Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

“Let’s not pretend [Trump] wants to engage in high-minded discourse.”

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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”.
