Y’all need to read this story about when Tammi’s sister shot her in the head. Because it’s funny (no offense, Tammi). [profanity warning.]

Since so many Senators don’t seem to understand we don’t want any talk of amnesty until the border is secure when told that in plain English — and they don’t seem to know Spanish either — how do we communicate that to them?
My main thought is to grab them by their collars and vigorously shake them.

Why don’t we deport failed politicians?
I think those who hold special power should face special punishment, and thus the Senators behind the amnesty bill should be deported to Mexico and their pictures handed out to all border agents with the instruction that these people are never to be let back into America under any circumstances.
This won’t be an easy policy to implement, though, as it will take either a Constitutional amendment or a large, angry mob.

Apparently, a number of Republicans were trying to ram through the amnesty bill because they think that it will cause Hispanics to vote for them… because Hispanics are all criminals who hate the rule of law and thus approve of illegal immigration.
If in the future those Republicans want to pander to Hispanics in an insulting way, why don’t they instead walk through Hispanic neighborhoods handing out free tortillas and sombreros. It will be cheaper and probably less disastrous for the country.
BTW, Allahpundit has put up the celebratory video of a humping robot since cloture failed so spectacularly.

Liberals control the news, movies, TV, and even have a majority of the blogosphere traffic, and yet all of that is offset by a few loudmouths on the radio? Shouldn’t that tell them exactly how crappy their ideas are?

A liberal Rush Limbaugh? Isn’t that like an armless Michael Jordan?

Still the liberals persist, thinking that if they can just get into talk radio, then Americans will finally accept their ideas instead of laughing in their dumb monkey faces. So they’re trying to reintroduce the Fairness Doctrine to force liberal radio onto the public (other than just NPR).
Even if they pass the bill, though, it’s not going to work. It’s not some magic conspiracy that keep liberals from being successful in talk radio; it’s that liberal ideas just don’t work in that format. Where liberals usually dominate in the media they never put out their ideas in a frank manner; they subtly put them into how they cover the news or into a movie plot — the only way such idiocy is even slightly palatable to the general populace. They way liberals talk about politics is all about concealing what they actually think: “I support the troops by wanting to bring them home,” “everyone should pay their fair share in taxes,” “I’m not saying there is a conspiracy; I’m just asking questions,” etc. They’re whole method to debating abortion is to yell “choose” and “choice” over and over until you’d think they were arguing against people who wanted to limit Baskin-Robbin’s 31 flavors to just vanilla.
That won’t work for talk radio. There, you have people very clearly saying what they believe: kill terrorists, cut taxes, build a fence, etc. Ever heard liberal ideas stated so starkly? It rarely happens outside of a university because here is what it would sound like: “I hate America! It is the greatest danger for the world! Conservative should not be allowed freedom of speech because their ideas damage democracy! The government and particularly me should be able to control all of everyone’s money! Everyone in the military is a brainwashed killer idiot and they should not be allowed to vote! They should not even exist! People who disagree with any of this should be given special reeducation until they are enlightened!”
Even liberals are scared by their own ideas when stated in a clear manner. So, liberal talk radio will either be people saying the usual useless blather concealing their ideas which will be boring or it will actually have people speaking like complete lunatics and scaring everyone away.
Then liberals will finally realize that the American people hate their ideas. And what will be next for the Fairness Doctrine?

Pretty girl at that. Ok, so guess what premieres tonight! Hey, Pauler! Oh, YES, I will be liveblogging this over at mountaineer musings (scroll down for content if you still haven’t learned to use Firefox, or if your company really hates internet security and still makes you use Internet Explorer — I know about the bug but haven’t fixed it yet).
Also, in case you’re missing the flamewar going on between Rachel Lucas and me, that chick had the NERVE to claim that her dog Sunny (who is cute and doesn’t look anything like ’70s shag carpet) is cuter than Rowdi (ok, maybe I started it just a little in her comments, but she’s the one that challenged me to the GIRLFIGHT!
Pictures of Sunny’s butt. No wait, her face.
The cutest puppy in the whole wide world.
Rachel thinks she can win with puppy pictures.
Which only made Rowdi hungry.
Keep tuning in for more. It’ll only get better.

In America, we love to root for the underdog, but America is so awesome that we haven’t been the underdog at anything in like a hundred years.
I don’t think foreigners appreciate exactly how hard it is to be us.

Via Captain Ed, here is Fred Thompson responding to the lobbying charges the Democrats are weakly flinging his way (kinda weird how both the AP and the DNC came out with that attack on the same day):

Media Mutter is after Fred Thompson now too (couldn’t even bring myself to bother to read it having seen their nitpicks before; those guys go after anyone even slightly conservative like over-anxious Chihuahuas). These knee-biters are pretty slow to come up with a coherent attack against Fred Thompson that people will actually care about, but give them a few months.

I just got this campaign e-mail from the Elizabeth Edwards, and I thought I’d share it:

Conservative such as Ann Coulter have been using many personal attacks and homophobic slurs against my husband (if that offends you, please click here to donate money). When I heard Ann Coulter was on “Hardball” I called in to confront her hate speech against my husband (to reward this courage, please click here to donate money). She then had the audacity to accuse us of trying to drum up controversy so we can use it to raise money (to reject this as a false, right-wing smear, please click here to donate money). She even accused my husband of being a sissy for sending his wife against his critics; he’s still crying from that extreme slander (to help dry his tears, click here to donate money).
Finally, Ann Coulter even said that my husband and I exploit the death of our son for political purposes. That is perhaps the worst of her personal attacks, as our sons death is a tragedy we hate to recount. I can still remember his last words: “Please click here to donate money.”
Help us fight back against these right-wing smear merchants by clicking here to donate money.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Edwards

Do you think if I’m good and pray real hard, John Edwards could be the Democratic nominee for President? That’s the sort of thing that could really help a political comedy site hit it big.

If a Fairness Doctrine is passed, will they be able to come up with a liberal version of IMAO?
Sadly, no.
