Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Let there be snark.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

We still have time to mess this up!

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

    Yay, open thread!
    About 15 minutes ago I heard this loud noise, a car had run into the light rail station in the middle of Tasman Drive here in Sunnyvale, about…100 or so feet from where I live. It was lying across the NB light rail tracks, and had run into concrete benches/electrical equipment. It looks like the drive is okay, but it obviously has everyone living here rubbernecking. Don’t take the NB light rail to Mountain View tonight if you are in Santa Clara County.

    From the left:
    1. ???
    2. ???
    3. Newt
    4. Bachmann
    5. ???
    6. Paul?
    7. Cain?

    One of those must be Pawlenty. Is Mitt in there? Or is it only already-declared candidates?

    @cathyx: From right- Caine, Paul, Romney, Bachmann, Gingrich, and I can’t place the others. Pawlentey, Huckabee?

    It’s a pretty good caricature job.

    It’s kind of creepy that Bambi is saying, “Please don’t shoot me” given that wingnuts refer to Obama as “Obambi.”

    This raise the question of why Rudolf would be included.

    Sarah Palin running would be like Christmas? I dunno. Why in the hell is William Shakespeare there?

    Everything old is new again — they laid the same joke on the Dem field in ’88, I think.

    Gary Hart was Snow White, then you had Dukakis, Gephardt, Bruce Babbitt, Biden, Paul Simon, Gore, and Jackson.

    @Violet:

    Re Pawlenty – it’s pretty bad when you’re so indistinct in every way that you can’t be recognizably characterized by a professional cartoonist. Maybe Ohman should try making him a talking dishrag, like the feather for Quayle in Doonesbury.

    It seemed like only yesterday when then candidate Obama was being mocked and ridiculed for being a celebrity.

    Along comes Sarah of the two books, Fox News commentatin’ gigs, Discovery reality show, special guest on Dancin’ With the Stars and now the greatest film actor since John Galt.

    It’s fucking funny.

    @GregB:

    It’s fucking funny.

    I think you misspelled pathetic. Though in fairness, the Obama as celebrity story was pretty ineffective. It didn’t seem to convince anyone who wasn’t leaning hard in McCain’s direction already.

    Objection – Sarah Palin is “Snow White” to the same extent that I am a black lesbian Australian.

    I really thought her fifteen minutes of fame had dwindled down… very disappointed to see her rearing her ugly head again. I honestly thought that even the right-wing was largely done with her, that she was regarded as a liability and an embarrassment. My perception was that she was appearing in fewer news stories and the discussion forums after such stories were considerably shorter than they had been, that even the discussion forum peanut gallery had said pretty much all it had to say. Yet here she is again. In the words of Bill the Cat: Pffpht!

    It’s a measure of the state of the GOP race that it’s hard to identify who the dwarves are. I got Newt (fat-face), Bachmannia (the crazy-eyed witch in the middle), Mittens (super-jaw), and Raising Cain (the mustache, but the others are too obscure.
