Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Second rate reporter says what?

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

I was promised a recession.

In my day, never was longer.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

    “I’m ready to do Ninja Shit to you,” is, admittedly, a pretty awesome line.

    So much for obsessively coming to this blog for fresh content. Which other front pager will post this clip next?

    Enjoy that minute because I have a feeling that “amusing” is not going to be a word associated with this election after it is over.

    Still, that’s f’ing hilarious.

    Haha, John checks in every few days or so.

    But I still love the ‘ass chews gum’ line :)

    Well, Mormons can retroactively baptize (dead) people into their church. So retroactively retiring isn’t all that inconsitent. Come to think of it, Mitt could claim he was never inconsistent by claiming consistancy…retroactively.

    Damn, this could create a wormhole through a paradox through a contradiction through a fallacy so you always end up telling the “truth”.

    Anyhoo, great vid.

    Well, the first 15% or so of the clip was funny and promising.

    Is this “Second City Network” a Lorne Michaels production like SCTV? Because this would explain why every sketch can only be funny or clever for the first 15% or so, in the same way he’s spent decades crafting SNL as a vehicle for the destruction of the very notion of comedy …

    Has anyone been following the #morefakemitt thing on twitter? It would appear that he is now buying followers. One of his latest is named “Simmer Breathtaking”. I LOLd.

    This is so sad. I remember watching on the news as the dad of the guy who’s son was celebrating his 27th b-day at the Colorado theatre. The dad was carrying around a picture of his son and asking anyone who’d listen and the news camera people to please help him find his son. It was heartbreaking. He later found out later in the day that his son was on of the victims.

    And the 6 year old who was killed who’s mom is still in intensive care and does not yet know that her daughter is dead…just heartwrenching.

    @Spirula: That’s like saying I could retroactively win the Presidency even though I don’t have enough votes to… Oh, wait. I see what you did there….

    @Litlebritdifrnt: Yes, three posts above you.

    This whole fake followers shit is bullshit anyway, it’s probably spambots trying to up their reputation. In two days the same thing will happen to Obama’s account, republicans will go wild with glee, democrats will get pissed, and we’re back where we started. For fuck’s sake.

    @L. Ron Obama:It’s probably spambots trying to up their reputation? Is that a thing they do? Would they risk being exposed? Also they’re clearly not very good so I’m not sure if this is helping their rep any.

    I think it’s more like a team of Romney advisers who don’t understand the medium they are trying to manipulate.

    I have to repeat, how did I miss this? Probably because I had to go to the NAMI Newsroom to find it. I will continue to bang on a bout how offensive it is, and probably write a post about it on the MH blog tomorrow. Way to go VA – have your Lt. Gov insult not only supporters of the President but several million people who live with an undertreated chronic illness. Can we outsource or offshore a state by popular demand?

    I think Obama should apologize prospectively to Romney for kicking his ass this coming Nobember.

    Didn’t know this video was a repeat of an earlier post, so I guess I retroactively enjoyed the shit out of it.

    By early morning there will be several posts by right wingers who think this is the real deal.
