Snark: to annoy or irritate

"Snark" has been in English language dictionaries since at least 1906, and Lewis Carroll used the word to describe a mythological animal in his poem, The Hunting of the Snark (1874). Most recently, the word has come to characterize snappish, sarcastic, or mean-spirited comments or actions directed at those who annoy or irritate us.

At first, this blog was just going be a place to gripe, but because it's more satisfying to take action than it is to merely complain, now most of the posts/reposts suggest ways to get involved in solving problems.

The New Freshman Class of Extremists


A Message from People for the American Way:

Many pundits have said that the results of this past election feel like the GOP wave of 1994... but if this new crop of Republican senators and congressmen had their way, America would more resemble1954... or even 1894...

PFAW has released a video introducing America to the incoming freshmen members of Congress and exposing their truly extreme views. They want to undo decades of progress, and while news coverage of this election and the Tea Party has overlooked it, these new senators and representatives are taking aim at civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, environmental protections and much more.

Watch the video now:
Meet the Freshmen
Please take a moment to watch our new video, share it with others and then, check out our other products exposing the extremism of the new class of right-wing Senators and Representatives coming to Washington in January.

Brought to you by the Tea Party, the Religious Right and mountains of unregulated and undisclosed corporate cash, heeeeere's your new congressional freshman class...
