Arlen Specter can talk the Democrat talk, but can he walk the Democrat walk? Apparently yes, 97% of the time. Impressive. But will Arlen still be able to walk that well, after Barack Obama breaks his leg? Unlikely. [AMERICAblog]
California is poor. How poor? Panning-for-gold-at-Sutter’s-Mill poor. But they’re not the first state to issue IOUs written on toilet paper! During the roaring ’30s, a lot of states had their own special peso-currency. [Hit & Run]
Huzzah for the Golden State, where crazed prisoners will soon wander freely and the poor will wrestle for rat crumbs and all the parks will be closed and all the counties will be robbed of various monies and the GOP threatens to wreck even thisrotten deal, because there is still a chance to make things even worse. Feeling smug out there, rest of America? Don’t. You’re next. MORE »
The happy rich people of La Jolla, California awoke Sunday morning to find many 40-lb. live squid flopping and squirming on the fancy beach. This horror show immediately followed a 4.0 earthquake 19 miles off the coast. Why did Nobama do this to us? Can the answer be found in a VERY SUSPICIOUS COMMENT on this San Francisco news website?

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]
Hey nerds how much do you love NBA Finals season, hmmm? Feast your eyes on this cute thing, which involves two political ladies trash-talking over their basketball teams. Maxine Waters won’t even shake her friend’s hand, that is how serious she is about this dispute. [The YouTube]
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?
Here is our new favorite musical duo, “Garfunkel and Oates,” with their chilling song about the slippery slope (and beak) of Legal Gay Marriage, when we all just start cold fuckin’ the ducks. [Garfunkel & Oates]
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]

There is a crazy bald dude on CNBC, and he is going super-double crazy. And here, introducing this CNBC clip of insanity, is a guy in California who is … driving and doing a YouTube video at the same time, about how Californians will soon be sent to Concentration Camps. So, pack a suitcase and drive around! Let’s see some more of this wacky CNBC weirdo, Jeff Macke. MORE »
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.
