'As the end approaches I feel more kindly toward the things. In the scale of cosmic entity who can say which species stands higher, or more nearly approaches a space-wide organic norm -- theirs or mine?'The happy rich people of La Jolla, California awoke Sunday morning to find many 40-lb. live squid flopping and squirming on the fancy beach. This horror show immediately followed a 4.0 earthquake 19 miles off the coast. Why did Nobama do this to us? Can the answer be found in a VERY SUSPICIOUS COMMENT on this San Francisco news website?

JESUS IS LIFE Today at 10:32 AM FLAG COMMENT Well YOU DEMONcRATS are to BLAME for this HELL that has been UNLEASE BY ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST GOD IN THE HIGHEST SAVIOR OF ALL THAT IS MIGHTY JESUS. you ELECTed a MUSLIN to lead the FREE WORLD! and now yoU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE!!!

Oh shit! I wonder if this also explains the pile of dog crap I found on my lawn mysteriously this AM….

azw88 July 13, 2009 at 12:14 am

What’s this biatch whining about? Obama sent fresh calamari to California to help all the starving Californians!

Wet Work July 13, 2009 at 12:15 am

That is one gifted piece of writing for a suspicious comment.

“THE MOST LIBRAL STATE EVER”

I didn’t realize there were earthquakes in Iowa.

19kevin8 July 13, 2009 at 12:20 am

Are they sure it wasn’t the US Navy conducting live firing exercises? Why is everyone so quick to blame mother nature for this?

GreatOldOnesParty July 13, 2009 at 12:21 am

Okay, okay. Which wonketteer posted that comment?

RoscoePColtraine July 13, 2009 at 12:21 am

Yes, this has ‘Wonketeer’ written all over it. I, sadly, cannot take credit for this masterful piece of satire.

El Pinche July 13, 2009 at 12:21 am

Hahaha…comeon, “MULSLIN!!”…although, it is a clever variation with a delight wash of retardation. And “LIBRAL” is a big give away as well.
Smells like shorts to me.

Todd Mecklem July 13, 2009 at 12:24 am

Look, this blaming things on Obama has to stop. He’s doing all he can. If George W. Bush were still president, it would’ve been a 19.0 earthquake 4 miles off the coast, and then Las Vegas would’ve been ocean-front real estate (making Steve Wynn the richest man on earth, BTW).

S.Luggo July 13, 2009 at 12:27 am

At last, Reagan’s corpse has been found.

But what was that placed under the Rotunda for the Jesus-worship led by Nancy and Dame Noonie? A bucketful of salt cod.
Amother Cheney trick.
When will we ever learn?

You FOOLS! That was no mere “40 lb. squid.” That was the baby, newly born version of the FIRST of the MASSIVE swarm of GIANT, MAN-EATING, FRIGGIN’ LASER BEAM EQUIPPED CEPHALOPODS that have escaped from the Cheney-sponsored secret C.I.A. breeding program!!!!

I told you it was a BAD IDEA to let The Evil One see “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” so soon after 9/11!!!!!

lizard scum July 13, 2009 at 12:45 am

[re=360608]Neilist[/re]: These “squid” are really the fetuses of those much larger mutants that may have caused the earthquake, botched partial-birth abortions terminated by Nobama along with the important program.

Also, I wish you wouldn’t post prank comments that you wrote, Ken “JESUS IS LIFE” Layne, that’s just lazy no matter how funny. Wait ’til the rumors you start gain wingnut acceptance, then report that.

Dontread July 13, 2009 at 12:47 am

I actually thought that it was a polyester/cotton blend that was chosen to lead the free world! I will have to get my fabrics straight. . . . Muslin?

villageatrois July 13, 2009 at 12:48 am

Squid always beach themselves between news cycles. But, they’re yummy any time. It’s a gift from the sea God, Poseidon or Jesus. Either way, take the gift and eat ‘em up, Californicators.

Lord Growing July 13, 2009 at 12:51 am

I smoked some Humboldt Squid once. Not as good as advertised.

chascates July 13, 2009 at 12:51 am

Odd. Drudge usually gets his panties in a wad over earthquakes and nothing on his site yet. Maybe the SEE monster is actually one of the Lizard People. Or possibly Jesus himself since he’ll come like a fucking thief in the night or something like that.

lizard scum July 13, 2009 at 12:55 am

[re=360612]lizard scum[/re]: I mean, really, Ken. The “hell in California” of a “plague of sea-monsters” caused by our “Muslin” president who forces “abortions down the throats of innocent children.” This has your fingerprints all over.

chascates July 13, 2009 at 12:56 am

[re=360611]El Pinche[/re]: Well done, sir! You’re right below me.

saggyboobedhag July 13, 2009 at 12:59 am

Who can’t spell feet? If it’s satire, how brilliant to misspell an easy word. If not, forcing abortions down throats scares me.

Another thoughtful commenter adds:

“FINALLY!!! Proof of global warming! I think it’s time to spend millions and millions of American taxpayer dollars to “STOP THE EARTH WARMING” and save the field mice and creek minnow instead of using that money to help fund the troops with better equipment to help save them when the fighting gets tough. Yeah, thats it! PLEASE lets save the buttercups instead of funding schools to teach our children to survive after Obama Administration has spent all their money.”

RoscoePColtraine July 13, 2009 at 1:12 am

Why couldn’t he have warned us about Jesus forcing his rath down our throats, or something hawt and sexy. I woulda believed it was a wingnut if he had said some shit like that.

So, this is the best the modern day Republican version of Ozymandias can do?

Lionel Hutz Esq. July 13, 2009 at 1:28 am

And, really, isn’t the fact that Ben Stein and Shaquille O’Neal are doing commercials together a better sign of the common Apocalypse that will be brought upon us for not rising up and impeaching the foreign, Muslim, demon, un-circumcised commie President that we currently have in office?

Figure out what is really outrageous wingnuts!

lmj July 13, 2009 at 1:30 am

Thanks, Wonkette, for the heads up. Please keep up the good work on alerting us to upcoming Obama-related disasters. That is why I read it daily.

Any word if Cheney has been swimming in the Pacific lately? Or just fishing? It is La Jolla after all.

[re=360622]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: No kidding. It was homo-erotically tinged, enough, to have been a nutter. That, and too many titles were used for Jesus, consecutively, for it to have been one of them. If those nutters know how to do nothing else, they know how to properly string together honorifics for their lord and savior.

Yeah, this is definitely someone from, here. Muslin? Yep.

Lord Growing July 13, 2009 at 1:57 am

Are they sure it was a squid, and not Cindy McCain? This would, of course, implicate Obama as well.

blorgmorg July 13, 2009 at 2:17 am

You should save that loop of the flopping squid at the top of the article for Liberman-related stories.

Just a suggestion…

[re=360605]Ken Layne[/re]: It’s eerily similar to my lobster shaped cozy for my FleshLight.

hobospacejunkie July 13, 2009 at 3:27 am

Shorts is going to have a hard time convincing anyone here that he’s not the culprit. He’ll need a watertight alibi from a third party, plus a copy of his browsing history and those of any friends he may have visited, as well as the browsing history of his phone browser and that of his friends. Without these proofs we should assume guilt. It’s the American way.

Also, turn a squid upside down and have a look. They have beaks. Which look really really creepy, like it’s not supposed to be there. Therefore I proclaim squids, like scorpions, to be sins against nature. They are to be avoided at all costs. Though I have to rate scorpions just above squids on the creepy scale, since one laid in wait for me under my pillow earlier this week and stung me as I got into bed. I can handle the sting, but the thought of the creepiest land critter on earth touching me, poisoning me, laying in my bed, well ewwwwwww, yuck, gross.

Anyone seen The Future is Wild? Squids are the new people, y’all. I think Nobama’s about to introduce a hate crimes bill that includes number of limbs, and vertebrate status. (But no sexual orientation, because, seriously, gay squids?!?)

The best thing is, if you take out the part about California, you could cut and paste that comment into any news story.

Mad Brahms July 13, 2009 at 9:15 am

Voting shorts as well. The tipoff for me was less the MULSLIN than the “I ASSURE YOU MY PASTOR TOLD ME” bit, which was over-the-top enough to ring all of the “fake wonkette plant” alarm bells.

Manos: Hands of Fate July 13, 2009 at 9:39 am

Sorry pal, but Jesus is going to have to do better than having flopping squids wash up on shore before I stop voting for Muslim abortionists.

He’s going to have to send a prehistoric sea beast to knock down some cities before the Palin/Bachman ticket gets my vote.
