Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, man.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

This blog will pay for itself.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Let me file that under fuck it.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

    The rapid roll-out of new threads left the investigations thread below in the lurch… with all sorts of brilliance from me being EPUed. In short, it looks like the Bush NSA was tapping journalists’ phones… all of them. Everything is being archived, and Bushies were walking around the records at will, data-mining conversations in order to find leakers.

    What is extra great is that the whole apparatus is now in the hands of the liberals, ready for them to listen to the last few years of GOP and wingnut conversations. Maybe the righties will want investigations after all.

    You Steelers fans are just so full of yourselves! Wolcott is from Baltimore, I think it’s much more likely he’s a Ravens fan.

    That said, as a former Houston Oilers fan, who suffered through two consectutive game-to-go losses to the Steelers at the height of the Luv Ya Blue era, I must confess that I have a grudging respect for the black and gold.

    Look, when the Steelers can do what they did to my Chargers and still have me cheering for them against any other team they play… Well they can’t be all bad.

    Thanks for reminding me to read Wolcott. I love his stuff but always forget to read him. Just downloaded the Jah Wobble doc about Sid that I might have missed had he not linked to it.

    As a newbie around here, I’m amused that John didn’t get all the fawning media attention and fanfare of the inauguration, but he’s deeply committed to sports (a lot of fawning media attention and fanfare about a ball-game played by millionaires).

    And for the record, I have no idea what sport you’re all talking about, and I’m happy this way :)

    Ignorance truly is bliss.

    @J.A.F. Rusty Shackleford: Yeah, it truly is. I just took a walk outside, and ran into this year’s DC right to life protest. Kids who should be in school getting sex ed are being dumped onto the streets to fluff the protest by the Catholic schools.

    On the other hand, the Vikings sure can pick a coach, can’t they? Green over Dungy. Childress over Tomlin. Not that I think Green was that bad of a coach.

    Oh, and by the way, that Arizona offense is a Dennis Green creation. Built like the ’98 Vikings, this team is destined to disappoint.

    Wow. So Obama’s character is revealed by which of like 15 parties he didn’t attend on the night of his inauguration? That’s really scraping the bottom of the barrel. I hope they find something better than fake death lists, debunked Whitewater scandals and lying about blowjobs. At least Bush gave us great material. It’s gonna be a long 4-8 years for folks on the Right who really need to hate a Democratic president.

    I mean, since he’s an actual US citizen, got re-sworn in unnecessarily, was legitimately elected, isn’t a muslim, isn’t a terrorist, is black enough, isn’t too black, and didn’t murder all the people that Bill Clinton supposedly already had murdered.

    If they’re worried about how Obama feels about our military and our vets, I’d guess – wild stab in the dark here – they could see what his policies are toward the military and vets. Which party he didn’t attend? How about people he’s unlikely to torture, kidnap, extradite or spy on? How about veteran’s benefits he campaigned to assure (as opposed to what Bush actually did, say). dood, please.

    He was who we thought he was.
