Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

All hail the time of the bunny!

The War Against Cheetos

by | 34 Comments

This post is in: 

From the comments today:

These guys are, really, just punk-ass bitches with an inferior complex and a month’s supply of Cheetos and orange-stained keyboards.

This has got to stop. I don’t know what Cheetos did to “teh left,” but Cheetos are being unfairly villainized on a daily basis. The worst offenders, by far, are the vile scum at Sadly, No, who can not go a week without smearing this rather American snack. Here they are two weeks ago:

Hey guys, it’s me. If you hang out in the comments at all, you’ve probably seen me chatting away down there. Well today, I swung by this place, and the back door was standing wide open, and….well, it’s obvious that our most beloved troll, Gary Ruppert, really was here. For one thing, it looks like a Cheetos factory exploded in the place, and for another, the smell….well, the less said about that, the better.

And the folks at the Poorman are no better. Here they are smearing Cheetos with the taint of NRO. You don’t have to go too far to find the hate for Cheetos.

Can’t we all just get along?

    I believe this evolved from the following joke:

    A guy goes to the doctor’s and tells the Doc, “Doc I have a problem, my dick is orange.” The doctor takes a look and sure enough the guys dick is orange. The dr. asks “what is your daily routine?” The guy replies “Well, I come home, grab a bag of cheetos and read a playboy.”

    It’s a class issue. We effete liberals snack on imported French cheese and wine while we blog, and sneer at the working class chumps with their pork rinds, ketchup flavoured chips and cheetos.
    Not that I have anything against the working class, but it bugs me to see people working against their own class interests because they’ve been suckered by right wing demagogues into a frenzy of nationalism and knee-jerk social backlashing.

    That’s why I switched to using Funyuns as a snack-food insult. There’s nothing more French than Funyuns. Except maybe French Onion Sunchips, but those fucking rock.

    Face it, John–your liberal indoctrination will only be complete once your keyboard is filled with the remnants of the new Tomato & Mozzarella Pringles.

    With a bag of Cheetos you possess the glory of your orange thumb tickling your tonsils as you suck long and hard and fully fear free of embarrassing excuses.

    I’m a Pringles man myself. At least I know they’re made out of potatoes, which the Irish consider health food.

    Can anybody honestly say they know what Cheetos are made from?
    That’s what I thought. Case closed.

    Um…I’ll guess – cardboard dissolved by caustic chemicals and then sprayed with maybe a wood preservative, followed by a trip to an Earl Scheib auto painting location to add and bake in the orange coloring.

    But I might be wrong.

    OH…I didn’t know we were talking about the special “Guano-Flavoured” Cheetos. That’s different, of course.

    I think we have those in our vending machine here at work.

    Thanks.

    mmm! that’d go awesome with an ice-cold Chelada!

    I don’t know who came up with that idea at budweiser but I saw those and thought I would be sick. Budweiser tastes bad enough but add CLAMATO TO IT?

    not just any Budweiser, now, it’s Bud Light. you wouldn’t want the taste of beer to overpower the delicate flavor of canned clam squeezins, would you ?

    I like Clamato. Lots.

    Especially with vodka, tabasco and Worcestershire, in a celery salt-rimmed glass.

    Ketchup-flavored chips! Yum! Those are awesome. (I’ll bet they would taste awesome with a 1996 Burgundy Pinot Noir… I’m just saying…)
