Obama certificate lawsuit dismissed →
Proving that stupidity is an infinitely renewable resource, there are a group of Nobama asshats who are convinced that Obama was not born in the U.S. An official copy from Hawai’i’s office of vital statistic wouldn’t convince them. So, one of these sheep-humpers temporarily moved to Hawai’i and filed suit to see the original. The court told him to fuck off and die in a...
Regenerating a Mammoth for $10 Million →
hungryghoast:
science:
“Scientists are talking for the first time about the old idea of resurrecting extinct species as if this staple of science fiction is a realistic possibility, saying that a living mammoth could perhaps be regenerated for as little as $10 million.” (via.)
So… on a scale of 1 to 10, how amazed and happy would you be if they went through with this? I mean… yes $10 Million is...
Your Daily Ezra Klein Post
southpol:
Ezra Klein on the Leiberman compromise and the actual mechanics of ‘No Drama Obama’:
And if that’s not the most satisfying resolution, it’s almost certainly the smartest one. Obama is counting votes, not prosecuting grudges. Lieberman’s slingshot into the furthest reaches of the far right was always a sadly transparent reaction to his rejection by the left. Human beings do not enjoy...

Lieberman expelled from Pilates class in Senate gym.
The snark is strong with this one.
Mama kills animals!? →
filthyfragger:
Ready to be sick? Coinciding with the release of Cooking Mama: World Kitchen, PETA has wielded the Awesome Power of Copyright Infringement to make a Cooking Mama Flash game about the preparations involved with cooking turkey.
Combining an impressively accurate facsimile of Cooking Mama gameplay with horrifying, bloody visuals, Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals is intended as an...
“I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose...”
– Newt Gingrich
You know Newt is one of those guys that likes to prance around in his wife’s lingerie when no one’s around. He shouldn’t be left unsupervised at the petting zoo, either.
“Christmas will be cancelled this year because of the recession, so extra retail...”

– Wonkette : Sarah Palin’s First Press Conference Of The Campaign Happens Yesterday (via theoriginaljoefisher:cvxn:suitep:robot-heart-politics)
I wish she would fade into obscurity, but if the media is going to continue to foist this nitwit on us, I am going to continue to point and laugh.

Georgia congressman warns of Obama dictatorship →
insertname:terryblakey:
I found this after being directed from a comment on the CNN Political Ticker.
Whilst reading the comments there and then reading the GA Congressman’s interpretation of an Obama speech, I have come to the conclusion that membership of the Republican party requires a person to have an IQ roughly equivalent to their shoe size.
Am I wrong?
They have made quite an effort...
“President-elect Obama looks forward to working with anyone to move the country...”
– Stephanie Cutter, spokesperson for President-elect Obama, indicating that the new president isn’t interested in petty disputes or holding political grudges. I think the Democrats should do whatever they want and don’t care whether they keep him or let him go. I just don’t think they should put up...
“Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks....”
– John “Hindrocket” Hindraker (via Balloon Juice)
Wow. He’s got a serious case of rectal-cranial inversion.
“I can’t believe Obama is already sitting down with an unpopular,...”

Kerry is the No Drama Option for Secretary of... →
Al Giordano:
By default, Kerry is the front runner and I opine that by every yardstick he ought to be: From the teamwork perspective, a Secretary of State Kerry in tandem with a Vice President Biden have a long-built synergy that would allow them to boldly remake America’s role around the world. Both of them, although they’re not widely seen as such, are visionaries on foreign...

10,066 hilariously heart felt signatures, and counting!
At the very top when I came to the page was this gem:
Sarah:you are a lady in every since of the word,may God bless you and your family. i shutter when i think of the drastic things that obama is going to do to this great and beautifully blessed Country.the way the press drug you thru the mud,may God do to them what they done...
There's a reason you don't say those things
southpol:
Ostensibly human person Glenn Beck:
I mean, I have to tell you if I heard once, I heard 1,000 times from people, and I never said this, never said this on the air because you just don’t say these things, but I heard a million times from people, “I’m going to vote for John McCain and, you know, I mean, he’s old. Maybe we get Sarah Palin in the first term.” You know what I mean?
I...
Celebrate good times. Come on.

It’s hard to sit down and apply myself when all I want to do is put on a fez and do backflips like an organ-grinder’s monkey.
Objects have lost their practical applications. Bananas are no longer for eating but for drum solos. The shower is no longer a device in service of hygiene but a mystical indoor rain-machine.
When I put my finger on the pulse of America it sounds like a...

Al Giordano:
Here’s a theorem for the coming weeks and months before President-elect Obama’s January 20, 2009 inauguration: The volume of teeth-gnashing and Chicken Little-ing from my friends and colleagues about what moves Obama makes during the transition will be inversely proportional to the amount of work they did to get him there.
Here’s why I like the news that US Rep....
My Election Day
It turns out my job was to support the canvassers working out of the staging location at my friend’s house. First thing in the morning I ran to the grocery store and picked up breakfast food, snacks, and drinks. After that I helped put together the remaining unfinished cavassing packets. Then it was off to a local hispanic restaruant, who provided us with an awesome lunch (pork, chicken,...
You won’t hear much from me today on Tumblr, as I will be volunteering for Obama. Part of my job will be to deliver supplies to Obama’s Comfort Teams at various polling places. The Comfort Teams will be handing out water, snacks, and whatever else is needed to keep voters comfortable. It’s important to note that these teams will not be campaigning or trying to influence...
“I expect them to be incredibly pissed off.”
– Josh Simmons, chairman of Univ. of Florida Gators for McCain, commenting on how his colleagues will respond to the news that he voted early for Barack Obama. Simmons resigned on Sunday. (via election08)
Go Gators! I used to work at The Alligator.
