Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

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

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Usually wrong but never in doubt

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Books are my comfort food!

Celebrate the fucking wins.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

How stupid are these people?

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

The lights are all blinking red.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Head over to ObWings and do what Katherine says. I don’t know whether Specter is trying to weasel out of his shiny new verb but regardless this seems like a positive development.

Back when the awful Specter bill first came out I called his office in Pittsburgh and asked him to stop being such a tool. Mostly I did it because as a constituent it seemed like Specter has a right to know when he pisses me off, not because it would make any difference.

Looks like he listened to me, at least a little bit. Guess I should call more often.

As long as I am exercising my authoritah, go do what Josh says also. Even if they black-marker every word other than if, and and but I want to see that NIE for myself.

    Man. Sometimes I wish we had audio commentary. My impression of Cartman’s “I am a cop, and you will respect mah authoritah!” is not to be missed.

    Oh well.

    The pressures that the conflict in Iraq is putting on the Army are apparent amid the towering pine trees of southeast Georgia, where the Third Infantry Division is preparing for the likelihood that it will go back to Iraq for a third tour.

    Col. Tom James, who commands the division’s Second Brigade, acknowledged that his unit’s equipment levels had fallen so low that it now had no tanks or other armored vehicles to use in training and that his soldiers were rated as largely untrained in attack and defense.

    For this alone the Republicans should be driven from power.

    Spend the next six weeks on issues like this rather than Guantanamo and we might just have the goods this time. Make them explain where the money went and why we aren’t ready for this war, or the one over the horizon.

    Normally, armored units preparing for Iraq are sent to Fort Irwin, Calif., for such training, but transporting a brigade’s worth of equipment and soldiers there takes a month, which the schedule would not permit.

    So the trainers and Arabic-speaking role players, who will simulate conditions the unit is likely to encounter in Iraq, were brought here to conduct the three-week exercise in a Georgia pine forest, rather than in the California desert.

    My God, what a disgrace.

    Egad.

    It sounds like Mel Gibson is right. Human sacrifice is probably not the best way to describe this — might as well just call this murder.
