Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I really should read my own blog.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

When I was faster i was always behind.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

“But what about the lurkers?”

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

    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.
