Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

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

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Bark louder, little dog.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

    Is that some of the worst eyewitness testimony since To Kill a Mockingbird, or what?

    Although I see a role for Leslie Jordan when HBO makes this all into a movie.

    The video of Elmo talking about illegal immigrants was one of the best things I’ve seen on The Daily Show ever.

    Elmo believe in racial purity. Elmo blood not tainted. Elmo pure. Elmo hate mudblood.

    Amazing.

    @MMonides: Hey new guy. I’d mention in passing that it looked to me that Helen brought up Poland and Germany at the prompting of the rabbi in the full video. She was sort of repeating him. People her age are a bit prone to that. But agree we need to rethink the ways we discuss Middle East peace or lack thereof.

    Which I’m posting here because your post seems to have effed up the formatting like crazy on the blog. And yeah, I’m using IE7. For a very good reason that’s too complicated to explain.

    My favorite part was Aasif Mandvi investigating the nutball faction in a California town going nuts that kids at a local school are studying Mandarin Chinese language & culture, because anything which comes from Commonist Chyner is Commonist. (Wal-Mart products and electronics components presumably excepted.)

    Maybe the best part was the dumb woman leading the anti-Mandarin rebellion complaining about how the syllabus and agenda for the kids was all secret, no one could see it, and Mandvi asked the guy in charge of the program and not only did he give this to Mandvi but pointed out where he could get it publicly, and then Mandvi handed it to Mrs Right Wing Dumbass who acted all surprised.

    @Libby:
    Libby, in IE, I find the formatting changes each time I hit refresh. I think there could be something in some of the ads that messes up IE. So if one of those ads lands on the page, it messes it up. Refresh, a new ad shows up, page is okay.

    @middlewest: “The Big Shaggy”?

    Does Brooks actually not know about “shagging”? These guys are like poets turned inside out, with no sense whatsoever of what other phrases and words theirs might evoke.

    You can see The Big Shaggy at work when a governor of South Carolina suddenly chucks it all for a love voyage south of the equator,

    Yes. Yes, you can.

    The best part is the last line though:

    If you’re dumb about The Big Shaggy, you’ll probably get eaten by it.

    Yes, but only if you stay out after midnight.

    @middlewest: I read that hopeless Brook’s piece this morning and was just amazed at how ridiculous it was. Does he not have an editor?

    Between Brooks, Douhat, Friedman and MoDo, I am at my wit’s end with reading the NYT Op-Ed pages (after almost 30 years). It’s a fucking minefield of mediocrity. I think that mindless Bill Kristol poisoned it or something and turned it into the Love Canal for political commentary.

    I torment my eldest who is a student at Brooks’ alma mater (UChicago) — by sending her his nonsense. She’s lost her sense of humor over it.

    @Violet: Thanks. Now that you mention it, I think that is what happens. Page showing up perfectly right now anyway. But it was a really weird format thing that I got starting with @MMonides post before. It was like the whole front page format had changed to a different font and the margins all changed. It wasn’t just that the text lines were running long which is what usually happens.

    @MMonides: can’t use the other browsers on this old puter for some reason. They all either hang up or crash. Maybe because it’s ten years old now and overloaded with a bunch of useless saved stuff.

    Oh and welcome aboard. Since I’m just a fringer here and not a fully vetted juicer, my soul is probably still somewhat redeemable… ;~)

    Pretty much. But more like: “Hey, look at the effeminate faggy fag fag! That guy is such a fag!” (Tho’ don’t get me wrong, “vagina” is funny.)

    File this under “Chivalry is dead.” Scratch that, chivalry’s too strong a term. File it under “Don’t kiss and tell is dead.” So Nikki Haley’s allegedly a hypocrite and all, but what kind of freak comes out and goes on TV and says, “Hey, I fucked her!” That’s just bizarre.

    @eco2geek:
    “I had inappropriate physical relations…sexual relations…we had sex.”

    Okay, so normally, pointing out he *seems* gay wouldn’t be funny, except he’s the ‘other man’ in an alleged affair. That makes it all kinds of funny.

    And his description of the wild night of passion that took place shortly after midnight on the fourteenth? Hot. It just…exudes passion. If they did have sex, it was probably like the rodeo. You know, where 8 seconds is a long ride.

    @mapaghimagsik: That Larry guy was hilariously weird. I think he’d be at home as the host on one of those evangelical Christian cable TV shows. Despite Stewart making fun of him for seeming gay, it’s hard to imagine him having sex with anyone of either gender.

    You admonish:

    and then break your own rule in the very next sentence,

    A lot of us ‘fags’ don’t take to kindly to being fed your particularly odious brand of shit sandwich.

    Why are you so eager to be so odious? Or do I misunderstand? Were you somehow using that word you detest so much to illustrate a point? If that’s the case, um, irony.
