about missing the obvious.

Verizon, Court Ordered Net Nanny

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Recording companies won a victory in their fight against online piracy on Tuesday when a U.S. court ordered Verizon Communications to turn over the name of a customer suspected of downloading more than 600 songs in one day over the Internet.

U.S. District Judge John Bates said Verizon must cooperate with recording industry efforts to track down online song swappers, rejecting the telecommunications giant’s assertion that such a move would violate customer privacy and turn it into an online copyright cop.

Verizon said it would appeal the decision.

The case could set an important precedent as the recording industry asks schools, businesses and Internet providers to help them track down individuals who they believe are cutting into CD sales by trading digital songs through “peer to peer” services like Kazaa.

You are not paranoid. They really are watching everything you do.

I guess preening effeminate liberalism did not work, so MSNBC is going to replace Donahue with testosterone laced stupidity. MSNBC Presents, one hour live with Jesse ‘The Mouth” Ventura.

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has signed a deal for a new talk show on the MSNBC network and the Mall of America has been scouted as a possible location.

Negotiations between Ventura and the cable network were widely reported in November. KSTP’ chief poilical reporter Tom Hauser says three unidentified sources confirmed to him that an agreement had been reached.

Since taking office in 1999, Minnesota’s flamboyant governor had been a regular on the cable television news circuit. Ventura decided against running for a second term and left office Jan. 6.

MSNBC is an all-news cable channel whose top-rated show is “Hardball” with Chris Matthews. Ventura has appeared often on the program, several times as Matthews’ only guest.

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

How empty must your existence be that this is a goal in life:
LONDON (Reuters) – A first wave of mainly Western volunteers will leave London this weekend on a convoy bound for Iraq to act as “human shields” at key sites and populous areas in case of a U.S.-led war on Baghdad.

“The potential for white Western body parts flying around with the Iraqi ones should make them think again about this imperialist oil war,” organizer Ken Nichols, a former U.S. marine in the 1991 Gulf War, told Reuters.

His “We the People” organization will be sending off a first group of 50 human shields from the London mayor’s City Hall building Saturday, part of a series of departures organizers say will involve hundreds, possibly thousands, of volunteers.

Seriously, now. John Walker Lindh at least had the sense to arm himself.
