Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Not all heroes wear capes.

    John, you’re a liberal now. He’s not the great orange satan, he’s our all-powerful, all-knowing overlord

    You’re right, it is absolutely terrible. But what’s worse is there are people who watch a movie like “The Marine” and actually take the time to LIST GOOFS FROM IT on IMDB. That’s like finding errors in Mr. Nanny! “Ahem, the filmmakers neglect to show that Hulk Hogan has proper nanny training before taking the nanny position.”

    “Ahem, the filmmakers neglect to show that Hulk Hogan has proper nanny training before taking the nanny position.”

    Somewhere, in an alternate universe in which Hulk’s presidential bid succeeded, this is a quote from a hooker sex scandal…

    The Writer’s Guild of America is striking on Monday, so there won’t be any new episodes of the Daily Show or the Colbert Report for a while. If the strike is as long as in 1988, 5 months, then there won’t be much coverage of the primaries.

    This should also have some effect on Bill Maher’s show. No more intro segment and no more New Rules for a while.

    I predict that the republicans take back the House and the Senate and keep the Presidency… ;)

    All hail our all-powerful, all-knowing overlord!

    Is The Marine as bad as Walking Tall with the Rock?

    OT But Fuck Schumer and Swinestein

    John Cole was right. The other Dems were pandering on this. It’s a safe vote against, because there are enough votes to confirm.

    worst but so bad good movie ever.

    “Whiffs”

    With Elliot Gould and the scrumptious Jennifer O’Neil.

    Oh, come on people. The worst movie of all time — because it’s got Clint Eastwood in it and just a dollop of good scenes to keep you watching it — is Heartbreak Ridge. God damn that movie. I must have sat through it seventy times when it was on heavy rotation on Skinemax.

    Heroically blasting a Cuban bulldozer crew? On Grenada? Yumpin Yiminy.

    “Heartbreak Ridge” always reminds me of a Doonesbury comic where they point out there were more medals awarded to the military for the invasion than there were soldiers involved. The punch line: “So it’s sort of like a Special Olympics for the military?”

    The platoon from that flick sure made it seem like it.

    Tonight I finally saw Million Dollar Baby. Wonderful movie, but it’s on my “never watch this one again” list, just like Titanic.

    See that’s what is wonderful about a really bad movie. You can watch it over and over again without ever feeling sad.

    Heartbreak Ridge was actually a pretty good movie. I didn’t think it took itself too seriously, and it offered an interesting criticism on Grenada and the gung-ho attitude of the modern military who has not seen real war.

    You mean using a bulldozer to take out cubans. According to wikipedia, it’s based on a real event. In fact Abizaid(yes that one) was in command of the company.

    And using hte payphone to call in an airstrike, also based on a real event.

    “The Marine” was like an freeway accident that I, too, couldn’t prevent myself from gawking at. I kept thinking that it took some major cajones to make that “film”. It’s on the same level as that MST favorite “Plan 9”.

    Freeway accident is right, but then again, maybe we shouldn’t be expecting much from WWE films…
