Sarah Palin: Which Black President Destroyed Our Jesus Coins?

Monday, November 9th, 2009

No one was allowed to record or write anything about Sarah Palin’s big speech Friday night, but guess what, that didn’t matter. Politico’s Jonathan Martin “snuck in” and reported blood and heads rolling, everywhere, an actual depiction of Hell.

Paultard Money Seized in Raid!

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Probably because they went to the bank and specifically asked for the shiny new U.S. coins; people will apparently run out and buy whatever new coin gets made, in hopes that it will be fucked up and they can sell it on eBay for $300.

And that’s sort of what happened to our treasure-hunting couple, who we’ll meet after the jump.

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

Our Tastiest First Lady - WonketteThe US Mint, having already ensured that someday we will handle a dollar coin emblazoned with the face of Gerald Ford, is now giving in to whiny bleeding-heart types by putting all the Presidents’ wives on some coins. Half-ounce gold coins of no denomination that will not circulate. Fun fact: MORE »
