[contextly_sidebar id="gqw7mwDS6qvL4KvtKFH34qicGadnxpfg"]It's a brand new year, and a brand new iteration of the same old bunch of angerbears in the Wonkette Comments. Our featured comments are a little out of the ordinary this week, in that the howls of rightwing derision actually had some basis in reality. It turns out that after we published
While the perpetrator of the Houston mosque arson may have been a member, I'd like to point out that he may have joined the mosque simply to sow discord and harm other members in some way, without ever being a true Muslim.
I do not say this to be a troll and unfortunately, I only have anecdotal evidence to support my point. However, the mosque attended by my in laws in northern Indiana (yes, there ARE mosques in Indiana!) has had at least 5 "false members" join their ranks over the past 14 years in an effort to sabotage from within. Beyond that, every time after Muslims are in the news for something bad (which is constantly now), they see an influx in non-Muslim visitors that sit in on services, "just to make sure the mosque isn't preaching any funny business." This is a real and recurring issue that is not well known outside of the Muslim community.
okay, since it is one of my favorites: A guy walks into a store and sees another man at the counter writing something and after reading it, he remarks out loud "you're a fart smeller!"The other man responds "I beg your pardon!" and the embarrassed gentleman corrected himself saying "I'm sorry, I do that all the time--I meant to say you are a smart feller!" The other man smiled understandingly and recounted doing something similar : when trying to buy tickets for a trip to Pittsburgh, he found himself so mesmerized by the clerk's voluptuous cleavage that when it came his turn in line, he stammered out a request for "pickets to Tittsburgh." Another customer in the store who overheard them exclaimed "That happens to me too! The other day at breakfast with my wife, I was trying to ask her to pass the salt but instead it came out: "You Bitch! You ruined my life!"
Probably shouldn't use it through, if not to avoid looking like a jerk, to keep people from mistaking you for a right wing loon. I have come across some relatively reasonable libertarians however, but Operator 99 clearly isn't one of them.
In case you are wondering where the name comes from, Wikipedia comes to the rescue:
The name of the river is derived from the French for "misfortune." The name was attached to the river by French Canadian voyageur trappers working for the North West Company on the Snake County Expeditions of Donald Mackenzie as early as 1818 for the unfortunate circumstance that some beaver furs they had cached there were discovered and stolen by Indians. The name first appears in the record in 1826 when Peter Skene Ogden, a fur trapper with the Hudson's Bay Company, referred to it as "River au Malheur (from rivière au Malheur, literally: River of the Misfortune)" and thereafter as "Unfortunate River."
Hmmm. Progressives are emotional? Hardly. Who's ALWAYS 'fraid of those ghosts? And black or brown folks? Or Moose-limbs?Well, now, that would be the right wing nut jobs, now, wouldn't it?
Some of us don't even go down to the shops anymore!

So a mosquito is a little mosque for Mexicans then?
Have a great day!
Especially when the "magazine" is a 1-inch thick wad of glossy advertising for $1,000 suits and shoes to match. That's what Vogue is for.

Karen, do you give head on the first date?
I thought the B stood for "butt stuff".
So is "Waltzing Matilda" and it doesn't have a one-octave change in the middle of the third verse.
One cannot be too careful with the dastardly Spaniard. Turn your back for a minute, and he's sneaking an armada into your territorial waters.

like the family guy joke that ends with the punchline that never fails to make Peter shit himself?
Yes I know, but it seems to fit those who like to throw it around much more than those they are throwing it at.
