ALL AMERICANS MUST ATTEND INAUGURATION! “Don’t have money? Don’t worry, God will provide money! Don’t have a place to stay? God will provide that, too. If God didn’t want you to come to Washington D.C. and party on January 20, would God have made Barack Obama your president?” [AOL Political Machine]

    No, our National Mall is just some freezing dead grass, outside, next to a very cold river often filled with icebergs and corpses.

    To be fair, the Potomac has the icebergs and the Anacostia has the corpses.

    Whoa, must be a full moon. All kinds of crazee over there!

  3. wharmahmilk says at 3:19 am, January 12th, 2009

    wonkette is “a think tank journal”? really?

  4. saggyboobedhag says at 3:22 am, January 12th, 2009

    They can sleep in the subway stations and drink free coffee from hotel lobbies and eat condiments from mickey d’s. I hear ketchup and hot water make a fine tomato soup.

  5. trondant says at 3:27 am, January 12th, 2009

    Yes. It is literally a tank, crushing PUMAS beneath its treads and crushing them into a fatty paste flecked with shreds of eating pants, chipped fragments of dentures and bits of those coupons you get in bags of cat food.

    One day, this war will be over. And on that day, someone will have to hose down those treads. I’m hoping I die on a nameless hill before that happens.

    What the rubbery fuck is happening in that picture?

  7. Serolf Divad says at 5:15 am, January 12th, 2009

    That picture is what Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman’s babies look like before they are placed into the beds of some unfortunate, unsupecting human child late, late at night. After crawling up the child’s nose and wrapping themselves around the cerebral cortex, they will inhabit the human child’s body until the full-scale invasion has begun.

  8. graceless says at 5:25 am, January 12th, 2009

    I still don’t like that picture…

  9. chascates says at 5:30 am, January 12th, 2009

    In a world without Liz Glover is it really worth it?
    You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

  10. Pop Socket says at 6:06 am, January 12th, 2009

    YOU AND I MUST HONOR THE MILLIONS WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES FOR THE CONSTITUTION. WE MUST REMEMBER WHAT THE SIGNERS OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENCE WERE WILLING TO DO.
    ARE YOU MILITARY LEADERS IN THE GREAT TRADITION OF GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON OR IN THE TRADITION OF GENERAL BENEDICT ARNOLD? YOUR ACTIONS IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL LET WE THE PEOPLE KNOW OF WHOM YOUR ROLE MODEL IS.

    For a Restored American Constitutional Republic,

    Dr. Douglas W. Schell
    Chairman, Restore the CONSTITUTIONAL Republic

    Not to mention protecting our precious bodily fluids, General Ripper.

  11. Numbat Dundee says at 6:26 am, January 12th, 2009

    Where did he get his Doctorship? Was it the university of Capslock? Was it the Twitching Fanatic’s Institute for Cornering Unsuspecting Bypassers and Regaling Them With a Mad Glint in One’s Eye With Various TRUTHS?
    Or did he just get it on Ebay?

  12. bob the hog says at 6:42 am, January 12th, 2009

    Also, there are five million diseased rats prowling the icy swamp, day and night

    It’s freaky. It’s like, somehow they know that as soon as Obama takes office there will be starvation and rioting and massive death. Good eatin!

  13. shanemacgowan says at 6:46 am, January 12th, 2009

    That ad for the “secret intervention to treat George W. Bush’s alcoholism” has to go. I think we all would have been better off this past eight years if Jr. had been allowed to indulge.

  14. wharmahmilk: Typo. They meant ‘drink tank’.

    shanemacgowan: Like Churchill, yes.

    Do they take inauguration admission payment in hobobeans?

  15. facehead says at 7:09 am, January 12th, 2009

    Strongy O: Idk, but it is definitely in the tank for shit I don’t want to know.

  16. facehead says at 7:10 am, January 12th, 2009

    HA! “… take a bath … ” Ken, you are SOOO nouveau riche.

  17. I understand Cheny/Bush has outfitted Marine One with a giant pair of Helicopternutz and plan to fly over the Inauguration crowd throwing small Iraqi children from their freshly blinged out ride. Harry Reid is scheduled to flutter about the shocked crowd expressing sympathy but political insiders realize that’s just a feint to cover the sound of Nancy Pelosi crushing the little skulls of all those unfortunate third world toddlers in her powerful canine jaws as she feeds on their succulent brains. What can you say, it was her turn.
    Thus ends the Bush era of Congressional bi-partisanship.

  18. ServiceJervixJuice says at 8:01 am, January 12th, 2009

    uhh Ken, the wife and I are a few miles from Boleskin House. Would you mind if we hung out for a few days? After reading the comments from your last “Outrage”, we concluded that we’d like to spend some time relaxing with Satanists. Is the key under the mat?

  19. finallyhappy says at 8:02 am, January 12th, 2009

    saggyboobedhag: Free coffee?? I did once pretend I was staying at a really nice hotel downtown so I could use the bathroom instead of at McDonald’s but free coffee, wow!

  21. chascates says at 8:16 am, January 12th, 2009

    On NPR: American’s Genius Cokie Roberts (born under the Capitol Dome) proclaims that incoming Prez Obama will share outgoing DipShit Bush’s thoughts on security matters because of ’security knowledge’ (secret–secret) so expect no change because the War on Terror is sacrosanct.

  22. Blue Jefferson Clinton the Cat says at 8:34 am, January 12th, 2009

    Wow the commenters on there are the perfect combination of bitter and delusional! Sadly my boss is one of those nuts that thinks Obama’s birth certificate is fake so I know that there is no reasoning with these folks.

  23. ifthethunderdontgetya" says at 8:39 am, January 12th, 2009

    chascates: Oh really?

    I just read on Ken’s AOL thread that the U.S. is about to be merged with Mexico and Canada, Halliburton is going to impose martial law, Obama will be the last president of the USA, and George HW Bush will be put in charge of the whole thing.

    This source is probably at least as reliable as Cokie:
    ======================================================
    america 6:58AM Jan 12th 2009

    WAKE UP EVERYONE

    This Illigal Africaner is the last President of America!!

    America will be merged with Mexice CanadA as the New America!! THE NWO !! and SR. George Bush will become the leader.

  24. freakishlystrong says at 8:48 am, January 12th, 2009

    All snark aside..these people are seriously unhinged…do we know really how many of them are out there?

  25. El Pinche says at 8:54 am, January 12th, 2009

    ifthethunderdontgetya: That’s gotta be fake. “america” is either operating on two neurons (one neuron is sputtering and ready to go napsy) or he’s a comical genius.

  26. Tommy Says Ira G is a Tool says at 8:55 am, January 12th, 2009

    Geez, people, all you have to do is tell them Prince Bandar ordered the Mossad to orchestrate that limey chick’s win in the Golden Globes to demonstrate the Trilateral Commission’s power….how else do you beat Emma Thompson, Streep, et al…

    Plus Salma still has the preggo tubes.

  27. “Ken Layne is a longtime resident of Washington and currently serves as the editor of Wonkette, a think tank journal published by the New American Century for American Progress.”

    Oh, can I put on my resume that I have adjunct status at the think tank? That would sound swanky.

  28. El Pinche says at 9:08 am, January 12th, 2009

    Tommy Says Ira G is a Tool:

    Salma Hayek maybe an illegal alien, but them tubes aint illegal.

  29. Cape Clod says at 9:10 am, January 12th, 2009

    Terry: I don’t believe Wonkette qualifies as a think tank. It’s more like an armored personnel carrier of snark.

  30. Monsieur Grumpe says at 9:11 am, January 12th, 2009

    freakishlystrong:
    Agreed. That was one scary bunch of loonies. They’re out there somewhere. Driving cars, raising kids (shudder), cutting and pasting the most ridiculous emailed conspiracy theories so that warm feeling of a newly wetted diaper comes over them as they keep hitting that send button. They’re thinking, “Yeah this will get to them this time. Oh yeah!”

  31. Cape Clod:

    Yeah, it’s the whole “think” thing that’s the issue, isn’t it?

  32. Doglessliberal says at 9:22 am, January 12th, 2009

    I am bummed. I saw the Restore CONSTITUTIONAL America commenter, and thought he was going to be encouraging people to take more refreshing daily walks. But no, he is just insane.

  33. Cape Clod says at 9:31 am, January 12th, 2009

    Doglessliberal: I wouldn’t say ‘just’ insane. I would say he’s about a five tin-foil hat loon.

  34. Doglessliberal says at 9:42 am, January 12th, 2009

    Cape Clod: You are right. He is approaching the Platonic Form of Nutjob.

  35. El Pinche says at 9:55 am, January 12th, 2009

    The dinner menu for for first rowers at the Inauguration includes a fine Kenyan white wine (aged 44 years) and a delightful bowl of aged montauk monster veal.

  36. PsycGirl says at 10:09 am, January 12th, 2009

    “IF YOU ARE A STRIGHT WHITE MALE, YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE ROYALLY SCREWED”

    That’s what every straight white male lives for, no? What is the royal aspect, though?

  37. Capitol Hillbilly says at 10:10 am, January 12th, 2009

    just seeing those rows of hundreds of port-o-lets is enough to put any american in the mood.

  38. finallyhappy says at 10:29 am, January 12th, 2009

    Capitol Hillbilly: 5000 at least. Bring your own TP and hand sanitizer.

  39. finallyhappy: Dude, but like, if you bring hand sanitizer or whatever, make sure it doesn’t have triclosan in its ingredients because then the germs will evolve into omega germs or whatever and then not even hospitals will be clean enough to defeat them and we’ll all die from infection which will probably affect me at some point.

  40. hobospacejungle says at 10:54 am, January 12th, 2009

    freakishlystrong: “do we know really how many of them are out there?”

    Yes. Check out their website restoretheconstitutionalrepublic.org — it’s pretty much one crazy posting “news” bulletins, petitions and prayer requests. If you turn the sound on your PC way up you can hear the crickets chirping.

  41. Davidwatts says at 11:00 am, January 12th, 2009

    Why do those nuts all comment on Ken’s column? Of all the telephone poles on the internet to staple your batshit manifesto to, Ken Layne’s AOL column is perhaps the oddest choice. I. . . just. . . wow.

  42. El Pinche says at 11:16 am, January 12th, 2009

    hobospacejungle: Do crickets laugh? I thought I heard a couple given this prayer:

    http://restoretheconstitutionalrepublic.org/index.php?topic=1995.msg7750#msg7750

    The biggest nutcase is named “Captain Moroni.” I’ve emphasized the keyword here.

  43. Sassette says at 12:03 pm, January 12th, 2009

    IF YOU ARE A STRIGHT WHITE MALE, YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE ROYALLY SCREWED !

    Wanting to “promote” one group of people means screwing another! THERE IS NO OTHER WAY! CAPS LOCK!

    Also, Barry Hussein Osama is not a real lawyer and he was born in Iraq. HE’S A FRAUD AND HIS WIFE HATES AMERICA! They’re obviously Al Qaeda plants sent to blow up the White House. We should rally behind a real American hero like Joe the Plumber! That poor, white, straight male can’t even buy a business he can’t afford and isn’t licensed to run because of these terrorists!

  44. Sassette says at 12:03 pm, January 12th, 2009

    (I gave myself a headache typing that.)

  45. I’ll go to the Inaugurathon, but:
    A. Not takin’ no friggin’ bath. It’s against the Hobo Code.
    B. The festivities must be followed by war trials, torture and public executions.
    C. There shall be free powdered donuts.

  46. hobospacejungle says at 1:52 pm, January 12th, 2009

    El Pinche: I think we’ve broken their server, overwhelmed by more than 3 hits per day. So I can’t connect & read Captain Moroni’s prayer. Until this situation is rectified the void in my spiritual center will continue to fester. Maybe Riverchucky can help me fill it with a reverse-engineered recipe for a dozen Butter McCheeses from McDonald’s.

  47. Neon Trotsky says at 2:43 pm, January 12th, 2009

    HUSSEIN OBAMA CANT BE PREZNIT CAUSE HE WAS BORN IN KENYA!1! NOT A U.S. CITIZEN! Oh, that’s not true; well, OBAMA KICKED OFF BAR BY LAWYERS–MICHELLE TOO!!1 Not true either? Ok, how about OBAMA WONT RELEASE HIS COLLEGE TERM PAPERS–ALL ANTI-AMURICAN–IMPEACH OBAMA FOR HIS COLLEGE ESSAYS THAT MIGHT BE MEAN TO AMURICA!!!!!!!11

  48. Neon Trotsky says at 2:45 pm, January 12th, 2009

    KEN LAYNE YOU DONT WORK FOR A THINK TANK–INSTEAD I THINK YOURE JUST IN THE TANK FOR OBAMA!

  49. Jukesgrrl says at 5:14 pm, January 12th, 2009

    Terry: My resume says I’m a “contributor to several internationally recognized Internet sites.” Who needs to know it’s in the Comments section? It also says I’ve been “published in the New York Times and the Washington Post, among other national publications” and it’s TRUE! Letters to the Editor!!

  50. Join the Activist Coalition of DC in McPherson Square for Inauguration fun and activism! Tell President Obama what you HOPE for and then find out how to make it happen!
