Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Let there be snark.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Infrastructure week. at last.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

    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.
