Apparently last year’s Koran-burn-threatening pastor Terry Jones decided he wasn’t getting enough attention, so last week he actually did go through with burning itself. Normally a pastor saying hateful things who only has a half dozen or so followers would be ignored, but because we’ve been graced with a thing called the modern news media, [...]
Rick Santorum is a half-been loser, but because he was once a U.S. senator, he is allowed to run for president of the United States and be taken somewhat seriously. Unfortunately for Santorum, he’s not even very popular these days with the conservative base, who once loved him but have since morphed into prickly Teabaggers. [...]
Hey! We stuck out a finger and suddenly it was covered with yet another crap reaction to this shooting: Congressman Bob Brady (D-PA) has decided to make it illegal to put crosshairs on a map like Sarah Palin’s PAC did. He says he’s introducing legislation to make it a federal crime “for a person to [...]
Judith Miller was once an important war reporter person at The New York Times, but then she was sent to jail. But not for writing up fake stories about weapons of mass destruction that helped the Bush administration wage an illegal war! No, it was because she protected Scooter Libby’s telling her the name of [...]
RedState has come up with a fun, new, very academic policy idea: Let’s stop letting Muslims immigrate here! That will solve all of the problems on the problems list, such as economy and fetus death. “By now it is evident to all but the most brassbound liberals, incorrigible in their refusal to face hard facts, [...]
What is it with this strange phenomenon of Teabagger candidates saying the separation of church and state is not covered in the First Amendment? According to Buck, the Constitution says the government cannot “sanction” a religion, but that doesn’t mean church and state have to be “separate.” Huh? Do you really want Kenyan King Obama [...]
Staying true to her background as a character from a 1990s teevee show, Christine O’Donnell was in her state today talking about teaching creationism in schools, because she wants children to have the math and science skills to get jobs in that emerging Jesus Science industry. Chris Coons was here too, doing the old “exasperated [...]
Apparently SOME lawyers would rather recite pledges of allegiance to MUSLIM NOODLE SOUP than THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, a fact that does not sit well with patriot Mississippi Chancery Court Judge Talmadge Littlejohn, who threw attorney Danny Lampley in jail yesterday for failing to recite the Pledge in court. This is rather illegal for [...]
Wonkette operative “Evan B.” writes: “The debate over the planned mosque at Ground Zero seems a bit retarded to me; I work directly between the planned mosque and a mosque that has existed before 9/11 and continues to operate to this day. The existing mosque and the proposed mosque are probably 800 feet apart; one [...]
CNN’s Experts have done it again: they have split another very difficult difference! You say the First Amendment says this, but I say free speech makes me sad sometimes! Who is more right? No one, duh! 50-50 FOREVER! PERFECT COMPLACENCY! EVERYBODY IS RIGHT AND WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING, FA LA LA LA LA!
Mike Huckabee has always seemed like a nice enough fellow, which is strange, because he also wants us all to shoot each other! Here he argues that if Iranian lady Neda had had a gun, she would’ve been able to shoot all of those mean people first, meaning… [some sort of segue, while laughing]… the [...]
