Wingers In My History (Mount Vernon Edition)
November 29th, 2008

As I noted earlier, I went to Mount Vernon, George Washington’s estate. It was quite fun and I’ve got some pictures here. What was kind of interesting for me was the conservative influence on the place. It’s not overt by any stretch and doesn’t take away in any respect from the historical import and effect [...]

If, God forbid, Chris Matthews runs for senate and wins the Dem primary, I think I’ll support and donate to Arlen Specter. We have more than enough idiots in congress as is.

I’m visiting Washington’s estate at Mount Vernon in VA today, and I’m always stunned by people in line talking history when they have no clue. I heard one lady asking her friend if Washington died in office.
Really. Would it kill America not to sleep through history class?

Britney Spears In Rolling Stone

Look, I don’t know who the PR wizard is behind the rollout of Britney Spears‘ new album is but he or she is doing a masterful job. It’s like pre-meltdown Britney is back. But with the added benefit of knowing that any second she could pull out an Uzi and take out the entire crowd [...]
Elections Be Damned, Conservatives Preserve The Stupid

Yesterday on CNBC conservative icon, activist and inside man Grover Norquist blamed the economic meltdown on the election of a Democratic congress. He did so with a straight face, apparently totally serious about it and in no way working in the employ of Ashton Kutcher for a wicked PUNK’D. He seems to actually believe it [...]

They Don’t Want Your Black Ass

Sigh. Yet another black Republican writes lamenting the fact that her party has no interest in appealing to black people. Even before the candidacy of Obama, the GOP has made clear for several decades that it doesn’t have any interest in attracting the votes of minorities, especially blacks. I don’t know why black conservatives keep [...]

Since the election, Saturday Night Live has not done any skits with Fred Armisen as Barack Obama. Yet they’ve done Joe Biden, Barney Frank, and even Zell Miller. While they apparently are determined to stick with the miscasting of Armisen, this isn’t exactly a vote of confidence for his horrible impression.
