Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

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

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

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

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

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

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

    JD: I just simply can’t believe in the midst of this intense campaign season, you could find the time to talk with me about the “Hammerklavier” Sonata.

    SP: Well, ya know, Beethoven was the dude who said thanks but no thanks to Napoleon. Plus from all the mavericky songs he wrote, maybe this one could be known as the most maverickyest….
