Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

How stupid are these people?

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Their shamelessness is their super power.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

So very ready.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

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

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

    Just a wristwatch, and a smile.

    In that case, thank you for doing your part in keeping it gay *and* keeping it light!

    Waitaminute, you’re gay?

    Damn, what happened to all those girl/girl videos I sent you?

    OMG. Gays in space? I feel a whole new fund raising campaign in the works!

    (I always thought Kirk & Spock were verrry close.)

    We’re here!
    We’re queer!

    queer

    • adjective 1 strange; odd. 2 informal, derogatory (of a man) homosexual. 3 Brit. informal, dated slightly ill.

    Indeed…

    Punchy

    OT: This is funny…

    Before a debate with challenger Don Hilliard, Rep. John Peterson (R-PA) “asked everyone to say the Pledge of Allegiance.” Unfortunately, “there was no American flag anywhere in the hall to pledge allegiance to.” “So the moderator, spotting Peterson’s wide, American flag-themed tie, asked everyone to turn their attention to Peterson, who obliged by putting his right hand over his breast and holding his tie out for the crowd to revere.”

    Lee Says: But…is it true?

    Unfortunately, it is true. God Damn him to an eternal wasteland of 100 million hells.

    John:
    Are you telling me I have wasted a year and a half lusting after you in my dreams? ;-)

    John, nobody cares if you are gay or not.

    But you have to step up and admit you are a closeted progressive, rather than trying to hide your true nature with your incessant Sheehan bashing, etc….

    How did Mr. Cole serve in the military…in those hot, sweaty, enclosed tanks with other hot, sweaty, beefy men…if he was gay? It is a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, or more like a “please touch, don’t tell” policy?

    Wonkette, which nailed Foley DAYS before anyone else, says another R is doomed

    It’s usually the Nat’n Equire of blog stories, but sometimes they get it right…just throwing it out there…

    Let’s all do our best to keep it gay.

    Monica Bellucci is all kinds of serious hot.

    So is Salma Hayek.

    And Sine:

    John:
    Are you telling me I have wasted a year and a half lusting after you in my dreams?

    He’s not confirming anything one way or another, so as to not alienate his many lustful fans, be they male or female. It’s very Ricky Martin of him…

    That vid clip led me to these from the same night (William Shatner Roast on Comedy Central):

    Laughed my ever’lovin’ ass off.

    Big Picture, John….don’t sweat it…you are in good company! I mean, come on…Sulu!! Who could ask for more? Er…well, yeah. Don’t bother answering that.

    Crowd: “We’re here! We’re queer! We don’t want any more bears”

    Lenny: Hey, that’s a pretty catchy chant. Where did you hear it?

    Homer: Oh, I heard it at the moustache parade they have every year.

    Well, John is the blogosphere’s equivalent of the gay man around whom women like to hang at the pick-up bar because he’s considered non-threatening.
