Good morning, campers!
As you can well imagine, it’s been a sullen week on Free Republic. The pledge drive I mentioned has slowed from a crawl to a pace only comparable to medium glaciers. They’ve been grinding away at their latest pledge drive for over three weeks plus and are currently at 36%, when normally they’re completely done after two weeks.
Moderation has gone up in smoke, as the once ironclad and finger-wagging prohibitions about multiple posts on the same subject seem to have vanished in the miasma of despair. There’s often identical news items posted four and five times on the front page.
The Romneyites hate the Palinites, and the Libertarianites hate the Authoritarianites, and the Reaganites hate the Bushbots, and everybody hates the Jews! (Oops – channeling Tom Lerher for a second there)
It’s pretty much a free-for-all now at America’s Formerly Most Tightly-Controlled Website, and it’s anyone’s guess as to who will arise victorious from the fray, if anyone. The fragile coalition between the religio-crazies and the greedheads has broken down. Me – I’m loving it.
Let’s get suited up and get hip-deep in the despair and backbiting, shall we?
First – from the maybe-if-I-stuff-my-fingers-in-my-ears-really-good-it-will-all-just-go-away contingent,
RUN AWAY! Pt 2

I am going to work to try to save the jobs of
the morons who voted for the Moron-in-Chief/Idiot-in-Chief ticket. I am
not really certain how hard I should work though.
Well, maybe just hard enough to not save your own? I’m sure your co-workers would appreciate your lack of effort, as well as the wonderful sight of Security walking you out the door with your shit in a box. That, and the peace and quiet after you’re gone.

Count me in. I won’t watch it. I think, tomorrow, I’ll be vomiting and/or begging God for mercy on our country…

24?? Colour me flabbergasted. Here’s some Astro-glide and a box of tissue. Wash your hands after.

Oh, I don’t know, watching O take the oath in
a snowstorm might be kind of entertaining. Especially if, as he raises
his right hand, there is a giant ZOT, in the form of an unsual, but not
unheard of in a snowstorm, bolt of lighting.

You do that, domenad. The adults have things to do, and you’d just be in the way. We’ll call you and your little friends when dinner’s ready.
So very much more after the jump, so – the magic words –
Jackie Kennedy!!
Oh, well – Julie Andrews.
Well, since wingnuts do satire about as well as they do foreign policy and hurricane relief
Wait, “The Green Berets” and “Red Dawn”weren’t satires?
Consider me gobsmacked.
.
there would have been no effective red labor movement in this country (headquartered in Chicago and spawning eventually, Barack Obama).
Wait, Obama is the son of Rosie the Riveter? No wonder he had to fake his birth certificate!
Bless you as always, Tommy, for wading through the crazy for our edification.

For those who are under 35 or went to a private school, here’s what Tommy’s talking about:

Dear me, let’s see, that would make a party of about 2,000, more or less? I say go for it.
