Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

The willow is too close to the house.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

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

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

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

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

I was promised a recession.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Republicans in disarray!

    I mentioned this in the last thread, but since this is an open thread, I’ll say it again. Guess who Penn State have hired to provide legal advice to the university president. It’s quite amazing.

    This is pretty hilarious. AP via GOS:

    Business mogul Donald Trump said Friday he might scrub a presidential debate that so far has drawn only Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.

    __
    Trump was most indignant about Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann skipping out.
    __
    “She came up to see me four times. She would call me and ask me for advice,” Trump said. “She said if she wins, she would like to think about me for the vice presidency. Most importantly, I did a two-hour phone call for her with her people. … And after all that, she announced she was not going to do the debate. It’s called loyalty. How do you do that? It’s amazing to me.”

    Loyalty. This from the guy who said he might run as an independent if he doesn’t like the GOP nominee.

    I don’t think that word means what you think it means, Donald.

    I wish someone in either party would tell Perry to his face that he’s a fucking idiot and that he should just stop campaigning. Forever.

    Dunno if this was covered in a previous topic, but just in case:

    “Lowe’s pulls ads from ‘All-American Muslim’ after ‘ordinary’ portrayal protested”

    Under protest from the “Florida Family Association”, Lowe’s, and reputedly other companies, have pulled ads from the show because apparently, considering a Muslim Family as “All American” is to support jihad by minimizing its threat.

    “The show profiles only Muslims that appear to be ordinary folks while excluding many Islamic believers whose agenda poses a clear and present danger to liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish,” the group said about the show, a docu-soap chronicling everyday Muslim families in Dearborn, Michigan. “Clearly this program is attempting to manipulate Americans into ignoring the threat of jihad and to influence them to believe that being concerned about the jihad threat would somehow victimize these nice people in this show.”

    Stunningly, it seems like this is the kind of stuff this show is trying to dispute. But no, we can’t have that, because we all know every Muslim is a terrorist or a secret terrorist waiting to kill us all in our beds. Nope, can’t be real Americans at all ever, they’re bloodthirsty monsters, to the last.

    Good fuck all….

    Now why would a Democrat do that when Perry is so good at illustrating for the American public that the GOP is just as dumb and bigoted as we’ve been saying all along?

    “… liberties and traditional values” like freedom of speech, separation of church and state, and equal opportunity?

    I normally really love MVRDV’s work, butthis is ridiculous.

    I have a coworker I wanna punch in the teeth.

    And I have a sore throat and feel crappy.

    @JGabriel: Nope. Those values where we get angry and then panicky so we can pass laws and then Chinese can’t get married and need to cut their hair a certain way. Those kinds of things never get old.

    One of my favorite books has a new edition. I may need to find another $70 in the hobby fund and update my library.
    Watchmaking, by George Daniels, MBE
    This volume is the gold standard on the art and craft of hand fabricating portable mechanical timepieces. It has history, design, micro-machining, and technical illustration of fetishistic exactitude. For a certain kind of nerd it’s irresistible.
