Abu Yahya Majahideen al-Adam, Adam Gadahn, it’s an understandable mistake.
My son’s middle name is Adam and we live in socialist Europe. Should I be afraid?

An increase in the frequency and severity of earthquakes is a sure sign that global warming is nothing more than anti-American leftist propaganda.

“She said staffs of community organizations are training to demonstrate how the condom should be used properly. One group is in talks with a hair salon on Martin Luther King Avenue in Southeast Washington to introduce the condom and provide instruction on its use there.”

What is the female equivalent of a banana?

With all these earthquakes and Miley Cyress’ head growing at an ungodly rate (have you seen the massive dome on this little nickelodeon spawn lately?? Thx Huffpo oscar pictures!!) , the Rapture is coming!!! I got first dibs on my wingnutty neighbor’s jet ski.

Describing the new Female Condom: “…the FC2, which is made of thinner polyurethane than the earlier model, so it conducts body heat and sensation better — and rustles less.”

I KNEW that a remake of the Smurfs wasn’t gonna go anywhere this year at the Academy Awards.

“Men who have always longed to make love to a trash bag”…
And I’m anxiously anticipating a Liz Cheney or Anne Coulter joke but I get news about a birth control program. Snark Fail!

For International Woman’s Day, should we sing the Internationale, I am Woman or something else?

Monsieur Grumpe March 8, 2010 at 9:18 am

Are these females condoms dishwasher safe?

So glad the academy is finally recognizing the hard work of facial rodents — was getting sick of all the awards to Tom Selleck’s facial caterpillar.

The Earth’s crust has really been getting cranky a lot lately. Hmm, have geologists been keeping a close eye on that super-volcano under Yellowstone? At least, when it goes off, those of us on the East Coast probably only face a lingering death by starvation rather than being poisoned by ash.

What an upset win for Judd Nelson! Smart money was on Chuck Todd for winning the Oscar in the Best Facial Rodent category.

Oh God, another whackadoodle Ross Douthat column. I can’t keep up with the guy anymore! Talk about productivity. (When we use this word in referring to my 9-month-old son, we mean something, well, very similar!)

I’m a Pennsylvania native, and I am afraid of harassment as the media starts to portray us all as terrorists. While we pretty much are, I don’t want to be harassed, please.

If you think getting anal from a woman is tough now, wait until you have to stuff one of those female condoms in there.

Naked Bunny with a Whip March 8, 2010 at 9:51 am

and rustles less

Just cover that up with squeaky bedsprings and barking dogs/girlfriends.

norbizness March 8, 2010 at 9:53 am

I would have voted for John Travolta and his messed-up goatee in From Paris With Love that looks like it was painted-on.

Haiti, Chile, Turkey…Californians, maybe take all your Franklin Mint shit off of the mantelpiece for a bit, just till the storm passes. Anything could happen, Hussein has established that he is an appeaser when it comes to the earth’s tectonic plate activity.

Hah at first I felt all smug and was gearing up for a “sex with a trash bag” joke, until I realized that if someone came up to me unannounced and offered me the opportunity to fuck a trash bag I would probably check my daily calendar first before making my final determination. All I know is that if the rubber were to meet the road, I’d be very gentle.

Historians will note that the gender barrier was broken in the facial caterpillar category long before Best Director went to a woman.

Prommie March 8, 2010 at 10:31 am

Judd has to grow a much bushier facial bush if he is going to try to hide those fucking nostrils. Motherfucker could, as Steve Martin once joked, snort a piano up his nose.

Limeylizzie March 8, 2010 at 10:36 am

Actually , I could pretty much give Mr Nelson a run for his money as now that I am down to my last good egg I can sport a veritable Van Dyck if I am not vigilant.

Please, don’t let it be one of my relatives. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

“Men who have always longed to make love to a trash bag…”

This must be the most easily fulfilled fantasy ever.

[re=526098]weejee[/re]: The band actually played “I Am Woman” when Babs gave Cameron’s ex the director’s Oscar, sigh. I hoped that it was a musical comment on the award being 30 years overdue. After all this time, it still reeks as a tune (written by a man, Ray Burton; Helen Reddy wrote the lyrics only). The tendency is to glamorize 60′s and 70′s pop music, when most of it was dreadful. For every Beatles album, there were four by John Denver or Bobby Goldsboro.
