Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The revolution will be supervised.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

I really should read my own blog.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

We still have time to mess this up!

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

Let there be snark.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

No one could have predicted…

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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.

***Update***

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.
