Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

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

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

Idiocy or Honesty

I am not sure why Tim Blair is being so hard on James Wolcott.

We should be applauding Wolcott’s honesty. After all, other people having to live with the consequences of the ideas and sentiments of the limousine class that resides in Manhattan is what liberalism is all about.

    Just read Woolcott’s trackbacks. Wow, right-wingers seriously don’t get metaphor…

    John, we “get” metaphors. Heck, we’ve even been known to employ them every once in a while.

    That being said, I’m all in favor of as many people as possible pointing out a shitty metaphor.

    I thought it was Chris Matthews who didn’t get metaphors?

    We “get” metaphors, John. Yet those of us who just made it through Frances in fear for our lives take someone wishing death and destruction on us kinda’ personally. Go figure: I guess that must prove his point that we’re a bunch of unsophisticated brain-dead peons.
