the Daily Stinger
now playing: nik everett, "excellent night"
welcome to a new feature here at the Mirror...the Daily Stinger.
i suppose i could call it the Daily Plagiarizer, save for the fact that links are supplied for the sources...but the plan is to compile all the little nuggets that i trip over on a somewhat regular basis into a "greatest hits" format.
why?
because, seriously...some of this shit is just too good to pass up.
a couple of prizewinners from kryptonite-bearing oliver willis:
"I would like to thank the media, who for four nights of the DNC convention, brought on Republicans to bash John Kerry. And now, during the RNC convention, bringing on Republicans to... bash John Kerry."
"Where's the "shut up & sing" crowd when Jason Sehorn, Angie Harmon, Bo Derek, Ron Silver, and Ahnuld are shooting their mouths off about how we should all be good little stepfords and vote Republican?
I'm just saying."
digby on the "swing" voters:
"They say they want specifics. They always say they want specifics, but they don't understand the specifics when they hear them so they just pretend that they didn't hear any and piss and moan again about the candidate not addressing 'the issues.'"
atrios at the fox news protest:
"Was sizeable and growing crowd. I enjoyed the much more effective "The More You Watch The Less You Know" chant rather than the "Shut Up!" one. The latter is funny, but only if you realize what the joke is, otherwise it's just those crazy liberals trying to stifle free speech."
from the daily show:
"Corddry: How does one report the facts in an unbiased way when the facts themselves are biased?
Stewart: I’m sorry, Rob, did you say the facts are biased?
Corddry: That’s right Jon. From the names of our fallen soldiers to the gradual withdrawal of our allies to the growing insurgency, it’s become all too clear that facts in Iraq have an anti-Bush agenda."
from a commenter over at matt yglesias' blog:
Democrat: Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?
Republican: No, but how can you be? We're at war, you traitor.
from paul waldman at the flytrap:
"One final note on the Republican 2008 sweepstakes: much as reporters like to talk about the idea, Rudy Giuliani has about as much chance of being nominated as RuPaul. Forget about Giuliani being an adulterer who's pro-gay rights - no pro-choice candidate is ever going to get the Republican nomination."
on the incarceration of a friend during the NYC protests:
"In among his group of detainees was a large contingent that had staged a same-sex makeout session to shock and awe GOP delegates exiting Broadway shows. While it is unclear whether any of the delegates had a change of heart on gay marriage, upon the protester's arrival at the warehouse serving as a holding area, the men were sent to one pen and the women to another. Reports of continued making out could not be confirmed."
in closing for the moment, how do we put a stop to this?
