Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

This fight is for everything.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

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

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

We still have time to mess this up!

The revolution will be supervised.

In my day, never was longer.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

So many bastards, so little time.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

    I bet he got canned cause he was supposed to be taking pictures of hippos.

    Breach of contract, pure and simple.

    “It just doesn’t make sense. The meat you get out of a crocodile is just not worth the risk it takes a predator to acquire.”

    Sounds like that was one damn hungry leopard.

    Wonder how thin on the ground other game must be (or just how fierce is the competition)?

    Two cool animals going at it. In the end, I found myself rooting for the leopard, because two of my cats were watching me read the story, and it might have been unhealthy to do otherwise. Still, you have to admire crocodiles for telling evolution to fuck off.

    In the past, there have been reports of crocodiles killing leopards, but this is believed to the first time that the reverse scenario has been observed.

    The part that really amazes me was what happened before anyone started snapping photos. I could almost see this happening if the leopard caught the croc out on dry land, but this one, apparently, went into the water to start the fight. He gave up home field advantage, and still won.

    Next week, he plans to take on a great white shark.

    Leopards know crocs. They eat ’em up raw.
    I like mine deep fried.

    Wasn’t it my leopard friends that invented the saying, “What a croc!” ?
    Kinda like the way they talk about McCain…

    A deliberate omission on my part, I assure you.

    No guys, you have it all wrong. The spider was tweaked off at the crocodile for not letting him drink from the water hole. To get back he tricked the leopard into thinking that the crocodile was developing weapons of mass destruction. The leopard is gonna be pissed when he doesn’t find any sarin gas in there.

    This reminds me of that Simpson’s scene where they go see the guy jump over a pool of sharks, electric eels, pirahnas, a croc, and a lion thrown in for good measure. The guy falls in the water, swims the length of the pool and is about to get out when the lion jumps up out of the water and grabs him.

    Not a particularily large croc. Looking at the pictures, I would say the leopard (a male, it looked like) weighed as much as the croc.

    Tremendous pictures, but I bet this happens to smaller crocs more than the rangers think.
