  1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    Bok has Feeney's back.

  2. Live Free or Diet   12 years ago

    He's right. Our spending blows.

    1. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

      Perhaps he was suggesting Americans are performing some sort of fellatio on their royalty

      1. Swiss Servator - past LTC(ret)   12 years ago

        Indeed, see; press, Kennedy family.

      2. Atanarjuat   12 years ago

        Actually, it's a condition for working at MSNBC.

  3. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    Notice has been given to America. Prince George is wearing Bart Simpson's scalp.

    1. Auric Demonocles   12 years ago

      We've started wars with royal George's for less.

      1. Swiss Servator - past LTC(ret)   12 years ago

        And they no less the same - ie. The War of Jenkin's Ear.

        1. SugarFree   12 years ago

          To be fair, that damn ear had it coming.

          1. Zakalwe   12 years ago

            Mark Antony was smart enough to ask for the loan of an ear.

    2. db   12 years ago

      Cowabunga, dude!

  4. Marc F Cheney   12 years ago

    OH SNAP

  5. CampingInYourPark   12 years ago

    On June 13, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote her and Secretary of State John Kerry asking why Abedin, the deputy chief of staff at the State Department under former Secretary Hillary Clinton, was granted status as a "special government employee" after the birth of her son.
    That title allowed her to work from home as a part-time consultant to State, earning $135,000 as a government employee -- while also earning $355,000 as a consultant for Teneo, where former President Bill Clinton is a board member.

    Sweet!

    1. Ted S.   12 years ago

      What difference, at this point, does it make?

    2. DJF   12 years ago

      Once again the Republicans continue their "War on Women" who just want to help the US government by taking advantage of the revolving door between government and crony industry which has made some people lots of money.

    3. UnCivilServant   12 years ago

      Why did I go into state instead of Federal service? I can't even break six figures without becoming a division leader.

      /sigh

    4. Fatty Bolger   12 years ago

      Seems like a lot of money, but as Hillary's "Lady of the Bedchamber" you either talked to Huma or felt the wrath of the Queen. So I'm sure she was worth every penny they paid her, and more.

  6. Mike M.   12 years ago

    -1 bubble.

  7. Swiss Servator - past LTC(ret)   12 years ago

    Oh, let me be the first.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

  8. Auric Demonocles   12 years ago

    Needs more labels. Specifically the kind that only appears when you hover your mouse over the picture.

    1. The Society for MOAR Alt-text   12 years ago

      Hear hear...We strongly agree with you!

  9. Cdr Lytton   12 years ago

    Why is Krang wearing a crown?

    1. SugarFree   12 years ago

      Because all the libertarians at TReason voted for Kodos.

      1. Floridian   12 years ago

        I thought krang was from TMNT

        1. Auric Demonocles   12 years ago

          SugarFree is an uneducated prole who things Kang and Krang are the same thing.

          1. SugarFree   12 years ago

            Kraang may be from TMNT, I'm not sure who this "Krang" character is.

            I was merely making a joke and Cdr's spelling might have just been a typo, but you two--for not knowing the right spelling before correcting me--have made utter fools of yourselves. Shame to you both. SHAME!

            1. Floridian   12 years ago

              I'm sorry sir. I will adjourn to my flogging chamber to punish myself.

            2. Cdr Lytton   12 years ago

              http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Krang

              I don't think so SF.

    2. Butts Wagner   12 years ago

      SHREDDERRRRR!!!

  10. Mr Whipple   12 years ago

    In Soviet America, royalty pays politicians.

    http://www.latimes.com/news/na.....8464.story

    1. Corneliusm   12 years ago

      "Defenders of political appointments argue that the ambassador's job has been diminished by modern communications that make it easy for presidents to stay in touch with foreign leaders."

      Hard to debate that kind of logic.

  11. db   12 years ago

    Labels, hell. Most people would need a footnote to understand what the man's saying.

  12. UnCivilServant   12 years ago

    OT: The Squirrels are no longer content to eat posts - Now they bring the Black Death to California: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23460709

    1. SugarFree   12 years ago

      FEAR IT!

  13. Rich   12 years ago

    Ease up, Chip. *Everyone* puts on a few extra pounds during pregnancy.

    1. Rich   12 years ago

      *takes on*, dammit!

  15. timbo   12 years ago

    The British collectively are the equivalent of the "Trayvon was murdered" crusade.

    If they were here, dumbass americans would be talking about them instead of teaching capitalism.

    Just look at great Britain at any time since the early 1900s and you have a blue print of what the US will look like at 20 years from that point in history.

  16. John Galt   12 years ago

    As impossible as it should be, our royalty is a lot uglier, too. Just ask Amanda Bynes.

  17. alan_s   12 years ago

    This one was actually pretty good. B+
