Dont Let O’Bama Take My Right’s Away

teabagger

Yesterday’s teabaggers had a multitude of concerns and complaints, including this one in Albuquerque protesting the federal governments governments’ government’s plan to take away his right to put apostrophes where they don’t belong and leave them out where they do.

UPDATE: And for those of you who think that the errant apostrophe in “politician’s” was the magic marker equivalent of a typo, there’s this:

You can pry my apostrophes from my cold, dead hand.

It looks like there was an internal struggle in that last word, with the e winning out over something else. An insurgent apostrophe, perhaps?

 
 

Obama totally talks like that! Ha ha!

 
 

It’s pimpin’, see, cause O’bama’s black. Y’all. Homes.

Hey y’all seen my Be Pimpin’ Our Childrens Future? I left it lying around somewhere and now it’s gone missing. I’m seriously peeved at Our Politician for lording over me the fact that he knows exactly where his Be Pimpin Our Childrens Future is. I suppose it is my own fault for not labelling it as prominently as Our Politician did, but with the recent run on cardboard and Sharpies, what was a Dragon-King to do?

Then why not ban commercial use of the freeways, including passenger cars? Put the highways under the Defense Department budget, and shut the hell up about trains, son.

We already have commercial planes. They aren’t needed, dumbass.

“With the dramatic rise in gasoline prices during 2007–2008, Amtrak has seen record ridership.[56] Capping a steady five year increase in ridership overall, regional lines saw 12% year-over-year growth in May, 2008.[57]”

“Amtrak President Alex Kummant made specific observations: $10 billion per year is transferred from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund; $2.7 billion is granted to the FAA; $8 billion goes to “security and life safety for cruise ships.” Overall, Kummant claims that Amtrak receives $40 in federal funds per passenger, while highways are subsidized at a rate of $500–$700 per automobile. Moreover, Amtrak provides all of its own security, while airport security is a separate federal subsidy. Kummant added: “Let’s not even get into airport construction which is a miasma of state, federal and local tax breaks and tax refinancing and God knows what.””

 
 

Teh teabagger’s arent very smar’t.

 
 

Oh Troofie, I have no doubt that 57% of Americans saw Joe Biden from Delaware and said “Hm, we can ladle out pork to Amtrak too!”

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

 
 

So you think its just a coincidence…

No, Joe Biden has been a STRONG supporter Amtak for a very long. Being a regular user and the headquarters being located in his state.

It’s not any kind of coincidence at all.

It was part of the campaign platform…

How sweet of Authentic Conservative: he comes over here offering holes for the SadlyNaughts to stick their dicks in, and whenever the moderators close one up he obligingly drills new ones.

 
 

BTW, I already told you–highways are part of constitutioanlly-authorized national defense.

Yes and we already shot down that argument as currently irrelevant, if it ever was.

Man, wingnuts cannot protest for shit.

 
 

If ‘National Defense’ is constitutionally mandated in the form of the Interstate Highway System then Amtrak is also constitutionally mandated as part of “National Freedom and Prosperity”.

If the highways were only used by the military you might have a more defensible point. They don’t, yours isn’t.

 
 

It’s still billions in taxpayer money given to a wasteful, unproductive, and parasitic government program that benefits a powerful politician.

We’re not talking about the Halliburton contracts, we’re talking about public transportation.

Troofy, I’d be happy to defund Amtrak ($1.2 billion), if you’ll throw in the FAA ($14.6 billion) and the Interstate Highway Commission ($10-20 billion, mostly in gas taxes).

Deal?

 
 

Stop the spending! If we don’t stop government spending, we’re gonna have another Great Depression, just like the last one which happened because there was too much regulation of the banks and too much government spending. Amirite?

 
 

I want the bejeesus funded out of Amtrak, or its SUPERTRAIN inheritor. Fuck a bunch of shits who don’t like it. I don’t give a fuck. I’m tired of these lame-brained anti-tax shills thinking they fucking own public discourse, that the rest of America needs to kowtow to their stupid asses.

Hello, “Taxation is Theft.”

Since you apparently are enraged that Obama’s plan is giving you more money by taxing you less, you should hand that money over to someone who wants it. Like me. Deal?

 
 

Dude, taxation is not theft. Stealing government services is theft.

Go down to your local grocery store and try that “paying for groceries is theft” horseshit and tell me how that works out.

 
 

Ok, for the last time.

Your tax money is going toward paying for an F-22 Raptor. Number 189 or something.

My tax money is being ‘dumped’ down the Amtrak pit.

k?

From The Daily Item, via Wonkette:

“Joanne Millard, 68, a resident at Riverfront Apartments, slipped on a rock and then fell into the water while dumping tea leaves from a plastic bag into the river to protest the recent trillions of dollars in government spending.”

No doubt she will fully refund Medicare for her expenses.

You don’t have any claim on the money I earned, El Cid.

Sure I do. You don’t like it. But I do. Go cry about it to somebody who gives a shit, or go move to some tax and government-free paradise like Somalia or the interior of Democratic Republic of Congo or tribal areas of Yemen.

You want to run a democratic and voluntary government and economic system? Fine, we can talk in the abstract.

But, “tax is theft”? Property is theft. Eat that shit and die, whiner.

 
 

94 cents, Troofie, but even then, you can’t be trooful.

 
 

The people voted for government-funded Marxist Kenyan-born gaybortions and against everything you hold dear, and speaking against the president and the majority of Americans is treason, or so I’ve been told in the past. America: love it or leave it, Randbag. Go on, go Galt to some tax-free paradise. I triple dog dare you.

 
 

Property is theft. Get it right, budding political theorist!

Because goodness knows, ol’ Troofie gets nothing back for his tax dollar, right? No federal highway system, no social security blanket, no clean air, clean water, trash pickup, police protection, fire protection, FAA, Coast Guard, border patrol, FDA, EPA, FBI, CIA…

Alan Keyes latest THOUGHTLET:

The Enemy of my Enemy is ?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I’ve never been sure the old maxim made much sense. It gives your enemies rather too much control over the identification of your friends. What’s more, it allows people who really aren’t your friends to identify themselves as such just by opposing your enemies. Doesn’t that make it easier for your enemies to plant agents in your midst with no more effort than it takes to stage a phony brawl?
Because they live in such a hostile media environment, conservatives are all too willing to embrace any media voice that seems to take on their left wing opponents. But this means that at critical moments (particularly when it comes to personnel choices) they will be susceptible to information provided by people who have only been fighting with their enemies in order to get into a better position to do in the people whose sincerity, ability and leadership offer conservatives the greatest promise of success.
In this regard I have observed that the most important information conservatives can get from Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel is silence: the things and people Fox positively ignores. You can be sure someone you know to be conservative is standing firm for what’s right when you can’t remember the last time you saw or heard anything positive about them on Fox News. Think of all the reporting they’ve done on the issue of Obama’s eligibility for the Presidency.
Listen to the silence. Better yet, learn from it.

 
 

Look at all that denim. George Will is not pleased.

 
 

Who wants burgers?

Bull?

 
 

What’s all this about plugging Troofy’s holes?

Maybe that’s where all the apostrophes are gathering.

 
 

See, this is why I hate Alan Keyes so much. The man is so clearly intelligent. But then, every.single. time. he dives willingly into pelagic depths of crazy.

No funhouse mirror can so warp a person’s view of reality- it takes gravitic lensing to bend shit that much.

 
 

Look at all that denim. George Will is not pleased.

Hot damn that old geezer is worthless and irrelevant. Maybe this “pull up your damn pants” rant will finally get Grampa canned. Then again…

 
 

It’s funny, because even with so many people agitating to cut their budget to $0, Amtrak has had eight record years of ridership in a row. Last year, 29 million people used Amtrak services, and many more traveled on regional rail that uses Amtrak railway or train stock (example: NJ Transit, Philadelphia’s SEPTA, Boston’s MBTA, Connecticut’s Shore Line East, and New York MTA’s LIRR and Metro-North all rely on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor line tracks). I think that’s not quite “Joe Biden playing with trains”.

You can tell Troofie’s all hopped up on tea this morning. It was an exciting day for him yesterday, teabagging with all his buddies. He’s still picking the curly hairs from his teeth and grinning.

His incessant spamming of S,N! is like a bratty teenager who wears clothes or plays music that annoy his or her parents because it annoys the parents, and for no other reason.

But then, I have a teenage daughter who has more maturity than Troofie.

“Pissing off the lie-brals” is all he and his buddies have left, and sometimes, late at night, they realize it, and cry into their pillows.

 
 

The “bull / horns” comment tells us that Trollyboy’s man-crush hero is the high-school principal from The Breakfast Club. It makes perfect sense – he’s petty, bitter, crooked, loathed by everyone… a laughing-stock for a whole generation, with TP hanging out the back of his pants.

Nice article by Robert Reich that takes the teabaggers points on one by one.

 
 

TRUE FACT: I would murder for a rail line from Dallas to Austin to San Antonio, and from Dallas to Houston. Would open the state right up.

You may say murder is a bit drastic, but have YOU ever driven that stretch of I-35?

 
 

I bet if you asked him, he would tell you that the crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe!

You may say murder is a bit drastic, but have YOU ever driven that stretch of I-35?

Amen, bruddah. And if they served kolaches on the train, no one would even think of driving.

Every so often I go to the Texas High Speed Rail Transportation Corporation website to fantasize, but then I’m snapped back to reality by the fact that Southwest and American Airlines will never let it happen.

 
 

You may say murder is a bit drastic, but have YOU ever driven that stretch of I-35?

Yes. ughughugh. I-10 from SA to Houston is also one of those time warp roads – it takes three times as long as it actually takes.

 
 

Southwest and American Airlines will never let it happen.

I never even thought about that. I’ma go cry now.

it takes three times as long as it actually takes.

This is the perfect description and I’m so stealing it.

 
 

As I was in bed this antimatter listening to NPR I had a revelation or epiphany or something. They reported on Obama’s railroad interests and played a bit of his speech.

He’s a FASCIST! Yeah, I wondered who would be the first whinger to claim that Obama’s interest in RAILROADS is PROOF HE’S A FASCIST because MUSSOLINI BLART BLART….

They’ve made the Goldberg conjecture leap of logicless inanity in their heads. That’s why they’re all on about trains.

Also, the Ho said there was a teabagger sign which I will describe below but didn’t leave it up or tell me where he saw it. So this may be apocryphal.

I’ve been worrying that this whole teagagger thing is going to give the Partner a stroke. He’s getting ready to dump people off his Facebook because, he says, he doesn’t want even that tenuous connection with anyone so stupid.

anything but hilarity from the left. Do they think that we identify the sign-challenged tea baggers with militia guys living in compounds where they’ve stockpiled explosives?

 
 

Okay, found it.
Corrected copy: The American Taxpayers are the Jews for Obama’s Ovens”

Given the correct apostrophe usage, I suspect an infiltrator.

 
 

Can anyone confirm it? Agent provocateur maybe?

Chicago Tea Party.

 
 

Do they think that we identify the sign-challenged tea baggers with militia guys living in compounds where they’ve stockpiled explosives?

Classic defense mechanism. Invent a threat to distract attention from one’s own demonstrations of idiocy.

 
 

Does anyone know what wingnuts like Warner Todd Huston are going on about when they rant that Democrats and leftists are saying that their Tea Parties are dangerous and threaten revolution?

They take the DHS report personally. They think its definition of right-wing extremism covers all conservatives.

 
 

“They think its definition of right-wing extremism covers all conservatives.”
Then they pause to call for secession and violent revolution, and then go back to bitching about being painted as extremists.

 
 

Also, translation of the second sign: “Micks/guineas, kikes, those fags with ejykations– what’s the difference?”

 
 

Oh, Huston’s a perfect example of the insanity of the right.

Paranoia and “team” politics: DHS releases a report that warns of right wing extremism. Because they criticize rightwingers, it follows that DHS is left-wing.

Goose up the misplaced paranoia, because the DHS actually has authority, which feeds the fear of imaginary government action, which has been lying dormant since the “black helicopter” scares.

Add in a healthy dose of unconscious guilt and paranoia: “The report warns of violent right wing extremists and because I am full of internal violent hatred toward Obama my guilty conscience spurs me to think they must mean MEEEE!”

Followed by a subtle seasoning of irrationality: “The Tea-Parties are totally non-Partisan. Which is why the left hates them, because the left hates conservatives. But the Tea-Parties are totally non-Partisan. Really.”

Plus self-delusion: I can’t possibly believe what I see in the mirror, so they can’t be laughing, they must be quaking in fear instead.

 
 

Um, why are folks arguing with the disemvoweled?

 
 

Like I said, walk into a bar, yell “Hey, needledick” to nobody in particular, and these assholes will all jump out of their chairs and say “Who you callin’ needledick?”.

To which your reply would be, “One second ago, nobody. Now, I guess, you.”

 
 

“why are folks arguing with the disemvoweled?”

Because they done been disembrained.

 
 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but in current slang, isn’t “pimping” a way of saying you’re making something better, by adding flashy “bling” or extravagent features? Then wouldn’t “Pimpin’ our children’s future” be a good thing?

Is there any official Gathering of Eagles-type figure being tossed around by the fucktards yet? I’ve been to a few teabag sites who claim numbers for individual teabagening events and they’re often in the 500 – 1,000 range, which is a pretty specious count by anyone’s measure sans Michelle Malkin.

Just curious. I am thinking one-million to 45 billion will be claimed.

 
 

Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner!

 
 

I’ve never been a tea-bagger, although I will admit to having been a tea-bagg-ee once or twice.

 
 

I’ve been worrying that this whole teagagger thing is going to give the Partner a stroke. He’s getting ready to dump people off his Facebook because, he says, he doesn’t want even that tenuous connection with anyone so stupid.

He could always hide their stupid posts and status updates so as not to get pissed off. I’ve had to do that with a few friends. One whose posts I tolerate because he also posts a lot of other stuff that I don’t want to miss may finally be seeing the light. I didn’t get an angry email from him over the David Shuster teabagging video I posted the other day and he’s all like, WTF? this morning over Rick Perry’s secession comments. On a 10 point wingnut scale he’s only about a 4 but still, keep it up, Republicans. Keep scaring and embarrassing a chunk of the people who like to make cracks about Al Gore inventing the internet and think the CRA is to blame for the banking meltdown. That’ll make everything right again.

 
 

Marlowe: “Then they pause to call for secession and violent revolution, and then go back to bitching about being painted as extremists.”

That made Huston’s post rather entertaining. He wanted to make the leftists afraid, yet at the same time wanted to show how crazy the leftists were for looking for links between conservatives and domestic terrorists.

Shorter Huston:
“You’re pretending that we’re all violent as an excuse to spy on us and take away our guns. Obviously our Tea Parties are non-violent. On the other hand, now we’ve tried a non-violent protest and we expect immediate results. After all, Martin Luther King never would have gotten the Civil Rights Laws passed without blowing up that church.”

Actual quote from Huston’s post:
” But if elections and the democratic process fail to impress government officials against their habits where does that leave future protests?”

 
 

But if elections and the democratic process fail to impress government officials

Um, wait. We did have elections… and he lost. So what the hell is he talking about?

“Is there any official Gathering of Eagles-type figure being tossed around by the fucktards yet?”

Estimates in NYC are at 4000+ for the later, early evening Teabagging. Big fucking deal. Anti-war protests in 2003 drew a crowd estimated somewhere between 300,000 and 1,000,000.

 
 

Ken Lowery: “Um, wait. We did have elections… and he lost. So what the hell is he talking about?”

But the WRONG PEOPLE were elected. It’s so clear. If they don’t change their policies to agree with the minority of voters they can’t be legitimate, and therefore violence is justified to overthrow them. That’s just logic.

 
 

I was going to make a witty observation about conservatives and their apparent difficulties with apostrophes, but several dozen people beat me to it…

Ah, but since the tea party protesters are Real Americans with Real Jobs, they’re equivalent to 250 liberal protesters, which means they were a million strong in New York, so eat it, hippie!!

Pre-emptively, Nate at 538 says 250,000 nationwide.

When you factor in the number of organized demonstrations and figure that about 10,000 showed up in DC alone, you’re looking at something on the order of less than a thousand per.

Or John Mellencamp who “hadn’t had a big hit in fifteen years since the cover of that Van Morrison song,” conveniently forgetting that after Sept. 11, you couldn’t spin around but to hear this song “Peaceful World”, which he’d probably like since JM has a line about being politically correct and shit, even tho that’s not what he meant.

Bankster is a portmanteau of Banyan Tree and Prankster. It refers to the mischievous monkey that attempts to ruffle Dakshinamurthy to no avail – thus it means “one who is ineffective despite resorting to underhanded tactics”.

 
 

I’m not a big fan of John “Don’t call me ‘cougar'” Mellencamp. After recently hearing his Fresh Air interview I find I like the guy a little more. Anyway, the idjit at BigHo could have done a teensy weensy bit of research before making stupid statements about the music business. At Big Hollywood, no less. Jeebus they’re really that fucking st00pit™, aren’t they?

Mellencamp wrote and produced all 10 songs on Freedom’s Road, and the record peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 album chart […]

Life, Death, Love and Freedom, which became the ninth Top 10 album of Mellencamp’s career when it debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 the week of August 2, 2008 […]

Another interesting and on-topic portmanteau

PIMPIN’ is actually a portmanteau of Pimlico, which I believe is slightly south-west of Filler Shots from the previous thread, and Pinery – a park in Southern Ontario. Thus, our dungaree-ed sign bearer is warning us that Our Politician’s are actually turning Our Childrens Future into an exclusive and well-heeled residential area lined with coniferous trees.

[…]For one thing, it’s brought together the words teabag and Michelle Malkin for me in a very powerful, thrilling sort of way. Not that I haven’t ever put those two concepts together before, but this is the first time it’s happened while in the process of reading her actual columns.
[…]
Now when I read her stuff, I imagine her narrating her text, book-on-tape style, with a big, hairy set of balls in her mouth. It vastly improves her prose.

Obama said the nation must protect the identity of CIA contractors and employees “as vigilantly as they protect our security.”

“We have been through a dark and painful chapter in our history,” the president said. “But at a time of great challenges and disturbing disunity, nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past.”

In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution. The men and women of our intelligence community serve courageously on the front lines of a dangerous world. Their accomplishments are unsung and their names unknown, but because of their sacrifices, every single American is safer. We must protect their identities as vigilantly as they protect our security, and we must provide them with the confidence that they can do their jobs. – Obama

This is complete and utter bullshit.

Putting someone in a coffin like box with insects and slamming people up against walls, and depriving them of food and sleep isn’t “carrying out intelligence” nor does it secure the US against terrorists or prevent terrorism.

If Obama thinks releasing those memos without punishing the authors isn’t going to lead to more hatred of the United States he’s delusional.

It used to be much much worse – but their sheer ugliness was either hidden or taken for granted.

Chomsky recounts the postwar screenings of footage of Hiroshima burn-victims in New York theaters, & the gales of merry laughter these films were met with – such was the true nature of society back in “Teh Good Olde Days” … whereas nowadays anyone showing that stuff as entertainment would be rightly classified as a sick fuck in need of professional help.

Thanks, Jim, and everyone else who has informed me about this. I’m fairly clueless as adults go, since I’m a sheltered computer geek from nowhere and only started paying attention to anything much to do with society after I realized how awful GW Bush was – not that I voted for him or anything, I’m from a liberal family and have always kneejerkily voted that way.

As long as you ignore that whole “doomed to repeat it” thing.

Indeed. I hope he’s not saying that we should ignore it, but I can live with his saying that we shouldn’t bicker and argue about who killed who – as long as we recognize that the killings happened and don’t do anymore.

I’d rather see some blame being placed, personally.

Somehow I get the impression that g, ITTDGY and MzNicky are not the only ones who have been drinking.

 
 

Smut, I believe that’s enwelshing.

 
 

You’d want your stomach to be passable after that.

No, no, I remember now, it was Gen’l. Santa Anna.

No, it wasn’t her, it was one of the Fantanas. Or maybe all of them!

 
 

Wayne Fontana said that? The only thing he is reported to have said was “Get the fuck off my stage!”
It was The Flying Wallenders who said that

 
 

My mind may not be blown, but it’s definitely bent.

 
 

“We have been through a dark and painful chapter in our history,” the president said. “But at a time of great challenges and disturbing disunity, nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past.”

I think Obama hopes to treat the Bush administration like the Civil War.
“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan – to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.” Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865.

Some people have found it within themselves to forgive the murderer of their child, or spouse or parent. But the law still exacts a penalty, as Obama knows perfectly well. And one must ask, do we Americans have the right to “move on” past the suffering of the people, usually not-Americans, who were actually tortured? Do we have the right to forgive and forget violence that was not visited on us? Can we just pass on laying blame on behalf of the people who were actually waterboarded and isolated and left in stress positions, not knowing for how many years this suffering would continue?

I have grave doubts about this “no blame” position.

 
 

How crazy are the Teabaggers/Fox News/Beck/Malkin crowd?
Doughboy and Geraldo are the reasonable and smart ones.

I know I’m late to the party, but I thought it appropriate to mention that, proportionately speaking, if you’re making the Median US Wage (approx. $45,000) and paying about $5,000 in federal Income Tax, your total contribution to the huge Amtrak subsidy is a buck and a half per year. It costs me more than that in highway tolls just to drive to fucking New Hampshire and back.

Carry on.

 
 

John Yoo should be air dropped over the Middle East.

Thanks MaineMan. Point taken.

Turning in soon – I can’t fucking believe it’s Thursday and I still have to go to work one more fucking day this week.

Carry on.

Thank you for the perspective, MaineMan.

If wingnuts knew anything about math … well, if my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle.

Hey Gavin, what the fuck? Does “continued shortly” mean something besides what I think it means? Update, you slacking fuck.

What do bloggers writing in Hebrew or Arabic script use instead of disemvowelling?

 
 

Saw above (way above) a facebook reference. Maybe a S,N! group is in order, or am I too late to the party for that. Too late, meaning too weird and too old. You kids are probably on to the next thing: junkspace, or assbox, or something we old fucks can’t figure out. Probably has something to do with lolz and :)(:”?>)

I’m so sad.

Er, too harsh? I blame the alcohol.

“What do bloggers writing in Hebrew or Arabic script use instead of disemvowelling?”

They have the re-envowler. “Ywh” for example, becomes “Yo, Howie.”

 
 

“Hey, you got your junkspace in my assbox!”

“No, you got your assbox in my junkspace, assbox!” Roflcopter.

 
 

Hackers assjacked my tonguebox.

 
 

Back from the bath, and aaaaaahhh— a long soak does wonders to loosen the vowels. Smut C, upon returning I initially misread your query about Arabic script as Aramaic, in which case the carver is generally grateful for the lack of dictated vowels since it saves a lot of chisel-strokes.

 
 

Hey Gavin, what the fuck? Does “continued shortly” mean something besides what I think it means? Update, you slacking fuck.

Give the man some fucking slack.

 
 

Dude, I got the new assbox
No way face junk
Way, old fuck. It fits on my asspace like it grew there.
Oh you junkass

 
 

Speaking of torture, this is some seriously fucked up shit.

Something is very clear from these memos. The Bush administration often liked to say that they needed these memos to remain confidential in order to preserve the principle that the administration should receive the most candid legal advice available. What that secrecy fomented was a culture in which the precise conditions under which a man who had been shot in the leg could be placed inside a cramped box — how many hours? — and subjected to insects crawling on him without it being blatantly illegal. It wasn’t just Abu Zubaydah’s senses and personality that these memos warped.

This whole “let’s stick this guy in a box and then put in some stinging insects” deal is straight out of Orwell’s “1984.” What a bunch of sick fucks.

I’ve long been steeped in the lovely brown decoction that is Sadly, No! But it’s srsly time for bed now, not that any of you antipodal wiseacres care.

 
 

Who you callin’ antipodal? I’m an American, and proud of it.

 
Enraged Bull Limpet
 

Commie, you’re apparently a pro-podal individual with more stamina than I possess. ‘Bye for real now, and Flyingspaghettimonsterspeed to all!

 
 

It’s a portogism.

Ah. Like fleet week in San Francisco?

 
 

I was pro podal before I was antipodal.

 
 

I was pro-podal until 9/11 happened and I became outraged by the fact that Ted Kennedy has feet.

 
 

You’re quoting someone, aren’t you. No, don’t say, let me guess. George Orwell? De Tocqueville? Alexander Fraser Tytler?

It was Santa Anna’s leg, but the quote has been incorrectly attributed to De Tocqueville.

 
 

Wolver’ine’s!!

 
 

What would you wager that this guy believes in home-schooling, too?

 
 

I guess you have to be a straight guy to get a thrill visualizing Michelle barking her bullshit while being teabagged.

As a straight guy, I can assure you that not even all of us find the image all that appealing.

Who on earth would put something that vulnerable in THAT mouth?
