    No banana slapping in the video, Hugely, but you may want to watch to the end to see him bring God’s given fruit to his mouth.

    I love that they use the banana, a fruit that has been breed and genetically modifed to the point that it looks nothing like its native form. Also, it looks like a big penis.

    mikey- if you’ve never seen Ali G before, his schtick is interviewing intellectuals/high-profile government officials and asking them the world’s stupidest questions. I think it’s bloody hilarious :-)

    Since Ali G hasn’t announced his candidacy for President yet, here’s a candidate we can all get behind.

    Sam Brownback

    He’s the far right man for the far right job.

    Hilarious! He pulled a similar stunt (reacting to “homo” in “homo sapiens”) with Chomsky (bi-lingual): “I ain’t like dat.” Chomsky didn’t have much reaction to Ali G’s reference to “cuni-lingual.” Good stuff!

    Ah, welcome Sadly No denizens, both of you, who chose to visit our site. I hope more will visit, although, unlike you, we are not about “teh funny.” We will check out your site and see if we can find some way to appeal to your funny bone, while simultaneously demonstrating that helping to get Sam Brownback the GOP nomination is to your advantage.

    Perhaps “Brad Rocket” or Gavin, or even “HTML Mencken” (ha ha, your name made me spill my coffee, you owe me some paper towels) will see fit to add us to your blog roll or maybe make fun of us in good sport.

    We’re all in this together. America needs “teh funny” and America needs Sam Brownback. Is this where I slip on a banana peel and do a pratfall?

    Thanks for the link, Brownbacker.

    I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but there is an amazing new towhnhall wingnut coming to full looney fruition right before our eyes:

    For too long Christians have been in retreat. Lately, several men with very little knowledge of theology or cultural history have foisted tracts on to a public that has been denied exposure to the rich tradition of Christianity upon which our rights, our values, and highest forms of art are based. A handful of smug “scientists” (Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, among them) have come along displaying their ignorance in pedestrian prose. …

    But we need to be reminded that Christians started almost all of the major universities in this country. If it weren’t for Christians, the atheists would be chanting into the fire and clubbing each other over the head for food and women. But contrary to the historical evidence, the atheists claim to have the moral high ground, to be the most civilized, while cashing in royalty checks. Christians’ own recent timidity is partly to blame.

    Geez, she sounds really upset. I wonder why?

    Yes, one of the reasons for my attending this conference was to find a publisher for my novel manuscript, “Dancing with Derrida,” that tackles the atheistic world that has brought us abortion, feminism, pornography, political correctness, and objectifying sex. But I am told that no “Christian” publisher will touch it. And most mainstream publishers seem to want novels that promote politically correct themes, nihilistic views of dysfunctionalism, chick lit fluff, or timid little tomes that present “doubt.”

    Oh, I see. Stupid atheists like Dawkins and Harris have the temerity to be published, whilst Ms. Grabar’s deathless prose languishes in obscurity.

    With her being such a skilled writer and all, I can’t imagine how that could be.

  31. Jillian said,

    March 11, 2007 at 18:17

    Oh, Christ, and this bit of “poetry” is from the comments to that article:

    YOU ARE HETEROSEXUAL

    As the sun of the earth must rise
    To give sustaining warmth, light and life
    The son of man must rise
    For he has a purpose too
    To rise up and bring forth life with all that God has given him
    To honor and love
    To protect the blood of his offspring
    To give and receive this love
    It takes a heterosexual
    The blueprint of the Creator
    You are heterosexeual

    this is….blargh….ack……grmph! Please, next time just poke me in the eye with a stick or something.

  32. Psycheout said,

    March 11, 2007 at 20:54

    What’s wrong with celebrating being a heterosexual?

    Do you have a problem with “gay pride day?”
    What if there was a “straight/normal pride day?”

    Heterosexual, and proud of it!

    I think the poem was very nice.
    How could anyone find it offensive?

    You don’t need a poke in the eye. You need a hug.

  33. Jillian said,

    March 11, 2007 at 21:24

    No, I think “straight pride day” is a wonderful idea. Right up there with “White pride day”. You should throw a White pride day celebration, too – I know where you can get some groovy armbands for that one. You’ll have to figure out the marchign on your own, though.

    Doofus.

    At any rate…..Doug Giles chimes in to let us know that the only way Ann Coulter could’ve been more Christlike when she called John Edwards a “faggot” would be if she had called him a “fucking polesmoking nancy-boy”.

    I forget where in the Beatitudes it talks about “Blessed are the pottymouths”. Can anyone help me out?

  34. Psycheout said,

    March 11, 2007 at 21:36

    Sorry, don’t know about “marchign,” but then I never really learned how to dance.

  35. Jillian said,

    Awwww, c’mon………..show us your white pride!

    What, are you ashamed?

  36. Psycheout said,

    March 11, 2007 at 22:12

    there is an amazing new townhall wingnut coming to full looney fruition right before our eyes:
    I somehow feel guilty about giving Grabar the full treatment, much as she tempts us. It would be another case of shooting red herrings in a black kettle (or something like that).

    After all, her first language seems to be Slovenian. I don’t know much about Slovenia — despite listening to a shitload of Laibach when I was younger — so for all I know, it could be a country full of foisting, and tracts, prose pedestrians, and atheists who spend their time chanting into the fire and clubbing each other over the head for food and women. Which would explain much about Grabar’s idiosyncratic prose.

    She’d be the ideal person to translate the complete works of Slavoj Žižek into Wingnuttish.

    Sheesh, it’s a weird world.

    Just doing some random surfing around the web, and I find out that wingnut extraordinaire Joshua Muravchik is the son of hysterically anti-communist Socialist (better read “neoconservative”) organizer Manny Muravchik.

    I’m telling you, wingnuttia is a genetic condition. Some day, perhaps they’ll have a cure.
