Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The revolution will be supervised.

This fight is for everything.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

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

T R E 4 5 O N

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Petty moves from a petty man.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

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

How stupid are these people?

Who is Obsessed?

by | 22 Comments

This post is in: ,

You all claim I am obsessed with Obama (who, after a week of letting his surrogates smear the Clintons as racist for decidedly non-racist remarks has now seized back his title of uniter and transcender-in-chief), but if you really want to see obsession, check out Hugh. Check out the past day or so at Hugh’s:

John McCain: Open Borders And Closed Rivers
From The Hotline Blogometer: Conservatives Reject McCain
Michigan Crowd Boos John McCain Over His Immigration Proposals
John McCain and the GOP

And on and on and on and on. We are approaching John Cole/Cindy Sheehan levels here.

    Two different kinds of obsession, John. That is one of those things that conservatives do better than liberals–grab hold of a fabricated issue and hold on with pit-bull ferocity until either they or the issue is dead.

    Yes, but Republican divisiveness is delightful, and their candidates are really different from each other. None of them have a unity pony. Whereas our candidates are good, and I don’t like to see the divisiveness, especially on what certainly looks like cooked-up media-circus type nonissues. I’m more of a keep your eye on the brass ring kind of girl myself.

    Wonder what Hewitt thinks of the Great Orange Satan’s push to get Michigan dems to vote for Mitt…

    The difference as I see it is that Hewitt is agenda driven, where as John is merely expressionn irritation. i.e. Hewitt’s a professional, John’s a dilettante.

    John, have you tried a therapeutic look at Slate’s slide show “The Baby Primary”? Shows most of the candidates holding a particular baby. I believe Obama is the only one actually looking at the baby, well maybe Hillary is too, but Obama actually looks like he likes the baby. That should settle it.

    I don’t like kids.

    You know how everyone thought Bob Dole was mean and the person most likely to honestly utter the phrase ‘get off my grass?’ That is me.

    Well, unfortunately for you, no one is throwing the baby…

    You’ll like ’em when you have ’em.

    Didn’t Bob Dole bite the head off one?

    Or if you’re looking for obession with Hillary, check out Andrew Sullivan.

    Everyone’s got to like someone…or dislike as the case may be.

    Take a step back here. I’m sure its not that bad.

    “I don’t like kids.”

    Aw.

    Remember the 1960’s Batman movie with the dehydrate-the-UN plot?

    There’s a 3-part video on YouTube of ‘Little Batman’, a fairly high-production-value remake starring a bunch of 5-year olds.

    Check it out. You’ll probably be amused, at least, if it doesn’t make you like kids.

    Um, John…you’re being a bit unfair in re: the Clinton/Obama thing. Clinton surrogate Andrew Cuomo and “shuck and jive” (sorry, as a black man, I found that one offensive), Bob Johnson’s “something in the neighborhood” comment? There was some foul stuff being spewed on both sides. Just because you don’t like Obama’s packaging doesn’t mean you can completely look the other way when he’s being slimed.

    This is like a marijuana smoker comparing himself to a meth addict.

    You would send us over there? John…what did we ever do to you to deserve that kind of punishment?

    As far as kids, I like ’em if they’re reasonably well-behaved. But I have no patience for smart mouths. My friend’s 10-year old girl already answers her mom with the eye-rolling and the “whatEVER”, and all I can think is that I really would be hard pressed to keep my temper if spoken to that way.

    And the eco-wackos whine that any border lights will endanger certian species and a border fence mights disrupt wildlife migrations BUT FENCES SURE DONT STOP BIRDS THEY JUST FLY RIGHT OVER THOSE FENCES

    Reminds me of when my Nephew was explaining a “D” on his
    Report Card to his Father (my brother, of course)…”Dad, that “D” in Biology is really a “C”.” His father’s reply? “Son, that’s Stupic”.
