Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

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

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Let there be snark.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

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

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Come on, man.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

The willow is too close to the house.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

“They all knew.”

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

    Kerry sent me an email this morning asking for money for both Russ and for Coons in Delaware.

    I gave to both. (his links are to ActBlue as well) Nice to see sitting senators working to help these guys.

    It’s Wisconsin.

    Should be Beer Bomb; or, Beer Bong (which is an Improvised Chugging Device), or ICD.

    @Sue: Some of us do. That doesn’t mean I’m not upset with him for weakening Wall Street reform but he does a good job and this year could be tough and his race is just one of four I’m worried about in my district. We lost Dave Obey my congressman, Mary Hubler my state representative, and Governor Jim Doyle this year and all those races are looking to be tough!

    Look for the link to the dog/wolf hybrids that are loose. Can’t get a direct link for it…..

    I was checking out the NH results from yesterday and saw the above. OMG. Head for the hills! Or the trees! Or Petsmart.

    I donated this morning through ActBlue, but hate to miss out on anything called “cheddarbomb.” Is there a cheddarbomb page on Actblue?

    @folkbum: Sorry, I missed this – you already did! That merits a second donation so I can get in on the cheddarbomb. I propose that we come up with amusing names for as many future moneybombs as possible. The only rule is that they have to have some actual relation to the geographic area or candidate.

    @fourlegsgood: In honor of the quarterback the Pack killed this weekend, we could name it the Kolbe bomb. Fun fact: Colby Jack cheese was invented in Arena, WI.

    @BGinCHI:
    Here’s a direct link. They’re using frames, so you keep the same URL no matter how many links you click, unless you tell it to open the link in another window or tab. Or you can right click on the link and use the “copy link location” option.

    @Comrade Colette Collaboratrice: I’m good with that, although I was really thinking of something a bit more concise. For instance, any Dem from Minnesota would get a NiceBomb. And I think Barbara Boxer should definitely have a bomb based on her name, but so far all I’ve come up with is a Powbomb.

    I got a “cheddarbomb” e-mail from Chuck Schumer this morning. I’m doing what I can for my Congressman (Gary Peters – Mich. 9). Got my OFA Vote 2010 package a week and a half ago to which I promptly place my “this household supports President Obama” sign in our front window.

    @Martin:

    what the fuck shouldn’t be deep fried and served with mustard and beer?

    mustard and beer.
    because that could lead to a disgusting infinite regression.

    You live somewhere near me except we lost Gary Sherman instead of Hubler. Sherman was an excellent State rep. and I am really sorry to see him go. He will make an excellent judge however.

    I live in a 60-40 Dem. area and we had 65-35 Dem. results in our primary. How did your area do?

    Russ Feingold is a great guy and an excellent Senator. He rarely deserts his principles for political expediency. That sometimes gets him in trouble with his own party but I will take him in a heartbeat over any politician I can think of. He answers every inquiry and comment that I direct his way , and even called me on the phone himself once. He is the diametric opposite of the Tea bag idiot he is against this year.

    I know what we’ve got in Russ Feingold, that’s
    why I voted for Ed Garvey yesterday. I may have been the only one.

    And I might doit in November.

    ActBlue, unless he decides to go his own way…. Again.

    @Roger Moore: Deep-fried durian with mustard sounds more like a chemical weapon than a food. Or like something that reality-show guy Joe Rogan — what was his show called, Fear Factor? — would have eaten.

    @p.a. #26: I have to admit, I’m giving him a polite golf clap for not backing down in the face of the caterwauling. On the other hand, though, it wasn’t Rush Limbaugh telling him to recant, so I guess he figures he can stick to his guns with impunity.

    @Amir_Khalid:
    Oddly enough, I have talked to people about durian and Fear Factor before. We concluded that durian wouldn’t be a good choice for a show like that. The thing that’s disgusting about durian is the smell, which TV just can’t convey. The average American viewer would just see the contestants eating this strange looking but not obviously disgusting mystery food, which just isn’t good TV.

    Could you add Tom Barrett (running for governor of Wisconsin) to the ActBlue list?

    He’s in a tight race and is a guy not afraid to step in the middle of a domestic abuse argument and take some hits to defend a mother and child.

    And while I am asking Santa, how about Denish (running for governor of New Mexico); she’s up against a dirty campaign machine being run by Martinez.

    Thanks.
