thursday!

American Tealiban: one, two, three

Nice fundie funding chart here.

Sexism: because isn't not like single parents aren't OVERWHELMINGLY female, right? There's totally no s1ut-punishing features-not-bugs built into a proposal like that. Related "no sexism here, no sir" here.

What.the.fzck. Seriously, how is a person like that even to be tolerated in polite company, let alone be allowed to run for public offfice? I'm stunned.

This is just weird.

On the merits of ideological party purity. Related here.

Yeah...

Uh, what?

Not business as usual. Related here.

Jokers.

Are you into The Larry Sanders Show? I've never seen it but I'm sorta tempted by the deal.

LEEFS!!

boom!

wednesday!

Rand Paul is now officially my least favorite candidate in this cycle.

Normally I'd make some sort of motherfzcking snakes joke, but holy sh1t.

That was *absolutely* treasonous, so shut your holes, Trib editors.

UGH: one, two, three

Clarified.

If you tax Christians, they'll have less money to give to their churches. If that argument's not an admission that organized religions are Ponzi schemes, I don't know what is.

Clarence Thomas sounds like an absolute pig. More ladies on the SCOTUS, pls.

Our urban nation.

There are no happy poets.

TNC on the poverty culture.

Red State, Blue State: one, two

I dunno, Illinois doesn't really do "smart" that well.

Well how 'bout that?

Love these.

thursday!

The round up's taking a couple of days off!!

**

Oh Twitter, with your rascally, truncated URLs....

This is exactly what I was trying to say the other day about man-pants.

File Under: Stating the Obvious

Really? What the hell, people?

How to pet a kitty (from Pat!).

Bonus cute!

wednesday!

I'm rocking a purple sweater today.

File Under: Good Questions

I welcome the coming revolution. Let's all sing the Internationale!

I'm sold, it's going on the reading list.

This is....well, I'm not sure what. It's weird though.

Do not mess with the Interwebs, Gene Simmons, or you will get schooled.

On top of all the usual outrage I have for these things, this is just really disrespectful. If a Dem had tried to do this to Bush during the height of the war or whatever, they'd be shamed out of public life.

/inappropriate

Rachael Ray hates unicorns. What?

Delightful.

Genius.

This is awesome and DC and Marvel need to jump on the idea train. Wear them to the Batpool!

Meta noms.

monday!

RIPs: one and two

One for the history nerds.

Takes on our impending economic doom: one, two, three (and some bonus doom here)

A link from my mom.

This is a joke, right?

/chokedup

This thing reminds me of that other thing. (2nd link: relevant bit starts at about 2 min.)

Two Things: 1. "Damn, I fzcking love the color orange" killed me, and 2. The taller dude sounds exactly like Chris Parnell.

Jason, this is the sort of thing you do at the new job, right?

/delicious

BZZT

This link contains lethal doses of cuteness.

happy friday!

WTF, NPR? Seriously disappointing.

Illinois loves its servicemembers, kindly shove your propaganda.

This is seriously inexcusable even if it's a little funny.

File Under: Incredible, Edible

Mmm, subtle.

WHAT

omg, I never need to leave the house again.

Smash!

thursday!

Rand Paul doesn't think I'm a person with rights.

Sad, and I'm certainly not holding my breath for Haley Barbour to "do the right thing."

This doesn't seem all that bad, but I suppose if I were Bob Saget I'd be annoyed too.

Hey, *I* like Science! And lasers!

The political glamocracy. I'd argue you see this effect most strongly amongst first-time candidates; once you're an incumbent, the incumbency itself is your greatest asset. I don't think anyone would argue that Robert Byrd was a good looking dude for the last 40 years or so of his life.

Parent of the Day.

Well played, sir.

I think the Michael Ian Black joke is hilarious. Context is king.

Do not want.

Slooooooooooooooooooooooths... (and bonus bebeh sloth)

I am not a happy busy bee, fzck you!

Kinda want a skunk now. Poofy tail!
