Is THIS snarky?

Redstone

and Dems are like.

And given that I don't like Tom Tomorrow anyway, had you not posted it, I would not have read it.

Of course you realize they forgot to mention Michael Moore too

'criticizing someone in an annoyed way and trying to hurt their feelings:
There was some idiot at the back of the hall making snarky comments.'

So it would depend on if the two elitist, crypto-liberals are purposefully trying to annoy Mr. Bow-tie or if they are being sardonic out loud (to much chardonnay).

of the reich wing, however.

states, not just a minority of the states.

Wyoming with less than 500 thousand people has the same number of senators as California with over 35 million. In fact the smallest 25 states have about 16% of the population but their senators could control the senate if they agreed to work together. That's state's rights at its purest.

do you have the SLIGHTEST idea WHY each state has two senators? if not, then perhaps you ought to acquaint yourself with the founders.

and once again, you sound like you are parrotting reich wing BS.

made that is "reich wing BS" in opposition to the Democratic Party Platform at http://www.democrats.org/pdfs/2004platform.pdf ?

it suggested that you are simply repeating reich wing talking points, or that it might behoove you to understand WHY each state has two senators.

actually, this has become boring. go play with your rw buddies.

:hi:

Does that make me a reich wing idiot too.

Does reich mean you were calling another DUer a nazi as well as conservative?

Three insults in five sentences?

Maybe you need to get out more.

said that what the person was saying sounded like the usual reichwing talking points. take it as you will.

if you and the other person cannot handle the observations, perhaps it is YOU who needs to get out more.

However, Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, WSJ Opinion page, etc are lying.

n/t

...you're going to have to educate me on who exactly is Bill Smith?

Does he hate America? Does he want Barbra Streisand to be President? Is he wishing for the day the terrorists win? Or is he some snotty guy who happens to look down on popular activities like NASCAR?

hit and run bs of the rw's, and you get furious when you are called on it. that's okay, we all understand quite well.

of humor. Mostly it is a parody of RW propaganda and talking points.

Thats just where my head was at

snarkiness = sarcasm with a tinge of irony

I see this strip in a lot of the weekly alternative newpapers in Jacksonville (Folio Weekly).

Modern World is one of my all time favorites.

And yes, that is snarky.

:thumbsup: Don't you just love Tom Tomorrow?

the one you've posted is a snark on chicken-flavored Dems.

The cartoon is so true.

It's not "snarky". Snarky is like making funny, snide comments about someone's dress at the grammys.

This is a tongue in cheek illustration of how absurd the claim by some supposed "former liberals" that the democratic party has left them - supposedly because it has slid so far to the extreme left (?!?!?!).

realize that it's a Colbertesque parody of the way neofascistos like to portray most dems, as lily livered, quiche eating elitists?

it works both ways for me, cause I happen to fall into a couple of those stereotypes....doesn't make it wrong to feel that way, does it?

of the US uses it? I've only heard it used on the internet, but perhaps I'm exposed to other dialectal usages more on the internet.

Dictionary.com has it as "irritable or short-tempered; irascible", but that's not how it's widely used these days.

It's mostly British, or used to be. http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=20010206

It's quickly shifted from meaning 'critical and snappish' to 'bitingly sarcastic' in the US. Both involve criticism. I'm not sure that the British word's shifted meaning in the same way.

"Curmudgeon" has done the same kind of thing. A person who snarled was a curmudgeon, but frequently it's not a good-natured sarcastic or sardonic quality, but a mean or caustic one.

Great toon. :D

It might be snarking at a few different groups, though.

It might be snarky towards repubs; or to left dems.

Oddly, however, I know the guy in the bowtie. (Or at least somebody like him.)

He worked on the Clinton/Gore campaign when he was in high school; at 17 was walking precincts before election day to register dems, and on election day to get out the dem vote. I knew him when he was a sophomore in college, and he was dem, in the college democrats; he was increasingly unhappy and fighting with them as he became more self-assured in his role as a collegian. His junior year he was repub, and his senior year he was president of the college repubs. He supported Clinton/Gore, but not the Democratic Party.

He didn't change what he believed one bit. But the college dems were so much farther left than he was in high school that he just got tired of it; the college dems insisted on ideological purity, the college republicans didn't.

It's a take on the bullshit theory that Dems leave the party because of the picture right-Wing propagandists PAINT of the party.

Has anyone ever heard a caller on C-Span say "I used to be a Dem, and left because, blah blah, right wing talking point, blah, blah."?

Well, that's the guy in the bow-tie.

And no, I don't have a link, fer cry-eye.
