Mildly NSFW. But one of the funniest drinking stories I’ve heard/read in a while.

This time to that nice Mr. O’Reilly:
Almost like real people
Bill O’Reilly
The O’Reilly Factor
Fox News Channel
Dear Mr. O’Reilly,
I’m so sorry to hear that you’re being attacked by hate sites for saying some black people are almost civilized. I have nothing but respect for you. You’ve been able to hold the same job for many years. […]

Goldilocks and Pericles, among others, have asked the question:
Why am I so obsessed with wingers?
Simple question, simple answer:
I think wingers are destroying the country.

Actually, my favorite part of the Rush “phony soldiers” broadcast isn’t the part where he agrees with the caller that “real soldiers” want to stay in Iraq forever and only “phony soldiers” could possibly come to the conclusion that maybe it’s time to rethink and redeploy.
It is, rather, the part where he tells a caller […]

“War Made Easy.” And don’t we make it easy?

Well yes; we know this. But now, in the wake of his “phony soldiers” comment, he’s trying to claim he was only dissing those who never really served, only pretended to have served.
Like, you know, John Murtha.
Indeed, Limbaugh parroted the line on the air yesterday, telling his critics, “I never said what you think I […]

This is one of the things I love about wingers. The likes of George Soros and MoveOn are terrible, using big money to influence the political process!
Freedom’s Watch? Eh, not so much.
Founded this summer by a dozen wealthy conservatives, the nonprofit group is set apart from most advocacy groups by the immense wealth of its […]

Now I’m confused. I thought it was out of bounds to criticize our war generals?

Went to band practice last night for the first time in more than a month - just no time these days - and played for the first time with Scott, the new bass player, from the band Modern Day Pharaohs (Shawn the drummer also hails from that band). Things went well, and at the end […]

Hilarious.

I stole this one from Charlie, who was the first guy I heard use it. But:
In and around the time we were getting ready to invade Iraq, you might remember that there was a lot of right-wing intimidation in the air. Anyone who said, ummm, you know, maybe this half-baked chest-thumping invasion thing isn’t the kewlest […]

Gotta love this. Community college professor in Iowa tells students the story of Adam and Eve shouldn’t be taken literally - and gets a pink slip for his efforts:
Steve Bitterman, 60, said officials at Southwestern Community College sided with a handful of students who threatened legal action over his remarks in a western civilization class […]

The Hon. Dr. St. Rev. Bradley S. Rocket tells us that in order to offend Michelle Malkin, we must wear leather and drink Miller beer. But you had plans to do so anyway.

I bet this is a fun beat. Multi-gazillionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, funder of right-wing causes extraordinaire (to the extent that he makes George Soros look like a piker) is in the process of divorcing his wife, Margaret Ritchie Battle Scaife. And apparently it’s a little, um, contentious.
Scaife also happens to own the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, which competes […]

The only problem with this scenario is that there’s no way we’d let things get that out of hand before using nukes.

Tremble before the awesome widsom of the Clenis:
“These are the people that ran a television ad in Georgia with [former Senator] Max Cleland, who lost half his body in Vietnam, in the same ad with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. That’s what the Republicans did,” Clinton said. “And the person that rode to the […]

Or not. Verizon suddenly decides “Hey - maybe pro-choice text messages aren’t so ‘controversial or unsavory’ after all!”

Does Sean Hannity know about this?

So nice of Verizon to act the gatekeeper and prevent pro-choice text messaging from sullying its system.
