Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

This blog will pay for itself.

He really is that stupid.

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

Petty moves from a petty man.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

In my day, never was longer.

I really should read my own blog.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

    Just got back home from running some errands. I was channel surfing on the radio and landed on an earnest interviewer asking a newspaper writer about how she maintains balance in her reporting.

    After a very vague beginning, the writer’s answer veered into complaint. She wished she could have written humor, like Nora Ephron did, but there are always so many serious topics to discuss: impeachment, that misbegotten war…

    And who was this reporter — Maureen Dowd!

    All this time I thought she thought she *was* writing humor, or at least a humorous take on things.

    Hear that thump, thump? It’s Nora, turning over in her grave. She might have been snarky but she was always judicious and serious.

    P.S. the show was Diane Rehm, the interviewer was a sub. Not that Ms. Rehm ever does any better…

    How many mailing lists did I just get added to, though? That’s a lot of campaigns.

    Timely, from Nate Silver on twitter:

    538’s U.S. Senate forecast just went live! Democrats are a narrow favorite: 2016 Senate Forecast | FiveThirtyEight

    538 has these same five senate races as the closest, and most likely to decide control of the chamber.
