A List Mofo Me

I have been Officially Recognized for Excellence in Tweeting.

Huzzah.

One supposes.

Rest of Country Not Doing That

 

Didn't See THAT Coming

Welll, damn -- just when I thought Lindsey Graham was completely deprived of a conscience or brain-stem, out he comes with a gen-you-wine Valuable Insight:

I gather that Levin doesn't like Graham very much, probably because Graham made off with his Preciousss.

But to hell with that -- you just have to defer to Graham on the subject of South Carolinians' abject stupidity. After all, they elected him. And they might well be a-hankerin' to dump his closet-lovin' ass in a primary featuring an even viler mouthbreathing cracker!

Ritz Crackers Are Delicious

Curses. That crafty Ben Shapiro has outfoxed us again.

A nonprofit group that bills itself as a right-wing version of Media Matters for America launched Monday with calls for boycotts against companies that advertise on PoliticsNation With Al Sharpton, a show on Comcast-owned MSNBC.

The group is called TruthRevolt, and the first advertiser it is targeting is Ritz Crackers, which a petition that was quickly signed by more than 1,000 people Monday morning says is footing "the bill for vile racial demagoguery" with its sponsorship of the Rev. Al Sharpton's show.....

Radio talk show host Ben Shapiro, who is also editor-at-large of Breitbart News and author of the book Primetime Propaganda, created the concept of TruthRevolt and runs it. He said Ritz Crackers earned the designation of becoming the first company to be targeted with a boycott because of its claim, made to TruthRevolt, that it only sponsors "tasteful, believable television programming."

Well, to be fair, nobody ever said the Breitbart twits would never go after crackers.

Friday!

Twitter CAN be fun!

 

MAS.

 

 

News-Worth Oaf

I have to say, I was bitterly angry after reading that Putin NYT op-ed today. Totally livid. Absolutely furious. Made me want to vomit, even.

I mean, for a second there, I thought they'd fired Tom Friedman and got someone whose world-view might be equally batty, but who could at least write.

What's the NYT going to do to me to next? Give Courtney Love a few hundred words and make me think they'd finally found an upgrade for MoDo?

MAS. Funny how it takes some folks an NYT op-ed dissing "American exceptionalism" to get fed up with Putin, never mind his own wars, and the disgusting human rights record. (Do you even need links...? I have them, but please.)

Trouble In Madison

As there's an entire Althousery category here, I believe it's my duty to the iNternet to use said category to note that there's trouble in Madison, at the Althousehold. (Or is that the Meade Mansion?)

Something to do w/ comments & commenters. (Those people always come back to bite you in the patoot.) Here is Evil Blogger Lady on the case, via Mock, Paper, Scissors.

Trouble In Madison: Who knew? 

All Week, Try Veal, So Forth

Dang...

A speaker at a tea party event in Texas recently suggested that that anti-tax lobbyist Grover Norquist was a secret Muslim because “he has a beard.”

Well, shit, I guess that makes frickin' Marcus Bachmann Number Two in Al Qaeda, then.

Clean Out the Hive

So what's killing all the bees to death?

GAY MARRIAGE.

Soon there will be no more honey, and then what happens? Bears will be starving and will start eating babies. And KITTENS.

Thanks a bunch, gays.
