This Instapunk guy

He sticks his foot in the door for attention by starting out like he's some kind of smart assed Lenny Bruce, and then layer by gradual layer, he lays out the aganda of the other, that he would wish you out in the blogoshere, to share in his enthusiasm of otherizing. And what's this? Islam is the new nigger? What's next years nigger, and do I wanna know?

Sparx

She's gonna slog it out just to show us. I'm really fed up with the whole foolshness of what has come down to a food fight.

deeper truth

The deeper you go, the deeper the shit you dig yourself into. Bury your B.S. in the backyard and be done with it. You split so many hairs you should be bald by now.

Original article: Bomb, bomb Iran?

ahartnack

How about if I drop YOU on them instead asshole? Get some hope or go piss up a rope.

Sunday, March 23, 2008 01:04 PM

And just think...

Maybe if we get the Clintons again we can bomb another Sudaneese pharmaceticals factory, when we really should have been looking for bin-Laden's hiding hole. The truth gets deeper...

'98?

Nairobi? Nobody remembers? Our first brush with bin Laden. What did we get three years later?

Sunday, March 23, 2008 01:13 PM

At 3 A.M.

The Clintons were looking for a marriage councilor.

Question:

Do Instapunk and the Unibomber share the same cubicle?

Original article: I Like to Watch

My wish:

That a giant storm comprised of shit would fall on all of those assholes on the photo at the front of this article. Those folks aren't the kind of wildlife I'd like to watch on T.V., those are the kind of people I would enjoy watching fall into the jaws of death.

It's just omnipresent

There's always more punditry than just straight reporting. The word pundit is an Indian word derived from Sanskrit, which is meant to mean a learned person. I don't know how learned most of our pundits are, most of them seem to be more prejudiced and selfinvolved than actually learned and objective about anything much. They seem to be selfish swamis who have their very own crystal ball ambitions, to fulfill and foresee whatever interests and agendas are attractive to them personally.

odog

You are a pathetic pup..put it to yourself once, put it to yourself twice, put it to yourself THREE times, put it to yourself in any order or combination of cockeyed ways it pleases you to, but please find your parents, and push off.

Cripes!

Is this the kind of dog that ordinary people have to deal with on a daily basis?

Sunday, March 23, 2008 05:11 PM

One trick dog

You think your bark is bad, but best not mess with the manos, cos my hands of fate, have felled both small and great.

Shawn

There should be plenty space here for you to monopolize the whole board with your bountious brown nuggets of bowel movement...go get'em Sluggo!

Sunday, March 23, 2008 08:08 PM

Huh?

There'll be blood? we're gonna have a street fight to decide who wins the nomination? How novel!

Sunday, March 23, 2008 08:20 PM

Joan

You sure have released a whole lot of ugliness over Obama's grandmother.

Monday, March 24, 2008 09:20 AM

Joe is Hillary's kinda guy

And they're made for each other.

Original article: This Modern World

Yep Tom

That's the state of the union of today.

Call it a campaign Clinton

The Wright Controversy

Is some of the silliest star spangled stupidity to be seen in some time. It's better than Ringling Bros., only there's no bear on a unicycle, which is kind of disappointing.

Monday, March 24, 2008 07:15 PM

typical: one of a type

Joan's remarks? Pretty typical.

Monday, March 24, 2008 07:26 PM

It's already beyond too much

The wright controversy as rewritten by the carnival barkers of the republican three ring circus, is like a sleazed sideshow of pin the tail on the nigga preacher.

Monday, March 24, 2008 07:46 PM

Kasimira,

I'm certainly sure I could hear much saner speech inside the walls of any of America's most prestigious insane asylums.

Monday, March 24, 2008 11:07 PM

just a realistic observation...

9/11 didn't happen because some American politicians were just doing some serious jaywalking in the middle east, and if it makes some people uncomfortable to hear that pointed out, then I pity the "patriotic" fools, and they sould be uncomfortable at just how ignorant they really are.

Monday, March 24, 2008 11:24 PM

Thanks Uncle Fester

Lots of Americans think that King was just always a docile and domesticated "house negro." He wasn't, he spoke some plain truth that plenty of people didn't want to hear.

Monday, March 24, 2008 11:48 PM

Poor Rev. Wright

If only he'd stayed a silently satisfied house negro, and not talked about the dirty dealings of chickenhawks coming back home to roost, raining hell down on all of us. I hear ya Rev. Wright, but most of America seems to have heard all of some three seconds of your sermon, and have signed, sealed, and sent in their verdict, without seeing the broader scope of anything you said.

Surely you don't mean the Manson family?

Original article: Seduced by the Dalai Lama

"Seduced by the Dalai Lama"

I was seduced by the Dalai Lama and had his secret love child.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 09:17 AM

What in Hillary Clinton's past reusume..

...points to her as doing anything other than gobbling pac money up like a greedy hog?

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 02:49 PM

Wright's not the problem

The put-on patriots are. And they're havin' a harder time than ever before for putting on their case.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 03:07 PM

I wish that patriotism could act as...

...a laxative to the people, rather than an opiate, because it is clear that many of the people are still more full of fuckin' shit than I'd figured they'd be after five years of war in Iraq.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 03:17 PM

Mayor MacCheese endorces McCain

Macdonald land rejoices!

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 03:28 PM

The problem is:

Passing puffed up pride in place of true patriotism is what landed many myopic Americans this endless war in Iraq. Pride is what preceeds the fall, and patriotism is a sense of national purpose, that binds us all. An Excess of ugly pride ain't no substitute true love of one's country.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 04:03 PM

Hillary's

...is some of the hollowest hubris ever. Her patroitic mission to risk life and limb in the Balkans has been proven to be a baldfaced lie. Put-on patriots can't put-on the people forever. She has shit all over her face for this fabrication of the true facts.
