Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

I really should read my own blog.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

The revolution will be supervised.

You cannot shame the shameless.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

The other wonderful things are the dismissals of the wingnuts Allen West and Michele Bachmann, and the rape apologists Mourdock and Akin.

UPDATE: Bachmann is now ahead by ~1300 votes with 86% reporting.  I’m not a praying man, but I’ll make an exception.

And the most wonderful thing are the winger tears.  If you think Political Observer’s melt-down in the last thread is fun to watch, you need to take a look at Victoria Jackson’s twitter, @vicjackshow

And since most of her ~4300 followers are people who point at her and laugh, a fact she doesn’t seem to get, it’s like watching children poke at this poor rabid worn out gopher with sticks to see what she’ll do.  Good times, good times.

And last but certainly not the least among my favorite things, is the fact that Andrew Breitbart is still dead.

Oh, yeah, I’m drunk. Falling down, commode-hugging, epically fucking drunk!  Thank God for spell check!

    And it looks like California is becoming temporarily sane about taxes and education, with Prop 30 moving ahead.

    I’m 50. This is the best Dem election night of my life, better than 2008. Feels GOOD.

    Wow! Wow! Wow! Anti-marriage amendment and Voter ID FAILED in Minnesota.

    I can breathe for the first time in months and months. We worked really really hard for this. Just wow.

    DeFazio wiped the floor with crazy-assed Art Robinson. Dems cleaned up in Oregon, leaving Repubs in the dust. I’ll be happier when the far right are relegated to the dustbin of history.

    President Obama.

    I just had to say that once again, it sounds absolutely beautiful.

    SO MUCH HAPPY. Also Joe Walsh getting the ax is wonderful.

    I’m sad my dumb state – or at least, the redneck inland/northern parts – seem to have defeated the death penalty repeal…but…other than that, lots of great stuff tonight.

    And four more years of pretending the Obamas are my real family. (I love my family but come on, the Obamas are so great.)

    If he’d been alive, last night probably would have killed him anyway…

    I look forward to January 2013, when B. Hussein Obama will be sworn in as the loser of the First Presidential Debate held in Denver (the wording of the oath will be slightly different).

    Pat Freaking Caddell was on Faux saying that Republicans have to expand the party or get used to losing.

    Good luck with that. Not really… :)

    He also said that the Tea Party press announcement about getting a true conservative to run next time was not what the Republican party needs.

    I think his brain is malfunctioning, he’s sounding reasonable.

    Minnesota GOP got severely spanked, both state House and Senate flip. Chip Cravaak has conceded.

    Big night in MN.

    And that jackass Chuck Todd didn’t look at any return details when he made his asshole statement earlier this eve that Mitt lost MN by 4, should have contested harder.

    No, jackass, Minneapolis hadn’t reported in yet. Anyone above hack-grade would have checked that before shooting off. Looks like Obama will win MN by about 8.5 pts.

    @Odie Hugh Manatee:

    The saner Republican pundits are making those points too. But the Tea Partiers in their midst think Romney was too moderate. They’ll want full-on crazy in 2016 and when they lose even bigger they’ll be in an even bigger uncontrollable rage than they are now.

    Nate Silver and Sam Wang are number gods…

    they got Moe Lane to finally concede that the polls were right.

    OK, I was kidding. Moe saw Mitt lost, as the polling predicted.

    Still, Nate and Sam are the gods of numbers.

    @smith:

    Ahhh, to be old, white and angry…

    NOT!

    @slag: Bachmann is leading by 1/2 a point with 86% of the precincts in.

    She’ll probably squeak thru but severely damaged. After her embarrassing run for the W.H, her buddy Chip loosing, the MN lege flipping by big margins, she’s part of a failing state party.

    @droog: Oh yeah, that’s right — this was the election Obama threw away by fucking up that first debate. Oh, wait…

    Reading Victoria Jackson’s twitter feed is a riot. She is so clueless, it borders on insanity.

    My wingnut friends and acquaintances are oh so very quiet tonight. Not one FB message, tweet, etc.

    Just got back from the Obama victory party in Cleveland, OH. I feel really happy that I came here. I met so many wonderful people. New Yorkers rock! In the midst of Sandy’s troubles more than 400 of us came to Ohio to help win the state for the good guys.

    Sometimes I think Victoria Jackson has early onset Alzheimer or some other condition, cause her crazy is just so clinical seeming. But also very funny:

    Thanks a lot Christians, for not showing up. You disgust me.

    The Democrat Party voted God out and replaced Him with Romans 1. In the Good vs. Evil battle…today…Evil won.

    The Democrat party who voted God out of their platform and adopted Romans 1 as their platform won. In the Good…

    I-502 passed in Washington State. This is something – along with a black president – that I never imagined in my lifetime. I will probably break a 6-year personal prohibition in response, but it’s no substitute for drink…

    Bachmann now under 50%. Still leading, but the 811 write-in candidates have puller her margin down to 49.95% to Graves’ 49.76%.

    in redrawn CA-47, Lowenthal (D) now ahead of Delong (not the Berkeley economist) – 67,703 to 61,494.

    @amk: Jesse Jackson.
    That may be a joke. I, like much of the world have popped a celebratory cork with you Americans. Thank sweet zombie Jesus. I don’t think I felt this much relief when Obama won in ’08.

    Back then we’d all come to terms with the fact that you were all seemingly in love with the Texas simian and apparently wouldn’t vote for anyone with fancy book-learnin’. This time it was Obama or the abyss and you guys delivered. Thank you.

    @amk:

    Now that this is done & dusted, who should be the next supreme court nominee?

    Michelle Obama, obviously. She probably wouldn’t take the job, but just the suggestion might cause Scalia, Alito, Thomas, and/or Roberts to stroke out. And then President Obama could nominate two (or three) more liberals!

    @Cris (without an H):

    Bachmann’s not gone yet. At the moment, CNN has her up 1600 votes (out of 290,000) with 86% reporting. But it’s kind of gratifying that it’s even going down to the wire.

    Jesus, WTF is wrong with Minnesota??!!

    Champagne here. And beer.
    A good night for the human race.

    WTF is wrong with Minnesota?

    Bachmann is a product of gerrymandering; they chose her voters to match her — affluent retired white suburban Protestant evangelicals dominate her district.

    One of the best ways to change Minnesota politics would be to hit investigative reporter Sally Jo Sorenson’s tip jar at Bluestem Prairie

    John, for a moment I thought you wrote “commie-hugging”, which would have been appropriate as another tweak of the paranoid fools on the right and their delusional angst this morning.

    @amk: Hillary!! Then (an idea I read on Sadly, NO!) Anita Hill! Thomas would have a heart attack and quit. That opens up another slot for Bill Clinton!

    HAHAHA! Wingnut heads ‘splodin all over the place!

    Victoria Jackson is puh-thet-ic. I can’t imagine that if she had a lot of Christian fans, she’s kept them by telling them they’re collectively disgusting.

    @WaterGirl:

    It’s so nice not to be worrying about the supreme court getting more conservative.

    My wife suggested we send large quantities of cigars and Italian pastries & cookies to Scalia to help him with his grief at a GOP loss.
