Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

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

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Consider this an open thread. Currently I am planning on taking a cocktail of vodka, dramamine, and no-doz to make it through McCain’s speech.

I think we may have the server issues fixed by the end of the day, btw.

LOL. Posted a video instead of the ActBlue thing. ActBlue link should be up now.

    You may wish to move any objects that could possibly be thrown through a television screen to a less accessable location.

    You should put the donation bar thingamajig back up. These past couple weeks motivated me to give my first twenty. And I’m stingy and poor.

    THAT’S NOT CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN

    Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland used the racially-tinged term “uppity” to describe Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Thursday.

    Westmoreland was discussing vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s speech with reporters outside the House chamber and was asked to compare her with Michelle Obama.

    “Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they’re a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they’re uppity,” Westmoreland said.

    Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,” Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.”

    I read they are re-doing the stage so that it has a Town Hall feel… how cozy . Should we count the cheesy smiles that follow each head swivel?

    I’m assuming that Larry Kudlow is currently on the television talking about how the market today is a reaction to the Republican VP Nominee?

    Amirite?

    Huh.

    There is more truth on the right than there is on the left. You can tell this by the controls on thought that can be imposed by the wide range of people operating blogs. The right embraces controversy. The left silences it.

    BOB, what controls on thought are you talking about? Is there any defense? Will a tinfoil hat help?

    P.S. Also, what controversy are you talking about?

    Still smarting over being banned from Political Animal, Bob? I can assure you it wasn’t because Steve was “silencing” controversy.

    He did it because you’re an annoying asshole.

    Just donated $25 plus a $5 tip to act blue.

    Oh, and in regard to your take on the Palin speech, do you know that Blitzer thinks she hit it out of the park? Too bad it went foul.

    Here’s a thought –
    In 2000, George W. Bush was the governor of a border state facing a two-term incumbent. Did the Republicans back then EVER try to claim that Bush had “foreign policy experience” simply because he had been governor of Texas ? I’d bet the answer is “No, none of them said such a silly thing.”

    I don’t remember if they did, but the funny thing is that they would have had a better argument for it. Texas governors have to address illegal immigration and probably get to meet with government officials from Mexico now and again.

    The thing is–they could have a perfectly legitimate argument about her negotiating that pipeline deal with Canada. But they actively choose the ridiculous “staring down the Russians across the Bering Strait” argument since it sounds more belligerent. It’s amazing.

    Well, Sarah convinced me. I just donated on ActBlue. I don’t think I’ve ever been that angry.

    A conservative friend asked me why it didn’t bother me that the Dems mocked McCain and Bush. There’s a difference. We knocked pols running/holding office. They mocked people trying to help the poor. Despicable. And they call themselves Christians.

    Sorry, John. I rang the MUP register last night at bo.com.
    And the night before, and last Friday after the Palin nom. It’s getting to be as bad as downloading pR0n, but in a much better cause.
