That's when you know it's time to retire the Hitler comparison, when it's applied to a BLOG!

This stuff is so much easier to read about in the past tense.

Just think how much worse it would be if we lived in one of them crazy countries, those being every other country in the world. Didn't Hannity do a series like that? America is the best, most perfect country God ever put on earth? Something like that.

... Washington, D.C., is buried under hundreds of millions of shoes! Bush, bobbing and weaving like a snake oil charmer's sidekick under the influence of da medicine, covered in bruises and shoe-stained scuff marks, shoelaces hanging from every appendage and orifice like the bowels torn from his many victims, still an inveterate liar and congenital idiot, says, "Missed me!"

This is one of the funniest TMWs in recent history.

It certainly has been a good year for the political humorists. I mean, you hardly have to write a joke... just quote a politician or columnist and there's your joke.

I'm looking forward to next week's TMW!

Only if it comes wrapped in a doughy piece of Wonderbread, is stuffed with plenty of dead arabs, and is drenched in lots of all American mayonnaise.

Where he was enthusiastic about telling one of his subordinates about rubbing her body with a loofah and later, falafel...

I have been reading TMW since Monica was in charge of the news.

Many fantastic experiences are scattered along the way, and if I have missed even a single strip of the entire series, it was my mistake.

This, however, is starting to feel like the start of the GREAT exhale.... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thank you TT!

the value of an artist can be asserted by the discomfort inflicted.

I can't think of a better way to describe the press and the government. I hope things in the government change a bit on January 20, but i know things will only get worse int he press.

but people realized how dumb it was to equate "national security" with "the preemptive strike policy pertaining to anyone we don't like too much". I think Obama's pitch about being overtly open to diplomacy, regardless of past conflicts seemed reasonable and well thought out. I hope he follows through with it, because that is a great idea.

You're not supposed to fuck felafel

You're supposed to eat it.

It still has me giggling. I think the smile ties it all together.

... it makes it look like kind of a stupid year, a bit.

to turn tragedy into farce. Well done.

I had worried what you'd use for inspiration in the future, but then I read the headlines and realize our culture's supply of raw material for humor is inexhaustible.

Oh, and about that blo'rielly quote, I'm sure hitler had top nazi scientists working on inventing the blog. Thank God we stopped 'em before they could. ☺

It's not "interestin'," it's "inneresting." Get it right. After all, it's the only adjective ol' W knows.

Thank dog we may never hear it again.

That everything everywhere went badly into the ditch and we'll soon be bringing back cannibalism. So you have that going for you.

Ew.

But does it protect against Ubercrombie & Fitch

And feminine itch?

Does anybody know where I can get some more of those magic rainbows?

Hey William Kristol, sage soothsayer, I need a little help this holiday season. Who do you like in all the bowl games, so I'll know whom NOT to bet on?

Complaint filed by Andrea Mackris, Plaintiff, against BILL O'REILLY, NEWS CORPORATION, FOX NEWS CHANNEL, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORP., and WESTWOOD ONE, INC., Defendants, October 13, 2004, Paragraph 65:

"During the course of Defendant BILL O'REILLY's sexual rant, it became clear that he was using a vibrator upon himself, and that he ejaculated. Plaintiff was repulsed."

People always focus on the falafel and loofah, but the much more disturbing aspect of Bill O'Reilly's deviant, perverted behavior is that he uses a female sexual device to get off. It begs the question, is Bill O'Reilly actually a dysfunctional hermaphrodite?

Clearly, Bill O'Reilly has a vagina, since vibrators are used for insertion in a vagina. Someone should confront him on this. As the rightwing continually says about Obama's birth certificate, if he has nothing to hide he should be able to answer ALL questions posed to him pertaining to his vagina!

sticking it up his ass, you know.

I know this question has often been asked, but it bears repeating. Kristol has been wrong on everything, and repeatedly so. If I was as bad at my job as he is at his- I'd be unemployed.

Buddy, you can just BET Mr. Buzzy has been up Bill's ass and back, so to speak, with stopovers on all the tourist attractions.

on New Year's Eve. The downside is that 2008 will turn out to be six hours longer.

I can't wait for it to end. The worst year since 1968.

The old fashioned way: nepotism and family connections.

It obviously has nothing to do with merit, insight, intellectual honesty...

Well, I once saw this clip of Bill O' in his shorts and if I were ever to meet that column of bombast, I'd recall that, and the column would fall.

When you put it like that, it all makes perfect sense!

How's he gonna fit it up there with his head in the way?

Seriously, I know most people who post here have a sense of that fact, but I don't know if you realize just host BUG-F*&K CRAZY your national discourse is. I mean, we in Canada also have a highly monopolized corporate media, but the level of insanity that passes for "conventional wisdom" in the US is mind-boggling. So if you ever feel like you've been taking crazy pills when you see what goes on in your media, trust me, it's not you.

to get that vibe up there, so he must have a hoochie box.

No more talk about what goes up Bill O's backside. Now how am I going to scrub that image out of my brain?? With a loofa???
