Snake World
This is Daisy, who is, as you can see, blessed with great physical beauty. She’s even got matching beauty moles. She is somewhat vain in consequence. I tell both my dogs that they’re smart girls, good girls, beautiful girls. But with Daisy, it is definitely the latter that resonates. She takes in the sun like [...]

(*&(*#^@ Smiler
I always thought it was because of his incipient senility, or the fact that his prunes and Metamucil worked that morning, but it turns out that Ron Paul has another reason to be smiling ever time he announces that he “lost” a straw poll. His supporters are being elected as delegates in bigger numbers than [...]

Open Thread: The Punkers Punk’d
(Drew Sheneman via GoComics.com) Dave Weigel at Slate reports on this year’s very serious most important CPAC straw poll: We are nearly through the Alternate Reality Week of the 2012 primary. Rick Santorum won two caucuses and one ballot test which assigned no delegates. This gave him “momentum.” He joined two other candidates (not Ron [...]

Breitbartocalypse Is Nigh!
Here’s Breitbart bellowing like a ruptured cow at the OWS protesters at CPAC: Jesus God, what a braying ninny. Does he think screeching inanities until his neck veins pulse alarmingly and being led away by security personnel is some sort of rhetorical triumph? What an asshole. [H/T: YAFB at Rumproast]

Stir Crazy
You might not know it from the lack of news coverage, but this week is the annual CPAC freak show. What I find amusing about it is that in the past, CPAC was really a spectacle. It was the political equivalent of watching circus geeks bite the heads off chickens while the bearded lady swallowed [...]

C-PAC. C-PAC Run. Run, C-PAC, Run!
Dave Weigel, at Slate, explains: The humor comes out of the fact that the sticker’s on a WorldNetDaily jersey. WorldNetDaily: The world’s #1 source for survival seed schemes and for rumors about Barack Obama’s birthplace. Tim Tebow was born to missionaries in the Phillippines. The Washington Post, in its capacity as the company paper for [...]

I Just Can’t Believe It
Others here have talked about the issue in more detail, but I really just can’t believe that in the year 2012, with everything that is going on, Republicans want to pick a losing fight over condoms and the pill. I thought they were stupid, but I didn’t think they were that stupid. It’s like they’ve [...]

Up Close and Personal
Over at Salon, Mark Oppenheimer has a longish, interesting piece on Maggie Gallagher, NRO hack, NOM founder and arguably the most prominent opponent of marriage equality in the US. I read it because the thing that has always puzzled me most about the gay marriage controversy is why those who oppose it are so convinced [...]

Throw Us Into the Briar Patch
This graph (click to embiggen) shows the teenage pregnancy and abortion rate for the last 20 years. Guess what? When teens get pregnant less often, they abort less often. Add this in with the fact that effective birth control (like IUDs and some of the new Pill formulations) can be a serious expense for middle-class [...]

Ryan Plan Redux
Brian Beutler at TPM wonders if the GOP plans to follow Paul Ryan down the kill-Medicare rabbit hole again in an election year and concludes that yes, they do: Why on earth would Republicans put the whole party back on the line? Particularly after a year of serial brinkmanship and overreach that has dragged their [...]

Another Republican Bottom-Feeder Speaks Up
Via Dave Weigel at Slate, news that the man responsible for the ‘Hoekstrokia’ is trying for a new personal depth record: Reactions are just exactly what you’d expect, per the Washington Post: ... “Really, really dumb,” Republican strategist Mike Murphy said over Twitter. “I mean really.” The Michigan chapter of Asian & Pacific Islander American [...]

Louisiana Congressman Duped by The Onion ‘Abortionplex’ Satire
John Fleming (R-Idiot) fell for a nine-month-old hilarious article in The Onion which touted the grand-opening of an Abortionplex: TOPEKA, KS—Planned Parenthood announced Tuesday the grand opening of its long-planned $8 billion Abortionplex, a sprawling abortion facility that will allow the organization to terminate unborn lives with an efficiency never before thought possible.

By Their Works Ye Shall Know Them
The occupant of today’s ducking stool is a post by Erick Erickson that is entitled—I shit you not—“The Perversion of the Words of Our Lord Jesus Christ by the Sinner Barack H. Obama.” CottonMather CottonMatherson waxes theological for 1,500 words or so, returning to variations on the word “pervert” with such alarming frequency as to [...]

K-Thug the Lesser
Wingnuts quickly settled on a meme in the wake of the Komen Kinda Kave: The Pink Peeps fell prey to leftist gangsterism! According to the squealing pusscakes on the right, an innocent, nonpartisan charity was mau-maued by hairy-legged, Birkenstock-shod lesbian bullies who demand government funds to forcibly dismember precious snowflake babies, probably for some satanic [...]
