Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

In my day, never was longer.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

This really is a full service blog.

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

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Second rate reporter says what?

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

Let there be snark.

A consequence of cucumbers

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

    @Xenos: Regardez ici. Tournez les trois cadrans vers la gauche et tournez le cadran droit à 100 ou 200. Utilisez le bouton “Alt” avec le number pad et les nombres dans la table pour faire les accents.

    Pour “à” j’ai utilisé “Alt+0224”
    Pour “é” j’ai utilisé “Alt+0233”
    Etc.

    Okay this is extremely weird.

    Usually I log in to Balloon Juice from France, and it’s in English. Now I come back to the States for a week, and Balloon Juice is in French.

    You’re just trying to mess with my head, I know it.

    @burnspbesq: And now, there’s another open thread just opened despite this one having only nine comments and being opened two hours ago.

    It’s all crazy I tells ya, crazy.

    I’m afraid that might be partly my fault. I got in the first comment on that second thread (this one too, but who’s counting?) and sort of hijacked it immediately.

    But sooner or later, all threads become open threads, all conversations go off on tangents, and the “O/T” disclaimer becomes nothing more than a conventional nicety.

    ‘Swhy I keep coming here.

    Oh, sorry. Bill E Pilgrim was talking about an actual Open Thread. I hadn’t seen it when I posted and thought he was talking about the France Update thread which so quickly became Open. Apologies for making it All About Me.
