Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

I was promised a recession.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

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

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Bark louder, little dog.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

You can’t love your country only when you win.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

I saw Ray last night, and from the moment he appeared in the film Jamie Foxx was Ray Charles.

I have never seen a movie about a real person where the actor played the part so realistically that I felt I was actually watching the real personk.

Simply amazing.

    I thought Val Kilmer did such a job when he played Jim Morrison in The Doors.

    He looked like him, and sang like him. I forgot I was watching Kilmer in short order.

    I agree with you about jamie Foxx. He’s come a long way since the days of playing ugly Wanda on “In Living Color”.

    It was amazing how he just blended into being Ray Charles.

    One of the biggest gripes i had with the movie “Ali” was that it just seemed so unnatural. It was clearly Will Smith trying (not very successfully) to be Ali.

    Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman was “I keep forgetting I’m looking at Carrey”-level realistic, to me.

    It almost worked completely and then the director threw in that dream sequence where Ray’s sunglasses are off and not for a moment in that scene did I think it wasn’t Foxx… the sunglasses were half the acting unfortunately. Nonetheless he still had one of the better performances of the year and deserves the Oscar. The movie, on the other hand, should have been cut down to two hours (or less) and the blatant historical inaccuracy about Georgia “banning” him is nothing short of infuriating.
