Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wait, what?

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

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

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

So very ready.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

    This seems like the appropriate place to say FU to whichever commenter got “Do Me” by Bell Biv Devoe intermittently popping into my head the past couple weeks.

    First time I’ve heard The Beatles called “a weird earworm”. I usually just call them The Fucking Beatles.

    There’s a Fleetwood Mac tribute featuring a bunch of indie bands due out in the fall, and some of the tracks are staring to appear in various places. I’m headed over to NPR to hear Best Coast’s take on “Rhiannon.” I fear that my pathetic, Humbert-esqe crush on Bethany Cosentino is about to get worse.

    One of the special trials of parenthood is the Disney Earworm. Try functioning with “Circle of Life” or “Whistle While You Work” or “High-Ho” rattling around in your head. And then there are the more obscure Disney products… I’m ashamed to admit to having the theme song to “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” stuck in my head for a few days.

    I watched America’s Got Talent, and the producers oh-so-creatively used the “Tears stream… Down your face…” part of Coldplay’s “Fix You”, and I was reminded just how much I hate that overwrought piece of dreck. And now I have the over-dramatic chord part in my head. FUCK.

    From the wikipedia page on Back in the U.S.S.R.:

    As further evidence of The Beatles’ supposed “pro-Soviet” sentiments, the John Birch Society magazine cited the song.

    Fuckin’ idiots. Idiots then, and idiots now, in their Teatard and Paulista forms.

    Back in the late ’80’s my alt-rock band covered this. Woo-ooooooos and all.

    There’s nothing “weird” about this song, John. I think the word you’re looking for is AWESOME.
