Firedoglake Craziness: There is Something Wrong When I Agree with Fellow Oberlin Grad Michelle Malkin ::shudder::

Seriously.  What the…??

Thanks to all you newcomers who have come to my crazy part of the internet.  I’m swamped today with, you know, my job, but I try to post every day and it would be rude of me not to get outraged about something.  Seems like everyone else on the left is outraged for varying reasons, some of them dumb as hell, some of them perfectly reasonable.  But I don’t do reasonable.  It’s not my thing.  I don’t know what over-the-line means.  So here we go:

The whiners and the crybabies need to shut the hell up.  Just shut up.  For five weeks.  That’s it.  Then you can go back to singing your “Obama done did me wrong” song.  In the meantime?  Quit fucking it up for the rest of us, please.  Because maybe some of you have deluded yourselves into thinking that you can lie down with dogs (i.e., the Tea Party) and not wake up with fleas (i.e., a degenerative brain disease), but you can’t.

It’s as simple as that.  Those of you who are still crying about the public option, or state secrets, or whatever, just shut up.  Just for a month.  Because if your plan is to sit back and laugh it up for the next two years until you get to run a true progressive candidate, one likely picked by one of your Crazy Overlords, then you’re not helping.  Because seriously?  The chances of Dennis Kucinich or Ralph Nader actually winning an election are slim to none and I just set Slim on fire.

Disagree with Obama.  Fine.  Hate him.  Fine.  But this?  And this? And this? It’s fucking ridiculous, is what it is.  At the end of the day, Obama is more aligned with the shit you want to get done than fucking St. Christine O’Palin of Delalaska.  And frankly, I’m more concerned about keeping the government out of my uterus than I am about most of the bullshit you people are complaining about. That is not to say that I agree with the “We should totally assassinate that Al-Olleyoxenfree” guy.  Or that I don’t think the mandate is bullshit.  Hey, I want a public option too.  And maybe we’ll get one as HCR gets tweaked.  But you know what we’ll get with Republicans?  The intersection of “jack” and “shit.”

What am I saying?  I’m saying who really gives a fuck about those things right now?  At least who gives so much of a fuck that it’s all you can think, blog, tweet about?  It’s not like it’s midterms or anything.

Get it through your heads.  You are not the only people who identify as Liberals.  You’re a small section of lunatics.  And in some cases, racist lunatics: Calling President Obama “Chocolate Carter” is fucking racist. (Remember how much trouble Ray Nagin got into for calling New Orleans “Chocolate City”?); calling President Obama “Mr. Preznint” is also racist.

And for you sycophantic circle-jerkers who aren’t doing anything else but sitting in a circular formation and jerking each other off, honestly, are you going to take seriously the incoherent text speak ramblings of a person who thought it was appropriate to paint a picture of Joe Lieberman in motherfucking BLACKFACE!?

Because if that’s who you’re hoping is going to save you by plucking a Progressive candidate out of obscurity or perhaps, Lord help us, running herself, then you really should get your head examined.

No, no, no. Of *course* Fox News isn’t trying to scare white folks.

What would make you say that?

At the end of Jann Wenner’s Rolling Stone article about Obama — which you should read if you have not already (unless you’re prone to unhinged hissy fits about how “Obama huwt my feewings” and want to fuck everything up for the rest of us because “but mooooom!!! Obama huwt my feeeeeeewings!!!!!11“)  — Obama talks about his musical preferences: Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, old R&B, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and opera.

As for hip-hop, Obama has mostly listened to Jay-Z, but he’s thrown a little Nas and L’il Wayne in the mix as of late because his aide, Reggie Love — really!  his name is Reggie Love!! — is helping him improve his “rap palate.”1

So guess how Fox Nation2 portrayed Obama’s musical tastes?

Well, like this, obvs: Continue reading

Jon Hamm as Lex Luthor

It’s an old video, but can you have too much Hamm in you your life?

The answer is “no.”  No you cannot.

Levi Johnston is Running for Mayor of Wasilla

LOL1

Levi Johnston — Sarah Palin’s daughter’s baby daddy — is running for mayor of Wasilla in 2011.  That’s the job ol’ Winky McCrazy held before she was elected governor in Alaska and then plucked out of obscurity by the McCain campaign only to run the Pepaw McCain train right off the rails.

So… that’s happening.

This guy — the guy who posed for Playgirl this year (no seriously — read this post) — the guy who is currently talking on MSNBC and sounding like a total dipshit, is fucking running for Mayor.

He just finished getting his G.E.D.  His Gee Eee Dee!  Just now!  And we’re not talking about some genius who is well-read and intellectual but who, for some reason, didn’t or can’t get a high school diploma.  We’re talking about… Continue reading

Transgendered Student Stripped of Homecoming King Title

High schools are asshats

17 year-old Oakleigh Reed is a transgendered student at a high school in Muskegon, Michigan, and plans to have a sex-swap operation when he turns 18.  He identifies as a man and has undergone extensive counseling about his decision.1

He’s comfortable with himself — which at the age of 17 is a rare thing, much less for a transgendered person — and here’s the most shocking thing: the students at his high school are comfortable with him!  Instead of being treated like an outcast, the student body voted for him to be Homecoming King.

He decided to enter the contest and campaigned for a day on Facebook.  The students, apparently, rallied around him, but when it became clear that Oakleigh was going to win the student vote, the principal called the whole thing off.  Why?  Because Oakleigh’s enrollment form lists him as a woman.

Um.  What?! Who the hell cares about a high school enrollment form?  It’s HIGH SCHOOL: Continue reading

Hores and Horses!

Kids write the darnedest things

A school teacher once a month has a sticker day.  She gives each child a sticker and asks them to write a story about it.  On this day, she gave a little boy a sticker with a horse on it, his story is below.”1

This episode of The Rachel Maddow Show convinced me that Democrats really are dipshits.

Spend the 12 minutes and watch this. And then commence sticking pins in Democratic leadership voodoo dolls.

Truly embarrassing.
