"I Will Fuck You All in Half!"
In poor taste, as AS notes—Hillary’s racist campaign is 100% sub-Nazi—but starting at 1:15 there’s some wonderful, creative profanity.As Slow as the Slowest Thinkers
Pundits declare the race over.Gladwell? Petraeus? Friedman? Fukuyama?!!?
Clearly we need to stuff the ballot box for Samantha Power. (I’m going to pretend I didn’t even see this guy on the list.)
Denver Gets Ready
“‘It is important because if you’re driving down the highway and you saw a crash of a small spaceship and a car or a bus full of kids, you really wouldn’t know what to do,” Peckman said Thursday. “Do you wait for the hazardous materials experts to show up because of potential contaminants from another solar system? What do you do? People really don’t know.’ Peckman, 54, who is single and lives with his parents, has submitted to the city a draft of the proposed ordinance, which would require the creation of an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission.”From Little George's Lips to the Supers' Ears
From Good Morning America (as in “wake up and stop this fucking nonsense”): “More superdelegates will come out today for Barack Obama—they will come three, four, five at a time, and this nomination will be locked up.”
Can’t believe I missed this when I was plugging last week and tooling for graft. In an ideal world, every citizen is Brian Lehrer.
In the Footsteps of Crapper & Titsling
Unbeige 3.0 is going to write a book about walking in New York. It’s funny because her last name is Walker, not because she lives in LA.
Slipping at Obama HQ? I like the sea of people they’ve added to the victory map—Democrats Abroad?—but there’s totally enough room in the blue field south of Florida to put Puerto Rico (and Vieques!) more or less where they belong. Not sure how they ended up in the Bermuda Triangle. And don’t even get me started about Guam.
The grail: part one of an old Immanuel Velikovsky doc. Plus unverified Catherine Wilson cameo at 4:04. God bless skeptics, and the hivemind.
