Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Consistently wrong since 2002

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Second rate reporter says what?

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

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

    Saw that. That’s Human Events level stupid. Hopefully it’s such powerful stupid some of their followers will be awoken by it.

    Nah. Who am I kidding?

    @MikeBoyScout:

    So, by wingnut logic Dr. Paul Krugman is an anti-Semite????

    Naaah, Krugman is Jewish; so by wingnut logic, anything he says that they don’t like is attributable to his being a “self-hating Jew“: a separate-but-equal dismissal…

    Jesus, the little Nazi they quote calls it “Porkulus”, Powerline is some sort of time-warping event horizon, I haven’t read that spectacular loser of a phrase in right-wing media in years and I read a lot of blah blah blah

    @Professor: Yes, but the word anti-semitic was first used for self description by people who only applied it to Jews.

    Just as the teabaggers were the first to call themselves teabaggers, anti-semites were the first to call themselves anti-semites.

    In addition to being bigots they’re stupid too.

    Which has nothing to do with how silly it is to call Paul Krugman an anti-semite.

    Some people at age 17 have ideas that as they mature realize that they were badly formed, unknowledgeable, or naive.

    Other people (cough Randians) act like they have the intellect of a 17 year old their whole life.

    From John Maynard Keynes: The Economist as Savior, by Robert Skidelsky:

    On 25 August 1933, he wrote to Professor Spiethhoff, who was arranging the publication of a German translation of “National Self-Suffiency:

    Forgive me for my words about barbarism. But that word rightly indicates the effect in Germany on all of us here..It is many generations in our judgement since such disgraceful events have occurred in any country pretending to call itself civilized…If you tell me that these events have taken place ,not by force, but as an expression of the general will..that in our view would make some of the persecutions and outrages of which we hear…ten times more horrible.

    Some Anti-Semite, there.

    “Cause hey, if Darwin was a racist then that totally would mean evolution was false, right?”

    Sadly, yes. Or it would mean that anything he said would be drowned out by cries that he was a racist, thus discrediting any ideas he might have had.

    Just look at blogs.

    @LT: Sent the same acronym to my college professor sister tonight – she couldn’t figure it out either. So don’t feel bad.

    @carpeduum: What the fuck, strange dude. You’re constantly going on about how much you hate this blog and everything Cole writes. If you not only keep reading this blog, but you then click on all his links and read those blogs too… looks like no one’s wasting your time but you.

    Dunno, John. That’s pretty pathetic, but for sheer head-scrambling idiocy in Anti-Semite baiting, no one will ever, ever, ever beat Donald Douglas and his flip-out at the kid carrying this sign, reading SASQUATCH IS REAL, whereupon he wrote:

    Then turning around, I saw this kid yacking it up for the crowd, obviously having a blast with this ugly Jew-hating sign. And what does that mean, “SASQUATCH ISRAEL”? This is a play on the “legitimacy myth” of Israel’s existence. As there’s of course a “Sasquatch myth,” it’s worth noting the implied comparison: that Israel is also an ape-like beast existing only in historical folklore. Absent legitimacy, Israel has “no right to exist.” This kid’s sign is but one more example of eliminationist anti-Semitism. And look at how overjoyed he is in boasting this hatred. Creepy

    Even better, Mr. Douglas only doubles down on his analysis of the Jew-hating left when called on this idiocy:

    “Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I’m dumb. I stand by what I wrote, either way.”

    Priceless, man. Priceless.

    Let’s say Krugman likes landscape paintings. Do you know who else loved landscape paintings? Hitler.
    It would seem that by Steven Hayward logic, Krugman hates Jews on that fact alone.
