... (0 comments)I didn’t think there would something that I would find as entertaining as John Stewart’s epic smackdown of Jim Cramer last night, but I just came across this video of often-reasonable Fox News anchor Shepard Smith openly and ruthlessly mocking Glenn Beck throughout the day.
At the end of it, I literally couldn’t stop myself from laughing for a few minutes. I wonder how many lashes this earns him in the Rupert Murdoch Torture Chamber.

Unhinged vagina-shackler on Komen’s volte face:Cancer is Cancer! Aboration is Aboration!
(0 comments)Since it’s Mitt Romney week everywhere, I figured I’d post this op-ed by an ex-Mormon, which is a pretty interesting take at the institutional culture of the LDS church. Not much to say about it, but it’s definitely worth 5 or so minutes of your time. (0 comments)Why Bipartisanship Is Impossible, In One Sentence
When one party climbs back to power by promising action on the economy, does nothing on it, and instead spends literally all its time trying to hurt the other party. (0 comments)New From The Gingrich-Cain Front
Newt rants about cable movies he doesn’t like, and flips out when Herman tries to seize control. Catch all the fun here. And the main site is here, as always. (0 comments)Headline of the Week: Making Rapeanade

…with a whimper. Drum is worth reading on this. I think he’s just got to be the most overhyped and overcovered guy who never managed better than third place since…Joe Lieberman? (0 comments)Mitt Romney's Overwhelming Inauthenticity
It’s amazing to me that Mitt Romney brings up France as a scary comparison point to himself so often when he spent years there and speaks the language. It’s such a minor point, but telling. Of all the people running for president, Mitt Romney has to be the most aware that the rightwing caricature of ... (0 comments)Mother Teresa Doesn't Deserve Sainthood
Case in point. It’s amazing how all the famous/respected Catholic figures from the 1990s have turned out to be incredibly corrupt, isn’t it? I’m sure they’re somehow connected. Of course, as I’m a Protestant I know little about such things. (1 comments)I Fixed It! Ban Sitting Politicians From Running For Another Office
Wonkette reminded me of one of the provisions that I want to write into my fantasy Constitution:No person who holds any elected office shall be permitted to seek election to any other office until he shall have permanently vacated his current post.

Wow, this was hilarious. I want to know more on the background of this. Surely it is more than mocking Glenn Beck's far-right fear mongering…
sooooo funny
Unlike the other boys in the Fox bus, Shep has a gag reflex and when Murdoch shoves his schlong-tastic daily talking points down his anchors' throats… Shep evidently won't swallow.
'Fear Chamber' — that's even funnier than 'Doom Room'. :)
lol. how about cataclysm chamber.
Stephen Maio, does it hurt to hate so much?
it must be sad and lonely in his world. i deleted his comment and banned his IP due to a violation of the comment policy.
It puts a huge effin smile on my face to see how scared the far-right is. They had their time in the sun and now it is time for them to see the other side of the debate. I am certainly enjoying the progress being made on gay-marriage, reproductive freedom, foreign policy, SCIENCE, and virtually everything else. I have my complaints, but the steps we have taken forward render my complaints mute.
btw, sorry I have been MIA…super busy lately. Moving out of Japan in a month or so!
welcome back! you've been missed. let's see if i remember my college japanese — nihon no naka ni doko ni iimasuka?
Okinawa ni sundeimasu. Totemo iitokoro des. Lol. I had to have both translated for me as I don't speak Japanese. I am a foreign service officer with the Dept of State. Dream job by all accounts, though I am off to Libya in July! So, needless to say, my blog and feed reader are being neglected! But my Arabic will at least be a touch better!
sodesuka! i spent a summer in high school in ishigaki, just south of you. such a gorgeous area of the country. i always wished i could be an FSO, but i've been told my years of hippie pot smoking and such as a youth would be a per se bar. awesome news as to libya. bettawfeeq! you must have such amazing stories…
