Hey, so, slow news month! Nothing much happening except the normal earthquakes and Iraqi elections and, of course, your usual totally innocent racist email about the Obamas which was thoughtlessly forwarded by some douche who just thought he was having some lighthearted fun, talking about monkeys and black people. This one comes from the CEO [...]
Like every other gay dingbat on this godforsaken planet, Harold Ford Junior has a dumb book chronicling his Life coming out in the near future — replete with the “forward-looking/confident gaze into the heavens with cloud backdrop” provisional cover. It comes out one week before the New York senatorial primary election, in September, OH HO [...]
Ugh, Harold Ford Jr. Remember this guy? Lost his senate bid in Tennessee because of the terrible racist ad that suggested he spent all his free time cavorting nude with loose white women, and then became head of the DLC, at which point everybody realized it was maybe not so bad he had not become [...]
The sheeple will believe anything: “The Christmas tree at the [Tennessee] state Capitol will be replaced after being toppled by high winds overnight. The blue spruce, which had stood on Charlotte Avenue between the Capitol and Legislative Plaza, fell sometime before 4 a.m., snapping off the top, said Kenny Crowson, facilities supervisor at the Capitol.” [...]
Oh goodie, it’s another edition of “minor Southern political figures typing on the Internet about Barack Obama.” The thick head of hair over here, Mayor Russell Wiseman of Memphis suburb Arlington, got all hot and bothered on his Facebook the other night during the death speech: “Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the [...]
Huzzah for the Can-Do spirit of Americans, who continue to just pile on the pounds despite the nation’s crushed economy. Turns out you don’t need much money to become obese! And without jobs, Americans have more time than ever to sit in front of teevee eating another bucket of corn-syrup taco-ball cheezey-poop pasta-bowl Grease Dipperz™. [...]
Magic prize goes to anybody who can figure out what these people are even protesting.
Wonkette drive-by operative “Gerogia” from Tessennee sends this photo and writes: “AIG was founded in Nashville. I live near the HQ in Nashville. A few days after the bonus debacle they blacked out the AIG logo. On my way to the gym last week I was startled by this new sign. I guess they renamed [...]
Here’s video of the Democrats and their evil moderate Republican boyfriend seizing power from the wingnuts yesterday. Look at poor “Jason Mumpower” sob all over his family Bible and laugh, meanly. [Balloon Juice]
Ha ha, so it took the Republicans until now, somehow, to take control of the Tennessee General Assembly for the first time since Reconstruction, and their agenda includes such long-awaited items as making all Muslims die, making Intelligent Design the actual state religion, and then making all, uh, Hindus die or something, if there’s time!

Boys and girls, it’s a Thanksgiving miracle — six days early! Our beloved Fred Thompson, the languid, pedicured Southern dandy who made a very sleepy run at the Presidency for about two weeks before returning to his cognacs and backgammon games and expensive Italian colognes, has surfaced again! Even better, he has surfaced to announce [...]
