Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

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

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

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Fight them, without becoming them!

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

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

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

I no longer link to Robert Stacy McCain when he says something batshit crazy, because, well, he says a lot of batshit crazy things, and after a while, it’s just not that amusing anymore. But I admire this kind of candor (about the Carlsonington Post via Around The Sphere):

Last month, I took a vow to stop slagging the Daily Caller. With $3 million in start-up capital, they’ll be around at least through the November elections…

So true.

    I just hope he invites Jon Stewart for a guest op-ed.

    Seriously, does this “X, but for conservatives” formula ever work? I mean, we already had an attempt at a Daily Show for conservatives, the “Half-hour News Hour”, and even the title was trying too hard.

    It’s just Air America all over again. This sort of thing must happen organically.

    I’m going to read it for a while just to see if they really do make a real attempt at journalism. But they are going to be the HuffPo of the Right? Yikes! Arianna in a bowtie.

    @Mike Kay: No, I haven’t forgotten. That guy has had so many failed talk shows, it’s like Rachmaninoff and Jesse Helms eating creme brulee in a donut store, amiright?

    fixed, you gotta add one more layer of nonsensical trivia to fearlessly attack.

    It’s like scholarly figure and pop culture figure doing something they wouldn’t do. The last time I saw this was obscure historical reference. Aren’t those liberals stupid? High pitched chuckle at my own joke.

    The end of the article contains this revealing core truth about America:

    The promise of America is ‘We’ll let you do what you want, as long as you defend yourself.’

    What club is he a member of?

    Edit: Tucker said that…..

    I admit to being a wrestling fan and he (Miller) was the guest host for monday night raw a couple weeks ago. Now they were down in Texas and even that crowd thought his rightwing form of humor was stupid. Every joke he told was largely met with silence.

    I don’t get anything about this post.
    It exceeds my snark recursion limit.
    That’s been happening a lot lately.

    @DougJ:

    You think they can burn 3 million in six months?

    We’re talking about Conservatives, DougJ. These people were pro-shipping pallets of US Currency to Iraq to disappear into the ether. They’ll find a way to have the fucker in the red by St. Paddy’s Day.

    Maybe they PowerPointed $3 million as the amount necessary to get them through the beginning of November, by which point the advantages of further investment will be self-evident.

    The writing that will get the most staff attention is the collection of resumes they’ll need by the end of the year.

    How much did the GOP spend on their malformed skeleton of a website, again?

    You’ve never worked at an internet startup I’m guessing. Three mill is nothing, even post dot bomb.

    Just how gawdawful much money did Pajamas Media (former host of Balloon-Juice!) burn through in about a year? I remember seeing how much money they claimed to have secured for their launch, being flabbergasted by it, and then they somehow claimed to have spent it all in an amazingly short time.

    @demkat620: from the post:

    It so happens I read Friedersdorf’s quote this morning in a room at the Crown Plaza in Redondo Beach with Mike Flynn, editor of Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com. [emphasis added]

    It would be irresponsible not to leap to wholly unfounded conclusions speculate…

    As I’ve said elsewhere, if Carlson thinks the Huff Post is a newspaper that he’s going to replicate “for conservatives,” he’s doomed. News coverage at Huff only came after a couple years of a thousand bloggers posting (and continuing to post) for free. Arianna got the audience first, THEN got the ads and investment to pay for reporting.

    Which raises the question, whom will Tucker get to post for free, day-in/day-out, to build the audience? The mind reels, the blood runs cold, the brain jumps out of the head and staggers down the street.

    The thing I love about the Right, is that the Wingnut welfare is simply there for the taking. With something like the Great Orange Satan you have to build it for years from scratch, but if you want a Wingnut version of Kos and you are even moderately connected in Rightwing circles the money is simply given to you no matter how much you fuck the whole thing up.
