Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

I was promised a recession.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

In my day, never was longer.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

This really is a full service blog.

Is This Racist?

A little ditty about Condeleezza Rice:

“Condoleezza” (Sung to the Nat King Cole classic, Mona Lisa)

“Condoleezza, Condoleezza, what you be doin’?
That neo-facist black-haired token schwarze dog.

“Is you there ’cause you a high-toned public Negro?
Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart?
Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza?
Or the way you wash and park the whiteys cars.

“Georgie junior says he trusts you, Condoleezza.
Who said our [unintelligible] off the greedy oil woes.
But then he make you clean all the White House bathrooms.
The public sink, the toilet and let’s scrub the floors.”

Hey Atrios– Is this racist? Where is the NAACP when you need them?

At the Shariah court of appeals here this morning, the chief judge presiding over the case of Amina Lawal, the peasant woman sentenced to death by stoning for having slept with a man who was not her husband, refused to comment on the guilt or innocence of the defendant before him.

It is “sub juris”

Verizon, Court Ordered Net Nanny

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Recording companies won a victory in their fight against online piracy on Tuesday when a U.S. court ordered Verizon Communications to turn over the name of a customer suspected of downloading more than 600 songs in one day over the Internet.

U.S. District Judge John Bates said Verizon must cooperate with recording industry efforts to track down online song swappers, rejecting the telecommunications giant’s assertion that such a move would violate customer privacy and turn it into an online copyright cop.

Verizon said it would appeal the decision.

The case could set an important precedent as the recording industry asks schools, businesses and Internet providers to help them track down individuals who they believe are cutting into CD sales by trading digital songs through “peer to peer” services like Kazaa.

You are not paranoid. They really are watching everything you do.

Weapons Inspector By Day, Pedophile By Night

Check out Scott Ritter:

Channel Six News has learned that Colonie Police arrested former UN Weapons Inspector and Delmar resident Scott Ritter two years ago as part of an Internet sex sting operation. Sources say Ritter was charged in June of 2001 for trying to lure a 16 year-old girl he met online to a Burger King. But that 16-year old girl was really a Colonie Police investigator. Sources say Ritter was charged with a misdemeanor, but the case was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal and a judge sealed the record. Ritter searched Iraq for weapons in the years following the Gulf War. More recently, he’s been speaking out against President Bush’s policies on Iraq and has been a frequent contributor on national and local newscasts, including Channel 6 News.

Is that a missile in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me, Mr. Ritter?

Seriously, though. Why was he not charged?

Gail Collins, Agent Provocateur Look-

Look- I am pro-choice, generally. I am against abortion, but I think people should be able to choose. I am in favor of parental notification, I am against partial-birth, and I find nothing wrong with a 24 hour waiting period. Some people believe differently, and they have very strong beliefs. I can respect that. Why can’t Gail Collins and the NY Times? Check out this headline:

The War Against Women

The Bush administration’s anti-choice obsession is resulting in a steady march into the past, to a time when pregnancy was more a matter of fate than choice.

Opposition to abortion and opposition to funding for abortion is not, no matter how you want to phrase it, a war on women.

I am really getting tired of the rhetoric of the left.
