Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Consistently wrong since 2002

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

There has been so much bullshit surrounding the judicial nominees that I don’t know where to even rank this doozy, but it is up there:

The deal was a defeat for Bush, who on Monday had again demanded straight up or down votes on all his nominees. It also was a blow to religious conservatives, who have advocated for more socially conservative judges and who put considerable pressure on Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., and Senate Republicans to change the filibuster rule. The Christian conservative Family Research Council had e-mailed supporters asking them to “pray that no compromise will be allowed which will let this unprecedented use of the filibuster remain.”

Apparently, God likes the filibuster. Or maybe he is just tired of a few shills taking his name in vain for purely political reasons.

    I spoke to God on my celphone only today, and He said that he voted Democratic. He also said that he has HBO up there just so He can watch Bill Maher.

    You have it wrong, according to my reading, the quote from the Christian conservative Research Council is asking god to defeat the compromise. So it’s incorrest to say “Apparently, God likes the filibuster”. They meant the exact opposite.

    You have to be careful of people who speak to God directly. Apparently its only okay if groups like MoveOn and the American way lobby. Hmm unusual definition of democracy.
