Q: Do you own a polychromatic anti-tank
umbrella, like this Russian woman?
A: If not, perhaps you should.

What if it turned out every American today is
as insane as his or her neighbor, and that the only
difference between Americans is that some know
they're insane and some don't? If that were
the case, it would be hypocritical to accuse your
neighbor of being insane, wouldn't it? But would
it be hypocritical to point out that your neighbor
doesn't know he's insane and you do?

We're all such prisoners of the past that the ultimate insult we
can hurl at our opponents--whether on the left, in the center, or
on the right--is to accuse them of being Nazis wearing brown
shirts carrying flags emblazoned with swastikas. Is that the best
we can do? Is our imagination of evil that time-bound and
impoverished? Come on, my fellow Americans, we can do
better than that!

Will there be firearms in Heaven? If Yes, how would Heaven
be that different from Earth? If No, why would any NRA
member want to go there?

"Contrary to what you may be thinking, my grandson and

I are not wearing masks to keep our identities secret while

doing an infomercial for Elliptical Exercise Machines. No,

we're just having major playground fun in the manner of

Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) says he had a very good reason

"All I want to say is that the more I attend town hall

FreedomWorks' Max Pappas says his organization is

so grass roots it is accepting donations as small as

25¢ in order to get its lectern refinished.

Suspicion that he is a refugee from Planet X was intensified

on Friday when Randy 'Birther Bill' Neugebauer (R-TX)

pointedly refused to produce a copy of his birth certificate.

Today's town hall mobs are the offspring of
the marriage of knaves who lie and fools
who believe them.

Toxicology tests show Billy Mays had alcohol,
cocaine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, tramadol,
alprazolam, and diazepam in his body at the
time of his death. Oddly, not found in his body

were either OxiClean or Orange Glo.

For some reason, 'From Blunt to Sessions to Vitter'
never quite had the cachet as 'From Tinker to Evers

And then there's David Miscavige, the Big Enchilada of
today's Church of Scientology, who makes L. Ron Hubbard
and Dianetics sound like the second coming of Plato and
his immortal dialogues.

The Day Bambi Got Tasered

When will those who Twitter come to their senses and realize
that a 140-word-limit is much too long? Fearguth is looking
forward to the day when the attention span of the American
people will be so short that a one-word caption to a photo
of Dean Esmay being nuzzled by Z, his pet ferret, will be
considered the height of verbosity.

Sure, deploying the Green Lantern to Afghanistan won't
come cheap, but since American taxpayers will already
spend $65 billion over there this year alone, probably
no one will notice.

The story out of Washington is that only 'a handful of
Republicans' voted to confirm Sonia Sotomayor as a
Supreme Court Justice. If you're having a hard time
imagining 'a handful of Republicans', perhaps this
photograph will help.

Young America's Foundation spokesman Jason
Mattera says his favorite song is 'I Could Always

George Paz, Chairman and CEO of Express Scripts,
has sent an email to all his employees, encouraging
them to oppose health care reform. That's not at all
surprising, given the fact that his total compensation
in 2008 was $12,774,367. If you were making that kind
of dough, would you want to change the status quo?

Having lost the ratings battle with Two Dudes

I probably shouldn't be."
