I will allow you to live Bok. One more week.
-
+1
Good morning reason! -
I thought you were dead.
-
I am. This is an impostor.
-
The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.
-
Someone may have to snuff it out.
-
I concur.
That language is very prescient.
-
This looks like a Ted Nugent book signing event.
-
Ted Danson.
-
So, an episode of Becker, then?
-
I think that EPA woman is a bit scared that Frank lets go of another one.
-
heh... he said "eat out".
-
He was pretty good about that sort of thing.
-
Poor taste, but I laughed.
-
The US constitution for me has always been a terrorists manifesto.
-
That's from the Declaration. Bad sock puppet!
-
The best part about Tony spoofers is that they're indistinguishable from the real Tony.
Oh shi--
-
I don't get the hobbit thing. Wasn't Jefferson like 6'4"?
-
I also do not get the Hobbit thing, they were the heroes that saved the day.
-
More than that the book is an allegory about how power corrupts.
-
Didn't the Hobbits win? They traveled to the capital and destroyed the senator-for-ever and his surveillance system.
-
^this^
-
And then came home and kicked butt on the immigrants
-
Unfortunately, it's only fiction.
The Eye is seen each night on CBS.
-
6'2.5"
-
Yeah, but how tall was he?
*rimshot*
-
McCain refers to 'tea party hobbits,' blasts Bachmann-backed idea
-
Aha, thanks. That's not a very good caricature of McCain.
-
Looks more like Mickey Rooney.
-
bet Mickey Rooney would be against torture too...
then again, watching his old movies is torture... -
I was the biggest star… IN THE WORLD!
Bam! Shuuussshhhhh! Kapow! -
I dunno either. Maybe he's getting hobbits confused with his captors.
-
A reference to McCain's snippy little comment about the Tea Party "hobbits defeating Mordor". That's him at the front of the line.
-
Someday, I will learn to read all the comments before I post. Or not...
-
It didn't suck out my will to live, so I suppose it wasn't bad for a FF.
-
Eat out your will to live?
-
If you must.
-
Oh yeah, no doubt. Another wacky Friday is upon us.
-
lolcats anonbot
-
Ha ha ha ha ha, "Kirk" Loder.
-
Not shitty.
-
When did Ziggy Stardust become HHS Sec?
-
When did Ziggy grow titties?
-
Androgyny, how does it work?
-
Without titties.
-
Bowie is a dude??!
-
Sorry, but that wasn't a chick that sucked your dick.
-
shower shower scrub scrub
-
Too late. Start cutting.
-
but "ZIGGY PLAYED GUITAAAAAAARRR!"
-
just had to add this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a-8Zs5yXI4 -
Beat me to it.
-
I thought it was Leslie Stahl. That revolving door of news personalities in Obama Administration positions. But we can all agree it's odd to have Condoleezza Rice appointed to the EPA, right?
-
Only if you're racist, racist.
-
Actually it's some lady named Lisa Jackson who apparently likes the smell of Barny the Frank's farts or she wouldn't be sniffing his ass.
-
She's testing for emmissions. Stay tuned for fart regulations.
-
Since when did Hitler need more swarms of officers to harass people?
-
Is he in this cartoon somewhere?
-
He's everywhere.
-
Bush. Obama. Bachmann. Justin Beiber.
-
No, that's Elvis.
-
That video should have won ten Oscars.
-
If you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin'!
-
Oh, my fault, it says "hither"
-
For Christ's sake read better. You got me all pissed there for a minute.
-
Imagine how pissed Jefferson would have been if King George had sent Hitler over here to bug us.
-
It's a good thing there wasn't a Rommel or Guderian among all those Hessians.
-
Now Bok is pimping The Jacket®'s book?
-
Is The Jacket's book's book jacket also black leather?
-
The "Secret Decoder Ring" edition is bound in the skin of third world orphan workers who slacked off, and comes with a coupon for buy-one-get-one-free monocles.
-
Every answer will be "Drink More Libertarian Kool-Aid"
-
Thanks for the laughs at the end of a week that sorely needed more.
-
Your Welcome.
Drink More Libertarian Cool-Aid.
-
You couldn't WAIT for Thursday to end, could you?
-
a coupon for buy-one-get-one-free monocles
Isn't the whole point of monocles that they don't come in pairs?
-
The second monocle is to wear under the first in case it falls out.
-
It would be complete if Frank farted in Jackson's face.
-
But under the King's Health plan all leechings will be free.
-
+10
Leeching here of course has a double meaning.
-
Does anyone else think the The Help trailer looks like a virtual Hogwarts of Magic Negroes?
-
There are black people in that movie?
-
Actually they're all Andy Serkis.
-
That was meant to be an innocent SFX joke, but the longer it sits there on the Internets, in light of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it looks more and more racist.
I didn't mean it that way. OK, carry on.
-
Tom T. Hall's "The Monkey That Became President" pisses a lot of people off these days too, so don't feel bad.
-
No more Cherry Pie.
-
Warrant was a great Behind The Music. Lane was talking about the delays get Dog Eat Dog out. He looks at the camera and goes something like "Nirvana's Nevermind came out first. That was it."
It showed incredible restraint for VH1 not to play the sad horn after that statement.
-
Did you see It Might Get Loud?
-
Netflix really wants me to. Should I?
-
Yes - it's worth it just for Jimmy Page. I knew nuttin' about Jack White before I saw it and have become a fan since. The stuff with The Edge is interesting too though I'm not the biggest fan.
-
I like Jimmy Page. I wouldn't know Jack White from Reggie White, and I hate The Edge, but mainly because he named himself "The Edge".
-
I knew nuttin' about Jack White before I saw it and have become a fan since.
Same here.
-
I love the beginning of It Might Get Loud, where White shows up with a guitar or two---including the one with the old-style hand microphone embedded---Page shows up in with, I think, a guitar or two, and the Edge shows up with Dallas and a truckload of effects gear...
Really gets into the components and influences that make up each of their sounds. And the looks of awe that White and the Edge give to Page are funny too.
Great documentary. I think you'll like it.
-
I never knew Page had such a squeaky voice. It's pretty funny.
But seriously, it's worth watching.
-
Whomever is on links duty must have been on a bender last night.
-
"CUT! Congressman Frank, I know it's tempting, but can you refrain from looking into the camera? Okay, again, from the line about the Kiwi midgets or whatever... ACTION!"
-
Not bad. The hobbit thing threw me until I recalled the McCain comment, and Jefferson's hair color is correct, and the point is indeed well made likening Oh-buma's action to George III. I'll give it a check-plus.
-
God love that busted-up jet jockey, but he really is a silly fuck, isn't he?
-
When your beard gets skritchy
the little woman gets bitchy
enhance the romance
as you eat out her substance
BURMA SHAVE
-
A whiskery kiss
For the one
You adore
May not make her mad
But her inner thighs will be sore
BURMA SHAVE
-
Sheer poetry.
-
morning links were early yesterday - today? LATE! Stop the late-night drinkin' and get to postin'!
-
Quiet, you! Our heads hurt from too many car bombs last night!
-
Terrorists!
-
There was a debate last night. Debate = drinking game.
-
Libertarians = mavericks. Make your own morning links right here. Show the Riggs/Walker/KMW junta who's in charge here.
-
Now that I understand the hobbit reference and the Barney Frank fart thing, I believe this cartoon can be certified fresh.
-
The words "Barny Frank fart" and "fresh" should never be used in the same sentence.
That is all. Carry on.
-
You want links? I'll give you links.
There's that Commerce Clause again!
Federal officials are kicking around an idea that could ultimately force him - and anyone else operating farm machinery - to get a commercial driver's license.http://www.jsonline.com/business/127077968.html
"In one scenario, farmers hauling grain to local elevators would be treated as if they were engaged in interstate commerce because grain, in many cases, eventually leaves the state."
-
Can we amend the Consitution to strip that fucking clause out?
-
Hypothetically.
-
God damn that's an irritating thought. I haul a grain buggy on the roads maybe 20 times a year, driving a total of 16 miles round trip. Hell and God damn if I am going to get a stupid fucking CDL for that.
-
Where I live, farmers can have their eight year old children haul vats of nitroglycerin on mountainous state highways in antique trucks with no brakes and no license plates, as long as they have an orange triangle.
-
Nice to hear that some kids still get to have fun.
-
BOOM!!
-
In case there are no morning links, just for the Hell of it, here's a video of Rand Paul ripping DOE lackey, Kathleen Hogan.
-
You right-wing zealots just don't do humor well. Stick to what you do best--cherry picking evidence to confirm your biases.
-
Isolated incidents are not isolated!1!
-
The history of the present [government] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For transporting us [and others] beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
Taking our land and giving it to private interests
Forcing us into commerce against our wishes
Preventing the people from using the illumination of their choosing in their own home.
Prevents the recording of public actions of public officials
Declares secret without oversight, information of import to the citizenry
Restricts or bans the growing of plants for food and medicine.
Subjects travelers on private transport to unreasonable, invasive and humiliating searches.
Taxes the citizens of the States, and then requires the States to pass Laws as condition for the return of the funds
Illegitimately imposes upon personal arms the police power of the state
Incurs debt that the citizenry is unable to repay
Debauches the currency on a daily basis
Orders U.S. Military Forces into offensive actions without the approval of Congress.
Institutes so many regulations and laws that it is impossible for a mortal to live a day without violating at least one if not a multiple of them.
Uses the unlawful ownership of the airways to restrict speech.
Takes the property of those not convicted but merely suspected of a crime.
Does not protect the U.S. Constitution but at every turn tries to circumvent it.
-
Regulates and constrains the physical sustenance of the citizenry.
Accuses the lawful gathering of citizens of racialist depravity.
-
ELIMUNASH[un]IST LANG[uag]E!!!!!
Also,
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST!!
-
The DOI mentioned 25 specific offenses by Old Georgie Porgie.
With a touch of imagination, you can now lay 18 of them at the feet of our own federal government.
-
Why do Bawney Fwank's fahts smell wike Santorum?
-
I LOLd! Out loud!
-
Reason needs to get rid of the 'Friday Fails' section, really.
It has NEVER been funny, not in the year I've been stalking this place.
-
thank u
