Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Just a few bad apples.

Militantly superior in their own minds…

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

What fresh hell is this?

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Saul Alinsky is my co-pilot.

Han shot first.

It’s not even safe to go out and pick up 2 days worth of poop anymore.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

This really is a full service blog.

There will be lawyers.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Let there be snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

Something seems odd about that, but i have been drinking.

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

Where tasty lettuce and good mustard aren’t elitist.

Nevertheless, she persisted.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Props to WV Blogger Don Surber, who made the Opinion Journal’s Best of the Web today:

West Virginia’s Sen. Robert Byrd “is running scared,” according to blogger Don Surber, a Mountain State journalist. Last week, as Surber noted, the National Republican Senatorial Committee began airing anti-Byrd ads, and now Byrd is airing back. Surber transcribes the Byrd ad:

Announcer: Out-of-state special interests are running false attack ads against our Sen. Robert Byrd. Their agenda: privatize social security and tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas.

Man in blue shirt: I’m Sgt. Jared Towner and I served in Iraq. Sen. Byrd has provided for us, bringing jobs to West Virginia, funding schools and hospitals, protecting our jobs and supporting our troops.

Byrd: I’m Robert Byrd. I approved this ad because the people of West Virginia deserve the truth.

Noting that Byrd “never was re-elected by less than 30 percent,” Surber sees the early ad as a show of weakness: “West Virginia may have its first truly contest Senate race in 22 years.”

Good show.

    Rome Again

    I gotta tell you John, I have respect for the fact that he carries a copy of our Constitution in his pocket and tries to educate others about what it says; but to be quite honest, any member of the Democratic party who once belonged to an organization of racist bigots either started out with little to no marbles and developed them late (and must therefore apologize profusely, publicly and often in admitting he did those things but finally realized how wrong it was) or never had the integrity that a Democratic senator should have (of course, quite a few of our Dem congresspeople these days don’t have much integrity at all and I fully admit that.) I would never vote for him personally. I guess it is a good thing for him that I don’t live in West Virginia.

    We both seem to be in the same boat don’t we? Both of us disappointed by our respective parties.
