Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

It could be worse. Vance could have said “post-menopausal sows.” Waiting for that audiotape to surface.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Let’s finish the job.

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Cole is on a roll !

This really is a full service blog.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Please don’t feed the bears.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

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

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

    You all will recognize him, and yes, just as with Tim, we have recruited our own talent from the comments section.

    You should have asked me first before just announcing it to everybody like this.

    Wait, it’s not me?

    I can’t feel bad about losing to Krista, who is made of awesome and win.

    Bet your ass I’m going to scratch and claw for second place, though. I hope your lawyer has directions to Recount City, JasonF.

    Congrats to Krista. I actually voted for Jason, but it was one of the toughest decisions of my life. Almost as tough as when I came under enemy fire at the cosmetics counter at Macy’s . . . .

    But that’s a story for another day.

    I hope it’s a troll. You’re not a quality snark blog until you’ve promoted a troll to the rss.

    Wonderful, instead of wondering where DougJ is spoofing from the comments we get to guess who he is on the posts.

    Is Krista an Ohio State fan? If so, she may not be alive to accept her award. God, that was a stupid call by the defensive coordinator.

    Did Krista get a shout-out from Rachel Maddow like Jason F. did? That shoulda counted for something. Still, congrats are in order.

    Krista seems to be a very fun and honest person who will be an excellent mother. Assuming I am right, her husband is a lucky man. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and congratulations.

    Speaking of- go vote for Tbogg.

    The Mormon lady seems to be running away with it right now.

  16. 16.

    oh really

    I’m pretty sure Krista teamed up with ACORN to steal this election. I certainly hope Tbone will contest the outcome, demand a recount, a re-vote, and then the intervention of the Supreme Court. Surely, they will see the threat that Krista poses to everything we hold dear; all that is good, and pure, and worth whining about.

    @Zuzu’s Petals:

    Oh god…. please go and vote for tbogg!

    When the Mormon lady writes crap like this, she does not deserve to live, let alone win…

    I welcomed you with a baby swimming inside my ready-made placenta.

    I ended my 30th year, thereby official became a thirty-something.

    We bought a second home, Retro House an unassuming structure of wonders.

    I contracted.

    And contracted.

    And finally pushed.

    In so doing, became a mother.

    And Chup a father.

    I realized the secret to happiness is to continually fall in love.

    To give the soul reasons for butterflies.

    And babies, they’ll do it to you.

    TattooSydney;

    I’m a couple of cocktails into the evening, but if you suggest that new life should be denied to Mormon women who have their first child at the age of thirty, you are kind of weird.

    Fatherhood has been the most rewarding aspect of my life. I have led a rich life. This guy is a dummy Krista.

    TheAssInTheHatOnMyCat(Formerly Comrade Tax Analyst)

    Well, Congrats again to Krista. I would have voted for her "fucking astronaut" comment over any other comment made at BJ except for T-Bone’s incredible HRC war tale. Her comment was both sharp and succinct, and if I didn’t have a natural predilection for long and somewhat manic works I would have picked her’s without a second thought, even if she is a Canadian.

    Does anyone care that it was fey on snl and not palin who said she could see russia from her house? oh well, makes for good comedy, and especially if it assuades cole’s perpetual moral boner (erect since his great crossover). love and kisses to my moral and intellectual superiors!

    @Tattoosydney:

    I know. But it is a fundraising site for her critically-burned sister, so what are ya gonna do?

    I suspect everybody in her LDS ward is piling on the votes.

    PS, I was voting for BJ but my next one will be for TBogg.

    This lady is a miracle of science; it’s no wonder people are voting for her. And if I had known you could get a placenta ready-made I could have saved a lot of time and energy– does Sam’s Club do them, or is it a secret LDS thing like the long underwear?

    bago

    Chup’s sperm is so sacred it pre-impregnates the woman (virginal placenta!) while leaving a trail of butterflies.

    Imagine if she swallowed. Talk about butterflies in your stomach.

    @R-Jud:

    Uhm, I think it has something to do with the "fertility challenges" she mentions. Maybe she had in vitro fertilization.

    @john c:

    Does anyone care that it was fey on snl and not palin who said she could see russia from her house?

    Does anybody care what you think? I’m guessing not.

    However, I’m feeling indulgent this morning, so I’ll remind you that the actual quote from Palin was "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.”

    That is the quote of which I was making fun, not Fey’s hilarious send-up of it.

    Dumbass.

    With that out of the way, I’d like to thank everybody who voted. That quip was really just a stroke of luck bestowed by the gods of snark, and I really don’t feel like I even deserved to be in the same company as the other three contenders. But I’m happy to have contributed to the mockery of Palin in my own small way.

    /music plays, as she is escorted offstage by two B-list actors.

    The Other Steve

    I voted for JasonF, but some how my vote ended up getting tallied for Krista.

    I WAS ROBBED!

    I demand a recount! I demand absentee ballots be counted! I demand Justice!

    I DEMAND A CHICKEN DINNER!

    @Zuzu’s Petals:

    Being pregnant is lovely; raising kids with the person you love is even better. But "placenta" does not mean what she thinks it means. Babies swim (or kickbox, if they’re like my current tenant) in the amniotic sac. They couldn’t swim in the placenta, because it’s this big floppy thing attached to the uterine wall. Even with IVF it isn’t ready-made, it grows from the same clump of cells the baby does, whether said clump implants in her uterus naturally, or with a nudge from medicine.

    I voted for Jason and am bringing in James Baker to contest this. I own the Supremes so Krista’s arse is toast!

    Oh, don’t worry, I’m on it. I’ve successfully petitioned John to refrain from seating Krista until my legal challenge is resolved. Next, Norm Coleman and I will stage a sit-in on the steps of the Supreme Court, where we’ll hold our breath and stamp our feet until we get our way. My eventual victory is assured, no matter how much personal dignity I have to jettison in the process.

    I admire your pouting spirit, tripletee. Remember, that is what made this country great. Who was it that said, "I have not yet begun to pout"?

    @R-Jud:

    Congratulations on your little tenant. And yes, I’ll vouch from personal experience that pregnancy and motherhood is wonderful.

    But you’ll have to take up the scientific accuracy of her comments with her, I’m just speculating on what I think she may have meant.
