Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Cole is on a roll !

I really should read my own blog.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

It’s the corruption, stupid.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Last Attempt

Ok- last call for color schemes and a possible new banner for a site re-design. I would like to use the following colors- Navy blue, pearl white background for text (maybe a light cream color), maybe some silver trim, and maybe some red- but tastefully done. I don’t want the banner to look like something made by the Montana militia.

I really need a new professional look that will simplify the banner I have now and will help to just ‘clean up’ what we have going now. If you are so inclined, please whip something up. I have the slogan I want to use, so if you are going to do something, e-mail me and I will tell you what it is.

Barring that, I am going to just pay for someone to do it, and will have to put it off a few months. Previous fund-raising attempts have been almost fruitless ($70.00), but if you are so inclined, hit the paypal icon to the right or buy an ad.

    Wow! $70.00!

    PayPal put $.18 into my account – and then took it out again, I think – just to get us started, and there’s been no activity since. I have a son with the genius to do a site like mine; he can be bought more cheaply than just about anyone else, I’d guess, although he would have the last word.

    You know where to find me if you are interested.

    I like the silver trim idea. Sounds spiffy. Obviously, I will not be any help with the technical side. Would an electric blue instead of red look good? I like electric blue. :)

    Sounds great! My only request is please do not use white letters on a dark background. Sullivan’s blog hurts my eyes.

    Thank you,

    Nancy

    Ditto. Hate white letters on dark backgrounds. Sullivan’s blog just hurts, period. :)

    I’m new around here, but I third the vote against white letters on a dark background, though a subtle shade of gray on black *sometimes* works.

    Not related to colors (since my own sites tend to revolve around the same 4 colors: black, gray, purple and green), but if you wanted to do away with the fixed width thing while you’re redesigning, that’d be ducky.

    Also, you might find this amusing: For some reason, your site triggers the Stop Sign of Doom at my office. I can’t figure out why – I read many blogs at work, including Wonkette, which is notoriously vulgar.

    Good call… Looks spiffy to me…
