Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

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

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Fight them, without becoming them!

We still have time to mess this up!

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Second rate reporter says what?

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.

    It was more like eight minutes in.

    In other news, scientists are not happy with McCain’s planetarium bashing.

    In other other news, I’m voting right now. Absentee ballots FTW.

    Yeah. They were on last night. Even for the Daily Show, which I watch religiously. I haven’t laughed like that in a while.

    That was a brutal segment. McCain used to be a frequent guest on The Daily Show; I’m guessing that those days might be over.

    I really have to wonder if Stewart will hang it up for a while after January simply because there will be fewer easy targets.

    Come on, we’re talking about democrats here. They’ll bring all kinds of teh stupid. It just won’t be jaw droppingly stupid as wingnuts. In any case, we know that wingnuts will provide plenty of entertainment for us over at red state. Erick is probably doing crack just so that he can hold on to the conservative vision of the country that’s slipping from his grasp.

    Conceit much?

    While I am 101% sure that the most important thing to do (perhaps in my whole life) is to thow the current fuckers out, I don’t imagine that the new fuckers won’t even do amusing stuff.

    If the D team can keep it to "plenty of material for the comedians" and steer clear of the torture, spying, gutting the constitution and starting wars just for the shit of it, then it is a win.

    OMG, Thank you John for posting this. The scene with McCain wandering around the stage was just so odd and at least now I know why he was wandering around.

    "Songs in the Key of Hope"

    OMG, that was really funny. Almost makes me want cable again. But how many people realize this is a reference to Stevie Wonder’s "Songs in the Key of Life"?

    I dunno, re: that Newsmax link… I guess it was a tiny bit of a gaffe by Liz Trotta to refer to Palin’s child as ‘it’, but then John Perry leaps from that to hysterics – "OMG LIBERALS HATE BABIES! LIBERALS HATE PALIN BECAUSE SHE BELIEVES IN FAMILY VALUES, GOD, APPLE PIE AND AMERICA!!!!"

    conservatism really is a pathology, isn’t it?

    Cruel Jest

    @r€nato: Pretty much. I saw it as right down the center of the wingnut highway: fauxrage, persecution, and rage. Jesus, they’re blaming black people for the sub-prime disaster! It’s like the war on Christmas and everything else. Liberals: weak and disorganized, except they’re about to take over the world.

    Also.

    I always thought the makers of Snausages should do an ad reworking Naked Eyes "Promises Promises". (A dog singing "you gave me … Snausages Snausages" would be amazing.)

    But now I think they should just hire McCain as their official spokespol after the campaign, a la Viagra & Bob Dole.

    Have you seen this clip? It’s a supporter at a McCain rally who rants about his rage at the socialists who are taking over our government in true psychotic homeless guy fashion, leading to a crowd chanting "USA! USA!" as Senator McCain expresses his approval. Truly disturbing — some of these people have clearly gone around the bend.

    I also got a laugh out of the fact that throughout this 2-minute clip (and presumably throughout the rest of their broadcast day), Fox News keeps a picture of William Ayers up in screen for no discernable reason whatsoever. Just in case we might forget. Batshit insane does not begin to describe these people.

    I’m just surprised a picture of Paris Hilton wasn’t in the other corner. What a fucking sham of a network they are.

    Odd that, inasmuch as it’s a Republican administration that finds it necessary to nationalize large segments of the financial sector.

    One thing I hope is that Fox’s numbers tank after the election. I would love to see that news network die in flames. I don’t mind if the whole network did as well; sweet revenge for canceling firefly. Fuckers.

    Expect their numbers to improve post-election. Nothing motivates the right-wingnuts like a negro Democrat in the White House. About the only thing that will kill Fox News is Hannity coming out of the closet and demanding they honor his contract.

    This only happens because conservatives aren’t allowed into academia.

    What? Haven’t you been listening to David Horowitz?

    Anyone that is a Stevie Wonder fan and has that album (like myself), which I think is quite a few people.

    It was pretty nice on Wednesday, when just about the first thing Chalfie did after getting the Nobel Chemistry prize was use the accompanying press attention to endorse Obama…

    These guys are a bunch of charlatans. Everybody know that the universe is only 6000 years old. Who are you going to listen to – god fearing Americans or a bunch of heathen scientists?

    It was pretty nice on Wednesday, when just about the first thing Chalfie did after getting the Nobel Chemistry prize was use the accompanying press attention to endorse Obama – making the count now 63 Nobelists for Obama and none for McCain, a result even more lopsided than the Economist’s survey of the preferences of economists.

    It’s a fact that educated minds have a well-known liberal bias.

    When you hear McCain on this clip continually use the, "my friends" reference I can’t help but think that it is a polite substitute for "you motherfuckers."

    @MikeL:
    This is even better than that story:

    Why Obama Can’t Close the Deal

    John Zogby’s poll numbers, in my opinion, are the best in the business.

    I don’t know who this guy is, but he’s a laugh riot. He has another article on why McCain won the debate–in short: Obama won too hard, and Americans don’t like people who run up the score!

    My favourite TDS moment is still when Stewart puts on the Darth Vader mask to relate to Dick Cheney.

    Yeah, McCain wondering in the background made for lots of head-shaking in our household. And then that gesture he made with his hand was really weird. Who was he looking at? Brokaw? His wife?

    "The way the Palins have chosen to embrace and love that child may not be the accepted style for the media elites to raise a Down syndrome child — indeed, if they allow the baby to be born alive."

    Mine too– I’m going to go listen to it right now! Instant mood boost…

    The funniest TDS bit ever was a few years back when they did the special report on gay marriage. I just about pee myself laughing whenever I watch it. (If the link doesn’t work, google "homometer.")

    Jon Stewart for Obama’s press secretary! He says it best.
