DDM here, drinking an Irish Coffee and wondering how the GOP will find new ways to screw the poors today. I’m new here, and have only been guestblogging for about a week. But I want to submit an entry for Legislative Shitmuffin of the Year (Federal Level Edition). He is my old pal, Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Black [...]

Liz Warren came to Washington to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and she is ALL OUT OF BUBBLEGUM. Would you like to watch her tear into regulators about wrongful foreclosures? Specifically: why no one knows exactly how many people were wrongfully foreclosed on, and also, why wrongfully foreclosed upon people may have gotten as little [...]

We’ve decided that there’s only one thing more difficult than coming up with a funny joke about assassinating the president, and that is coming up with a creative lede for a story about the latest small-time GOP bigot to make a stupid joke about assassinating the president. It’s all been done, even the meta stuff, [...]

It’s a simple fact – one out of every three kids in America is overweight or obese. OBESE. Children. This is a very real problem! So of course, a couple of Massachusetts legislators want to shut down the program that allows schools to measure the kids’ body mass index and send a very respectful letter [...]

See that man? Of course you see that man, every night in your nightmares, where he lives. WELL THAT MAN IS NOT TAGG ROMNEY. It is his brother, Snurr. But since it was our runner-up Gif Of The Year (That We Stole From Buzzfeed), it will illustrate all Tagg Romney posts, because fuck it. So [...]

Yes, Please

Look outside. A moment ago, was it bright, and warm, and sunny? Did a cloud just move across the sky and block out the sun completely? Did a monstrous shiver just rack your body, as though somewhere a Great Evil had been loosed upon the world? That is because some idiot claims people want Ann [...]

Hey, Barney Frank! We know you rilly wanted to be appointed to the Senate seat being vacated by John Kerry’s being appointed Secretary of State, and you’re kind of bummed that you didn’t get it, so we have a joke to cheer you up! Knock-Knock! For Christ’s sake, what is this, are you enfeebled? Naw, [...]

What has old Scott Brown been doing, since he was booted from the Senate by Known Injun Elizabeth Warren? He has been tweeting, for one thing, and now that he does not have taxpayers footing the bill for someone to help him do it, it has gotten very interesting! He doesn’t have any pesky staffers [...]

It is sort of hard to hear what Barney Frank is saying here, when asked if he would take an appointment to John Kerry’s Senate seat from Massachusetts, because he lisps — YEAH, WE SAID IT — so we will just copy-paste this transcription from Politico, thank you Politico:

We’ll say this for Mitt Romney: He sure sets a low bar for the behavior of supposedly moderate Massachusetts Republicans! For instance, after Mitt spent a conference call with his big donors whining about how Barack Obama won the election by championing policies that will benefit Americans, Scott Brown’s post-loss press conference, where he (no [...]

It seems like just two months ago that we were in Tampa, Florida, hanging out with a bunch of Boston journos who explained, totally matter-of-factly, that it was a foregone conclusion that Senator Scott Brown (R-Playgirl) would handily beat sexy schoolmarm Elizabeth Warren in their #war for the senate. Why did they think that? “Because [...]

Today is the day with the best likelihood of us posting your nonsense. Like this ad full of total actors claiming they are Democrats who drive trucks! As if! That black lady does not drive a truck! That old biddy does not drive a truck! BUT.

As Click & Clack will tell you, it’s the stingy man who ends up paying most, and apparently it’s as true of governing as car repairs! And apparently also, Mitt Romney, as governor of Massachusetts, was quite the Scrooge when it came to building levees and other flood control for his state! Here is a [...]

Mitt Romney is a very busy man, you guys. He is busy now that he’s running for president, and he was busy back when he was a governor. So if your son dies and he gives you a call the day of his funeral, you should probably call him back RIGHT AWAY because he is [...]

So yesterday Scott Brown was all “I shit on those people supporting Elizabeth Warren, who’d lost loved ones to mesothelioma, who are totally paid actors, fuck them” and “in my ads we have real actual Scott Brown supporters or something, we don’t know we don’t want to have to look up the original story but [...]
