Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Fight them, without becoming them!

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Republicans do not trust women.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

I really should read my own blog.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

White supremacy is terrorism.

    So what? Charlie Crist has a beard. So does Marcus Bachmann. So does Mitch McConnell.

    Oh, that is funny! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!

    My good angel wants to defend poor Mr. Norquist because the accusation is illogical but my bad angel wants to sit in the corner and giggle.

    Guess which angel will win?

    I thought he was a non-secret Muslim because his wife is Muslim. Can’t believe the pass the wingnuts have given him on this for the last decade. I figured he’d be an early casualty of the anti-Muslim teabaggeriness.

    I love the little “oh!” from someone in the audience because he’s married to a muslim woman. These people really need to get out more.

    Who would have guessed that converting the U.S. to Islam could be as easy as taking over the razor blade and shaver industry?

    Well that at least would explain why he is trying to destroy America. He has the entire GOP on his side and is succeeding, you have to admire his success!

    Hmmmm….so can women every be true Muslims…as they will rarely be able to grow beards?

    Also, too as every man knows having a beard is a permanent state that can never be reversed by scissors, a razor blade and shaving cream.

    “Grover Norquist is Trouble, with a capital ‘T'”. I half expected the music to come up and for her to go off on a diatribe against pool. In any event, I got the same vibe as Henry Hill put out.

    Everyone knows secret Muslims don’t have their faces but do shave their pubes. So Norquist is halfway to passing the secret Muslim test.

    Shaving the pubes.

    I didn’t know that.

    Does that mean that old humans, as they lose hair in all kinds of places, morph into Muslims? What if they were atheist when they were more hirsute?

    Grover Norquist is a secret Muslim because he has a beard.

    Of course he is. So was that secret liberal Abraham Lincoln, not to mention U.S. Grant and Robert E. Lee.

    And so does Lindsey Graham, aka Huckleberry Closetcase.

    From what I remember watching Batman on TV as a child, you can do the King Tut thing of a prosthetic paste-on beard.

    Or even the reverse, like Cesar Romero, with white make-up slathered on top of a mustache.

    Married to a Muslim; sporting a beard, and trying to derail our government by starving and obstructing to the point where the US government is just large enough to strangle in a bathtub.. Imagine the scrutiny if he were a Dem….

    The lack of male facial hair means you are a beard Muslim. At least a decade back the word ‘Moslem’ was used a lot. What happened? Is it now considered a poor transliteration? Or an insulting usage?

    @p.a.:

    Archaeic transliteration from an uncommon regional dialect, the same sort of thing that gave us “Peking” instead of “Beijing”.

    The Other Chuck

    @p.a.: FWYP wouldn’t take my edit: the Arabic pronunciation pronounces it “Moose-lim”, others make it a short U. They’re both correct seeing as how the proper spelling is in Arabic, but it’s just one of those things where different transliteration standards become dominant.

    At least we don’t have to deal with the dozen or so romanizations of Qadaffi anymore.

    They dislike Rove because he’s a loser who called it wrong and they see that as costing them power. Power is all they respect.

    Everyone in America from 1820-1888 was a Muslim. So many beards.
