Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

White supremacy is terrorism.

When I was faster i was always behind.

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

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

    Santorum, Gingrich ratchet up conservative rhetoric in the South

    Santorum also took on Gingrich obliquely, reminding the crowd that he and his own wife, Karen, have been married 21 years and home-schooled their seven children. On Friday, he was less subtle in drawing an implicit contrast with Gingrich’s history of marital infidelity, castigating him for sitting on a sofa next to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) in a TV ad calling for steps to address climate change.

    “I didn’t sit on the couch with anybody,” Santorum said. “I would only sit on the couch with my wife. Period. No other women — particularly not Nancy Pelosi.”

    Politi-truthy:

    The shark attack figures include documented instances of sharks attacking human victims. The voter fraud cases indicate the number of cases deemed legally sufficient for an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

    Clearly this an unfair comparison. They held shark attacks to a higher standard than vote fraud. They should have compared allegations of shark attacks to allegations of voter fraud.

    I mean, if every GOP allegation of vote fraud counts, then so should every drunken fratboy who says, “Duuude, you won’t belieeeve it! I got attacked by a SHARK!”

    I’m sitting on the couch right now.

    With my wife. And some cats.

    But not with Nancy Pelosi.

    “I didn’t sit on the couch with anybody,” Santorum said. “I would only sit on the couch with my wife. Period. No other women — particularly not Nancy Pelosi.”

    Shorter Rih: I’d never sit on the couch with a filthy blood-traitor.

    The next cat I get will be called Nancy Pelosi and I shall sit with her any damn place I please.

    Can we have “sitting on the couch with Nancy Pelosi” as a new tag line?

    Or maybe “sitting on the couch with Rick Santorum”

    OT: Just made my first ever bechamel sauce. It’s damned fine, since it is made with half & half, butter, garlic, sage and white cheddar. I must now revise my statement that McMegan is a terrible cook. She must be godawful in a manner that harkens to near apocalyptic, to need a $1500 machine to make what an inexperienced chef can read a basic on wikipedia on, and whip up less than 10 minutes later.

    Minnesota 5, North Dakota 1 I was really nervous about this game all week (no, I don’t have enough to do), but when the Gophers came out of the tunnel like they were launched from a cannon I knew we were in pretty good shape. We got some help the the Whioux goalie, but Also controlled the game except for a three minute stretch at the start of the second.

    On to Duluth to play Cornell in the national semifinal. The Big Red played two very different hockey games today. They and BU each scored a touchdown in the first 60 minutes and then played 59:50 of shutout hockey before finally deciding that they’d had enough.

    I am quite happy for Politifact doing this because Colbert reacting to it on his show will make my day sometime next week.

    Unless “sit on the couch” is a well-known euphemism of which I’m unaware, this is really sick. I for one am perfectly capable of sitting on the couch with people in an entirely chaste manner. Rick not so much I guess.

    Comrade Mary

    I think any man who chooses to sit on a couch with any woman should do so very, very carefully. Ouch.

    Could Politifact please help me out here – where is this (comment seen on right-wing website comment thread…forgive me, I was bored) coming from:

    He (Obama) has been protected all of his life by powerful people. He was courted at some point by the Saudi’s, as the prince of Saudi Arabia paid for his Harvard Law School education.

    The Saudis covered the Harvard education, while the Iranians (or was it the Chinese) paid whomever forged the birth certificate? It all gets so confusing – HELP US POLITIFACT!

    Has Politifact been Komened? Has a super secret wingnut infiltration squad taken control?

    Where is James O’Keefe these days? More importantly, where is his pimp costume?

    @Jeffro: Is that the Saudi prince that owns a good chunk of Fox News or the one that GWB puckered up to? There are about 1000 of them, it’s hard to keep track.

    What a useless bunch of wankers Politifact(sic) is turning out to be.

    I’m starting to see the light in the comment on today’s FactCheck(sic) thread: that these people have been bough off to say this shit so that everyone becomes so cynical about fact-checking that it’s thrown on the rubbish heap.

    Which would be a very unfortunate outcome. But we’re headed there. Fast.

    @Comrade Mary: Yup. Outed myself awhile ago. For a series aimed at little girls, it’s surprisingly adult. But considering what the animator who developed it has done in the past, it’s not too shocking. Plus she insisted on total creative control. There’s even a wink and a nudge to Whovians in it.

    @Frankensteinbeck: This. Also. Too.

    @Yutsano:
    Faust is good, and Hasbro gave her huge freedom. Her head writer is the guy who did My Life As A Teenage Robot, and he is hysterical. Very sharp and silly sense of humor, and likes subtle edges and references. And the animation is fantastic. Computer animation (it’s animated in Flash with vectors) has finally allowed more detailed and complex animation to be done for the same effort and price – like I was told it would 30 years ago.
