Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

People are complicated. Love is not.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Infrastructure week. at last.

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.

    I have to say (modestly) that the comments on this site are consistently diverse & excellent. No offense John, but I hope your traffic stays at around this level

    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.

    Cordially…
