Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Come on, man.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

“Alexa, change the president.”

I really should read my own blog.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

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

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Kos at the Daily Kos and I find something we agree about:

Okay, Mark Fabiani is being quoted as a Clark “spokesman”. Fabiani was Gore’s deputy campaign manager for communications, so he’ll probably reprise that role for Clark.

And remember Chris Lehane, who I called an asshole yesterday? Remember how I hoped he wouldn’t end up on the Clark campaign, because he was such an asshole?

The only thing I would add is the Clymer qualifier- Lehane is a Major-League Asshole. He represents EVERYTHING that is wrong with politics, and history will not judge him well.

*** Update ***

And just like that, Kos goes off the deep end again. I guess he just came up for air with the Lehane remarks.

Coast to Coast

Apparently Art Bell is returning to Coast to Coast. v I had insomnia a couple of weeks ago, and my usual cures are AM radio or C-Span. C-Span failed, so I turned on Coast to Coast with George Noory, and it is clear to me that night time talk radio is a strange beast. One call was about a fellow who had been possessed by Demons (well- one demon, and he fought it off), another fellow lost 13 days in the Bermuda Triangle. Strange goings on, indeed.

This is news only to those who like to continuously say that Bush is lying to the American people:

President Bush said Wednesday there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 — disputing an idea held by many Americans.

“There’s no question that Saddam Hussein had al-Qaida ties,” the president said. But he also said, “We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the Sept. 11” attacks.

The president’s comment was in line with a statement Tuesday by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who said he not seen any evidence that Saddam was involved in the attacks.

In one week, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice have all stated the same exact thing they have stated for the past two years- there is no evidence that Hussein had anything to do with 9/11, but we do know that he was connected to Al Qaeda and had ties with numerous other terrorist groups. I am sure someone out there is going to be misguided enough to claim that this is yet another Bush lie, or that he is just ‘coming clean’ from his previous lies (apparently mentioning Al Qaeda, 9/11, and Osama all in one speech qualifies as a ‘lie’ nowadays).

Once again, whether you agree with their assessment or not, the administration believes the action in Iraq was an integral part of the wear on terror, not a distraction. I am inclined to agree, and I am glad we have ended the regime and are taking care of the hornet’s nest. Still a long row to hoe, though.

Wednesday Bullets

Tacitus has his daily bullets up, and this might be the anrkiest episode ever. I particularly enjoyed the description of Kevin Drum’s Paul Krugman interview:

Paul Krugman is hopelessly naive and never paid attention to conservatives before the year 2000. That’s the only conclusion I can draw from his interview with Kevin Drum, in which he plumbs the depths of the right’s hidden agenda to find that we’re opposed in principle to most if not all social programs! Back to the hive, comrades, we are exposed. The corollary rhetoric about the abolition of the First Amendment and the cancellation of meaningful elections is just risible paranoia. There is a worthwhile nugget of insight in his observation that the strategem of “starving” social spending via underfunding and deficits simply won’t work absent national catastrophe; certainly an important point in itself. But on the whole, if Drum’s exposition was supposed to move us beyond Krugman’s image of a frenetic, blinkered partisan, it only succeeded in solidifying that perception. Next: Krugman finds that libertarians want to eradicate government altogether. Someone must warn the American people.

Giggle.
