Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Their freedom requires your slavery.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

This fight is for everything.

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Let there be snark.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

I really should read my own blog.

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

    I thought both Hall and Oates butchered the lyrics. I assume the subtitles weren’t planned before that stumbling, awkward performance.

    Reminded me of when my wife got tickets to Neil Diamond a few years back.

    Songs sung blue, nasally, and flat, with a dry throated waver that made my ears curl.

    nothing better than hall and oates… my dad grew up with mr. hall, who might i just say has aged much better than oates! when i saw oates singing during the phillie’s world series, i choked! the face lift and lack of ‘stache is beyond wrong.

    Did you watch the Behind The Music about Hall and Oates? Damn thing made me cry.

    Hall and Oates got their start when "Sarah Smiles" got play on R&B stations. People thought they were black. For white musicians, what higher praise can there be?

    Not that any of that makes up for atrocities like "Method of Modern Love" or "Maneater", but they were better than people remember, on balance.

    On a different subject, have people noted that when executives get fired from financial companies for driving them into the ground, their golden parachutes are money that they are contractually entitled to, and we can’t just void signed contracts. People who retired from auto company factories and are now on a pension are greedy bastards dragging the companies down, and we need to force them to give up that money.

    clicking and seeing the puppies every time, is turning me into a big bowl of jello. I can’t snark and offend in that condition. The cute is lethal.

    J. Michael Neal,

    Because we can’t just void the signed contracts that the companies have with their non-executive retirees?

    And remember, the Treasury can’t say that $30,000,000 is too much to pay someone who caused billions in losses, as their bonus formula apparently uses the absolute value of their impact on the company to determine their pay.

    I guess that’s one positive thing out of the last 8 years. Everyone is so used to things being so surreal that virtualization is often assumed. Spoofing is just a form of prediction.

    So, in their foolish insistence on fucking the UAW, the Senate Republicans are going to end up fucking us all.

    Gee, thanks, fellas.

    So, yeah. The election nights in Seattle. Can we have more people who are so happy to see someone who is remotely competent in power cause a force strong enough to shut down blocks of the city more often?

    I mean sweet titties McChrist., We’re so used to epic fail that billions of dollars barely phase us!

    That would be T-Bone Wolk, a triple-scale studio musician who used to play in the H&O band.

    Indeed. A couple $tril large for the banking industry? No problem. Paying banking industry bonuses with taxpayer dollars? As it should be. $14B for the auto industry? Fuck those greedy UAW bastards. And all over this country, poor middle-class schlubs who’ve bought the GOP con are saying "Fuck yeah!". Unbelievable.

    I watched the repeat of that show as I was trying to go to bed last night. Seeing the clips of the assorted Faux News losers made my blood boil. I’m glad I don’t waste my time with them that much any more.

    Off topic but Bettie Page died yesterday at the age of 85. Rest in peace, pretty lady. May your bangs be immortalized on tattooed, roller-derby honeys nationwide for decades to come.

    These motherfuckin GOPers are really, truly trying to completely fuck Obama and the Dems I just cannot fathom 150 billion for AIG and zilch for 3 of the largest blue-collar companies. Stunning.

    But that’s not important. What’s important is the shady Obama cover-up of his administrations coverup in the Blago affair. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t even have an administration yet, or that Elliot Ness Fitzmo has expressly stated there is nothing to cover-up. Screw the blue collar jobs, let them eat cake, and all hail our media feeding frenzy overlords. Only in America.

    Good news is hard to find these days, so even small nuggets of it are eagerly welcomed.

    Reading Scott Turow’s Op-Ed piece from Wednesday’s NYT, one learns that he is at work on a sequel to "Presumed Innocent."

    Don’t know about anyone else, but that gets my day off to a good start.

    The Hall & Oates performance was not well-rehearsed and disappointing, but I’ve seen them in concert recently and Hall can sing like nobody’s business!! Thankfully they avoided most of the MTV-pop stuff and stuck to their soul-full roots (She’s Gone, Sara Smile, Rich Girl…that stuff). For the encore, they performed a rendition of "Me and Mrs Jones" (not their song) that brought the house down. T-Bone used to be in the Sat NIght Live house band as well. I’m just sayin, if you wan a feel-good concert where everyone is singing along, they are one of the best.

    Look like those GOP cocksuckers were banking on Bush stepping in, as he appears to be. Terrific: they get to look like populists fighting for the little guy, a chunk of the 700 billion is made available by a hated lame duck president, and they get to continue to bitch all the way through Obama’s term.

    Plus those fuckers have me approving of something Bush is probably going to do. I hate them for that, too.

    The Hall and Oates performance was cringe-inducing. They sounded awful and although Jon tried his best to make them seem welcome and relevant, they could not be bigger has-beens. It was embarrassing, although that one "douchebag" line was clever.

    Shane, hate on ’em all you want, but they gave the world "Out of Touch," which means they are at least ten times as awesome as both of us combined, and have earned the right to the occasional off gig.

    I would implore you, sir, to fuckin’ recognize.
