Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.
The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.
When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson
Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.
If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.
Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.
There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.
To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.
Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?
If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.
He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.
One way or another, he’s a liar.
“woke” is the new caravan.
The lights are all blinking red.
Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!
Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.
The gop is a fucking disgrace.
Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.
One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.
The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.
You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.
It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.
Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.
There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

That Ann, she’s so smart, I bet she wears a double layer tin foil hat adorned with the finest of wine labels.

I actually heard this from some comments over at some feminist blogs yesterday.
I just never expected to see it in a major column.
Oh, well.
Punchy
You could use a printout of her article to make a hat, or a brooche, or a tyradactyl flying…

I like how Althouse says, “Suddenly, this inflammatory New Yorker cover appears…” Because we all know that magazine covers are created, printed, assembled with the magazine, bundled, packaged and shipped all by magical fairies who can do it in a day’s work. The Bernie Mac event was on Friday night. When did that New Yorker hit the newsstands again?
She is really a very stupid woman, isn’t she?

When was I shunted into the bizarro universe and how can I get back?

I dont mean to cast aspersions, but…
Ann Althouse, Law Professor: Fucking dumb.
Instapundit, Law Professor: Fucking dumb.
I sense a pattern.
Eugene Volokh and Radley Balko must feel electric shocks throughout their testicles everytime those two touch a keyboard.

Isn’t this the same Ann Althouse that thought onion rings were a metaphor for vaginae?
Dork
I wonder if Althouse has ever been to a Turkish prison, or seen a grown man naked.

That’s how it was at every magazine I’ve ever worked at. We could bang out the whole thing in a day…we just stretched it out to take a month so that we could mooch some more paychecks. Layouts? Ad budgets? Editorial changes? Proof shipping? They each take, like, 5 minutes, tops.

It’s an election year, will there ever be a good time to stop sniffing glue before January?
The Moar You Know
You know what they say – quitters never win.

me no understandy title. me feel stupids.

Shirley, you must be joking.

Brad forgot to mention my favorite conspiracy: The Earth was created 1,000 years after the Sumerians invented ink. But, alas, he did get the three that are always good for a chuckle.
I’m down to reading the Atlantic Monthly crew, AmConMag (mostly Larison since he moved his blog), selected GOS, TPM, Balloon Juice, and the Carpetbagger Report for political blog stuff. The NYT, WaPo, and the WSJ are my only mainstream sources. The rest of them should have their nuts cut out. Oops. For some reason I channeled Jesse Jackson. Must have been an acid flashback.

It’s an allusion to the movie Airplane. In the opening credits, two announcers are on the airport’s P.A. system arguing about whether you use the White Zone or the Red Zone for loading and unloading. Mr. Cole is using that title because the “wrong week to start sniffing glue” line is also a reference to Airplane.
RSA
Not to mention former law professor Obama. . .
Brachiator
Amended.
David Hunt
Ugh,
That should have been “wrong week to stop sniffing glue.”
Sorry. I guess I picked the wrong week to quit taking amphetamines.

Reminder, more important than not falling off the wagon is making sure you get back on.
What’s that old saying about those who can’t do… ?
But seriously, if you ever have to ask why lawyers are such humongous assholes, I think its worth noting how far the apple can fall from the tree. Just check where they went to college.
mapaghimagsik
I speak jive.
Stooleo
Wait!, even more stupid.
Democrats cause 9/11!
J.A.F. Rusty Shackleford
Surely, you can’t be serious.
Chris Johnson
Oh my GOD, I have got to get a copy of Airplane again…
J. Michael Neal
C’mon, we all know that Obama can’t really claim to have been on the faculty.

An interesting point made about the puppet king, bushwhack:
… last point in his Sunday New York Times opinion column: “In [Mayer’s] telling, a major incentive for Mr. Cheney’s descent into the dark side was to cover up for the Bush White House’s failure to heed the Qaeda threat in 2001. Jack Cloonan, a special agent for the F.B.I.’s Osama bin Laden unit until 2002, told Ms. Mayer that Sept. 11 was ‘all preventable.’ By March 2000, according to the C.I.A.’s inspector general, ’50 or 60 individuals’ in the agency knew that two Al Qaeda suspects — soon to be hijackers — were in America. But there was no urgency at the top. Thomas Pickard, the acting F.B.I. director in the summer of 2001, told Ms. Mayer that when he expressed his fears about the Qaeda threat to Mr. Ashcroft, the attorney general snapped, ‘I don’t want to hear about that anymore!'”
The smoking gun! So, it appears that the truth is, they could have stopped 9/11 … I always felt that people who clamined this had gone too far. A dumbass’s take time to learn.
So Bushwhack, bloody hands cheney and their dumbass helpers are traders, war criminals and the worst criminals of all – mass murders.

I think of Ann as a modern-day Judith Hearne of the Intertubez. So lonely, she makes a big deal out of blogging from coffee shops and searches the tubes for mere mention of her name and makes posts about it.
Joshua Norton
Puleeze. She’s still crowing about decoding Hillary’s secret racist message hidden in some kid’s pajamas. I cannot possibly imagine who would have ever hired her sorry ass as a lawyer. Her grasp of jurisprudence seems tentative at best.
Notorious P.A.T.
Well duh. Adding up the lifespans of various people who lived for 200 or 300 years proves this to be true.
Brachiator
Hell, her grasp of reality seems tentative at best.
It was a rough place – the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It’s worse than Detroit.
Just Some Fuckhead
One minute yer drubk vloggin’, the next minute it’s three days later and some shit happened somewhere.
Incertus
Wait till Ann hears about Obama talking nice about Muslims. Her head may explode.
Zifnab
I would hire her. I could enjoy the comic relief of watching that woman completely butcher a legal case, then demand a retrial based on an incompetent defense.
Win-Win.
Incertus
And maybe even sue her for legal malfeasance. Win-win-win.
Marc
Don’t knock it. It’s tough to cut a wine label out of a box.
J.A.F. Rusty Shackleford
OT: Anybody watch Hardball tonight? Is it just me or does Mark Green absolutely rock? Green is a Democrat through and through and he knows his shit. Everytime I see him he hits it out of the park.
Genine
**gasp!** I thought that was suppose to be a secret!
Gregory
Fixed.
