Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

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

He really is that stupid.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

Something to Mock

I am posting this Robert Scheer piece from the LA Times only because it has not received the level of derision and mockery that it richly deserves:

Is it conceivable that Al Qaeda, as defined by President Bush as the center of a vast and well-organized international terrorist conspiracy, does not exist?

To even raise the question amid all the officially inspired hysteria is heretical, especially in the context of the U.S. media’s supine acceptance of administration claims relating to national security. Yet a brilliant new BBC film produced by one of Britain’s leading documentary filmmakers systematically challenges this and many other accepted articles of faith in the so-called war on terror.

My head hurts already.

    Actually, it’s always smart to consider these possibilities…for example: What if Saddam has no WMD’s and he’s just been bluffing?

    However, when you see these coming from people like Scheer it’s ludicrous.

    Precisely. and what if, no doubt, 300k maniquins were buried in the desert of iraq? and liberals didn’t like handouts? and dogs didn’t like pissing on lamp posts? all this could be true, too, in the fairy tail world of msm.
