Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

    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.
