Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Not all heroes wear capes.

All hail the time of the bunny!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Come on, man.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

    Kids, talk to your parents. Now.

    Last debate tonight. This one might be too embarassing to sit through. McCain’s been looking ready for the home on TV lately.

    This whole thing with Team McCain telegraphing their punches re: bringing up Ayers at the debate is mind-boggling. It seems Johnny Drama has no choice to bring it up himself if Scheiffer doesn’t raise it. Surely Obama has a ready-made response in any case.

    I guess he’s trying to show he’s a tough guy, but when most of the polls are indicating that this kind of thing is turning people off, he looks a lot closer to an idiot.

    @Carnacki:

    There would be some sweet justice if Obama/Biden won WV, but I’m very skeptical. Still, the fact that it’s even being discussed is awesome news for John McCain.

    Damn, here I thought I was at BJ, and it turns out this URL just takes me to Atrios’ site….

    Bob Schieffer will be overtly hostile to Obama tonight.

    Well, good. As we’ve seen, the more Sen. Obama is attacked, the better he looks, and his favorability rating only rises. If Schieffer and McCain are both hammering on him, he’ll look like the only positive, realistic, calm, responsible adult in the room.

    I hope.

    "Moggy" is a (mosly UK) nickname for a cat.
    It was a (perhaps poor) atttempt on my part to equate you to a little old lady to like to talk about her kitties.

    My snark-fu is weak it appears

    Isn’t that kind of what happened with the last debate when whats-his-name kept barking at Obama about the time but let McCain ramble? I do agree that Obama can more than hold his own in a 2-on-1 situation. He’s the champ.

    I thought Moggy was Austalian – a folk singer- can’t recall who- had a song about a road-killed kitty with the lines

    "He’s nobody’s Moggy
    He’s red and squashed and soggy
    And he’s nobody’s Moggy anymore"

    I did a double take when I saw your cat. He/she/it is an almost exact clone of my 7 1/2 year old tabby, Scooter (not named after Libby!) Same markings same g-normous gut same sleeping position, same expression.

    Felt as though there’d been a catnapping. Oh, but there is a cat napping, LOL

    Someone needs to put that Chunkmeister Putty-Tat on an high protein, canned food only diet. He’s a tank.

    Like Kritter, I thought my cat had been catnapped too. I can’t find any immediate evidence to prove the pictured kitteh is not my Hitchcock. Right down to the M for Moggy they’re virtually identical.

    Hey! That’s my Gus. Aw.

    His gut isn’t as large as it seems in the photo (must be the horizontal stripes).
