Chart Of Darkness: Belaboring The Point
Following up on Saturday’s post on the latest wingnut meme that Kenyan Soshulist Maths are hiding the truth that the reeeeeeeal unemployment rate among scared, crazy self-piddling conservatives is 157 gazillion percent, we see FOX and Friends is happily joining in the silliness. “Are they playing around with the numbers?” fill-in host Eric Bolling asked. [...]

Chart Of Darkness
The problem with this Zero Hedge “implied unemployment rate” chart that the wingers are screaming about as proof of a massive “Democrat Party scam” is the fact that Tyler Durden ran the numbers back for 30 years and it exists all the way back to the Reagan era, and it shows that the “real” unemployment [...]

A Poll Arising Situation
The latest NBC/Marist poll in Florida this weekend finds Mitt Romney up big over Newt Gingrich now, 42%-27%. That’s not the big news. This is, buried at the ass end of the article: Romney and rest of the candidates, however, continue to trail President Obama in Florida among all voters. Romney does best, but loses [...]

They Grow Up So Fast
Stay classy, Arizona: A picture that shows several teens, a few of them carrying guns, displaying a bullet-riddled Obama T-shirt has led the U.S. Secret Service to investigate. The Peoria Police Department is also doing its own investigation since the person who took the photograph is a Sergeant for the department. There are just so [...]

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 [...]

Still More Nuked Gingrich
With just 5 days until the Iowa Caucuses, Team Newt is “managing expectations” for Gingrich’s crash and burn. On Wednesday evening around 6:30 ET, Newt Gingrich strategist Joe DeSantis declared the Gingrich surge in Iowa officially over. “Oh I think anywhere in the top five would be surviving Iowa,” DiSantis told CNN. Just a couple [...]

WTF, Glenn Beck?
I know—we shouldn’t even bother with Glenn Beck because everything he says and does is a WTF moment. Well, here’s one you didn’t see coming: Glenn Beck Suggests Tea Party is Racist Yeah. I’ll let that sink in a bit. From the article: In a startling admission from a major Tea Party champion, former Fox [...]

37 Trees
I see that another wingnut voltron has formed over the fact that there are 37 trees in the White House, started by the loathesome former secretary for Barbara Bush, Andrew Malcolm. James Joyner handles this rather nicely: For one thing, these Christmas trees aren’t for the Obamas. Rather, they’re for the tens of thousands of [...]

Things That Upset Wingnuts, Pearl Harbor Edition
You can’t make this shit up: Apparently Asia = Japan. There are so many things to love about this, starting with the fact that someone is actually spending their time rummaging through school website to find out what Obama’s kids are having for lunch, the conflation of Asia with Japan, the notion that what a [...]

Auto-Neurotic In Alabama
One has to wonder what Alabama cops have against foreign car executives anyway. Oh wait: they have no choice but to ask for papers, please. The Guardian reports that Honda manager Ichiro Yada was arrested earlier this week at a checkpoint in Leeds, Alabama, despite being able to show police his passport, US work permit, [...]

‘Don’t Shoot Obama’ even if ‘Tempting’ says UT College Republicans President
These clowns are out of their minds. Remember last Friday’s White House shooting incident? At the time, it was reported that the shooting had nothing to do with the White House. Well, apparently, it did—Pennsylvania State Police arrested the shooter, 21 year-old Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez. Upon hearing the news, Laurene Pierce (President of the College [...]

The Katie Couric “Grilling”
Wingnuts are all upset about the CBS debate last night, and my initial reaction was “Why’d you schedule a Saturday night debate during football season?” But then I read the Politio write-up: But CBS already navigates conservative distrust over Dan Rather’s botched report raising questions about George W. Bush’s National Guard service in 2004 and [...]

Argles Are Meant To Be Blargled, They Just Are
Even if every Republican in Washington was thrown out of office, we’d still have FOX News to contend with and their protomorphic reality-affecting powers. Republicans are in an Internet uproar over an erroneous media report quoting EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson as calling them “jack-booted thugs” during a speech at the University of California at Berkeley.

A Real Impeachable Character
Here’s the thing, folks. If you give fanatical Republicans too much power, they do completely crazy things with it because they are basically insane. Case in point: one Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona. Gov. Jan Brewer and the GOP-controlled state Senate on Tuesday touched off legal and political battles as they took the unprecedented step [...]

Cain Still Unable: Zeroed Out
It’s like Herman Cain is the only person who can’t hear “The Merry Go Round Broke Down” playing at volume factor 11 whenever he speaks. Talking with Neal Boortz today, Cain admitted his new target is Mitt Romney, but then he said this about President Obama: Boortz, at the tail end of the interview, asks [...]
