Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

I was promised a recession.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

This really is a full service blog.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

I really should read my own blog.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

    Worse than the potato famine even. It’s like living in hiding from the Nazis and having nothing to eat but rotten potatoes and canned pickles like Adrian Brody in The Pianist.

    You’re welcome! :+)

    And speaking of Hoekstra, you know, I’m thinking about getting bombed tonight, so I’ll know what The Siege of Bastogne felt like!

    I just saw my first “Where’s the Birth Certificate” billboard in PA – It’s on East I-78 near Kutztown. I nearly flipped the car trying to get a cameraphone picture, but wasn’t fast enough :(

    The local cafe ran out of soup just before I went up for lunch; now I know what the Irish Potato Famine was like.

    Chill out, Howie. Everyone knows who’ll be first in line at John McCain’s July 4th BBQ.

    I just had gender reassignment surgery. Now I know what it feels like to be a woman.

    …what?

    I mean, huh?

    I swear, twitter is a compressive force on the political continuum which is causing not just wingularities but also oddball press singularities.

    @Laura W: Yeah, but on mute and listening to live Dave Matthews Band (don’t start with me, people). Heard most of POTUS, and then started kickin’ out the jams.

    Wha hoppen?

    Thank god for twitter. Now people can gain self importance by relaying utterly useless information to more people faster than ever.

    Me, I havent participated in any ‘social networking’ system yet. I’m just waiting for the last one to be developed before jumping in.

    I haven’t seen any Tunch or Lily pictures today. Now I know how baby seals feel as they’re being clubbed.

    Kurtz did give the dish on Fox setting up Major Garrett with Carrie Prejean. Poor Julie, stuck at home writing up her next article on balancing motherhood and journalism, waiting for the next call to appear in a segment about balancing motherhood and journalism, wondering if she should start Twittering about balancing motherhood and journalism…

    Funny, I don’t seem to recall Howie ever complaining about the life of “wretched excess” when the wine was flowing more freely.

    These people act as if they honestly believe that the job description of a journalist is to simply get free food and drink at cocktail parities. They confuse journalistic talent with the ability to RSVP for a party, and, on top of that, they think they actually deserve respect for it.
