Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Days Since JD Vance Insulted Women Across America: Zero

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

I also would like a pony to improve my balloon juice experience.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

I did not have this on my fuck 2024 bingo card.

    One the front page of The Huffington Post’s Politics page, there are six pictures of Sarah Palin (if you count Levi) and four of President obama. Why are we giving so much breath to her? Isn’t there anything better to talk about? Also, I cannot believe Broder gets paid to say stuff like he said this morning in his editorial – “Given that reality, the urgent necessity is to make a decision — whether or not it is right.” Huh?

    @AJinNC: You’ve obviously forgotten that making decisions irrespective of their consequences is the American Way™!

    Of course, Broder probably just misses the decisive decision-making of the Decider.

    @Tim F.: OK, just wondering. The phrasing was a little vague, and you can find Creative Commons-licensed photos on Flickr, FWIW.

    Many of these pictures fill me with an urge to make them my Facebook picture. And I’ve noticed other commenters ask for permission to use some of these pictures in a similar manner. How are the owners of these images treating these? I want that squirrel profile so bad I can taste it…

    I have a special fondness for squirrels as my Flickr favs are mostly of them and chippers. This one is fabulous GK, with great detail and focus.

    The lizard is equally terrific for it’s color and detail. The tropics are a nature photographers paradise. Someday, I may get a wild hair, pile in my pickup and head for the southern border which is only about 70 miles away. Bound for Belize or Guatemala . Soon as I receive the M60 MG on order and get it mounted properly.

    @asiangrrlMN: I just had to show this off during a slow moment at work. Hilda (one of my co-workers, a Latina who approved of my guac recipe) thought the critter was gawjuss!

    @jeffreyw: Are…those…wontons??

    Thanks to everyone for the kind comments about the lizard, too. I took that photo on the steep trail up to the plateau where Phukrudung National Park is located, but I have also seen the same species in the garden of a home in downtown Bangkok. I think that the male of this species develops the striking coloration seen in this photo only during the mating season.
