Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

“woke” is the new caravan.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

People are complicated. Love is not.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Everybody saw this coming.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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?

    As for the speech itself, Davis said a generic, “masculine” speech was being prepared before the pick was made and, now that Palin is the choice, she is adapting the speech to her own needs and personality.

    What do you think Joe Biden would have said if someone from the Obama campaign had said, “Here’s your acceptance speech, Senator?”

    They cancelled an interview with Larry King? Sweet Jesus, the interviewers don’t get any softer than that.

    Now they’re making the father come to the convention. I feel awful for these two poor kids. Seriously.

    The AP reports: “Bristol Palin’s boyfriend plans to join the family of the Republican vice presidential candidate at the GOP convention. Levi Johnston’s mother said her 18-year-old son left Alaska on Tuesday morning to join the Palin family in St. Paul, Minn.”

    That’s funny, I could have sworn Republicans were demanding that the media leave them alone.

    Is Dan Quayle going to appear at the convention to lecture the media about the evils of portraying a single career mother in a t.v. series and the horrible message that sends to the children?

    Rick Davis, today:

    Rick Davis, campaign manager for John McCain’s presidential bid, insisted that the presidential race will be decided more over personalities than issues during an interview with Post editors this morning.

    “This election is not about issues,” said Davis. “This election is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates.”

    Rick Davis, July 31:

    On July 31, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis sparred with MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell in an exchange about a McCain campaign ad portraying Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a celebrity.

    “I’m happy to talk about more substantive issues the next time I come on your program,” Davis said, capping the testy interview.

    Palin Slashed Funding for Teen Moms

    The streets will be strewn with the bodies of people suffering from irony overdose.

    For Palin, that’s not ironic. That’s actually consistent–she’s all or government getting out of it and letting pregnant sluts suffer the full effects of their sluttitude, unless they have families with enough money and stroke to make their kids get married well before they’re mature enough to do so responsibly.

    Some older woman speaking at the Repub convention was trying to rev the crowd up. She said that Sarah Pawlenty was just the woman for the job!

    That is hilarious in soooo many ways!

    One of the comments there was a bizarre piece of Clintonite alternate universe fan fiction, starring covert undercover GOP op Carly Fiorina “infiltrating Democratic women’s groups,” with the double super secret knowledge of people very very close to Hillary herself!!!

    heh. Good old Larry. Always there to make me laugh.
