It’s amazing. It’s almost like everything we’re hearing from Republican lawmakers about how America can’t afford to pay pensions is … total bullshit. It’s almost like even if all those fatcat union workers are spending their money on T-bone steaks, that still benefits … the cattle industry. Astonishing.

The Wisconsin State Journal doesn’t WANNA GO TO SCHOOL and you’re being SO MEAN MAKING US and one of these days OUR REAL MOM WHO’S A PRINCESS WILL COME AND TAKE US AWAY FROM HERE and THEN YOU’LL BE SORRY.

The NYT’s Charles Blow tried to make a funny about Romney’s magic underwear, failed, and got smacked around for it,

We can’t sit here and rule things out of bounds to talk about on the basis of somebody said the word “god” and now that means we all have to stop questioning.

Whip me, beat me, take away my charge card, I would like to kiss this entire speech by Digital First CEO John Paton with tongue.

For what it’s worth, I have zero problem with people buying each other gifts or going out for a nice meal, if that’s what turns your crank. I have a major, major problem with yet another potentially sweet holiday being turned into a festival of misogyny and meanness.

This has got to be my all-time favorite excuse for racist behavior EVER. “I wasn’t insulting black people, I was insulting Asian people! Also people with ears, as regards the Linkin Park thing. What, that’s no cool anymore?”

Our paranoid culture of rooting out fraud and our fear-mongering media that makes every anecdote a proof the system is corrupt, make it harder for people who need help to get it.

The public wants better news than it’s getting.

This is a war. Which is why you don’t start them in the first place. Which is why you don’t start them unless you absolutely have to. Unless you know you have no other choice. Unless you know how to end them as quickly as possible. Unless you’re ready not only for what will be done to your enemies, but what doing that will do to you. Unless you think you can carry that, because you sure as hell can’t prevent it all.

That’s not what Loesch meant, but it is what she said, however unintentionally.

This is a war.

Now comes this pampered suburban dick who is ever so concerned that the constant reminder of people who are poor and screwed will upset everybody. Why, people will just be unable to get out of bed, if they have to hear mean ads describing exactly how Republicans wrecked the economy and tried to blame the goddamn janitors for it.
