Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

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

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Kill This Bill, Please

The Prescription Drug Vote Buying Scheme must be stopped:

We had hopes that a GOP Medicare reform might do so, but this bill’s fine print reveals that short-term politics has overwhelmed the policy. Republicans are offering the certainty of trillions in new entitlements in return for the mere promise of future reform, and that’s too expensive a gamble for principled conservatives to support.

Bunch of idiots, these Republicans. If they had any brains or balls, they would write the right kind of bill, one that all Democrats would vote against, and then we would not have to worry about this enormous ill-advised giveaway or the Democrats running their mouths about it all election cycle, as they would be the ones who killed the bill.

Precisely what is wrong with means testing, again?

Impressive

Under the guise of ‘investigative journalism,’ Josh Marshall and Nick Confessore bring you something special-a 293 word and a 4,253 word circumstantial argument ad hominem.

Impressive. To spare you the grief of reading the pieces- a PR firm, which specializes in astrotruf, publishes Tech Central Station. The PR firm takes money from evil corporations, and the ideological bend of Tech Central Station is such that it often is supportive of many of the causes of those who pay for advertising. Which means that Josh doesn’t like their viewpoints, is too lazy to attack the arguments individually, and would rather just smear the whole publication.

Why does this guy get so much respect? Does anyone here care where Josh Marshall makes his money? The NY Times? The National Review? Tech Central Station? The Weekly Standard? The Nation?

Well- I guess Josh and Nick do.

I don’t know if I have it in me to watch cable news anymore, particularly with the new Michael Jackson issue (who would have everg uessed he really was a sexual predator?). Kobe, Scott Peterson, Michael Jackson, the Sniper trials- I think I am going to be sick.

[sarcasm] You know who the real loser in all this is- Jon Bonet. [/sarcasm]

Gay Marriage

I officially refuse to become mired in the gay marriage debate because I simply do not care what consenting adults do in the bedroom. Unless it is my bedroom, thank you very much.

I find this whole issue to be tedious and offensive. In fact, I talked about this briefly before, and I realize now how much of a non-issue this really is for me. Almost enough for me to turn off coments on this thread.

You Simply Can Not Stop Good Ideas

Despite the best efforts of a coalition composed mainly of fierce partisans on the left, with a few know-nothings, illiterate hacks, and some cowards on the right, a good idea will see the light of day.

A U.S. government plan to create a market allowing traders to bet on the likelihood of terror attacks and other events in the Middle East has been revived by the private firm that helped develop it.

The market, called the Policy Analysis Market (PAM), will allow traders to buy and sell contracts on political and economic events in the Middle East, including assassinations, the overthrow of regimes and terrorist attacks. The market is scheduled to start trading next spring.

It originally was developed and funded with the assistance of the Defense Department, where officials cited the uncanny ability of other futures markets to predict election results, weather patterns and other complex events.

Heated public criticism forced the Pentagon to end its association with the project, but its Web site, which was idle for several months, now has an announcement saying it will be open for business in March 2004.

Now that Poindexter is gone, look for liberals to explain how this system is really different from the old system and that they don’t really mind this version. This was a good idea, this remains a good idea, and Ron Wyden and Byron Dorgan can kindly shut up and talk about something they understand.
