Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

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

Second rate reporter says what?

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

I really should read my own blog.

In my day, never was longer.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

This fight is for everything.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

After roe, women are no longer free.

    I thought Giuliani was always going to win Florida! That enough old Jews retired there from Manhattan to form a voting block! That didn’t pan out, somehow? Who saw that coming?

    Just read polling data that has Old Guy and Mittens in a statistical dead heat followed distantly by Il Douche, Gomer and Crazy Person.

    Those Florida voters are facing a real dilemma: any one of their candidates would make a bad president.

    That said, I’m guessing that Mittens will pull of a narrow victory, McCain will demand a recount, Giuliani will drop out and start lobbying for Secretary of Fear (To be created by the Republican President), Huckabee will stay in but secretly lobby for the Secretary of Religion post and Paul’s supporters will raise four million dollars in twenty-four hours to keep their boy in the race.

    Paul! Revulsion!

    Speaking of which, can anyone explain the cryptic Ron Paul bumpersticker that embeds LOVE written backwards in REVOLUTION?

    What is the message there? The opposite of LOVE is Ron Paul-style libertarianism?

    It just looked good on the blimp that way.

    McCain by 4 points is my call, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Giuliani might actually beat Ron Paul this time — the media will then spin it as Rudy! getting over an important hurdle.

    Uh, saying that the word ‘Evolution’, even when it’s part of another word, is the opposite of Love?

    It’s so obviously intentional (letters facing backwards, LOVE in red) that I figure it *must* be some kind of Paultard dog whistle message – I just can’t figure out what it is.

    then why are the letters E and L written backwards, and only the E-V-O-L are a different color?

    C’mon, it MUST mean something!

    I predict a stunning upset as 90 percent of Florida Republicans get disgusted by their choices and decide to back… ME! A humble hometown boy does some good! ;)

    Uh, ah, because that’s how you spell “I’m in position, proceed with the invasion as planned” in some alien colour-based dialect that only Paul is aware of?

    In all seriousness though, If I’m the MSM (I had that bad dream once) I’m going to get up there tonight and bluster as much as possible about the Democratic primary in Florida, if for no other reason than it makes for better selling news. It will be interesting to see how they spin that. Did Hillary win by a big enough margin? Did the Unity Pony break a leg? Did the Unity Pony actually WIN even though he lost? Will Hillary cold-cock Howard Dean in the face for not letting the voters of Florida be HEARD?? All this and more on our insipid coverage at 8!

    Ewwww, you pay for that??

    All the girls got to drool after Bill. It’s my turn to wear a blue dress, damnit!

    Or it could be that E-V-O-L, written with the E and L reversed, shows you how to position your hands to say “Vote for me, I will heal your ears” in sign-language?

    Who knows MAKATON?

    i thought it was common knowledge that Paul is a die-hard Sonic Youth fan.

    he might look like an old fart doctor now, but back in the day he was all about 80’s noise-rock. i think there’s footage of him body surfing at a F’Lips/Butthole Surfers’ show.

    Who gets Paulie’s blimp when he screws the pooch Tuesday, back outtie the primary Wednesday, and declares Chap 13 Thursday? Can you Ebay a blimp? Is there a site that pimps all failed polly gear, like “DOLE ’96!” t-shirts or “Freddie Boom-Boom (going to) Washington ’08!” bumper stickers?

  27. 27.

    Jen

    The blimp was a rental, covered in banners. Kind of like those magnetic signs you put on cars. I don’t think Chapter 13 is forthcoming, though, I think even after the blimp and the limo he’s in the black.

    We used to have a saying about two really lame people:

    “Now, there’s a pair to draw to.” It was an expression of contempt for the pair, whoever they were.

    Mittney versus McPain?

    There’s a pair to draw to. Two complete phonies and insane persons. Together, you couldn’t make one good president out of them.

    Coulnd’t care less who wins. I just want whoever wins to get a full ass whipping in November.

    Rudy won big in South Carolina and I think the momentum will continue here. 4th place, behind Huck, it doesn’t get bigger than that. He started out in the hole, with those big numbers in the 30’s, but he’s been working OT making sure FL gets to know him. I think it’ll pay off.

    Well, the t-shirts, anyway, get sent to Central America as charity donations. Whilst visiting Guatemala a few years ago I learned, for example, that the Giants won Superbowl 35. Given the dirth of cars, I don’t think they bother sending the bumper stickers.

    My predictions are here.

    Can Satanists swing it to Romney? That’s the wildcard. I think McCain barely wins since he doesn’t worship false idols. If Romney wins, G-d has abandoned America.

    McCrazy will do the best among the most reliable Florida voting bloc – old people from Long Island – and will get a solid win. It was this group that was supporting Rudy because of their New York allegiances, but they’ve switched to their fellow senior citizen in a show of solidarity due to his win in New Hampshire.

    In Florida, it all comes down to the old folks…

    The Moar You Know

    Who will it be? McCain or Mittens?

    Ohhhh! I know this! It’s whichever one is worse, right?

    Hey, I’m beginning to get this Republican thing down!

    Splitting Image

    McCain will be declared the winner and Romney will concede.

    Then Romney will rescind his concession pending recounts in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach, which McCain will block.

    The whole thing will be thrown to the Supreme Court and not be decided until after McCain’s momentum leads him to an impressive win on Super Tuesday, making the whole thing moot.

    Everybody will get so caught up in determining who “won” that nobody will think too closely about who lost, the answer to that being “everybody”.

    The early exit polling is showing that the economy is the most important issue. And those who think the economy is the most important are voting McCain (Mittheads were so Mittens was the economics guy since he won MI by being a pander bear).

    It’s rather funny to watch the RomBots melt down.

    I can’t believe this! I hope Florida is hit with such terrible hurricanes this year that the population is decimated. God save us all from the idiots.

    LOL!
