Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

You know he’s going to shit a cat.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

It’s possible to be a liberal firebrand without crapping on the party.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

He really is that stupid.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

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

Take That, Tom

By now, almost everyone has heard Daschle’s odious remarks regarding Bush and diplomacy, but just in case you have not, here they are again one more time:

“I’m saddened,” Daschle, D-South Dakota, said in a speech to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. “Saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that we’re now forced to war. Saddened that we have to give up one life because this president couldn’t create the kind of diplomatic effort that was so critical for our country.”

Predictably, everyone in the Republican party exploded with anger, as they should have- Daschle is clearly being a partisan fool. However, the best response to Daschle so far has been from Rick Santorum:

“I think Senator Daschle clearly articulated the French position, and I just don’t think that is how most Americans see it.”
