Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

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

Come on, man.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Optimism opens the door to great things.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

    If someone here doesn’t race to the bottom of the gutter with an answer soon I’m gonna have to.

    Don’t make me do it.

    The CNN headlines says: “‘Heartbroken’ Obama offers support to Japan”

    Quick office pool — what is the wingnut response?

    My guess: this shows how weak Obama is.

    @cathyx:

    The Libya situation could be a big mess, and is likely to start tonight. Gaddafi isn’t going to go down without a fight and making a big mess out of things, and oil prices are going to go through the roof again.

    From what I’ve read, Clinton is the one banging the war drum – nobody else in the administration is.

    Hilarious ad of the week: Microsoft says they’re helping DOD with “cybersecurity options”.

    You mean like ditching all MS products and going with something that isn’t designed to be insecure in the first place?

    The older I get the more I come to believe that the ONLY thing ‘conservatives’ really stand for is, “what can I do, to piss off those people I don’t like, today”.

    Cutting funding for Public Radio the way the bill passed in the house does, will not lower anyone’s tax bill. It won’t do anything except silence a source of national news if it passed and they KNOW it won’t pass. The Republican politicians know this is something that they can brag about to their base.

    I honestly think they did it because, “liberals like it, so we must destroy it”. I don’t think the ‘base’ thinks any deeper than that.

    Speaking of, um, going off, what sign should we take that Louisville was beat by Morehead State and Kentucky damned near got beat by a team led by a player named Hummer?

    Balloonbagger Etiquette Update
    It is now considered weak and unserious to tell progressives and liberals you have never met that you wish they would “die in a fire” (DIAF). The correct manly phrase to visit upon them (and you know I’m including you, Angry Black LINO) is now “die in a nuclear fire” (DIANF).

    @ the Dangerman:

    Not to mention Richmond taking out Vandy.

    Millions of brackets, meet shredder.

    Louisville totally blew up my Southwest division. I did, however, have Richmond beating Vandy. I should have known better than to pick Louisville!

    Is Jimmer Fredette the next white player that could save the NBA? ala Larry Bird. I know I know it was Bird and Magic, but I asking the QUESTION, that isn’t supposed to be asked.

    Here’s a bottle of Liquid Plumb’r and a straw. You know what to do.

    So, you wish to assist in my painful death?

    Let the record show that you are a depraved individual, who should be ashamed of himself. IOW, a perfect specimen of a balloonbagger.

    Thank you for your public honesty.

    I picked Morehead State, but I had them losing to Vandy. I got the Zags over St. John, though. Not bad considering I haven’t paid any attention to basketball for a couple of years. I did the picks in about 10 minutes this morning. I wouldn’t mind having my bracket blown if the Illini beat Kansas, but it ain’t gonna happen.

    @Mr Stagger Lee: No way! He’s not as good as Danny Ainge. Someone on TV was comparing him to Scott Skiles. he’s a little bigger than Scott. Probably has more outside shooting range. Not the passer or free throw shooter that Scott was. Don’t know about defense as (heard this, not original) his only defensive responsibility is to not get in foul trouble.

    I would compare him to that asshole from Duke a couple of years ago. Plays for the Magic. Decent player, get’s some minutes. Not a star though.
