wtf

An unemployed black man who made no campaign appearances, has no campaign organization and mysteriously paid his $10,400 filing fee out of his own pocket handily won yesterday’s Democratic Senate primary in South Carolina. RedState teabagger creep Erick Erickson twittered “Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha” upon learning the news, and Mother Jones quickly revealed that the new nominee — [...]

Larry David’s new cable comedy, I Am Playing Alabama Conservative “Young Boozer” In This Comedy, is already making many fans via YouTube. Did you know “Young Boozer” is a “fun name,” even if this character is very serious about his conservative what’s-it? [YouTube via Wonkette operative "Adam B."]

Ukraine’s new president, Viktor Yanukovych, had a terrible fight with an opposition wreath. At least he didn’t get poisoned and terribly disfigured (by the Russians SMERSH) like that last guy, who used to be so handsome before he was nearly killed by Russia SMERSH.

The Dow Jones plunged 8.8% at some point this afternoon, and was then down about 7%, and now it’s “only” down about 3.2% — that’s for the day, and not including the losses earlier this week — and it’s all because of Greece and the live video on the teevee of the Greek Darth Vader [...]

This is an important UPDATE from the public relations firm that wanted us to know a giant monster puppet of an old man was going to be set loose upon Washington, to eat the ladies. Well, it happened. Here is the video. Just watch the first eight or nine seconds and then throw your computer [...]

Surprise, the teabaggers don’t know what teabaggers are supposed to believe, either. A new CBS poll proves that the majority of teabaggers have no complaints about the amount of taxes they pay. Which kind of makes sense, considering the low rates they pay and the tax cuts they’ve seen this year. Also, Republicans and Democrats [...]

NEW YORK TIMES NOT REALLY CUT OUT FOR LIVEBLOGGING: “Mr. Hoyer begins recognizing ‘little punk staffers,’ a reference to a derisive character made by Representative John Boehner, the minority last week …. ” Is this a known language? [NYT]

For weeks now, several hundred people who follow New York state politics have been very excited about a possible BOMBSHELL related to David Paterson, the wacky blind governor who used to do so much blow and bang all these gals at an uptown motel. Paterson only ended up as governor by mistake — Eliot Spitzer’s [...]

It’s always the War On Xmas somewhere, which is why we feel obligated to bring you this video of … uh, a fox trying to move in on some cat food thrown around the entrance of a building? Yeah but the cat is all I do not think so, you fuck. Anyway, don’t miss the [...]

Here’s some guy, “Ben Konop,” running for something in Toledo, we don’t know what. Maybe high school president? Sure, let’s say “Toledo High School President.” Or mayor, whatever, there cannot be that many things to run for, in Toledo. Anyway, congratulations to the world’s sleepiest heckler, for still weirdly ruining this young man’s press event. [...]

What is this? WHAT IS THIS? Oh, right, it’s this … which is no explanation at all.

Somebody take this Senator Jim DeMint and give him a lifetime appointment, because he is a national treasure. He is a Poet of Words. And for every sane thing he says — he does say some sane things, occasionally! — he says something sort of astonishing. Witness his latest interview with a South Carolina newspaper.

You know how many fun things there are to do in Iraq these days? Not so many! It used to be that, if you were a man, you could just chill out in public cafes and smoke your hookahs with other mustachioed dudes while you awaited the next random suicide bombing. But now the Iraqi [...]

What is this? It’s the tragic result of 5,000 White House photographers with old-fashioned “click-y cameras” taking 5,000,000 pictures of the president and vice president (both in shirtsleeves) and the stars of the new Cambridge reality teevee show, No Motherfucker You Cannot Arrest Me In My Fucking House I Am a Harvard Professor …. Oh [...]
