A Progressive Political Playground |
From the category archives:
After reading my live blog of the Kasich-PalinTaylor press conference today where I noticed ads by employers looking to hire Ohioans popped up every time one of them said jobs, a fan of the site sent me this even better screen capture:
I bet Ohio GOP Chairman Kevin DeWine clicked it to see if it applies to political marriages.

Funniest damned thing to come along since Naugle took a driver to a Bob Taft bobblehead.
Hillary in the house!
Hillary in the White House!

Notice how he says “we need a woman to clean it up”. Is that sexist?
It will be interesting to see if this one gets pulled. Already 78k views. No worries though. Eric has a PlunderArchive!

Great stuff. Worth a full read.
Hillary says:
Sinbad, along with singer Sheryl Crow, was on that 1996 trip to Bosnia that Clinton has described as a harrowing international experience that makes her tested and ready to answer a 3 a.m. phone call at the White House on day one, a claim for which she’s taking much grief on the campaign trail.
Sinbad says:
Harrowing? Not that Sinbad recalls. He just remembers it being a USO tour to buck up the troops amid a much worse situation than he had imagined between the Bosnians and Serbs.In an interview with the Sleuth Monday, he said the “scariest” part of the trip was wondering where he’d eat next. “I think the only ‘red-phone’ moment was: ‘Do we eat here or at the next place.’”
Hillary says:
In her Iowa stump speech, Clinton also said, “We used to say in the White House that if a place is too dangerous, too small or too poor, send the First Lady.”
Sinbad says:
Say what? As Sinbad put it: “What kind of president would say, ‘Hey, man, I can’t go ’cause I might get shot so I’m going to send my wife…oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you.’”
Corkscrew landings and incoming sniper fire. Bringing peace to Northern Ireland! Answering 3am phone calls!
Um…no.

Please note: Before anyone loses their mind and claims I’m being sexist or misogynist, please know the intent behind the cartoon is simply this: Barack will be our nominee and not Hillary. It is not intended to imply that all women must serve their husbands pop-tarts in the morning. Nor is it intended to imply that all women wear silly hair rollers. Nor is it meant to imply that Hillary is barefoot in this cartoon but you just can’t see her feet. Etc., etc.

My wife says McCain sounds like Casey Kasem. I think that’s kinda funny. Not as funny as this, though. I only really mention the McCain thing as an excuse to post this video. Warning: Parental Advisory. Strong language. Don’t play this in an office setting without headphones.
You. Will. Die. Laughing.

As soon as I saw this I began looking for an excuse to post it. I cried I laughed so hard. Funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks! Then I got an out. A perfect reason to HAVE to post this. NAMBLA. Ya’ll remember NAMBLA right? Blackwell’s last stand?
Well, we haven’t posted anything NAMBLA related here at PB in quite a while so I thought I’d share this (be prepared to LYAO):

Holy hell. Last night’s interview on A Daily Show was awesome. Jonah Goldberg came on to promote his – if reviews from all sides of the spectrum are to be believed – complete trainwreck of a book, Liberal Fascism. Well, the interview managed to maintain the crazy. (And yes – that’s a smiley face with a Hitler-stache.)

You know those FW:FW:FW:FW: emails you get from your favorite aunt? Deep six right? Yeah, me too. Until now. Thanks Aunt Geraldine!

In a rare and fictional midnight ceremony, Jeff Coryell was anointed with the coveted green Hickmania™ jacket for protecting the integrity of the Ohio blogosphere by banning disruptive commenter and wannabe blogger David B. Hickman Jr.
Russell Hughlock, one of the original spurned by said David Hickman was on hand to award the latest “H” emblazoned green jacket to Coryell. Hughlock and Coryell were both unavailable for comment at blogtime.
Past jacket winners
Honorary Members of the Hickmania Society
Honorable Mention
Use comments for updates/corrections – we should all strive to keep the society policed and the public at large informed of the dangers to the blogosphere.
Update: It has come to my attention that there were some oversights here. For one, both Brian, Dave, and Lorraine all get jackets because PO has indeed banned Dave. Jeff Hess is also a jacket holder having claimed banishment from not one, but TWO blogs. Ambercat has been added as an honorary member by her willingness to do so in the comments. Corrections duly noted.

This is hilarious. I will not make any jokes about the Dem. Party Chair being nicknamed “The Fern”. OK. Yes I will. LOL
The Edwards camp has set up a site – www.plantsforhillary.com – that takes jabs at Hillary’s Bush-like tendency to have softballs tossed her way. You can even submit your own question and get on their email list! Good stuff.
How to Spot a Hillary Plant Fieldguide is included:
1. Questions begin with “what is your superfantastic solution to…”
2. You see folks carrying a small binder of “Safe and Approved Questions for Hillary”
3. They’re wearing a “Questions are hard – so plant them” t-shirt
4. They get winks and high-fives from the Clinton staff after the question
5. You notice that someone is holding up cue cards in front of the person asking the question
Hilarity!
Then they follow up the parsing video with planting:

Not content with a highly successful book and subsequent tour, our own Dave Hickman has decided to branch out and star in films. His first creation, which appears to be a hit, is “Night of the Living Democrats”. NOLD is a riveting film which tells the story of zombie Dems coming to get Dave and his mistress one dark and dreary night. You can check out the trailer below:

Unbelievable. First the PeeDee and now THIS! Jerid has the details on how the Columbus Dispatch is sitting on a massive story that would bring the Republican Summer of Love to a shattering climax. It seems Bill Todd is rumored to be suffering from an incurable case of Dendrophilia. What’s that you might ask? Well…um. It’s kinda hard to explain. I’ll just blurt it out: Mr. Todd is allegedly a tree fucker.
I hope Mr. Todd will seek immediate treatment if this story is true. I can understand why the Dispatch does not want to print such a story. It would send shockwaves through political and arborist circles alike…and might just cost him the mayoral race that some idiot wingnuts think is close! I hear there are “sources” on this one, so don’t laugh too hard.
In the interest of an informed public, I give you the following PSA:
WARNING: The following video may not be suitable for certain audiences. If you have a very poor sense of humor, are offended easily, eschew profanity, or would not like to view simulated sex acts with trees, you should not hit play below! [You've been warned. No whining]
OK, now you can laugh hard!

Well, not directly anyway. Speaking about the uprisings in Burma in a White House press briefing:
Q And the protests, themselves, seem to have been stilled. What do you make of that?
MS. PERINO: Well, unfortunately, intimidation and force can chill peaceful demonstrations. And reports about very innocent people being thrown into detention, where they could be held for years without any representation or charges, is distressing; and we understand that some of the monasteries have been sealed. Now, obviously, this has, again, a chilling effect on protestors, but we would ask that everyone show restraint and allow those who want to express themselves to be able to do so in Burma.
Funny; that sounds familiar for some reason…

An atheist State Sentator – in Nebraska – is suing God. Presented in it’s entirety, mostly because I can’t figure out what to cut out. (Not only is this guy an atheist, but he doesn’t belong to a political party, and has been in office longer than I’ve been alive – and I was born in the mid 70s. He’s definitely a “wild hair”.)
OMAHA, Neb — State Sen. Ernie Chambers is suing God. He said on Monday that it is to prove a point about frivolous lawsuits.
Chambers said senators periodically have offered bills prohibiting the filing of certain types of suits. He said his main objection is that the constitution requires that the doors to the courthouse be open to all.
“Thus anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody — even God,” Chambers said.
Chambers said he decided to file this lawsuit after a suit was filed in early September in federal court against Lancaster County Judge Jeffre Cheuvront. He’s the judge who was hearing a sexual assault case, where the woman wants to use the words rape and victim during her testimony.
Chambers lawsuit, which was filed on Friday in Douglas County Court, seeks a permanent injunction ordering God to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats.
The lawsuit admits God goes by all sorts of alias, names, titles and designations and it also recognizes the fact that the defendant is omnipresent.
In the lawsuit, Chambers said he’s tried to contact God numerous times.
“Plaintiff, despite reasonable efforts to effectuate personal service upon defendant (‘Come out, come out, wherever you are,’ has been unable to do so,’” Chambers said.
The suit also requests that the court, given the peculiar circumstances of this case, waive personal service. It said that being omniscient, the plaintiff assumes God will have actual knowledge of the action.
The lawsuit accuses God “of making and continuing to make terroristic threats of grave harm to innumerable persons, including constituents of Plaintiff who Plaintiff has the duty to represent.” It says God has caused, “fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects and the like.”
The suit also says God has caused, “calamitous catastrophes resulting in the wide-spread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants including innocent babes, infants, children, the aged and infirm without mercy or distinction.”
Chambers also says God “has manifested neither compassion nor remorse, proclaiming that defendant will laugh” when calamity comes.
Chambers asks for the court to grant him a summary judgment. He says as an alternative, he wants the judge to set a date for a hearing as expeditiously as possible and enter a permanent injunction enjoining God from engaging in the types of deleterious actions and the making of terroristic threats described in the lawsuit.
Now, I’m not so sure that Chambers’ suit accomplishes his goal – in fact, I’m not sure what his goal is. But damn if it don’t make me laugh.
