Misogynist of the Day

Some stupid bitch in FL. Jesus on a cracker, what the hell is wrong with some people? I’ve got an idea: how about “The Duty Hole Monologues?” Or, “Queefings of a Bearded Taco?”

Your Preznit Speaks

File this under thank god Holden does it so I don’t have to. I know it’s bad, but sometimes I just have to remind myself that yes, Virginia, this is real life and not a comic book in which Bizarro is President:

Chimpy was in Saint Louis today blathering on about renewable energy and, despite the best efforts of the Secret Service, he was actually heckled.

THE PRESIDENT: Oh, I’m sure there are some people out there saying, well, you know, he’s just dreaming. Well, I’m just listening to the dreamers who happen to be good, smart, capable people who know what they’re talking about —
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Out of Iraq now! Out of Iraq now! Soldiers are not renewables!  Read more
