Some South Carolina GOP Faction CENSURES Lindsey Graham

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Beloved South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is gay for three things: Joe Lieberman, John McCain, and acting like a responsible adult once every year or so, to no avail. It is for Lindsey Graham’s latest bout with his third gayness that the Charleston County GOP has now censured him, which is the political term for “doing nothing of any value.” MORE »

Blago: Hey Harry Reid, I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU To Not Seat A Nice Old Black Man [UPDATE]

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Blago, he’s good today. He set up this press conference to announce his surprise Senate pick, and here he is, dressed to the nines, punctual, grinning, even rattling off a few well-turned sentences in Mexican. He knows he’s politically outmaneuvered Harry Reid, which is perhaps the easiest achievement known to man, but still: “Blagojevich’s news conference came less than an hour after U.S. Senate Democratic leadership issued a statement saying the Senate will not seat anyone the governor chooses to fill Illinois’ vacant Senate post.” O RLY, Democratic leadership? You’re going to REFUSE this nice, experienced, elderly black gentleman a legally valid seat in the Senate? Ha ha, no you won’t! MORE »

Hey Fox News, Is This More Of That Satire We’ve Been Hearing About?

Monday, July 21st, 2008

What is dumb Fox News doing now, hmm? It appears they aired a segment over the weekend called “Will High Gas Prices Cost Your Kids Their Education?” This, presumably, was to explain this secret classified report: If you have to spend more money on one thing, there is less money to spend on another thing. Fox News illegally leaked this homeland security information and, in doing so, spelled “education” as “eductaion.” We hope that this was not meant as satire — which the New Yorker magazine invented only last week and now look, IT’S EVERYWHERE — because a child’s education is no laughing matter. The thought of children being so illiterate that they cannot spell a common, phonetic word… well, just imagine living in a country of adult retards! [YouTube via Think Progress]

Military Gay Bomb Project Even Less Successful Than Controversial ‘Soy Bomb’

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Would you believe a $40 million black budget? - WonketteAs if further proof was needed that the military was taking most of its strategic cues from shitty ’80s comedies and possibly Electric Six songs, Air Force records recently uncovered by Berkeley’s Sunshine Project reveal the existence of a project dedicated to developing a weapon that will turn our enemies gay, and irresistible.
