Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Republicans in disarray!

This blog will pay for itself.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

In my day, never was longer.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Bark louder, little dog.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

I’m beginning to believe the theory that John Ellis is deliberately attempting to sabotage his own campaign. Possibly to spite his mother, the Shelob of Kennebunkport.

    Jeb had a reputation for being quite the stoner during his prep school days. Do we know for a fact that ever stopped being a stoner?

    I’ve heard it’s actually a good show. My daughter and I will be watching with our justice league shirts on :)

    Ye gods.

    Writers everywhere are dying…you not only can’t make this stuff up, if you did, you’d be canned on the spot for being too unbelievable.

    @mclaren: same as always, pearls, blue Scaazi and a George Washington wig.

    @beltane: He was apparently in same dorm as Linc Chafee. Maybe they got back into it at a reunion. Would explain a lot.

    as a comic book geek, I can confirm that there is no goddamn way Jeb is winning me over with this pandering.

    geeks ought to be able to tell true geeks from guessers. you can tell Obama is a geek. I voted for him with an open heart.

    @Amir Khalid: They brought a bunch of girls and their Moms to a sneak showing where the star showed up on stage after the showing. Thank god he wasn’t there AFAIK.

    Not surprising.

    After all, ¿Jeb? had an affair with Katherine Harris

    According to Ron Rosenbaum in the December 4, 2000 edition of The New York Observer, much of the East Coast media establishment, including the Washington Post and the New York Times, is buzzing like crazy over this story, a story which they are not allowed to cover, except in the most oblique and sanitized fashion.

    Rosenbaum even points out two paragraphs, one from the NYT and one from the New York Post, as examples of how reporters in both papers are being forced to ‘sanitize’ their references to Harris’ alleged sexual affair with Jeb Bush.

    I;m starting to look forward to the GOP presidential candidate gaffe goof and/or garbage of the day.
    Especially when its Jeb?
    Could BJ make a daily feature?

    Could call it the ‘Daily GGG of the GOP!’

    While Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said earlier that Obama did not plan to meet with him, the President did speak briefly with the boy and gave him a hug.

    Jeb? as typical 16 year old Redditor.

    And for real Obama is the nerd deal. He’s participated in a lightsaber fight on WH grounds.

    First nerd President? Is “nerd” a relatively new creation?

    This’ll be fun. One of the oh so very few cultural artifacts featuring an empowered woman, and this is how she gets treated. Publicly. By a candidate for President of the United States. Is this still 2015?

    Superman, Superwoman, Supergirl… All these movies are boring as shit. Like Thor, or the Hulk, any character who can’t be hurt is a waste of time. Especially in fight scene where two invincible beings are pounding the snout out of each other – all I can think of is the poor people caught in the line of fire.

    Give me a superhero like Daredevil any day.

    I don’t go with ‘nerd’ as that’s someone IMHO more of a techie type. Geeks can come from anywhere and cosplay with the nerdiest of nerds.

    Well, it is/was Back to the Future day so I guess it is appropriate for Jeb! to remain caught in some horrible loop in time where he keeps committing gaffe after gaffe.

    And remember folks…..he is the smart Bush.

    My people had wrist abacuses.

    Well, bear paws are too big to work a slide rule.

    Yeah, and they would tend to leave the slip stick all sticky and stuff, what with the sugar glaze gunking up the works. What?

    The Shelob of Kennebunkport’ – now cleaning coffee off keyboard

    Thank goodness I wasn’t drinking anything when I read that, because it would have been ‘me, too’!

    Damn – Anne really nailed it with that turn of phrase. Bar Bush will forever be the Shelob of Kennebunkport in my mind.
