Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

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

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Republicans do not trust women.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

But does it cure male pattern baldness and impotence? The buffoons at the NY Times spend more column inches on CFR, or as we call it here, the LARGE MEDIA MONOPOLY EMPOWERMENT ACT (aka McCain Feingold). I should keep a running tally on the number of column inches they spend promoting CFR, and I should see how many issues they attempt to connect it to.

It appears that there is going to be a blue-light special at K-Mart. One good thing about recessions in our economy- it makes businesses that should not exist or that have out-lived their purpose face facts. It does not take an award-winning economist to figure out why K-Mart will soon be bankrupt. Go visit the one in your hometown, and the reasons will be abundantly clear.

Just noticed this blurb in the Best of the Web.

Somali-American “community leaders” in Minneapolis–home of America’s biggest concentration of Somali immigrants–are calling for a boycott of “Black Hawk Down,” “charging the new movie depicts their African homeland’s people as savages and could create a backlash against refugees who fled to the United States,” the Associated Press reports.

“The Somali people are depicted as very savage beasts without any human element,” Omar Jamal of the St. Paul-based Somali Justice Advocacy Center, tells the AP. “I’s just people shooting each other.”

People shooting each other? In a war movie? This is shocking! It’s not totally unheard of, though. A few years ago, we went to see “Saving Private Ryan,” and it, too, featured people shooting each other. How come German-Americans didn’t boycott?

The answer of course, is simple. German-Americans are white and predominantly Christian, and thus not afforded professional victim class designation.

Greg Hlatky at A Dog’s Life discusses the Korean practice of eating dogs.

I like dogs more than most people, so I think it should be clear where I stand on this issue.

Just watched Alan Keyes’s new show. It will not make it. Too C-spanish. He did have an interesting discussion about the military tribunals with some members of the proletariat that he brought on, but overall the show seemed to be four hours long, when in fact it was only one.
