Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.
We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.
I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.
We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.
Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.
Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.
Tick tock motherfuckers!
Let there be snark.
DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.
Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?
Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.
Human rights are not a matter of opinion!
Good lord, these people are nuts.
Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.
Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?
Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.
They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.
So very ready.
Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…
This fight is for everything.
The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.
It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.
The unpunished coup was a training exercise.
When we show up, we win.

So..
My wife became a U.S. citizen last week. When they went through the Pledge of Allegiance, I couldn’t help think snarky thoughts at the point of “..with liberty and justice and for all” by adding “except for those bastards in Guantanamo and that Jose Padilla, and those random canadian citizens we like to kidnap”.

I have said this very thing, many times.
Everybody in the World
Yada yada yada.

There’s no creativity to Dug Jay’s attacks.

I hemmed and hawed over a proper response to Dug Jay, but I think I’ll just close with “I love you, man”.

Sri – congratulations to your wife.
TZ – It’s often PART of what I say, but I have a real problem with brevity, so I feel compelled to say more.
Sure hope those dratted “dashes” don’t strike-through my comment here.

Nah! Not REALLY! ;)
I’m just yanking your chain.

“Nah! Not REALLY!
I’m just yanking your chain”
Rome – why do think I put it out there? What else can an obsessive-compulsive who always has to get the “last word” in do, anyway? Now you know if I say “yank away” some people will misunderstand…lol…
Oh, OK…”Yank away”.
Rome Again
Only the ones who aren’t paying attention to my own obsessive-compulsive behavior. ;)
If they don’t know the difference, fuck ’em!

Besides, really, they’re eating it up.

I see Liebs wants more war with Eye-ran, wants more domestic spying on Americans, and called Democratic candidates pussies.
Not only is this guy not a Democrat, he’s worse than at least a dozen R’s. I hope the clowns in Connbigword are happy with this shithead they voted for…
Rome Again
Is he really fooling anyone?
Chad N. Freude
Mmm… Himself?

I went to see Obama speak in Minneapolis on friday with my girlfriend.
My advice: Everybody should go hear Obama speak.
Zifnab
See, I’m not really getting the whole Dem debate where they said Hillary won. I’ve heard other people say it, and I’ve heard some of the debate. Maybe I missed the point where Hillary won it. But apparently she out-spoke Obama, which I consider a respectable feat, given that everyone I’ve spoken to who’s heard Obama in person was impressed by him.
Andrew
I like boobs, monkeys, guns, and butter. If only there were a presidential candidate who fully supported these priorities.

Andrew Says:
“I like boobs, monkeys, guns, and butter. If only there were a presidential candidate who fully supported these priorities.”
All at the same time or as distinct and separate activities? Inquiring minds wanna know. And besides, if you don’t require them all at the same time, well, I believe the Republican Party has a whole room full of boobs speaking at their next scheduled candidate’s debate.
demimondian
If the former, Andrew, you’re not going to do better than the current administration.
Punchy
You mean until Hillary. But perhaps that’s too literal.
The Other Steve
Yeah. I don’t know, it’s different between debates and speeches. Especially with so many candidates.
So often at those debates, given the 8 or so candidates, the answer someone gives is “Yeah, what he said”.
The other key, is a difference of style. Obama seems to be far less partisan in his talk. That is, he addresses Democratic issues, but he doesn’t talk about them in such a divisive way. It’s going to be interesting if he can get the nomination this way.

My vote is for separately, but I can imagine that monkeys with guns and buttered boobs would be good combinations too…

Well, to borrow a phrase from the noted philoso-celebutante , Paris Hilton, “That’s HOT!”

If this is true Bush just damned himself even more, if that’s possible.

To riff on Dave Barry:
Monkeys with Guns & Buttered Boobs would be a great name for a rock band.
In other news, people worried the U.S. is too easy on immigrants can take heart.
The service in this place sucks.
