Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Good lord, these people are nuts.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Let there be snark.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

In my day, never was longer.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

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).
