Although it is in large part mocking me, this is still pretty damned funny.
And here are the Greatest Hits of Atrios.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.
Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.
“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.
Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.
This blog will pay for itself.
The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.
You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.
Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.
Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.
Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?
“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)
If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.
Human rights are not a matter of opinion!
Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.
I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.
Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.
Technically true, but collectively nonsense
Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.
Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.
Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.
Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.
Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.
Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Why dso you continue to heap slurs on this woman? And don’t you know that ‘media whore,’ while a regrettable term in this case, is the same thing as ‘whore?’ Really, it was just a coincidence that all the lefties who encouraged their readers to write, call, and e-mail Erick Erickson and leave nasty messages on his voice mail for his wife left out the word ‘media.’
And ‘niggardly’ is a racial slur!

OMG, Michael Moore really is fat! I’m changing my entire worldview.
John Cole
I thought you were an ‘intellectually honest conservative,’ John Cole. I am done reading you until every post agrees with me!

Well, if you can’t admit any fault in your defense of Erick’s indefensible post… at least you have a sense of humor about it all! And I concur, it is pretty funny. Except for a few parts that are legitimately tragic.
John Cole
Yeah. Because that is what I was doing. Defending Erick’s post.
Why does John Cole hate America?

I’m just trying to imagine a band consisting of Atrios, Krugman, Kaye Grogan, the Mustached Editors Guy and pre-crazy Brian Wilson. It’s not pretty.

Well, John, I knew what you were trying to say, but after four years of watching righties smear everyone who criticizes Bush’s foreign policy with exactly that kind of rhetoric, I’d say a lot of people are pretty defensive about this whole thing.
That said, you seem like a pretty honest and decent guy, and I definitely don’t think it’s fair to lump you in with the snarling Republican attack dogs who promote the “objectively pro-terrorist” narrative and other disingenuously mock-indignant right-wing smear tactics (I also don’t think that’s what Andrew was trying to do, by the way). Either way, I know I’m not “done reading you until every post agrees with me!”.
tBone
That’s how I took it, although I mostly agreed with the larger points you were making.
Either way, glad to see you still have a (somewhat brittle) sense of humor about it.
