Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

No one could have predicted…

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

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

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

T R E 4 5 O N

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

After roe, women are no longer free.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

My father tells me that Chris Matthews just had his ass handed to him by Ben Stein. Anyone have details, a clip, or a transcript?

    I don’t have a link or a transcript, but I saw the exchange, and I have to agree that Ben Stein cleaned Chris Matthews clock.

    Ben Stein can really do that!

    I’m going with the Redskins loss on this one, and the Red Sox curse being broken.

    Justin O:

    That’s illogical. The Red Sox curse being broken would suggest that streaks *end*. That is more likely, it would seem, to support the idea that the Redskins’ loss loses its impact, rather than that the Redskins’ loss remains intact.

    Or am I taking prognostications and nostrums too seriously?

    If this is about the transcript posted above – Matthews knows that Stein is completely out of his league and so stayed on the fringes of an actual argument.

    I wouldn’t call it clock cleaning as much as Matthews knowing his place. It

    I agree with Dorian. After the crap Matthews pulled with Malkin and Miller he has possbily gottent he word that a lot of people would be perfectly happy to see him humiliated on live TV. So he’s walking lightly around those equipped to do it.
