Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Consistently wrong since 2002

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

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

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Our messy unity will be our strength.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Republicans do not trust women.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

    Joe Scarborough Slams Mitt Romney: ‘A Real Conservative Would Be Winning’

    Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
    The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
    And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
    But there is no joy in Mudville — mighty Mitt has struck out.

    @BGinCHI: Who is this “Bush” person referred to in those charts? I poked around the transcripts of the RNC convention and similar sources a bit, but could not find any mention of this person.

    @MikeJ: It’s stunning, eh?

    That’s one fucking stellar echo chamber over there on the right.

    The public employment numbers just floor me. You know the second there’s a GOP Prez those are going straight back up. What a world we live in.

    And the people that cheer loudest for cutting public jobs complain the most if they have to wait 10 minutes at the DMV.

    I suspect Joe is happy as a clam with his new gig, getting paid big bucks for being an idiotic redneck jerk, just like he’s always been. Where the worst that can happen is Mika making a funny face at him for saying stupid shit.

    FORT WALTON BEACH, FL. – Lori Klausutis, a 28-year-old office worker for Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-Fl), was found dead in the congressman’s district office. Police said preliminary findings from the medical examiner’s office showed no foul play or any outward indication of suicide.

    I and my whole family are near sighted. I find it shocking that there exist people, who do not need to wear glasses.

    I wonder how many people are actually near sighted and do near sighted people just attract to each other and produce near sighted off-spring?

    I got conned into going back to the job that I recently left for an emergency ‘repair’ task today. It turned out to be the simplest sort of user service that the most cursory glance at the machine would have revealed. I’ve ruined these people. My strategy was to repair their equipment and train them to keep it up. What happened was I repaired their equipment and they got complacent and dumb. They’re doomed without me. I won’t go back.

    I was thinking it would be good if Punditry had coaching. If a pitcher leaves fat hanging curve balls over the plate for batters to spank over the center field bleacher he gets an early shower for his trouble. If a TV talking head does it, no consequences. We need someone to call a time out and change pundits when their brains go soft. Well, I can dream…

    @MikeJ:
    Some asshat from the McCain campaign was on NPR yesterday telling us that unleashing the EPA to make draconian new regulations is one leading reason our economy is in the toilet.

    I wish I were making that up. I guess the responsible thing would have been to leave them tied up in the closet, where they’d been the previous eight years. Speaking of being locked in the closet, this story is simply appalling. Putting a kid in a duffel bag is appropriate treatment at a school?

    @RossInDetroit, Rational Subjectivist: My dad used to run a couple of swimming pools in a townhouse complex in Chicago for a summer job. He did it from the beginning and he knew the filtration system inside out. He sought a little raise in the summer of 65 and the association declined. He said, “OK, have at it”. No one could figure the damn thing out. He got the $$.

    @raven:

    Yeah, I don’t wanna go back. They decided to save money by not buying replacement parts for machines about last Nov. By spring busted stuff was piling up. $6,000 machine useless for want of $150 in service parts, etc. That’s when I decided they weren’t serious about repairs and started looking elsewhere. Too bad. The work was hard but I liked the people and I had a great boss. But they’re on their own now.
