Blogospheric Badasses

We seem to have a couple of wannabe thug trolls trying to act scary and intimidating.  They are about as authentic and dangerous as the guys in this clip: Yeah, I’m shaking – from laughter. This is an open thread

Things I just don’t get

Parts of the past year remain a total mystery to me.  For instance, what made Barack Obama more of a Change!™ agent than Hillary Clinton?  Did everyone REALLY think that she was going to escort Bush to the door and then just slide behind the desk in the Oval Office, picking up business like nothing [...]

Caroline Kennedy drops out

In one of the most bizzarre articles I have ever read at the NYTimes, comes news that Caroline Kennedy decides to not pursue Hillary’s seat because of her uncle’s health.  But, her anonymous friends exclaim, she could have had the job if she wanted it.  It’s just that, um, she didn’t want it.  Did she [...]

Barack Obama, The Underachiever’s President

Beforehand, my apologies to scrubs57 for breaking my penance!   It’s been all family the past few days.  Grandma PUMA had outpatient surgery yesterday so I wasn’t bombarded all day with President Obama’s Inaugural Bacchanal.  While it is a cause for celebration,  I would have respected Obama 2.0 a lot more if a more austere, [...]

More Change

The last thread was full – keep it going here

Wednesday: You’re perfect, they love you, now Change!

Obama Supporters Get Teabagged in Purple Tunnel Of Doom

  From Barack Oblogger: I’m one of those Obamaites some people hate. Since the day he announced his candidacy, I have been working full-bore to get this man elected. I’ve been a volunteer and a staff member. My family has been brought to the verge of economic collapse due to my dedication toward the campaign [...]
