Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

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

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

I really should read my own blog.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Everybody saw this coming.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Let there be snark.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

    That actually sounds like it came from my libertarian sister-in-law. No brother-in-law gets respect…

    The Dynamite vest of Diversity has me crying I am laughing so hard.

    Thanks. I made it up because I didn’t want to click the link here at work. Overpaid and underappreciated is a dangerous combination for successful continued employment.

    I’m Sister Taser of Temperance. I will tase you, gently, 17 times while your back is broken because you fell off an overpass, or not at all. Your choice.

    Hate to burst the bubble, but a question – there is a story at Daily Kos:

    Obama is the Anti-Christ post

    It reminded me – I have a friend who I’ve had since high school, who’s political outlook is, shall we say – radically different from mine.

    He’s a person who’s never made a lot of money, and is a Hispanic who lives outside of Orlando. He is very active in a Protestant Hispanic church – there’s been a mini-boomlet of these, in the South recently.

    At any rate, recently, when talking about Obama – he’s been saying similar things – “where did this guy come from??” “who is he??” “you know the Bible talks about the anti-Christ coming like this”, etc.

    It is crazy stuff, but for this to filter down to this small, podunk, protestant church in Florida – where the sermon is given in Spanish – this MUST be more prevalent than I knew, right?

    Of course, all I told him is “he’s Christian, read his books, there is simply NO evidence to ground your fear”, and he listened to me (or pretended to at least.)

    Still – creepy, huh?

    Just remind your friend about the first three and a half GOOD years of the coming tribulation. That’s three and a half more than godboy produced in the last seven years.

    What I find most amusing here is that these people think some human being is going to appear who can magickally make the world unite behind him. Last I looked we bombed the living shit out of one another just for getting a funny look.

    I think I’ll stick with Brother Molotov Cocktail of Discussion.

    Help me out here: if the Antichrist is supposed to be Jewish, then does that mean that Obama is now really a faux Christian / secret Muslim / super secret Jew? Sweet, collect all three.

    Funny enough, he DID vote for John Kerry – although voted for Bush the 1st time. Clinton in 96, and then G.W. Bush in 92.

    He is predisposed to vote for a Democrat – being Hispanic, he loathes the immigration fanatics – so he would have voted for Hillary – but this whole smear campaign has activated his religious paranoia reflex…

    Sounds like a couple minutes alone with Brother Brass Knuckles Of Convenant Eschatology could ease your friend’s concern.

    If I use my full name, including middle name, I’m:

    Brother ICBM of Mindful Non-Dualism.

    Brother Baseball Bat of Tranquility is now sobbing in the corner, in the knowledge that ICBM of [Anything] beats the crap out of Baseball Bat of [Anything].

    Mindful Non-Dualism? That’s the icing on the cake!

    George W Bush –> Brother Flaming Pistol of Reflection

    Then I realized it was a typo. I had typed Biush.

    In actuality,
    George W Bush –> Brother Cudgel of Undeclared Equanimity

    I like the first one a whole lot better. And I suspect most Americans would agree.

    See, many of Bush’s problems can be traced to the “Undeclared” thing. Some Reflection would do him good.
