Welcome to a special Labor Day edition of picked-up pieces, a baggy collection of stories that were too stoopid to ignore altogether, but that we couldn't quite manage a full post on. Or just didn't wanna. At the top of the list, Tucker Carlson snoozing on the set of Fox & Friends,
If I believed that this jackass would have emitted the words "Shoot the nigger" with respect to Mitt Romney, I might believe we were getting somewhere. Where, exactly, I'm not sure.
But, happily, I don't have to worry about it, because I know he's lying.
My kids watch it some, so I see it now and again. I have to say I find it mildly entertaining. Perhaps I don't watch it enough to detect recurring misogynist or racist themes.
What I find entertaining about it is the density of cultural and pop-cultural references, some of which are pretty obscure. As they say, YMMV.
And then there are non-pacifist liberals who oppose the idea because it is a stupid idea that will not accomplish anything useful (that's the best case), and may suck us into yet another civil war (that's the worse case, but probably not the worst).
Without humanitarian bombing in Syria, this weekend is shaping up to be a total dud.
The Syrians will understand: we&#039;re not bombing you because we want you to stop killing each other&mdash;that would be stupid, and like Sarah Palin we&#039;ll sort Allah sort it out&mdash;but because we don&#039;t want you to use a <i>particular kind of weapon</i> while slaughtering each other. It&#039;s a big no-no!

Yep...it&#039;s putting it like this it makes the show seem like it takes a page from the Conservative Passive Aggressive Excuse Playbook.
&quot;Jeez...it&#039;s just a joke! Love ya!&quot;
Gee, that sounds familiar...
Also, too, he enters the WH via the front entrance. The same one that George Washington used! Oh, the disrespect!
I have no idea what this means, but it sounds kinky.
Don&#039;t even get me started on CAPTCHA...
No kidding. She makes the spoiled pro sportsballers seem like pussies.
With his tears.
Well, if you were TRUE CHRISTIANS, you&#039;d just get yourself a &quot;handmaiden&quot; like the Bibble says!
