Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”
Impressively dumb. Congratulations.
Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.
If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.
Our messy unity will be our strength.
Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.
Human rights are not a matter of opinion!
Fuck these fucking interesting times.
We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.
Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?
Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.
I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.
Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.
They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!
Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?
I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.
The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.
The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.
It’s the corruption, stupid.
I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.
The gop is a fucking disgrace.
Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

As a reader of that excellent blog, I agree.
Dug Jay
Surely, you jest.
He reads pretty much like any number of left wing, deranged moonbats. I assume this post of yours is a form of “apology” to all of your regulars that you offended by initially criticizing the wonderous Ms. Marcotte.
Joey
I actually came across your blog after he linked to you. KFM and Balloon Juice are my two favorite blogs.
The Other Steve
Ok, Kung Fu Monkey just made my read list.
CaseyL
I love KFM. Read it – well, not “all the time,” because Rogers doesn’t update often enough for that, but “pretty damned frequently,” yeah.
Redleg
Dug Jay,
Don’t you have a holy war against Muslims that you need to go fight for dear leader Bush? You better get on it because things ain’t looking so good in Iraq. The Army could really use strapping bad-asses like yourself. I would go myself but I already served my time, back when the US faced a more serious threat- the Soviet Union.

Good call, John. Any time I feel like getting misty eyed, I always go back to this Kung-Fu Monkey post.
Pooh
fwiffo, wow, that’s a fantastic post.
Darrell
Yeah, terrorism isn’t a real threat. The real threat is those {ick} Christian conservatives
Mary
I love KFM, even though I want to poke Rogers with a stick to make him update more frequently. But when he does post, it’s choice. The Crazification Factor (and the other Tyrone conversations) is brilliant.
Tsulagi
Hadn’t come across that blog before. Not bad. In his top post he mentioned Clark/Edwards would be his preferred ticket for 08. Of the current choices, that would be mine too.
matt
I’ve read that story a million times and it never gets old.
lard lad
Darrell, please. Your thread-hijacking game is way, way off today. Back to the drawing board.
ixeian
Yup, Rogers writes one mighty fine blog. Good on you for promoting him, and I’m sure he appreciates you too, IIRC hes linked to pieces of yours a couple of times. It’s unique voices like his that are needed around the blogosphere.
TenguPhule
Shorter Darrell: Dah Comrade! Vat about those Christians, yeah!
dreggas
Yes the talibaptists are as much a threat as the taliban.
Here’s your sign…
BettyPageisaBlonde
I couldn’t agree more.
Richard 23
Did Redleg say anything about terrorism not being a threat? No? But you’re pretty funny as a caricature of a conservative. Well done! You always make me laugh, Double D.
Fledermaus
Jeez, John you could at least link to his index. And yes I heartily concur although this remains my favorite post of his.
The Other Steve
Do you realize that more people are accidentally electrocuted yearly than are killed by terrorism.
Should we go after the power companies too?
Grrr
Noted and promptly bookmarked.
re: “Not Enough People Read” – This morning I was pondering the contrast between our sitting president and a certain promising candidate – one actually *writes* books as well as his own speeches.
Which reminds me…Darrell I’m really looking forward to your latest contribution to the fields of astrophysics and climate study. We need more Rush-trained scientists setting us rubes straight.
Fe E
Well, Kung Fu Monkey just got added to my “read” list.
Thanks for the tip John.
Steve Verdon
Yes, yes, yes. Reading John Rogers, Kung Fu Monkey, is a must, IMO. Very fun even if you don’t agree with all of his points.

KFM=Hi-Larity. That prince/bar story reminds me of the Bill Bradley anecdote (I think it was Chris Matthews that brought it up in his book).
Bradley is at a huge luncheon and needs butter for his roll. He waits for several minutes while observing a server with a huge plate of butter making his way towards him. Eventually Bradley gets up and approaches the waiter.
Initially the waiter tells Bradley to wait his turn. “Do you know who I am? I’m Bill Bradley. I played basketball for the Knicks. I’m a senator from New Jersey, and a candidate for President. I need some butter.”
The waiter replies “Do you know who I am? I’m John Smith, and I’m the guy in charge of the butter. Sit down and wait your turn.”
