Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

This fight is for everything.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

You don’t see this every day- you commenters are getting featured in Slate for coments made here:

In a response to a post that supports the decision on moderate blog Balloon Juice, commenter SomeCallMeTim snarks: “We were always going to declare victory and go home, regardless of the facts on the ground. The only question was whether we’d leave Iraq in the midst of a civil war or under the thumb of a Saddam-lite. I admit that I hadn’t considered that we make it a client state of Iran.”

Pretty funny, actually.

    A good comment indeed. But probably not one that will increase John’s blogosphere reputation… hell, I see that Slate is only calling it a “moderate” blog now. All that fire and brimstone against Kerry, for nothing.. it seems like such a waste now..

    I always felt we were being watched. I wonder if any of us with our less than loving posts about Bush will find it harder to get loans or anything like that.

    Nah. You’ll just open your front door some morning and find the secret service and a SWAT team in your front yard.

    The comment cudda been a contenda, but blew it with the limited and, well, plain un-nuanced “only question” bit.

    Some of us have much higher expectations, are those are being gratified.
