Remember when Chrysler was America’s #3 car company, run by the can-do fraudery of Lee Iacocca, and not some terrible money pit owned in equal parts by Barack Obama and the Italians? Now it is exactly the sort of communist foreign enterprise that the “Tea Party,” the most important movement in American politics, is most [...]
Texas’ 22nd district gave America its greatest statesman, Tom DeLay, and then seven glorious weeks of Shelly Dracula Cunt, but since then its representatives have been a little on the dull side. How are we going to fix this? Local Democrats are doing their part; they nominated a lady who is a Lyndon LaRouche devotee, [...]
Sarah Palin didn’t even have a passport before 2007, and the only non-America places she’s ever been to are Canada (“America del Norte”), Mexico (for body shots at Señor Frog’s), and U.S. military bases in Germany and Kuwait. Like many an American, she’s trying to slowly work her way up the ladder of exoticness, so [...]
Here is a fun thing about old-school Conspiracy Theories: They were often true. The Bilderberg Group was, until just a couple of years ago, dismissed by the Lame Stream Media as some kind of crazy fiction — but the terrifying reality was that the news companies were all in on it, for decades, so the [...]
If beloved departing Wonkette editor Jim Newell can be said to have made one enduring contribution to the American collective political consciousness, it’s the way he made hatred of the British “fun” again. Before he came onto the scene, nobody was using the slur “lobsterback,” and now kids all over the country taunt their more [...]
BREAKING: FOREIGN POLITICIAN HAS COMICAL NAME: Gordon Brown’s Schools Secretary (aka “Britain’s Lamar Alexander”) has announced that he will enter the race for the Labour Party leadership, to be held this fall. Unfortunately, David Cameron and Nick Clegg’s proposal for fixed-term parliaments means that it will be at least five years before Jolly Olde England [...]
ALSO, UH, THAILAND IS HAVING A CIVIL WAR? EH, BORING: Here’s the BBC news front page from earlier this morning, as sent in by a sharp-eyed Wonkette reader. Those cheeky Brits did some kind of trans-Atlantic gender reassignment surgery on ol’ Arlen Specter! (When pressed, they will blame this on “volcanic ash.”) Would Pennsylvanians have [...]
So you’ve probably been thinking throughout this whole gulf-destroying oil spill business: Isn’t there, like, some kind of meddling bureaucratic government agency that’s supposed to make whiny liberal complaints about potential environmental apocalypse when someone asks to set up an offshore drilling rig? Turns out that, whoops, there is, and they have been, but the [...]
It’s official, long live Her Majesty’s Saucy New Rabbit-Goblin, good luck poor folk and chavs everywhere! Margaret Thatcher is literally dancing in her grave! [BBC/Guardian]
GORDON BROWN TO QUIT FOR LABOUR/LIB-DEM SEXYTIME: As mentioned in the post below, Posh-Ponce David Cameron couldn’t make a Tory/Lib-Dem deal, so now Nick Clegg is having romantic talks with Labour, and Gordon Brown just said he’d step down as Prime Minister so that Labour and the Lib-Dems can make a Shared Government against the [...]
David Cameron is just like us! He dressed like a forest animal for a school play … along with Prince Edward. And that’s how Young Davey first met his royal highness and actual cousin, Queen Elizabeth II. (Posh Davey is the illegitimate-royal great-great-great-great-great grandchild of King William IV, while Cameron’s wife is the direct descendant [...]
As the mists rising from vomit-filled gutters all over the United Kingdom were chased away by the feeble northern sun, bleary-eyed drunken yobs all over the island awoke to discover that the votes they had cast the previous day on a lark had resulted in no clear winner. David Cameron, the posh Tory whose youthful [...]
How’s the polling going over on the crime-ridden alcoholic colony known as the British Isles? Not too good! Here are some actual news reports from Queen Elizabeth’s version of CNN, “the Beeb,” about how nature/fate is treating the various sods running for election today: Labour candidate Joe Benton “had the tip of his finger bitten [...]
Why do we care at all about the UK election taking place today? Aren’t the British to blame for our whole Tea Party problem? And didn’t those curry-spewing lobsterbacks burn down the White House that one time? Well, today we will let bygones be bygones, because the UK elections are really the only foreign politics [...]
Did you know that our former colonial overlords, the British, are having an election tomorrow, for their Parliament? (If you’re confused, football : soccer :: Congress : Parliament.) It has been an exciting three-way race between the glib, slappable Conservative David Cameron, the earnest, wonky Liberal Democrat NicK Clegg, and hopeless self-loathing Labourer Gordon Brown. [...]
