Unlike this week’s semi-official “we’re concerned but you should go about your business” message regarding the swine flu epidemic, the reaction to the 1976 outbreak–you know, the one Rep. Michele “Batshit” Bachmann tried to blame on Jimmy Carter–was more akin to: “GET VACCINATED OR WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!”

Okay, NYT, What’s Age Got to Do With It?
If the New York Times had a story about how Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) is older than dirt, yet refuses to retire from public service, stating his exact age would be relevant to the article. Or if there was a piece about disgraced former Sen. Ted Stevens, nearly as old as dirt, being granted concessions [...]

No Justice, No Peeps!
Classic. For the last three years the Washington Post has held an Easter Peeps diorama contest, and frankly I’m surprised it took this long before some smartass used it to make fun of the Post. Here we have a “Washington Peeps Editorial Board Meeting,” with a deranged-looking Deputy Editorial Page Editor Jackson Diehl explaining why [...]
Curiouser And Curiouser: The Political Conversion Of An Evangelical Powerhouse
An event sure to be filed under “April Fool!” and/or “a sure sign of the coming Apocalypse”, Howard Ahmanson Jr, a reclusive Californian billionaire philanthropist, “Christian Reconstructionist”, funder of Prop 8, intelligent design supporter, and long-time Loony Rushdoony acolyte, has written a column describing why he has just registered as a Democrat.
Ok, “a blue-dog Democrat [...]

This Is W.A.R: Meet Alaska’s New Attorney General!
Like most people, I had no idea who Wayne Anthony Ross, commonly known by his initials as W.A.R, was until he was given the Alaska AG nod. According to the article I read, he sounds like quite the firecracker, and luckily for Gov Sarah, he is decidedly pro-life (he defends anti-abortionists for free), pro-gun (as [...]

Smackdown: Jon Stewart v. Jim Cramer
Jon Stewart invited CNBC’s Jim Cramer on the show last night to go face-to-face over the one-sided drubbing the Daily Show has been giving him this week.
It’s refreshing to hear a loudmouth finance blowhard like Jim Cramer speak with some contrition about the role he and TV financial celebrities have played in encouraging the public [...]

Please Someone Fix the Flux Capacitor
This week the Don Jones danced along levels last seen in April 1997. To celebrate the epic achievement, I compel you to take a trip down memory google with me, to re-visit an era when 6594.44 on the Dow signified just another meaningless number on the market’s ongoing and seemingly perpetual expansion.
Those were the good [...]

Bobby Jindal and the Geek on 30 Rock
I wasn’t the only one who thought Bobby Jindal sounded like the geek on 30 Rock! I was too busy to notice the buzz on the Internets yesterday, but I definitely didn’t miss the lilting cadence echoing Kenneth the page during the Louisiana governor’s speech the other night.

Moderate Appointed to Head Saudi Religious Ministry (no, really)

Amercans Caint Spel Gud
The British have an inexplicable fondness for the recklessly wanton and superfluous use of the letter U, evidenced by colour, labour, and the UK (ask Northern Ireland about that one).
But the London-based Spelling Society just released results of a survey telling us Americans WE can’t spell.
They just won’t give up their linguistic imperialism until our [...]

Alec Baldwin + Murray Waas + Richard Nixon = Awesome
In the mid-70s, Murray and Alex, two young and bright George Washington University students, worked diligently to hone their impersonations of Richard Nixon.
The friends would make prank phone calls in front of an audience of their neighbors in the GW dorm, battling to see who could more accurately portray the disgraced president.
In one classic session, [...]

Daschle’s Withdrawal Sends A Message
One of the delights of being a curmudgeon and a cynic is that one is occasionally pleasantly surprised. And so the Chairman was delighted to hear that former Sen. Tom Daschle had withdrawn himself from nomination, and that President Obama admitted it had been a mistake to pick him in the first place.
The Chairman was [...]

A shadowy network of rogue cell phones has claimed another victim after one of its committed ideologues exploded in the pocket of a twenty-something shopkeeper in Guangzhou, China earlier this week.
The young man had reportedly just inserted a new battery into the phone, thus unwittingly provoking the ire of the technoloterrorist.
