Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

I really should read my own blog.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

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

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Consistently wrong since 2002

One way or another, he’s a liar.

We will not go back.

How stupid are these people?

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

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

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

This week must be the week all electronics in my household die. First the laptop, now my DVD player went tits up. The back-up isn’t progressive scan.

Grrr.

BTW- Is this a Zappa reference, or did this phrase appear somewhere else, first:

THANKS, GUYS! Army of Davids is now up to #78 on Amazon, which isn’t bad for a book that doesn’t come out for over a month. Keep those pre-orders coming; they’re much appreciated!

UPDATE: #66! With a bullet!

Just curious.

    What’s going on today? Is Pajamas Media starting a new viral ad campaign for power conditioners or something?

    I believe that Billboard charts indicate quickly rising or new singles with a bullet point. To be “number one with a bullet” means you either debuted at number one or got there very quickly, indicating a huge success.

    rising up the charts. I think it predates Zappa

    Yeah. This question is asked with some regularity, I guess. Zappa didn’t have to worry about that much, but Volman and Kaylan did, I think, in The Turtles.

    “With a bullet” means “increasing rapidly.”

    On a record “hit” chart, which is actually a sales chart, a bullet indicates rapidly increasing sales.

    “Number three with a bullet” indicates that the item is probably going to move up the chart quickly.

    The “bullet” was a bullet-shaped symbol used on the chart to indicate the items that were rising rapidly.

    Yes, I’d say it predated Frank Zappa.

    The “rapidly rising” reference is from Webster’s New World College Dictionary (“bullet”, 5)

    “First the laptop, now my DVD player went tits up.”

    Curiously, my DVD player also died, for no visible reason, three days ago, with a Battlestar Galactica disk in it. It was 55 weeks old.

    :-(

    I do have a backup in the computer, which I live in terror of a problem with, because I couldn’t possibly afford to fix it if one developed. And the idea of going back to the Pentium I backup with the 33k modem (instead of the speedy 49k I’m limited to in the modern one) is horrific.
