Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

“Alexa, change the president.”

We still have time to mess this up!

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

I really should read my own blog.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

“But what about the lurkers?”

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

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

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

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

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

    Just wanted to say thanks to all the fine people who came by my dogsofsf.com ‘help name a puppy’ blog posting, after I posted about it last night in the open thread. I don’t think the pup’s owners have decided yet, but we had enough suggestions that I wasn’t mortified by the lack.

    @Adam Lang: Let us know what they decide, will you? That’s one cute pup.

    AL, snert. I think linking up with the LOLCats will only enhance Gawker’s image.

    soonergrunt, still thinking of you, man.

    Awhile back there was a BJ post that referenced terror acts committed by conservatives.

    Anyone have that link? My google-fu is weak this morning.

    thanks!

    Incidentally, Gawker tells us, the AP has decided against signing a contract with the ICanHasCheezburger company, for fear of damaging their “journalistic integrity”.

    I haz a sad.

    Oh, good Lord. Not Duffy.

    I’m assuming this song is the best she’s got, because it’s the one that’s gotten airplay.

    And it’s deadly boring. Monotonous.

    This song is aiming for Aretha, but is missing some essential spark. It’s flat, it’s dull, and the problem with its being imitative isn’t that it is imitative, but that it’s such a poor-quality knockoff.

    First time I heard this song, I wanted to like it. But every time I heard it, it just got worse. It sucks.

    Open threadishness —

    Does anyone know anything about the right wing “jokes” that are set in Chuck E. Cheese? I’ve seen them popping up quite a bit lately and I can’t figure out where they’re coming from.

    Here’s a sample — notice it hits all the high notes:


    (Clarence Chesterland is a Shift Manager at Chuck E. Cheese)

    Dear Clarence,

    My Better Half and I are two openly Gay men and for the almost forty years that we have been together sharing our lives the Federal government and especially those wonderful judges have done so much for all the members of GLAAD and the other friends in the family of man even to the extent of allowing my Better Half and I to adopt three wonderful children here in our State of the Union (two boys are in college and Tom Jr. is a senior in high school) and now at long last Better Half and I will be allowed to legally marry in the great State of California what with the recent and I must add the “correct” same (sane) sex marriage ruling on Proposition 8 in the Ninth Circuit Court and by the way thanks also to our crack immigration officers on the Arizona border for our new pool boy, Happy Jose, from Guatemala, but our fight is never over and we now need more help because Better Half and I have been studying the Koran together for some 16 years and we want to become Muslims, but those folks will not accommodate our lifestyle orientation so how can we be helped in what is surely the most serious of civil rights matters the oversight of which will surely have to be answered by the issuance of a Federal decree to change those precepts, rules and practices of a religion that doesn’t allow Gay men to worship in their mosques?

    Sincerely yours,
    Tom

    Dear Tom …

    Gee … I don’t know … that question is way above my pay grade …
    You might want to ask our District Manager … but
    You and your Better Half should consider Chuck E. Cheese for the reception following your nuptials.
    Best of luck and good skeet balling to both of you guys

    signed
    Clarence
