Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.
And we’re all out of bubblegum.
Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.
Nothing worth doing is easy.
The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.
He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.
They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.
Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.
Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.
No one could have predicted…
Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.
I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.
Black Jesus loves a paper trail.
Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.
Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.
Fuck that bum, let’s go Joe!
Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard
Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.
Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.
President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.
This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.
Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.
Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!
Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Ok, now that is a good commercial.
I am sooo stealing it and sharing it…lol
Trollhattan
Damn clever. Nice to see something new, because it’s bloody rare.
But I want demon sheep!

I expect to find his dad floating lifeless in Boston Harbor within a week…or at least completely disavowed
Roxy
I love it. So different. I hope Carl gets elected.

Awesome ad. Hope he wins. Maybe I’ll throw a sheckel or two his way to help him along.l
Ash Can
Cute!
Tommy
I am an advertising guy. Best ad I’ve seen this week.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s22HX18wDY
I swear the best three minutes I’ve send this week. I wish I made that ad ….
Baud
@Tommy:
I teared up. Don’t know what the ad is for, however.
Anne Laurie
Perhaps it should be added (to ease the consciences of the dudgeon-prone) that Carl is openly gay. So he’s not, y’know, inappropriately appropriating another subcultures experience, in case any knickers were knotting…
Baud
Don’t like Carl’s ad. Makes tea party types seem like reasonable people.
Tommy
@Baud:
For a cell phone. I hate ads and I am an ad guy, but that is a good ad. As I said, wish I made it.
gogol's wife
@Baud:
I like the ad, but I don’t believe that person is really a Tea Party person. He seems too intelligent and ironic. He’s shamming . . . .
gogol's wife
@Tommy:
It’s for a cell phone? Isn’t it a campaign ad for the son?
JPL
Earlier today after watching Carl’s ad on the Washington Post Politics page, I googled it and several news sites picked it up. He’ll certainly raise enough money to compete.
@Tommy: Paying it forward is so socialistic. Now I have to find a hanky.
ruemara
@Tommy: That ad made me cry by 1:42. I loved it and the Chipotle game ad.
Ash Can
@gogol’s wife: Did you click on Tommy’s link?
ETA: If not, do it; that too is a really cute ad.
Tommy
@JPL: LOL. My parents are hardcore Republicans. I am not. They always even if it wasn’t a term, to play things forward. My mom and dad do it almost everyday. I try when I can. Funny, it is such a good thing. Most times good things come back to me ….
gogol's wife
@Ash Can:
No, I misunderstood and thought he was talking about the ad in the original post.
MomSense
I want to vote for Carl for Congress. Best political ad I’ve seen.
ETA: Damn, I used to live in his district! I would have loved to vote for him.
Don’t let me down 5th district!!
PurpleGirl
@gogol’s wife: I think the cell phone ad is the longer ad involving charity. Although I don’t see the connection to cell phones there. But it is a good ad about being charitable. (RWNJ in the US would hate the ad and the story.)
gogol's wife
@Tommy:
Wow, that is a whole movie.
Roger Moore
@PurpleGirl:
No, they’d love it. It’s their alternative to Obamacare.

@Tommy:
Oh my goodness, I am in tears.

Wisconsin Tourism Ad.

I mean us ad guys do try.
Ash Can
@Tommy: LOL! Were you in on that? If so, were you in on this one too?
If so, bravo!
Tommy
@Ash Can: Nope. Been about a decade since I did any ads you might see. I don’t do that anymore, but I do still like good “creative.”
Baud
@Tommy:
Awesome ending with the shoes.
Fluke bucket
@Roger Moore: exactly. All day I have had to put up with people showing that ad and letting everybody know that health care should be taken care of with voluntary charitable giving. Damn. Ruined the ad for me.
lamh36
@Tommy: Wow. That was a really good ad.
Roger Moore
@Fluke bucket:
It’s such a predictable response. Anything but government healthcare, at least for the under-65 set.
mainmati
Really well done and nice camera work and cute music. Mostly great because it’s simply about those two people and no other distractions.
Bobby Thomson
George Takei was promoting the cell phone ad on his face book page. Someone else linked to this ad. It’s for a bank, but will still raise the dust in the room.
Libby's person
@Tommy: Thank you for the link. That was beautiful.
TaMara (BHF)
@Tommy: I hate you just a little bit now. And love you just a bit, too. Crying was not on my agenda today.
TaMara (BHF)
And @DougJ – thanks, that was a perfect ad. Wish more campaign ads were that thoughtful and…civil.
Comrade Mary
I feel predictable today. (I’ll feel mysterious tomorrow.) Smiled at the political commercial, cried on cue for the Thai commercial.
Man, Thai advertising specializes in squeezing out tears in the most obvious but effective way. A compilation.
satby
@Tommy: I posted that on FB, watched it 3and times, just eatched it again, and blubber like a baby every time. It is a great ad.
satby
I hate posting from my cell, excuse all the typos, FYWP is not lwtting me edit.
hamletta
@gogol’s wife: Naw, it’s real. My dad and brother are wingnuts, and I disagree with them on everything political (except they’re cool with gay people), but I love them unconditionally.
Tea Partiers are misguided, no doubt, but they aren’t all morons.
