Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

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

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

No one could have predicted…

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

This post is in: , ,

I’m going to run this give away just like Anne Laurie ran hers. Post here in this thread with a valid email address in the email address block, and all posts from now, 8:00 PM Central time to 8:00 PM Central tomorrow will be eligible. Unlike AL, I don’t have a problem with long threads loading so I don’t anticipate needing another thread. Enter only once. I will use the random number generator at http://www.random.org to pick the winner.

Good Luck!

    well I wish I could say this in a nice way, but it appears that I am suffering from some FYWP paranoia in that my attempts to login to confirm that the site has my e-mail addy are all being rejected with no registration recourse being made available. Hence, with a bit of trepidation, here is my entry and my e-mail addy (hate mail gladly accepted, real correspondence is treasured…..)

    -Casey Hudson

    The above statement is a lie. Also, this is a comment and I hope I win.

    I know I told Anne Laurie that I loved her, but truly I love you more. I wonder if I can land #41 a second time?

    So close…

    After I read it I will send it to Mitt. He should get a clue about defense policy.

    Nevermind, he can afford his own.

    Hooray for giveaways!

    Now off to spam PirateDan with lots of photos of balls.

    If I entered a comment in Anne Laurie’s lucky draw and didn’t win, I’m still eligible for this one, right? But I bet I won’t win this time, either. :(

    Rachel makes sense – all the time. I can’t wait to read her book, and if I can get an autographed copy… all the better!

    As the person who unashamedly stole this contest design from similar contests I’ve seen at other blogs and suggested it to Anne Laurie, I feel that I deserve to be the winner of the book.
    __
    In fact, I’m almost certain to win: all y’all ought to stop commenting (or better yet, double-comment and disqualify yourselves) and so leave the book to me.

    If you want to see your pets again, pick me….or I will get Mitt to strap them on the car… and drive them to Michael Vick…(please help me EdScan has a weapon pointed at me and is forcing me to write this)Rachel Maddow is a tool of the CFR Rachel Maddow is a tool of the CFR.

    Random thought for a random number generator: Death is inevitable, but funerals are not like health care because they have a knowable and finite upper cost. Health care, on the other hand, can continue for prolonged periods and cost an indefinitely amount. Hope this wins a book; more importantly, hope this convinces the justices to uphold ACA.

    Maybe this book will be a slave to the conservative stupidity I’ve had to listen to on the ACA debate.

    Yet another book to read and enjoy and to obsess over. At least it’s one I can read in front of the wife.

    If Cheney can get a new heart, then the least the universe can do for me in return is to let me win.

    currants

    I’d love the book. Also, odds are eventually I’d lend it to someone, who’d forget they’d got it from me and lend it to someone else, and on…so pick me, and it’d be like giving it to at least three!

    One way or another, I’m going to read this book. A signed copy would just be extra nice.

    We’ll the book would be cool, but boy could I do some good with the MegaMillions jackpot. Best thing I ever won was a Ray Harryhausen model from 20 Million miles to Earth. That was really cool.

    marcopolo

    As someone has no doubt said above, it is this or the megamillions jackpot. I think I’d prefer this.

    The Balloon-Juice frontpagers will be able to escape enhanced interrogation by giving up the email addresses of “dangerous commenters”…like those who claim that the president has to obey the constitution, etc.

    Makes sense, really. Always have a backup plan when the guys in black masks and body armor come for you.

    I would like to win a signed copy of Drift. I’ve been interested in hearing Rachel’s opinion on this form of auto racing for years.

    (Edit: If this was posted several times, I’m sorry. I had a hiccup in my internet connection.)

    You know that computer random numbers are not very random. Anyway, stupid program better pick me!

    tammo

    I can’t go to the local Maddow signing events and I has a sad. Randomly winning a signed copy through the magic of the internet will be the next best thing, I suppose.

    This isn’t me railing against books, magic, the Internet or Rachel. It’d be a sin to talk badly about any of those things.

    Hey all! Long time reader, first time poster. Though its a bit odd to do this the first time for this, might as well.

    I never miss Rachel on TV and was fortunate to catch her yesterday on NPR’s “Fresh Air”. How could any conservative not appreciate her absolute integrity, honesty, and plain old hard work? But, sadly, they do. I’m in.

    Please? I didn’t win the other one! And I really, really, really would be amazingly happy if I won this one!

    Thanks in advance!

    Since I never check the usual email I use, here’s the one I do check, even if I have to wait for it to get approved.

    I wonder what Rachel has to say about the wingers in Congress refusing to finance transport infrastructure, her being a roads scholar ‘n all.

    Sorry!
