OMG Obama and Some Other Dudes Drank Beers On the TeeVee

Friday, July 31st, 2009


What is this? It’s the tragic result of 5,000 White House photographers with old-fashioned “click-y cameras” taking 5,000,000 pictures of the president and vice president (both in shirtsleeves) and the stars of the new Cambridge reality teevee show, No Motherfucker You Cannot Arrest Me In My Fucking House I Am a Harvard Professor …. Oh So Just Step Outside For a Moment? MORE »


KILL THE INTERNET

Dumb Facebook Comments On Current Events=No Jerb

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

This is an example of a dumb thing.Here is a tip regarding your old friend The Facebook: if you are employed, by anyone, do not use it. It will get you fired. This is especially true if you work in politics or serve in any political-type role, such as deputy press secretary to Manhattan borough president Scott Stringer. MORE »


INSURANCE REMAINS EXPENSIVE

Friday, July 24th, 2009
  • HOUSE TURNS INTO RACIST LYING BLOODBATH FROM HELL: What a great last graf in this New York Times write-up of the hot mess between House Democrats today: “Racial overtones also appeared to creep into the intraparty dispute. One African-American Democrat pointed out that the seven Blue Dogs who were holding up the bill in the Energy and Commerce Committee were ‘a nondiverse group’ of white men.” Why did Barack Obama say this? [NYT]

WELL THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG

  • SKIP GATES CLEARED OF CHARGES OF LOUDMOUTHING TO COPS: “Disorderly conduct charges filed against one of the nation’s pre-eminent African-American scholars have been dropped, local media reported on Tuesday.” And for all you people who have been saying, “Well maybe Gates was just being an abrasive dick to the police and he should know better,” you are encouraged to read his lawyer’s version of events.

HEADS WILL ROLL

New Details On Gates Arrest Make *Slightly* More Sense

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

But he was neither cat nor burglar.One detail in the “famous Harvard professor whom even non-academics may have seen on that TV special with Oprah looked like scary intruder to neighbor” story that did not make sense was that part where the neighbor — the lady who called the cops was a neighbor — did not recognize the famous Harvard professor trying to get into his own house. Well, now we have our answer: sounds like the scary intruder she spotted may have been his cab driver. MORE »


THE END OF RACISM

Famous Harvard Intellectual Arrested In Connection With Attempting To Enter His House

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Looks like a robber, right?The very serene and affable Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested Thursday after a lady called the cops in the middle of the day, reporting that she saw a man apparently trying to break into a nearby house. MORE »


REPUBLICANS IN THE NEWS

Yet Again, Email + Republican Elected Officials = Repulsive Racism

Friday, July 17th, 2009

What? A watermelon farm is just naturally hilarious! Not racist at all!!Hey, we’ve gone all week without some fuckface old Republican getting caught sending hateful racist email about the Obamas. Maybe racism really is on the wane, in America. Maybe old white GOP officials have finally realized it’s not super funny to send hilarious jokes about the coloreds, to everybody, about the president. Ha, right. The latest batch of foul, blatant racism comes from “City Councilman Gary Frago,” in some place near Merced, California. And he’s not sorry, either! “I’m not the only one that does it,” Frago told the Merced Sun-Star. Yeah, we’ve noticed. MORE »


UHH ...

Fox & Friends Segment On Reducing Dementia Risks Naturally Turns Into 19th Century-Style Racial Theory Advertorial

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade made a terrible buffoon of himself on the television this morning! You know why the Olds get Dementia and Alzheimer’s, in America? This is why: “We are — we keep marrying other species and other ethnics and other … See, the problem is the Swedes have pure genes. Because they marry other Swedes …. Fins marry other Fins, so they have a pure society.” Meaning: Ronald Reagan was a mulatto. [Salon, Gawker]


WE BLAME THE UIGHURS

Uighur Riots In Northwest China Pose Grave Domestic Security Threat To Bermuda, Where There Are Four Uighurs

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Known lamer Hu Jintao, the President of China, had to cut short his stay at the boring, disorganized Italian G8 kegger today so as to “deal with” deadly riots in his country’s northwest Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, boo. (At least that’s his excuse; he just didn’t want to answer gay Europe’s treehugger questions about the new coal-fired power plants he opens every week — awkward!) 156 people have died in this latest bout of Uighur-Han Chinese violence centered in the city Urumqi, which is like China’s Seattle. So. Should Bermudans be worried that the four released Uighurs from Guantanamo Bay will kill them all? Violent deathbot Andy McCarthy of the National Review weighs in! MORE »


HE WANTED TO ABORT OBAMA!

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
  • NEW INSANE NIXON TAPES: Uh oh, the National Archives has released another 150 hours of tape from the Nixon Administration! THESE ARE ALWAYS INSPIRING. What did he think about abortion hmm? “‘There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white,’ he told an aide, before adding: ‘Or a rape.’” Eh, rape is questionable; best to just save it for the mulattoes. [NYT]

RUSTY'S COMEDY FACEBOOK STYLINGS

Gorilla Joker Apologizes, Again, For Racist Remarks

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Second verse, same as the first.It’s been such a fun week for the South Carolina GOP, with all the comedy about gorillas and aspirins! But now it must come to an end because the humorless nancies of the Far Left have demanded a more sincere apology from Rusty DePass, the Republican operative who explained his crack about “Michelle Obama’s ancestor” by pointing out that she believed in evolution or something.
