Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

We will not go back.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

How stupid are these people?

American history and black history cannot be separated.

He really is that stupid.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Books are my comfort food!

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

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

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

    Since when did Krugman’s blog become the snarkiest thing on the internets? I mean, "All Your Bailout Are Belong To Me" and now brilliant M.P. take-offs?

    I guess that the New Great Depression (GDII?) has really gotten to him. We’ll have to really worry about the economy when he starts rickrolling us.

    Someone needs to tell McCain to shut the fuck up, before someone gets killed.

    Audience member: Will you assure us that as president you will take immediate action to investigate, prosecute and name the names of the people actually responsible?

    McCain: I will. And it is already a matter of record that members, Democrat members of Congress fought against reform and it is a matter of record and hearings that they said everything was fine. Senator Obama a year ago said that these kinds of subprime loans are, quote, fine with him. And the fact is that the same people that are now claiming credit for this rescue are the same ones that were willing co-conspirators in causing this problem that it is. And you know their names. And you will know more of their names. Congressman Barney Frank and Senator Chris Dodd are two of them.

    @4tehlulz:

    The ‘thugs are already rewriting the cause of this financial crisis: "mandated" loans to people who were bad credit risks, defaults on mortgage loans by welfare queens who eviscerated the global economy because of entitlements. We need people in front of the media now to explain in clear terms that the problem isn’t home loans to the poor, the problem is a combination of speculation in the housing markets, predatory lending and a quasi-Ponzi scheme of totally unregulated mortgage derivatives that led to ridiculously overleveraged financial markets. Allowing the ‘thugs their narrative will make reform and re-regulation all that much more difficult. Already we’re hearing things like: "The problem isn’t free market capitalism, the problem is that the Democrats perverted the free market."

    The Dems need to break out the comfy chair and the Sternly Worded Letter(tm).
