Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

This fight is for everything.

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

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

We are aware of all internet traditions.

This really is a full service blog.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Come on, man.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

    I imagine many in the Vatican feel the same way about Francis:

    Pope Francis has called for power in the Catholic Church to be devolved away from the Vatican, in the first major work he has written in the role.
    …
    “Excessive centralisation, rather than proving helpful, complicates the Church’s life and her missionary outreach,” he says in the latest document.

    He also says he does not believe that the papacy “should be expected to offer a definitive or complete word on every question which affects the Church and the world”.

    So what was Fage doing while Logan, et. al., were running amok?

    It is my desire if not my duty to try to talk to you journeymen with some candor about what is happening in radio and television, and if what I say is responsible, I alone am responsible for the saying of it. Our history will be what we make of it. And if there are any historians about fifty or a hundred year from now, and there should be preserved the kinescopes of one week of all three networks, they will there find, recorded in black and white and in color, evidence of decadence, escapism, and insulation from the realities of the world in which we live. We are are currently wealthy, fat, comfortable, and complacent. We have a built in allergy to unpleasant or disturbing information; our mass media reflect this. But unless we get up off our fat surpluses, and recognize that television, in the main, is being use to distract, delude, amuse, and insulate us, then television and those who finance it, those who look at it, and those who work at it, may see a totally different picture, too late. — Edward R. Murrow

    He was distracted, deluded, amused, and insulated.

    Seeing her and her producer both get bounced comes as a pleasant surprised. Maybe there’s someone left at 60 Minutes who still believes in actual journalism after all.

    A leave of absence? Fire them already. Your credibility is already shot, at least try to save a little dignity.

    @geg6: “Dan Rather should go postal.”

    I am pretty sure the guards at CBS headquarters know to definitely NOT let Dan in if he has a bulging trenchcoat.

    Still wonder if the sexual assault she experienced in Egypt has affected her abilities as a journalist. Sounded pretty awful thing to have happen. I can imagine her having some sort of PTSD. Glad they are asking them to take a leave of absence. They should ask them to resign.

    Looks like my sternly worded email to CBS news did the trick.

    Don’t they know not to mess with the BJ commentariat?

    A good start, but if she doesn’t get plain terminated in the most embarrassing way, she’ll come back (if not at CBS, then somewhere else). Hell, even when these types do get terminated in the most embarrassing way, many of them come back.

    Future headline: “Disgraced Journalist Lara Logan Signs Contract with Fox News”.

    Hereafter must be referred to as “Disgraced Journalist Lara Logan”.

    Do you think the fact that their source referred to himself as The Red Rascal should have been a clue?

    (Any Doonesbury reader will get the reference).

    Her boss is covering his own ass because he left FOX in 2011, and Logan will lighten her hair to a “blonde-ish” hue and go to FOX as a regular on their Sunday morning talking heads show.

    Palin will be fired again.

    Mission accomplished.

    I have an old friend who’s a producer at CBS, he occasionally FB posts about how proud he is of their journalistic heritage. I’ve been biting my tongue hard since the Logan incident, glad they’re finally doing something about it.

    My, my outraged email to CBS must have helped with this. Maybe if I had dialed it up another notch or two they would have actually fired them!
