Wonkette
- WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?: Your Wonkette will now link you to a Huffington Post page that excerpts a New York Times article about the Recession possibly celebrating its first birthday now, according to math and economists. Rather than link directly to the New York Times article, we wanted to ask you, the reader, to figure out why the Huffington Post illustrated this story with an AP picture of a polar bear in a zoo staring at an enormous wooden advent candle. Is it… “bear market?” Ben Bernanke is a bear? Oh, ha!…?? In any event, happy birthday, you brutal cycle of deleveraging, you. [HuffPo]
Polar bears are cute.
Um, that’s Knut the Polar Bear on his first birthday.
That is quite obviously Knut’s dildo. I would have thought Wonkette would respect a bear’s privacy.
tunamelt: Oh yeah, how cute would he look with half a baby seal! Palin knows they’re stone killers.
This is what happens when you google “bear” and “birthday”. Angelenos are a lazy, lazy people.
Sometimes a candle is just a candle.
HuffPo is racist toward the Jewish polar bears who run the New York Times.
Clearly, Jim, it is all the Jews’ (the Menorah Candle) fault, who are using their control over the Russian Bear to control the world.
Haven’t you read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion?
NewSpence: Should have went with this picture, instead, then.
I do believe that’s Bernanke with his shirt off. Or maybe getting ready for a little cosplay. Whichever. And that isn’t a candle, it’s a plug–solid platinum, at that. Fun times.
Bullshit. We won’t be in a recession until we’re in a “Little Otter market.”
Silly, Jim. Whenever you don’t know the answer to a question, the answer is automatically, “Because Barack Obama hates America.” Get it right, morans.
Collapsing economy symbols are so adorable! I wanna collapsed economy too.
No doubt it’s a bear bones assessment.
Hey, if Jesus was 33 when he died, how come there’s only a fortnight between Christmas and Pentecost? Huh? Frauds. Wait — what was the question?
wheelie: If it gets much more collapsed, it’s going to be prolapsed. Ewwww.
SayItWithWookies: He lived fast and died high.
edgydrifter: I hope not. Who wants a tired economy? I know I don’t want one that’s all pooped out.
Polar bears are in the tank for Obama. Mostly because the ice caps have melted.
NoWireHangers: Muslins is the new morans.
The Huffington Post works in mysterious ways, its ponderous deeds to perform.
…Later, the polar bear was shot from an airplane.
TGY: What a loser. Didn’t he know it’s better the other way around?
Bear’s birthday = B. Ayer’s birthday = December 26.
So Arianna is giving a coded signal to all the Obamatard terrorists to attack America the day after Christmas, when everyone is still drunk. It’s fiendish and it’s brilliant. Death to America! I’ll start making bombs now, because I want to avoid the run on fertilizer in December. Thanks for the head’s up, Mrs Huff!
I believe it’s a sexy bear sex toy, and the picture is code for “Our economy sucks so bad that the bear market has to screw itself.”
wheelie: Hey, if it’s good enough for George Washington it’s good enough for me.
(Disclaimer: That rather broad statement really only applies to the Battle of Trenton. Other things that were good enough for George don’t necessarily apply. Like owning slaves, having wooden teeth, screwing Martha Washington and riding around your plantation on a cold December day in the rain)
THAT’S an advent candle?
AnnieGetYourFun: I thought the bear was curious or something. You can’t tell if it’s a guy bear or a girl bear… why am I talking about this?
Bear sex toys.
That’s why Wonkette makes the big bucks.
I don’t care why it’s there. It’s the most sublime thing I’ve seen all day.
God, how I missed Knut.
Are we 100% sure that isn’t a picture of Arianna without make up? I can’t wait for her to switch back and become a wingnut again.
It’s a fence post on a bed of cauliflower–just what every bear wants for its birthday.
The bear is white. It has no time for brown bears or black bears.
It lives in a patriotic part of the U.S. but it doesn’t see its world shrinking.
Its candle is a-blowing in the wind of change.
Its time for change polar dude. Ok, I know you’re cute, damnit.
tunamelt: this picture is very disturbing to me. i know it’s an important part of our history but…HENNNNGH!
