Is this gonna be fun or what?

You may have seen this already, but in case you haven’t, or just to refresh your memory, this is the official logo of the Republican National Convention, to be held in Minneapolis next year:

Need I add that the fun has already begun?

And yes, this is real, not an extremely clever photoshop [...]

Hypocritical outrage over the MoveOn ad

How MoveOn.org’s General Petraeus/Gonna Betray Us! ad “crossed the line” with the righteously apoplectic Right — a “line” that they themselves feel fully entitled to cross with impunity whenever they feel like it. Glenn Greenwald explains:

For those who think — for some indiscernible reason — that it is important enough to spend the [...]

The Supply-Side Fraud: Republican Economics Don’t Work

There’s been quite a confluence of posts this week examining those economic theories that have been among the Republican party’s most-revered tenets ever since the advent of St. Ronnie of Reagan lo these many years ago. Yep, we’re talkin supply-side economics, aka trickle-down theory, aka Reaganomics (and needless to say, aka the Bible to [...]

Apt pupil

Tild sez: And I thought I was making a joke with this magazine cover two years ago.

To see the full-size version, click here.

Of course the real joke, if there is one in this nightmare, is that we’re now actually using  “enhanced interrogation techniques” described and proscribed by the Nazis.  How [...]

What Ann Coulter really is

Jeebus H. Christ on a Triscuit, are there no depths to which this abomination won’t sink? At Friday’s session of this year’s CPAC, the single most important and influential event on the conservative movement calendar, Ann Coulter made her annual appearance and called John Edwards a “faggot.”

UPDATE: Oh, why just read about it [...]

Return of the Superteam!

Over the years people have often told me I’m funny. Yeah, well, I guess I have been able to crack funny occasionally, but at this juncture in the space-time continuum there is only one thing about me and funniness that I’m absolutely sure of : I am not funny now. Either I was in [...]

It’s teh Funny!

The months since last fall’s elections have not been kind to Michael Brodkorb, who writes the local “blog” Minnesota Democrats Exposed.  First he suffers the indignity of being himself exposed as the paid GOP operative and party-directed smear merchant he is. Then (coincidence or conspiracy?) the local media outlets start to cut way back [...]

Republican’t

Last weekend I saw this sticker on a car in a Target  parking lot — in Edina, no less.  More proof of our ever-bluer suburbs, eh wot?

I like this image better than the one the Wege gacked from Peace Chicken the other day, mainly because it bypasses the X’es- on- the- eyes eliminationism.  [...]

No Child’s Behind Left

Yep, it’s just too good a title to pass up. We’ll be hearing and reading it a lot in the upcoming days and weeks and months — and a lot of people who use it will do so with a self-congratulatory smirk, like they were the very first to think it up. Sorry; not [...]

Paging Dr. Dobson

Yes, let’s do that.

Right on cue (“Right on cue”– get it? hee hee) the D-man himself is coming to town today. He’ll be the headliner at the Stand For the Family rally at the Excel Center.

It will be interesting, [...]
