Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The lights are all blinking red.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

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

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

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

I could have sworn I wrote this post yesterday, but now it is gone. Weird.

At any rate, I am not thrilled at all by Slate’s decision to have a daily ‘Kerryism’, just as they have had a daily ‘Bushism’ for the last several years. Some may say this is only fair, but I have to wonder how being unfair to a Democrat and being unfair to a Republican somehow balances out to neutrality.

For the past three years, the idiot Weiskopf has contorted, distorted, and willfuly misinterpreted and misrepresented Bush’s comments to make him look like and idiot and a fool. Now the Slate buffoons intend to do the same thing to Kerry, with the idea that he exaggerates and is a liar.

Color me unimpressed. If they really want to do a public service, fire the idiots doing the Bushisms and Kerryisms and hire someone to check their new stories for factual errors and institutional bias.

    Well, he does exaggerate and he is a liar, but I agree that doing this in the context of making someone look foolish is not a good idea. If they want to outline his lies and exaggerations in an objective and professional manner, I’m cool with that.

    Color me unsurprised. This is the state of political discussion in America these days. It seems nobody is interested in facts anymore. Just read the average post on the average blog. Look at the bottom of page two in your average newspaper and note the number of retractions. Objectivity and professionalism in politics and political discourse have gone the way of the dodo. Opinion, rhetoric, propaganda, misinformation, and even slander are the order of the day. I guess you can color me cynical too, but at least it matches the jaded glasses through which I’ve viewed the world lately.

    The most recent had Kerry saying “ultimately”at the beginning and end of a sentence… Now that’s funny.
