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 [...]

But Hey! Somewhere, Some DFH Blogger Used a Naughty Word

Via an emailer I learned of this story [Warning: really upsetting pet picture at the link. Here’s the unillustrated Politico (sic!) piece on the same subject.] Here’s what happened:  Jake Burris, campaign manager for Ken Aden, who is a Democrat running for Congress from Arkansas 3rd district, came home last night with his four kids. [...]

Touching the Elephant known as Newt

Remember that old story of blind men touching and describing an elephant? Well, that is the phase of the Republican primary we are in when it comes to Newt Gingrich. Folks are touching this or that aspect of his record and statements and using the narrowness of the exploration to describe Newt. Each of these [...]

In The Wake Of Change

I talked about Raleigh NC and Wake County back in January after the school board there introduced a plan to end busing and desegregation. Wake County, home of the capital of the state I grew up in (a Southern state no less) is telling children and parents that diversity is no longer a proper or [...]

God, guns, and Galt

I’ve been watching Rick Perry on YouTube this afternoon, and I’m getting a real Dead Zone vibe, like he could be the guy who finally puts an end to everything once and for all. On a more rational level, he indeed seems like a bad caricature of George W. Bush (as others have suggested), and [...]

Et tu, Grover?

Even the architect of the GOP’s absolute no-tax-revenues-ever, drown-the-government-in-a-bathtub cultist doctrine has started to sweat. That makes me a little more nervous than I was an hour ago. ***Update*** Norquist denies it. That makes me feel a little better. Or worse.

Shorter Bachmann: “Sure slavery sucked, but at least black kids had two parents back then.”

Whtpplbtrppn Michele Bachmann signed a conservative pledge called “The Marriage Vow – A Declaration of Dependence upon Marriage and Family.” That pledge contained the following dumbass-edness: Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in [...]

Real Republicans don’t compromise

Nate Silver comes up with the mathematical explanation on why the GOP lost their collective minds. Here’s what the chart will show: The Republican Party is dependent, to an extent unprecedented in recent political history, on a single ideological group. That group, of course, is conservatives. It isn’t a bad thing to be in favor [...]

It appears that we are all hosed

Klein. The best advice I’ve gotten for assessing the debt-ceiling negotiations was to “watch for the day when the White House goes public.” As long as the Obama administration was refusing to attack Republicans publicly, my source said, they believed they could cut a deal. And that held true. They were quiet when the negotiations [...]

Pentagon wants to open a Stupidity Division, they know who they can get to lead it.

Life is so unfair. I write a compelling first-person report about my experience with Barack Obama and his lizardly plans to take over the world, and people think I’m joking. Janet Porter gets huffed up on spray paint one weekend back in early 2009 and claims that Obama is a communist plant plucked directly from [...]

Erickson & Trump. One on One. By RedState on May 11, 2011 Yes, it is true. On Tuesday, I will be going one on one with Donald Trump in his office in New York. He has agreed to sit down and have an unfiltered conversation with no topic off limits. Thus I will ask him [...]

Why Obama Waited

The answer to the many questions surrounding why Obama waited so long to release his birth certificate is simple. In 2008, Obama met with Donald Trump in a secret closed-doors beer summit. There, they hatched a scheme. Knowing that there is a large segment of the American people that is still deeply racist, and that [...]

They’re Not Even That Consistent

I like the general theme of Sullivan’s bit about the meaninglessness of labels with respect to modern Republicans. However, this is simply wrong. Income tax rates are now lower than they were under Ronald Reagan and far lower than they were under Eisenhower. And yet it has become a Norquistian non-negotiable that no taxes can [...]

The Murder of Brisenia Flores

Will Bunch has a truly heartbreaking, infuriating post up on the murder of nine-year-old Brisenia Flores and her father in Arizona in 2009. Brisenia’s mother survived by playing dead. The killers were newly minted Tea Partiers and fledgling Minutemen, and I think it’s safe to say they were influenced by at least one Tea Party [...]

Tyrone Shoelaces v. the Baby Jeebus

Clowns: You would think that by now, what with the “Happy Holidays” promos and its own “Holiday Party,” Fox would just forget the whole “War on Christmas” war. For years now, Fox has heavily promoted this idea that “secular progressives” are engaged in a so-called “war” on Christmas, declaring over and over that the holiday [...]
