Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

Republicans don’t trust women.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

In after Baud. Damn.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Celestial Drops

Katherine Harris is going to be a real gift to bloggers web magazines in the upcoming election. I don’t even know where to begin with this story:

Four years ago, as the state labored to eradicate citrus canker by destroying trees, officials rejected other disease-fighting techniques, saying unproven methods would waste precious time and resources.

But for more than six months, the state, at the behest of then-Secretary of State Katherine Harris, did pursue one alternative method — a very alternative method.

Researchers worked with a rabbi and a cardiologist to test “Celestial Drops,” promoted as a canker inhibitor because of its “improved fractal design,” “infinite levels of order” and “high energy and low entropy.”

But the cure proved useless against canker. That’s because it was water — possibly, mystically blessed water.

The “product is a hoax and not based on any credible known science,” the state’s chief of entomology, nematology and plant pathology wrote to agriculture officials and fellow scientists after testing Celestial Drops in October 2001.

In the same letter, Wayne Dixon recommended that the state break off its relationship with the promoters of Celestial Drops.

If you collect enough Celestial Drops, do you get Jesus juice? Seriously- this sounds like the start of a joke:

“A rabbi, a cardiologist, and a politican all walked into a bar and ordered Celestial Drops…”

    Were it not for the fact that Harris is running for a seat currently held by a Democrat, I’d like to see her in the Senate purely for the entertainment value….

    Maybe we can get her to move to Utah?

    Rove didn’t seem to want her to run, and was courting other conservatives to run against her. She complained publicly. Is this his payback for her veering from the party line?

    I like how she blames the scientists for the failure of the testing. Classic.
