Sorry for the lack of sausage yesterday, but we’re back. Continue reading
Wow! It has been a banner week in reprehensible behavior. A special hat tip goes out to America’s crazy homophobes and the voters of North Carolina who decided that they should make the hate part of their state constitution. People are neat. Continue reading
Presidential campaigns, like syphilis, proceed in stages. You have the primaries, where a variety of dysfunctional clowns jostle with each other for the fickle favor of Iowa’s pig-men and New Hampshire’s maple miners, and march from state to state in a colorful pander-circus. Eventually, though, candidates start dropping out in various degrees of misery and humiliation, and one of the candidates rounds up enough pig-men and hill-folk and rodeo-clowns to secure the nomination. Then, you enter the next stage, where the ex-candidates, fetid in loser-stink, endorse the presumptive nominee with various degrees of faux-enthusiasm.

Momof3 posted a link to “a right wing blog that [she’s] not terribly ashamed of.”
I’m always game for opposing viewpoints, but within the first minute of perusing the article titles, I knew that this was a comedy gold mine. Not because it was particularly funny or interesting, but rather that it was the same conservative tripe wrapped in a veneer of disrespectability, which is admittedly something new.
