Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

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

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

I really should read my own blog.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

No one could have predicted…

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

So very ready.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

The lights are all blinking red.

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

To Close to the Truth

This fresh off the wires:

A moderate earthquake was reported in Virginia Tuesday.

Early estimates were for a quake with a magnitude of 4.5 located west of Richmond, the U.S. Geological Survey (news – web sites) said.

There were reports the temblor was felt in Maryland as well, and police in the District of Columbia said they received a number of calls from people who noticed it.

Former Vice President Al Gore, author of Earth in Balance and newest member of the Dean campaign, immediately blamed the Bush administration for their abyssmal environmental policies. “If Bush had not spent so much time fighting forest fires out West and shoveling snow in the north, he would have known the real threat to our nation were Atlantic coast earthquakes,” the impassioned Gore stated. “Governor Dean and I are going to show George Bush a thing or two about natural disasters.”

I am fine with this:

The Pentagon has barred French, German and Russian companies from competing for $18.6 billion in contracts for the reconstruction of Iraq, saying the step “is necessary for the protection of the essential security interests of the United States…”

Under the guidelines, which were issued on Friday but became public knowledge today, only companies from the United States, Iraq and 61 other countries designated as “coalition partners” will be allowed to bid on the contracts, which are financed by American taxpayers.

Among the eligible countries are Britain, the closest American ally in Iraq, as well Poland and Italy, which have contributed troops to the American-led security effort. But the list also includes other nations whose support has been less evident, including Turkey, which allowed American aircraft to fly over its territory but barred American forces at the last minute from using its soil as a staging point to invade Iraq from the north in March.

I am sure this will be spun by the Democrats as more reckless disregard for Old Europe, but as far as I am concerned, until they begin to be useful allies, we might as well just treat them as they deserve- hindrances to progress in Iraq. I see absolutely no reason that our tax dollars should go to french coffers, when the entire reason they were opposed to deposing Hussein were their oil interests to begin with.

When the French and others decide they want to become partners in the region, I say allow them to bid. For now, let them sit and simmer. After all, what are they going to do? Dislike Americans? Dislike George Bush? Impede any meaningful action in the UN and the Security Council? Blame Israel? Provide diplomatic cover for more tyrants? Attempt to manipulate Turkey with threats of repercussions? Sell arms to our enemies in violation of UN sanctions? What could the French possibly do that they have not already done?

In other news, the Japanese have decided they will send troops to aid in the reconstruction:

Japan decided today to deploy ground troops to join the American-led war in Iraq, in what will be its most ambitious military operation since its surrender to the United States at the end of World War II.

After months of agonizing, punctuated by the weekend state funeral of two diplomats gunned down in northern Iraq, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi’s cabinet approved a plan to send up to 600 ground forces to southeastern Iraq, in a mission to last from six months to one year.

Thanks, fellas.

Bushs’s Response

I was wondering all day how long it would take before a reporter asked Bush about the Gore endorsement, and what his reponse should be. Personally, if I were president Bush, and a reporter asked me what I thought about Gore endorsing Dean, I would reply:

“I guess that makes sense. I am assuming Bob Dole intends to endorse me.”
