UH OH, THE 2012 CAMPAIGN IS HEATING UP! On Tuesday, your editor made fun of Ron Paul’s new fleeing eagle logo and alleged that the campaign stole their red-white-and-blue swoosh from Mitt Romney’s campaign, who had, we found earlier, stolen his swoosh from the Aquafresh logo. But according to some 21-year-old with an Etsy named Skylar Hartman, he designed Paul’s logo months ago and presented it to the little old libertarian man in an open letter, and Ron Paul apparently replied, “Sure, I’ll take your free logo, whatever.” Ron Paul did not steal Mitt Romney’s logo; if anything, Romney took Paul’s logo from this Skylar kid. Scandal! What will the voters of New Hampshire think of THIS controversy? Will they now slightly prefer boring utter loser Ron Paul to boring utter loser Mitt Romney?!?!?!?!?!

subject: Re: Ron Paul LogoDear Jack Stuef,
I appreciate your criticism on both the Ron Paul and Mitt Romney logos however you are spreading false information by suggesting that Ron Paul’s logo was ripped and/or stolen from Mitt Romney’s Exploratory Committee Campaign logo. I’m the creator of the brand design for Ron Paul which I created a couple of months ago and submitted, publicly, on my website (www.brandingronpaul.com). If anyone stole anything it would have been Romney, however I believe he has better things to do and more character than to take another designers logo. I would ask that you please correct your article as it contains errors.
Sincerely,
Skylar Hartman
Hartman Collective
Our favorite part of this letter is how “take another designers logo” implies that Mitt Romney is a graphic designer. Ha! That sort of thing is way too exciting and is thus banned by the Mormon church. And even if he wanted to do some graphic design, Mitt broke the family Gateway when he strapped it onto the dog on the roof of the car and it crashed onto the road, so they don’t own a computer anymore.
Because Skylar Hartman of the Hartman Collective (yes, we got this e-mail from the big man at Hartman himself!) says he made this logo only two months ago, it’s conceivable that Romney’s people actually made theirs first. But we’re not going to look into this, because seriously, who gives a fuck? Even if we did care, THE SWOOSH WAS STILL STOLED FROM AQUAFRESH.
The Hartman Collective’s website is worth a look though, just to see into the brain of an ernest young Ron Paul fan:
Surely the wingnuts who vote in Republican primaries will be glad to know the red, white, and blue all have a whole new meaning dictated to them by Ron Paul. They will really appreciate that. They always like it when people redefine America for them.
But anyway, GO TO HELL, MITT ROMNEY, YOU STOLED RON PAUL’S LOGOOOOOOOOOOO!

The truth is that Ron Paul stole the red-white-and-blue from the French. If only he also could have stolen the wine, cheese, baguettes, health care system, 35 hour work week, and 30+ paid vacation days a year, we'd be in business.
Yeah but they have the whole muslim problem that we don't.
Oui'd be in business…or, "Not in MY taxi-cab, Mister!"
You know who else got his ideas from the French?
Hope he didnt design his toofy swoosh gratis. Objectivist fail.
Well, it is a collective. From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs. Right up Ron Paul's alley. Also totes libertarian.
Exactly. To each according to their greed.
MM!!! I can't believe it's you- I have all your albums, and listen all the time!
Checked out Skylar's website and that t-shirt he has for sale is wonderful! I'd really like to have a couple of those. Does he take Pay Pal? Is it possible to get it without the douchey design though? Just plain gray for me. Thanks in advance!
"Does he take Pay Pal?"
Gold bullion only!
What, Barb, no Scarlet Letter?
I checked out the website and have to say that his blue bumper stickers look a bit too much like the one's Obama campaign used two years ago. Maybe Skylar "samples" like a rapper.
Pay Paul, I believe.
Actually, for Ronnie Paul's logo, the "white" is not even there. So truth be told, Ron Paul is no longer pure. Only unadulterated hardiness and vigilance remains. Now that's a true Repugnantlican!
It's Ron Paul: of course the white is still there.
hardiness and Valor sounds a little like porn, no?
That would be Hardness and Valerie. Check out the blooper reel, it's aweSOME!
The invisible hand job rears its ugly head again.
You can find Harness and Velour in the S&M section.
ROTFL!
and speaking of porn: barry just sent me an email called 'big things'…
Coming soon?
Excuse me while whip this out!
Which gives a whole new meaning to purity, vigilance, and justice…
If "brandingronpaul" involves a red hot piece of iron, then I'm totally on board with this.
We should sell tickets. Just like Ayn would have.
Make it sharp and rusty and I'm in.
Go for it elviously, don't be cowed by the Paultards.
It'd be easier to brand Rand Paul as he's slow and stupid. Ron Paul is old and cagey, harder to catch than is his dull witted son.
Boy, this republican primary is really shaping up to be a battle for the ages. Specifically, ages 65-80.
Wouldn't that be the battle of the aged…what?
Psssst! …I don't think this Skylar kid "gets" this here Wonkette web concern…
First off, he sent a letter to the editor.
It's like begging to be abused. Almost as abject as sending something to tips@wonkette.com
Who really cares….I want to see all of their long form birth certificates – NOW!
Hartman Collective? That sounds commie to me. Either that or a progressive rock band. Either way: Hate that.
The Hartman Collective promotes bold synergistic solutions to the contemporary branding challenges in our culture.
And the Lambda, as seen on the shields of the Spartan Army, stands for Lacedaemonia, one of the peripheral units of Greece.
And Lambda = the ghey, doncha know. You wouldn't catch Lou Sarah falling for this Collective "art."
Damn, you beat me to it…
In Ron Paul's case, wouldn't it be Lamb–Duhhh?
Mitt's logo has got to be a terrified dog, strapped to the roof of a speeding car. The dog should be sh**tting its brains out. And you know something, WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE THAT DOG if this man is ever elected.
As long as it is shitting a stream of Red, White, and Blue.
Closest I could come, along with another pol's use of a dog for electioneering.
This shitstreak represents hardiness and Valor, and being scared shitless
This shitstreak represents purity (of fear)
This shitstreak represents vigilance, justice and diarrhea
That place would have shitty roads and nothing would ever get done.
A bunch of people who have nothing, asking to borrow it from people who won't lend it.
And little stashes of gold everywhere.
That their parents gave them
But enough about the Arcade Fire.
It isn't in my rational self-interest to grow food. That is the job of the parasites.
The big capital "A" stands for the cohesive theme of "anal," right? Thereby unifying the disparate messages embodied by the colors with concepts such as "Anal Vigilance" and "Anal Justice" etc . . .
Well, according to his website, he's done work for a group called the H. E. Butt Foundation. Hmmmm.
. . . and the upside-down V in the background stands for the utter lack of Victory they foresee in the mighty Ron's future.
Maybe they're using "collective" ironically.
I was just going to say that! (ER, type that.) Good thing I read all the comments first, so I won't be guilty of stealing your intellectual property.
's OK if you did. Pretty much what youse clever corvids do, anyway.
Beautiful plumage.
Thanks. I just had to look up corvid – a learning experience. It's great getting in touch with my roots.
Also, nice knowing that stealing is in my genes. I wonder if they'll let me use that defense in court. If not, I can fall back on the classic "Let's look forward, not backward!" That always seems to work for war criminals and such.
…or, they're just dumb asses.
Always a good working assumption with this bunch.
I can honestly say I have never met a Paultard with a sense of irony.
http://www.brandingronpaul.com ?
Sounds kinky.

Because this campaign is of the people, by the people and for the people of America, I put a greater emphasis on the letter “A”
Because "A" is for Asshole; that's good enough for me.
Oh,well fuck me, I thought the A was for Aquafresh.
Meanwhile, someone from Obama's campaign is saying, "Um, did you see that 'O' I designed a few years ago?"
We here at the Wonkette Kibbutz would like to respond to Skylar's request.
No.
I want to be in this Kibbutz! Where do we meet? Do I have to convert or forsake anything? Because I can do that.
…as long as this kibbutz doesn't involve shoveling turkey shit and picking grapes somewhere in the desert near the border of a hostile country.
Wait just a goldurn minute. Mitt Romney not only has character but a surplus of it. The same guy who strapped the family dog to the roof of his car? Learn something new every day.
Ooh, is this the same guy who put the backwards "LOVE" in Paul's "REVOLUTION" logo back in '06? Cuz that's just the right amount of cognitive dissonance a member of a "Collective" should have to work for a Libertarian candidate!
Probably not. Five years ago he was barely old enough to be wishing he could get his drivers' permit if only his dad didn't think the combustion engine was the modern day work of the devil.
The Libertarian Collective. File that one with Populist Billionaire.
Logo, schmogo. Flag pins or GTFO.
(forgive if repeated, ID seems to have eaten my response, which is pretty much what I'd like to tell it to do)
The Hartman Collective promotes synergistic solutions to contemporary branding challenges in our culture.
Aren't those just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important?
Quite. I just thought Sky might enjoy some copy to promote his objectivist collective.
It's edgy, it's "in your face." You've heard the expression "let's get busy"? Well, this is a logo that gets "biz-zay!"
Even so, I think it needs a little more "attitude."
Can we increase the attitude, by, say, 15%?
It's all good. I stole that uncredited line from Los Simpsones. The circle is complete.
Whew. For a minute there, I thought you might be a consultant…
Anyone you uses "synergistic" in a web blurb must be hung by his paradigm until his 2.0 feet stop jerking.
Brother can you paradigm?
If he was a good libertarian, it would be "Hartman's Gulch," n'est pas?
Is this guy perhaps Mary Hartman's son?
Needs More Blimp.
Oh, the humanity!
Despite what Tolkien said, you can't get to middle earth on an eagle.
"L'eggo my logo!"
(Sorry, guys. I'm still kinda sore from yesterday.)
Skylar? What a fantastic(ally douchey) name. Who the hell names their kid Skylar?
Edit: Oh look I found a picture of him.
Who the hell names their kid Skylar?
Someone who wants to make sure he (I assume) gets his lunch money stolen & gets the shit beat out of him on a daily basis.
I figured it was rednecks who lost the k on the logo of their Buick Skylark.
Would not hit that. Even with Sarah Palin's dick.
His work – study job at Flathead Valley Community College (does that even exist?) is immune to confiscatory taxation…riiiight. I'm sure the folks at the IRS could use a good laugh…
Community College? That sounds pretty socialist. I thought Ron Paul was agin' public achoolin'
Maybe this is against the unwritten Snark Code here, but- it's a joke. That isn't really him.
Dude, don't fuck with the fourth wall! the very fabric of reality could be at risk.
http://www.fvcc.edu/
Kalispell, MT. In the photo he looks like he's taking a shit in the file room. Maybe that's his work-study job.
When this guy becomes a shooter Ron Paul will rue the day he became associated.
So the Zombies have already started crawling out of their mom's basements.
Hey, that logo looks just like the one over at Chucknorris.com.
Please, they aren't homeless campsites, they're Randian Collectives. You can tell the difference because the Collectives smell like FREEDUMB!
And weed; lots and lots of premium weed. also.
bRANDingronpaul ?
Is Nathaniel bRANDen involved in this?
Also note – no black. What does that signify?
The wish of the 25% of America's voters who he is courting?
Asked and answered, counselor.
His acceptance of his coming Stormfront Endorsement.
Donald Trump has the "blacks" vote all sewn up
According to Webster, logo is a bastardization of the Greek logos first used in 1972. Well 1972 is clearly decades before the average Pautard was born, so logo/logos both may as well be ancient Greek to them. With all that in mind are we trying to link Ron Paul with yer workaday Webster definition of logos: the divine wisdom manifest in the creation?
I mean I get that you can follow the good Dr. Ron and be nodding and upfisting while he is talking about stopping with the small warz everywhere all at the same time and being okay to hit the BC bud, but then suddenly he's sounding like the flip side of William Jennings Bryan's rant about crosses of gold, which is then followed by a melange of wacko ideas as he becomes totally consumed by the vapors.
Logo, logos, Legos, l'go my Eggos…
Also, the plural of Lego is Lego. Ron Paul knows all about interlocking blockheads.
Oh noes, and I didn't do it in all caps!!11! The following is from their web site and clearly when their attorneys get done with me it will be Devil's Island, not Gitmo for weejee.
• The LEGO brand name should always be written in capital letters
• LEGO must never be used as a generic term or in the plural or as a possessive pronoun, e.g. “LEGO’s”.
Isn't "logo" short for "logotype"?
1. a single piece of type or a single plate faced with a term (as the name of a newspaper or a trademark)
2. an identifying symbol (as for use in advertising)
Right. I was surprised & went back to check, and the 1st def Marion Webster pulled up is actually for the computer language, not the banding. Silly me. I was looking for the word origin, not the def, and saw the logos bit and ran with it. Had to click the noun #2 clickie to get to the logotype root.
Not the first time I've been a big stupid, and likely not the last. Thanks for covering my back V572.
It's time for Skylar Hartman to go Galt.
What's the other blue represent? And what about the orange used in the other logos on the Hartman Collective page? Is Ron Paul going to pick John Boehner as his running mate? Is there breaking news?
And the Lambda behind the Aquafresh Swoosh signifies SPAAARTAAAAAAAAA!!!!!@@@#!!!!
White for purity? Can one masturbate to the writings of Ayn Rand for most of one's life and still be considered pure?
Yes, as long as said Libertarian has never risked catching cooties by having sex with an actual other person.
Whoops. Troll alert. I just put you back to +1.
Thank you!
Ron Paul gets free design work? My tech startup could do with some of that… All my apps look like I designed them. Which I did. In conclusion: Hartman Collective: work for me. For free. Please?
White for purity, eh? Racist.
Is Ron Paul's new motto "Purity is our security"?
Ron Paul Newsletter, if you recall, warned us all of the "fleet footed" black men. Like OJ looking for the real killer, Ron Paul continues to look for the real author of that
OK, but to be fair, he was only worried about the blacks in the Navy there.
These are but the opening notes in the symphony that will soon come to be called "The Second March Of The Pauline* Hordes" . They may sound like wee tiny little Cheeto farts now, but wait until he gets his campaign into full swing. Then you will hear it, and you know what it will sound like then?
DEAFENING Cheeto farts!
————————————————-
*this entire comment would have been much funnier had I been able to use that other word for Ron Paul supporters, you know, the one that makes the Snowbilly mad. I somehow feel pressure not to, however. So let's make a deal, I'll use "Pauline Hordes" from now on, but you all will know what I really mean, Hhhhhnnngh?**
**It occurs to me that if you have to footnote a joke it may possibly not be funny in the first place. I should probably just give up for today.
Oh, I dunno. Calling 'em "The Marching Morons" works for me.
I see. being a human with lady parts = being mentally challenged. Or being compared to humans with lady parts = more humiliating than being called mentally challenged. Good to know.
Unless 'Pauline' is simply synonymous with 'Paulian'. Then, never mind.
I was thinking more alone the lines of Apologetics, actually, you know, the Pauline letters and so forth. It hadn't occurred to me that it was a woman's name. More research is clearly needed.
Incidentally, you must be visiting from Jezebel, are you not? Welcome, Gentleperson!
Not from Jezebel. They're not nearly irate and man-hatin' enough for me. Also, I'm rarely gentle.
Thanks for the explanation, though. Glad I won't have to drag you before the Feminist Tribunal. (This time!!!1!)
How many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?
THAT'S NOT FUNNY!
Might I suggest "Paulite"? Ooh – or "Paultist" that Paul + cultist thing might have legs …
I believe "Pauline" is an allusion to the letters of St. Paul, the first (and greatest) misogynistic author of the "Christian Era," thus representing also a subtle dig at the pretentiousness of the Paultards (I have no reluctance to use the potentially-offensive-to-Palin-the-presumptive-mother-of-the-syndromitically-afflicted-child-whose-name-we-dare-not-speak-but-which-rhymes-with-prig), and is not a feminization of the family name which it is mocking.
Thanks for straightening that out. Yes, he was quite the misogynist, wasn't he.
Actually, in a uncharacteristic bout of sensitivity, I'm trying to eliminate the "tard" suffix from my vocabulary. Not out of any concern for the Tundra Grifter, who should be soundly mocked at every opportunity, but for the sake of mentally challenged people and their friends and families.
It's hard though! There are so many examples of willful and inadvertent stupidity, and so few socially acceptable ways to abuse them.
I'll give up "fucktard" when they pry it from my cold dead vocal cords.
Paultard? Fucking losers? Ret@rded fuckfaces? Ret@rded fucking fuckfaces? I can never remember the politically correct term for racist scumbag sociopaths.
Paultarts? Unless that gets the feminist downthumb as well…
Anhyow, I've gotten away with "libertardian", so the filters aren't all that vigilant.
Republican infighting at its most exciting and thrilling. All's we need is Joe Leiberman to throw his hat into the ring now, and the excitement will make me just keel over.
I'm amazed any Repug could write a civil letter to Jack "Trig Insulter" Stuef without giving death threats etc.
PS – white on the logo no doubt signifies the "pure & precious bodily fluids" of Ron Paul….
The fear the . . . what shall I call them . . .Paulidiots (yeah, that's the ticket. Paul-idiots.) are going to bring trolls from far and wide to "our" the wonkette.
Shit. Turn off MSNBC NOW!
The Governor of Wisconsin doesn't like the collective logo idea, so the eagle will be subjected to a statewide no-fly zone.
OT: Ross Douthat really is an idiot, and he reveals what is secretly on his mind, he wants to be able to offer fealty to a powerful dictator: http://douthat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/in-pr...
You're mistaken, because as Frasier once said, "You don't understand. It's not the same as Dad being wrong, or your being wrong. I have a degree from Harvard. Whenever I'm wrong, the world makes a little less sense."
I've got a powerful dictator for him RIGHT HERE.
That Douthat, always on the cutting edge of political thought…pompous little jerk.
A libertarian collective consists of a bunch of loser guys, virgins in the 30's and 40's, each sitting in their own rooms at their computers. They post brilliant arguments on Reason.com and pat themselves on their own backs for their exceptionalism. Soon, however, they run out of Mountain Dew and pizza rolls. Having no jobs, they have no way to buy more so they are forced either to ask their mothers, once again, for money or to go on the dole.
Sometimes, they crash funerals.
And the dark blue in the text represents NEVER GOING TO BE FUCKING PRESIDENT
This should bring out the ire of the Paulidiots. Well done! I can't help but have the feeling that these people don't need the internets, the webtubes or anything else. These people are exactly like the losers when I was in college, sitting in the corner of the student union coffee shop and getting excited and doing their smug laugh at everyone else. Smirks on their acne complexioned faces, on their way back to the dorm to jerk off because no one, NO ONE would, for a minute, consider actually going out with them. Losers are losers, with or without the interwebs.
Yeah, what is this "Collective" crap? Ayn would never go for that. Pinko!
Young Skylar is a Christertaria…a Biblical objectio…one fucking confused kid.
"Designer, aspiring worship leader and Biblical teacher for the glory of God because of the cross of Christ."
OT
Will Riley be live blogging the Brits' Royal wedding with LimeyLizzie?
Can Skylar go with them?
Fucking brilliant idea – A+.
Ken – I know that the whole monarchy thing gives you indigestion but I think this live blog could be a winner.
Riley could wear his top hat and shout rude things at the aristocracy.
That swoosh is starting to look more and more like santorum.
Dammit, I liked Aquafresh…up till now…
I know just what you mean. If you try to keep Rick Santorum out of your mind, though, and only think of the definition, you'll find it's MUCH easier to brush.
Next, Paul and Romney will fight over who gets the last teaspoon of Metamucil.
Needs moar panic-induced defecating.
My college once hosted an anarchist convention. I'm guessing that's the same thing?
The Paultards are (down)fisting like crazy on these comments.
See, you just cold went ahead and used it. This is what I get for not reading all the comments before opening my big yap.
"Skylar Hartman" ??? Wasn't he the rich guy on Gilligan's Island?
That blue is definitely not true-blue American flag blue. I think it's been adulterated with…
AQUA BUDDHA!
"As previously noted, a special emphasis was added to the “A.” This is the main design element throughout the whole of the campaign which represents not only the political party which Ron Paul will run as, but first and foremost it represents America bound together with valor, purity and vigilance."
The political party which Ron Paul will run as? What? He's running representing the Asshole party? Is the A for "A Republican"?
"Many placed their faith and hope in a man who had offered much hope. Americans wanted something to believe in; something to hold onto in hopes they would be liberated from their worries and heartache only to be given a cold shoulder."
"Liberated from their worries and heartache"? What a fucking tool. You want somebody to cuddle with you, buy a fucking dog. Ron Paul sure as shit is not going to liberate you from your worries and heartache, either. If by some miracle he gets elected, he's going to be too busy destroying 200+ years of social democracy to drop by your house and personally give you a footjob or whatever.
Cripes. Somebody send this sad sack some Cranberry Stoli and the first three Sunny Day Real Estate albums already.
"Is the A for "A Republican"?
Made me laugh out loud. Let's just hope this kid will look back at this moment and be as embarrassed for himself as the rest of us are for him.
I am so glad my teenage writings are on paper so I can burn them and hope nobody remembers. Kids today are thoroughly screwed…evidence of their dumbassery are on the internet forever.
NEEDZ MOAR "HOPE". 3 times in two sentences is not enuf!
Dude, you go. Wanna hear more.
Asshat party?
I like the Ron Paul Deconstructed bus shelter http://www.hartmancollective.com/
I like the fact that underneath the "Students Vote Ron Paul" poster it says "Not final photo"–because he looks like the mid-Alzheimer's patient he truly is.
Check out the Red "A" on Hartman's Ron Paul logos… Where is his Adultery Certificate? And when does his campaign book, The Audacity of Stealing Hope, come out?
Okay, listen up: Is everyone watching the Last Word without Lawrence O'Donnell? No? Good. Don't. If you are, turn to ABC. They're doing shit about the Royal wedding.
Why? Just because. It has nothing to do with another okie being such an asshole it makes national news. No. Nothing. It didn't happen. Who you gonna' believe? Good old DustBowlBlues or the LSM? Quick! I think ABC's showing a drawing of Kate's dress with Haley's Comet in the background!
Oh noes! Rachael did a bit on it as well.
I'm delurking just to let y'all know that I'm upfisting your comments to offset the sad-pants downfisty babies who don't have the guts to actually post comments.
Also too I haven't been active on this site in almost three months (reading along, upfisting, just not commenting) and I now find that some 'Lead Paint' wingnut asshole is following me, since three weeks ago. Really? What is wrong with these fucking people? (That is a rhetorical question.)
He's following me, too. Little cowardly downfisting douche. (Him, not you!)
Who is he? I want to know if he's following me, which would make me feel really creepy.
Nice to be noticed, though.
Nice to know that I have the power enrage some idiot mouthbreather enough to motivate him to while away his time clicking the downfist button, while never quite being able to summon the balls to join in the wonkette fray.
Because, dumb as he is, he's smart enough to know he'd be eviscerated.
Does his gutlessness gnaw away at him, do you think, or is he just dead inside?
If you go to intensedebate.com and then click the 'following' link, it shows you who is following you.
As for who he is, here's a sample from this pindick:
"When they cut Medicare funding by $500 Billion, Obama and Dems killed many seniors. They exploit Gabby. Wankette bans diverse opinions."
And another:
"If New Orleans is the Chocolate City, then Bourbon Street is the Hershey Highway."
So, a liar and a racist. And a pindick. In other words, exactly what you would have expected. Throw in 'closet case,' cuz, really, what are the odds?
Also changes names every so often, then drops everyone he was following, then re-adds. He seems to believe that the automatic "RighWingAsshole is now following you" email will sap our will to be communists. He is not the breitest bart there ever was.
My, my. I'm just an occasional (though avid) Wonketteer, but I see that I, even harmless me, has a right-wing, wing-nut, mouth-breathing, diaper wetter for a follower. And according to IntenseDebate, my score with him is -75. Can that be right? I thought that I'd be in the triple digits negative by now. I'm going to have to post more.
And by the way, fuck you Lead Paint, or whatever your current name is. Upfists for everybody here.
I know one thing fer sure, Skylar has got to be a real hoot at parties!
I'm thinking that he may have another job as a reporter for Onion News Network.
I'd like to do an “in depth” with their anchor, you betcha!
Good thing Red White and Blue symbolizes all that stuff he says it does. An orange, green and pink logo wouldn't quite have the same flare to it.
Sacre bleu! Et rouge! Et blanc! Le Ron Paul, il est le grand rat de l'egout pluvial. Il est plein de miasmes putrides!
Pardon my (bad) French.
No self-respecting paultard would know a person who could be described as a "her". Vagina-Americans are unAmerican.
Shut up, find something to stick your dick in, and grow up. Pretty much what I wish my parents had had the sense to tell me at that age.
PURE HEARTY JUSTICE baby.
The Red White and Blue are going sideways. It's the Netherlands flag not French. Maybe he 's making a statement about the decriminalization of mar…wait…the blue is kinda light. Ohh, that's not the Netherlands flag it's the flag of Luxembourg. I have no idea what that means.
I thought purple signified hardness…
Way to go Wonkette.
You just pissed in someones Cornflakes.
Hope you feel better.
Beause we do.
I could have lived a long, happy life without knowing the red symbolizes Ron Paul's hardness.
Awww shit, y'all. It's going down. Old white men fight! The best kind of fights.
Skylar from the OC, eh? Why am I not surprised? Even the Republicans, down there, give their children hippie-dippy names.
Someone needs to be sued for one billion Ameros!
Awwww, I forgot how religously the Paultards read Wonkette (they think we call them "Paulties" hee hee!). Welcome, Paultards! This should be fun.
Has the article been corrected yet?
Wonkette has come a long way since '07

It's a mission for us word nerds. When we leave, the villagers often ask, "Who was that masked pedant?"
"They call him The Lone Stickler, son. He's a legend."
Seriously, are there any 'breit' barts?
There is a commercial advantage to catering to the sub-dull normal set – there are so many of them.
Upfisted to show I'm a 'really good sport'.
BTW, if you think feminists are humorless, try some men's rights activists on for size.
Pedantry, pederasty, whatever.
"fuckwit' not an adequate substitute?
Going cold turkey is hard, especially when these fuckta.. <cough> *fuckwits* are swarming around downfisting everybody.
I'm beginning to understand taking pride in negative p. Go for the triple digits, Uncle. You can do it, I believe in you!
No guarantees but I'll try to convert.
Snark aside, I saw Timothy Shriver on Colbert talking about this, and as much as it saddens me to lose the ability to append <that syllable> to any word for instant lulz, I reluctantly saw his point.
Besides, it's the willful stupidity, rather than involuntary impairment, that enrages me.
Also, I love, love, LOVE that song! Mr. McManus needs to get busy writing some more of those.
'Perzackly!
Meh I recommend ignoring the tar…. oops asshat.
Good catch! And I'll try to follow your advice.
I'll have you know that I first heard that in a Women's Studies class.
It was followed by "One to screw in the bulb and 8 CR group members to discuss how the act is inherently degrading."
The real test: saying "phallologocentrism" without snickering.
EDIT: men's rights groups are insufferable.
My favorite sexist joke (riddle):
What three things do you need on a desert island?
This almost got me beaten by pack of wild feminists. Of course, I would never have been dumb enough to tell it to THEM. I told it to a dumb guy, who told it to them. When they turned on him, he sang like a canary. (Imagine last phrase delivered by Cagney.)
