Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

75% of people clapping liked the show!

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

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

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Everybody saw this coming.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

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

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Our Irish friends missed Burns Day this year so tonight everybody has to attend their Paddy’s Day party in a kilt.

In honor of the wrong holiday, here is the poem that I read at the last Burns Day.

AE fond kiss, and then we sever;
Ae fareweel, alas, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I’ll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I’ll wage thee!

Who shall say that Fortune grieves him
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me, nae cheerfu’ twinkle lights me,
Dark despair around benights me.

I’ll ne’er blame my partial fancy;
Naething could resist my Nancy;
But to see her was to love her,
Love but her, and love for ever.

Had we never loved sae kindly,
Had we never loved sae blindly,
Never met—or never parted,
We had ne’er been broken-hearted.

Fare thee weel, thou first and fairest!
Fare thee weel, thou best and dearest!
Thine be ilka joy and treasure,
Peace, enjoyment, love, and pleasure!

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!
Ae fareweel, alas, for ever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I’ll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I’ll wage thee!

Chat about whatever.

    I just wanted to offer Paddy O’Shea some comfort, since nobody showed up for this party after several hours, at least you got the Irish Spring advertisement on the forum today Paddy. I hope that makes you feel better. ::smiles::

    St. Paddy’s day …. named after the patron saint of Irish Expertise on Potato Plant Genetics?

    St. Paddy’s day …. when a little tiny country full of belligerant drunks decides that everybody in the world should wear a fucking green necktie and drink stupid green beer?

    Enjoy, everyone. Really, I mean it in the most nurturing way.

    No one doubted the finality of Perry’s message. The OMB, which sets the course for nearly every proposal coming out of the White House, is a much-feared department that raises or lowers its thumb on policy priorities, a sort of mini-Caesar at the interagency coliseum. But Philip Perry could boast one more source of authority: he was, and is, the husband of Elizabeth Cheney, and son-in-law of Vice President Dick Cheney. After Perry spoke, only Bostock dared to protest, though to little effect. “He was obnoxious,” Bostock recalls.

    I’m so sick of this nepotistic crap. Can we please have a government where family members don’t get preferential treatment?
