Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

This really is a full service blog.

A consequence of cucumbers

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

After roe, women are no longer free.

We’re not going back!

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Let there be snark.

No one could have predicted…

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

    That’s funny!

    Crib notes for President Bush’s interview of Roberts for the Court:

    1. If a fly fishing case came before the court, which side would you take: Row or Wade?
    2. Do you uphold that part of the Constitution that says really rich Republicans get to keep all the money?
    3. Would you come around the desk and give my ass a big ol’ smooch?
    4. Which nickname do you like best – Chiefy or Supreme Guy?
    5. Any ideas on how to decriminalize coke without pissing off the fundies?
    6. Did your Dad fuck up any wars I need to know about?
    7. I know you are very smart. Can you listen to me talk for more than five minutes without snickering? I hate snickering from smart guys.

    Kennedy’s last question is one to which we all deserve an honest and forthright answer.

    It’s the breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack of champions!

    Dammit, I want potato skins right now. I have to do something to quell my appetite. I know! Mental image of Teddy Kennedy sans pants.

    That did it.

    Krista, what the hell are you trying to do to us by invoking that particular image?!

    Reaches for the scotch bottle to drown out unwanted mental pictures.

    Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!! You know, that image could become a DNC talking point. The Republicans wouldn’t have a chance to rebut, because they’d be too distracted trying to purge their minds of the disturbing image of…I don’t need to repeat it. You’ve suffered enough already. Sorry, Stormy.

    This, of course, is the funniest quote out of Washington in years.

    House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said yesterday that Republicans have done so well in cutting spending that he declared an “ongoing victory,” and said there is simply no fat left to cut in the federal budget.
