  • Galileo proved ages ago that “crime increases proportionally with the height of housing project buildings,” and after a thorough review by the Pontifical Council for Culture, the Catholic Church even forgave him for it. But guess what? Sonia-Maria Sotomayor grew up in the grandest housing project on the Eastern Seaboard, and she doesn’t even sell dime bags! [John McWhorter]
  • Oh NO! The National Arbitration Forum ruled that Sneaky Joseph Culligan will be allowed to keep BillClintonsTentaclePornEmporium.net and a myriad of other domain names Bill Clinton desperately wanted for himself. [HuffPost]
  • There are unconfirmed Rumors on the Internets claiming Erick Erickson has reached his 34th year, which is pretty outrageous considering Jesus didn’t even live that long. Whatever: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERICK! [RedState]
  • Observe the many ways in which Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan are frighteningly similar: Reagan invented Reaganomics, Obama invented Socialism. Reagan bought guns and gave them to right-wing death squads in Central America, Obama bought toxic bank assets and gave them to the Sandinistas. Can you think of two more examples, for extra-credit? [Washington Whispers]

1: Both were associated with lower primates during their careers.
2: Nancy scared the shit out them.

Mustang June 4, 2009 at 2:02 pm

Reagan was an stupid man who served as a puppet for his corrupt party and the president who began the process of permanently screwing average citizens and in turn, America, while Obama is a smart leader with a vision of a great America. Other than that, I’d say they are exactly the same.

boatapple June 4, 2009 at 2:05 pm

If it’s his 34th birthday, that means he’s starting his 35th year. Think about it.

SayItWithWookies June 4, 2009 at 2:07 pm

They both lived the family values they professed? No, wait…

Lord Growing June 4, 2009 at 2:08 pm

Reagan pissed on poor schoolchildren while trying to classify ketchup as a vegetable.
Obama pissed on rich people while mainlining Dijon.
So, yeah, pissing and condiments.

The Unfairman June 4, 2009 at 2:09 pm

[re=332252]boatapple[/re]: My head just exploded.

1. Both lived in the White House.
2. Obama is black.

I suck at this.

DangerousLiberal June 4, 2009 at 2:14 pm

Riley, FTW. Physics, and Judge Maria. Double bonus score!

Mr Blifil June 4, 2009 at 2:18 pm

Umm…Reagan and Obama both avoided military service and they…both fucked Nancy?

AxmxZ June 4, 2009 at 2:19 pm

It is a little known fact that Obama is also a washed-up actor whose fans never got over seeing him in his on-screen get-up. Except for Reaganites it was cowboy-sheriff get-up, and for Obama, that little thing he wore on his thing in “Naughty Nairobi Nights Vol VIII.”

digibal235 June 4, 2009 at 2:24 pm

1. Both men had a landing strip pubic shaving.

2. Both wish Sean Hannity would just STFU about them.

Suds McKenzie June 4, 2009 at 2:25 pm

Galileo, Aristotle, this is all just a West Wing episode isn’t it?

Mad Farmer Manifest June 4, 2009 at 2:28 pm

So Erick Erickson and Poppy Bush are both Geminis? Shit, looks like Paul McCartney and I have a lot to make up for.

Come here a minute June 4, 2009 at 2:28 pm

Reagan had a secretary named Kennedy
Obama had a secretary named Lincoln

Guppy06 June 4, 2009 at 2:28 pm

They’re both clean and well-spoken.

engulfedinflames June 4, 2009 at 2:28 pm

1. both good at telling “jokes” 2. both love jellybeans (who doesn’t?)

drewonline June 4, 2009 at 2:29 pm

Angie Jolie turns 34 today – does that mean anything?

Mild Midwesterner June 4, 2009 at 2:29 pm

Reagan ended the Cold War, and Obama is a hot piece…

JMP June 4, 2009 at 2:30 pm

1. Both reached out to Iran; one with words, the other with big sales on bombs.

2. One created record deficits; the other was handed record deficits.

3. Both are imagined by wignuts as being far different from what they actually are/were.

dijetlo June 4, 2009 at 2:34 pm

Neither one invaded Iraq by accident.

DangerousLiberal June 4, 2009 at 2:35 pm

[re=332273]drewonline[/re]: It means that the world’s hawtest 33 y.o. is now the world’s hawtest 34 y.o. Isn’t she some sort of UN Ambassatrix of Hotness right now?

magic titty June 4, 2009 at 2:36 pm

Ronald Reagan helped funnel hard drugs into the inner cities, and Barack Obama smoked all of them?

queeraselvis v 2.0 June 4, 2009 at 2:36 pm

[re=332269]Mad Farmer Manifest[/re]: Since all Geminis are inherently gay, I’d say Erikson and Bush Sr. have some ‘splaining to do.

Min June 4, 2009 at 2:37 pm

1. Reagan is dead.
2. Obama is dead sexy.

Bill Clinton is just the kind of guy who would be into tentacle porn, isn’t he?

Cicada June 4, 2009 at 2:39 pm

1. Both have been given comical nicknames by the commenters on HuffPo (Raygun & Obushma)
2. Both harbor a secret lust for Zachary Quinto.

Okay, number two is really just me.

problemwithcaring June 4, 2009 at 2:40 pm

I am sorry – could some please give me a shorter version of the McHo’er nonsense? I know he is wrong, of course, but I don’t have the inclination to read exactly how and why….

queeraselvis v 2.0 June 4, 2009 at 2:41 pm

[re=332288]Min[/re]: Nice.

x111e7thst June 4, 2009 at 2:50 pm

[re=332283]DangerousLiberal[/re]: It is true. She is even rumored to be able to heal the gay of megachurch pastors with her hawtness though I regard that as a vile canard.

lizard scum June 4, 2009 at 2:52 pm

Both are hosts of GE television programs. Reagan on General Electric Theater and Obama on NBC’s Inside the Obama White House .

charlesdegoal June 4, 2009 at 2:58 pm

OK, I’ll grant you that you were never caught selling dime bags. My question, Madam appointee is: Did you ever BUY dime bags? How about nickel bags?

dijetlo June 4, 2009 at 3:01 pm

[re=332291]problemwithcaring[/re]: The fact that Sonya Sotomayor came from a highrise housing project proves two things. Being born in a housing project is just like being born with a silver spoon in your mouth (except it’s plastic)Having sex with your Boxer is a pious, life affirming family activity unless it’s a gay Boxer in which case you need to hustle your pervert ass over to “ Saint Angelina of the Hawtness and git yer cure on.

Cape Clod June 4, 2009 at 3:03 pm

Reagan rode a horse and thought Ted Kennedy was Satan.
Obama rides around on a hound of Satan given to him by Ted Kennedy.

Country Club Jihadi June 4, 2009 at 3:06 pm

Iran Contra. Iran Shukrantra.

mollymcguire June 4, 2009 at 3:14 pm

1. Both once lived in Illinois

2. Both had white mothers.

3. Neither helped liberate Auschwitz (although one of them claimed to have done so)

facehead June 4, 2009 at 3:24 pm

1) Bonzo
2) Bush

1) Government cheese.
2) Nigguh pleez.

MarieDeGournay June 4, 2009 at 4:31 pm

Both are carbon-based, bipedial lifeforms inhabiting the third planet orbiting a yellow dwarf star within the Orion arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. Am I close?

earnestcivilservant June 4, 2009 at 4:35 pm

1) One started the political pendulum swinging to the right; the other grabbed it when it got out of control and started swinging it back to the left.

2) They both married fashion plates.

Decker June 4, 2009 at 4:53 pm

1. Both are named on Roland Burris’ oblisk.

2. Obama gained (more) popularity after having pirates shot in the head: Ronnie gained (another) wife after Nancy took a shot in the mouth.
