July 4 Recipe: Freedom Fries & Bald Eagle Pie!

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

America’s back on track, everyone! The Bush Administration says our nation’s precious American Bald Eagles are no longer endangered, so open fire! Sadly, the once-proud eagles have turned out to be like most Americans — frightened, stupid, exiled to the suburbs and knocked to the ground:

A neighbor, Patti Schuman, said she returned home from dinner with her husband 15 months ago to find a frightened fledgling, with a four-foot wingspan, cowering by their front door after falling — or being pushed — from its nest.

“It hunkered down in a corner, next to a plant,” until experts brought it back near the nest, Ms. Schuman said.

Yes, young symbol of our country, just cower behind a fucking houseplant and wait for the “experts” to save you. USA USA USA!

Happy Loyalty Day, Fascists!

Where have I been? Got any what? Who have I seen? I spy a May queen, You were miles above me - WonketteHey everybody, it’s not May Day after all! Congress took care of that homosexuality back in 1958. It’s crazy that so many of America’s Precious Freedoms weren’t made up by psychotic red baiters until the ’50s, yet it’s totally true! For instance, there was no mention of the gods in the jingoistic “Pledge of Allegiance” until 1954, when the McCarthyites decided to add “under God” to the already idiotic madrassa chant.

Learn why you feel all loyal and sticky today, after the loyalty jump.
