Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Bark louder, little dog.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Not all heroes wear capes.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

You cannot shame the shameless.

After roe, women are no longer free.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Republicans in disarray!

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

This week must be the week all electronics in my household die. First the laptop, now my DVD player went tits up. The back-up isn’t progressive scan.

Grrr.

BTW- Is this a Zappa reference, or did this phrase appear somewhere else, first:

THANKS, GUYS! Army of Davids is now up to #78 on Amazon, which isn’t bad for a book that doesn’t come out for over a month. Keep those pre-orders coming; they’re much appreciated!

UPDATE: #66! With a bullet!

Just curious.

    What’s going on today? Is Pajamas Media starting a new viral ad campaign for power conditioners or something?

    I believe that Billboard charts indicate quickly rising or new singles with a bullet point. To be “number one with a bullet” means you either debuted at number one or got there very quickly, indicating a huge success.

    rising up the charts. I think it predates Zappa

    Yeah. This question is asked with some regularity, I guess. Zappa didn’t have to worry about that much, but Volman and Kaylan did, I think, in The Turtles.

    “With a bullet” means “increasing rapidly.”

    On a record “hit” chart, which is actually a sales chart, a bullet indicates rapidly increasing sales.

    “Number three with a bullet” indicates that the item is probably going to move up the chart quickly.

    The “bullet” was a bullet-shaped symbol used on the chart to indicate the items that were rising rapidly.

    Yes, I’d say it predated Frank Zappa.

    The “rapidly rising” reference is from Webster’s New World College Dictionary (“bullet”, 5)

    “First the laptop, now my DVD player went tits up.”

    Curiously, my DVD player also died, for no visible reason, three days ago, with a Battlestar Galactica disk in it. It was 55 weeks old.

    :-(

    I do have a backup in the computer, which I live in terror of a problem with, because I couldn’t possibly afford to fix it if one developed. And the idea of going back to the Pentium I backup with the 33k modem (instead of the speedy 49k I’m limited to in the modern one) is horrific.
