Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Republicans in disarray!

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

    I am feeling sick and this is all you get.

    Well that’s just dandy. Some kinda cult leader of moonbat minions you are. What will we do? What will we say? We’ll be like lost children drifting through the blogosphere with bloodsucking wingnuts ready to feast on our lost leaderless souls.

    Oh well, I think I’ll have a cheeseburger and watch the Browns lose big.

    I had no idea this shit was going on in Colorado and Wyoming but it seems like accelerated gas and oil drilling. The area are all republicans and they’ve started to get sick of it.

    Pretty freaky, I had no idea that tehy were ruining landscapes over there. That’s gotta hurt.

    Steely McBeam is one handsome hunk of manly manliness.

    Careful–too many more outbursts like that and the GOP will nominate him for president (take a hike, Freddie!).

    The Browns beat the Bengals? The fuck?

    I’m helping my ex pick the games for her office pool. I don’t think I did all that well this week. Yeesh–and I’m supposed to be her ringer!

    Hey, TZ! Do you think “The next wining streak starts today”?

    Well, we have a streak of One Win going, now.

    If you’re a Cardinals fan, that’s exciting.

    Yee haw, etc.

    Wyoming has been torn to shit the last ten years and the cattle men farmers and ranchers are pissed. The BLM has been told by the higher ups to just not enforce the laws anymore.

    That’s what they voted for, and now they’ve decided they don’t like it? What flip-floppers.

    I kept thinking I was watching a college game. Then I thought I had the color all screwed up on the telly. Had to keep reminding myself it was the Steelers. Couldn’t recognize them at all with those god-awful piss yellow lids.

    Looks like ManPurse McBeam is spreading his rampant homosexuality to all corners of the team.

    Boy, if this is:

    1) true (it is)
    2) not reversed (it will be)
    3) enforceable (it’s not)

    that’s a huge, huge blow. These clowns do a lot for the semi-important people. I foresee Maliki going back on this in…oh….4 hours.

    And I had no idea they had what seems like complete immunity from prosecution. Wow. No wonder they’re so brazen.

    No point in having guns, if the land has been destroyed of wildlife.

    My great uncle lived near Colorado Springs. He had a natural gas mine on his land. But I don’t recall it having had a tremendous impact to the land. Just a 40’x40′ section of land that had been fenced off for the mine. He was paid a yearly rent for the land, plus a percentage of the gas that was extracted.

    I love Colorado, and really hope they don’t destroy the wilderness there. It’s very beautiful.

    Welcome to the nation of bedwetters, where we are afraid of chalk, and now toilet paper dust.

    TP has dust? WTF is that? Anyone understand this?

    Seriously?

    Hard to say. Toriegraph is the opposition newspaper in Britain. They may just be scare-mongering a bit to hit the new Gordon Brown.

    We’ll have to wait and see a bit. Congress should pass a resolution demanding the President receive war authorization before attacking any more countries.

    Congress should pass a resolution demanding the President receive war authorization before attacking any more countries.

    1) That’s already in The Constitution.

    2) They tried that re: Iran and failed to pass it.

    2) a. How sad is that?

    DeFazio has attempted several times over the course of the past two years to pass legislation that would reassert Congress’ constitutional war-making powers.

    In a statement of administration policy released Wednesday, the White House threatened to veto the 2008 defense authorization bill if it contained “provisions that would prevent the president from protecting America and allied and cooperating nations from threats posed by Iran.”

    I’d like to see a few more bills or amendments like that, and then see if they pass or not. How about a bill that prevents the President from imprisoning or torturing any more Americans indefinitely without trial or legal counsel? Or from flying them to another country and imprisoning them there?

    Or I could move. How’s Canada this time of year…

    TP has dust? WTF is that? Anyone understand this?

    That would probably be the little bits of paper along the sheet perforations…it sometimes shreds off when a sheet is torn off the roll to wipe one’s ass or wipe semen off your shoes or wherever it might have happened to relocate after it leaves one’s gland.

    It does too. Go into a bathroom on a sunny day, when the light’s streaming in the window. Grab some toilet paper fromt the roll and crumple it up. You’ll see a ton of little dust motes.

    (Note, this isn’t something that I actually set out to observe, but my mom’s upstairs bathroom window faces south, and I’ve spent a lot of time in that house during my life.)
