Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In my day, never was longer.

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

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Accountability, motherfuckers.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

    The loss of the porn restrictions explains China’s new place as the world’s largest energy user, especially since the American porn industry has produced a surplus of Asian porn for at least the last thirty years. And they said our manufacturing had all gone overseas!

    So I was looking on this page…

    David Webb, who was the Tea Partier most famous for going on Face The Nation and denouncing the racist elements in his party, will be at that conference with Andrew Breitbart, and we all know what he’s famous for.

    What, no tie-in to China’s one-child policy and the preference for male babies?

    Um, mistermix? Google has not “reopened the censored, mainland version” of its site The http://www.google.cn site contains no content — all that it contains is a large button which redirects to the .hk site. The only change here is that the .cn site no longer returns a redirect to ..hk directly.

    Having reread the AP story, I can see why you might have been misled by it. The AP story says “Google’s China site now includes a tab for users to click to be switched to Hong Kong.” That’s (largely) true as far as it goes, but misses the fact that the Chinese site contains a GIF which redirects to the HK site and no search box.

    Go there yourself; that’s what you’ll see. Alternatively, if you go to any of the contemporaneous stories about this from a month ago, you’ll find a far more complete description of the change.

    Yes, I live in China and just double checked… demimondian is basically correct.

    As mentioned, there is no functioning search on http://www.google.cn. After you click the central area you are directed to the Hong Kong site (if you click one of the few links at the bottom you go to parts still under the .cn domain such as the music site). Once in the HK site, if you do a search for say… Tiananmen Square in Chinese the entire page is blocked. Presumably because Google is still delivering “inappropriate” (uncensored) links.

    Yeah, the Chinese official’s statement that Google is now following the law by not having any “inappropriate” links is true, but that is because it returns NO search responses on the .cn domain.
