Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

After roe, women are no longer free.

The willow is too close to the house.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Infrastructure week. at last.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Who is driving the Bush fiscal policy:

In an era when conservative Christians enjoy access and influence throughout the federal government, the organization that fueled their rise has fallen on hard times.

The once-mighty Christian Coalition, founded 17 years ago by the Rev. Pat Robertson as the political fundraising and lobbying engine of the Christian right, is more than $2 million in debt, beset by creditors’ lawsuits and struggling to hold on to some of its state chapters.

In March, one of its most effective chapters, the Christian Coalition of Iowa, cut ties with the national organization and reincorporated itself as the Iowa Christian Alliance, saying it “found it impossible to continue to carry a name that in any way associated us with this national organization.”

“The credibility is just not there like it once was,” said Stephen L. Scheffler, president of the Iowa affiliate since 2000. “The budget has shrunk from $26 million to $1 million. There’s a trail of debt. . . . We believe, our board believes, any Christian organization has an obligation to pay its debts in a timely fashion.”

Alright. I will fess up. That was a cheap shot. But it was fun.

    Looks like they’ve gotta step up their efforts to shake down little old ladies. C’mon, granny, that faith healing ain’t free!

    You know, makes you wonder where all that money went in the first place…

    Don’t you watch South Park? Pat Robertson built a spaceship in order to bring Christianity to aliens.

    Maybe the 700 club just stopped getting those big commerical contracts after Robertson put out one too many hypothetical hits on political opponents. I can understand how a preacher with one eye in the sniper scope could lose sight of being marketable to his investors.

    We believe, our board believes, any Christian organization has an obligation to pay its debts in a timely fashion.”

    So it is OK for local chapters to secede, leaving all the debt at the national level?

    I would think the Christian thing to do would be to pay their pro-rata share to all the creditors on the way out, no?

    Maybe even some of the more effervescent Christians got a bit put off by all the “gawd hit Flawduh cuz of Day Day at Disney World” prattling.

    Wait, I thought Pat Robertson could reverse the course of deficits with the power of his prayer?

    Does that only apply to hurricanes?
