Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.
The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.
It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!
This blog will pay for itself.
Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.
That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.
Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?
The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.
The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.
Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.
Peak wingnut was a lie.
There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.
It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.
With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.
One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.
The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.
I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.
GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.
Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!
Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.
I really should read my own blog.
Not loving this new fraud based economy.
So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.
President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

That was great. I can’t figure out who decided to run that AFTER the dumb California sketch where they just talk about roads. Those of us who can’t stay awake too well sometimes give up after the first sketch when it’s not funny.

Hilarious. When humor hits hard like that, it’s a force for good. I heard an interview with a comedian recently about how humor works – there has to be an underlying assumption of some truth or common experience that everyone in the comedian’s audience has to have or the joke doesn’t work. That’s why conservative humor is so much FAIL.

Great premise for a sketch, but something else is bothering me… I can’t quite put my finger on it…
I guess now that they’ve cast a black Obama, SNL has switched to yellowface?
El Cid
This was one of the best SNL skits for *many* years, irrespective of subject.
I laughed so hard during the “traditional sarcastic dancing” it was painful.
drunken hausfrau
What El Cid said. loved this.
ThresherK
It was missing one thing.
I said, at the time, “Where are the executives?”
Bubblegum Tate
I want to have Nasim Pedrad’s baby.

@Marc: Thoght the same thing. Though Hollywood in general seems to be able to do things with Asians they would never even try with other races.

I was going to complain about the autoplay, until I saw this skit cruelly torpedo and sink the S.S. First World Problems.
MobiusKlein
@Citizen_X: Well, autoplay does suck. And autoplay was invented here, and is usually controllable by the person embedding the video. It’s not that we can never complain, but we can have some perspective about it.
Like ‘irregardless’. Complain all you want about that word, but it’s just a dumb word.

I’m Asian and I laughed. Hard. Tears came out.
“What does America make? Hmmm….Does DIABETES count?”
Ben Cisco
“Let’s see – does diabeetus count as a product?”
BWAHAAHAAHAA.

@jibeaux:
If you’re from Southern California, the sketch is pretty funny. Not a knee slapper, but there is some sharp satire in how some Southern Californians define themselves in terms of zip codes and freeway access. I knew a college kid who would not date a woman because she lived in Anaheim. Too far to drive.
There used to be a bumper sticker that some who lived in the Beach Cities liked, “There is no life East of Sepulveda.”
Oh, hell yes!

Are we watching the same sketch? This sketch was unfunny, and worse, racist. I guess if you are an Apple fanboi, it was funny since it made fun of the tech pundits complaining about the iPhone 5, but otherwise…
W. Kiernan
Hey now where’s the NSFW tag? I know, I know, reading Balloon Juice and watching videos at work, shame on me! But I had to replay traditional sarcastic dance for the guy in the next cubicle on account of out-loud laughing.

@jibeaux:
Indeed. Thankfully I linger for Weekend Update, often with the sounds kinda low. The CA road sketch was dreck, more in keeping with the last 1/3 of the show.
@Parrotlover77: I did kinda wince at the lame fake-asian accents and characterizations. But they do pretty much the same to other categories, so I went with the whole piece slamming Apple for their labor, and all the fanboi ‘reviewers’ who don’t give a rat’s ass about labor exploits.
Thx for posting, Mister.

@Joeshabadoo: Well, there was Sal Mineo as a Native American—-
