Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

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

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

When I was faster i was always behind.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

I really should read my own blog.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Election 2008

Hugh Hewitt Suicide Watch

by John Cole|  January 29, 200810:24 pm| 157 Comments

This post is in: Election 2008

McCain beats Romney handily, Giuliani is set to endorse McCain tomorrow, the Terminator is praising McCain and Nancy Reagan is gonna lend the mantle of Saint Ronnie to McCain, and Romney has been such an utter douchebag with his big money attack ads and phalanx of bootlicking supporters that Huckabee is going to stay in the race just to screw Romney. And if anyone deserves a right and proper screwing, it is that smarmy SOB Multiple Choice Mitt.

Maybe we should be less concerned with a Hugh Hewitt Suicide Watch and focussed on a John Cole Schadenfreude Watch.

The country could really do a lot worse than a McCain/Obama or McCain/Clinton match-up in November. No, the Republican race is not over, and Romney could still win, but I am going to watch the establishment freak out and I am going to love it.

No Balconies in Florida

If this exit polling is accurate, then Giuliani’s campaign is over.

This is undeniably a good thing for the country, and while they are probably too damned stupid to realize it, a good thing for the long-term health of the GOP. With this megalomaniac and authoritarian out of the race, I feel like the country just dodged a bullet.
