Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Fight them, without becoming them!

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Via Sullivan, this shocking display of appeasement:

Obama is cleaning their clocks on this issue, and McCain would do himself a real service to stop taking advice from small men and internet tough guys who think AM radio show hosts are deep-thinkers.

PS- It would be wise to remember Baker’s nickname.

Wishing Ted Kennedy the very best in a very difficult situation – a malignant brain tumor (glioma) and possibly less than a year to live.

The diagnosis cast a pall over Capitol Hill, where the Massachusetts Democrat has served since 1962.

“All of the oxygen went out of the room,” when the news broke, said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who called Kennedy “a mentor.”

Some senators later wept as they publicly considered the potential mortality of a man who was at the center of nearly a half-century of some of the nation’s most important legislative issues.

Man, that sucks… big time.

As goes California…

California’s top court has ruled that a state law banning marriage between same-sex couples is unconstitutional.

The state’s Supreme Court said the “right to form a family relationship” applied to all Californians regardless of sexuality.

The revolution is happening and, pretty soon, you will all be required to gay marry!

Update: Schwarzenegger:

“I respect the Court’s decision and as Governor, I will uphold its ruling. Also, as I have said in the past, I will not support an amendment to the constitution that would overturn this state Supreme Court ruling.”

Bad Republican! (via Sullivan)
