Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

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

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

The lights are all blinking red.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

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

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

    On the one hand, this guy pisses me off.

    On the other … I think he’s a prick.

    A harmless one with just one “head” (sorry) in his collection – Dan “Don’t make fun of my last name damn it” Gurley – but still a prick.

    No, I can’t explain it.

    Dammit, where the hell is Miss Lulu? She had a steamboat I heard.

    She’s missing, should someone go find her?

    You know, Tim, John, you should invite some of the little RedState boys over. To get that brilliant POV that only “special” operators within the fighting 28%er Short Bus Brigades can provide. It’s been missing lately.

    Darrel may have succumbed to the terrorists, but I’m sure General Short Pants over at RS could ably fill in seeing this in one of current posts…

    It used to be that the Democrats just called our troops Nazis on the floor on the Senate.

    …So, let me get this straight. After spending two years attacking our troops as nazis, monsters, and human rights violators,…stroke, stroke, stroke.

    While there can be only one Darrel, you need another village idiot.

    Mr. Wizard (Don Herbert) died. I’d get up really early to watch Crusader Rabbit and Beany and Cecil before he came on to teach us all the cool shit we never learned in school. I made my little kid a volcano using vinegar and baking soda just like he did and all her friends sat in wonder. RIP.

    Go Cavs!

    I hope they can muster up more performance from last game’s 4th quarter to give a home court win tonight.

    Wish me luck, boys. I’m getting season 2 disc 1 of the Wire tomorrow. I assume it will be the best thing ever because I don’t think I could live with the disappointment of anything less.

    So, what about that Paris Hilton?

    I’m starting to think the jokes about her running for President might be prophecies. House Matey informs me she is now saying her jail sentence is a message from God.

    Watch for a ghost written waste of trees book in the far-too-near future.

    War Takes Up Less Time on Fox News

    “If Fox’s audience is dominated by Republicans who are disgusted about hearing bad news on Iraq, it would stand to reason that you’d want to feed them less of it. Bill O’Reilly touched upon that idea on the air one night last December, telling viewers that the lowest-rated segment of his show the previous night was when Iraq was discussed. Ratings jumped at talk about Britney Spears, he said.

    The danger is whether those concerns eat away at journalistic credibility.

    They’re a news network, said CNN’s Klein, ”so it is surprising that they’re not covering the biggest story in the country and the world.”

    The Project for Excellence in Journalism steered clear of questions about what its findings proved. ”We just wanted to tell people that it does make a difference where you go for the news,” said the group’s Mark Jurkowitz.

    So with less on-air attention being paid to Iraq during the first few months of the year, what filled the void for Fox? PEJ’s report said the network gave the death of Anna Nicole Smith significantly more air time than its rivals.”

    Why doesn’t FOX News fill the gap in their war coverage with all the good news coming out of Iraq? They have that niche all to themselves because the BDS afflicted islamocommuabortofemifascists in the MSM would never show anything good that the Bush Administration does.

    So, what about that Paris Hilton?

    They said on the radio yesterday, that in response to a $500K bounty by Enquirer for a pic of PH in her pokie PJs, some chick inmate managed to cooch a cell phone (ouch?) past the guards and fire off two pics of her before her phone was….uh…snatched. Here’s betting the phone was left on vibrate.

    Sounds like a fun prison to me.

    Wrong.

    ‘’so it is surprising that they’re not covering the biggest story in the country and the world.’’

    Wrong again. Next I suppose you’ll be telling me that CNN is a ‘news network‘ too?
