What do Bristol Palin and Ann Widdecombe have in common?
November 22nd, 2010, No Comments
A lack of dignity and self respect. Reading Pandagon today I was amused to find out that in both America and Britain have the same problems with untalented rightwing celebrity contestants in their dance shows. Across the Atlantic, they have rightwingers voting for Bristol Palin in Dancing with the Stars to teach uppity liberals a [...]
Buy into the culture of death
October 28th, 2010, No Comments
Yesterday, David Willis, creator of webcomic Shortpacked decided to help out a few pals by promoting their book. He wasn’t the only one, this was all a part of a campaign to for one day make Machine of Death the number one book sold on Amazon.com. They actually succeeded, in the process bumping Glenn Beck’s [...]
Doin’ the Rand Paul Curb Stomp
October 27th, 2010, No Comments
I could never watch American History X because some kind soul spoilered the horrific curb stomp scene in it, in which a skinhead forces a victim to lie prone on the ground biting the curb, then kicks him hard in the back of the head. Now, thanks to the Rand Paul campaign, we can finally [...]
Tea Party morality
October 25th, 2010, No Comments
Matt Taibbi gets to the core of it: This whole concept of “good welfare” and “bad welfare” is at the heart of the Tea Party ideology, and it’s something that is believed implicitly across the line. It’s why so many of their political champions, like Miller, and sniveling Kentucky rich kid Rand Paul (a doctor [...]

Last chance to see before The Mouse removes it. Via way too many places.
Anonymous cowards smear Tim Ireland’s children. Could Nadine Dorris get them to stop it?
September 7th, 2010, No Comments
For more than a year now Tim Ireland has been subjected to an ongoing if sporadic internet harassement campaign, after he had gotten into conflict with several online Tory bigwigs. The party of Churchill being the natural home of the coward and bullyboy, it’s no surprise that some of the internet hard men and women [...]
It helps sometimes to state the obvious

Tim Wise on white privilege: Imagine that hundreds of black protesters were to descend upon Washington DC and Northern Virginia, just a few miles from the Capitol and White House, armed with AK-47s, assorted handguns, and ammunition. And imagine that some of these protesters–the black protesters–spoke of the need for political revolution, and possibly even [...]
Speaking of insane wingnuts banging on about football
June 14th, 2010, No Comments
As predicted yesterday, American rightwing pundits are once again going apeshit about football and the Worldcup. Media Matters has some hilarious examples of which this is the nuttiest: MRC’s Dan Gainor: “Soccer is designed as a poor man or poor woman’s sport,” “the left is pushing [soccer] in schools across the country.” Also on the [...]
QotD: moral authority
May 26th, 2010, No Comments
From Susan of Texax, in comments to this post at Alicublog chronicling wingnut responses to the fiftieth anniversary of the Pill, comes this beauty: The lesson I learned from Maggie Gallagher was that you can have sex while unmarried, get knocked up, and still have a career as a moral scold who tells everyone else [...]
Andrew Wakefield struck off the medical register
May 24th, 2010, No Comments
Good news for once: “dr” Andrew Wakefield, the lying liar who in no way fudged his research to find a link between the MMR vaccine and autism because he himself would financially profit from an increased demand for a single measles vaccine he had patented is to be struck of the medical register: The doctor [...]
