Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Not all heroes wear capes.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

    Blogger fatigue, eh? Don’t worry, I am sure that plenty of material will be available real soon.

    That’s just the way it is. Shit happens, you write about it and everything is right in the world (ok, or so we wish).

    Good morning to you too John. ;)

    Obama’s Heroism
    Daniel Halper – 12.10.2008 – 8:01 AM

    Jen and Abe have been all over Governor Blagojevich’s corruption, but they missed the primary reason the feds were able to catch this sleazy politico–luckily, the New York Times picks up the slack. The fine people of Illinois can thank Barack Obama, and a key (better: revelatory) telephone call he made, for the justice that’s finally being served in the prairie state:

    In a sequence of events that neatly captures the contradictions of Barack Obama’s rise through Illinois politics, a phone call he made three months ago to urge passage of a state ethics bill indirectly contributed to the downfall of a fellow Democrat he twice supported, Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich.

    Mr. Obama placed the call to his political mentor, Emil Jones Jr., president of the Illinois Senate. Mr. Jones was a critic of the legislation, which sought to curb the influence of money in politics, as was Mr. Blagojevich, who had vetoed it. But after the call from Mr. Obama, the Senate overrode the veto, prompting the governor to press state contractors for campaign contributions before the law’s restrictions could take effect on Jan. 1, prosecutors say.

    Tipped off to Mr. Blagojevich’s efforts, federal agents obtained wiretaps for his phones and eventually overheard what they say was scheming by the governor to profit from his appointment of a successor to the United States Senate seat being vacated by President-elect Obama.

    Now wingnuts, all together now. What was Obama’s relationship with the Blago?

    Obama being…….tied……to (can’t stop laughing)…..Blago.

    Seriously, I challenge you to try to read this link. It’s like Six Degrees of Stupidity Bacon With a Side of Idiots.

    I’m pretty sure she could find a way to tie the Magna Carta, the Holocaust, and beef jerky together, if it meant the downfall of a Democrat.

    Juggs’s ranting is harmless enough, but after listening to Isikoff’s breathless panty-bunching on Maddow last night, I worry that this turns into Whitewater II. Our craven media can handle just so much administrative competence before they get bored.

    OT: Rachel Maddow and Mark Teixeira, separated at birth. Discuss.

    @Punchy: Yeah, that’s a black hole of stupid going on in there. Let me get this straight–Obama and SEIU have a relationship. Blago wants something from SEIU and Obama in exchange for appointing Obama’s preferred candidate into his old seat, but gets nothing. Therefore, Obama and Blago are best friends.

    Man, I haven’t had enough coffee yet to deal with that level of stupid.

    Looks like the Christmas spirit is underwhelming in Louisiana this year.

    SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) – A 32-year-old Shreveport man is now recovering at home after he says he was badly beaten at a west Shreveport gas station for wearing a Barack Obama t-shirt.

    The scaled-down holiday party at work includes sugar cookies, soft drinks, and a showing of "It’s a Wonderful Life."

    Really? The story about how a depression-era mortgage banker is really the hero of the working man?

    I think I’ll stick to Seuss this year.
