Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Alternative history is always a weak argument. Always.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

I really should read my own blog.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

In after Baud. Damn.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about it’s history.”

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, it’s door #2)

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

No one could have predicted…

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

    Just another indication of how the Bush Administration’s anti-science position is hurting this country. Very sad.

    NASA is not making the decision, they are trying to find a way to deal with the Bush’s “Mars, bitches!” policy that he announced and then promptly forgot.

    Policy decisions have consequences, Bush is ultimately responsible for setting agency priorities and he decided that Mars was mission #1 because . . . because . . . well I can’t remember why he thought Mars deserves such a high priority but it is NASA’s job to make it happen, however ill-conceived it may be.

    Sounds more like a threat from NASA than a true plan to cut. Even so, 4.2 million a year for Voyager…is it really worth that much?

    How much useful data is it still producing, and could we get better data in the future using more advanced probes? (Keep in mind, the solar system isn’t going anywhere soon.)

    Sure, I’d be all sentimental about V-ger but then again I don’t keep my 1976 Pinto around, either.

    Your 1976 Pinto isn’t transmitting data from outside Neptune and isn’t going to possibly give us information about the Oort Cloud before it gives out. Just saying.

    I gotta come down on the side of Kimmitt on this one; this is just asinine. I could see shutting it down if Voyager had experienced complete failure of all sensors, but I don’t think that’s the case.

    Here’s enough to fund Voyager for the next three years:

    $3,000,000 for the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation;

    $1,430,000 for various Halls of Fame, including $250,000 for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tenn., and $70,000 for the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame in Appleton, Wis.;

    $500,000 for “First Tee Program” to introduce young people to golf.

    $100,000 for the Tiger Woods Foundation

    $7.6 million for HAARP ($90.4 million since 1995)
