Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I was promised a recession.

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

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

We are aware of all internet traditions.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

We still have time to mess this up!

Consistently wrong since 2002

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Color ‘Consciousness’

I guess this is what Rachel Maddow would refer to as ‘color consciousness’:

Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields held an emergency news conference Wednesday to control the damage wrought by revelations her mayoral campaign had doctored a photo in a multicultural campaign flier to include two unknown Asian nonsupporters.

The composite photo, first reported in the New York Press last week, shows the Manhattan Borough president at a news conference standing beside several people, including an Asian man and woman — selected by Fields’ ironically named direct mail company, Winning Directions.

“By and large, I knew all of [the people in the montage], except the two Asians in there, I don’t know them,” said Fields, who conspicuously surrounded herself with Asian backers on the steps of City Hall.

Via Cynical Nation, who has the picture before and after the editing.

*** Update ***

Via Mr. Furious, another amusing photoshopping incident:

Bret Schundler, the right-wing darling running for governor of New Jersey, has gotten busted. That’s right: his campaign used the crowd shot from a Howard Dean presidential rally as the doctored backdrop for a Schundler campaign photo.

Dear Politicians,

Please leave the photoshopping to FARK.

    Dumb, but not quite as dumb (or funny) as this.

    Schundler site used doctored Dean photo

    Associated Press

    TRENTON – For a week, Bret Schundler’s campaign Web site showed the fiery Republican primary candidate in a suit with a crowd of cheering supporters behind him.

    The problem? They actually were rallying behind fiery Democratic candidate Howard Dean.

    Schundler’s image was used to digitally replace that of a smiling Dean in the picture, and the former Jersey City mayor’s name was superimposed over both a “Howard Dean for America” sign and a Dean cap worn by one of his supporters at a Great Falls, Va., rally last year.

    Here’re the photos.

    Wow, just when I was disapponted no one else was clicking into this thread, John goes ahead and gives me a mainbar link! Hoo-ha, I better get over to place and make sure there’s something there!

    That wasn’t a very smart move by Schundler considering that he’s 6’4″ and Howard Dean is shorter than Gary Coleman.
