Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

This blog will pay for itself.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

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

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

The revolution will be supervised.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

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

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Kerryism

I could have sworn I wrote this post yesterday, but now it is gone. Weird.

At any rate, I am not thrilled at all by Slate’s decision to have a daily ‘Kerryism’, just as they have had a daily ‘Bushism’ for the last several years. Some may say this is only fair, but I have to wonder how being unfair to a Democrat and being unfair to a Republican somehow balances out to neutrality.

For the past three years, the idiot Weiskopf has contorted, distorted, and willfuly misinterpreted and misrepresented Bush’s comments to make him look like and idiot and a fool. Now the Slate buffoons intend to do the same thing to Kerry, with the idea that he exaggerates and is a liar.

Color me unimpressed. If they really want to do a public service, fire the idiots doing the Bushisms and Kerryisms and hire someone to check their new stories for factual errors and institutional bias.

    Well, he does exaggerate and he is a liar, but I agree that doing this in the context of making someone look foolish is not a good idea. If they want to outline his lies and exaggerations in an objective and professional manner, I’m cool with that.

    Color me unsurprised. This is the state of political discussion in America these days. It seems nobody is interested in facts anymore. Just read the average post on the average blog. Look at the bottom of page two in your average newspaper and note the number of retractions. Objectivity and professionalism in politics and political discourse have gone the way of the dodo. Opinion, rhetoric, propaganda, misinformation, and even slander are the order of the day. I guess you can color me cynical too, but at least it matches the jaded glasses through which I’ve viewed the world lately.

    The most recent had Kerry saying “ultimately”at the beginning and end of a sentence… Now that’s funny.
