Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

Let’s finish the job.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

This blog will pay for itself.

In my day, never was longer.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Everybody saw this coming.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

The revolution will be supervised.

We still have time to mess this up!

This really is a full service blog.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

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

Kevin’s Law

“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”
