HAXORZ Leave Dumb Message On Electronic Road Sign In Virginia

Friday, June 19th, 2009

It's 'Fuck Taco Night,' hooray!
Well, somebody thought it was necessary to blur out the naughty bits from this picture of the Virginia road sign attacked by Electronic Haxorz, so we have to guess what the strange message is supposed to mean … something about a secret couplet written in lemon juice on the back of the Stephen Colbert painting in the National Portrait Gallery, where bloated albino Newt Gingrich is dead and spreadeagled in the shape of David Vitter, but the diaper is on his face? Right? MORE »

AMERICA'S FORGOTTEN ELECTION

Virginia Is For Someone Named ‘R. Creigh Deeds,’ McAuliffe Officially a Loser Again

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Democratic rum-bag and Clinton-era haircut Terry McAuliffe has lost his dumb race to be the Dem nominee for Virginia governor. Nate Silver, the human abacus, called it for somebody named “R. Creigh Deeds” a while ago, and now the rest of the Political Media are repeating it: Deeds will win by some large ratio. MORE »

Nate Silver Calls It For Deeds; McAuliffe Is New Howard Dean

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Terry on better daysNate Silver and the nerdlingtons at FiveThirtyEight are liveblogging the Virginia election results (which are hidden and secret) and have called it, meaning it is officially over, by law: “7:45 EDT [Nate]: OK, the 538 decision desk is calling this one for R. Creigh Deeds. Almost half the vote is in, and although we’re a little bit light on turnout from areas like Richmond, neither Moran nor McAuliffe is doing anywhere near as well as they’d need to to make up for Deeds’ large advantage. It’s really a battle for second place at this point.” MORE, Silver, MUSH MUSH! MORE »

DISENFRANCHISED VIRGINIA INSECTS

Jim Newell Told This Guy To Vote For Creigh Deeds

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Nosquito.Hmm, what is this mysterious image? Is it the famous Flesh Monster of Crystal City, lumbering toward an empty polling location? Nope it is just the wrist of friendly tipster “Ben H.,” who was assaulted by a giant mosquito on the way to the polls. “A huge DC swamp mosquito drank like 2 pints of my blood — maybe he wanted to vote too? — I tried to take his picture but as you can see from my bugless wrist there he flew away when I tried.” This is a metaphor, of course, for America.

'READING IS FUN'

Terry McAuliffe Has Created His Masterpiece

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Your other editor Sara wrote earlier about how every governor candidate in Virginia has taken a shine to this hilarious & false idea that prison officials closely monitor third-grade test scores to determine how many jails they’ll need for the Dumbs in 15 years. But only Terry McAuliffe went ahead and made it into an insane teevee advertisement! The final product (which your male associate editor wrote about this morning at length for his NBC racketeering gig) proved to be McAuliffe’s most twisted, hilarious failed attempt at pretending to be a real human being yet, in a life and campaign defined by such attempts. “Pre-k now or prison later!” Nice one, sociopath!

GROSS

Ralph Nader Says Terry McAuliffe ‘Slipperier Than an Eel In Olive Oil’

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Unsafe with any words.Republican operative Ralph Nader is always plotting against the Democrats, so now he’s back with the explosive charges that slimy rum-swigging scam artist Terry McAuliffe offered the Nader campaign some money — maybe fifty bucks? — to stay out of tough states in the 2004 presidential election. And how’d that work out? Well, the Democrats lost, though not because of Nader. (Hint: IT WAS KERRY & EDWARDS’ FAULT, FOR BEING AWFUL.) And now Terry’s running for governor of Virginia, what will happen?! MORE »
