Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Books are my comfort food!

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Consistently wrong since 2002

Petty moves from a petty man.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

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

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Another One Down

Ever wake up in the morning, relaxed, refreshed, and ready to go, and then you see something that just makes you want to go back to bed and pull the covers over your head? Today is one of those days:

The sad news is that my dear friend and colleague, Dave Barry, is taking an extended leave (without pay or health benefits).

It was a sad moment for all of us the humor business — Robert Novak, George Will, Bill O’Reilly. The good news is, Dave is gone but not dead — though in a few months everyone will think he is.

Shit.
