Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

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

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

    Thanks so much, Doug! And thanks to everybody who has kicked in so far and who plans to.

    I heart the Interwebs.

    If you say so.

    I have finally decided to take my flower photography seriously. I now have a site with a blog attached. It’s all very new, so I need advice from the pros. Tell me what you think.

    Thanks Doug for the invitation to pimp. My wife blogs personal reflections from Santa Fe as the Barefoot Vegan Chick, at http://anastasiaalston.com/.

    Glad that John’s call to support rising bloggers has led you FP’s to these kinds of posts. :)

    OK, I just want to make a comment on something mistermix said in the previous post:

    They’ve been living in a 5 year shitstorm, and that’s part of the reason why they don’t fuck up on a regular basis.

    That what does not kill you makes you stronger.

    The relentless attacks of the GOP on Obama have made him that much more formidable, and the GOP is too fucking blinded by racism to figure it out.

    Really? I’m supposed to financially support some asshat who says shit like this?

    “I found this particularly interesting because yesterday while listening to Barack Obama’s first press availability on the Libya murders, it struck me that his voice still rang with the same undisguised narcissism it always conveys (there was no hint of emotion for the death of Americans).”

    Fuck you and them.

    @Linda Featheringill: This is pure gold:

    “People buy what Barry is selling all day long and it’s for a reason.
    Reason being they have never been taught to think critically and objectively , and gettin’ freebies ‘n’ stuff is more important than 6 weeks/6 months/6 years from now.”

    You fuckers are just too stupid to understand! Be less stupid! Vote Romney because I’ve told you you’re a fucking moron!

    That’s always a winner.

    And @donovong, Tommy quotes the Freeperati’s most unhinged comments every Monday morning. What you’re citing is one of those comments.

    @Linda Featheringill:

    The stupid over there…if it was unleashed on the west, every national forest would be going up in flames.

    These morons actually think that what they do is critical thinking. It is to laugh.

    @Linda Featheringill:

    Go ahead and read it.

    I tried, but I couldn’t get past the whining about the reporters who are trying to get their god-king elected. I can only assume he’s mad that they’re not reporting about how Obama is actually a Kenyan Muslim atheist whose father was Malcolm X, and how he’s going to put all white people in chains in the second term. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

    @Athenae: Also, Athenae gives a mighty fine, smoke a cigarette after reading, rant, kinda like John Cole. Plus the ferret blogging! Oh and they have kick-ass live chat room for election nights, conventions and the upcoming debates. We have a blast with the snark and stuff.The last night of the Dem convention, Jude, was channeling his inner Biden, and a few days later when I saw the pic of Joey The B with the biker chick, I thought for sure it was from something Jude said a few nights previously, come to life.

    First Draft is the best place to be when something important is going down. Y’all please do come join us.

    I’m going to pimp my webseries, if that’s okay. You can see the first season (six episodes, each five minutes long) at: http://exorcistslocal667.com/episodes/

    It’s a comedy about unionized exorcists. What?

    Any of you who saw the Sunday NY Times Metro article about the four guys who have been living together for 20 years may recognize our lead, Shyaporn, as one of the long-term roommates in the Times story. I’ve known him since college; he’s a good actor and good guy.

    Thanks, Doug – We all work hard at bringing righteous rants, GOP-depantsing, and serious issues (like rebuilding NOLA) in equal measure.

    Also, ferretmania!
