Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

So very ready.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

People are weird.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

You know he’s going to shit a cat.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

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

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

You are here: Home / Politics / Media / Oh, the Humanity!

    Worse than the potato famine even. It’s like living in hiding from the Nazis and having nothing to eat but rotten potatoes and canned pickles like Adrian Brody in The Pianist.

    You’re welcome! :+)

    And speaking of Hoekstra, you know, I’m thinking about getting bombed tonight, so I’ll know what The Siege of Bastogne felt like!

    I just saw my first “Where’s the Birth Certificate” billboard in PA – It’s on East I-78 near Kutztown. I nearly flipped the car trying to get a cameraphone picture, but wasn’t fast enough :(

    Have you guys seen the new site “Pete Hoekstra is a Meme”? petehisameme.wordpress.com/

    Here are a couple of my faves:

    Stuck inside working from home today. Now I know how Anne Frank felt.

    stepped over a puddle in the parking lot today — felt like Moses leading his people out of Egypt

    The local cafe ran out of soup just before I went up for lunch; now I know what the Irish Potato Famine was like.

    Chill out, Howie. Everyone knows who’ll be first in line at John McCain’s July 4th BBQ.

    I just had gender reassignment surgery. Now I know what it feels like to be a woman.

    …what?

    I mean, huh?

    I swear, twitter is a compressive force on the political continuum which is causing not just wingularities but also oddball press singularities.

    @Laura W: Yeah, but on mute and listening to live Dave Matthews Band (don’t start with me, people). Heard most of POTUS, and then started kickin’ out the jams.

    Wha hoppen?

    Thank god for twitter. Now people can gain self importance by relaying utterly useless information to more people faster than ever.

    Me, I havent participated in any ‘social networking’ system yet. I’m just waiting for the last one to be developed before jumping in.

    I haven’t seen any Tunch or Lily pictures today. Now I know how baby seals feel as they’re being clubbed.

    Kurtz did give the dish on Fox setting up Major Garrett with Carrie Prejean. Poor Julie, stuck at home writing up her next article on balancing motherhood and journalism, waiting for the next call to appear in a segment about balancing motherhood and journalism, wondering if she should start Twittering about balancing motherhood and journalism…

    Funny, I don’t seem to recall Howie ever complaining about the life of “wretched excess” when the wine was flowing more freely.

    These people act as if they honestly believe that the job description of a journalist is to simply get free food and drink at cocktail parities. They confuse journalistic talent with the ability to RSVP for a party, and, on top of that, they think they actually deserve respect for it.
