Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

The lights are all blinking red.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Books are my comfort food!

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

    Yay — it played at the linked website. That’s too funny. If I had one of those, I’d be heading over to the Baptist church this Sunday for some great giggles.

    There’s some joke there about a weapon of ass destruction.

    Well, we know what porn you’ve been watching. Wait, did I reveal something about myself as well? Dammit!

    Curse my detachable penis, always getting into trouble.

    Thanks, just spit menudo about 18 feet onto laptop, couch, and two cats. And that stuff is sticky.

    BTW, can you send me a picture?

    Oh. You were talking about the video, Krista. Got it!

    Watch out for those rotors. Yeowch!

    You spit menudo across the room? Say what?

    Menudo is TZCode for “box of twinkies”

    Andrew – Menudo is tripe soup, which is also is an apt description of their musical stylings.

    I think I speak for everyone when I say: how do I get one of those flying penises???!!!???

    I think that video gives new meaning to the phrase “Bishop to E4”

    I think this incident is based on this:

    A virtual-world interview with Anshe Chung, Second Life’s best-known real-estate magnate and self-proclaimed millionaire, was marred this week by swarms of wriggling penises. According to interviewer Daniel Terdiman (and corroborated by Something Awful’s Chris “Petey” Peterson), Chung’s interview on Monday was disrupted for 15 minutes, prompting a retreat to Chung’s own land, where the attack reportedly continued, crashing the hosting virtual-world server for that specific region.

    And yes, I googled “flying penis second life attack”

    The spooks in Fort Meade are going to have a blast trying to figure that one out.

    If only someone had done that at one of Larry Craig’s press conferences.

    If only.

    Yeah, I saw this linked elsewhere, and I didn’t even bother clicking on it at that time because I assumed it was another Second Life thing.

    I like the part when the guy jumps up, bats it out of the air, and then just coolly walks away.

    How do you say Cock Block in Russian?

    Actually, I was wondering what the hell is wrong with those people. First they looked highly agitated (Wang of Mass Destruction at 10 o’clock!) then most of them looked annoyed and finally there’s that one old guy peering over the table like he’s not quite sure what he’s seeing.

    I’m pretty sure it’s a rule that if you’re in a room when an air borne schlong starts zooming around, you have to laugh until you suffer brain damage.

    Last week or so, I made a mistake in the comments here where I confused Mark Salter with Mark McKinnon and asked why he hadn’t quit the McCain campaign as he promised to do if Obama was the nominee.

    Anyway, I thought it fair to acknowledge that, in fact, Mark McKinnon has now kept his promise. Kos reports: Mark McKinnon quits McCain campaign.

    Very gracious of him.

    No that isn’t even close to the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. This, for instance, is considerably weirder. (Not work safe! Not brain safe! Seriously, do not click on this link if bodymods squick you at all.)

    No refs to Austin Powers yet?

    That happens at least once a day to me. Sometimes they come in waves, dozens of them. I could’ve sworn one of them had Hillary’s face…. Damn thing went straight for my ear.

    I liked some of the comments at Gizmodo:

    Yeah Yeah… It’s all fun and games till someone gets an eye poked out…

    and

    Kasparov could have handled this himself – no one in history had destroyed more bishops than that guy.

    and

    and if it was a flying vagina i think they wouldn’t be so quick to fwap it down.

    Okay, now that’s something you don’t see every day. Or wish to. But then I’m not Republican. Or Russian.

    How long before one of our brilliant family values warriors takes this concept to greater depths? Of course improved with more powerful motor. Can just about see a line in a future report…Personal Effects: one wedding band; one big-ass, nitro fuel injected flying dildo.

    Not a likely scenario. I doubt all that plus two wetsuits would fit in an overhead compartment.

    The vid won’t work for me either. I’ve tried it at my home pc and my work mac. Odd.

    Alternate link for those aching for their fix of mechanized plastic flying dick.

    Much better link. Including this still picture providing a clear shot of the HeliPenis. Sure to be at the top of this year’s Xmas wish list for the massive Foley/Haggard wing of the Pub party.

    Finally saw the vid on a search on youtube. Laughed until snot came out of my nose.

    Saw a comment that said basically, you stupids in the west missed the symbolism, the flying cock means Kasparov sucks corporate Western cock.

    Well, of course the “helicocker” was political commentary, but it makes sense that it’s a “Kasparov sucks western cock” message. It was a radio-controlled flying cock, after all (the radio control implying technology, UAV, and the suggestion of having a puppet-master controller). Of course it was a perfect symbol. And it was funny as hell, a gadfly-as-cock buzzing annoyingly, hovering about a pol like an aura of degeneracy made visible. If ever there were truth in advertising… Fucking brilliant.

    On another note, I was aware of the possible security threat to Kasparov (or any political figure) by the radio controlled prank. There could be far worse things to steer over someone’s head than an ersatz penis.
