Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it’s a trap.

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

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

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

“But what about the lurkers?”

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

How are the Dead Voters

How are the Dead Voters Ever going to Figure Out Who the Democrat Candidate Is?

A mistake would have had absentee voters in rural northwest Missouri are choosing between Republican Jean Carnahan and Democrat Jim Talent in a US Senate race. How’s that again? Yes, officials confirmed Monday that the party affiliation of the two Senate candidates was reversed on thousands of ballots printed for Holt County. Carnahan, of course, is a Democrat now serving in the Senate, and Talent is her Republican challenger.

Fortunately, the mistake has been caught in time, otherwise a friendly judge in St. Louis might have had to keep the polls open later so that the dead could figure out who to vote for. Don’t want anyone ‘disenfranchised,’ now, do we? Except for living voters who vote for candidates other than Democrats.

Alright, by now everyone knows that Torricelli is out of the race. I’m only gonna comment on the GOP’s desire to block a replacement candidate. Guys, grow up. Yes, you’re technically right. By the law, they probably can’t put in a replacement candidate. But take the high road, will ya?

Since when did insisting that election law be followed as it was written constitute taking the low road???

*** Update ***

Bo Cowgill agrees with me.

Are There ANY Decent Democrats?

Two aides to Sandy Berger have this to say in a new book:

More broadly, the authors argue that the Bush administration failed to respond to the terrorist threat before the Sept. 11 hijackings. Senior military officers who served during the Clinton-Bush transition are quoted in the book as saying that terrorism moved “farther to the back burner” in the early days of the Bush administration

Is Barbara Streisand the Most

Is Barbara Streisand the Most Vain Person on the Planet?

Let’s put aside the bizarre political opinions.

Let’s put aside the fact that she thinks she should be able to influence political policy because many think she can sing well and she has earned a great deal of money.

Let’s put aside what she charges for concerts.

Let’s put aside that she is a singer, and she has her own self-adulating web-site rife with her political opinions.

I can put all that aside- but this is too much. In her defense (displayed prominently on her website) of the memo riddled with spelling errors that she sent to ‘Dick Gebhardt’ last week, she is not content telling us that it was dictated by phone and that her assistant made the mistake. That by itself is boorish- where I work, the boss is in charge of quality control, not the underlings. But check out this gem:

THE IRONIC FURTHER TRUTH.. Hidden in this example of diverted news priorities is the fact that Barbra Streisand is a former spelling bee champion, meticulous in her written communications!

That’s right, folks. All that AND a spelling bee champ!

*** UPDATE ***

Apparently, although she is a spelling bee champion, Babs is not a Shakespeare buff. According to Drudge, she was fooled by an internet hoax and recited a fake quote at a DNC Gala. Here is the Snopes debunking of the quote.

What a Maroon!

More Noise Before The Storm

The United States hit determined opposition from Russia and France over its stance on Iraq on Monday, threatening its bid for tough new U.N.-imposed arms inspection rules as experts met in Vienna to discuss them.

I am sure that this story will be used by some to create an image of a unilateralist image of the United States and our renegade and dangerous President. If there is anything I have learned, it is that Bush’s policy opponents squeal the loudest right before completely they completely capitulate.
