Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

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

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

He really is that stupid.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

This really is a full service blog.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

Shut up, hissy kitty!

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

    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:

    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?
