Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

When we show up, we win.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

Republicans do not pay their debts.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Second rate reporter says what?

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

I lovethe Mountaineers, but sometimes I just can’t stand the students:

University officials condemned students and fans who celebrated West Virginia’s victory in an NCAA regional semifinal by setting about 50 street fires.

The Mountaineers defeated Texas Tech 65-60 on Thursday night, moving West Virginia into the regional finals for the first time since Jerry West led the school to the NCAA championship game in 1959.

“It’s unfortunate that people who had nothing to do with the team’s victory stole the spotlight briefly after the game,” said Ken Gray, WVU’s vice president for student affairs.

Gray vowed Friday that students who set fires will face sanctions, including expulsion.

These guys on the basketball team are all class, their coach is all class, and this has been the feel-good Cinderella story of the tournament. For once, West Virginia and West Virginia University is receiving nothing but positive press, and then these jackasses go and do this. Idiots.

Shit. It made Drudge.

    I don’t want to jinx them or anything, but this has been a really great run for the Mountaineers. It’s too early too say this–but I am thinking Villanova 1985, just because all the victories have been close and somewhat improbable, and yet WVU has won not due to luck but due to just wanting to win more.
