Fascist enabler Joe Scarborough exposed his deepest and most twisted sexual fantasies on MSNBC yesterday morning, apropos absolutely nothing, shouting out, “Hey, you know what I want to see: George Bush and Barbara Bush making out.”

Yes, Joe, you twisted fuck, that’s what everyone in America is thinking about all the time when they’re not thinking about securing victory in Iraq or eliminating taxes for trillionaires, asshole. No one can wait until Caligutard finally takes it out and sucks on Battleax Barbara’s tongue for hours on ESPN pay-per-view.

The people who have given us (ahem) Bratz dolls have performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. Score one for the good guys, I guess. There’s other focus-group garbage out there, of course, but this line of crap was particularly odious.

Really: what is it about some most people and their consuming? The connection between head and wallet seems to be switched off in millions of us, even after years of experience. I would have to think that there would be some sort of special shame to those who are getting bill collection notices on credit cards, on which they purchased however much on Bratz gear.

(And, oh hey, did you guys hear that some guy was trampled at a Wal-Mart last oh of course you heard about it my God it was third-story behind Mumbai and MP-thrown-in-the-slam over in England for Christ’s sake way to embarass ourselves yet again.)

You know, it is so great to see the wingnuts go completely off the deep end. It is just killing them to see the Inadequate Black Male taking hold of the reins. Killing them.

Anyway: here’s the end of the road. They are praising Sarah Palin for her “passionate, hopeful and articulate [yes, that’s right, articulate] advocacy” in a Thanksgiving ad. The amount of joy I get in watching this pathetic display is only heightened by the source: “Our Country Deserves Better PAC.”

Ladies and gentlemen: I give you the best political ad ever made.

The fabulous Rachel Maddow is the guest on Colbert tonight!  Let us enjoy…

My favorite contest EVAR:

An international literary parody contest, the competition honors the memory (if not the reputation) of Victorian novelist Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873). The goal of the contest is childishly simple: entrants are challenged to submit bad opening sentences to imaginary novels. Although best known for “The Last Days of Pompeii” (1834), which has been made into a movie three times, originating the expression “the pen is mightier than the sword,” and phrases like “the great unwashed” and “the almighty dollar,” Bulwer-Lytton opened his novel Paul Clifford (1830) with the immortal words that the “Peanuts” beagle Snoopy plagiarized for years, “It was a dark and stormy night.”

The culprit:

“It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents–except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.”

–Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Paul Clifford (1830)

My favorites from the 2008 results after the jump.
