Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

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

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

This blog will pay for itself.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

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

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Fight them, without becoming them!

The choice is between normal and crazy.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

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

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Power Plant Ruling

It will be interesting to see the fall out from this ruling.

Seems like it provides incentives for companies to make modest improvements in environmental trechnology without forcing them to choose between keeping the curreent oldplant or investing boatloads to create new plants. Likewise, it seems to have struck down the parts that the environmentalists felt were most egregious.

Am I distorting this?

    Though I haven’t looked into the decision much, it definitely does come across as a pretty strong compromise and something that environmentalists have a lot of cause to be happy about. Rocky Mountain News has this little rundown of some key changes:

    “Rules allowing facilities to look back 10 years instead of two years when setting a baseline against which future emissions increases are calculated.”

    That ruling I do not like at all. Allowing facilities to look back 10 years in the realm of technology is way too lenient. Think about how much technology changes in 10 years…
