More evidence that ethanol is a scam, "green"-wise. Unfortunately, politicians need Iowa, so nothing will ever be done about it.

So, wait... the "conservatives" are defending the "extremists?" Tart with more on the complete lack of understanding the nutzoids have, irony-wise. Remember "if you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about?" Hey, wingnuts: Suck. On. That.

Tbogg, in his own inimitable way, does a number on the wingnut umbrage. Also, he mercilessly mocks the teabaggers. And more.

Obama - kicking pirate ass since 2/19/09.

And speaking of pirates - EPIC FAIL by Newt et al. on Obama's handling of the rescue.

DAMN I love that video. Just think about this: these fuckheads wanted the captain dead. They don't give a shit about "life" in any form; they're just out for political gain.

Yes, tax the fuck out of soda.

Come on Bobby, what's it gonna be? You fuck.

More tea-bagging goodness. "If you are planning simultaneous teabagging all around the country, you're going to need a Dick Armey." *headdesk*

Iowa Republicans - not so familiar with the constitution, federal or state.

Palin's nominee for Alaska Attorney General - in favor of rape. And of course bigoted in many other ways.

Lies, damn lies and Ari Fleischer

Fuck Harry Reid. Better Democrats, please.

Goldman Sachs - their numbers are all bullshit.

Twitter has a raison d'ĂȘtre

This made my week, and it's only Tuesday.

Missing link

Forgot this in the linkdump. Posnanski with a great post on Tiger, the Masters, his early days in the sportswriting business, and being assigned to the Augusta despite knowing nothing about golf.

Teabagging!!!

Rachel Maddow does her best...



I couldn't have made it through that. "Who wouldn't want to teabag John McCain?" OMFSM.


And speaking of tea parties, this is really the kind of wingnut we're dealing with.

Woman: [Shouts] “Burn the books!” [applause]

Man: “I don’t think you were serious about that, were you?”

Woman: “I am too.”

Man: “Burn all the books?!”

Woman: “The ones in college, those, those brainwashing books.”

Man: “[laughs] Brainwashing books?”

Woman: “Yes.”

Man: “Which ones are those?”

Woman: “Like, the evolution crap, and, yeah...”


Unreal. What's the saying? "Not all Republicans are stupid, but all stupid people are Republicans?" I don't know, that "Not" may need to be dropped.

Friday linkdump

Sullivan sums up the tea-party nonsense nicely.

The anti-gay marriage doofuses must not be aware of the intertubez. Even better, after announcing their gay acronym, some smart pro-marriage-equality realized they hadn't even reserved the fucking web address! So the bigots can M4M themselves all they want, but 2m4m.org is a pro-gay-marriage web site.

Wingnuts, making up their reality as they go along.

CNN - as bad as Fox.

That flip-flop could have sprained a neck!

The chemical industry is threatened by Michelle Obama's organic garden. Cheesus.

In wingnut-land, increasing the defense budget is a decrease.

Goldman Sachs tries to shut down an anti-GS website.

Joe Klein properly disposes of Krauthammer. Klein seems to have really come to his senses the last couple years.

Do not buy a new car. Great comments too. That's good site with a smart bunch of readers.

Um... I love your Biffy too



And that's all I have to say about that!

"Surrounded by Sodomites"

This is beautiful. Simply beautiful.

"Deeply fucked in the head"

Indeed.

How come, when I head out of town on business, or Erica is out of town at a yoga retreat, I don't need a hall monitor? And I'm one of those immoral/amoral atheists!

Seriously, when I'm in Hotlanta for 5 days for a trade show, my concern won't be "how will I resist temptation?" It'll be "where's the best local food and drink?" Now, sure, it's the south. Will there be southern girls and sundresses and legs and boobs as far as the eye can see? Damn right there will be, and I'll be enjoying the show. But not for one single fucking second will I have to "fight temptation." Roommate, boss and I will just appreciate, maybe say a "hoo-WHEE" under our collective breath, and have another damned drink. Because there's nothing better than tax-deductible meals at the Capital Grille.

When you boil it down, religion is all about the penis and the fear of women. The weak-minded have such a fear of life and of their own frailties it's ridiculous, so they project their stupidity on the rest of the world and decide that we need control, especially the women (everything is their fault, of course).

I hate these people.

{crickets}

In Binghamton, an immigrant killed a lot of people. Predictably, the wingnuts pounced.

I notice this morning's cop-killing in Pittsburgh was committed by a white 'Merkun wingnut:

Police did not immediately release the gunman's identity, but his friends at the scene described him as a young man who thought the Obama administration would ban guns.

One friend, Edward Perkovic, said the gunman feared "the Obama gun ban that's on the way" and "didn't like our rights being infringed upon." Another longtime friend, Aaron Vire, said he feared that President Obama was going to take away his rights, though he said he "wasn't violently against Obama."


Come on Pam, come on Michele. What's your take on this one?

See what adult leadership can do?



Story here. And here. And here.

And more on the G-20 in general.

South Park

Last night's episode was insane as usual. The guys are still bringin' it.

Sully does them justice.

Linka dinka doo

Mark Cuban gets it right.

Bill James on the Orioles and other things.

Tweak your Google Image searches.

In praise of strong coffee.

The next bubble to burst?

Beating back the the "lower taxes will raise federal revenue" bullshit, one blog post at a time.

Worst wresting character ever. I can't believe this is real, but that guy was apparently a real WWF character. Is that supposed to be intimidating? Should I be afraid he's going to get glitter on me?

"We cannot have a better first person to attack health care reform than someone who ran a company that ripped off the government of hundreds of millions of dollars." Awesome. A criminal former health care exec is the best representative the right wing can find to fight health care reform.

Republicans - criminally insane? Or inveterate liars?

1619 federal charges against The Hair.

Do you people know how embarrassing it is to have George Will be one of your fraternity brothers?

Joe the Dumber strikes again. Christ these people are ridiculous.

Yes, this is why I see 5-6 troopers and sheriffs a day on my commute. Tickets and fines are the only revenue a lot of municipalities can increase quickly and easily.

WATB alert

John Cole delves deep into the victimhood complex of wingnutia.

Best April Fools stunt ever

I have to admit I got suckered into this big time, and I never fall for this shit. Very well done, boys. That's why you've been on my must-watch list since day 1.



The tone, the pacing, the cross-talk - EXACTLY like the show itself. A+ for effort. And F- to me.

Xtreme!

The 630-yard par 3.



Story here.

Yes, I know those guys are pros, but the fact that they even came close to the green is ridiculous. At that distance, the miss per degree off-line is 33 feet. Throw in some wind, and those shots are unbelievable.

Well, that settles it

I guess I'll never see a game in the new Yankee stadium either.

Because this is all I'll be able to afford...


How do you spend a billion+ on a stadium and let this happen to your fans?

Unpistevable.

Howie Long: "real man" or insecure douchebag?

Does anyone else hate those Howie Long Chevy commercials as much as I do? You know, the ones where you're a pussy you're not a real man if you drive a Ford?

I haven't posted on them because KSK did it so brilliantly back in January, and well, I can't top that. Anyway, they're back for a second helping.

Awesome, as always.

And while we're at KSK, let's check into a little fanfic with Dreamboat, Gisele, and Bridget. Oh, and Tawwwmy from Quinzee. Disturbing. But accurate, I'd imagine. If I imagined such a thing.
