Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

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

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

After roe, women are no longer free.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Bark louder, little dog.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

    Have you seen anything good this week?

    Hell of a lightning storm last night. It’s childish but I still get a thrill out of nature blasting the hell out of something with electricity.

    For me, the story of the week is Mitt folding like a cheap lawn chair over having an out gay advisor. Not that discrimination itself is news, everyone knows about that. But it was a perfect illustration of Mitt’s lack of spine and the excessive influence of the social conservative right over the GOP.

    mistermix @ Top:

    Nancy sent a post from an Arkansas paper’s blog about Mitt Romney’s relationship with Robert Bork.

    Oooh, sexy.

    Edited To Add: The problem with making certain jokes is that now it’s going to take years of expensive therapy I’ll never be able to afford or receive to scrub that image out of my brainpan. The things I do for you people.

    Funny you should ask. Just watched a BBC program on poverty in America today originally broadcast earlier this year.

    30 minutes not anywhere near close to sufficient time to report in any depth, and too much emphasis of putting the situation on Obama’s plate over that (collectively) of Congressional Republicans (as well as the previous administration), but still worth a watch.

    If little Leslie (at about 13 minutes in) doesn’t break your heart, you have none of which to speak.

    It might be worth front-paging this video from the Obama campaign, on the latest Koch funded attack ad. They’re requesting that people share it and spread it around — from the video:

    We’re going to call their BS when we see it. And we need your help to call them on it too and to set the record straight. So share this.

    Not good, but for those of you following the Chronicle of Higher Education / Naomi Schafer Riley shitstorm, the person in charge of “Leading Content Promotion” at the CHE is busily making things worse on Twitter:

    https://twitter.com/#!/Chronicle_Amy/

    Highlights include telling people that they should get upset about real issues instead, and implying that her critics are not media literate and don’t understand journalism or the First Amendment. Good times!
