Laire McBaskill, STFU
What Liberals Need To Do Is Shut Up It is not the case that half the country works for the team D and half the country works for team R. We can debate a bit about how much getting team D elected is important relative to other kinds of political activism, but you can’t control […]
Graham Fancies Himself the Republican Chris Coons
There is so much delusional garbage spilling out whenever Coons or Graham speak. It must come from so much harkening unto, praying to, and beseeching the holy ghost for guidance. I hear the holy ghost really goes in for a lot of rambling bullshit. [In English if you please!]
Now Graham thinks he has Trump giving ground on Syria and the beautiful slat-wall/fence-thing.
Graham says the question for lawmakers is “can we stop hating each other enough up here to find a way forward that would be a win-win.”
Yeah. That’s always the question if your name is Coons or Graham. For everyone else, the question is, can Trump and the Republicans stop acting like complete assholes for ten minutes?

Dec. 29 Open Thread: All’s Fair When All’s Foul
Lots of people don’t get this, but all the lying and cheating Republicans do to gain office isn’t unique to them, and many of the techniques the Russians used on social media are perfectly legal if done by domestic actors. The only problem many Democrats had with the tactic is that Republicans beat them to […]

20. 19. 18. My fave frothy pop song of the year: 17. 16. 15. 14. 13. 12. Is it the video, or is it the song? Can’t decide. This seems about right: 11. Highest-ranked Philly-based artist on the list? Maybe yes, maybe no. Find out on New Year’s Eve day. Until then:
Dec. 28 Open Thread: Revenge of the Moderate
Did you think the progressive takeover of the Democratic Party was going to be easy? No chance, pal. Just take a look at the vitriol being spread by defeated Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill on her way out of Washington. She took her strongest shot at, of all people, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “She’s now talked about a […]

So, I Saw ‘Vice’ Today…
Liked it, didn’t love it. If the trailer makes you think it’s gonna be full of laffs, you’ll be disappointed. If you didn’t know what a monster Cheney was, you will after you’ve seen it. Most of the performances were of the ‘caricature’ variety. Yes, Christian Bale effectively inhabited Cheney, but Cheney’s emotional range, to […]
Song of the Day 12/25: John Gorka, “Christmas Bells”
As John Gorka explains, sort of, to this Dutch audience in 2013, the lyrics to “Christmas Bells” began as a Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem written in 1863 — on Christmas Day, in fact, just a month after his son was gravely wounded in the Civil War. His rumination on the existence of a supreme being […]
