Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickle?”

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

The willow is too close to the house.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Bark louder, little dog.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Optimism opens the door to great things.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

I really should read my own blog.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Everybody saw this coming.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Question

This post is in: ,

I wonder when will wingnuts will figure out the thematic parallels between Daniel Craig’s new film Defiance and the Greatest Moving Picture Ever Recorded By Man (TM), Red Dawn. When they inevitably do, who will be the first wingnut blogger to paint himself as a Jewish partisan fighting the Nazis? Whoever guesses Ace of Spades, if correct, only gets half credit.

    Some would ask the question, "How could you possibly conflate American peacenik liberals with the German Nazi war machine?" I would ask the question, "How can you not?"

    I’m waiting for the Hollywood East production of the Gazan’s stout defense of The Strip against impossible odds. Hey, that’s a great working title: The Strip.

    I think you overlook the obvious choice of those brave, persecuted souls, that band of brothers known as the Red State Strike Force.

    What’s Yiddish for "wolverines"?

    I don’t know that one. How about, "cute little puppy"?

    Them peacnik liberals are more heavily armed than Hitler’s Panzer divisions.

    The American Friends Service Committe is the Waffen SS of liberal fascism.

    Can you really picture Jonah Doughy Pantload roughing it in the forest with no Cheeseburgers or Baby Powder? I think not.

    I love the Defiance ad with the voice-over saying "One man stood up to tyranny", with the heroically scruffy Daniel Craig on screen. It’s like they’re directly aiming for the RSSF demo, all of them fighting the good, lonely fight in front of their monitors.

    Of course Daniel Craig isn’t as ruggedly handsome as, say, Hugh Hewitt, but who could be?

    Given that the state of Israel didn’t exist at the time the movie is set, wouldn’t the, er, ethnic nature of the partisans make them less sympathetic in the eyes of the RSSF?

    And has anyone else noticed how easy it is to type Himmler’s title – RFSS (Reichsfuhrer SS) – when referring to the Red State clowns? Anyone wonder if the choice of letters was subconciously influenced?

    "roughing it" with Erikkck’s rough men ?

    Why is it that the people who are given to swooning over Red Dawn are the same people who write that beating up on the Palestinians in Gaza or the Shiites in Hezballebanon is going get them to give up the fight?

    I’ve been pretty far left for a good long time, and I love Red Dawn. Die Hard, too (but not the sequels). Watch ’em as often as I can.
