Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

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

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

This really is a full service blog.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

We still have time to mess this up!

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

Come on, man.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The willow is too close to the house.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Kevin’s Law

This post is in: 

“If you’re forced to rely on random blog commenters to make a point about the prevalence of some form or another of disagreeable behavior, you’ve pretty much made exactly the opposite point.”

Sounds good to me. If I had one quibble I would make it ‘Drum’s Law’ since the semantics of law naming usually call for last names.

We at BJ have a dispensation to defy semantics, because ‘F’s Law’ is too vague and ‘Cole’s Law’ sounds silly.

    “Cole’s Law” sounds tasty, particularly since it’s lunchtime.

    Filthy East-coast centric clocks. I’m just finishing my third cup of coffee.

    Yes, “Kevin’s Law” sounds too much like something the California legislature might have passed to. . .I don’t know; someone cleverer than I should be able to think of something appropriate.

    “F.’s Law” sounds like a foreign euphemism, somehow.

    Yeah, “Kevin’s Law” sounds like a law forced through on emotional appeal, lobbied for by a group of grieving mothers.

    It really came to light with that Lanny Davis piece in the Wall Street Journal. It’s unbelievable that a legitimate news source like the WSJ would allow such shoddy practices even in an op-ed. Accusing a candidate/party of being anti-semetic based on blog comments, not blog postings but blog comments. That’s borderline David Glass material. I highly doubt Davis had the wherewithal or moxie to plant those comments, but what’s to stop him or anyone else from doing that? And for that matter who can clearly know the intent of any blog comment? Would anyone be shocked to find out that supporters of LGF, Malkin, Red State, etc. were planting over the top comments on Kos, Huffington, Atrios, etc. just so they could turn around and point them out as being proof to their points? And of course it’s a two way street, that scenario is just as likely when swapping the sites listed. The WSJ should be ashamed that they let such reprehensible journalism practices appear on their pages.

    No. That would never happen.

    The euphemisms here are getting “suggestive”, I’m just sayin’…

    Why be limited by the word “law”? “Cole’s Commandment” has a nice ring to it. As does “Tim’s Decree”
