Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

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

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

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

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

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

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

    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.

    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.
