Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

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

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

People are complicated. Love is not.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

GOS*:

Here we have evidence that the issue wasn’t a killer — traditional Democratic issues trumped immigration — while Republican demonization of those scary brown people will kill their long-term electoral prospects by alienating key, fast-growing, immigrant communities.

In other words, while the issue is a certain long-term loser, it doesn’t even have short term benefits for the GOP.

Huh. If immigration proves to be a loser, healthcare is poison and Iraq is radioactive, what do yo suppose they will run on?

Other than Osama Bin Hitlery I mean.

    Wow! If the terrorists make all the straight people marry a homosexual, I don’t think there will be enough gays and lesbians to go around, unless of course we get multiple wives/husbands. Which means the terrorists want gay polygamy/polyandry! Yea! I’ll do my part… let’s see… I could start by marrying Jodie Foster, Julia Stiles, Jessica Alba, Kiera Knightley, and go from there!

    My theory – call me out if you disagree.

    The name, concept and dynasty Clinton has the same vibes for the right as the equivalents of Reagan has for the left.

    We are talking juju so bad it kills cockroaches. We are talking a sense of “wrongness” one usually only feels when watching that scene where Cartman eats the skin off of everyone’s KFC.

    It is in both cases a mix of the substantial and the ephemeral that goes straight for the limbic system, and it is a trigger for utmost antagonism that can inspire a right-wing tsunami of cooperation and information-hijacking, despite disagreements within the pack.

    Um, you know, folks — now that Robertson is endorsing Giuliani, I’m thinking that the theme will indeed be “9/11 — GAYS (caused it) — 9/11 — GAY MARRIAGE (caused it)”.

    Her husband, and the penis attached thereto. Beyond that, what else do they need?

    “All your sphincter are belong to us,” bin Laden says in new tape.

    I hear they released that with music done by Nine Inch Beards, it was a riff on Nine Inch Nails “Closer” with the signature lyric being “I wanna fuck you like an Infidel”.

    Ooooh! Oooooh! I know! I know!

    They’ll mention Reagan in every single campaign speech. From now until 11/2008, expect to hear “Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan.”

    And some more stuff about Reagan.

    Ya know, back in the day, when Rudy was mayor (and I still lived in NY) I remember the righties from the south and Midwest gettin’ all tweaked about Jew York City and Rudy Jew-liani. I guess 9/11 changed everything.

    This is why I love being a dem. My principles may shift but I stand for all of them, not just pick and choose.

    That is not to say I stick to the stupidity that was the idea of “Jew York City” etc. I just remember hearing it called that.

    I prefer to say “I have the principles of a strong Democrat. Any that are convenient this week.”

    Dreggas,

    So the tarrists want Mitt … I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me that K-Lo and Osama would have this in common.

    grumpy realist

    No one, but *no one* thinks more about “homersekshual butt secks” than a fundamentalist.

    Heck, I don’t think the most flamboyant gay drag queen living in bathhouses in SF thinks about it as much as the fundies do.

    Projection much?
