What Taibbi Says

Posted by: on Oct 13, 2011 | No Comments

Matt Taibbi:

Occupy Wall Street … will need a short but powerful list of demands. There are thousands one could make, but I’d suggest focusing on five.

Agreed, and a good list.

But none of it will happen without getting money out of politics. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.

Pigs, flight, etc.

So it’s still gonna be canned beans and guarding your bindle at night.

Richard Clarke on Olbermann referring to today’s Senate Intelligence Report on how the Bush administration lied us into war:

I just don’t think we can let these people back into polite society […] and just pretend this didn’t happen. […] Someone should have to pay.

Um, can I get an AMEN?

Toothpaste Tubes

It’s official: the GOP is 100% gay.

After the two men apparently had sex, Castagna allegedly left the hotel room with Curtis’ wallet, the report says. Curtis agreed to give the man $200, which he left at his hotel’s desk, only to be confronted with a demand for an additional $800, the report says.

Spokane Police Detective Tim Madsen wrote in his report that Curtis wanted to keep the whole incident quiet. At one point, Madsen told Curtis that “the toothpaste was already out of the tube.”

WASHINGTON, DC—A confused President Bush broke free from the restraint of Secret Service agents this morning and ran in pursuit of departing deputy chief of staff Karl Rove’s car for several blocks down Pennsylvania Avenue before being outdistanced by the vehicle.

Remembering Falwell

I don’t take any particular joy in his death, but I do know if I’d met him yesterday, he’d of deemed me immoral and doomed me to hell. So, well, fuck him.

You can Google around as well as I can to find out what an awful human being he was, but here’s a few in memorandum.

“I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won’t have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!” (you didn’t!)

“AIDS is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.”

“I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians … the A.C.L.U., People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America, I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen.'”

(in reference to 9-11) “God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.”

“Textbooks are Soviet propaganda.”

“The whole global warming thing is created to destroy America’s free enterprise system and our economic stability.”

“Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions.”

Oh, and let’s not forget his crusade against Tinky-Winky, the purple Teletubby turning your children teh gay.

[ UPDATE: Heh. There’s a postmortem protest at 18th & Castro tonight. Hey, boys — shouldn’t you be saving this for Phelps? ]

Road to Redemption Chart

Posted by: on Feb 5, 2007 | No Comments

Hmmm… work in progress, but starting a chart here on America’s favorite export: blame.

 

If you are… …and get busted, seek…
Mayor, oh, and fucking your campaign manager’s wife Alcohol Treatment
Congressman, querying your male pages as to their masturbatory habits Alcohol Treatment
Evangelical preacher ordering up a bucket of Cock n’ Crank every weekend Some horseshit pseudo-scientific “Spiritual Restoration”
A Thieving Whore of a Politician “Rehab”, followed by 30 months in prison…or tearful TV appearance, followed by 8 years in prison
A Thieving Whore of a Lobbyist Confuse everyone with a series of disguises, then go to jail for 6 years
Spoiled celeb flashing yer meat curtains ’round town (and not named Paris or Britney) “Treatment” for “undisclosed reasons”

Ok, gotta go work, but c’mon, send me a few more.

Iraq’d

Seeing as The Decider has decided he can’t bother himself with these pesky things during the holidays, it’s important to remember that whatever happens, even if there’s an army of magical peace unicorns in waiting, the pattern will continue to repeat itself:

1. Declare that we must stay in Iraq to prevent some Bad Thing from happening.

2. Bad Thing happens anyway.

3. Declare that we must stay in Iraq to prevent some Worse Thing from happening.

4. Worse Thing happens anyway.

5. Reiterate sequence.

At no point does the “Sensible Center” consider that the previous failures implicate our ability to fulfill the new mission, which is always paradoxically grander in scale while being a retreat from previous ambitions.

Karl Rove takes bath with toaster

Posted by: on Nov 8, 2006 | No Comments

Well, at least he should be.

But, I will not gloat.

Okay, perhaps a little. People I no longer have to suffer:

  • “Man-on-dog” Rick Santorum.
  • Mike DeWine
  • Ken Blackwell
  • Richard Pombo
  • George Allen
  • Gov Pataki
  • Gov Romney
  • Jon Kyl
  • Katherine Harris
  • Conrad Burns

Oh, yeah, and Rumsfeld. Buh-bye.

Please, oh God please, let the door hit you on the way out.

*happy dance*

And “liberal” media? We got you too — we took both houses.

Thankfully, sycophant Lieberman will suck up to the Democrats now that they’re in the majority.

My hit list for the next election(s):

  • James Inhofe
  • Marilyn Musgrave
  • Tubemeister Stevens
  • Sam Brownback
  • “I attack limbless vets!” Saxby Chambliss
  • Tom “illegal abortions” Coburn
  • John Cornyn
  • Peter King
  • Saint McCain
  • Trent Lott
  • Obvious Alzheimer victim, Jim Bunning
  • …and Droopy Dog, Joe Lieberman

But I will not gloat.
