Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

He really is that stupid.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

How stupid are these people?

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Good For Pat Sajak

Pat Sajak has a question:

Somewhere in the world, a filmmaker creates a short documentary that chronicles what he perceives as the excesses of anti-abortion activists. An anti-abortion zealot reacts to the film by killing the filmmaker in broad daylight and stabbing anti-abortion tracts onto his body. How does the Hollywood community react to this atrocity? Would there be angry protests? Candlelight vigils? Outraged letters and columns and articles? Awards named in honor of their fallen comrade? Demands for justice? Calls for protection of artistic freedom? It

    Now that was one acidic statement.
    Hollywood’s silence is more eloquent than any of it’s statements.

    One issue is that the Republican Party has so politicized the US security situation that merely noting that Islamic terror exists can be seen as endorsing US policy toward it.

    I don’t think it’s fear for one’s self — it’s fear for ones politics, among many other things (the distance, the “dog bites man” aspect, et cetera).

    Whereas making statements like the above can be seen as sniveling. So much for the value of can be seen as, as an excuse for not noting the obvious.

    I didn’t think it was possible to blame Hollywood’s silence on the GOP, but Kimmitt, you pulled it off. It was a pretty lame result, but at least you tried.

    The ritual pointing of the finger at the Republicans aside, I think Kimmitt is on to something. The Hollywood crowd is being quiet because they feel speaking up would help George W. Bush, and not helping George W. Bush is more important than anything else in the world to them.

    Pat Sajak is still alive?

    Whoever his agent is should be put in charge of designing the next generation of stealth aircraft. . .]:-)

    Would you want to die when your workday consists of ogling Vanna White?

    This filmmaker was not known in Hollywood, so why would anyone there get upset?

    Sajak has a point, but I sure hope I am not being held accountable for failing to denounce whatever the latest outrage du jur is.

    You guys might want to check out alicublog.com for Adroso’s research into past racist & sexist remarks made by Mr. Van Gogh. Sure, few deserve to die the way he did, but not everyone who makes film deserves a Hollywood sendoff.
