Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

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

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

This chaos was totally avoidable.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

Everyone’s tuning in right now to see what kind of insightful, civil, moderate things we will say about tonight’s SOTU. So I thought I’d take this opportunity to pimp our store a little bit. The New York Times says coasters are the new throw rugs, so why not pick up one of these bad boys?

We’ve got other stuff too and as far as I know, it’s all for a good cause.

Also too: last time something like a SOTU happened, all the exciting winger action was on twitter, not on the blogs. What teatard types should I be following on twitter?

Update. Here’s the text of SOTU. It’s not searchable but if you scroll down and scan, you should be able to find the phrase “man animal hybrids”.

    Jesus, I need a drink.

    Just finished teaching Titus Andronicus, which seems like light fare compared to having to watch all the asshats at the speech and then Ryan then the MN Whacklady.

    I finally ordered the calendar. Although my mutt is not pictured because she is camera shy, I didn’t want to miss out on having a calendar with all the other b.j. pets. I have two of Lily’s coasters and they are quite special.

    BTW…what’s a bleg?

    SOTU Drinking Game (via Esquire):

    If the president pulls off a victory Tuesday, it’ll bode well for his 2012 season. If the Republicans can turn the crowd against him, though… oh, for chrissakes. If you’re as sick of this extended metaphor as we are — not to mention as sick of politics — you’re also ready for a drink. And for some real football. But it’s two endless weeks before we’ll have any. So here’s your State of the Union Drinking Game, updated for 2011 — musical chairs and all. Got to get through this drudgery somehow….

    ZOMG you totally do not want to do that. Save yourself a headache and follow @MoronWatch who follows the TeaTards for you and Retweets the most hilarious ones….

    @JPL: Bleg–portmanteau of Blog and beg.
    To beg for something in a blog post.

    Speaking of blegging and fund raising, any comments from the rest here on my suggestion that those actually interested in helping Bradley Manning do a fund raiser here like BJ has done for so many politicians and causes, and donate the money to Manning’s defense, instead of sitting around and bitching about Jane Norquist Hamsher?

    @srv:

    Your link is really interesting .. the poster “Prosperity At Home, Prestige Abroad” struck me because with the modern day Teanuts, “prestige abroad” is suddenly a dirty word. Elitist and all that. Real Americans don’t give a crap what those cheese-eaters in Yurp think!

    Only a matter of time before they turn “prosperity at home” into a dirty hippie concept, too.

    @Southern Beale: They don’t care about Yurp only because while it’s too big and powerful to be meaningfully bombable, it’s also uninterested interested in bombing us, and hence becoming a bogeyman.

    Non-US states must be either targets, or Manichaean enemies.

    There is no place in their category-poor schema of the world for such a non-target, non-nemesis, so it must be ignored.

    That plus the fact that its existence, never mind its comparative success, in all its social-democratic glory, is problematic.

    Yurp cannot exist, ergo it does not exist — and their women don’t shave.

    Chris Matthews said on MSNBC before the last commerical break, that “there will be” a special comment from the President on gun control.

    The WH did not want to have the SOTU overshadowed by the gun control debate.

    @Omnes Omnibus: Sure. You’ll be telling me next that they bathe regularly, private automobiles are common, and have their own telephones, in their houses.

    You’re not catching me that easy….

    @Davis X. Machina: Not only that, but most have phones they carry in their pockets and many of the women shave more than American women (if you know what I mean*).

    (*) Or so I have been informed.
