Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

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

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

Bark louder, little dog.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Come on, man.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

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

This really is a full service blog.

No one could have predicted…

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Coming in from dialup at home so posting will be sparse. That said, let me extend a purple middle finger to the next former Senator from Pennsylvania. If it wasn’t Social Security it was Terry Schiavo and if it wasn’t theocratic idiocy it was the K street project. We won’t miss you, Rick.

***Update***

At least he gave a gracious concession speech.

***Update 2***

Looks like John got there first. Go comment on his thread while I fetch another beer.

    Life is good.

    And to John, let me formaly say after needling you mercilessly for more than a year, you helped make this happen. It can’t be hard to be this disallusioned by the party you grew up with.

    Hope the future is brighter.

    And to President George W. Bush, fuck you.

    I am hoping it is the first of many gracious speeches from the nutjobs like Santorum. It will be hard for the remnants of my party to claim it was us ‘moderates’ who blew up the GOP when all the nutters like Santorum are rejected.

    Blackwell’s doing the “Kumbaya” routine now that he’s lost. I doubt he’d be saying the same if he won…

    Like I said in the other thread, early nominee for line of the night goes to a Sully emailer:

    Man, Santorum looks like he really needs some meth to throw away.

    I’m about to go from buzzed to hammered with this news of a House majority.

    I’ve been incommunicado with all news all nite. Long story. Now I found out MUTHAFUCKING KANSAS just booted RYUN AND….AND….AND (I cannot stress what a huge upset this is to non-Kansans) Phill Klown.

    Klown is out. Normalcy back to KS. Fucking unreal. Simply stunning. Must drink more. I feel like I just got laid by Nancy Pelosi…is this wrong?

    Jeez, maybe I’m less generous than most but the bit of Santorum’s speech I heard didn’t quite qualify as ‘gracious.’ Saying that the local population is typically opinionated and makes good choices, but not so much tonight? It’s not exactly hate speech and I don’t expect him to be thrilled at the result but to me a good concession expresses personal disappointment, not chiding of the electorate. I didn’t like it in Lieberman and I don’t like it in Santorum.
