Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

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

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Everybody saw this coming.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

Republicans in disarray!

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

We still have time to mess this up!

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

“But what about the lurkers?”

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

It’s almost Thanksgiving, so let us give thanks.

Our government is rapidly becoming a joke; it’s turned into a punchline. You’ve got George Bush making jokes about the TSA’s new policy of sexually assaulting nearly every person who comes within an eight mile radius of the airport. (And yes, in my view, it is sexual assault. I don’t want some random stranger groping my twins and caressing my lady areas. I mean, hell. If you’re going to feel me up, at least take off the gloves… and then call me the next day.)

Sadly, this is the post-9/11 hellscape we live in. But there’s a bright side. Well, a dim side, really. We can be thankful for one thing: Sharron Angle did not win the election. If she had, this country would have been confronted with so much stupid that our bowl of stupid would figuratively have runneth over.

Check out this campaign video that Sharron Angle put together but that her handlers decided was too ridiculous to release to the public:



You’re welcome. I’m sorry.

    Clearly you have lingering self-esteem issues. Demand that these guys buy you dinner first. You are worth it.

    The first thought I had while watching that?

    “I wonder how much those actors are getting paid? Because they suck.”

    Nice comment on the YouTube page for that vid:

    The most vulnerable in our society are the very young and the very old. Viruses like the flu (and conservatism) tend to be the most harmful to these age groups.

    I just watched it with the sound off and the stupid really came through in the visuals nicely.

    It was supposed to show that old people in Nevada who are wandering around in an area behind a shopping mall are crazy, right?

    Am I missing something?

    I don’t get the controversy over the TSA; you only get the groping if you turn down going through the full body scanner machine and the same people complaining about the full body scanning machine are those that went ape shit over the Christmas Day bomber. Cmon, make up your minds, you can’t bitch over both.

    (Full Disclosure: I haven’t flown since before 9/11; I like Terra Firma)

    And it’s oh dear, what can the matter be
    Seven old ladies stuck in the lavatory
    They were there from Sunday till Saturday
    Nobody knew they were there

    I don’t know why that popped into my head watching this.

    @ Alex S: were you thinking about the scene where Las Vegas becomes ground zero after The Trashcan Man “accidentally” nukes Vegas? :-)

    @Faux News:

    Well the background music sounds like the end of the world and I was sure that one of these old people had to be Mother Abigail. But I’m also reading the Dark Tower at the moment so I see it everywhere ;-).

    We dodged a big crazy bullet with Angle going down to defeat. Harry Reid must think he is immortal for his good luck.

    My fav of recent Angle nutbug quotes was this one. Apparently, her staff was terrified it would get out to the public, but it didn’t/ Rand Paul seems like an wise elder statesman compared with this loony tune.

    aren’t these doddering old coots in nevada the same ones who smirked when al gore wanted to put social security’s funds in a lockbox?

    what would be REALLY SCARY would be: old codger cracks open the lid, and out pops caribou barbie!

    I needed a laugh today. ABL cracks me up. I love the commentary and the titles. And this ad is priceless!

    @Hal:

    yeah, I saw that earlier…..hilarious.

    I’d pay to see a catfight um…..debate, between those two. I kind of think the Bargoyle would stomp Princess Sarah into itty bitty pieces. Or feed her a poison apple, or something.

    Also, notice that Mommy and Poppy both think little Georgie’s book is really GOOD. He might even get that South American country he asked Santa to bring him for Christmas.

    I won’t call the next day, but I will at least buy you a couple of drinks first.

    I need to find my inner teatard so that I can channel it.

    I refuse to believe that ad is real.

    Even if someone manages to prove it is real.

    I’m just not going to believe it.

    I think that commercial would have been hysterical if the box had contained Gwyneth Paltrow’s head.

    ETA: I mean, even more hysterical.

    We won’t be laughing in 2012 when Sarah Palin ups this ad a notch by having all the seniors shot by black-clad “UN one world gov’t” soldiers carrying out an Obamacare-authorized death-strike

    Oh yes we will. And I have zero doubt the teatards mocked the Thirteen from the future ad MoveOn.org made too. Because absurdity should be humorous. It’s just, well, we tend to get the jokes.

    @Yutsano: OK, fine, we’ll be laughing, the kind of nervous laughter that indicates we’re all about to be turned into soylent green by the inevitable Republican economic deathstrike caused after Sarah Palin and her Teabagging acolytes return us to the gold standard, cut all non-defense spending and eliminate taxes + regulations for the rich/corporations.

    Sadly, I think I’d like that alleged fakery to happen for real.
