It appears that Republicans have, lacking any less revolting choice, awakened with Santorum all over themselves. Rather than just stripping the bed and jumping in the shower, as any normal person would in this situation, they’re using this meaningless and drearily recurrent Clown Car discharge to crank up the Wurlitzer of persecution fantasies against God’s [...]
In about the least surprising development one could possibly imagine, cardboard cutout Mitt Romney “won” Florida, or more accurately, “bought” Florida. Turns out that fetid swampland is more expensive than you’d think; Romney’s completely unrelated and totally coincidental Super PAC ponied up the cash for 13,000 television ads to battle Newt’s, uh, 200. 96% percent [...]
Today Digby pointed to an article By Kurt Anderson in Vanity Fair that hit on something I’ve been wondering about myself: why does 2012, in terms of fashion, art, culture and such, look so similar to, say 1992? The clothes, the cars, the architecture, the hairstyles, even the music haven’t really changed at all. It’s [...]
Each day, I thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for the UK’s Guardian. Where else can an American go to find out what the rest of the world thinks of us? Certainly not Kaplan’s loss leader, the WaPoo, and undoubtedly not Judy Miller’s old place, the New York Times. That unusually worthwhile newspaper reported today that, [...]
Poor ol’ Willard can’t catch a break these days and, oddly enough for a guy who seems utterly convinced his shit doesn’t stink, poop always seems to be involved. For a long time, the NYT’s Gail Collins has obsessed about his dog squirting butt gravy off the roof of the car (she brought it up [...]
“On an occasion of this sort, it becomes more than a moral duty to speak one’s mind. It becomes a pleasure.” –Gwendolyn Fairfax in The Importance of Being Earnest “Ain’t it delicious, being so pernicious; fuck those Mormon sons of bishes.” –Ida Richilieu, in The Man Who Fell in Love With the Moon [...]
I don’t know what it is that makes Rick Santorum so uniquely repulsive, but the following quote from today’s Republican debate might be part of it: When asked what he would do if one of his sons revealed he were gay, Santorum replied, “I would love him as much as I did the second before [...]
As the Clown Car heads for South Carolina, let’s not forget what they’re getting into; for all the talk of “Family Values” certain to be polluting the airwaves, the fact is that the whole state is teeming with drunken, trailer park idiots like the genius above. Until, say, yesterday, Thad Viers was considered a [...]
Until today, I was pretty depressed about the political season; now my mood has perked up considerably. In the aftermath of Santorum being labeled, once again, “a solid #2,” and reading headlines like, “Mitt Romney, Ron Paul Face Awkward Moment After Emergence of Santorum,” heck, maybe this crummy election will be good for some laughs [...]
America’s Dumbest State, Alabama, continues to be unfairly pilloried by the liberal media for its demented and draconian immigration laws. Last month, Alabama police arrested a Mercedes Benz executive for the newly-minted crime of driving without his papers; later, an Honda execuive was similarly jailed. Of course, to find any such liberal media, you do [...]
