This is the song reference from my last post, in a scene from The Tao of Steve (full song here, it’s a cover of this). Here’s an open thread.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.
Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?
You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.
How stupid are these people?
Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.
Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.
Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.
Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.
GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.
They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.
Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.
Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.
A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it’s a trap.
Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.
SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.
Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.
The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.
We are aware of all internet traditions.
We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.
Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.
Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.
They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.
JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?
Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Found this video on Sullivan’s site. It’s a good one.

My boss passed this onto me today, you guys have probably already seen it, but I loved the concept.
Book Burning vs. Tea Party

@DougJ: There’s something up with the way the guy posted the video to YouTube so she looks even skinnier than in the film (where she’s pretty damn skinny, I grant you).
@lacp: Today I learned that 33 is the number of senators who are worth a shit.
SiubhanDuinne
@mistermix:
Why the hell isn’t Al Franken one of the 33?
eric
@mistermix: franken was a no. apostate.
lacp
@mistermix: Yeah, this pretty much sucks. I work for a food bank, and all the hunger-relief organizations that I know of have been pushing hard for Gillibrand’s amendment. What a shitty slap at people who are hurting. And for no reason – that amount of money gets pissed away by the military by lunchtime.
mistermix
@SiubhanDuinne: What do they grow in Minnesota? Row crops, sugar beets, cheese and pretty much everything but fresh fruits and vegetables. Klobuchar was a No, too.
The Snarxist Formerly Known as Kryptik
You know what irritates me the most about the idiots trying to boycott Dem conventions because apparently Obama is too Mulsimarxicommie Usurper for them to be associated with?
Guess what, too late. You’re already guilty by dint of the D by your name to the assholes you’re trying to court by publicly rejecting Obama and the party you’re members of. 2010 showed how far trying to out GOP the GOP and run screaming away from your own party worked. Hint: it didn’t.
But go ahead, you goddamned stupid twits. Keep trying to make the argument that Obama is some super lefty evil alien destroying the Dem party by moving it screaming leftward when the party is swinging rightward faster than ever. Goddamned fucking twits.
eric
Franken’s office does not have a statement out on the vote. (I called) Harkin is also a no so it may just be a farming state constituency issue.
Yutsano
@lacp: The irony of course being that military families are one of the largest users of SNAP. But the opposition came from state eligibility rules that seemed easily fixable. But, you know, fuck the poor.
lacp
@Yutsano: We’ve been going round and round with this crap here in Pennsylvania, where they keep upping the bar on what assets people can have and still qualify for SNAP. All to “prevent fraud,” even though it’s been pointed out repeatedly that we have one of the lowest levels of SNAP fraud in the country. Fuck the poor indeed.
pragmatism
Sigh. Darrell is my rep. I write/call once a week to bitch about his priorities. I R doin it rong
Heirn
@TaMara (BHF): Loved the video. Made me laugh.
