Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

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

The lights are all blinking red.

Tom MacArthur is a real piece of shit and you can watch his constituents yell at him here. His Democratic opponent, Andy Kim looks great.

Commenter gene108 writes:

Andy Kim is looking to unseat independently wealthy former insurance company CEO and two term Congressman Tom MacArthur in NJ-3. They are currently tied in recent polling.

Did I mention Tom’s rich? He spent $5 mil of his own money to win this seat in 2014. Republican PACs are already airing attack ads on Andy.

We are in the Philadelphia media market, which is expensive.

You know what to do.

    McArthur’s likely voter numbers are melting, in the rain,
    the sweet green icing flowing down….

    You’re an evil man, DougJ, and we love you for it.

    Kicked in $5/month. Started to watch the town hall, where he had them start by reciting the pledge of allegiance, then saw it was two hours long and gave up. Do all politicians do that? Feels like he’s treating them as children.

    @Mary G: The Pledge of A is Patriotic Theater, IMHO. It impresses the ones who are GOP/Curious/Fox “news”/occasionally.
    I find it insulting. I prove my patriotism by being a good citizen, not by repeating a jingoistic oath.

    I have come to the conclusion that I have either one very large screw loose, or many small ones, because …

    When I read the post title, my word association football “mind” jumped to Richard Harris as “The Singing Wizard,” and thinking it was a good thing Michael Gambon was able to step into that role so smoothly, no skin disease required.

    I only wish I had the excuse of having ingested too many hallucinogens or other mind-altering substances. Alas, ’tis not the case.

    Oy.

    @raven:

    The golden rays of golden sun
    Fall on your golden hair
    And I brush aside the golden sheet
    And see you golden there
    And I wonder what you and I
    Are going to do all day
    But I can’t think of anything
    I want to do or say
    And so I’ll have to do what I did yesterday
    And sing you

    Meaningless songs in very high voices
    With a thousand violins
    Meaningless songs in very high voices
    In a pair of tight gold jeans
    Meaningless songs in very high voices
    And Ah!… whatever that mean

    My dad worked for an insurer that in his view shifted from edgy to criminal with regard to IRS/tax compliance while he was working there. Once he was pretty sure they were breaking the law, he recorded everything. He spent years documenting everything. Recorded conversations with company officers, kept hardcopies of everything, contemporaneous notes, etc. When he had enough, he called up the IRS, handed it over, and retired.

    Always look out for #1.

    The world is very very large
    And butter is better than marge
    And love is better than hate
    The world is very very big
    And bacon comes from a pig
    But it’s you I really want on my plate
    So I’ll sing you

    Meaningless songs in very high voices

    @Smedley Darlington Prunebanks (formerly Mumphrey, et al.): Dave Barry rated that the worst song ever written. What the hell does it mean?

    I’m a big fan, I like Summer’s version but the original can’t be duplicated, its so corny with Richard Harris hamming it up. Here’s a link to Jimmy Webb (songwriter) commenting on the meanings of the song.

    When we were planning our wedding, I jokingly said to my wife that I wanted Macarthur Park as our last song (she selected the first song, I got last). She told me without a hint of humor that there would be no wedding if that were the case, she hates that song so much.

    @rikyrah: Duh, chief content officer for a tabloid has a recording device in his office. He’s basically the guy who determines how much they are going to pay for the stories people bring in, of course he wants everything on tape.
