Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

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

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

This really is a full service blog.

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

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Not all heroes wear capes.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

    Hehe, those college news services are a gold mine of unintentional humor.

    I once got one from my alma mater about a trip to a park on Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive that said “LSD Trip Promises Unique Experience.”

    I saw a book once of accidentally hilarious headlines, but unfortunately I’ve never been able to find the same thing online. Probably my favorite: “Bishop defrocks gay priest.” Second best: a photo caption talking about Johnny Cash and his wife, but it’s under a picture of Johnny Cash and a horse.

    I saw a book once of accidentally hilarious headlines,

    Sounds like “Red Tape Holds Up Bridge”, by Jay Leno (he had (has?) a regular bit on funny headlines). Here’s one site (among many) that has a bunch, probably taken from that book.

    New FEMA Chief
    Paulison Is Skilled at Disasters

    By Spencer S. Hsu and Christopher Lee
    Washington Post Staff Writers
    Tuesday, September 13, 2005; Page A12

    R. David Paulison, appointed yesterday as acting director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has encountered disaster before: three months before Hurricane Andrew laid waste to part of South Florida in 1992, he became chief of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department.

    Brown, Chertoff and Bush were not prepared for this foreseen tragedy, but FEMA’s lack of readiness was predicted. By Witt, it turns out. In March 2004, he testified at a hearing conducted by two House subcommittees.

    …

    In an effort to build other Directorates within DHS that need more help, vital pieces of the Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate–FEMA–are being moved or underfunded to prop up these other very critical areas. Programs–like the very successful Fire Grants–are being moved out of FEMA. And the Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) which provide the backbone to our emergency management systems are being cut and significantly restructured in a very detrimental way. In fact some estimates suggest that the 25-percent cap on personnel costs within the EMPG could result in more than half of the country’s 4,000-plus emergency managers losing their jobs. By throwing all of these disparate pieces together in the DHS stew, we have not only diluted the concentration on some of the most critical parts of our counterterrorism efforts, but we are allowing scarce resources to be directed away from consequence management. Our Nation’s emergency management system has often been held up as an international model; however, this country’s well-oiled emergency management infrastructure–that has been built over many years–is now in great jeopardy as DHS attempts to build capabilities in other areas of the Department.
