AND THEY DIDN’T EVEN USE ALL CAPS!!! LOLOLOL. You might think you have some rabid tea partiers in your area, tea partiers that are the worst of the worst, more steeped in vitriolic tea than anybody else’s tea partiers. You might think you have the most over-the-top, unhinged, detached from reality tea partiers of all of the unmoored tea partiers […]

“I’m waiting for leadership from the legislature…” This Sunday, Rick Snyder begins his effort to convince Michigan voters that he’s something other than what he is with a nearly half million dollar Super Bowl ad just as he did in 2010. This will be followed by a rebranding tour, of sorts, that begins on Monday. The rebranding is sure to […]

Oh, hardy har har har…

A recent fundraising email from GOP.com was disguised as a “help us pick our presidential candidate for 2016” poll. The list of candidates shows in vivid detail just how shallow their bench actually is.

Check it out after the jump.

How’s that first-class bigotry thing working out for you, Dave? This has been a really crappy week for Michigan’s most (in)famous bigot Dave Agema. He’s been getting a shipload of abuse from every corner and it’s no longer just us dirty hippies that are calling him out. He’s been getting a rasher of fecal matter from the likes of Fred […]

A conservative extremist grifter. What are the odds…? Now that Dave Agema is under attack from the right, left, and every other side, he seems to have turned to grifting to shore up support (and his bank account.) Last week he posted a new event on his Facebook page called “RNC Update with Dave Agema”: Yes, that’s right. For only […]

Aye, aye, aye… The other day I wrote about GOP Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land’s raging case of Obamacare Derangement Syndrome. Buried in the list of tweets was one that really stands out as comically laughable and proof positive that this woman has no business running for national office: Yep. Terri Lynn Land is now reduced to claiming your car […]

Comprehension fail much? The National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC) and Terri Lynn Land are so eager to continue to beat the anti-Affordable Care Act drum that they appear to have lost all ability to distinguish between it and any other discussion about health care. This was made comically clear over the past two days following an appearance by U.S. Department […]

Visions of good government danced in their heads… Congressman John Dingell with some bald blogger. Photo by Anne C. Savage Every year, Congressman John Dingell, the Dean of the House of Representatives and someone I’m proud to call a personal friend, pens a holiday jingle. This year’s is a perfect summary of the year past and the Republican-fueled gridlock that […]

I hate to tell you this, but it’s not going to work The Republican party is in desperation mode trying to ingratiate themselves with the African American community. Having spent the last several decades using race-baiting techniques to drum up support with southern whites, they’ve suddenly seen the light and know that, unless they can begin appealing to the black […]

The unstoppable force meets the immovable object Our pit bull Suni and our cat Spooky adore each other. However, sometimes one’s happiness gets in the way of the others happiness. No, we did not glue the cat down.

Sunday afternoon mental health break Let’s take a break from politics and enjoy 95 seconds of epic awesomeness. Watch this way cool dance-off between a young man and an usher with the moves at a Pistons game this past week. The whole thing was caught on the State Farm Dance Cam. Too fun. Everybody dance now…
