Come gather 'round ye olde interweb appliance, Wonkers, and share the joy of today's Comment O' the Day, chosen carefully from all the comments we happened to look at! In this morning's post on the geniuses of Open Carry Texas getting a bit of a scolding from the NRA, we found this gem from Treasured Wonkette Commenter "ingloriousbytch," who put it quite succinctly:
Congrats Open Carry! You've officially become the NAMBLA of the gun movement!
We were thinking something along similar lines, like they are to the Second Amendment what Larry Flynt is to the First, but frankly, "ingloriousbytch" nailed it. Congratulations! A donation in your name has been made to The Human Fund!
Our runners up, from the same thread: "MissNancyPriss" takes the People's Choice award for this question about the accompanying photo:
Does she have TWO babies, or is that one very wide baby with two different shoes?
It being Texas, we see no reason to take the photo caption saying the woman was holding "twins" at face value.
And also a runner-up prize to "ChillBill" for this:
In related news, Al Qaeda just issued a statement condemning The Taliban's use of suicide bombers.
To collect your prizes, just send a $50 "processing fee" to Yr. Wonkette.
Also, this is now your Overnight Open Thread. Talk about things, and stuff.
Your Comment Of The Day Is Short And Oh So Sweet
