‘Knockout Gamers’

Allison Hantschel

Fuck shit Jesus, Wayne LaPierre has LOST THE PLOT: “We trust what we know in our hearts to be right,” he said. “We trust our freedom. In this uncertain world, surrounded by lies and corruption everywhere you look, there is no greater freedom than the right to survive and protect our families with all the rifles, shotguns and handguns we want. We know, in the world that surrounds us, there are terrorists and there are home invaders, drug cartels, carjackers, knockout gamers and rapers, and haters and campus killers, and airport killers, shopping mall killers, and killers who scheme to … Continue reading ‘Knockout Gamers’

The Internet Killed Tom Cruise, Too

Allison Hantschel

Excuses, excuses: Cruise never jumps on a couch. It is Oprah who seeds the idea that he should stand on it. She thanks Cruise for attending her recent Legends Ball, where she honored Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King. “I turned and looked at one point and you were standing in the chair going, ‘Yes! Yes!’ ” she gushes to Cruise. “I loved that enthusiasm.” Minutes later, he stands on the couch for a second, and after she and the audience cheer that, he does it again. When she continues pressing about if he wants to marry Holmes, he exhales, “I’m … Continue reading The Internet Killed Tom Cruise, Too

‘Help Fight Liberals’

Allison Hantschel

For serious, why? “Help fight liberals by donating today.” Fight liberals how? And for what? I don’t get what we’re fighting about, and I pay pretty damn good attention to the Republican crazy on the Internets. How are people beyond the 27 percent supposed to connect with this? I can’t bring myself to get upset about Republican hypocrisy anymore (and for serious, this isn’t even this week‘s most egregious example), but their shitty strategy annoys me. I like my enemies more competent than this. A. Continue reading ‘Help Fight Liberals’

Strange Bedfellows: Putin and Pat

Peter Adrastos Athas

Remember when Pat Buchanan was a fanatical anti-communist and Russophobe? That guy would have been suspicious of Vladimir Putin because of his background as a KGB man.But Pat’s rabid homophobia finds him in bed with the rabidly macho Russian President: Leno and Obama were referring to a new Russian law prohibiting “homosexual propaganda.” Moscow is also warning foreigners, including visitors to the winter Olympics in Sochi, that propagandizing for gay rights can get them two weeks in detention. No kiss-ins allowed. “Medieval,” howled the Washington Post. “Mr. Putin’s war” on gays and lesbians is “part and parcel of his lapse … Continue reading Strange Bedfellows: Putin and Pat

No It Won’t, You Fucking Poser-Loser … Ploser? We Need a New Word, That’s How Much This Guy Sucks.

Allison Hantschel

God, armchair revolutionaries make me tired. 1776 will not commence again, because that would require that you give up your job that you hate and your family you don’t like very much and your fucking recliner and your Bugles filled with spray cheese and actually DO SOMETHING, and if you were capable of improving the world in any miniscule way you wouldn’t be such an angry fucking insect in the first place, and you wouldn’t need to use the prospective deaths of others to yob off in front of the world on national television to make yourself sound important. Fuck … Continue reading No It Won’t, You Fucking Poser-Loser … Ploser? We Need a New Word, That’s How Much This Guy Sucks.

Damn Right I’ve Sold Out

Allison Hantschel

For these prices, I’d have said Walmart was not in any way sticky, George W. Bush was the best president we ever had, and ferrets are filthy animals who should be banned from all homes and crack vans. Sure, sure, those are opinions I hold anyway, and the money would just be a nice bonus to support my work. If somebody showed up with a huge check, I’d never question it. A.

Dirty Deeds

southernbeale2014

Tucker Carlson’s Internet Kavalcade of Krayzeee seems poised to take over Breitbart’s Propaganda & Donut Den for this year’s Crimes Against Journalism Award. But really, there are so many nominees this year, how can one choose? The conservative media’s latest liberal-smearing scoop that ended up being an exploding cigar was the Daily Caller’s career-killing revelation — with video! — that Sen. Robert Menendez had sex with prostitutes in the Dominican Republic. Sadly for Tucker Carlson, it all appears to be a big, fat lie: An escort who appeared on a video claiming Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) paid her for sex … Continue reading Dirty Deeds

Blind Fox News Squirrel Finds Nut

southernbeale2014

God, can we please stop treating Fox News’ Megyn Kelly like she’s some kind of goddamned hero or something? So this is where we are? A female Fox News anchor calls her misogynist colleagues’ views about gender roles a bunch of sexist bullshit — which they are — and we’re supposed to cheer for her? Give me a fucking break. Megyn Kelly is your typical Fox News hack. Like every other conservative out there, she only manages to find her spine (and voice) when something personally affects her. Jon Stewart called her out on this BS the last time she … Continue reading Blind Fox News Squirrel Finds Nut

For What It’s Worth

TPM ran a swell piece about the cover art of the NRA’s house organ (LaPierre is their swinging dick) America’s 1st Freedom. They were all pretty inflammatory from a lefty-commie-pinko-hippie-peacenik perspective but this one is my favorite: The New Black Panthers are coming to mau-mau your ass everyone. Btw, this qualifies as subtle from the NRA’s perspective. That black gloved fist is gonna grab your gun and we all know who’s wearing it, the Kenyan Marxist dude. This cover was published right before the election, and before Obama came out of the closet on gun control. He hadn’t done much … Continue reading For What It’s Worth
