#WINNING(?)

Well, maybe. At least consider the Komen controversy well and truly #occupied: The Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation backed down from its decision to cut funding for Planned Parenthood, which provides abortion and birth control services, a move that had thrust the world’s largest breast cancer charity into

Submitted without (much) comment

Because sometimes there’s just no comment I could possibly *come* up with that would provide adequate snarkification.  From Rick Santorum’s website, what is presumably a money raising promotion with the world’s greatest acronym: It’s still there as of 2:45 Pacific, so the Santorum campaign must be delirious with joy, imagining

Karma’s a cold-hearted bitch on wheels

Marianne Gingrich, aka Mrs. Newt Gingrich II, is warped, bitter, twisted and trash-talking at top speed as if the world doesn’t already know what Vile Scum with Snail Slime on Top her ex really is: Marianne Gingrich said she first heard from the former speaker about the divorce request as

And finally, Quote of the Week

The last word on this week’s Seinfeldian freakout goes to Red Tory: I wonder if all the indignant liberal folks appearing on TV and fulminating in blogs that have been asserting Harper and the Conservatives were nefariously plotting to undermine gay marriage by stealth utilizing the legal system will now

Rick Santorum and the Right to be Weird

Make no mistake: the frothy Rick Santorum is weird in ways that go light-years beyond grotesque.  But when he obligingly provides so much material for his opponents to work with, I wonder if this aspect of his weirdness is appropriate fodder for televised political debate: During a segment on Fox

EwpsCNN

A leftover from the other night that was screaming to get out of the hopper: Who could blame CNN for making this mistake during their coverage of the Iowa Caucus on Tuesday? Bachmann Palin, Palin Bachmann, my daughter my sister, my sister my daughter… Does this prove the Media is

NOOOOOOO!

Fapfapfapfapfapfapfap! The Blogosphere just got a little less fappier, the Culture of Death a little zestier, and this blog a little less mocking, derisive and occasionally hilarious, as one of my favourite sources of material over the years shuts down. On the upside, I no longer have to worry about

Church Ladies Behaving Badly

There’s no revenge like Church Lady Revenge.   A couple of years ago, some Edmonton Church Ladies were in the grips of a savage altercation over a Church Gentleman, and predictably, it wasn’t long before the situation spiraled into insanity.  The chief antagonist in the dispute launched a Facebook Vendetta

Tis the season to be

…pepper sprayed??: Twenty people, including children, were injured when a woman at a San Fernando Valley Walmart store used mace against other customers in what authorities referred to as a “competitive shopping” incident. […] Juan Castro, who was at the scene and took cell phone video of the aftermath, told

OWS is growing up (OV: not so much)

Last week was a busy one for Occupy Wall Street in NYC.  Protesters were viciously “de-camped” early on before rallying to mark the protest’s 2-month anniversary with a “day of action” on Thursday that culminated in a pretty amazing march of 10,000 or so (and some awesome guerrilla projection art).
