Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Second rate reporter says what?

Elections aren’t won by handwringing, cowering, and/or bashing your own candidates.

So many bastards, so little time.

Everybody saw this coming.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Come on, man.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

He really is that stupid.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

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

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

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

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

    Along these lines, while stuck in traffic on Thanksgiving Eve I was mercifully behind a pick-up sporting countless entertaining DFH slogans, among them this gem: “Support Media Literacy”

    But the one that made me LOL read “CAN SOMEONE MAKE THE SCARY REPUBLICAN GO AWAY”

    Remind me to never read Ruth Marcus again. I found the article, and yes, it’s as vacuous and stupid as you would expect. WTF is up with the Washington Post that they think this nonsense deserves a public forum?

    Whatever life form digs us up in 50 million years or so will probably assume some intellect munching virus overtook humans or wonder what evolutionary pressure caused idiocy to dominate in the later years of humans.

    @Scamp Dog: Hey, it’s the seven-day Thanksgiving holiday for corporate America and Ruth just phoned one in. Her editors probably approved her column via text over gin-n-tonnies.

    Was that based on the NY Times story about Romney’s hair from this morning? I’m not sure what would be worse, that both of what are ostensibly the leading newspapers “chose” to cover such a crucial subject on the same day, or if the Post saw the Times story and decided that it needed the journalistic equivalent of re-Tweeting.

    I did leave a comment on the Times story to the effect that with Romney’s track record of consistency, we should expect him to be sporting a Mohawk within a month or so. Amazingly, it was published.

    In a country that sneered at Al Gore for wearing earth tones and growing a beard and so elected a drooling drunken idiot to its highest office, that article is hard hitting political commentary.

    Sadly, Ruth is one of the saner pundits that is carried in my local fish wrap, the “even the librul StarTribune.

    We are well and truly fucked

    God(s) save us! Whenever I convince myself I am not living in the last days of the Roman Empire something like this comes along to kick me back into the pit of depression.

    Garcon, another martini!

    Hmmmmm.

    There was a front page story in today’s Times on Romney’s hair.

    Two separate stories in two separate papers, appearing on the same day, on something as silly as one candidate’s hair.

    Sounds like some PR memo on Romney’s hair has been making the rounds.

    Well, at least this time round they’re writing inane wardrobe pieces about the boys too.

    Progress, sort of.

    @David Koch: Sounds like they were sitting in the same bar Monday afternoon trying to come up with some shit to fill Friday’s newshole without doing any work over the holiday.

    I’m waiting for FourLoko to show up to tell us how discrimination on the basis of hairstyle is commendable behavior because humans evolved to consider the douchebag hairstyle to be an indicator of virility, and therefore, all those who don’t conform to the appearance standard must be shunned.

    That would be the only thing stupider than that article.

    @Mike in NC: Don’t hold your breath; the Villagers are afraid to find out whether Millard ‘Witt’ Romney really wears ‘temple garments’. Or at least, they’re afraid of being accused of taking an unseemly interest in the “weird” magical underpants…

    Okay, I’m all for starting a new campaign – Mitt’s hair is just so goddamn awesome, let’s elect it for President in 2012. As I put it on my blog:

    “It’d certainly be just as competent at Presidenting than the rest of the GOP candidates, probably is more able with foreign and domestic policy than Bachmann or Perry or Santorum, and is less likely than Herman Cain to pinch a female reporter’s ass. And it’s just so goshdarn charismatic!

    Obviously the GOP has but one choice for their candidate next year:

    Mitt Romney’s Hair, 2012
    We Could Hardly Do Worse At This Point.    “
