Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shocking, but not surprising

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Tick tock motherfuckers! Tick fucking tock!

I really should read my own blog.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Verified, but limited!

I did not have this on my fuck 2020 bingo card.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Wetsuit optional.

It was down to kool-aid drinkers and next of kin at the trump White House

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

This is how realignments happen…

Good luck with your asparagus.

Call the National Guard if your insurrection lasts more than four hours.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

I don’t care how fun he is after a few whiskies. fuck that guy.

This blog will pay for itself.

It’s been a really long fucking year.

Saul Alinsky is my co-pilot.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

    That was awesome, although you could pretty much substitute any Republican candidate right now. Their message is basically, “Please ignore what I’ve said and done in the past, the other guys are whackos!”

    He considers the ‘‘Left Behind’’ books, in which the world comes to a violent end as Jesus triumphs over Satan, a ‘‘compelling story written for nontheologians.’’

    Provided the non-theologian is not Jewish and really into Dungeon Master Jesus Torture Porn. But who cares? That fat check from LaHaye and Jenkins is as good as in the bank.

    That is truly a thing of beauty. (That said, the music in the background is only my third- or fourth-favorite surf-instrumental version of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”.)

    Terry Pratchett has announced that he has early-onset Alzheimers.

    Yet NPod will probably be blabbering in print until the sun goes nova.

    It ain’t fair.

    It’s really funny with the sound turned off. It makes me more aware of what the camera is doing — the zoom-ins are hilarious. If you’ve ever wondered how a fundie goper sees the world, nothing tops those zoom-ins for seeing what they fixate on — Rudy in drag, for example. A crowd of brown people? Looks like they’re being uppity ’bout something (scary) then ZOOOOM right to that mexican flag off to one side, that is maybe 2% of the whole picture area. What’s this? A hottie dancing with some guy? (another mexican? they both mexicans? they’re taking over!) then ZOOOOM to try to zero in on her crotch — her pussy’s under that fringe skirt somewhere, dammit! People in funny underwear? Go macro on the guy’s undie-clad johnson, then ZOOOOM out so we can peek at the woman wearing her funny undies too! No zoom on her pelvis, but at least she’s definitely white, that’s a consolation.

    I still haven’t watched it with the sound. But the intent of it comes across pretty clearly without it.

    Say, ya think these huckabee people might have some kind of hang-up with sexuality and brown people?

    With out the sound it looks like the message at the very end — Don’t look all that closely — was supposed to be a warning about Huckabee. At least they’re warning us….

    A follow up to the noxious post of a few days ago about a congressional resolution on Christmas, a post that brought out all the bigots and athiests….the resolution passed the House with a vote of 372 to 9. Only nine Democrats went on record opposing the measure, including the usual asshats and moonbats: Reps. Gary Ackerman and Yvette Clarke of New York; Diana DeGette of Colorado; Alcee Hastings of Florida; Jim McDermott of Washington; Bobby Scott of Virginia; and Barbara Lee, Pete Stark, and Lynn Woolsey of California. Interestingly, several of these voted in favor of a somewhat similar resolution a few weeks earlier related to Ramadan, a resolution that also passed easily.

    It’s getting harder and harder to tell the real ads from the spoofs.

    I remember when a friend of mine who didn’t have cable saw the Colbert Report for the first time. About haveway thru the show he was staring at the TV with a puzzled look on his face when I realized he thought it was real!

    When I explained to him (after laughing my ass off) that it was a comedy show, he was relieved and said he couldn’t figure out why people were laughing at the news.

    Open Thread,

    Well history for a city began today. Since Dreggas says he likes to refer to it. What might today be remebered for?

    Don’t reply with some BS web search, and no it wasn’t the debate.

    It’s getting harder and harder to tell the real ads from the spoofs.

    Watching it with the sound off and just going on the visuals, it was a real ad — the only visual tip-off that it wasn’t was the slogan under Huckabee’s name at the close (“Don’t look all that closely”). It took me a bit before the realization hit. Without this hint, it would have been indistinguishable from the real product.

    That’s how fuckedup the republicans have become — they’ve passed the point of crazy where it’s now tough to out-crazy them enough so a viewer gets it as spoof without having to add a ‘just kidding folks!’ tag at the end to make sure.

    Dreggas,

    I see you have no reply, well maybe it was an obscure question. Though I thought you were into history. My fault, I shouldn’t challenge your knowledge. Wikipedia will suffice, it will allow you to answer a couple of questions.
