Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Everybody saw this coming.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

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

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

“woke” is the new caravan.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

To those of you who doubted me yesterday when I said Josh Marshall is nothing more than a two-nbit hack, Paul begala with a degree- check this out.

Marshall links approvingly to a painting claiming Iraq was all about oil and states:

“A painting that rather sums up President Bush and Iraq.”

What a tedious fool.

*** Update ***

A reader notes this Mencken quip:

“It is the classic fallacy of our time that a moron run through a university and decorated with a Ph.D. will thereby cease to be a moron.”

    The blog is called “Talking Points,” not “Thinking Points,” for obvious reasons.

    If it’s all for oil, where’s my dime-a-gallon gas, huh? Huh?

    Cordially…

    This is news, John? Please.

    Josh Marshal is basically Joe Conason with slightly better manners; Sid Blumenthal without the lawsuits.

    That shot of JM on his site only shows him from mid-torso up. I strongly suspect that the shot was chosen to conceal the fact that his posterior is the size of a small planetoid–given all of the stuff he pulls out of it to provide material for his blog.

    “Josh Marshal is basically Joe Conason with slightly better manners”

    I think the problem is, he’s departing the Conason zone and approaching the Corn-itude.
