Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

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

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

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

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

People are weird.

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

No Justins, No Peace

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

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

I really should read my own blog.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Not Conservative Enough?

I have heard a lot of things about Senator Rick Santorum over the past few years he has been in the public eye. This is not one of them:

Incidentally, for those of you who might think Santorum is not conservative enough (um, would *anyone* be conservative enough for you?), here is the Senator

    John, I think you’re forgetting what has quietly become the penultimate social issue among movement conservatives: the right to slaughter puppies and feast on their entrails. Again and again, Sen. Santorum has routinely sided with PETA over mainstream America. He recently sponsered the Pet Animal Welfare Statute (PAWS), which is aimed to promote government regulation of so called ‘Puppy Mills’, wherin seven or more litters of dogs or cats are sold a year. He previously introduced a bill to force antifreeze producers to make their product ickier tasting, thus preventing animal consumption. He also promoted legislation against cock-fighting. He is given top marks by PETA and the Humane Society, and was provided with $5000 for his 2006 race by Humane USA.

    “We support elected officials who have a proven record of leadership on animal welfare issues and Rick Santorum fits that characteristic precisely,” said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society and a Humane USA board member.

    George Bush is a conservative. He famously reveled in shoving firecrackers up the asses of toads, and America is almost 50% behind him. Rick Santorum is not a conservative.

    Look, you can’t be a social conservative and be fiscally restrained at the same time.


    Medi-caid spending restraints – Yes.
    Federal spending austerity in FY-06 – Yep.
    To repeal Clinton

    It’s called “moving the goalposts.” If Rick Santorum isn’t “conservative” – this makes anyone President Bush nominates to the Supreme Court somewhere in the “middle.”

    Who is it, exactly, who’s saying Santorum isn’t conservative enough? The guy in the link just said “for those of you saying…..”.

    I don’t know that it has to do with his voting record as much as it has to with the fact that he supported Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey in ’04 Republican Senate Primary. That actually pissed off a lot of conservatives, but President Bush and VP Cheney supported Specter in the same primary, and while conservatives bitched for a while, they still obviously came out for Bush/Cheney.
