Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

The willow is too close to the house.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

People are complicated. Love is not.

I really should read my own blog.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

This really is a full service blog.

I’m sure the New York Times will tell us that folks at Applebee’s are all making millions off Australian biotech firms by engaging in illegal insider trading, but I think Chris Collins (NY-27) could be in real political trouble after his arrest. It’s a tough district for Dems but the Democratic candidate, Nate McMurray is solid and can give Collins a fight. I don’t think this district will attract much outside money because of its Cook PVI (R + 11), so it’s a good place to kick in a buck.

    Ooooh, bigfooting the boss just to add insulting to injury! Me likey! (Mom’s right, BTW.) And yes, the Collins race should start getting attention….can’t believe the long list of scandals attached to Dolt45. Collins was the first rep to support Dolt45 for pres. You’re all shocked, I can tell.

    I got to greet my co-worker’s little dude this morning as he was being taken to daycare, so that brightened up my morning. I like other people’s children — they’re cute and fun to play with and I can hand them back as soon as they start misbehaving.

    He is toast. These are easy cases. And members of the Board of Directors who tip get criminally prosecuted. What a sleaze.

    @Platonailedit: Collins made the public statement that he intends to defend himself vigorously and has faith that he will be exonerated. After all, he’s a Republican, he has to like his chances.

    @Shalimar: It’s like Theranos. You’d almost think that there are people who have worked out that high flying Republicans can be easily scammed with some pseudo scientific goobly gook and the prospect of big profits.
