I’ve always wondered whether “Brownbacking” is kind of like “barebacking” with a full load.

I’m late to this party, but here’s my best effort.

I’m still wearing my “Reporting for Duty” hoody from 2004.

Computer, Earl Gray, hot.

Only Captain Picard can save us now, and possibly his pale gay android, Data.

Laurie Coleman is the final Ceylon !

Somehow this made me laugh outloud:

So does Brownback now have to bribe himself to fill the senate seat?

DeLand DeLakes December 17, 2008 at 4:14 pm

Have you seen this Earl Grey guy’s credentials? All of his recent cases have involved defending the rapey football players of the great state of Minnesota. Is Laurie finally ready to prosecute Norm for the events that resulted in their marriage?

Naked Bunny with a Whip December 17, 2008 at 4:19 pm

They named a state after the band Kansas? Weird.

I used to like AmericaBlog back when Aravosis actually researched stories before posting his shrill diatribes.

[re=201289]catsquatch[/re]: Your Blingee! is uncluttered and tastefully done. That shit doesn’t fly here. Campbell should have an eye patch and a “GANGSTA” dookie chain. I don’t see a semiauto in her hand, either! I notice a glaring absence of rotating/exploding STARBURSTS in the back ground, also.

Rick Warren? Jeebus, who’s going to recite the poem? Rod McKuen?

Stop pandering to these fucking jesus freaks, there is nothing to gain.

Rick Warren- oh, good, I can recycle my booing from the last inaugural- and I thought it was going to be all rainbows and unicorns- and the reflecting pool as the National Toilet.

4tehlulz December 17, 2008 at 4:35 pm

[re=201310]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: What’s funny is that he still manages to be about two days behind everyone else.

Barry’s trolling with Rick Warren. But who is he trolling? TEH LEFT? or Rick and his followers?

S.Luggo December 17, 2008 at 4:36 pm

Why is Blackwater being let go? I thought that it met it’s quota of dead towelhead women & children. Or is the State Department getting all fussy and refusing to count kids under 6?

Monsieur Grumpe December 17, 2008 at 4:41 pm

It’s Laurie Coleman’s last ditch attempt of achieving celebrity status. Way to lawyer up looser.

queeraselvis v 2.0 December 17, 2008 at 4:41 pm

[re=201313]ella[/re]: No no. Barry will reanimate the corpse of Sylvia Plath as an appropriate counterpoint to Warren’s purpose-driven bullshit.

Naked Bunny with a Whip December 17, 2008 at 4:49 pm

Why is Blackwater being let go?

Barry’s gonna start the draft!!!! AAAAAHHH!!!

I hope they don’t draft 38 year old naked furries.

lazyb December 17, 2008 at 4:52 pm

What, no Farrakhan?
Rick Warren is the king of douchetards and I will now try to forget that Barry picked him for anything.

@catsquatch: Faster internet service for surfing the net?

SayItWithWookies December 17, 2008 at 4:59 pm

Rick Warren supported Prop 8? Oh, wait — I guess 13-year-olds wouldn’t be marriageable regardless of their gender. Okay, that makes sense now.

assistant/atlas December 17, 2008 at 5:12 pm

I hope Rev. Wright Youtubes what he would have said. We might get 20 Georgians (the kind from the south, not the good kind) to protest

WTF, Hopey??!!
Rick Warren? Really?
Way to be inclusive! Damn!
I hoped you were different. (Stupid me!)

Too sick (inside) to snark.

catsquatch December 17, 2008 at 5:42 pm

[re=201401]assistant/atlas[/re]: I’m sure that’s more of what Obfuscator had in mind. Layers of shinee to highlight Campbell’s flawless complexion.

Borat December 17, 2008 at 5:44 pm

[re=201301]DeLand DeLakes[/re]: All those sexytime cases and none of them gayz? Maybe Mrs Norm has a new challenge for Earl Grey and new source of non-football GOP clients

DeLand DeLakes December 17, 2008 at 5:53 pm

[re=201456]Borat[/re]: Blllleeeeeaaacchhhhh. Trust me, I run with Twin Cities homos and there is not a one among them with enough self-loathing to bed Norm. (Ah, the reason for hosting the RNC and bringing tons of self-loathing Log Cabin Republicans to St. Paul is suddenly so clear to me.) It’s a pity that they didn’t hire this sexytime lawyer to help out Normie’s dad while the dirty old man was still alive:

Borat December 17, 2008 at 7:36 pm

[re=201469]DeLand DeLakes[/re]: If you’re 81 years old and still gettin’ it up, especially with the sub-40 crowd, you have a waiver to get laid anywhere you please. My only question is if the pizzera scent is arousing? Maybe we can bottle it? I split with you 50/50, but I get exclusive rights over the trannie crowd.

OzoneTom December 17, 2008 at 10:33 pm

Indian and Ceylon teas? I always felt that the distinguishing characteristic of Earl Grey was that it is dosed with the oil of bergamot oranges. The Bigelow tea folks even make a Green Earl Gray, but I doubt that that is the one who will be representing Mrs. Coleman.

Earl Grey is popular because it is evil, as I discovered when leaving a plastic spoon in a bag of Todd & Hollands Triple Bergamot for a few minutes and found that it had started to dissolve.

DeLand DeLakes December 18, 2008 at 5:52 pm

[re=201580]Borat[/re]: You should have heard Norm talk about his Dad’s actions- he made it sound like the old dude raped a pony at a child’s birthday party. As for your business proposal: Norm’s dad happened to bang that waitress in the alley of a very popular pizza place, so as long as I get all net profits from non-tranny members of the Twin Cities, you got a deal.
