Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

So many bastards, so little time.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

    It’s rare that one can find a blog with an unpredictable viewpoint on politics. John’s site is that unpredictable (a very good thing), unlike, say LGF, which has a reliable position on things political. Unfortunately, most sites fall into the predictable category, and are becoming, for me, increasingly boring as reading material and a forum for discussion. The commenters tend to take knee-jerk right-or-left stances and never cede ground, allowing their viewpoints to devolve into grade school, juvenile epithets. This tends to be most common, though, on Leftist sites, where the behavior seems to be encouraged (i.e. Kos/C&L/MyDD/DU,etc.). It’s hardly a shining example of democracy and discourse, so I can’t blame the guy for throwing in the towel.

    This is because it’s good politics. Look at the way the President responds to critics. He dismisses them and calls them names. This shows his “moral clarity” because he never backs down.

    The same is true of bloggers, radio hosts, everybody. Well for a short time period, then they jump into a fabricated complaint about BitchPhd and totally ridicule themselves. But that’s another story…

    LOL! Ok. I thought you were being serious.

    Now I realize it was just another excuse for a rightwing hack attack.
