Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Second rate reporter says what?

This blog will pay for itself.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

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

Infrastructure week. at last.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

The willow is too close to the house.

Let there be snark.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

    John, Pete and I co-wrote that, and I am so pleased you picked it up. (I post there as “Hypatia,” and it is sort of silly since most know who I am, but I maintain it cuz that’s how I started there in comments.)

    The link to our first post on the drug war and prison is screwed up and won’t get you there, it is this.

    Pete Guither knows everything under the sun about what is effed up about drug policy. Please follow the links to his blog.

    Please allow me to add to your database on this critically important issue. The most significant and under-addressed issue in the drug war is the fact that the government knows that it is “creating chaos and instability” in the world as a by-product of the drug war.

    “creating chaos and instability”

    I’v been writing extensively on this for the past couple of weeks. the latest is: Arianna drug war is “creating chaos and instability”

    It includes the FACT that the 2006 National Drug threat Assessment of the Justice Department actually describes how they expect their success in interdiction in Colombia will result in the Colombians joining forces with the southwest Asian heroin gangs. The FARC and AlQaida driven together by U.S. interdiction.

    What we need is an immediate armistice in the drug war until the government can develop interdiction strategies that are not “creating chaos and instability”

    I thought Drugs already won the Drug War. I think it was around the time Pablo Escobar was killed….

    Sado-moralists are people who really have a need or excessive desire to see people punished for doing what they believe to be morally “wrong.” These people aren’t interested in harm-reduction or whether their laws even work. They just get off on the punishment. Sado-moralists would rather see people get AIDS than provide condoms or clean needles.

    I liked this comment by Peter Guither. Did it originate with him? I’m going to have to start quoting him on this.
