Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

This fight is for everything.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

British Still Waiting For Reciprocity

This post is in: 

Tony Blair makes one last run at the football . Having whiffed every time so far, this may be the British PM’s last chance for even the tiniest American concession to justify his unwavering loyalty over Iraq. If and when he fails that poodle image will find itself indelibly etched on Blair’s gravestone.

For context, see my posts here and here.

    Reuters is reporting this morn that Bush will give Blair the finger one more time over this.

    We really are “led” by a petchulant 4th grader.

    Hell hath no fury like a well-bred poodle that gets an electric toothbrush rammed up… oops! I’m getting confused with the Scooter Libby and torture threads. Maybe Tony will bite back.

    Tony really is in LaLa Land. I can’t figure out if I should be embarrassed for the Brits or just hostile to them for their enablement.

    Perhaps GW is holding out for a Knighthood?

    Tony Blair will make a final appeal to George Bush to repay his loyal support over Iraq by signing up to a firm global target to cut carbon emissions at the G8 summit in Germany starting today.

    Boy Wonder must be thinking of some other George Bush. With this Bush the reward for loyalty is knowing you’ve been loyal even as the ship goes down and the flames rise up. And a shiny medal.

    Thank you for playing “Who wants to be a lap dog to an idiot?” Prime Minister. Please collect the few remaining scraps of your dignity on the way out.

    Yes, we really are. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

    QQ – you DID just say that?

    Yeah, just ask Scooter Libby!

    Well, I don’t understand all the commotion…Y’all are SUPPOSED to fall on your sword for the KING. In fact, I just checked, you’re also supposed to fall on HIS sword if that’s what he needs to keep his diapers fresh.

    It’s less taking a run at the football Charlie Brown style, and more battered wife syndrome.

    Not possible. Cheney went through his pockets before he was allowed to leave.

    Sorry, no can do. Tony Blair’s gravestone is going to have one single word on it:

    ARF!

    Bush’s Poodle just found out what the First Dog Barney did — that Dear Leader has no problem with dropping his dogs like rocks… and in Blair’s case, he doesn’t even get to look at cute softball chicks while being dropped. Poor poodle!

    Why does this mental image fill me with the urge to wash my hands?

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Tony Blair doesn’t deserve a shred of sympathy. He sold British foreign policy to the Bush Regime for the same reason that he sold peerages to his big money friends and crippled the Labour Party as a progressive force.

    Personal profit in the form of post-Premiership lecture tours and cushy directorships.

    That’s the beginning, middle and end of his story.

    That’s a GOOD sign, Jake. It means you couldn’t possibly work for this spoiled, petulant schmuck. Mr. “Bring ’em on”, who will fight this War to YOUR(or somebody like you – it really doesn’t matter if it’s actually you, ya’ know) last ounce of blood.

    The sooner EVERYONE washes their hands of this prick the better off the whole world will be.

    Tony Blair though, he’s gonna have to do some heavy duty scrubbing…probably on his tongue & lips, too

    Oh, and that “water” that Rush Limbaugh thought he was carrying for Dubyah? Uh-huh…you guessed it…
