Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

How stupid are these people?

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

We will not go back.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Everybody saw this coming.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

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

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Both sides now

David Broder says the stimulus package must have “the best thinking that’s available in both parties”.

I wonder if this is the kind of thing he’s talking about:

You’d think Joe the Plumber’s 15 minutes would be up by now. But , no, after a stint as a correspondent in Israel, he took his act to Capitol Hill today.

“I don’t believe there’s two sides to every story. It’s black and white,” Wurzelbacher explained. “There’s right and wrong.”

One thing that needs to be done, he said, is killing this stimulus package, because it’s just another example of “American government” — Republicans and Democrats — “kicking our butts left and right.” He also called it welfare.

Toys, today. Tomorrow, everything else.

Debbie Schlussel has uncovered a shocking Islamic plot to indoctrinate our children by programming children’s toys to say “Islam is the light”.

I blame Clinton for the jihadist baby doll and Obama for the jihadist Nintendo game.

What’s scary is that this all part of a larger pattern, one that Obama has yet to stamp out despite having already been in office 13 days:

  • Remember in 1998 when parents all across the United States had hissy-fits because they really, truly believed their children’s Teletubby dolls were saying “Faggot, faggot, bite my butt“?
  • And how about the California woman who threatened a lawsuit in 2000 after convincing herself that a Teletubby doll was telling her child, “I got a gun, I got a gun! Run away, run away!“
  • Or the woman who complained in 2006 that a Little Mermaid doll called her daughter “a slut.”
  • Or the parent who claimed in early 2008 that a Tickle Me Elmo doll had made death threats against her son?

This chilling video shows that Satanists have gotten in on the act too:

Update: Libarbarian notices something even more disturbing. The manufacturer claims:

The sounds are publicly available for license. It is a recording of a 5 month old baby babbling non-intelligible phrases.

That means the jihadists have successfully recruited an army of “babbling” five month old sleeper agents. Don’t forget: it was five months ago, almost to the very day, that Obama was elected. Makes you wonder.

Taking a break from something I am working on, so I thought I would work my way through the folder full of pet pics. Our canine friends have been getting the shaft lately, so here are some pooches:

Claim your dogs, readers.

Finally, an encore performance for Boomhauer, last seen sound asleep on his person’s computer:

I still have about 45 pics left to get up, so if yours has not been up yet, there is still hope. Keep sending ’em in.

When Black Friday comes

As Politico says, this has been the toughest week for Obama yet. The Daschle withdrawl (which I’m glad to see) will be discussed endlessly for the next 68 hours or so. And we’ll see another two days of approving coverage of the McCain-Wurzelbacher anti-stimulus jihad.

But Friday morning, there’s going to be a very scary jobs report. Some predict unemployment will hit 8%. A seven figure loss of jobs is not out of the question.

It will be interesting to see what they make of this on Morning Ho. I predict at least a five minute interruption in their analysis of Obama’s supposed comments on Jessica Simpson.

Am I being too optimistic?

Update: My economics guru predicts only 700K job losses, mostly because there’s really only three weeks of firing to be done in January (the first week is vacation). Here’s his full analysis after the break, if anyone is interested.

TPM:

Nancy Killefer, who failed for a year and a half to pay employment taxes on household help, has withdrawn her candidacy to be the first chief performance officer for the federal government, the White House said Tuesday.

Killefer was the second major Obama administration nominee to withdraw and the third to have tax problems complicate their nomination after President Barack Obama announced their selection.

Take it away, Daily Show:

Seriously- we were confronted with story after story about how the Obama team had the most “intrusive application ever.” Did it not ask them if they had paid their damned taxes?
