Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

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

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

It’s possible to be a liberal firebrand without crapping on the party.

Let there be snark.

Bark louder, little dog.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Son, Be a Dentist, You’ll Be a Success

This strikes me as a really bad medical care choice:

The dental office of Orly Taitz, DDS, Esq., is in a low-slung complex in a quiet planned community in Orange County, alongside an assortment of small businesses and solo practitioners. The practice, Appealing Dentistry, is busy this morning. In the waiting room are a woman with no dental insurance and a boy with three cavities, and the phone is ringing off the hook with dentists eager to fill a job opening.

I can’t describe how bad off I would have to be before I let Orly (YA, RLY!) Taitz near me with medical instruments in that little shop of horrors. I’d probably opt to take care of my dental pain myself, with an ice pick, a pair of pliers, and a handle of Jack Daniels.

A Morning Hoekstroika

Awesome:

In an interview with the Washington Post yesterday, former Ron Paul economic adviser Peter Schiff, who is now running as a Republican for Connecticut’s U.S. Senate seat, feigned modesty when asked about his candidacy, saying that he wasn’t “heroic” for running for office. However, he then compared himself to the heroes who fought in World War II against Nazi Germany.

The actual quote is too good to believe- “I’m interrupting my career. It’s not like I want my new career in politics. But I’m willing to interrupt it the same way that somebody interrupted their career and joined World War II and went off to fight the Nazis.”

Just plain awesome.

I’m all jacked up on the Via I taste-tested a few hours ago, so I couldn’t stop myself from taking an early look at Bobo.

What kind of a person would think his readers might enjoy an extended and unexplained parable about David Hume and Jeremy Bentham? Why not just start signing this shit Bobo +6?

The Lambs Were Screaming

Bobby Jindal has an op-ed in the WaPo today featuring some conservative ideas on health care (I’m guessing he’s decided that print is a better medium for him). This one caught my eye:

Reward healthy lifestyle choices: Providing premium rebates and other incentives to people who make healthy choices or participate in management of their chronic diseases has been shown to reduce costs and improve health.

Can you imagine the screams of fascism and nonsense that we would be subjected to if anyone to the left of Rush Limbaugh proposed this? The Reason folks alone would have the vapors and publish a seven part series on faceless bureaucrats trying to tell us all how to live and plaintive wails about central planning. Glenn Beck would be weeping about taking America back from the health care czars who want to run your life, and the teabaggers would plan a Million Meatball March to protest healthy lifestyles. Sarah Palin would have a facebook post up explaining that “management of chronic diseases” is code for getting a check for shooting your sick granny like Old Yeller.

And then the best part would be on Sunday morning, when David Gregory or George Will or one of those jackasses would say “sure, the bill says nothing like that, but it is the Democrat’s fault for using ambiguous language. This really ws a bad stumble for the White House.”

BTW, for those of you curious, other than movement on pre-existing conditions and the one above, the rest of Jindal’s ideas involve tax cuts and de-regulation. I’m sure you are shocked.

The Bible Has a Well-Known Liberal Bias

I gotta admit, I didn’t see this coming:

Conservative Bible Project From Conservapedia

Liberal bias has become the single biggest distortion in modern Bible translations. There are three sources of errors in conveying biblical meaning:

* lack of precision in the original language, such as terms underdeveloped to convey new concepts of Christianity
* lack of precision in modern language
* translation bias in converting the original language to the modern one.

Of these three sources of errors, the last introduces the largest error, and the biggest component of that error is liberal bias. Large reductions in this error can be attained simply by retranslating the KJV into modern English.

You just can not make this shit up.
