Posted by on

The winner of the Nuking Politics Straight Line Challenge is the author of List #1, which received 54% of the votes…

Keln.

Congratulations, Keln. Bacon and bragging rights to you, sir.

Although it bears mentioning that Anonymiss had the best line of the whole bunch, so perhaps Keln shouldn’t get too comfortable…

White House Fashion, Turn to the Left. Fashion, Turn to the Right

Posted by on

In an apparent attempt to distract us from all the scandals, the Washington Post has done an important story about the White House Counsel’s fabulous shoes.  However, the story didn’t scratch the surface about all of the interesting shoe trivia related to this administration:

  • Joe Biden has a whole closet filled with Velcro shoes that are too complicated for him to figure out how to wear.
  • Surprisingly, Barney Frank has a large shoe collection, many of them still filled with the trussed gigolos.
  • The only shoes Barack had while living in Kenya were bathed in the blood of the infidel.
  • Barack has to have his shoes specially cobbled for him because even his feet are both extremely left.
  • Menendez keeps a shoe from each escort as a trophy.
  • Nancy Pelosi has a pair of shoes she uses only for special occasions that are made from the leathery skin left over from her facelifts.
  • As a result of the sequester, Michelle hasn’t had to cut back on her shoe budget at all.
  • All of Keith Ellison’s shoes have a secret bomb compartment in the heel.
  • Like the Kenyan long distance runners, Jay Carney has stopped wearing shoes to press briefings because he feels it allows him to flee the podium in shame and ignominy much more quickly.

So, Holder Is Still Here?

Posted by on

So why is Eric Holder still around? I mean, it was ridiculous he survived Fast & Furious.

US: “So the Department of Justice is selling guns to Mexican drug cartels?”

HOLDER: “Yeah, but I don’t know about any of that.”

US: “But you are head of the DOJ, right?”

HOLDER: “Yeah, but that doesn’t mean like I know… what’s going on in it.”

And now there’s the search warrants on journalists for doing journalism.

US: “So why are you going after journalists?”

HOLDER: “I don’t know anything about that.”

US: “But here is your signature on the search warrant.”

HOLDER: “Well… anyone could have written that. An X is easy to forge.”

Well, hopefully we’ll finally find out if there is actually a limit to how incompetent you can be and still be an Obama cabinet member. Holder is actually below Hagel and Kerry, and we assume at some point there is a floor, but who knows. It took someone being a Communist truther to lose a czar position. The best and brightest in the Obama administration are the few White House light bulbs they forgot to replace with CFLs.

Random Thought: Arrested Development, Generation X, and Chirps

Posted by on

I’m apparently the only one who didn’t hate the second episode of the new season of Arrested Development. I just remember being entertained by it.

I just don’t understand why a kind and loving God would make so many atheists such obnoxious jerks.

Born in ’79, I’ve never been sure if I’m in Generation X or not. What are the symptoms to look for?

Humble Indie Bundle really good this time — in fact, I had already purchased a number of those games.

So new Arrested Development episodes and Dan Harmon in talks to return to Community; now I’m just waiting for some Firefly news…

We should just be happy for American portions. We still have more than twice as many episodes of Firefly than we do of Sherlock.

Tracking down the chirping smoke detector is the most infuriating thing ever. I think I’d rather die in a fire.

Pulled down every smoke detector looking for it. Was the carbon monoxide detector plugged in the guest room. Forgot about that one…

So my new son just sleep and eats all day. Then again, he has no job and few responsibilities.

I guess I had really low expectations for Arrested Development season 4 – like DVD bonus feature quality – which is why I’m not as down on it as most people.

The IRS is targeting the right, the DOJ is after journalists, and Transformers 4 is filming but Obama claims he has nothing to do with it.
