Nuke the News: Newt Gets a ‘Stache, Gun Control, and Partisan TV

* Gingrich has said if he becomes president, he’ll make John Bolton the Secretary of State.

Dude. He’s almost won the IMAO endorsement right there.

Think about it: The ‘stache unleashed on all the world. Countries will fear us again. Almost as much as if we had space lasers.

Though I still want America to have space lasers. Promise that we’ll build space lasers to fry our enemies from space, Newt, and you’ll get the IMAO endorsement.

* In Obama news, Obama is still president and he’s not very good at it. I really think we have to do something about it, but I hear we’re not planning to until next year.

* Hey, what do you call it when a guy shoots up a military base while screaming, “Allahu Akbar!”? Answer: Workplace violence. And I guess 9/11 was some sort of inter-office dispute. Know what I really like about this administration? How they take murderous Islamists seriously.

* Memos show that ATF officials were planning to use Fast & Furious — where they sold gun to Mexican drug cartels — as an argument for more gun control. It certainly does help one make a good argument that the federal government shouldn’t be allowed access to guns.

* Johnny Hawkins of Right Wing News has a survey of right-leaning bloggers on the Republican primary. I’m one of the two people who voted for Huntsman as his first choice. I don’t know why I did that. I guess I felt like being whimsical. This primary has been kind of weird: I kind of like all our candidates, but at the same time I kind of really don’t like all of them.

* Rick Perry’s favorite blog: Hot Gas. If only we could get him to name drop the LMBO blog and it’s “Blow Up Mars” initiative.

* Here’s another survey of right versus left TV viewing habits. The left like sarcasm and anti-heroes, and the right like shows about work and reality competitions. I think I have an idea for a reality show that could be a crossover hit: Alec Baldwin getting forcefully thrown out of different places.

* Wisdom of the Day: “If no one ever mocks you for being a Christian, you’re doing it wrong.” –Joe Carter

* You know the myth about the Mythbusters show being safe to surrounding neighborhoods? Myth busted. Along with a house.

By the way, Mythbusters is one of the favorite conservative shows. I thought they were anti-science? I guess the right don’t like science where you just have to trust what someone is theorizing but instead like science that can actually be demonstrated. And explosions.

  1. I guess my main question about Fast and Furious is: What exactly was the intended goal of selling weapons to Mexican drug lords and then refusing to track the guns after purpose?

    Heck, when I change my underwear in the morning, I have a good reason (sometimes, a VERY good reason). Has anyone ever said waht the “good reason” was for letting them buy guns, walk them across the border, and stop tracking them?

  2. I thought Mythbusters was a great conservative show — you know, all the guns and splosions and stuff — but I have my doubts now. In the cabin fever episode (during the Bush presidency) Jamie went nuts and started writing a new Constitution; last year they started the season by sucking up to Obama and his stupid idea to make the Archimedes laser work (failed). Standing there with the prez they looked like kids getting ponies and ice cream from Santa. Remember: They work in the Bay Area.

  3. I was watching Gingrich on C-SPAN last night. He’s smart. He likes being smart!

    Gingrich: “Mr. President, I’m Newt Gingrich. I’m smart. And you’re not.”
    Obama: “I’m Barack Obamama, um, era a a a a st t t t t t t st um era ah ah…”
    Gingrich: “Mr. President, you’re a stuttering clusterf**k of a miserable failure.”
    Obama: “I I I I I ah hat hat hat hat hat HATE you!”

    Romney was on first and he said we’re going the way of Greece if we don’t stop spending too much.

    Oh, great, Governor. Now you tell us! Since we’re going that way anyway – and since you and Newton there have no plan to stop it – could you drop me off on one of those beautiful islands in the Aegean along the way?

    FIFY

    I agree with Mxymaster, I quit watching when they had the disgrace from the White House on. But at least he bowed to them.

    Can we send batfe to planned parenthood?

    If you are too stupid to be a cop, you work for batfe. If you are too stupid to work for batfe, you become a community organizer from harvard.

    So if gingrinch gets The Stache for Secretary of State, where is that in line?

  5. ” think I have an idea for a reality show that could be a crossover hit: Alec Baldwin getting forcefully thrown out of different places.”

    With Stephen Baldwin doing the throwing working title “Brother Bouncer: Baldwin Edition”

    I would watch.

  6. If no one mocks you for being Christian, you’re doing it wrong? I feel like there’s an opportunity to make a Mormon joke here (mostly for the sake of being of being a turd) but I’ll leave the instigating to ussjimmy. Plus, I’ve been gone a while so I should play nicely… ish.

    By the way, if someone in Congress spontaneously diving for Eric Holder, b!!ch-slapping him and screaming, “ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME DUDE!!!!!!??????” counts as workplace violence, I might be able to advocate for it once in a while.

  7. I was going to make some sort of sarcastic remark but now I’m just trying to remember why I hate John Huntsman. It’ll come to me, in the meantime suffice it to say that your support of him reflects poorly on you.

  8. I’m with Carolyn. Holder needs to be slapped. (Of course, the narrative would not be that Holder is a lying liar who deserves public ridicule and contempt, but that the right-wing is uncontrollably violent. Holder would be a martyr.)

    Can’t someone at least yell, “LIAR!!!” during his testimony? And station an aide with a fire extinguisher aimed at his (Holder’s) pants, for when they inevitably catch on fire?

  9. #21 – HokieGomer,
    Thanks! The Mythbusters could collaborate with the crew from Hard Core Pawn to test the myth that everyone left in Detroit must be crazy, but of course they’d need the crew from Sons of Guns to come up with all the hardware they could carry to provide security while they filmed the episode. Then the guys from Dual Survival could lead them out of the wilderness to someplace civilized, like Ann Arbor. (I watch the Discovery channel a lot. Can you tell?) 😉
