Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, man.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

The choice is between normal and crazy.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

I really should read my own blog.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

No one could have predicted…

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

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

It looks like winning debates is a black job!

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

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

These were the least competent political criminals since… well, thinking about it, neither the Watergate burglars nor Ollie North’s merry band of mercenaries were exactly masterminds, either. And as cynical political observers keep pointing out, no halfway successful lawbreaker would be dumb enough to work for the sundowning narcissist currently occupying the Oval Office — it’s all nitwits, has-beens and wanna-bes.

    They say a fool and his money are soon parted. How did the fool and his money get together in the first place?

    Are there really people stupid enough to believe Trump’s transparently phony claim of innocence? (he thundered naively.)

    Today you are the cube of four,
    The square of eight, and so much more!

    Power six of number two,
    In black and white, a chessboard, you!

    The cube of four, the square of eight,
    A number fit to celebrate!

    Perfect cube and perfect square:
    Such perfection’s rather rare.

    A million, you, in binary;
    In Roman terms, LXIV.

    Are you feeling rather keen?
    Quadruple, then, the sweet sixteen.

    In 64 A.D., I learned,
    Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

    Sex is incompatible with the afterlife, don’tcha know.

    Are you talking Heaven or Hell? My favorite teachers in HS were elderly sisters, very sharp, traveled all over the world back in the 50s and 60s — one of their favorite sayings was “Heaven for climate, Hell for good Company”!!

    Oh, guess what happened 64 years ago today?

    @J R in WV: I met an old guy who mentioned funeral planning. He said he didn’t want to be cremated, “I don’t want to burn twice.”
