Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

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

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

    Hehe, those college news services are a gold mine of unintentional humor.

    I once got one from my alma mater about a trip to a park on Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive that said “LSD Trip Promises Unique Experience.”

    I saw a book once of accidentally hilarious headlines, but unfortunately I’ve never been able to find the same thing online. Probably my favorite: “Bishop defrocks gay priest.” Second best: a photo caption talking about Johnny Cash and his wife, but it’s under a picture of Johnny Cash and a horse.

    I saw a book once of accidentally hilarious headlines,

    Sounds like “Red Tape Holds Up Bridge”, by Jay Leno (he had (has?) a regular bit on funny headlines). Here’s one site (among many) that has a bunch, probably taken from that book.

    New FEMA Chief
    Paulison Is Skilled at Disasters

    By Spencer S. Hsu and Christopher Lee
    Washington Post Staff Writers
    Tuesday, September 13, 2005; Page A12

    R. David Paulison, appointed yesterday as acting director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has encountered disaster before: three months before Hurricane Andrew laid waste to part of South Florida in 1992, he became chief of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department.

    Brown, Chertoff and Bush were not prepared for this foreseen tragedy, but FEMA’s lack of readiness was predicted. By Witt, it turns out. In March 2004, he testified at a hearing conducted by two House subcommittees.

    …

    In an effort to build other Directorates within DHS that need more help, vital pieces of the Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate–FEMA–are being moved or underfunded to prop up these other very critical areas. Programs–like the very successful Fire Grants–are being moved out of FEMA. And the Emergency Management Performance Grants (EMPG) which provide the backbone to our emergency management systems are being cut and significantly restructured in a very detrimental way. In fact some estimates suggest that the 25-percent cap on personnel costs within the EMPG could result in more than half of the country’s 4,000-plus emergency managers losing their jobs. By throwing all of these disparate pieces together in the DHS stew, we have not only diluted the concentration on some of the most critical parts of our counterterrorism efforts, but we are allowing scarce resources to be directed away from consequence management. Our Nation’s emergency management system has often been held up as an international model; however, this country’s well-oiled emergency management infrastructure–that has been built over many years–is now in great jeopardy as DHS attempts to build capabilities in other areas of the Department.
