WatchHere’s that super offensive video of Obama making fun of the gays while eating really expensive chicken or whatever that everyone freaked out about today.
Cheney Hates Us For Our Freedom →
And when [our enemies] see the American government caught up in arguments about interrogations, or whether foreign terrorists have constitutional rights, they don’t stand back in awe of our legal system and wonder whether they had misjudged us all along. Instead the terrorists see just what they were hoping for - our unity gone, our resolve shaken, our leaders distracted. In short, they...
Washington is Bullshit →
To the frustration and discouragement of many Democrats, House and Senate lawmakers and aides say it now appears likely that President Obama will this week sign into law a provision allowing visitors to national parks and refuges to carry loaded and concealed weapons.
The White House is lukewarm at best on the gun provision, which was added to a popular measure imposing new rules on credit card...
The Republican Party Turns a Corner by Michael... →
We may be America’s minority party at the moment, but Republicans represent the views and concerns of a majority of Americans.
Mike, before you guys turn any corner you’ll have to learn to use the fucking steering wheel.
Jesse Ventura vs. Sean Hannity →
If you’ve been relishing Jesse Ventura’s current media spree with as much glee as I have…
I love that after a few months in office we’re currently witnessing Obama’s mess, yet after a few more months in office 9/11 is still Clinton’s fault. Hannity Land is such a magical place!
“President Obama is coming to Las Vegas later this month for a political...”
– Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons
Why is President Obama trying to destroy Las Vegas on purpose? That’s not change we can believe in.
The GOP's Hispanic Problem →
While I have yet to tire of the endless stream of ‘Republicans are soooo Fucked’ pieces that have been appearing on every website and in every newspaper and magazine on a daily basis for the past few months, let’s get one thing straight. The GOP doesn’t have a Hispanic problem. It doesn’t have a women problem or a black problem or a youth problem either. Their problem...
Sorry, Twitter, Prop. 8 has not been overturned →
Everybody, Google before you Twitter.
“I was only called in for the final three, and one was Miss California.”

abbyjean:
fuck yeah, america (maura)
so the main effect of these tumblr rankings has been to make me (and the people i follow and respect) think less of tumblr. good job, tumblr powers that be!
I don’t think I can fully convey how much less I think of the people behind Tumblr since the introduction of this new feature. There are no words.

Amazing.
The Republican Civil War Starts Now →
The Florida 2010 Senate race is going to get crazy — it’s already crazy a year and a half before the freaking election!
NY Assembly Passes Gay Marriage Bill - NYT →

“It’s an extremely exciting time for our town,” said Kathryn Upchurch, manager of Woodward’s Main Street organization. “It’s history in the making.”
What Motivates Dick Cheney (According to Rush... →
He doesn’t need the money. He has no further political ambitions. He is not hot for interns. He is not a torture freak. He knows that he is toxic and despised by the drive-by media and the Democrat party and the left in this country. What motivation does Dick Cheney have to go out and say these things? Is it possible that Dick Cheney is motivated by national interest? Is it possible that...

Homophobia to continue trumping national security. (lgm)
Every application of this policy is a national disgrace. (lgm)
Absurd as firing soldiers for being gay was under George W. Bush, it’s double-absurd for it to be happening under a president who’s acknowledged that it’s an unjust policy. (yglesias)
The fact of the matter is that on any given week, it’ll be more convenient to...
Obama Supporters Need Thicker Skin
soupsoup:
The right is desperate, only 21% of Americans identify themselves as a Republican these days. They are a party in disarray, and when a wounded animal is cornered, they have no option other than to attack.
Let Sean Hannity make jokes about President Obama being an elitist because he asked for dijon mustard on his burger. We made fun of Bush ever day for eight years, they’re entitled to...

Sorry to be so “snake eating its own tail”, but I really admire this site.
Thanks, The Awl. I feel special, like.
Awesome.

Morpheus: “This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.”
