File Under: Despite All Their Rage, They’re Still Just Rats in a Cage

Well, the lefty blogs and DU (temporarily closed to the public so we can’t see them gnash their teeth and stomp their feet in rage) only managed to badger 25 votes for their filibuster.
So, will this pathetic defeat discourage or encourage the moonbats dragging down the Democratic Party?
UPDATE: DU is back open, and they think they won. The poor deluded fools.
Let’s make fun of them.

What am I going to do with all this Havarti cheese?

You can stop buying Danish products, folks. Jyllands-Posten just caved in

A Danish newspaper on Monday issued an apology to the world’s Muslims for publishing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that sparked a furor in the Islamic world.
The drawings “were not in violation of Danish law but have undoubtedly offended many Muslims, which we would like to apologize for,” the Jyllands-Posten’s editor-in-chief Carsten Juste said in a statement posted on the paper’s Web site.

I, on the other hand, do not fall to my knees, lick boots, and beg for mercy so easily.
I’m Jewish. I’m Texan. I support Israel.
They already want me dead. Why else would the trees always be shouting that I’m hiding behind them?
(Well, besides the fact that I’m taking a leak on them.)

Hey hey, we’re the monkeys!

(Via J-Walk)

Watch out, Frank. The Monkey Police are on the loose…

New research reveals that monkey cops help keep social groups in line.

Not having guns or nightsticks, they leverage their group seniority, craft intimidating reputations and count on good voter turnout.

Take the primate police out of a group, as researchers did, and the rest get more violent and aggressive. Interaction between cliques drops significantly.

“It’s not just that violence goes up, but a whole range of behavior involving a whole range of individuals suddenly disappears,” said David Krakauer of the Santa Fe Institute. “It’s like saying you take police out of human society, and all of a sudden people stop going to the opera, or something more important.”

The study, detailed in today’s issue of the journal Nature, also uncovered a complex monkey “voting” system for appointing the peacekeepers.

Monkey social police? Monkey voting?

I, as the proud owner of an undergraduate degree in Biology which I display proudly in some back closet, don’t like the looks of this at all.

My razor-keen scientific mind and Semitic propensity for trying to make a profit from everything leads me to believe that pretty soon there will be an all-monkey economy replacing ours. Next thing you know, there will be monkey sitcoms, monkey coffeehouses, monkey liposuction clinics, and monkey armies.

MONKEY ARMIES????

I’d better warn Frank.

Unless… he’s been replaced… oh, God, no… BY A MONKEY BLOGGER!

We Must Save the Democrats to Save the Republicans

What if your livelihood was based on you winning races, but you always had the same opponent: a half-crippled man who could barely see straight as was always stumbling into walls. Also, he drools. How much would you train and condition yourself to make sure you won those races when it took so little effort to win them because how awful your opponent was? You probably wouldn’t train at all. Instead, you’d get lazy… maybe even come to the races coked out of your mind (and still win).
This is the problem with the Republicans. To stay in power, they just have to be better than the train wreck that is the Democrats – impotent idiots who still seem to be stuck in a downward spiral. With the bar so low, what’s to keep the Republicans from being lazy and corrupt? They know any threat to vote for Democrats instead is just that: a threat. Who would be so stupid as to actually vote for one of those incompetent boobs? Right now, their main area of attack is criticizing Bush for surveillance on terrorists; they’re acting like the guy in the Dirty Harry movies who yells at Detective Callahan for bending the rules… even though he’s just trying to save people’s lives. Everyone always boos that character when he’s on screen.
Thus, the only way to improve the Republican Party is to first shake the Democratic Party to its senses. I think the best way to do that is have the Democrats sit down and have a long talk with the KosKids, the people who keep trying to drive them off a cliff as they head towards crazyville (like this lame attempt at a filibuster).
DEMOCRATS: KosKids, we need to talk.
KOSKIDS: Is it about how you are finally going after Bushitler for letting the 9/11 attacks happen and murdering Paul Wellstone?
DEMOCRATS: Let’s rephrase that: We Democrats in the leadership need to talk, but you guys need to shut up because you’re crazy loons.
KOSKIDS: But Bush is a fascist who…
DEMOCRATS: And you guys are stupid.
KOSKIDS: …and everything is about oil and Halliburton and…
DEMOCRATS: And you guys smell. You people have to come to grips with that Bush does not want to silence you people because, every time you guys get heard, the Republicans win votes. Also, the government doesn’t care to spy on you because no one in the world cares to know anything about you people.
KOSKIDS: But everything is becoming a police state and…
DEMOCRATS: We need you people to shut up; find some other hobby then being paranoid about politics. If all you members of MoveOn.org moved on to jobs in the service sector, that would be great.
KOSKIDS: But we need to fight and…
DEMOCRATS: Here’s a big bag of Skittles and a paddle ball game. Why don’t you eat some Skittles and put your energy into this paddle ball game while we try to regain some power.
KOSKIDS: But Alito is soon going to be a Justice and then he’ll…
DEMOCRATS: I don’t hear paddling.
So, readers, what are your ideas to save the Democratic Party?

IMAO: New and Improved

We just upgraded MT, and there are a number of other improvement we hope to add. I hope to color code or picture code entries to make it more obvious who wrote what, and we still need about me pages for everyone with their individual e-mails. Also, maybe the code for entering comments may be removed in the future. Plus, there’s lots of link clean ups on the sidebars and the blogroll needs to be added back in.
As for the podcast, we hope to get back to that soon. It’s a hard thing balancing blogging and podcasting with everything else going on (SarahK and I hope to have the first In My World™ compilation finished soon), but I don’t want blogging to suffer because of other projects.
Well, we’ll figure things out. Sit back and enjoy, sportsfans.
