Them there wide angle lenses are housed in a series of awfully wide tubes.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has billed taxpayers for 312 nights spent in her own home during her first 19 months in office, charging a “per diem” allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business.
Hell, if I had to live with the Palin family I’d charge for it too.
Wright has been married to his second wife, Ramah, for more than 20 years.
The preacher reportedly wooed Ramah away from her first husband in the 1980s, when the couple came to marriage counseling at Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Am I a bad man because this guy just became my hero?
“God Damn America!” is just orgasm-speak. People will say anything at “go time”.
Ted “Wide Angle” Stevens and Larry “Wide Stance” Craig ought to get together some time and go over their escapades. My suggestion would be a porta-potty at an abandoned oil well deep in the Alaskan tundra.
Serolf Divad: BwahahAhahahAaaargh. So moral and high-minded!
“People wouldn’t be happy to know that my wife was sleeping with a black man.”
That quote makes me smile.
<—very very bored
Why are you going to tell people your wife is sleeping with a black man?
In all fairness… How many musicians would allow the McCain campaign to use their material? If the GOP went around asking permission they’d be left with Ted Nugent or some shitty Christian-metal.
I simply cannot take this election any more. I’m deathly afraid of November fourth and the accompanying hangover on the fifth. I’ll need at least a fifth (whiskey) to undo the fourth (election) and then maybe a half-gallon to undo the fifth (hangover election anger). In any case I can see my fists going through sheetrock at the end of the night. Fuck I’m glad I’m off probation next month.
Do the lyrics to “Barracuda” mean something? Is it good to be a barracuda? What’s with the porpoise? Is the singer still really fat?
KevoTron:
Don’t forget Barry Sadler.
Since when can the FBI afford cameras with interchangable lenses?
Rachel Maddow looks fine without her eyelashes.
Serolf Divad:
That the man was trolling for a mistress at the marriage counseling service he was running? LOL Admire his nerve if not his actions.
more Rev Wright from Murdoch’s toilet paper
gee, shocking
KevoTron: Save some for the Wonkette Ark to Cuba-on November Sixth, we might as well go to GITMO on our own terms!
This movie about water is making me very nervous.
(see ad on the sidebar thing with the leaky faucet)
RuperttheBear: “Barracuda” was a vicious rant against the Music Biz, the Replitards are using it as a viscious rant against the good, thinking people of the former U.S of A.
NotLaughing: seriously, what was that about. also, her set was giving me the bends. please revise.
Obama needs to get Koch a temporary residence in Florida and just have him working the old NY’ers down there every day for the next two months.
Serolf Divad: Oh dear God. Thanks for that.freakishlystrong: Fuckin A right. I’ve already reserved my GITMO bungalow. I recommend making reservations now so you can get one with an ocean view.
magic titty:
Can’t believe she vetted the set.
Rev. Wright had blissful, torrid churchsex
This will no doubt reflect badly on Obama, who is presumably being held responsible for everything Wright has ever said or done.
Repubs - Please keep playing AC/DC, please please please! I thought all you were against devil music?
If McCain’s that flat-out determined to play a Heart song, why not “Heartless?”
At least it’s appropriate to the intended purpose.
Like Reagan, Juan doesn’t listen to lyrics. Otherwise he’d know that “Barracuda” is NOT intended as a compliment.
Like many places, I suspect, this town has what you might call a White Power Rock FM station. It features white guitar groups from the 70s and 80s: Van Halen, ACDC, KISS, Queen, Boston, Lenard Skynard, you get the idea. No Luther Vandross, Temps, rap or jazz. The central promise seems to be of 10 songs in a row without a Negro interruption.
Canuckledragger: Yeah, who needs lyrics just play the video backwards and you’ll see Thunderstruck is really about Katrina

WadISay: Hey–Freddie Mercury (originally Farrokh Bulsara) was born on the island of Zanzibar to Iranian parents. A gay, African Persian? He was token enough to be the patron saint for every group underrepresented on Amerikkkan Buttrock radio.
Yeah, and I look like a pasty white fatass because of those goddam wide angle lenses all the kids have these days. Except those lenses don’t change the essential fact that I am a pasty white fatass.
That is all.
Serolf Divad: Gee, I thought those army-types hated those sissy, panti-waisted navy types.
FreshCliches: Ted should stress at trial that the camera always adds ten pounds.
