Too Ridiculous to Pass Up

I'm sorry. This doesn't seem like a very funny day to me, but some things are too good to pass up. From Red State's own Erick Erickson, the following:

"In Chicagoland politics, like third world thugocracies, opponents of government get gunned down, thrown in jail, threatened by the powers of government, etc. We saw this happen a few months ago when a bank executive wrote a letter to the editor in his local newspaper criticizing TARP. Barney Frank demanded he appear before Congress..."

First of all, Erick, Barney Frank is not from Chicago. Secondly, being invited to offer your expert testimony to a congressional committee is not quite like being gunned down or thrown in jail. Sheesh, Erick, get a grip.

Right below that helpful post is one titled:

"Has Anyone Checked to See if the Holocaust Museum Shooter had a DailyKos Account?"

As moronic as this notion is, it isn't what I want to bring to your attention. it's a link in the article to this Red State post from 2006:

"I'm sure that it's frustrating to most left-leaning bloggers these days that they can't seem to make the Democrats listen to them or win any elections. I'm sure that many of them are wondering why despite their best efforts, despite giving all their money, despite fighting and bleeding for the cause, they manage to make no headway."

Don't you think that they would be just too embarassed to bring this to our attention?

You're a self-important asshole whose blog nobody reads or gives a shit about.

Have a nice day.

Dear Ms. Hatter,

I don't think you know me, but actually, I think you just about got it with the "self-important asshole" thing, as that's pretty much how I see myself. Isn't the internet wonderful?

You are welcome here any time, and I hope you will return with some actual comments on what I have to say, as predictable insults don't really leave much room to continue the discussion.
I mean that- I'd be interested in something more substantial from you and hope to hear from you again.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
