Clintpocalypse Now: Democratic National Convention Open Thread

DNC 1Come and watch the tire fire coronation of America’s second-most despised presidential candidate! Bathe in the warm soothing charisma of America’s newest heart throb, Tim Kaine! Get shouted at by an old man! Boo at something! It’s time for the Democratic National Convention. You can live stream the thing on C-Span here. It’s also on the you tubes if C-SPAN is too spicy for you. Democracy in action! God help us all.

Hillary Clinton speaks tonight some time after 10:00, if C-Span is to be believed.

Crasstalk’s Official Presidential Endorsement, Now With 100% More Righteousness

A very special thank you to Ornery Babe and Cletar who helped put this endorsement together.

Listen, if Michael Bloomberg can take time out from hurricane recovery to endorse a Presidential candidate, it’s only fair for the wise and occasionally sober scribes of Crasstalk to do the same.

Admittedly, the path to this Election Day has been long-six years long for one candidate, in fact. The cost, has been excessive-more than $2.5 billion, to be precise. And on the eve of that election, through the speeches, the conventions and the ads-Good God- the ads, we must decide between two men for the opportunity to occupy the White House for the next four years.

Democratic National Convention Open Thread

Gosh, y’all, did you watch last night? Did you see ‘ol Bill knock that one out of the park? Barely a word from the fact checkers and that, Paul Ryan, is how it’s done. William, you can show me your stimulus package anytime you want, big boy. (I said William, not Willard. Settle down there, Mr. Romney. We know you don’t have one.) Continue reading

Bill O’Reilly Really Is the Worst Person in the World

Good grief. Where is that sweet, sweet, rage maniac bastard, Keith Olbermann, when we need him? Yes, this is what that perpetual asshat Bill O’Reilly has done to us — made us long for the days when shout factory Keith Olbermann cut into O’Reilly and outed his lunacy as not just the random ramblings of a stupid, talking-head pundit, but as the horrible antics that accompany the thoughts and actions of a horrible man; a pattern of behavior perfected by a misogynistic, egotistical, blowhard prick. Sure, sure, Olbermann has his issues, but there was no better historian in all the land that chronicled O’Reilly’s daily dips into the muck-filled depths that continue to buoy his entire broadcast existence.
