Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Republicans in disarray!

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

This really is a full service blog.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Via the Huffington Post, we see a picture of King Tut:

Fascinating. When did he find time to star in The Crying Game?

And (by reader request) Stargate?

    Maybe they’re on to something over there — he also found time to star in the Stargate movie as Ra.

    Ha! The first thing I thought of was Stargate as well.

    Then I though maybe it was a picture of a very tan Jeff Gannon on one of his Whitehouse “sleepovers”.

    I think he looks a little like Michael Jackson (pre-surgery, obviously).

    I think the HP snatched the pic from Drudge without accreditation.

    Very bad bloggy manners if I’m right.

    Oh, I didn’t realize drudge took the picture. I was under the impression he lifted if from the WashPost site himself.

    His upper lip looks like it’s been botoxed. I guess Hollywood is using the “Ancient Egyptian Secret”.

    Gatchaman,

    A little HT would’ve been so hard?

    You don’t HT the WaPo because you link to it so that would be superfluous.

    I wonder what the “Egyptians were black” folks over in Berkeley will have to say about this.
    The American team was working off a plastic copy of the skull and knew nothing about it, yet correctly identified it as “North African Caucasoid,” and their reconstruction was nearly identical to the French team’s work (who did know they were working on Tut).
    I note the Egyptian team gave him a more prominent, hooked nose…probably because they don’t want to deal with the idea the ancient Egyptians weren’t Arabic any more than they were black.

    Aw, man, I’ve not yet seen The Crying Game, and now you’ve ruined it!

    Well, actually, Jim Abrahams ruined it for me first, but he doesn’t have a blog.

    Well, I’m pretty sure Cleopatra didn’t wear SPF-50 suncreen or have “violet eyes to die for.”

    As for King Tut, I was thinking an early 80s Boy George devoid of costume, but with eye makeup in tact.

    My husband said he looked like one of the Baldwin brothers. I am fishing through his internet activity to see if I should be worried.

    You’d probably be wrong, Norbizness. Cleopatra was purportedly quite pale, and bathed in milk(asses milk, I believe) to maintain that paleness. She’d probably opt for SPF 100.

    She was also quite Greek looking, as befits one of Greek descent. Her portrait is on several coins.
