Ms. Gendercentric is NOT Amused

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

This is where I just lose all sense of connectedness to feminists. So Bernie Mac told this joke at an Obama fundraiser: (more…)

McCain Flip-Flops on…the Green Bay Packers!

Friday, July 11th, 2008

As a Cheesehead from youth — born and mostly raised in the land of Vince Lombardi — I can tells ya, this will not stand with Wisconsin voters! In Pittsburgh recently, McCain announced that when he was interrogated by the North Vietnamese as to the names of his squadron members, he recited the defensive line of the Steelers.

Thing is, “Straight Talk” McCain has previously written in his 1999 memoir that he named the offensive line of the Green Bay Packers. McCain reaffirmed that version to CNN in 2005. John Amato has the story.

Foul! And Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes penalty.

(Update)Tyson Homosexual is the Guy to Watch in the Olympics

Monday, June 30th, 2008

After the race, Homosexual and Dix looked at each other and slapped palms, then hugged.

Just go read the whole post — Let the Gaymes Begin — at Reason. The American Family Association dislikes the word “gay,” and apparently employs a global word-change technology so that any story they pick up translates “gay” into “homosexual.” Hence, Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay appears as Tyson Homosexual, or Homosexual, throughout the AFA’s post on the competition, reproduced at Reason. Freakin’ hysterical. Really. Funniest. Thing. Evah.
******

Update: More giggles, via People for the American Way, via Balko’s Agitator blog:

…it looks like [AFA] haven’t gone back through their archives and corrected other articles where this happened, such as this article where professional basketball player Rudy Gay is referred to as “Rudy Homosexual.”

To wit, my emphasis:

Memphis Grizzlies backers hit the hay hoping that Kevin Love would open things up for Rudy Homosexual in the frontcourt.

The AFA: writing gay sports porn.

(Update 2x) Judge Presiding Over Pr0n Trial Had His Own Site With…Pr0n — and that Honestly is Too Bad

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Per the LAT, the California trial of an alleged pornographer that I wrote about here is currently being presided over by the well-respected 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, which I had thought a good thing. But it turns out, Kozinski himself maintained a personal web site that was recently discovered to partially include depictions of the same sorts of bestiality and defecatory practices as do the films the defendant is on trial for in Kozinski’s courtroom (h/t Mike in comments below). Kozinski: (more…)

Liz Taylor Loves Her teh Gays, and the Reason Why is Now Clear

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Thoreau supports gay marriage, but is nevertheless compelled to express concern that its just having become legal in California is going to harm the sacred bonds of matrimony there, cuz: “A Hollywood marriage used to be a short-term bond between one man and one woman, until they got bored a couple months later.” Teh gay marriage may well reduce the duration of such holy couplings to mere weeks!

What’s the Matter With These “Persons of Restricted Growth” These Days?

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Texan lad shows political promise with dad’s credit card (h/t D.A. Ridgely, who via email declared that when Ralph grows up, he is going to President of these United States.) Fave part:

The prostitutes told police they grew suspicious when the kids said they’d rather play Xbox than play with them.

And now, a bit of humor

Friday, April 18th, 2008

I saw this one over at Rodger Cadenhead’s weblog. It might be a stretch to think this belongs on Art Of The Possible, but the fellow helps me out by mentioning the Constitution and complaining about Social Security. I’m reminded of the humor of Steve Buscemi’s performance in the opening restaurant scene of Reservoir Dogs, when he refuses to leave a tip for the waitress. Cadenhead posts this one under the title “This One’s for the Ladies”, a title I can not compete with. (more…)
