RUMORS ON THE INTERNETS

‘Woop-Woop! That’s the Sound of da Ayatollah!’

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
  • If you thought Marion Barry could dance, think again! Because Al Sharpton is nimble as a ballerina. [Michelle Malkin]
  • With all its student loans and Mongolian hordes of credit card debt, California is having a hard time paying the bills! But that hasn’t stopped the California State Legislature from jerkin’ the gherkin and debating into the wee hours about COW TAILS and other issues concerning cow anatomy, like, for example, why they have tails and we don’t? Sounds like a job for a new ad-hoc committee! Oh dear, Arnold Schwarzenegger IST SEHR ANGRY. [Hit & Run]
  • Andrew Sullivan, his keyboard still dipped in Hezbollah green, continues to blog for freedom, in his bathrobe. And just like everyone else who fights the Man, Andrew Sullivan listens to the hip-hop. Behold: the KRS-One of Iran. Woop-Woop! [Andrew Sullivan]
  • A few deeply concerned Republican lawmakers held an intervention for Michele Bachmann, because they were justifiably worried all the paint huffing was taking its toll. But who are you going to listen to, Michele? These Republican faggots, or Alex Jones? [HuffPost]
  • The other day we reported that Matt Yglesias was writing a blog about all the fun he was having reading Infinite Jest. Well looky here! The game is the same, but the rules have changed! [Read Infinite Jest Until Ken Layne's Book Is Published]

Barbara Boxer On Jim Inhofe: He Has A Vagina

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Wonkette liberal junk mail target operative “Rita” sends us this scan of “a postcard I got from Barbara Boxer thanking California voters for their support.” We don’t really know where the “thanking” part is — do they make two-sided paper these days? — all we see is Barbara Boxer calling her arch enemy Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe a woman. Even worse, a former woman. Is Barbara Boxer trying to tell us something?

GORILLAS IN THE MIST

Schwarzenegger Congratulates Rush Limbaugh For Slimming Down To 650 Pounds

Thursday, May 28th, 2009


California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger simply does not care for the right-wing fatso losers who now dominate the GOP. Rush Limbaugh has probably already revoked Arnold’s party membership. Soon the entire Republican party will consist of this bloated buffoon on the AM radio and the commenters at Free Republic. And Schwarzenegger will be the “green energy czar” or whatever in the Obama Administration, the end. [CNN]

THE PARTY OF NO

Californians Vote Against Almost Everything

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Sorry, Arnold.Oh well here is a shocker: Nobody in California had the time, inclination, or detailed budgetary expertise to make a good ruling on the many ballot measures up for approval yesterday, so instead they voted “no” on everything except a legislative salary freeze and then they went to In-n-Out Burger for a double double.

CRIME WAVE

Jerry Brown: Somebody Stole My Tires!

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine.
Oh noes for California attorney general Jerry Brown — yes the same one who was governor of California, in the 1970s, and fought (Bill) Clinton all the way to the convention for the ‘92 nomination. Somebody stole two of the wheels off his government car! Or maybe just the tires. Anyway, tragedy. Or not! He somehow got new tires for his government car. He is running for governor again, too. You can support his candidacy, somehow, by clicking something on his Facebook page. [Facebook]
