Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

This blog will pay for itself.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

I really should read my own blog.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

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

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Not all heroes wear capes.

    I love this song. It is my official “get psyched to watch the Ravens beat the Steelers” theme song.

    INTRODUCTION AND PREAMBLE
    >>
    When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for the Citizens of a Nation to petition their own Government for a redress of grievances, the People have a duty to exercise their rights under the First Amendment collectively if they so choose. To this end, We the People hereby assert our right to peacefully assemble and petition our Government for redress when we feel that this is our best, and perhaps only remaining option to seek remedies.
    >>
    We affirm that any lasting and workable solution must reach beyond mere politics, that political issues do not matter at a time when our collective voice has been nearly silenced. We believe that the current political climate has caused a paralysis of our Government. We find that our individual opinions mean little when we are no longer being properly represented. In fact, we believe that the Balance of Power between the Branches of our Government has been corrupted to the point where it can answer only to members of an affluent and politically active upper class. The impending result of this imbalance is that government of the People, by the People, for the People has almost perished from Our Nation. We believe that government has been influenced by an external source that has conspired to control it to the point of stalemate. We believe that this was forced upon us by “special interests”, corporations, lobbyists, the banking and the financial sector including Wall Street and the Federal Reserve, who together have used unrestrained financial leverage leading to the corruption of many politicians, regardless of their political party, resulting in great damage to the People and to this Nation.

    @bin Lurkin’: Bit of a mish-mash of the Declaration of Independence, Gettysburg Address, and other historical documents. If one wants to have an impact, like the source docs did, it is best to be original.

    I love Gogol Bordello! John Cole, you have impeccable taste!

    “Start Wearing Purple” was played in the end credits for the movie “Everything Is Illuminated.”

    I’m partial to “Wonderlust King myself.

    Hell, “Super Taranta!” is a great album.

    @bin Lurkin’: They weren’t updated; the phrases were strung together with some modern language as filler. I am a fan of literary and historical allusions, but these were not well done.

    @Omnes Omnibus: With all due respect, and I mean that truly, the document speaks truths to me, it could be done better perhaps but your audience are not fans of historical and literary allusions for the most part.

    Lots of real ‘Murkin buzzwords worked into something that actually makes a good deal of sense.

    Omnes Omnibus

    @bin Lurkin’: I am not going to fight with you about it. I agree with the principles expressed, but if I can pick out most of the source documents while drunk and playing with 80s music on YouTube, the writing is not original. It doesn’t allude to or cite historical documents; instead, it plunders them. YMMV.

    The whole faculty can party at one guy’s house? Either you live in a palace or that’s one small college.
