    “[I]t keeps her from stealing Post-it Notes and pens from the office and selling them on the street…”

    is an unsupported assertion. You can’t prove she isn’t stealing office supplies to sell on the street.

    Thanks a lot, T-Bogg. I had to look up chifforobe.

    I had always thought I might be 1/16th Chifforobe on my father’s side, but turns out it’s actually 1/64th Chippewa.

    It always pisses me off that everyone reads Animal Farm and 1984 as a warning except conservatives, who read them as instruction manuals.

    Surely he will make it up on the DVD sales. (Or blu-ray. Whatever.) Wingnut welfare won’t buy movie tickets, but the Koch brothers, et al., will buy warehouse-fulls of discs to boost sales figures and prove Rand is popular, dammit.

    When you say “thong,” are you speaking of footwear?

    I hope you are speaking of footwear.

    Czar is Russian, and Russians are commies, so this proves Obama is a socialist (because czars are Russian commies, which is just history you would know had you been properly home schooled instead of indoctrinated in our terrible public schools, but your parents didn’t love you enough to care, and still don’t).

    BTW, anyone else notice that Freddoso is only three letters away from Fredo?

  • Wow, that really is fuggin’ funny.

    The post, not the comments.

    Yeah, well I thought the cheering a little unseemly for a memorial service myself. Youthful exuberance of a mostly college-age crowd? Some megachurches are quite informal and actively cultivate a pep-rally-for-Jebus atmosphere, an attitude which some attendees might have brought to what should be a solemn event, I suppose. We can only speculate.

    Regardless, I’m sure Rush et al. will criticize the event as a political rally, because he and his ilk are intractable, irredeemable assholes.
