- RedState can’t get over Chris Christie’s no baloney governin’ style, especially his completely serious threat to “punch” the Teacher’s Union. What a man hunk … we hear gay wedding bells! [RedState]
- Who has time to blog as much as Matt Yglesias does? Media-saavy retired folk from the future and millions of grumpy unemployed people from the present. [Matt Yglesias]
- Federal judges in Gulf Coast states own so much BP stock that they often use it as stationery when they write hate mail to fishermen and nature. Justice is coming soon! [Think Progress]
- If the Tea Party is really serious about limiting government/expanding Ayn Rand, it must allow America to smoke that weed. [Hit & Run]
- BP will pretend to clean up all the oceans and wetlands of North America until at least autumn, which means yes, an oil-crusted baby seal Halloween costume would be “too soon.” [Daily Intel]

Yousa say people gonna get high?
In a lot of ways, I think retirees are going to prove to be the killer ap of digital content creation
Then we’ll seriously be fucked.
The day TeaBaggers get behind legalizing drugs is the day there is a snowball fight in hell. My father ‘allies’ himself with the baggers, and has very sharp views on legalization: he said that EVERYONE will become a lazy, grass-smoking lump on the couch. I explained to him that not every person is an extreme addict (he went to detox for his drinking and met other Hunter Thompson types), and its impossible for that much drug money to come from stolen TVs, VCRs, and car stereos…
He still defied my logic.
If the [teabagger] party is true to its principles — fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets — it must side with the libertarians.
Hahahaha — so eloquent a summation of the failure of both the teabaggers and the Libertarians has rarely been stated.
First, the Teabaggers don’t believe in those things as principles — they believe in them as means to accomplish their strategy, which is to get the loudest, most alarmist unknowing corporate shill elected. And the Libertarians, whether they’re aware of this or not, are not the possessors of the only sensible interpretation of the Constitution.
And yet, as awful a combination as Teabaggers and Libertarians is, it’s like watching a couple of inbred cousins making out. One’s first reaction is utter horror and a wish to stop such behavior, until one realizes that they’re pretty much keeping anyone else from being inflicted with their presence — so what the hell, as long as they do it in private, why not.
Lori Ziganto seems to have a huge crush on Jersey’s whale of a governor; it’s true, like with Kissinger, it doesn’t matter how ugly a guy is, if he has power he can get the women. And hey, he’s certainly sticking it to those spoiled schoolchildren!
The teabaggers aren’t going to be big on pot legalization, because they want to make sure the government needs an excuse to keep arresting a significant number of otherwise law abiding black men, and anyway their drug of choice is crystal meth.

“he said that EVERYONE will become a lazy, grass-smoking lump on the couch.”
That does pretty much describe most of the potheads with whom I went to high school. Meet them now, more than 20 yrs later and they’re still lazy grass smoking lumps.
Meanwhile, fat fuck Chris Christie raised his staff salaries by $440,000, including 34 staffers earning more than $100,000, vs. 24 under Corzine in 2009. Christie takes his $175,000 salary; Christie took $1. Christie is making big noises, but the truth is he’s trying to cut taxes only for the rich, cutting state aid, and pushing all the problems onto the local municipalities, and fuck everyone so he looks good. He should drop dead.
Funny. Redstate’s “delicious” propaganda doesn’t mention all the protests agin’ Christie. Funny too, those protests far outweighed the teabaggers numbers. And yes, I meant “outweighed” to say that Christie is fat. Also.
“I hope he keeps this up because he be the man who saved New Jersey. Then they will need to make a bronze statue of him. Then they could add his brass balls when he finally passes away.”
Jesus – RedState and Christie need to just a get a room.
[re=593443]bynrdskynrd[/re]: Hell is getting pretty chilly. Rush Limbaugh hired a homosexual gay man to perform at his (4th) wedding.
[re=593461]Katydid[/re]: Christie, don’t get me started. How did you like his grandiose announcement that he’s gonna cut off the ability of State agencies to buy tickets to Meadowlands events at face value, but the Governor’s office, its gonna keep using those free box seats at the Garden State Arts Center (Fuck You, Christie Whitman, thats what it is).
Christie is a fucking fat bag of vile, evil shit. Don’t get me started on the fat fuck, who used his office as prosecutor to engage in politically motivated corruption prosecutions, orchestrated by Karl Rove. The gargantuan hypocracy of the supposed corruption-fighter, who bout the fucking appointment as US Attorney by having his rich wall street brother donate $100,000 to Dubyas first campaign. Who then invented a new form of shakedown racket, starting investigations of corporate “crimes,” only to work out pre-indictment plea deals (no judicial review) which involved the victims agreeing to “supervision,” by receivers and special masters and auditors chosen by Christie, who the victims then had to pay millions and millions of dollars. Guess who Christie appointed, fellow GOP cronies, Ashcroft earned $20 million from just one of these Christie shakedowns.
He’s not going after the teachers because he has any real policy ideas, he said it in public, I heard it with my ears, he said, he’s going after the teachers because they didn’t contribute to him or support him, and they campaigned against him. Its just plain bullying fat fuck retribution. Evil, evil fat fuck.
And whats with Guadagno travelling everywhere with him and sucking his dick in public, they act like they’re king and queen of the prom.
[re=593463]freakishlystrong[/re]: They’re also running ads against Christie quite a bit; it’s weird to see them, since while I’m used to getting Jersey political ads since the state can’t get their own TV stations and have to use ours, the Governor’s race was last year, he won’t be up for reelection for another three years. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen an attack ad when there’s no election in sight.
[re=593461]Katydid[/re]: Well, Jesus Christ, K…how the hell else is he going to attract the top talent?
[re=593475]you cannot be serious[/re]: POE compromised?
Teabaggers trying to buy votes with weed? I’m shocked, just shocked!!!!
♫♫ one toke over the line sweet jebus, one toke over the line ♫♫
♫♫ sittin’ here votin’ in my pollin’ station, one toke over the line ♫♫
[re=593475]you cannot be serious[/re]: Hell is getting pretty chilly. Rush Limbaugh hired a homosexual gay man to perform at his (4th) wedding.
Rush has nothing against gay people. They make great entertainers, hairdressers, interior decorators…
[re=593496]coolcatdaddy[/re]: Just don’t let them assume they’re equal to fat white rednecks. Reminds me that Sammy Davis Jr. wasn’t allowed to stay in the Vegas hotels where he performed.
You know, Libertarians actually make perfect sense on two topics, the role of government in marriage (should be “none”) and the absurdity of the war on drugs. Of course, this is merely proof of the old philosophical question about what is produced when you give enough monkeys enough typing paper (kids, “typing paper” was a reference to Stone Age data storage) — the rest of the time, Libertarians are the political equivalent of Trekkies. Frank Zappa was a Libertarian, but we love him anyway.
You see, I don’t see the Tea Party movement as Alice in Wonderland, more of a Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Free enterprise means drug companies should be able to profit from physiological necessity of getting high. After all, if God didn’t want Man to smoke weed, why would He make cannabinoid-receptors in the brain? And fire. And weed. You see, God has a plan for us. It’s a totally fucked up plan, but it’s a plan.
[re=593477]Prommie[/re]: You either live in New Jersey or have a low degree of self of steam to spend so much time learning about the Great White Whale. Yea Prommie, I could not have said it better. Except to have added a few more ‘fat fuck’s. I know a law partner of Mary White, his predessesor who, after a few, claims she was going to can him for incompetence but DC interviened.
[re=593461]Katydid[/re]: It’s called Pawlentyism. Ask yourself, what do I, as governor, have to do to make my state as awsome as Mississippi?
I believe you heard gay dinner bells. Because Christie’s a fatso.
Tea Baggers rise, massive murk dumped in ocean. Coincidence? I think not.
Wow, Matt can be really dumb sometimes. There isn’t any such thing as “retirement” any more, Matt. It was stricken from the OED two years ago.
Mocking Chris Christie is all very well and good, but do we know if he went to Rush’s “wedding?”
Teabaggers aren’t about limiting government. They are about limiting government services to the people that could benefit from them.
Spending money to kill brown people=Good
Spending money to help Americans=Bad
[re=593607]Sussemilch[/re]: If the proximate cause of the explosion turns out to be a teabagger on the rig who was lighting his farts at the time, everyone here is going to owe you several drinks, at least.
[re=593514]lawrenceofthedesert[/re]: Honestly, “the Libertarian position” on a whole lot of (non-economic) issues is pretty appealing, but best of luck finding actual Libertarians who actually hold those positions and are willing to focus on those things, instead of how much they dislike the Civil Rights Act, justforinstance.
For example, the silence from everyone who isn’t a lefty-lefty when it came to that whole “secret torture prison” thing and that whole “illegally spying on everyone, without warrants” thing was kinda fucking deafening.
Truth is, except for radical deregulation of business interests, most self-identified Libertarians don’t give a fuck about freedom. Best case: they’re apathetic about anything that isn’t their bank accounts. Worst case: they’re mostly just right-wingers who glommed onto the Libertarian label because “Republican” is sort of going through an unpopular phase, and are thus [i]pretending[/i] that they think anything at variance from conservative orthodoxy, but really really don’t.
[re=593524]DC Hates Me[/re]: Bill & Ted’s still had something of a plot. I’d say it’s more like random outbursts from Eric Cartman. Respect mah author-i-tah.
[re=593898]mumblyjoe[/re]: For example, the silence from everyone who isn’t a lefty-lefty when it came to that whole “secret torture prison” thing and that whole “illegally spying on everyone, without warrants” thing was kinda fucking deafening.
What’s really “fucking deafening” is the wind howling through the empty space between your ears.

This is very nice posting The gargantuan hypocracy of the supposed corruption-fighter, who bout the fucking appointment as US Attorney by having his rich wall street brother donate $100,000 to Dubyas first campaign. Who then invented a new form of shakedown racket, starting investigations of corporate “crimes,” only to work out pre-indictment plea deals (no judicial review) which involved the victims agreeing to “supervision,” by receivers and special masters and auditors chosen by Christie, who the victims then had to pay millions and millions of dollars thanks by student aid.
