Barky needs a new campaign slogan; apparently, “This time for sure!” wasn’t working for him. Leave it to the Moron Horde to come up with some real doozies, among ‘em: Obama 2012: Change Is Expensive Obama 2012: Because Queen Elizabeth Really Wants A Skateboard Obama in 2012 – Because somebody, somewhere, still works in the …

Good show!
Well, I’ll definitely be checking this one out. Imagine a television comedy about an American who moves to an exotic foreign country. He utterly refuses to assimilate, flouts the local laws, beats up people who offend him (including, in a scene that shocked even me, a Muslim who simply refused to shake a woman’s hand), …

Perfect!
Now this is what I’d call treating the subject with all the gravity it properly merits: When a psychologist or psychiatrist testifies during a defendant’s competency hearing, the psychologist or psychiatrist shall wear a cone-shaped hat that is not less than two feet tall. The surface of the hat shall be imprinted with stars and …

Moron is as moron duhs
I never did understand why anyone took such an obvious dolt as Matthew Yglesias seriously. Might as well concede that his fellow Juice Box Mafia consigliere Ezra Klein is a Constitutional scholar too and call it a day. Here’s Matthew Yglesias with a quick history of American news media: The Grand Old Days of American …

Unelectable? If only
You think WE got problems? It’s a crucial election year. As another global financial crisis looms and rogue states pursue nuclear weapons, the American people are desperately looking for a strong leader to show them the way to a brighter tomorrow. So it’s unconscionable that the Democratic primaries have yet to produce a single serious …

There’s waste, and there’s waste
I’m with James. Look, I want to go back to the Moon, too. I’d be happy with a base in ten years. I wish we had a big manned probe heading for Jupiter by now. But it’s not like we’ve stopped: Cassini flies by Titan on Monday, again, and we have a craft en route …

Unpossible!
Nobody does it quite like Treacher, folks. Nancy Pelosi claims to know something That alone is reason to suspect she’s lying. I mean, what are the odds? Very damned steep. But this is comforting: I just don’t foresee any more cuddling on the couch for these two. God, let’s hope not. That incredible blunder remains …

Two nations divided by a common language
Can anybody out there make heads or tails of this? A ‘dull witted person’ is chosen as the referee or ‘jobanowl’ and the two teams decide who flonks first by tossing a sugar beet. The game begins when the jobanowl shouts “Here y’go t’gither!” The non-flonking team joins hands and dances in a circle around …

We don’t give a DAMN how y’all do it up North
A fun rip in defense of Paula Deen: From food to faith, the mythic Dixie–soulful and abundant, passionate and insubmissive–has always clashed with the rigidly cosmopolitan north, which keeps an ever watchful eye on we, her unlearned, drawling wards. Yet the northern perspective of the South amounts to little more than a crude distillation of …

Autos for assholes
Ross has an excellent list of ‘em, including: 7. Buick LeSabre You’re stuck behind a car that is signaling right, but won’t move. You’re following a car going 20 in a 35. You’re shouting at the car in front of you, which refuses to turn right on red, despite the fact that there isn’t another …

I still like him
Herman Cain was just on Hannity and reeled off a gem, on the neverending cry of “Racism!” from the usual screechmonkeys any time their God-Emperor is questioned: “They want to make it into a criticism of him as a black man, and it is NOT. It’s a criticism of him as a failed president.” Heh. …

The voters have spoken!
I guess this might be construed as telling us all we’ll ever need to know about New Hampshire and its primary: Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location — the two northern New Hampshire communities that traditionally vote at midnight on primary day — cast the first votes of the first-in-the-nation primary early Tuesday. Romney tied with …

Inside baseball
I thought everybody knew about this already. Maybe not. Listening to the radio, I heard the story behind rocker David Lee Roth’s notorious insistence that Van Halen’s contracts with concert promoters contain a clause specifying that a bowl of M&M’s has to be provided backstage, but with every single brown candy removed, upon pain of …

The Madhouse Candidate
Want another reason to refuse to vote for Ron Paul (as if any were needed)? Here’s one: he’s endorsed by, as Pej calls him, “the Inspector Javert of Trig Palin’s matrilineal line.” ‘Nuff said. But Pejman has a lot more to say than just that: And of course, since this is not a fully just, …

Jokes
Matt? Really? REALLY? Responding to a question about whether Mitt Romney intended to release his tax returns, Matt Romney, one of the Romney sons campaigning in New Hampshire, joked that his dad would release his tax returns when President Obama released some paperwork of his own. “I heard someone suggest the other day that as …

It was a very bad year…
This is the time of year when everyone is running the usual year-in-review pieces, most of which are kind of tiresome, frankly. Making it even worse than usual is that 2011 was hardly the kind of year any of us wants to look back on, or remember at all; it’s as if we skipped the …

Virgin birth?
WRM gets off a pretty funny line here: Judging by the responses of some of my students to these ideas, the first point to clear up is this: the Virgin Birth and the Immaculate Conception are not the same thing. The Virgin Birth is simply the idea that Mary was a virgin when Jesus was …

Obama is, without a doubt, the most brilliant pretend pResident the Left has ever produced
SUPERgenius, I tells ya. In Kansas, Obama lamented that millions “are now forced to take their children to food banks.” You have to admire the audacity. That’s the kind of damning observation the opposition brings up when you’ve been in office three years. Well, yeah–if they’re smart. And you, y’know, aren’t.

Give til it hurts–somebody
The holiday season is well and truly upon us, and that can only mean one thing: Dave Barry’s traditional Holiday Gift Guide. Well, two: Barry’s annual Year In Review will be up in a couple of weeks, which always ends up making me laugh so hard my sides ache. But the point is, there are …
