Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

In my day, never was longer.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

You cannot shame the shameless.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

No one could have predicted…

Peak wingnut was a lie.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

    John, I don’t understand. Is Trudeau making fun of the onanosphere…err, I mean blogosphere? Isn’t that, like, illegal? Aren’t bloggers…like, you know, extinct, or at least an e-dangered species? Aren’t they all evolving into online magazine editors and contributors, or something like that? If so, when you go after them, don’t the yellow elephants come out and stomp on you in order to prevent any left-wing-traitors-I-mean-Dustbins-or-is-it-Durbins from using the endangered species act to prevent their total elimination and/or the NARAL-loving evolutionists from using their example to subvert Kansas?

    okay. I admit I’m dense.

    Is the “cat food” reference about the blogosphere’s apparent fascination with cat-blogging, or have I missed something?

    (I mean, what is UP with cat-blogging? How come dog-blogging, which makes much more sense since dogs are infinitely superior, isn’t nearly as popular in the political blogosphere as cat-blogging?)

    I was surprised to see Trudeau slamming bloggers as basically being the chock-full-o-nuts crowd who can’t get jobs in real journalism. Have I been missing something for the past three years? Guys like Joshua Marshall and the Gadfly people are, like, real journalists who have jobs in real journalism (at least those parts of it that haven’t been completely corrupted by corporate influences). And Juan Cole is, like, a real university professor who blogs as one of America’s foremost authorities on the Middle East. I don’t know which blogs Trudeau reads … wait, maybe it’s The Rude Pundit (who also makes me laugh; fuck yeah!).

    Sometimes I don’t get Trudeau. He’s usually funny, but sometimes he’s schmaltzy and saccharine or, like today, stupid. Could that be the Jane Pauley influence?

    And I think the “cat food” reference had to do with bloggers being poor. In that regard, I do not–repeat, do not–recommend Whiskas.

    The irony is that many top bloggers are gainfully employed in big-league jobs: Professor. Lawyer. Businessman. Economist. Writing about current events is just something they do in their spare time, whereas “real” journalists do it full-time, often with less impressive results.

    No, the irony is that people are getting their panties in a wad over the Sunday Comics. Among most people, that might be considered a sign that [1] you might be taking yourself a bit too seriously to be so defensive about a cartoon, and/or [2] you’ve completely lost your sense of humor.

    But not among bloggers. This is an insult!
