- Iran holds a big important election today, one that may see the hardline incumbent president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad replaced with a more progressive figure, Mir Hossein Mousavi, for whom all the hot girls are voting. [Al Jazeera]
- The Holocaust Museum will open after a day of mourning for the security guard who was killed on Wednesday. [AP]
- We can fly a man to the moon, but we cannot figure out how to prevent errant birds from bringing down massive jetliners. [Los Angeles Times]
- Sarah Palin is still mad about the well-known rape-joke comedian and all-around perv David Letterman making rape jokes about the unfamous daughter that everybody forgot she even had. Why couldn’t he have made a very obvious pregnancy joke about the daughter who’s famous for getting pregnant, instead? Oh wait. [Entertainment Weekly]
- President Obama has basically given up on transferring any Guantanamo detainees to the US, so now all he has to do is persuade our international allies that the men who are too dangerous to keep in America will be totally fine someplace else. [Washington Post]
- Maryland schools are experimenting with some pretty radical ideas, such as telling parents when kids are failing, and spending more money on the schools with more problems. [Wall Street Journal]
Snowbilly Grifter is pissed because Letterman couldn’t remember which weird-ass name she saddled the middle kid with. She should have gone with Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Easy, Fox-Trot, etc, so we could all keep track of them when they commit crimes (”Pres. Sarah Palin’s 24th child, X-Ray, was arrested for breaking into a Wasilla tattoo parlor today…”).
OK, so you’re not a “slutty flight attendant,” but did Piper ever give back the Louis Vuitton bag?
From the Al Jazeera article, by Taymoor Nabili:
“If Iran is indeed “a messianic, apocalyptic cult”, as Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, recently claimed, its government needs to seriously improve its brainwashing techniques.”
I guess the people who would call the Iranian election a sham, probably think there’s no birth certificate for Barry. Interestingly enough, I guess anyone else can protest election results… after all, we sure bitched after Florida 2000.
I’m glad the USHMM can continue its mission in the face of left-wing Nazi hate.
Anyone see Rahm’s Tweet to Rev Wright?

I for one, welcome the new Axis of Green.
Actually we can’t fly a man to the moon anymore. The NASA people here in H-town are convinced Obammers is about to slash all of their jobs and turn the Johnson Space Center into ACORN office space.
Snowbilly sure is milking her excruciatingly LONG 15 minutes with her media sympathy whore tour. No one in their right mind thought Dave was talking about the [assumed] still-virginal Klondike offspring. Sorry, but once people know you put out (Bristol), it’s assumed you’ve done it more than once. And hey, if you’ll give it up for Levi Fucking Johnson, why wouldn’t you give it up for A-Rod?
In fairness to the massive jetliners, there are no birds in space.
Thankfully, sometime today, Palin will disappear from the airwaves. A mush mind that addled can not be digitized.
Wow, I am so coming up in the world. I live in the “red zone” in the WSJ article(well, that is not movin on up), know Bob Astrove mentioned in the article and knew both people in a radio report about the River Road water main break. I wonder if Matt Lauer wants me to be on his show now?
Super wingnut James von Brunn has a history of violence and insanity; yet, he probably had no problem getting guns for shooting Jews, brown people and anybody not like him. USA, yeah! I read some comment stating that it was the liberals fault because they didn’t want people carrying weapons. Problem is, the guard was armed.
Chickensmack: And just like in America, challenges are referred to the local Supremes*, which rule in favorite of their preferred candidate.
* in this case the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, but what’s the difference?
The fact that we can’t figure out how to get birds from attacking our jetliners proves that we never sent a man to the moon.
40 years ago we put a man on the moon. Where’s my jetpack damnit.
The current motto of the Maryland Dept of Education is “Bite Us, Virginia!”
AL GORE HAS RIDDEN THE MOON WORM
We should also use recent 300-game winner Randy Johnson in a War on Errant Birds.
I saw Hannity discussing the Letterman vulgarity with two girls, one named Cupp, and it was hilarious how they avoided the obvious implication that the daughter in question was proven winner Bristol rather than Willow. Hannity called on Obama to repudiate the Letterman remarks and called it a “Sister Souljah” moment. Yea, Sean, if by “Sister Souljah” moment you mean an opportunity for Obama to do the pussy-triangulator dance that Clinton was so good at. And why should the POTUS be commenting on late night TV humor anyway. He’s got nothing else to worry about?
So the big amazing thing Monkey Co Md is using is edline? Even the country’s crappiest school district - Clark Co NV uses that.
Now if it could track when thugs were beating the crap out of your kids too maybe Clark CO wouldn’t be so bad.
“We can fly a man to the moon, but we cannot figure out how to prevent errant birds from bringing down massive jetliners. ”
Cyborg cats with lasers mounted to their heads. We build them into the plane engines and they zap the birds before they get sucked into the intakes. As a side benefit, jet planes would run on cat nip and the only by product would be kitty litter.
I don’t know why they haven’t started on this already, it’s so simple.
Maryland schools are just rewarding failure. Give the money to the schools that are working, that’s the American way! The failing schools, uh, vouchers maybe?
Texan Bulldoggette: That’s a pretty big assumption, Tex.
gjdodger:
X-Ray was bailed out by his older sister, Whiskey Palin, no doubt.
SnowBilly Palin would make a great ambassador to Iran. Their ruling elites are all closeminded, ignorant, shouty and annoying. Also, they dress badly. She would fit right in. Our Barry should move to immediately re-establish diplomatic relations.
Any day that starts with fingering Iranian babes is a good day.
Come here a minute:
No, actually, the failing schools are getting a lot of attention. There’s an elementary in Silver Spring discussed in the article. There was an article about PG County school changes recently in the Post, as well.
Palin just looks dumber and dumber cause this might lead to questions about her Christer fundie parenting ability.
Come here a minute:
No vouchers. Free coupons for Taco Bell. Might as well make them fat and unedumakated.
x111e7thst:
Where do find a translator that can handle Alaskan Gibberish to Iranian?
I’m a conservative and a Christian, a Real American™, therefore my daughter is not a slut, and anyone who says otherwise is a perv. See how that works?
Admit it, aren’t we all tired and finished with the whole Palin thing. She’s meaningless and her entertainment value ended about 20 years ago. She’s just part of the daily noise and clutter in our world that is tedious and unimportant. Time to move on boys and girls.
Ugh. Would someone please tell Wasilla Trailer Trash Barbie to pull on her big girl panties and STFU? I mean, damn, it’s not like she doesn’t have a drawer full of them.
I wouldn’t wanna be an Old reaching for something in his coat pocket at the USHMM entrance today.
Also, nice to see Obama cave so easily to Congressional crybabies over the GTMO prisoners. Can’t wait for that super radical revolutionary health care bill that’ll probably lower costs 0.5% over 35 years, make sure only 50 million Americans don’t have health insurance and blow off altogether a government alternative to compete with the current confiscatory regime of insurance providers.
Monsieur Grumpe: The translator could just tell the ayatollahs :”the Ambasatrix is having another spasm, you know how women get”. And the best part is it would be more or less true.
dijetlo: Because the catnip would make the planes hawny….
gjdodger: November Palin is one sexy lady, but I heard that the father of her baby is actually older brother Golf Palin.
I do not blame Letterman or A-Rod. It’s just that those Palin women are so fertile. They catch the preggers if you just sneeze on them wrong.
Today We All Green-Fingered Hot Iranian Babes?!?!?!?
A goose done cooked my sister Nell (with Whitey on the moon).
freakishlystrong: So we change of the name of the company from Boeing to Boing, still and imminently workable solution.
Sarah’s just mad Dave is safe in NY, she can’t have the Alaska troopers plant a bag of meth in his car and 10 gig of kiddie porn on his computer. The free air time with Matt and shopping at Bloomies will have to do.
All the outrage Palin is showing isn’t very funny, but neither is Dave Letterman.
Chickensmack: yea, we bitched for 8 years, but we didnt go around shootin’ up the place.
Didn’t Letterman apologize to big league whoretrash Paris Hilton some time ago? Why is Letterman or Palin news? What about Clean House’s Messiest homes in America or new recipes on Emeril Green- that is news!
Sarah Palin is all ‘clutch necklace and *gasp*’ over Letterman? Shit, her youngest daughter is already turning tricks for bubble gum.
David Letterman is edgy, but god I miss George Carlin.
Holy $hit, if you scroll through the TPM pictures, you’ll see a shot of evil twin Iranian ginger monster girls. I don’t think I’ll be the same again.
Min: Lose.
what’s with nbc’s friday full of fake right-wing darling bimbo umbrage and outrage? after bible spice, her replacement, former miss california usa was yelling at matt lauer and blaming the gayz for ruining marriage and getting her crown stripped. the folks @ miss california have yet to rule on whether she can keep the fake rack they bought her.
i don’t care what church she goes to, if she wants to win, she should know her audience and i would bet, beauty pageants rank in the top 10 places to find lots & lots of gay dudes. she should lose for piss poor tactical decision making alone. Miss Tel Aviv ain’t going to win Miss Israel if she talks shit about AIPAC in response to a question.
What does it say that Bermuda and Palau aren’t afraid to take some of the Guantanamo detainees while us red blooded, ass kickin’ Americans are too scared to let them in the country?
Silly Wonkette. There are no geese on the moon!
AxmxZ: Airmail Special Whitey on the Moon for Hero Capt. Chester Sully Sullyberger
A goose done cooked a big ol’ plane
(With Whitey on the moon)
It’s metal turbines began to strain
(And Whitey’s on the moon)
The pilot frantically circled back
(But Whitey’s on the moon)
He barely landed, plane intact
(While Whitey’s on the moon)
