Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

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

American History and Black History can not be separated.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Nothing worth doing is easy.

In my day, never was longer.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

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

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

    Haha, yay Sarah! The firearms tutorial at the end is particularly funny. And as one would expect, Ms. Silverman is getting the usual, um, love, over in the always classy You-Tube comments. Hmm, I wonder what it is about her that brings forth such passion from the wingnut crowd? A mystery, it is…

    @desertflower: Some day somebody is going to fix phone cameras so they always shoot landscape regardless of how you hold it.

    But to address the content of it, somebody needs to go to jail.

    @desertflower: I thought immediately of this video when I saw this post. It’s pretty damning. But with Republican talking points I always presume now that it is projection: inevitably they accuse the Democrats of what they are in fact doing.

    Totally OT, but applicable to Rethuglicans in general:

    The Gropinator discusses how Maria Shriver confronted him over his secret son.

    Money shot from said article:

    Schwarzenegger says he still doesn’t know why he cheated, but that it was probably a mixture of stupidity and arrogance, he writes.
    The star also writes that he still hopes to reunite with Shriver.
    “You can call this denial,” he writes. “But it’s the way my mind works.”

    I can’t help feeling a little bad for the guy – he’s like an overgrown steroid pumped 10 year old boy who doesn’t really mean any harm, but he’s also got some self-awareness.

    @Todd: Well, I don’t, because Maria was apparently willing, even after all that, to try to make things work with him if he went to counseling with her. He went once and refused to go again. So what he really wants is for her to come back and stay his doormat and for him to never have to change a thing.

    As a friend on Facebook said the other day, she says “f*ck you in the @sshole” like its a bad thing, but other than that, the whole video is full of win.

    @Todd: He’s also doing a movie, right now, that’s supposed to be turning his action hero persona on it’s head; reinventing as the director put it. Maybe he’s a in a reflective mood.

    The only problem with this video is that you can’t show it to any of the people who might be helped by it. A lot of people I know would be completely turned off by the language and not be able to get passed that. Cute for the already convinced, though.

    Brilliant, as usual. “At least I’ve got a steady job!” (sees Ned Flanders working next to him) “Doh!” (falls out the window of the factory into a waiting net).

    OMG, that’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while.

    “…he promised me death panels but Grandpa is still alive.”

    Brilliant.

    Haha, they’re both pretty good. I’m putting up the Sarah Silverman one on Facebook. If anyone’s more offended by F-bombs than by voter suppression, tough.

    @jibeaux: I was reading the cartoon campaign signs as Homer was walking in to vote. I nearly spit out my drink with this one:

    “Romney – I have a house in your state”

    Desertflower’s video is offensive as hell and points to an ongoing problem with the voter registration system, but it is not an actual example of in-person voter fraud of the kind that is supposedly addressed by the identification-based voter suppression laws. That’s because in-person voter fraud is so rare that it is nearly impossible to find documented examples. The argument shouldn’t be that Republicans are the ones who really do it. The argument is that these laws are a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist, so they must have been passed for some other reason. Specifically, they were passed in order to reduce the ability of left-leaning demographics to vote. But that video is still really annoying.

    Heh, great vid by SS. With over a million views, this really goes far to raise awareness of how the Repubs are trying to game the system.
