Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We still have time to mess this up!

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

People are complicated. Love is not.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

    There is nothing so small or insignificant that these losers can not get outraged and worked up about all while assigning evil motives to someone.

    …well yeah, that’s sort of thier ecological niche, isn’t it?

    When you think of it, a holiday that commemorates a genocide started by a man who was racist and Catholic, it should be Christmas for the NRO crowd and Lopez in particular.

    I can understand why she’s upset, especially since Paddington Bear is a baby killing abortionist. He keeps his tools in that brown case…

    Well, it does seem that anger is what they live for.

    One reads in pop psych (and perhaps elsewhere) that anger often is a cover for other, deeper emotional responses. What might one speculate is at work here? Fear, I think. Perhaps some shame these days.

    Gotta be rough when your entire worldview collapses around you…

    On Google, that image is a 13.8 KB .gif file (check the properties). NRO’s is a 12.4 KB .jpg file.

    The .gif file format was introduced by Compuserv, a 100% American outfit.

    .jpg was something developed by the disreputable international Joint Photographic Experts Group. Plus, it’s a "lossy" format.

    Why does NRO hate America? And why are they showing you fuzzy images?

    right…and when columbus day was first made a national holiday, the nro’s ancestors were hollering about how this was blatant identity-politics pandering to an ethnic minority of greasy italians.

    of course, back when columbus day was federalized, the nro’s ancestors said it was in order to appease a bunch of popish knights of columbus. they not only would have refused to shake hands with fiorello laguardia, they also would have turned their backs on anyone surnamed ‘lopez’.

    does she even realize she’s an affirmative action pick? and hired primarily to confirm derbyshire in his conviction that non-wasps are stupid?

    Paddington Bear is an illegal immigrant from a brown country, of course they’re upset. Heck, he called it Darkest Peru, so you know its very evil.

    Me, I grew up with Paddington and its not every year such a great Bear can celebrate his 50th.

    I wonder if K-Lo has ever talked to people in NM who trace their ancestry to before the Europeans got here. Study the Spanish Conquest in what is now the American Southwest and its obvious that since the Europeans arrived on this continent things haven’t worked out for the people who arrived here first. Columbus is not a universally beloved figure in all segments of our population.

    I have seen blogs go over this before, but Google is a world wide company and they tend not to use daily logos that are limited in meaning to a small portion of the world. Since the US is 5% of the worlds population I am pretty sure most people using Google would not "get" why they would have some guy dressed like someone from the 15th century.

    Oh, that’s good. Otherwise I was going to emulate K-Lo and start getting all pissy about Google not mentioning our Thanksgiving, and would be greviously offended at a bunch of strangers not placing the same importance on the day that I do.

    Christ on a pogo stick, that lady really needs to get a life.

    And now, I’m off to eat turkey with sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, oyster stuffing, green beans, homemade rolls, and many other fine delights. And K-Lo can eat this.

    OT: but when in doubt resort to voter fraud this from one "mountainsong" over a pumapac:

    "If you want to find out just how dumb BO’s supporters can be, try what I’ve been doing. I got 7 ducks now out of 29 calls…..
    Pick numbers randomly….calll them and say:
    Hi!! My name is ’so n so’, and I work with ACORN and the Barack Obama campaign and we’re just calling to ask you to vote for John McCain. Of course they say sumpin like, “WHAT!?!?” Then I say, well we’ve registered lots of voters and we already know we are going to win, but want it to look like a fair vote and not make people get suspicious.. Listen, if you doubt the truth of what I’m saying, just call your local newspaper editor for verification. So do you think you could do this patriotic thing for Barack?”
    “Ok, well, if it will help him win.”"

    Now correct me if I am wrong but isn’t calling someone and claiming to be from a campaign or a voter registration organization somewhat illegal? Particularly when you are asking them to vote for a particular person in order to "help" the other guy "win". (Lets not even get into the whole "well if people are stupid enough to fall for that they shouldn’t be voting" scenario, we all admit that there are stupid people out there regardless of whom they are voting for).

    IT ISN’T EVEN THE TRUE COLUMBUS DAY

    He landed on Hispaniola on October 12. I don’t know whether Google commemorated the anniversary yesterday, but I’d hope not.

    Come to think of it, I don’t even give a crap what the NRO got wrong this time.

    The Moar You Know

    Paddington is an anthropomorphised bear. He is always polite (always addressing people as "Mr.", "Mrs." and "Miss" and very rarely by first names) and well-meaning (though he inflicts hard stares on those who incur his disapproval). He likes marmalade sandwiches and cocoa, and has an endless capacity for getting into trouble. However, he is known to "try so hard to get things right".

    Paddington is a West-Coast elitist snob into foreign foods, kindness and NPR. He is also an illegal immigrant and, being brown and hairy, likely a terrorist.

    Wingtards would like him better if he took money from children’s chraities and kicked pregnant Mexican mothers down flights of stairs.

    It seems that K-Lo is paid to find things that make her angry.

    Have you seen her? She’s mad because she is 100% unfuckable. Money has nothing to do with it.

    from RedState comments:

    Something needs to happen to NYC again. It’s filled with commie traitors who didn’t seem to learn anything the previous two times terrorists tried to kill them. Maybe the next time they’ll learn.

    man I couldn’t read many of those comments. "Vile" only begins to describe it.

    Comrade Darkness

    man I couldn’t read many of those comments. "Vile" only begins to describe it.

    This dichotomy has never really be widely examined by our society, which is really unfortunate because it continues to crop up as legitimate.

    The right can take up the cross/cause of a fatal attack on NYC as an excuse to kill a few 100k of innocent foreigners and then turn around and wish for another attack because, apparently this wildly multiethnic city did not properly appreciate their bloody and expensive, enemy-multiplying military gesture. NYC refuses to be your pawn, middle-america. Why that should be a surprise at worst, let alone an insult, I don’t get, not outside of a certifiable diagnosis of a brain chemical imbalance.

    Don’t worry, NRO. When you finally get your revolution off the ground, teh Google will be the first to go. You must seize the company, grind it into the ground and send all the personnel off to Gitmo. The free market cannot tolerate these California companies that make tons of money by treating their employees well, giving them excellent food in the cafeteria and letting them bring their dogs to work, anyhow. It’s very un-American.

    ZOMG! Does Stephen "America’s biggest threats are airlines, women’s softball, dirty keyboards, Isabella Rossellini and adorable bears" Colbert know!?

    This "K-Lo" Lopez person of whom you write (you truly do read down-market) must be fishing for the haters, ’cause Paul Krugman clearly demonstrates that is how you get the Prize.

    For first-class twittery try Forbes.com:

    Today’s announcement that Paul Krugman won the Nobel Prize in economics, although not earth shattering, indicates that outright political partisanship is not a deterrent to winning. This is not as tragic a moment in western civilization as the sacking of Constantinople in 1453 or the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, but it suffices as one of those sad moments we will regret over time. The committee that chose Krugman cited his "trade" theories that once made him famous for actually doing economics.

    I’ve always wondered why NM, surrounded by red states, sometimes goes blue. Is it because of Indians?

    I hadn’t even noticed what was on the Google homepage until it was pointed out. And I’d visited it at least 8 times by that point.

    Bizzare, I truly have to conclude they are mentally ill, Bolsheviks in the end. But it does remind me of Paddington, who I have not thought of since childhood, when I eagerly awaited the publication of each new book. Oddly I am a fine capitalist and detest the Left in general. But in the US the "Right" has become Bolshy and needs a good purge of the nutters. (Rather a shunning lest purge be misinterpreted)

    The problem there is that Leif, et. al., got chased away by those folks from Asia, went back to Greenland, and didn’t feel like talking about it.
