Hilarity

Ruh roh. Looks like ACORN may be getting $100 from my wingnut friend Joe C. We made a wager (I don’t forget these things – someone still owes me a bottle of bourbon from the 2008 Presidential…cough…Keeler…cough). The wager came after I made fun of those on the right getting lathered up by an article taking comments out of context to indicate (they thought) that Obama was leaving open the option of not running for re-election.

Joe C was very sure of it and even put $100 on it. Given to our favorite charity. I guess Joe could save us some time waiting and go ahead and take care of the $100 transaction. Do it all online. ;-)

Ain’t looking good for old Joe:

President Barack Obama’s top advisers are quietly laying the groundwork for the 2012 reelection campaign, which is likely to be run out of Chicago and managed by White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina, according to Democrats familiar with the discussions.

Whoops.

Here it is. Your moment of Zen:

It’s actually called FCINO (Fiscal Conservative in Name Only), but it’s been dubbed “Demon Sheep”. The funniest thing is, they promise more of this! Joy!

I was shocked to find this claim by Republican John Kasich in a recent article at CNN:

“I think I was in the Tea Party before there was a Tea Party.”

Yes. You read that right. John Kasich invented the Tea Party. Not just the recent tea party phenomenon. You know, the mouth breathing, knuckle dragging wingnut sychophant party that descended upon us this summer. No. John Kasich invented THE “Tea Party™”. The original one.

I was very doubtful until I found this archival footage of the actual Boston Tea Party:

It is tough to tell at first, so we had our crime lab digitally enhance it. I think this show pretty clearly that John Kasich did indeed invent the Tea Party™:

I posted earlier about a call from Tom Coburn to pray that someone (Senator Byrd ostensibly) would not be able to make the health care reform vote in order to secure it’s defeat.  C-SPAN catches some hilarity relating to this incident that is sublime.  Most likely a hoax, but a damned good one.  If it turns out not to be a hoax it would be some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen on video since Naugle took a golf club to a bobblehead.

Today’s adventure in title juxtaposition is brought to us by Jennifer Yachnin and Roll Call:

Just a fantastic 6 minutes and 5 seconds of Rachel Maddow (not Maddox) goodness. You will, if you are like me, enjoy every second of it.  If you are not like me and you are a trolling wingnut, then you will cringe in horror.  Yes, I’m talking to you you #tcot bandit you!

Must be Palin week. She coming to town or something?

Someday I'd like to have a #1 bestseller for failing to become vice-president, quitting as governor, and not aborting a child

Bringing this up from comments because it seriously deserves it’s very own post.  Honestly the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while relative to the teabagger crowd.

On November 14 “Robert Erickson” was introduced to the Minnesota Tea Party Against Amnesty as a Minneapolis resident concerned about illegal immigration. Sometimes the devil is in the details, as the supporters of the anti-immigrant Minnesotans Seeking Immigration Reform (MINN-SIR) slowly learn.  On the other hand, some of them never quite figured out that “Robert” wasn’t on their side:

Subtle, his mention of “European Immigrants”. Nope. Teabaggers aren’t all too bright, are they? They actually began to chant “Columbus Go Home!”.

ROFLLLLLL

Michele Bachmann’s recent attempt to stoke the tea party embers into a raging fire of conservative dumbassery appears to have failed quite miserably. Reports say there were about 10,000 at the rally. Sean Hannity of Faux News and Bachmann try to stretch that to 20-45,000. Jon Stewart…eh…not ready to let them get away with it.

…and here it is your moment of Zen:

Absolute unadulterated hilarity:

How do you deal with people who only know how to cry racist? LOL. Boy do I love irony. Beck is afflicted with conservative self-awareness absence syndrome. Alcoholics and drug addicts will save this country. ROFL. What a pathetic segment.

From Dave at ProgressOhio comes this piece of LOL magic:

I should read Dave more. Buncha good stuff going over there. He should pimp his stuff out more. Maybe he can also explain what a “Walnut” is…

LOL. This from Josh Marshall is just classic:

Once you thoroughly unfasten yourself from reality, truly all things are possible.

He’s talking about an IBD editorial where the claim is made:

People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn’t have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.

But…um…Hawking is from the UK. Been there his whole life. ROFL

I struggle for anything to add to this. The latest WorldNetDaily (which translates in the ancient Hebrew as “crazy ass motherfuckers”) exclusive:

Did Jesus actually reveal name of the ‘antichrist’?
Viral video makes Hebrew word connection to latest White House occupant

You better believe this is a WND “Exclusive”. I suppose I could report that bats just flew out of my ass and label it a Plunderbund Exclusive.

You simply can’t even IMAGINE this shit if it wasn’t right there in all it’s wingnut glory. Hell, this is making me doubt the nutloonery of the Birthers even! ROFL. Damn…

The movie has a prominent disclaimer stressing the film does not declare “BHO” [Barack Hussein Obama] to be the antichrist, but is merely pointing out the Hebrew words and their “striking” correlations to Jesus’ statement.

What? We’re not calling him the antichrist, but look at these dots we’ve connected that appear to indicate he could be, in fact, the ANTI-CHRIST!

Look out Birthers. The Anti-Christers just upped the ante on crazy!
