Original article: Condors vs. the NRA

What will Schwarzenegger do?

That has got be the stupidest question I've ever seen. That's like asking if George Bush can speak coherent English. The answer is NO, just like you know that Arnold's not going to do anything for the girly-man condors.

re: Point of Order

Us Oakland fans want the African American quarterback to play instead of the white quarterback.

What's Racist

Is running a minstrel show featuring a guy in blackface playing a Presidential Candidate.

Good For Franco Harris

But that was still an incomplete pass.

If Tom Brady endorses somebody and Salon links to the Tuck Rule Play, THEN you'll see bitterness to make sonofloud sound like Bob Ross painting a happy little tree.

Original article: How 1968 changed Hillary

Battles of the 60s

Does this answer Joan's question about what Obama means when he says he's not hung up on fighting the same old battles of the 1960s? Because not all of you boomers ended up on the same side. Some of you were disgusted by the hippies and radicals and turned into George W. Bush. The one thing that everyone in that (my parents) generation has in common is a big, fat sense of entitlement, that everybody else (the old people in the 60s, us younger people now) better shut and get the hell out of the way, because we don't what what we're talking about...

nice

Can you keep this as your lead story as long as you kept that ridiculous Wilentz piece?

Dear Salon

I think you should hire Benen to permanently write War Room. It's nice to get analysis instead of the usual campaign releases cut-and-pasted into the column. Most of us get those, anyway.

It shouldn't be a problem with the Christian Right

Since McCain's so old he had a three-way with Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

Original article: The rubes and the elites

Maybe if they stopped saying stuff like "That boy"

us Obamaton cultish-naive-tolatarian types would stop referring to these people as rubes, hicks, rednecks, and inbred submornal retards. Seriously, this is the stupidest country on the planet. To paraphrase "Get Your War On," if NOT being the dumbest motherfucker in the room makes me an elitist, well, I'm an elitist.

Wow

How do you even have job at Salon?

Funny stuff.

Original article: NBA coach caught coaching

Even More Amazing

Is that it was Doc Rivers who was caught.

@dfield

Don't forget the worst part of the iniative process: Having to deal with the mouth-breathers who get paid to collect those signatures, harrassing you outside of the grocery store.

Seriously, what the hell are we paying the legislature for if we have to vote on every goddam issue?

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 03:53 PM

Okay, You're right

I'm going to stop being so condescending to the Mountain Williams. Anyone who can count to 22 (when they use their toes) is awesome.

Annie Oakley w/a 6 Shooter

Of course it's ridiculous that anyone would sit in a duck blind with a 6 shooter. That was the point. The only time Hillary's ever shot a gun was when she killed Vince Foster.

At least that's what her buddy Scaife told me.

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 04:41 PM

@katetex

What kind of abacus are you using to calculate votes, delegates, etc? Because us lemmings here in looking glass land our count shows Obama winning in all of those categories. I guess all of the lattes and arugula are making us retarded.

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 05:51 PM

Get off me, Pa! You're crushing my smokes!

Besides, I have to go vote for Hillary against that half-colored muslim.

Now THAT'S classy!

Thursday, May 22, 2008 03:16 PM

What about Hillary?

I mean, why are you guys so anxious to kick her out? There's still votes to count and besides nobody really wants to vote for that empty suit crypto-muslim black radical sexist hot boy sepia brad pitt.

There. It's been said, let's move on.

Tuesday, May 27, 2008 02:16 PM

Is this a parody?1

No, really. Is it?

Wednesday, May 28, 2008 09:10 AM

Nice Headline

Why is McCain's taint subprime? Did he get melanoma there, too?

Is there a better metaphor for the Clintons than Ricky Martin?

Washed-up, 1990s has-beens.

Friday, May 30, 2008 11:41 AM

What a Joke

So, a white person who is married to a former President of the United States, has a net worth of over $100 Million, cannot beat a black guy whose name is HUSSEIN, because the media is sexist?

For Christ's sake, this is the dumbest fucking country on the planet. And that makes me a member of the stupidest fucking party in the dumbest fucking country on the planet.

For the first time in my adult life, I'm actually Ashamed to be an American right now.

ShawnWM: That was Michael Jordan

Not Obama. Hence the largest divorce settlement ever for Juanita Jordan.

I know all black guys--especially charismatic black guys who got famous in Chicago--look alike to you hardworking white workers, but even you probably have access to espn.

Saturday, May 31, 2008 04:40 PM

Umm

what exactly is factually incorrect with what is being said?

Saturday, May 31, 2008 10:04 PM

Kate Tex, ShawnWM, etc, just say it.

You know want to drop an N-bomb.

Just say it.

You people make me really sad.

Tuesday, June 3, 2008 03:39 PM

Comeuppance

Because that's exactly what this election is about, isn't it Kate? Give the uppity negro get his well- deserved comeuppance?

Fuck it, you've convinced me. I've always liked the underdog, anyway.

HILLARY '08/12!

Original article: McCain his "own man"

Temper

How long into the first debate w/Obama does he get pissed and drop an N-bomb on Obama? This is the man who used the C-word on his own wife...set the over at 25 mins and take the under...

Original article: Bush congratulates Obama

@Phoning in

The last president I remember calling the winning team was Reagan. At some point the trophy presentations and celebrations were moved on-field, in front of the crowd, instead of in the locker room. Although now the coaches and players all have cell phones so I don't know why they don't start that up again.

Wednesday, June 4, 2008 11:46 AM

Okay, but broadcast them in Hi Def

Seriously, the Crypt Keeper with his yellow-ass teeth standing next to Barack?

Are kidding me? McCain in HiDef will give people's kids nightmares.

Thursday, June 5, 2008 03:21 PM

No Jinxing, please.

Actually, I think the Lakers will win in 5, too. Look at they both got there: The Celtics didn't win a game on the road until the 3rd Round. They let a #8 seed with a losing record take them to 7 games.

Doc Rivers vs. Phil Jackson is to coaching was "Monster" Charlize Theron is to real-life Charlize Theron in a game of "Who'd-you-rather?"...

Sexy Shorts

It's Michael Jordan's fault they don't wear the John Stockton shorts anymore. His weren't even that baggy...but the Fab Five rocked it.
