Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Found liable for massive fraud, is required to post a massive bond, gets a break, then files a *fraudulent* bond!

Cole, when it comes to calico cats, restraint is overrated.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Joe Biden can go out like FDR, not by dying in office, but by crushing the fascists.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

The lights are all blinking red.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

This may be the least surprising news story since Michael Jackon was accused of child molestation:

Art Garfunkel, part of the folk music duo Simon and Garfunkel, was charged with marijuana possession after police pulled his limousine over for speeding in upstate New York.

Garfunkel, 62, had a small amount of marijuana in his jacket pocket when a state trooper stopped the limo Saturday afternoon in Hurley, 55 miles southwest of Albany, the Daily Freeman of Kingston reported.

The trooper smelled marijuana after approaching the vehicle, in which Garfunkel was the lone passenger.

Garfunkel, of Manhattan, was scheduled to appear in court on January 28 on the charge, which carries a possible $100 fine, or he could respond by mail.

I guess I just missed the part where someone was hurt by Garfunkel’s behavior- you know, the part that makes this worthy of arrest and public attention. I just hope Willie Nelson steers clear of Hurley, New York.

    So that’s what happened to his career.

    If he’d put down the weed, he might have been able to hook up with a cute hippy chick half his age, like Paul did with Edie Brickell.

    The True Drug Czar

    Are you Kidding me? Only a $100 fine in New York? No F-ing way!! I thought New York was supposed to have harsh drug laws. Out here in Oregon posession of less than a Z is a minimum $500 fine. It is actually written into law. so I just refuse to pay the fines. Screw the law any way why we need a group of people who get paid to make more laws is beyond me. I think it is time some laws are unmade!! When ballots fail us bullets become our only option!!

    The Voice of Reality

    Any informed, rational human being knows that marijuana should be decriminalized. Too much religious conservatism taints our politics. But working within the law, a $100 fine ain’t bad. Just don’t drive around with a pound of weed in your car. If I were Art, I would have said, “Yeah – so what! I laugh at your $100 fine. Now – let me go get high in peace.”
