Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

“They all knew.”

How stupid are these people?

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

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

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

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

“woke” is the new caravan.

I hope to hell they nominate this guy:

With a wary eye on Gen. Wesley K. Clark’s rise in national and New Hampshire polls, Howard Dean’s campaign has begun to limit his availability to the press, and the candidate himself is watching his words after several recent statements unleashed a storm of criticism from opponents.

Dr. Dean, who has spent two years campaigning as the candidate willing to say what he thinks, initially told reporters that he would be “happy” to discuss his tax policy. Then, as aides glared at him, he immediately said a senior adviser had “veto power” over what he would say.

“I’m not allowed to say I’m happy to do anything anymore,” he added.

Later in the day, the campaign released a statement saying Dr. Dean had long intended to propose “additional tax reforms.”

His new reticence came as a CNN/USA Today poll published Wednesday showed a slide in Dr. Dean’s support among Democrats nationally, with his lead over General Clark shrinking to four points
