When The Party’s Over
Shorter Wes Vernon:

- Whoa there, folks. It’s hard enough to convince people that Vince Foster was murdered, that Saddam Hussein was behind the Oklahoma City bombing, and that Flight 800 was shot down by a missile, without conservatives running around trying to float these wacky birth certificate conspiracy theories.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

Also someone needs to follow up on the fact that used to be well understood by patriot / militia types that because some stop signs had bar-code looking stickers on them it obviously meant that Hillary Clinton was planning a Russian / United Nations invasion & occupation of the USA, using these little stickers as crucial navigating tools, and now that she’s going to be given nuclear weapons as the Secretary of State we better stock up on our colloidal silver.

You can be thrilled by the booming station announcer’s voice that the channel has reached the end of the broadcast day, heard the Star Spangled Banner, until you reach the thrilling conclusion of white noise as the broadcast ends.
My, god, we never knew how good we had it, that one day we would be able to wax nostalgic about the return of a TV channel to the reception dominated by the universe’s microwave background noise.

No no no! Vince Foster was shot from one of Saddam’s cannons that was hidden in OKC to bring down flt 800 because one of the stewards had had a gay underage affair with Afro-Muslim Obama who had confessed to him his radical plan to bring down America more than 10 years in the future. Mkay?

More importantly, is Phillip Berg really Tommy Lasorda.
I mean, they both are from Pennsylvania. They both do a lot of yelling – Berg primarily at brown-skinned people; Lasorda at umpires and reporters.
Both are very, very creepy, gray-haired guys with double chins.
And finally, I don’t ever remember seeing these two at the same place at the same time.
Kind of strange, considering both are from Pennsylvania.

I am sure you are all elated to know that the online, NBC-sponsored TV and Movie free streaming video site, Hulu.com, has finally gotten around to putting the hilarious, side-splitting news & review show for conservatives, “Red Eye”, in their collection. Unfortunately they are only up to October 31st, so we don’t yet get to see how the brilliantly insightful Greg Gutfeld will skewer that fake non-citizen and Illinois government corrupter Barack Obama as he loses in a landslide to Palin/McCain.

In re: Conspiracy – funny how Vince Foster was definitely murdered even though 3 investigations said otherwise….but George W. Bush is definitely a constitutional President even though no investigations have been allowed to occur.

In re: bailout, looks like the auto industry might actually get their loan from the Bush Administration re: TARP. Which is good and bad, but mostly good. I feel better about that money going to people who make something, even if it’s gaz-guzzling cars, than people who make pyramid schemes out of overpriced houses…

There were Muslim grad students in Oklahoma City, studying petroleum geology & similar hydrocarbon-production&destruction-related subjects. IIRC, most of the Muslim grad students in 1994 were Saudi or Indonesian, but to the fReichtards all Muslims are fungible, and also probably second cousins or at least prayer-group acquaintances. So, yeah, the first cable news reports on the OC bombings did speculate about dark-skinned jihadiis “taking revenge” for Gulf War Mark I, and some people will never give up that convenient belief.
Wow, that GLUP recipe would produce somewhere between 10 and 15 pounds of food-related product. That’s one heckofa volunteer-committee party… or enough to keep the Doughy Pantload busy for an entire afternoon!

??: Sorry, I don’t understand what’s going on at all. I tried commenting because some others upthread found it worked for them, and it did the trick for me.
From what I gather it’s a problem which may eventually take care of itself; the old gunk clogging up the tubes will get flushed out, or something.

WHY IS RECIPE SHOUTING AT ME
Image in post needs a little shopping – at a glance it looked like he had cracks in his lens
Image of Wes Vernon is just plain spooky. It is like being locked in a doll-house and looking out through little doll-house window and GIANT WES VERNON is leering in at me.

With the auto bailout struggling, there is no longer any doubt that Republicans are now going for the Hitler in the bunker sore loser strategy.
The good news is, the conservatives will get their pills first.

In re: Conspiracy – funny how Vince Foster was definitely murdered even though 3 investigations said otherwise
but but but don’t you get it? KKKlinton fized those investigations so they’d show nothing! His thuggish Southern Democrat attitude scared them away from the truth! He’d have “disappeared” them just like THOUSANDS OTHERS if they had crossed him!!11
See? See? “Innocence” just proves there was a conspiracy!

Wait a minute. . .Pearl Harbor day? Isn’t that from a Historical Event(tm) in. . .HAWAII? Where B. Hussein Kablama may or may not have emerged from the chysalis in a reverse butterfly–>caterpillar triple Salchow maneuver?
Oh my god, S,N is in the pocket of BIG CHICAGO MUSLIMS.

Vince Foster is alive and well and living in the tribal areas of Pakistan. The ‘Vince Foster’ was vat-grown replicant. As soon as The One is in power Vince will come forth with his hordes of Islamofascist allies and Sharia will descend on us all. It’s been years in the making.

Nobody here claiming access to the current, non-Day of Infamy Home of the Sadlynaughts is actually real, are you. Posting comments–back to the awful gingrich. Cache clear–back to the awful gngrinch. Cookie diddling, while more intrinsically satisfying–back to the awful gingrich.
