“Gun control is going so well that machine gun-toting police are patrolling the street due to the gun crime. Unpossible.” Also from Uncle, but not the UK, Granny compensates for the size of her penis.

“President Obama’s promise to empty the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay has run into a little obstacle: It turns out the place is full of terrorists! Like everything else, this is not Obama’s fault. The terrorists are there because George W. Bush put them there, leaving poor Obama once again stuck cleaning up someone else’s […]

Those progressive, white cities!

Stacy McCain on fake victimhood.

Thanks to Ace Mætenloch for this entertaining news-of-the-weird from Wales.
Two thugs who attacked what they thought were a pair of transvestites picked on the wrong men - when their intended victims turned out to be cage fighters on a night out in fancy dress.
Dean Gardener, 19, and Jason Fender, 22, singled out the two men […]

I got up and cruised through the guide to see what was on. I found this flick called Open Water 2: Adrift and tuned in, about ten minutes into the movie. There’s, oh, I don’t know, maybe three girls and four guys in the water, right next to a yacht, screaming for help.
This, of course, […]

Have I ever mentioned that I love Kirstie Alley? I think she’s a great acrtress, especially when she does comedy. Yes, I know she’s a big time Scientologist, but I really don’t care. Anyway, she’s had enough with the Hollyweirdness, and draws both revolvers on Roman Polanski.

You’d think after losing money hand over fist for months, the idiots running Starbuck’s would get a clue. Well, they haven’t. In fact, this is the st00pidest thing they’ve done yet.
Good for McCafe, though.

See, this is what happens when you let students turn in late assignments, pat them on the head, and in general, just let them con you 24/7. The Dog Ate My Global Warming Evidence: Having Refused to Disclose Temperature Records for Years, UN’s Climate Research Unit Now Claims Its Evidence of Warming Was Just Lost.

Not to steal Uncle’s line, but Obama is obviously compensating for his small penis.
Related, and also from Uncle, is this unsurprising but interesting poll.

A racist is a conservative winning an argument with a liberal.

Depends on what the meaning of ‘tax’ is

Then check out the pics here — but when I say “horrified,” I’m not exaggerating, so consider yourself warned.

Nielsen ratings: So You Think You Can Dance tops So You Think You Can Lie

Let’s review some of the massively destructive, utterly unconstitutional, and wholly unacceptable parts of the so-called “healthcare” bill.

The “public option”
Forcing insurers to accept any applicant.
Mandatory insurance.
Tax-funded payments for those “unable” to pay.
Employer mandates.

So Obama gets up and does his little show last night, and with all of these things, Joe Wilson objects to Obama lying […]

If you see a microphone, assume that it’s on.

Baron Hill’s latest display of arrogance at a townhall in Bloomington is probably the best news Mike Sodrel has had all year (video here, if you haven’t seen it). Seriously, when a Democrat gets trashed for his arrogance in the IU college newspaper editorial page, it’s time to hang it up.

Lifted from Gateway Pundit. Charles Krauthammer nails it:

It’s a reflection of the boss. The boss also had a history before he became a candidate of being around and friends with the likes of Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers. The liberals scolded us last year on how irrelevant all that is and how it’s a smear […]

The shitbag commie resigned. For roundups, see Ed Driscoll, Bernard Goldberg, Jules Crittenden, and Donald Douglas (here, here and here). But the best recap and explanation of this train wreck is at the Sundries Shack.
His resignation letter is a masterpiece of petulance and dishonesty, anchored by this sentence:
On the eve of historic fights for health […]

Vodkapundit:
Yes, the speech itself will almost certainly be harmless. I don’t expect anyone’s kids to be coming home and berating their parents for being against this program or that agenda. I do expect Allah has it quite right, that this speech will be just another Daddy Speech, meant to encourage my son to work hard […]

Yes, we cannibal!

If you’re going to rob a bank, it’s probably best not to leave your wallet there.

Keep your self-righteous fingers off my processed food (H/T to Don Surber).

I haven’t laughed this hard in years. John Scalzi reams Star Trek “science” a new one.
UPDATE: Where’s PETA?

Ponder the st00pidity of this:
while teaching kids how to read is important, teaching kids to love to read is even more important.
Because, of course, it doesn’t matter if your kids are illiterate, as long as they love to read?

Shocker! CNN admits that Obama lied.

Here’s a big oops.
Two-thirds of U.S. biodiesel production capacity now sits unused, reports the National Biodiesel Board. Biodiesel, a crucial part of government efforts to develop alternative fuels for trucks and factories, has been hit hard by the recession and falling oil prices.
“If your investors are losing money in first-generation biofuels, I guarantee you they’ll […]

Sit around the fire and let me tell you a story — a true story, by the way — from an academic conference I attended some time ago. For those of you who have never attended an academic conference, it’s exactly as you imagine: Hundreds of egghead academics gathered together to present egghead academic papers […]

Technorati: junk science, moonbats, wackjobs, nutcases, progressives, leftists, liberals, envirowackos, democrats, idiotarians
Kind of a hat tip to WILLisms, and I say “kind of” because I’ve been a fan of the site since it first went up. But I hadn’t been in a while, so if you’ve […]

Via Jonah Goldberg, this uplifting saga:
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — A couple fighting about which gang their 4-year-old toddler should join caused a public disturbance that resulted in the father’s arrest, Commerce City police said Thursday.
On Saturday, Joseph Manzanares stormed into the Hollywood Video store where his girlfriend worked, threatened to kill her and knocked over […]

Since these Swiss “scientists” have decided that “plant dignity” is a crucial issue, it’s time for a replay of this video from the Arrogant Worms, which at the time, was parody. Now, it’s “science,” and no doubt, we’ll soon be told that it’s “settled.” Then, we’ll have idiots in dreadlocks and birkenstocks firebombing farmers’ markets. […]

And one that will resonate with anyone who has been to college. Snobbery: The last refuge of the liberal-arts major.

If you’re not interested in the issues (yes, with political implications, at least in some cases) of academic research, you probably want to skip this. Just sayin, you know.
The field discussed here, Second Language Acquisition (SLA), is a split-personality field. It didn’t exist until Chomsky (yes, that Chomsky), so it is a field monopolized by […]

Those alien abduction statistics were taken from “Experiential America: A Bipartisan Study,”; by Dr. Lucinda Porpoise Wellsley-Meyer and Dr. Robert Griffin. The paper itself is fascinating. Being co-written by a moonbat and a sane human being lends the paper a schizophrenic quality, and it ultimately had to be separated into sections because the two researchers […]

From the Washington Examiner.
Opposing the war was really about opposing George W. Bush. When Bush disappeared, so did their anti-war passion.

Definitely the quotation du jour:
Self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals in all 50 states of the union, according to the Gallup Poll. At the same time, more Americans nationwide are saying this year that they are conservative than have made that claim in any of the last four years.
Hat tip: Insty

Look, I’ve got to get back into faculty mode. Anyway, today’s “well duh!” article. Yes, we’re back, and yes, there are pictures, but no, I haven’t yet uploaded any.

Via Tim Blair comes this bit of news:
Authorities in Florida said a man charged with possessing of more than 1,000 images of child pornography on his computer blamed the downloads on his cat.
He must be an arteest.

Union thugs: Beat a nigra black man for Obama!

The indefatigable Tim Blair: Who among us has not written lesbian fiction in an elephant suit? And almost as ludicrous, from David Thompson, this gem of feminutty academese:
Informed by feminist investigations of embodiment and bodiliness, we ask: How do we understand our bodily relationship to other animals? How do we embody animals, and how do […]
