Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

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

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

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

    I looked at my own calendar this morning up at Camp David as I was working on this speech. It showed exactly 1,361 days remaining in my term. I want these to be the best days in America’s history, because I love America. I deeply believe that America is the hope of the world. And I know that in the quality and wisdom of the leadership America gives lies the only hope for millions of people all over the world that they can live their lives in peace and freedom. We must be worthy of that hope, in every sense of the word. Tonight, I ask for your prayers to help me in everything that I do throughout the days of my Presidency to be worthy of their hopes and of yours.

    guess who said this on “This Day in History”?

    @Ben Cisco: Pretty funny huh? Oh Noe’s, Mornin Joes is shocked that Obama would talk about offing OBL and is now explaining that there is a code among military heroes that you don’t go to the VFW and wave your medal around!

    @Raven: Don’t forget the part where you discreetly stuff some socks in your flight suit, fly onto a carrier, and make a speech under a big banner the rank and file slappped together in five minutes.

    (This was sarcasm. The Bush WH made a big fuss in the most orchestrated way possible.)

    If the Bin Laden raid had failed, Rove, Morning Douches and the rest of the Republicans would have certainly made it ‘political’. Hell, they would have hammered Obama until he left office.

    @Hill Dweller: Bingo. What does this ratfucker know about anything for that matter ?

    I love it that Obama ignores the poutrage from these scum bastids and keeps on doing it his way.

    @amk: Did Scarborough whine when the Bush people crawled out from under their rocks after the Bin Laden raid to give their incompetent former boss credit? Has he complained about people like Rove and John Bolton still trying to deny Obama any credit for the OBL raid?

    @Raven: Mourning Joe is a spectacularly useless meatbag. There is no lie he won’t spread, no cognitive dissonance he won’t embrace, no 180 he won’t turn in order to disparage, demean, or undermine this President. His hero strapped on a flight suit and got chauffeured onto the deck of a godsdamned AIRCRAFT CARRIER to take a victory lap, and the job wasn’t even done yet. And he has the BALLZ to criticize President Obama?

    As for that “code”, how the hell would HE know? He’s just another Walter Mitty, living vicariously through people who he would not deign to join when he had the opportunity, another NeoConfederate chickenhawk. F*ck him.

    International Labor is beginning to come up with numbers of third world workers injured by lack of industrial safety standards. They are still exposing people to asbestos, for Jeebus sake. Of course, there is no interest in amassing statistics by the governments that are profiting from the exploitation of their people and environment.

    Asia Monitor Resource Center has released a report that suggests 2 million workers a year die from occupational hazards.

    @amk:

    Thanks. That in conjunction with (re)watching the WHCD routine combined to give this Monday a good start!

    Not a surprise that Morning Joe thought Stephen Colbert bombed at previous WHPC Dinner.

    @Linda Featheringill: egg.sack.lee. I love the way the ad took its shots at the thugs (yes, thugs) early on and the last few minutes are all positive messaging about his achievements and what he wants for america. A perfect ad in short.

    Can’t wait for mittbot’s “but he is not ‘murkin ” rebuttal ad.

    Don’t waste any of my time perusing the real mouth-breathing rightist sites, but surprised that haven’t yet heard even a whisper of a hint pustulating from those quarters that Obama is now denying/dismissing/disrespecting/reversing the outcome of WWII and apologizing/capitulating/surrendering to the Japanese.

    Friday’s announcement by the United States and Japan that 9,000 U.S. Marines will be transferred from a base on the Japanese island of Okinawa is being hailed as a major diplomatic accomplishment. But there are also concerns the actual transfer will be fraught with numerous complications.

    It calls for moving nearly half of the 19,000 U.S. Marines off Okinawa. Up to 5,000 are to be re-deployed to the Pacific island of Guam and 4,000 moved to either Hawaii or rotated in and out of Australia. Source

    My week probably won’t involve all the awesome of a WHCD, but it will involve editing video and trying to pack the rest of the house before I move.

    “http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/30/obesity-costs_n_1463764.html”>

    The nation’s rising rate of obesity has been well-chronicled. But businesses, governments and individuals are only now coming to grips with the costs of those extra pounds, many of which are even greater than believed only a few years ago: The additional medical spending due to obesity is double previous estimates and exceeds even those of smoking, a new study shows.

    I liked Kimmel’s comment on the “yahoos” that want to bomb Iran…and the Netanyahus.

    It may not be the winning margin, but it sure is obvious that Obama has more charisma in one incisor that Romney has in his whole controlled, coiffed, and nasty head.

    I laughed out loud at the “here’s what I’ll look like in 4 years” bit.

    And taking on the dog-eating with snark was excellent.
