Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No one could have predicted…

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

This really is a full service blog.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

We still have time to mess this up!

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

    Got nothing to say? Pasty Jerry does:

    Jerome Corsi, author of the anti-Obama book The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," remains (shockingly) unconvinced by the president’s first month in office.

    Speaking in the halls of the Conservative Political Action Conference here in Washington D.C., the libertarian author, who caused a brief campaign stir with the publication of his book, said that multiple questions and concerns remain, on everything from Obama’s politics to his citizenship.

    Asked by the Huffington Post whether recent comments by Sen. Richard Shelby – in which he seemingly questions Obama’s nationality – were fair game or whether the country needed to move beyond the issue, Corsi sided with the Alabama Republican.

    "It is not going off the table because people care about the Constitution. And it is in the Constitution that a president needs to be nationally born," he replied. "It is not settled. Barack Obama has not released his natural birth certificate.

    Oh, great.

    It’s no longer enough for the TFH crowd to demand he produce the original paper copy of his birth certificate for their personal examination.

    Now to be a citizen of the United States he has to prove his mother gave birth to him vaginally and with no pain meds.

    Fuck! These guys mean bidness!

    Obama really does need to invent a time machine so that he can transport people to Hawaii the year he was born, so they can be witnesses. If we can get a dozen witnesses, then the debate will be settled. Until then, it’s a slap in the face to all Americans. /wingnut

    @Ella in NM: I really don’t think so. I remember when there were people — quite a few, actually — who used to go around talking about how the Federal Reserve Note and the Income Tax were unconstitutional. They were quite serious about it. There are still people going around saying these things.

    But the thing is, they are totally marginalized and ignored.

For that bit of youthful stupidty she’s paying for it for the rest of her life with a felony record that can’t be removed. She has trouble trying to rent apartments or a house or even get a house. That’s fucked up. We all do dumb shit when we’re young but we shouldn’t have to artifically pay for it for the rest of our lives.

    We SERIOUSLY need to some changes w.r.t to drug policy and the war on drugs. I hope we can convince Obama to get rid of some of this shit. If you’re in this position as this young woman, she should have the charge removed if she’s clean after 3-4 years.

    Coming up: fReichtards demand to see Obama’s Supertriplegoogleplex Birth Certificate, his Jesus Certified Birth Certificate and his navel to make sure he’s human.

    I have the image of President Obama responding to one of the Media Village Idiots’ "Some people say… " version of this demand with a comment like "Okay, guys, if it’s that important to you all, I will show you my navel, on camera. But no matter HOW much you beg, I am NOT lowering my waistband any further than that."

    Srlsy, Mr. Cole, I’m very sorry to hear about your uncle’s Papillon. We have yet to spot coyotes in our immediate neighborhood — and our three Papillons are all rather larger than the average showdogs, around 12lbs. each — but there have been dogs killed in nearby towns. Even more depressing, tonight’s local tv news featured a report on a farmer in Raynham (stone’s throw from the Patriots stadium complex) who’s lost several baby goats to a pack of "10 or 12" coyotes. One of his toy dogs was attacked & killed last night even though his wife was in the yard just a few feet away… and he says the biggest coyote was "almost like a German Shepherd, mostly black, maybe 60 – 70 pounds." Unless his estimate is ridiculously grandiose, this means a coyote-dog hybrid, and coydogs have a truly evil reputation. Of course, this is also coyote mating season — if your uncle’s favorite was still "intact" the poor little bustard might have seemed like competition, too?

    Coyotes aren’t much of an issue in town, here, but when a mountain lion decides to bed down 1 block off downtown there’s a certain amount of consternation. Yes, a town of 10K pop with a cougar laid up in it. Cops shot it. Two years ago IIRC.

    We have plenty, no need to try to relocate and that’s usually a disaster since they won’t tolerate another cat on their range and their ranges are very large.

Retired firefighter turned green thumb, doesn’t smoke it and is willing to put in a facility to grow for as many as 10 patients (seventy plants) on his property. We are getting him set up (paperwork-wise) now.

    Retired firefighter and former Republican who voted for Obama because ‘my party left me and went off a cliff long ago’. Since we had talked in the past about it, once he heard about the drug dogs being called off he gave me a call and offered his services. He is as clean as a whistle and is friends with most of the cops in our area.
