Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

Bark louder, little dog.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

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

The Huffington Post

Provocative post titled “Some Dare Call It a Theocracy” by Max Blumenthal at the newly minted Huffinton Post blog, and this piece on Ipods is worth a gander. Of course, I will probably make it a daily read just to see what Jim Pinkerton has to say.

I do have to ask, shouldn’t a blog like this, in the spirit of openness that most bloggers adhere to, have a public hits counter? I use the hit counter on other sites all the time, because it helps you find the daisy chain of who is saying what. Yes, I understand there is technorati and memorandum, but I like the quick and dirty way of seeing who is directing what where.

Overall, I like the site- I am interested in what Jon Cusack, Harry Shearer, and Elizabeth Warren and many others have to say. Some may have mocked it, but I bet it turns out to be a great success. Personally, I can’t wait for the first bitter internecine struggle, which is bound to happen when someone pisses someone else off. Too many diverse opinions for that not to happen.

    Hey, don’t forget David Mamet, one of the few relatively conservative (albeit obscence) voices in Hollywood…

    Interesting site.

    Blumenthal has an interesting point: at what point does a Republican Party hijacked by extremists become irrelevant? Or dangerous?

    And to think I thought the Democrats would be brought down by their extremists first…

    Cripes. Sid Blumenthal is as wide-eyed as ever.

    Another fear monger.

    It isn’t Sid Blumenthal. It is Max Blumenthal.

    The dead give-away was the byline that stated “Max Blumenthal” and this quote from the post:

    “Provocative post titled “Some Dare Call It a Theocracy” by Max Blumenthal at the newly minted Huffinton Post blog…”

    The GOP sky is falling! The GOP sky is falling!

    We’ve been found out by someone named Max Blumenthal, Eva Gabor Huffington, and lately, Mr. John Cole.

    Cordially…

    Not Missing A Trick

    If you want to know what nefarious things the Theocrats are up to these days, look no further than John Cole’s Blog.

    Trust me, if someone is trembling in fear of or rage at the Christian Right on the Internet, John’s going to link to it.

    I’ll weigh in. I noticed Instapundit, John Cole and James Joyner taking note of it this morning
