Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

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

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

    From the looks of this post, Cole clearly left off the necessary “John +8” at the bottom…

    You found yourself some wings. Enjoy the distant roads that are calling you.

    Eh? Are you coming to Canada?

    eh other (sometimes: e.h. other) was an American poet. he shocked the poetry world in 1932 when he released his first book, “anal lysis and me aning of pems”. this book introduced the world to his trademark “word frag meant” technique, which relied on splitting words into fragments which could then deliver meaning beyond what the whole words could.

    the titular poem was an instant hit:

    Anal Lysys.
    Up on the die ing of the day
    Light, the ink wis it ive
    Anal list anal eyes ez hims elf.
    Picks at t he scabs grown ing
    Over the fresh wo unds
    Of his after no on.

    many people considered the style too difficult to read, and the technique too obvious. indeed, a number of abridged volumes were published which reprinted the poems with the words un-split, for clarity. but an equal, and frankly more-vocal, number thought it a brilliant commentary on contemporary man’s fragmented and unfocused attention span – a problem that has only increased in the decades since.

    today, eh is nearly forgotten. his style quickly fell out of favor with a public that, ironically, was so eager for new experiences that it discarded him before his second book, which contained his masterpiece “wai tingfor the the rapist”, was even finished. when it was eventually published, in 1934, it sold poorly and most copies were shredded.

    such is fame.

    Be nice to eh other.

    It is nice to eh an other, rather than having to eh yourself all the time.

    I’ll be nice to whoever I goddam well please to be nice to.

    And if this article in the Times is accurate, that surely won’t include Kenneth Feinberg, the administrator of BP’s $20 billion compensation fund.

    In order to get a payout from the fund, claimants have to agree not to sue TransOcean, Halliburton, and Cameron (the manufacturer of the failed blowout preventer)?

    Fuck no. And fuck you very much for asking.

    eh, what fools these other mortals be!
    stand aside: the noise they make
    will cause the others to awake.

    and those other things they do best please me
    that befall preposterously.

    @burnspbesq: What’s the prob with ensuring the entire Gulf coast doesn’t double dip? Otherwise, why wouldn’t someone bitch and moan themselves into a nice $100K settlement, then turn around and class-action themselves into another half-milly?

    Gotta to be some restrictions. I cant wait to see taxicab drivers in Jax and Atlanta and scuba instructors in Daytona all trying to claim “injury” from this spill. Gunna make a ton of lawyers filthy rich.

    Cole means “Be nice to each other” I suppose.

    Cole is trolling his own site again, and I predict a firestorm.

    @Punchy:

    What’s the prob with ensuring the entire Gulf coast doesn’t double dip?

    Consider, just for a moment, the possibility that the conduct of some or all of the potential defendants is so egregious that it justifies an award of punitive damages. Punitive damages have a public benefit (deterrence) that exists entirely apart from the windfall to the plaintiff.

    The only way to get these fuckers’ attention is to hit them in the corporate treasury – preferably the biggest possible hit. Take the possibility of punitive damages out of the equation, and you’re left with what other means to modify behavior?

    @cleek:

    Try Bruce Cockburn. In addition to being a great singer and guitarist, he’s written so much music over his 40-year career that there is a title or a quote for just about any occasion:

    Example:

    “Everybody
    Wants to see
    Justice done
    On somebody else.”

    @Comrade Mary: Thank you for that! It makes me happy to see these guys, older & considerably wider than they were when that song was blasting from every transistor radio, still out there enjoying their jobs.
