Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

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

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

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Let there be snark.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

This fight is for everything.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

We will not go back.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

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

    I’m pretty sure everyone in that article is DougJ. Also, I submit this, without comment.

    Headlines and articles like that seem to me to be, in my favorite military euphemism, a target-rich environment.

    It’s been a little over a week, so I’m going to do some light spamming again. On Feb 2, 2013 I’ll be taking part in the Fight for Air Climb in Jacksonville, FL. My Firefighting class is required by our Chief to do a community service project to remind and reinforce the idea that Firefighters are public servants and role models; personally, I agree with that sentiment. I don’t have a personal connection to lung cancer, or any cancer really, other than my continual struggle to quit smoking.

    So, your donation, if you’re willing, either contributes money to that particular cause or buys you a small piece of my misery. I’ll be climbing 42 stories up in full bunker gear and air pack (roughly 30lbs). If you can or feel like it, please donate. I’ve already met my goal thanks to some very generous individuals. At this point it’s become a bit of a competition between classmates (I’m 3rd place) and to see if we can get our team into 1st (currently 2nd).

    “Women are abandoning Obama” because the horse race narrative demands it.

    What is actually happening is secondary to sustaining the horse race narrative. Infotainment, people! Infotainment!

    Hell, I think they’re learning from him, not trolling him.

    I love DougJ, but if he’s the future of our national discourse – and I suspect he is – we are in for a world of hurt.

    I must be missing something – people here think DougJ trolls?

    I find it hard to believe that such an Astute Political Observer as DougJ would do such a thing.

    That’s almost as ridiculous as suggesting that Mitt Romney lacks integrity, or that William Kristol’s judgment is suspect. So quit yanking my chain.

    @Cassidy: I’ve bookmarked this and will shoot you a donation next week. Sounds like a great cause. But I think we’ll need pictures.

    by an amazing coincidence, the race is completely tied, reports the media, which is very excited by a tied race.

    @ruemara: I knew that fucking self-aggrandizing alcoholic womanizing piece of shit Newsom would pull crap like this the first day he got a chance to.

    Kristof? Man, starting at the bottom and work your way down. Newsom’s backup plan to “being president” must be “being Geraldo Riviera”.

    Why yes, I’m a former SF resident, why do you ask?

    Mr. Obama, what is your greatest flaw. Mr. Romney, what do you think is Obamas greatest flaw?

    Never mind, of course, that there really isn’t much evidence that the gender gap has disappeared. The new CBS/Quinnipiac Ohio Poll released this morning has women favoring Obama over Romney by 15 points, for example. It really does matter where pollsters are seeing this “narrowing gender gap”, doesn’t it?

    But, you know, doesn’t fit the “narrative.” This election really needs to be over already.

    Wait, wait, let me guess — the South?

    @Mnemosyne: If the Electoral College saves us from the South unilaterally electing Mitt “he’s white, he’s probably got other characteristics” Romney, I’ll never badmouth it again.

    Ugh, Yahoo News. The only thing worse than a Yahoo News item is the virulently rascist, sexist and wingnut comments the same news item collects. I have a very well established Yahoo account that I use for my store & professional society memberships and I cringe at ever time I make the mistake of reading a news item on the home page. If the commenters at Yahoo News were the majority view, the world would be a mashed up version of Pink Floyd’s The Wall and a Nancy Grace rally.

    sort of like the poll I read from FL a few days ago that had FL women even and had Mitt up 3 with Hispanics

    This is true wherever two or more are gathered in my name in front of Fox News.

    “I just haven’t been satisfied with Obama the last four years,” Bonilla said. She voted for John McCain in 2008, but this year she hasn’t made up her mind. “My husband’s going for Romney, but I’m still not sure,” she said.

    How can you abandon Obama if you were never with him in the first place?
