Conflicting Loyalties

    Oh good, now that the UN is on the case, everything’s going to get solved.

    McCain is pissing into his own Wheaties again. He thinks by fucking up the California coastline, the Marines won’t be jogging shirtless on the beach for Cindy’s viewing pleasure. Little does he know that without the stimulation, the trollop will completely lose the desire to make Mr. Happy happy, and Walnuts will have to go trolling for lobbyists again. Not a good situation to be in during election season.

  3. 4tehlulz says at 9:28 am, June 24th, 2008

    With his newfound eagerness for drilling, I predict that Pres. McCain will name Larry Craig as Secretary of the Interior.

    The Muslims are messing up just like Jeremiah Wright did. They’re supposed to keep it hush hush until Obama gets in the bla.. I mean White House, then he can don his Muslim/Christian turban dashiki ensamble and scream “Death to Amerikkka and whitey!”

    Didn’t they ever see “The Spook Who Sat By The Door?”

  5. ThreeFingersNeat says at 9:29 am, June 24th, 2008

    Barry already has all the hot ladies in his pocket. But I guess we’re going to need the bitters to win in November, so we’ll have to grit our teeth and take the “no fat chicks” bumper sticker off the van.

    But we’re leaving the “gas, grass, or ass: nobody rides free” sticker. I’m firm on that one.

    ThreeFingersNeat: or, …if you can read this, then that bitch Hillz fell off.”

    Finance and Oil,
    the Republican Foil
    Flippety-Floppety Fool
    He’ll change his mind as the issues unwind!
    Flippety-Floppety Fool

    Wally’s all horney
    to drill Californey
    Flippety-Floppety Fool
    “I may be a whore,
    but the drillings offshore.”
    Flippety-Floppety Fool.

    Four Americans killed in Baghdad today is four goddamn too many, godammit…

  9. ThreeFingersNeat says at 9:34 am, June 24th, 2008

    I’m sure glad the surge is working. I’d hate to see how many Americans would have been killed in Iraq today otherwise.

  10. ManchuCandidate says at 9:36 am, June 24th, 2008

    Godless Liberal *:
    It’s not like the UN is spineless. Look at their stunning successes in Somalia, the former Jugoslavia and Rwanda…

  11. Doglessliberal says at 9:38 am, June 24th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: it’s those robin’s egg blue helmets–they are incredibly intimidating. People see them coming and throw down their arms immediately.

  12. ThreeFingersNeat says at 9:39 am, June 24th, 2008

    Shame on B’Iraq HUSSEIN Osama for shunning his religion like that. They should excommunicate him!

  13. Subscribing to my knowledge of geology, I can’t imagine any substantial oil fields off the coast of California, except possibly off San Diego or in Mexican waters. In any case, parking offshore rigs next door to a fault line isn’t a bright idea.

  14. Godless Liberal * says at 9:41 am, June 24th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: It’s not their being spineless that makes the whole organization utterly ineffective, it’s that they insist upon saying “pretty please” but not including the cherry on top.

  15. Doglessliberal says at 9:43 am, June 24th, 2008

    Servo: I was just going to note that. Maybe they can drill off SF, where you have three faults meeting, for extra excitement. And then build pipelines across the land that is either undergoing fires, earthquakes, or massive mudslides. Yay!

  16. XOMuffintop says at 9:44 am, June 24th, 2008

    ForeignSickSpecialist: The Spook Who Sat by The Door was the highlight of my African American Film class in college (yes, I got a cinema studies degree, don’t judge me). It is the reference I always make when my wingnut family members talk about Barry being a secret Irianian agent or whatever.

  17. MaskedRiderV3 says at 9:59 am, June 24th, 2008

    Muslims are being snubbed by Obama? I hope they won’t transfer their votes to Nader, a man of Lebanese descent.

  18. Darehead says at 10:00 am, June 24th, 2008

    MoodProcessor: Poi-fect!

  19. PoliticalGraffiti says at 10:03 am, June 24th, 2008

    Servo: my terrorist plan was to bomb that fault line and have part of California drift away, but apparently, they won’t be missed

  20. PoliticalGraffiti: Super-Bama will stop your dastardly plan, Lex Luthor

  21. Brutus Harlot says at 10:15 am, June 24th, 2008

    MaskedRiderV3: My muslim taxi driver the other night is happily voting for Obama and is not a Nader fan. That’s a scientific enough poll for me.

  22. I demand Barry shun Christians also for equality’s sake.

  23. S.Luggo says at 11:42 am, June 24th, 2008

    McGodger is now proposing off-shore to look for, not only pertroleum, but possible reserves of Ethanol.

  24. Outstando says at 12:13 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Why does John McCain hate corn farmers?

  25. KTHXBAI says at 12:22 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Servo: San Diego’s Republican. Fuck em. I want to see Duncan Hunter’s district covered by an oil spill. Just sayin
