Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Republicans do not trust women.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

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

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Tick tock motherfuckers!

People are weird.

    John, If misery loves company, then my story may help. About a week ago, a number of key programs on my computer that were in the start menu, just started to fail to load. And now a couple of them have decided to load again at startup. And two others have decided that they really aren’t installed at all, even though they still appear to be there – but when I click on them they try to install but then can’t find certain files. Oh, and one of them (Norton Save and Restore) has scheduled activities that still run, but I can’t load the control panel to run them manually or change settings because, of course, it isn’t installed.

    It would be pretty entertaining if I didn’t need them to work, or if this didn’t make me extremely nervous that my machine is having a mental breakdown.

    So, John, did that help? Does misery love company?

    If it’s internally developed, then you should be able to find the person who wrote it and beat some troubleshooting out of them. If nothing else, it’d be great catharsis.

    Reminds me of the time that MacAfee antivirus decided to snack on Microsoft Exchange.

    Our e-mail server was down all afternoon. It would be amusing if it wasn’t for the fact that my job depends on getting work from e-mail.

    John McCain just announced that his campaign has received a major endorsement!

    The makers of Ambien have agreed to pay him $4.5 million if they can study his campaign speeches in an effort to find a new drug-free way of putting people to sleep.

    Now the empty suit Jon Stewart can release the full 18 minutes of the Daily show interview with Jonah Goldberg.

    Yes, I’m sure D-Po will be vindicated by the missing 18 minutes. Obviously it’s just deceptive editing that makes him look like an utter moron.

    On a similar note, I wonder if John or Tim will ever have the courage to release your unedited comments?

    Since the makers of Ambien make drugs, this joke needs tweaking, methinks.

    He’s actually a flaming liberal edited down to add spice to the threads.

    I think “I am off to ride the exercise bike” may qualify as one of the greatest exit lines of all time.

    I prefer “John Cole, plus four, signing off.”

    You know, I take this back. They could patent John McCain, and then just withhold him from the world, forcing us to rely on drugs. Kind of like the rumors (truth? I dunno) about Gillette holding patents to kick-ass everlasting razors.

    Not to go all O/T on you back into politics, but I’ve never voted in a primary that mattered, and now my (May) primary may matter, and my state has (I was unaware of this until just now) 115 freakin’ delegates. He could come here, right, for 115 delegates? He could give a speech here?

    And no, there is nothing you can do to help, this is internal software

    You really thought we’d help? Reboot, reload, and if that fails, give it the Fonz a few times. Works with the girlfriend.

    I have already spent three hours trying to get a piece of software to work, and I have tried everything and it is STILL KICKING MY ASS.

    Replace “hours” with days, weeks, months and years, and … welcome to my job.

    And you guys wonder why I am in a pissy mood all the fucking time. WELL GET OFF MY BACK.

    Oh, and just to make it more fun, my Blackberry service went on vacation a couple days ago (nationwide outage) and I lost contact with the Big Giant Head that tells me what to do all the frigging time. Extra worry and stress.

    Does the employer provide an alcohol or drug allowance for these things? NO HE DOES NOT.

    Poop, you have a Swedish-made penis?

    I’ve had a Swedish-made erection.

    (Sorry, I had to. In the name of ABBA.)

    Unfortunately, it arrived with a missing frenulum and one extra testicle.

    I guess it was slim pickins for things to work one’s wingnut self into an outrage over this morning because Stalkin’ Malkin is dredging up the old Mohammed cartoon issue again.

    Well, when you got nothing else…

    You must be thinking of the SOP of progressive blogs such as Firedoglake/Pandagon of deleting/not releasing comments that disagree with their narrative.

    Bubblegum Tate Says:

    Old lady of perpetual outrage also mentions that the Muslim lawsuit against Canadian publisher Ezra Levant, who reprinted the Mo cartoons, has been dropped.
    I am guessing that the left will be outraged at this example of someone getting away with “Hate Speech”.

    BTW, Where is the daily show video BT? You said “Stewart, meanwhile, has said that the unedited interview will be released when the strike is resolved.”
