Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

In my day, never was longer.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Come on, man.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

    Please don’t post a link without explaining the link. That is small and unproud behavior.

    Please continue.

    From the files of wingnut hypocrisy.

    “I came to the House as a real deficit hawk, but I am no longer a deficit hawk. I’ll tell you why. I had to spend the surpluses. Deficits make it easier to say no.”

    — Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), quoted by The Hill in 2003.

    And now of course, he is back on the deficit hawk wagon. Why, because wingnuts like Santorum only have one issue they are for doing the opposite of what liberals want to do. Like a caged rat beating the hell out of the cocaine button.

    Republicans Poised To Filibuster Liu Nomination
    Up or down votes are so George Bush these days, it’s all about courageous republicans saving the realm from flesh eating zombie progressive federal judges.

    Sens. Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the current and former ranking members of the Judiciary Committee, released a strongly worded “alert” Wednesday arguing against the confirmation.

    If confirmed by the Senate, Liu “would advance his progressive philosophy for years to come, doing incalculable damage to the constitutional system of limited government and federalism envisioned by our founding fathers,” the senators said in the statement.

    Uh oh. It’s sternly worded alert time. Yadda yadda yadda, liberal big government bleedy heart gonna take yer guns away, and make you see guberment doctors for your butthurt. But per usual, when the wingnuts start beating their chests, and circling the wagons, it usually is for the same ole reason it always is.

    Some Republicans also are still seething over his written testimony against Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito in 2006.

    “Judge Alito’s record envisions an America where police may shoot and kill an unarmed boy to stop him from running away with a stolen purse … where a black man may be sentenced to death by an all-white jury for killing a white man,” Liu wrote. “I humbly submit that this is not the America we know. Nor is it the America we aspire to be.”

    HURT FEE FEES

    What evil does this Asian person speak, why can’t we have a country were the cops can gun folks down for running away.

    The testimony was “vicious, emotionally and racially charged, very intemperate, and to me it calls into question your ability to approach and characterize people’s positions in a fair and judicious way,” Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) said last year.

    Racially charged?, coming from an Asian American/ Wingnuts Playing the Corleone Card for no reason.

    Liu acknowledged that this language was “unnecessarily flowery.”

    Teehee, done in by flowery language. And yes, you read correctly, Mr. Liu is championed by none other than Kenneth Starr. Things ain’t natural anymore. They are all weird and fucked up.

    Well, I must say, it’s the spry nonagenarian that can link to the YouTubes (unless your nephew helped you, m’be). And it’s not to just some old, grainy Frank Sinatra footage, at that (not there there’d be anything wrong with the that). That’s quite a fetching tune. I shall be checking our more of this Ms. Miller lass.

    Forked tongue

    For the record, that song was written and originally recorded by the great, great Arthur Alexander, the only artist to have either written or recorded the first version of songs that would later be covered by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Elvis Presley.

    (In order: he wrote “Anna,” “You Better Move On,” and “Sweet Sally Sue Brown,” and didn’t write but did record the first version of “Burning Love.”)

    Hey, I hadn’t ever heard this song before. I quite like – thanks!

    Is the album any good? What would you recommend in her discography?

    Hi JC – That track is off her first covers album called Car Tape, and I would be hard pressed to come up with a track off it that I don’t love.

    I have just bought Car Tape 2, and it seems almost as good.

    Of her self-penned albums, I think Version Originale is the best. I also have a soft spot for her cover of “I hope I never“.

    @JC:

    She’s got song samples on iTunes. Or, if you don’t swing that way, on amazon. She seems to be more alt-country than this song would indicate (alt-county meaning, to me, stuff what sounds like it’s from before the dawning of the Hank Williams, Jr., era). I like the “These Boots Are Made for Walkin'”/Holly Golightly/Rhohypnol vibe of this particular cover (it’s off an album of covers called “Car Tape”).

    Well, hopefully you’re at least drunk or something to compensate for that, “Hey! Where’s the rest of the world go?!” feeling of it just being you and the night nurses who are up.

    I love your taste in music. And thanks for the recent turn-on to Adele’s Set Fire to the Rain. You have no idea how much I’ve played that song in the last few days.
