Tempest in a Teapot

The Obot PDS brigades have their underoos in a twist because Sarah Palin may have written crib notes on her hand. ZOMG – that’s an impeachable offense. BURN THAT SHAMELESS HUSSY AT THE STAKE! From the comments at Think Progress: WAIT, you mean Bimbostien can READ? Seriously, is this really the best the fanboiz of [...]

Super Bowl Pre-Pre-Game Open Thread

What Super Bowl was the best ever? I say it was SB XLII The Patriots were only the second team in NFL history to go undefeated in the regular season, and the game against the lowly Giants was supposed to be just a formality. But someone forgot to tell Eli Manning he wasn’t supposed to [...]

A 16-year-old is buried alive, nobody cries

I’ll bet that girl did, but apparently nobody heard her. Here’s the story: Turkish police have recovered the body of a 16-year-old girl they say was buried alive by relatives in an “honor” killing carried out as punishment for talking to boys. The girl, who has been identified only by the initials MM, was found [...]

Chris Bowers opens mouth, inserts foot. Again.

So, someone wrote an editorial at WaPo asking why liberals are so condescending and Chris Bowers wrote a post upholding the right of liberals to be condescending jerks.  He cites scientists as his models of excellence: Less than 10% of scientists consider themselves Republicans or conservatives.  Why shouldn’t liberals consider their positions to be based [...]

Coastal areas are experiencing blizzard conditions and record snowfalls in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia and all the way up to New Jersey and New York. Let us know how [...]

Tea Parties are for Mad Hatters

For several months now we’ve had people telling us not to be closed-minded about the Tea Party Movement, that they aren’t a Republican operation, they’re independents and we should join forces with them. Bullshit. Republican Tom Tancredo (who ran for the GOP Presidential nomination in 2008) gave the kickoff speech at the Tea Party Convention [...]

Reward Good Behavior- Al Franken

Al Franken has been busy, busy, busy this week!  Just look at all the stuff he’s been up to: Al Franken spoke sternly to David Axelrod (does anyone else think that Axelrod has the profile of a rat? Raise your hand).  Where is the leadership from the White House?  LOL!  That’s a good one, Al.  [...]

Friday Morning News and Views

Good morning Conflucians!!! TGIF! When I first wrote that I really thought it was a good morning. I just spent around 2-1/2 hours writing a long morning news post, and when I tried to save it, I discovered that WordPress had logged me out. Therefore, my entire post was wiped out. I’ll try to recreate [...]

Crying Wolf

I previously posted about Digby equating referring to Obama as “presumptuous” to calling him an “uppity negro.” Well, she seems to be seeing racists under her bed again in Affirmative Fool: I know this isn’t news to anyone, but Rush Limbaugh is a sexist pig and proud of it. If he didn’t have 250 million [...]
