Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

This really is a full service blog.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

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

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

We will not go back.

Guilty Plea?

It looks like more convictions in the corporate crime wave of the last 10 years:

A federal judge tentatively accepted a plea agreement Thursday for the wife of former Enron finance chief Andrew S. Fastow, a move that could lead to a plea from Fastow and possibly his cooperation with prosecutors investigating other top executives in the energy giant’s collapse.

Under the deal, Lea Fastow, a former assistant treasurer at Enron, would go to prison for five months. However, U.S. District Court Judge David Hittner said he had “preliminary concerns” and wanted a presentencing investigation to determine if the sentence was appropriate before finalizing it.

The big guys can’t be too far away.

    John,

    Shame on you! Who are you to PREJUDGE the likes of Ken Lay?!??

    As Howard Dean so wisely pointed out, we should rely entirely on the findings of a court before we start pronouncing sentence.

    If the Nazis at Nuremburg were worth the rule of law, and so is Osama bin Laden, do we not owe the same to the likes of Ken Lay and Shilling and the rest?

    Innocent until PROVEN guilty.

    So, let’s not hear any more pre-judging of poor Ken Lay, hmmm?
