Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Brilliant.

Better Book Titles is a clever tumblr which I have been following for months, but I think this recent example might be my favorite:


You should spend some time looking through the archives. It’s probably more amusing for those of you who are litura-cha enthusiasts.

Open Thread.

    It was over for me with “Will Fuck For Turnips,” by Erskine Caldwell.

    What would Cleanth Brooks have said about that?

    I’ve got a soft spot in my cold black heart for “The Fa–ist and The Furious” myself.

    And “Everybody Poops” should have been titled “Eat, Pray, Racism”

    Cute title.

    Less amusing if you’ve actually struggled through the first section of Capital, which is about making a fetish of money.

    /ETA: The rest of the book is actually pretty interesting and a pretty good read.

    Funny idea, but if those people could find a worse browsing interface, they’d surprise the heck out of me. Worse, they’d probably implement it. What an irritating experience, looking through their archives.

    Fuck me, I missed the one of the best in the lot called “Shit My Dad Says” a.k.a. The Holy Bible.

    Excuse the OT, I am watching Star Trek V, with the originals. I think they are still all alive. Couldn’t they yet get together and do another one, fat and old as they clearly are? I think the canon commands it. I’d like it, for shure.

    Ron Paul is asking for me to help him secure our borders. Are we going to finally build that fence on the Canadian border?

    There is a disturbingly large number of people in this country who would rename “The Handmaid’s Tale” as “Utopia.”

    @burnspbesq: That book seriously freaked me out. Didn’t know why at the time, but I think I realized that a certain segment of the population did see it as Utopia.

    Belafon—-merely a writer’s challenge, it’s only Rock and Roll,but I like it, like it, yes I do.

    occupy wall street is awesome. just gotta say. what’s funny, is this started in Wisconsin, and the kind of people who were protesting in Wisconsin really are worlds apart from the Occupy kids, but it really doesn’t matter. this stuff is infectious in the best possible way. it is truly awesome to see that this country, across the whole spectrum, is finally starting to get it. what we have, sucks. but what we could have, what we could still do is amazing. love it.

    @piratedan:

    No shit.

    Understand, though, that some one or more of the usual idiots is going to show up and rip you a new one for linking to That Tory Rag.

    Only the Guardian is acceptable in these parts. Even though its cricket coverage is le suck.

    @burnspbesq: my apologies, didn’t consider the source, was focused solely on the content. Since I have a son who falls into that small group of being severely affected by peanuts, ingestion and contact, I figured there might be a few others as well.

    @piratedan:

    I was kidding about the Telegraph, and kidding a bit less about the knee-jerk intolerance on offer here.

    The news is seriously good.

    Adam Smith beat Marx to the money fetish in The Wealth of Nations, but none of the wingtards have ever read that, either.

    There Will Be Blood (aka What To Expect When You’re Expecting) made me laugh out loud.

    So did How I Met Your Mother (aka Oedipus the King).
