Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

The willow is too close to the house.

The revolution will be supervised.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

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

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

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

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

More evidence that the War in Iraq has distracted us from the War on Terror:

Three men charged as part of a local jihad network have pleaded guilty to conspiracy and gun charges, with one admitting in federal court yesterday that he trained with firearms in Northern Virginia to prepare for a possible mission fighting for Muslims abroad.

Yong Ki Kwon, 27, told a federal judge in Alexandria that he also trained in Pakistan at a camp run by the Lashkar-i-Taiba organization, which is fighting to end Indian control over much of Kashmir and has been designated a terrorist group by the U.S. government. At the camp, he said, he fired weapons ranging from machine guns to rocket-propelled grenades.
