Although there is no truth to the rumor that
he was the Ivory Snow baby, there is some
evidence for the belief that Rod Dreher has
always preferred soap to detergent.

Texas Governor Diagnosed
with Malignant Calhounism

We've all read, or at least heard of, Homer's Illiad
and Virgil's Aeneid. The same cannot be said of
Jethro's Ponzistein, the first known instance of
Epic Fail in world literature.

Among teabaggers, there are Literalists and Figurativists.
This is a Literalist.

Some people read a dull book to fall asleep.
Others read John Hinderaker's blog.

Fox News Headline #3
'Tea Party Protesters Gird for Possible Liberal Backlash'
(Editor: "It's unclear to me if this is supposed to be a picture of
girded Tea Party protesters or possible liberal backlashers.")

Why do you suppose it's so natural for Dana Perino, one
of President Bush's press secretaries, to be hired by
Burson-Marsteller, the global PR firm headed by Mark
Penn, chief strategist for most of Hillary Clinton's
unsuccessful campaign for President? Could it be
Dana, like Mark, only got into politics for the money?
Could be.

Looking at Edward Liddy's face is all it takes to
understand why the CEO of AIG has spent millions
of our tax dollars hiring top guns from Burson-
Marsteller and Hill & Knowlton to burnish his clotted
and lumpen image.

"Game over, Norm! Game over!"

"Oh God, I almost died from that surgical misadventure.
I went in for a routine hemorrhoidectomy and some ham-
handed surgeon removed both of my hermorrhoids instead."

Assessment of Rightwing Extremism, Raises Threat
Level to 'Cantaloupe'

If you're going to one of the Tea Parties tomorrow,
you might run into Miriam Grossman. She'll be
easy to spot. Just look for the protester clad only
in a full-length mink coat and stethoscope.

Phil Spector Collides with 'Wall of Sound'
Once Too Often

"If you are planning simultaneous tea bagging all around
the country," says David Shuster, "you’re going to need
a Dick Armey."

After someone reminded him of what happened to the
'good guys' the last time there was a showdown at the
Alamo, Glenn Beck wisely cancelled his scheduled
Tea Party appearance.

Remember how Tom Daschle's malodorous lobbying made
you want to puke? Well, Dick Gephardt's lobbying smells
the same.

Did you know corporate lobbyists can buy
rightwing grassroots by the square yard?

As you know, Thomas Paine is being held hostage on the
Glenn Beck Program for the third straight day. Meanwhile,
President Obama has just announced, “We remain resolved
to halt the piracy of American history by Fox News." What
will be the outcome of this protracted standoff? Stay tuned!

Another Red State Klansman Pretends to Repent

First it was General Patton saying, "We are going to go
through Hitler like crap through a goose!" Then it was
acoustic guitar virtuoso Leo Kottke saying that his voice
sounded like "geese farts on a muggy day." No doubt
about it, the time had come to change the rather
negative 'Excremental Vision' of geese so prevalent
in the popular mind. So these fine feathered friends
agreed to hire a lobbyist who, in no time flat, had
altered the public perception of geese to the much
more positive 'Pâté de Foie Gras Vision'.

Gah! Something's always breaking!
They obviously don't make things
like they did in the good ol' days!
Must be that 'planned obsolescence',
or whatever it is they now call it.

When asked how he thought Governor Palin

looked in her Arctic Cat leathers,

Wayne Anthony Ross, nominee for Alaska's attorney
general, replied excitedly , "She was provocative!
She looked really good, didn't she?"

Why does 'hooves' (plural of 'hoof') sound right
while 'spooves' (plural of 'spoof') doesn't?

Wayne Anthony Ross, Governor Sarah Palin's nominee
to be Alaska's attorney general, has said, "If a guy can't
rape his wife...who's he gonna rape?" He has also said,
"There wouldn't be an issue with domestic violence if
women would learn to keep their mouths shut." Sounds
as if he's a perfect match for a Governor who has
repudiated the father of her only grandchild.

"Much of what passes for intellectual life on the right
today means that conservatism as a body of ideas will
not attract the best minds among the young and open,
in the way that it was often able to do in previous
generations, like, for example, my mind in my
generation."

Bobama

"Hey, kid! Leggo my Lego!"

"An Early Military Victory for Obama:" when they

saw this headline in the morning paper, the inmates

in the Rightwing Nuthouse had to be issued an extra

ration of Thorazine.

Uh, just a guess: by recruiting smokers who
collect cool Marlboro outdoor gear?

“After 10 years, I do not see a future for myself at UBS.
So I have decided to drain my brain and go to work
