Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

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

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Optimism opens the door to great things.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

    looks like this site is also on the list for Denial of Service :-), just like the healthcare.gov site.

    Man, this website sucks worse than healthcare.gov. I want Issa to launch an investigation.

    Your packets are in our echo chamber.

    If MM was less of a socalist and more of a libertarian neckbeard, we’d have better IT.

    I read the barebones of the Martin-Incognito story in amazement. What in the hell is this shit?
    First, Martin should have fought back. Like Steve Smith of the Panthers said he would against that loudmouth conerback. Second, Incognito is more of an idiot than I thought possible. And that is no mean feat.

    Last… the Dolphins have a PR nightmare on their hands.
