Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When they say they’re pro-life, they don’t mean yours.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

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

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

    I am seriously going to have to work “She plays a good kazoo while driving” into a conversation somewhere.

    I Can’t Go For That is seriously a song I could listen to at any time or any place.

    I almost like this cover better than the real thing. It has a nice, clean sound. In a fucking car.

    that is pretty awesome.

    i love the implied wit, in how shocking it is to hear people in a car sing on key, much less harmonizing.

    though that crazy train minivan commercial almost killed it, it still gets me, because when ever someone opens their mouth to sing in a vehicle, i brace for the worst.

    Galafinakis did a comedy tour a few years ago where the entire troupe was in a van. Funny stuff.

    i love that it’s in a car and that there’s road noise (and a kazoo)! very original but damn you John for making me listen to a Hall & Oates song, even if I never thought it could sound that good.

    You know how I know I’ve become an old stick-in-the-mud parent? All I can think of is “Why are they not wearing their seat belts?”.

    All I can say is, when I try this in the back of a New York City taxi, the taxi driver never really manages to harmonize with me as well as these guys do.

    Plus, the drivers always, always butcher the lyrics. It’s “easy ready willing overtime”, not “easy riders will I over time”. C’mon dude, that doesn’t even make sense….

    That was great! I’m really impressed. And who a kazoo could be rocked. I’ve learned something new.

    I’ll have to check them out for sure.

    @Genine:

    And who[knew]a kazoo could be rocked.

    Go see Carolina Chocolate Drops sometime. Kazoo or not, go see CCD anytime you can.

    This vid was making the FB rounds earlier this week. They’ve got a whole series of Van Sessions, which are uniformly excellent. But this was my fav.

    Somewhat OT but does anyone know whether Scalia sang “I Can’t Go For That” and demanded a “limiting principle” when he granted the federal government power under the Commerce Clause to forbid the growing of marijuana for personal use, in Gonzales v. Raich?

    Specifically, did he ask the Solicitor General–musically or otherwise–whether, if the federal government is allowed to criminalize the growing of cannabis for personal use in your garden, can’t they then also criminalize the growing of broccoli for personal use in your garden?
