SUPER BOWL OF RETARDATION

Maybe Waiting In A Thousand-Person Line To Get Into A House Office Building Should Be The Time To Realize, ‘What Am I Even Doing?”

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

A top secret operative sends us this video of the line of folks looking to get into Longworth, which is super lengthy. Clearly the guards are ACORN thugs trying to slow down the security process, the bastards. But hey there’s another House office building right across the street, so they will just run back and forth between the two buildings all day trying to find the shortest lines, as one would do at the supermarket check-out.

Your Mission: Stop Congressmen From Abusing Multimedia

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Hey kids, are you all enjoying the new virtual computer adventure game on the computer, “Carried Interest Adventure”? Republican Rep.

We didn’t “complete the adventure,” as they say, but we’re pretty sure it ends with a couple of furries in the Longworth building men’s room going YIFF YIFF.
