Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

It looks like winning debates is a black job!

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about it’s history.”

This fight is for everything.

“woke” is the new caravan.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

White supremacy is terrorism.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

“Joe Biden deserved better than he got from some folks in his own party.”

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

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

    Actually, John, yes, it is something you should be proud of. The rest of us, not so much, perhaps (although I confess to having been proud of “No Child Left”.) Anyone who actually chased that link would see that the participants, right and left, all agreed that the meme was utterly ridiculous, and, instead of wasting effort blasting it, spent the effort constructively by making a joke of it.

    “Ridicule is a sharper blade than refutaton,”as some enlightenment sage or another said.

    One rather shoddy tactic of the right is to single out a particularly ridiculous example of something being said about their beloved, howl endlessly about this treasured example being synonymous with the activities of all of those examining or daring to discuss Bush’s rank incompetence in whatever the current outrage might be (snoozing through 9-11, The War for the Phantom WMD, Katrina vs. Vacation Fun @ the play ranch), all in hopes of redirecting the debate away from its logical focus.

    But is this tactic working any more? Have Bush’s handlers gone to this polluted well once too often?

    I think we were making fun of Bush and the administration not the meme.

    I thought it was hilarious, particularly if read in light of the send up of Jonathan Swift satirizing Ann Coulter over on Kos. The line about David Broder was priceless. If anyone took that as a serious meme, Liberal or overwise, the joke’s on them.

    Perhaps the one thing we can all agree upon is that the President should not be left holding the baby.

    Man. Do you remember back in the day, when Googling for “Waffles” got you the John Kerry website? I love the internet.

    If you google President Bush Ate a Baby you get 2.35 million hits. If you google “President Bush Ate a Baby” you get three hits, two from this site and one from Kos.

    I didn’t know Bush ate Babies?

    I saw it on the Internet, therefore it must be true! Just like that Vince Foster guy didn’t commit suicide because the kooky Republicans said so on the internet.
