Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

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

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

šŸŽ¶ Those boots were made for mockinā€™ šŸŽµ

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

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Everybody saw this coming.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania. Ā Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Let there be snark.

Letā€™s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

    I totally want to see her ask for a recount. That’s the only thing that could bring this campaign to a more perfect end.

    Someone should put together a time-line of all of this. It’s such a splendid implosion.

    Any other political races in history which match up equivalently? You know, the ones where you stand back in awe at watching the candidate self-destruct so magnificently?

    Does the GOP’s candidate-trolling versus Obama in 2004 count, or does it have to be one specific candidate rather than an entire statewide party organization?

    It’s only schadenfreude if it’s shameful joy. I’m just feeling plain old joy.

    I sometimes suspect that a majority of her campaign contributions are coming from Democrats with a twisted sense of humor.

    That said, I may contribute, myself.

    Don’t forget the extra added goodness that comes from the giddy anticipation of seeing what batshit-insane thing she’s going to try next. It’s like as her plane is going down in flames, she’s out there walking on the wings.

    I don’t feel sorry for Katherine Harris. I really feel sorry for my dad: he’s still campaigning for her, and I’ve tried to explain things to him and still… sigh.

    I just hope I live long enough for the historians to get to the 2000 elections, and Katherine Harris and John “white coller riot” Bolton and the whole fucking mess down there.

    Yeah, maybe I’ll send some money to her, too…:p
