Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In my day, never was longer.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

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

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

The lights are all blinking red.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Hot air and ill-informed banter

    I’ve got a bit of nostalgia – I lived right next to Fenway for 12 years, and for the first 7 of those, really soaked up the Red Sox atmosphere. I was involved in all the 2004 games, and it was magical beyond compare.

    Fuck the Sawx. Screw the Cards. Bullshit teams playing a bullshit game. Baseball ought to be grateful for cricket, since otherwise it would be the worst-sucking popular sport in the multiverse.

    Well, while we’re talking sports:

    Politico:

    A new app called 2nd Vote is designed to allow conservative voters to see how companies score on five issues: gun rights, abortion, the environment, same-sex marriage and federal subsidies — though it’s even attracted some liberal fans. Giving each company a score from 1 to 10, the app rates everything from the airline industry to Internet businesses as actively liberal, passively liberal, passively conservative and actively conservative. …

    In the long run, 2nd Vote plans to add more issues, more companies and add gamification features to the app that would encourage users to rack up high scores by shopping at conservative companies.

    Wonderful. A new step forward for the Conservative Purity Wars: Now they’re scoring it.

    @JGabriel: there was a site called Buy Blue that was the same. Turns out that tracking corporate behavior is really difficult. I don’t expect this to last long (or if it does, to be useless parroting of standard republican talking points)

    @Yatsuno:

    I’m just trying to imagine the conversations:

    Con 1: You just bought a Vente at Starbucks, you commie libtard

    Con 2: Oh yeah, well, my Conservative score is 20,473 and your’s is only 19,874. You haven’t even cracked 20k yet, you Islamofascist creep-balls.

    Eventually there will be but one final Conservative, and he will be Reagan Reborn.

    Heh. This was my prediction, Oct. 2008:

    Between the freepers hating on [Kathleen] Parker, and McCain dissing [George] Will, the Republican Purity Wars continue apace.

    By 2012 they will have all killed each other off in a orgy of murder, cannibalism, and purer-than-thou recrimination, until only 2 are left, Ace of Spades and Michelle Malkin, each circling the other with rocks in their hand, shouting “You’re a RINO!” “No, you are!”

    One of them leans in for the attack, they pounce, and…

    I may have been too optimistic on how quickly it would happen, but it’s remarkable how little has changed in the dynamic.
