That East Texas pipe bomb guy does look kinda disenchanted. Cute, too.
OMG, the folding robot is so damn CUTE! It just looks so intent on folding the towels, all smoothing them out. Usually by the time we get around to folding clothes, we’re huffing and growling at each other, and who gives a good fuckall if they’re actually folded halfway decent. And then this little robot puts its little cyber heart into folding those towels the best it can and then it goes over to the table and all the clothes are gone and it now has a sad.
I think it needs a hug. I also think I may need therapy.
Oh! Oh! I see an opportunity for a tag-team PSA pressure specail! Michell can hit them up for cooperation on healthy lifestyles for children, seeing as obese and inbred are equally stupid and dangerous.
And here I though East Texas was the progressive half of the state.
Today, we are all Andrew Sullivan’s undergarments.
Geez, Bender has really gone downhill.
in an irony so exquisite it could not be scripted, are the confederacy awareness folks aware that it was on this day 145 years ago that their star general, bobby lee, surrendered the starving and ragged remnants of a very brave but rather defeated army? sure, the confederacy never surrendered, but that’s because it fell apart. sliced into little pieces by the union armies, all of its armies surrendered one by one, its government fled in terror (its president was apprehended disguised in his wife’s clothes), and it was under military occupation for over a decade. certainly the confederacy awareness folks should be aware of all this.
Man, those anti-government extremists sure know how to bring sexy back.
“The War of Yankee Aggression History Month” is a good idea only if the key theme being propounded is “We kicked your southern fried asses once and we will gladly do it again”.
That little robot reminds me of my wife. Except for the “folding the laundry” part – and the “not draining my account the millisecond the direct deposit hits” part.
Maybe Sully can come over and teach my Shoomba (or whatever it’s called) how to wash my fucking floors.
re: Pipe bomber picture, I dub thee “Hatey the clown”
Dangerous and stupid are like peanut butter and jelly…
[re=552509]I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO[/re]: This is the whole reason my roomba hasn’t been used in a year. It was far too depressing to see the little guy suck on the carpet until all the life was drained from it’s little battery heart… he could never quite figue out when the carpet was clean… or how to find his home. Needless to say my heat skips a beat when the cat is laid out on the living room floor – is he dead or just sleeping? I have been traumatized.
I swear the Texas terrorist on mailboxes looks just like the creepy floating guy from Dune who had Sting as his toy boy.
As a concurrent counter-holiday I propose a Nat Turner day.
As federal agents searched North’s home today in Rusk County, neighbors expressed surprise that the man they knew as the driver of the children’s train at the annual Henderson Syrup Festival was linked to the bombs.
Always with the fucking surprise. These articles just write themselves, don’t they?
I like the Red Stater that made the comment that “No one that is pro-life can support the Democratic Party.”
So I guess Log Cabin Republiklans don’t exist either?
Along with Confederate History Month, we should have a Nazi History Month to celebrate Hitler’s brave war against communism and Stalin.

Oh my, it looks like the Texas pipe bomber was none other than the old Marvel supervillain Egghead ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egghead_%28comics%29 ); and here I though he was one of the few dead Marvel characters to have stayed dead.
Does anyone have pictures of Andrew actually wearing these machine-folded “hand” towels?
I want a towel folding robot!
Also, I want War of Northern Aggression Kicking Confederate Ass month!
The East Texas clown supposedly was in a wheelchair when arrested. Anyi bets he was on Social Security disability?
[re=552649]populucious[/re]: Can we have accurate reenactments of Sherman’s march as part of the festivities?
old people are seriously losing their shit.
I totally support Matt Yglesias’ proposal. With reenactments.
[re=552675]JMP[/re]: Oh hell yeah. Maybe burn down some KFCs. It’ll be righteous.
1. Hutaree Christan Militia Month
2. Whiskey Rebellion Month, to honor all Western Pennsylvanian heroes who stood up to General/President Geo. Washington, America’s first military dictator.
3. McCoy-Hadfield Feud Month, dedicated to the Hadfields with courage enough to go hand-to-hand with those backwoods scoundrels the McCoys
4. Hadfield-McCoy Feud Month, dedicated to the McCoys with courage enough to go hand-to-hand with those backwoods scoundrels the Hadfields
Bart Stupak, RINO, may he rest in peace and attend the polka festival of his choice.

“Oh, um, your cat is dead.”
“That’s not very God damn funny.”
“Am I laughing? Two hours, give or take half an hour –”
“Oh my God! Are you SURE she’s dead?”
“Why do people ALWAYS ask that question?”
This is very nice tutorial for the great tax or other information sliced into little pieces by the union armies, all of its armies surrendered one by one, its government fled in terror (its president was apprehended disguised in his wife’s clothes), and it was under military occupation for over a decade on the Politics.
