All of Mariah Carey’s dreams have come true, now that four types of Hello Kitty wine are set to hit the market. For who knows drinks better than a tiny cat without a mouth, eh? [Jezebel]

So the what do you do when you’re a political party, so bereft of ideas, competence and shame that the only people who still come out to support your efforts at reclaiming political power are a pack of gun crazy, racist John Birch conspiracy crazies? What do you do when you’re trying to gain the support of ordinary, middle-of-the-road, citizens even as your most fervent supporters are mobbing the streets of our nation’s capital hurling racist insults at African American politicians and spitting on congressmen as they head to the capital?

Talibunny Exorts Her Minions to KILL! KILL! KILL! in the name of Jesus and America! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Talibunny taunts! Kill in my name! Ha! Hahaha! Hahahahahahahaha!

Blurb: “For an entire year, otherwise clear-thinking members of the most affluent, over-educated, information-drenched generation in American history fell prey to the most expensive, hi-tech, laser-focused marketing assault in presidential campaign history.”
Review: “I can’t wait for ‘Bush and his Conservative Idiots: How the conservative machine gave us two wars, illegal concentration camps, wiretapping, used our own religion to brainwash the rest of the country, and sank our economy to the ground — not to mention the fact that we gained more enemies around the world.’”
