Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Everybody saw this coming.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Republicans in disarray!

He really is that stupid.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

A Real Tragedy

There is simply no excuse for these deaths:

France’s leading undertaker estimated the country’s death toll from the summer heat wave at 15,000 on Tuesday, far exceeding the official tally and putting further pressure on the government to improve its health care system…

The new estimate came after the government on Monday released a harshly worded report blaming the deaths on hospital understaffing during summer holidays, widespread failure among agencies and health services to coordinate efforts, and chronically insufficient care for the elderly.

What a waste.

Dixie Twits

I guess they need some press to prop up record sales again:

The Dixie Chicks have been voicing their political opinions again by criticising Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Last time they were in Europe, lead singer Natalie Maines, said the band were ashamed President Bush was from Texas.

Emily Robison, currently touring Europe with the rest of the band, has now said: “He is a great film star. But I find his idea to run for governor absolutely insane.”

She told German paper Abendzeitung: “America should be governed by people who have a clue. I hope he doesn’t win.”

Just A Question

by | 24 Comments

This post is in: 

David Duke stands before a gathering of white people from Louisiana, and states the foillowing:

Bill Clinton is out of touch. Bill Clinton does not share our values.

What would your reaction be?

Tren Lott stands before a gathring of his constituents, and states about his political opponent:

My opponent is not from Mississippi. He does not understand our way of life. He does not share our values.

How long would it be before the ‘southern strategy’ would be mentioned? How long before the ‘all Republicans are racist’ meme would be revived? Why then, is it acceptable for Cruz Bustamante, in front of an Hispanic audience, to state the following:

He (Arnold S.) does not share our values?

Just let me know what the difference is and I won’t make a big deal about it.

*** Update ***

I finally found it:

If Hispanic voters turn out, they could represent about 15 percent of the votes cast.

“Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn’t have our values,” Bustamante told the crowd. “He doesn’t live lives like we do. He doesn’t have the same worries that we have. He won’t fight for our families, our neighborhoods, our schools. He doesn’t understand our lives.”

Bustamante has played up his Hispanic roots and has applauded Davis’ recent signing of a bill allowing illegal immigrants to get drivers’ licenses, a bill the governor opposed before the recall initiative.

That is playing the race card. Period.

The Loony Left

If you ever wonder why I sometimes refer to some Democrats as the loony left, go check out this website, where Gephardt calls everything Bush has done a Miserable Failure, to include simply the man himsef, and then promises to revive the economy (which is recovering quite nicely, thank you) with (DRUM ROLL, please)- nationalized health insurance:

As president, Dick Gephardt will restore the American economy using principles of growth he helped forge in the early 1990s. Most significantly, he will work to provide the surest stimulus measure we can give our economy: providing guaranteed health insurance for all Americans. This will give direct financial help to families who pay health care premiums, provide assistance to businesses and state and local governments struggling to pay health care costs for employees, and free up money for better wages and job creation.

Insert your own quip in the comments section.

The Democrat Response

by | 17 Comments

This post is in: 

Saw Bush’s speech, thought it was ok, glad he explained in no uncertain terms that we will not leave Iraq until the overall mission has been completed. I had worried he might be going wobbly. Then, on cue, as if to reeassure me why I should not take Democrats seriously, the nine dwarves responded and reminded me why I am not a Democrat. Bush has done a lot of things to piss me off, but lord help us if the Democrats win in 2004.

The Solution is a Bullet

Saw this coming:

Mahmoud Abbas submitted his resignation as Palestinian prime minister today, and Israel tried to kill the spiritual leader and founder of Hamas with an airstrike in Gaza City, as the Bush administration’s drive for Middle East peace appeared in danger of disintegrating.

Sometimes I just wish the entire middle east would simply disappear. I am sure there are a few American presidents who have felt the same way from time to time.

President Bush had embraced Mr. Abbas, 68, as an alternative leader to Yasir Arafat, one who was willing and able to champion the new peace plan, called the road map. But in the eyes of most Palestinian politicians and analysts, Mr. Arafat emerged from the struggle strengthened, at least temporarily, with a public that, before Mr. Abbas’s elevation, had shown signs of wearying of him.

For the love of everything holy, will someone pleasse just put a bullet in that despicable terrorist Arafat?

In a closed-door session here today with Palestinian legislators, Mr. Abbas, who was described as worn out and sad, blamed Israel, the Bush administration and Mr. Arafat for undermining his government and his efforts for peace.

In a statement, as before the legislators, he lay the blame primarily with Israel, saying, “The fundamental problem was Israel’s unwillingness to implement its commitments in the road map.” He said Washington had not pressed Israel enough.

But, in a clear swipe at Mr. Arafat and the rest of the Palestinian leadership, he also complained about a “lack of support” for his government and “harsh and dangerous domestic incitement against the government.” On Thursday, when Mr. Abbas presented a summary to legislators of his first months in office, masked men spray-painted the walls outside with slogans denouncing his government, and dozens of protesters chanted against him.

Let’s see- the Americans promoted him and did everything they could to legitimize him, Israel showed remarkable restraint while Abu Mazen did nothing to reing in the extremists, yet he manages to blame them and not himself? It would be funny if it were not so sad.
