Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Republicans in disarray!

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Nader in 2004

It seems that the party of abortion on demand has found one choice they don’t like: Ralph Nader. Sayeth Oliver:

I promise you, this is the last major post on Ralph Nader.

Plucky Duck from Tiny Toons Adventures once described himself as a green duck with “an ego the size of Cleveland”. Well, step aside Plucky, because there’s a new ego in town. Ralph Nader has decided to inject himself into the presidential campaign not because progressives are clamoring for him to run (in contrast, General Clark was drafted into the race), but because nobody has given a crap what Ralph Nader thinks of anything since 2000.

Nader is not going to have an impact, but it really does help you understand the DNC mindset- vote for us, or piss off. I guess the issues are secondary.

If It Walks Like A Duck

Via Kaus:

Kerry gets a Mulligan from CBS, whose producer gives him a second chance to nail a too-long sound bite. Does Bush get do-overs? It’s bias I tell you! … Actually, of course, it’s the institutional needs of CBS–they have to have something to go on the news. The old strategy for a candidate was to say only one usable thing every day, and then the nets would have to go with that. Kerry may be pioneering a new strategy of giving the networks nothing usable, thus reducing them to utter desperation, after which they will probably give him free expert wording tips and accept a soundbite of twice they length they had originally planned…

Instapundit asks: “Is it Bias?”

Of course it is bias- but like most media bias, it is not bias because towards the left or the right, it is a built-in bias towards laziness. Most reporters don’t know much, don’t care much, and if given the choice, will take the easy way out. And the reporting shows it.

The Impotent UN

And the UN shows once again why many think it is nothing more than an international parliament of whores:

Secretary General Kofi Annan has combined his finding that hasty elections in Iraq are not feasible before the June 30, the end of American governance, with a determination to leave to Iraqis themselves the decision on the best alternative way of restoring sovereignty, United Nations officials said today.

“The ball is back in the court of the Iraqis and the C.P.A., with the U.N. willing to be called in to help as requested,” Mr. Annan’s spokesman, Fred Eckhard, said, referring to the American-run Coalition Provisional Authority.

Thanks for nothing. At least they are staying somewhat out of the way. Like the Democratic party, every time I see the UN given an opportunity to lead, they just drop the ball.

Things That Keep Democrats Awake at Night

This post is in: 

Wanna spook a Democrat? Sneak up behind them and yell “Nader in ’04!” Frightens the hell out of them, so much so that they are bringing out the goons:

Party boss Terry McAuliffe has just admitted meeting repeatedly with Nader to beg him not to run.

“I don’t want Ralph Nader’s legacy that he got George Bush for eight years in this country,” McAuliffe fretted on CNN.

“I’m urging everybody to talk to Ralph Nader. I’d love him to take a role with our party, to energize people, to get out there and get the message out.”

Speaking of that asshole McAuliffe- he was on the Big Show with John Gibson making the Bush AWOL charges again. According to McAuliffe, the records Bush has released ‘prove nothing.’

Trouble in Iraq, enormous deficits, numerous issues with which to capitalize upon, yet they seem to be happy to keep pushing moderates away from their party by either being outright liars or transparent phonies. The Democrats are unfit to lead.

Adios, Mr. Moyers

Bill Moyers is leaving PBS:

Bill Moyers, whose weekly magazine “Now” on PBS has capped a 30-year career in TV journalism, is leaving the broadcast after the November elections.

His next venture: Writing a long-proposed book about Lyndon Johnson, whom he served before and during Johnson’s presidency.

“It isn’t because I feel old,” Moyers, 69, told The Associated Press of his decision, which he made official Thursday. “It’s because I feel compelled to do something else now, that only I can do – which is that book.”

The veteran journalist said he had pondered the new course for some time, and originally considered stepping down in June, when he turns 70. Instead, he will scale back his duties after that, but stay on through the presidential race.

I only hope they replace him with someone slightly less partisan. Maybe Howard Dean or Al Gore.
