The raptureWell, one judge just bought himself a ticket to hell, and is bringing the rest of the state down with him.

A judge on Wednesday struck down a 2006 state law that required the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security to stress ‘dependence on Almighty God as being vital to the security of the commonwealth.’

On the upside, this will increase accountability by ending the longstanding Kentucky practice of blaming God for bureaucratic incompetency:

Homeland Security officials have been required for three years to credit ‘Almighty God’ in their official reports.

Conservatives in the state will no longer be able to blame God for Kentucky’s terrorist attacks, national disasters, and general shithole nature. However, there is currently no law against blaming the Jews, blacks, gays, Muslims, or liberals. Read more »

Don't ask us how, but it makes sense.

A year on, we can’t really blame her — she is who she is. And left to her devices, she would have remained as obscure today as she was a year ago — Bill Kristol’s wet dream, and a long-running GILF joke at Wonkette.

No, it’s war hero turned national terrorist John McCain we blame, a man who, after selling out everything but his houses to the Bushies for two years, decided that, if he couldn’t be President, he was going to take the country down with him.

f1-1Some idiots have proposed that the smart move for Mitt Romney would be to run for Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat, so that Mitts will poised for Presidential victory in 2012.  This would be just like how his experience as Governor of Massachusetts set the stage for his 2008 victory, which never happened, and  was sadly stolen from him by a shitting dog, his not-magical-enough Mormon underpanties, and his utter unlikability. This dude argues that Republicans would like to gain a Senate seat (It’s True!), and that it should be an easy win since people don’t like Democrats anymore (This may be true in some places, but only a little, and not in Massachusetts.  Plus, even fewer people like Republicans).  Also, Romney’s got name recognition on his side. Of course, that last argument forgets that everybody who knows Romney doesn’t like him. Everybody knows who Dick Cheney is, too, but I’ll bet Massachusetts wouldn’t elect that spiteful geezer, either. Read more »

I had to post this – from the Washington Independent. An RNC survey asks:

Is the colonel's underwear a matter of national security?

Not since the late, great, Potter Stewart have we so enjoyed the sweet mystery of jurisprudence:

Mr Lane was alleged to have been photographed placing his genitals on an army sergeant’s forehead — a practice the court defined as “teabagging” — while the sergeant was asleep.

It’s like laundering money — now that Australia’s High Court has entered “teabagging” into the public record, we can happily use the term on their authority, requiring only the proper citation to establish its provenance.

We think we're serious.You might recall Glenn Beck a few weeks ago pleading with his viewers not to take him seriously. You’ll certainly recall it when Beck puts the clip on permanent loop after someone takes a shot at Obama:

“If you watch MSNBC, I contend that you will see the future. They are laying the ground for a horrible event, that will be — it’s what they’re laying the ground for, anything from the Right, some awful event, and I fear this government, this administration has so much framework already prepared, that they will seize power overnight before anybody even gives it a second thought.”
