Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

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

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Giving up is unforgivable.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Republicans do not trust women.

    Either ginger tea or cayenne/honey/lemon tea. Just a quarter tsp of cayenne, and for gawds sake, don’t manage to accidently take a big whiff of it up your nose (don’t ask, and yes, it is very painful).

    Both are really comforting when you have a head or chest cold.

    I was over at Yahoo and saw the most popular searches list. Most were topical…Heath Ledger, etc. But one seemed to indicate that some folks are already thinking about their stimulus check: plasma TVs.

    Mine’s going into my expatriation fund. I’d rather watch the ocean from a south of the border beach than a plasma TV.

    My feet are cold, my sinuses are acting up, and the crock pot is not done.

    Yeah, I’m with everybody else. Drink will solve those problems (or make them less worrisome, anyway.)

    Smartwool socks are awesome though. Once you start wearing good wool or synthetic socks, you’ll never want to wear cotton socks again.

    Make a trip to Gander Mountain, REI or an outdoor sports establishment and purchase good wool hiking socks. No more cold feet just warm, comfy and cozy feet. I hike my dogs a lot during the winter and cold feet makes hiking hell.

    My parents were always talking about how cold their feet were during winter here. I got them each a couple of pairs wool hiking socks to wear during the winter. I have two happier warmer campers for parents.

    LOL! Krista knows too. Get the good socks.

    Even given the shit that I was expecting from the right, I actually shouted out “You’re fucking kidding me…” when I saw this one. Some right-wing group have banded together against Clinton under the name Citizens United Not Timid. That’s just ….. wow!

    I get that citron tea from the asian store. Yum. Put hot water, let it steep and if you eat the citron bits they leave a nice glow in your stomach. I use it to stave off any cold/flu that might be coming my way.

    Actually, there is only one treatment that’s been shown in a controlled trial to shorten up the course of a cold … snorting salt water. Mix 1/2 tsp of salt in a cup of warm water and up the old snout with it. Zinc lozenges, echinacea, Air-Borne, garlic, and vitamin C don’t work, but salt water is the bomb and, besides, the price is right. You have to use it at the very start of the cold, though.

    Cold virus reproduces in the posterior nasopharynx and the salt water at the beginning of a cold merely washes the virus out of the area. Gargling doesn’t get the cleansing up high enough. You won’t drown.

    Try looking in the asian stores for something called Dushanda. It’s basically a bunch of herbs and spices that you brew as a tea. Add some honey or a little bit of butter to the tea to make it go down better because the stuff tastes like warmed over pencil shavings. But it works like a charm, especially if you have a nasty cough that goes with the cold.

    I may need to start drinking.

    Just remember to stop before the point Redstate seems to be making sense to you.
