Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

The National Guard is not Batman.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

“Alexa, change the president.”

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

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

So very ready.

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

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

The Voting Continues

This post is in: 

Voting for Comments of the Year is still active. The entries are:


Krista:

You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.

And when I look out my window I can see the moon. Doesn’t make me a fucking astronaut now, does it?

Michael D.:

Ahmmm, I’m a ghey, and I wouldn’t do anything with the words “Cruise” and “Hugh Hewitt” in it.

Of course, with all those social conservatives in one place, it’ll probably sound like Riverdance in the bathrooms.

JasonF, with the Auto Industry as a Play. A sample (and really, read the whole thing):

ACT THREE

UAW: I have fulfilled my end of the deal by building the automobiles that you have asked me to build.

BIG THREE: Oh no! I am undone! My automobiles are no longer competitive due to my years of poor planning and poor judgment!

MITT ROMNEY: This is all UAW’s fault!

And, our final entry, Tbone with Hillary Clinton’s Tuzla War Journal, a fictionalized version of the sniper fire incident (and again, click the link for the whole comment):

It was a simple mission, they had told me – get in, shake a few hands and mouth a few platitudes, get out. Simple. Yeah.

Things had started going wrong while we were still in the air, and only gotten worse from there. So here we were, pinned down, choking on the acrid tang of cordite and the heady scent of human blood. The mission was even simpler now: survive. Whatever the cost, survive.

There was a grunt and a clatter of equipment as Sinbad threw himself down at my side. Sweat glistened on his bare arms, and I could see tendons contracting and relaxing as he squeezed off bursts from his M14. The motion was hypnotic, like a snake about to strike. Perhaps, when all this was over-

No. Concentrate. Focus on the mission. Survive.

A shout from my left drew my head around. Sheryl Crow, guitar still strapped to her back, had taken cover behind a pile of decaying corpses. Her once-lustrous hair, now limp and stringy, was held back from her eyes by a dirty red headband, and her slim nostrils flared, seeking air free of the funeral taint permeating the airfield. Still, I saw a fierce exultation in her expression that I knew mirrored my own.

    When I was 10 I started a string of Halloweens where myself and my friends dressed up as army commandos and treated trick or treating as faux recon missions.

    Also when I was 10 and the US bombed Libya, some of my friends in my Boy Scout troop and I started getting all rawdy and yelling that we were going to kick their ass and yada yada yada… until one of our Den masters — a vet — admonished us for treated a military operation like a sporting event.

    I really hope the guys who run Red State are 10.

    Is it too early to award the best "we’re not even going to pretend any more that we don’t like to pretend to be ‘soldiers’" post?

    Krista’s statement was pure brilliance. I think I said something this smart, maybe thirty years ago, but I can’t remember what it was now. It was a real zinger back then, though.

    Wolverines!

    Somehow, I get the sense that we’ll be saying that a lot in reference to RedState over the next few years.

    Wikipedia tells me wolverines (in addition to being teenaged freedom fighters) are gluttonous weasels.

    I have a feeling you’re right. We *will* be saying that a lot in reference to RedState.

    I voted for the UAW Auto Industry play. That comment was brilliant not only because it was really funny, but it was incredibly instructive.

    Or to quote Homer Simpson, "It’s funny because it’s true"

    the uaw industry play was perfect and has pretty much shut the mouth of my increasingly annoying Republican and Libratarian freinds and of course, my father, who now has to look at the UAW situation as one of contract law, and is feeling all morally quagmiry.

    yay.

    also, it got the blog national attention.

    Tried to vote for JasonF’s play but got a "please choose a valid poll answer" error message.

    So votes for JasonF aren’t valid? Did Tbone hire Norm Coleman’s lawyers?
