Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

For some reason evangelical leaders have all voted to rally behind…Rick Santorum.

COLUMBIA, South Carolina (Reuters) – Influential evangelical Christian leaders on Saturday endorsed Rick Santorum for the Republican U.S. presidential nomination, in an attempt to strengthen him as the more conservative alternative to front-runner Mitt Romney.

At a weekend meeting at a ranch outside Houston, Texas, the group of 150 conservatives agreed on the third ballot to support the former Pennsylvania senator.

I suppose evangelicals have a hard time with the usual degrading compromise when it means backing a schismatic cultist who tends to forget whatever promises he made last week. So noble failure it is.

    If the horse is not resurrected, will this show the godbotherers that Jeeesus isn’t on their side as much as they’ve convinced too many to believe?

    Is the nearest town called Apalachin, by any chance?

    I expect that soon Mitt will add a new paragraph to his stump speech to say how much he cares about evangelical people.

    “Not a lot of time was spent on Mitt Romney. It was more about the positive. How to get America back on the right road. How to get America great again,” Perkins said.

    Hear that, Mitt?

    We have a new pope? Santorum I. Who’ll be first to kiss his ring?

    Pfft. You mean profitable failure it is. The Godclowns would back Lindsey Lohan if they thought she was the best bet to keep the money flowing in from the rubes.

    “schismatic cultist”

    Yes.

    Historians please forgive me for this:

    Santorum probably wants to be like Torquemada, purifying God’s bride for His Loving Delight.

    I think that Santorum is more like Savonarola. He can purify until the cows come home but he’s gonna burn anyway.

    Behind Santorum. Hee!

    They will gnash their teeth and tire themselves out, but ultimately most of them will end up backing Mitt.

    They got nowhere else to go.

    How heavenly ironic that this conclave of fundamentalist Christian patriarchs has chosen a Papist as their preferred candidate. Santorum’s religious beliefs (and he himself is deeply conservative theologically within that faith) would have been denounced as wicked and idolatrous less than a generation ago by these same evangelical leaders.

    This endorsement should offer some clue as to just how unholy and unworthy they regard Mormons.
