Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

He really is that stupid.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

The choice is between normal and crazy.

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

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

In after Baud. Damn.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

We still have time to mess this up!

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

A consequence of cucumbers

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Consistently wrong since 2002

When we show up, we win.

Props to WV Blogger Don Surber, who made the Opinion Journal’s Best of the Web today:

West Virginia’s Sen. Robert Byrd “is running scared,” according to blogger Don Surber, a Mountain State journalist. Last week, as Surber noted, the National Republican Senatorial Committee began airing anti-Byrd ads, and now Byrd is airing back. Surber transcribes the Byrd ad:

Announcer: Out-of-state special interests are running false attack ads against our Sen. Robert Byrd. Their agenda: privatize social security and tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas.

Man in blue shirt: I’m Sgt. Jared Towner and I served in Iraq. Sen. Byrd has provided for us, bringing jobs to West Virginia, funding schools and hospitals, protecting our jobs and supporting our troops.

Byrd: I’m Robert Byrd. I approved this ad because the people of West Virginia deserve the truth.

Noting that Byrd “never was re-elected by less than 30 percent,” Surber sees the early ad as a show of weakness: “West Virginia may have its first truly contest Senate race in 22 years.”

Good show.

    Rome Again

    I gotta tell you John, I have respect for the fact that he carries a copy of our Constitution in his pocket and tries to educate others about what it says; but to be quite honest, any member of the Democratic party who once belonged to an organization of racist bigots either started out with little to no marbles and developed them late (and must therefore apologize profusely, publicly and often in admitting he did those things but finally realized how wrong it was) or never had the integrity that a Democratic senator should have (of course, quite a few of our Dem congresspeople these days don’t have much integrity at all and I fully admit that.) I would never vote for him personally. I guess it is a good thing for him that I don’t live in West Virginia.

    We both seem to be in the same boat don’t we? Both of us disappointed by our respective parties.
