Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

I really should read my own blog.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

    Between 10 and 11 am PST I couldn’t access this site. I don’t know when it cleared up but it was after 11(2 est).

    It was this morning, but it wasn’t just you. jameswolcott.com (for instance) was also inaccessable at the same time. In both cases the host names were not resolving.

    All morning, and oddly, I couldn’t get on Instapundit or your site for pretty much the exact same period. All’s well now with both, and in fact, B-J (heh heh) seems a little faster than usual.

    I was having trouble getting to the site for a little while. But I think it was my wireless connection. When I plugged in a few minutes ago, things went back to normal.

    All day, until 5:30 P.M. Carpetbagger Report also had the same problems as well – long loading time leading to blank screen. But I am on AOL – Lord knows they could have problems.

    Well, the moment I start gloating the link goes kaput for awhile. Chagrined, I swear to resist gloating at least until the next opportunity arises.

    Speaking of which…

    May I suggest a thread dedicated to my scoring opening-day Steelers tickets? I’ll be so close that Roethlisberger will think I’m open.

    Hosting Matters was having routing issues or something similar earlier… one of the reasons many blogs were unaccessable.

    For me: no Balloon Juice all day (Tues 8/30)

    No problems with the regular site since my last comment, but I just noticed that I haven’t gotten anything on the RSS feed since post #5420 (“Ruthless Gangster, Definition Villain”).
