Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Second rate reporter says what?

Come on, man.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Bark louder, little dog.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

    This seems like the appropriate place to say FU to whichever commenter got “Do Me” by Bell Biv Devoe intermittently popping into my head the past couple weeks.

    First time I’ve heard The Beatles called “a weird earworm”. I usually just call them The Fucking Beatles.

    There’s a Fleetwood Mac tribute featuring a bunch of indie bands due out in the fall, and some of the tracks are staring to appear in various places. I’m headed over to NPR to hear Best Coast’s take on “Rhiannon.” I fear that my pathetic, Humbert-esqe crush on Bethany Cosentino is about to get worse.

    One of the special trials of parenthood is the Disney Earworm. Try functioning with “Circle of Life” or “Whistle While You Work” or “High-Ho” rattling around in your head. And then there are the more obscure Disney products… I’m ashamed to admit to having the theme song to “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” stuck in my head for a few days.

    I watched America’s Got Talent, and the producers oh-so-creatively used the “Tears stream… Down your face…” part of Coldplay’s “Fix You”, and I was reminded just how much I hate that overwrought piece of dreck. And now I have the over-dramatic chord part in my head. FUCK.

    From the wikipedia page on Back in the U.S.S.R.:

    As further evidence of The Beatles’ supposed “pro-Soviet” sentiments, the John Birch Society magazine cited the song.

    Fuckin’ idiots. Idiots then, and idiots now, in their Teatard and Paulista forms.

    Back in the late ’80’s my alt-rock band covered this. Woo-ooooooos and all.

    There’s nothing “weird” about this song, John. I think the word you’re looking for is AWESOME.
