Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

When we show up, we win.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

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

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

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Come on, man.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

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

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

    While I like the idea of the ad, there something about a fat guy on a bike with a basket full of beer of that smacks more of a drinking problem and desperation than American gung ho free spirit “in your face OPEC!” ness.

    Also, too, I pulled out the snow blower and did Chloe’s preferred pee area, so Little Miss Picky could squat in comfort. It was the last thing I did after the walks, the driveway, etc, so I was overheated. When the blower kicked up some spray and it hit my face, I was all, “Wow, this is refreshing.” Until I remembered where I was.

    Breaking news headline over at NYTIMES says:

    Senate Rejects Obama Tax Plan, 53-36

    Which got me thinking again about messaging. I wonder how many would see this headline and think; Taxes! Obama! Socialism!

    I’m biased of course, but I think the DKOS headline is far more accurate:

    Senate Republicans vote to raise taxes on middle class

    Suck It Up!

    I am going to send a thank you letter to the New York Daily News for their past two front page headlines:

    Dec. 4th:

    McCain tells 9/11 hero he can’t help on Zadroga bill:
    John McWeasel

    Dec. 3rd:

    GOP to city jobless: DROP DEAD!

    I’m pretty tired of watching the news and having everything reported as “Congress failed to pass…..” or “X bill died because of a divided Congress”. Call them out by name and party.

    I like this ad. Makes me miss my old ‘hood in suburban NJ. Don’t get snow like that in the city.

    Is it even possible to get drunk off of beer? It does nothing for me. I actually drink it for the taste. Which is kinda boring.

    @Elizabelle:

    53-46, huh? Five Dems that want the huge largesse of the increased cut for themselves and their friends and owners, huh.

    Like I’ve said for weeks, the outcome was a foregone conclusion. This vote was Kabuki theater, nothing more.

    Ironic headline from NY TImes

    Senate Rejects Obama Tax Plan, 53-36

    Of course, 53 senators actually voted for Tax Plan (ie extend tax cuts for those under $250k).

    How oh how do I get out of Bizzaro World

    These ads were made by the GREAT Errol Morris.

    If you’ve never seen any of his documentary films, look him up. Great stuff.

    Mr. Prosser

    The ad portrays a guy who was popped for DUI and lost his license. The only way to the liquor store is his kid’s bike. The cheap brew is in the basket, the rotgut vodka is in his coat pockets. Are you ready for some footbaw?
