    Your name is not AM nor Links!!!!

    1. gaijin   12 years ago

      what is going on? I come here late and I see no AM links, no Friday unFunnies? Did the rapture happen?

      1. UnCivilServant   12 years ago

        I'm ahppy with them forgoing the links fiasco for one day, along with the unfunnies for one week.

  2. Slammer   12 years ago

    THIS ranting guy in a birthday suit wants links.

  3. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

    Now Reason is just dicking with us.

  4. Neoliberal Kochtopus   12 years ago

    The intern must be late to work this morning.

    1. Snark Plissken   12 years ago

      Zevon, Zevon needs his coffee....

      1. Rich   12 years ago

        "Wake the bleep up!"

      2. Outlaw   12 years ago

        Xenon, wake the fuck up!

    2. robc   12 years ago

      Maybe they fired Lucy again.

  5. sarcasmic   12 years ago

    Uh, what?

  6. Ted S.   12 years ago

    What's his opinion on electronic pull-tabs?

  7. Tim   12 years ago

    "Boardwalk Fire Destroys Parts of Recently Rebuilt Jersey Shore"

    AND AM LINKS!

  8. EDG reppin' LBC   12 years ago

    I'd vote for him. Probably better then the usual gang of idiots.

    1. BakedPenguin   12 years ago

      Yeah, I doubt he'd be any worse than the rest of them.

    2. thom   12 years ago

      Doesn't Minneapolis have IRV? He'll probably get some votes.

  9. The Late P Brooks   12 years ago

    "Boardwalk Fire Destroys Parts of Recently Rebuilt Jersey Shore"

    Unfortunately, Governor Arbuckle escaped without injury.

    1. Ted S.   12 years ago

      That's offensive to Roscoe Arbuckle!

  10. Rich   12 years ago

    OK, here's what I think has happened to the Links: A Senate panel on Thursday approved a measure defining "journalist", and H&R bloggers didn't make the cut.

    1. Snark Plissken   12 years ago

      Nick did, because he's such a cosmotarian. Unfortunately, he's too high and might to post MLs. That and he's got a terrible hangover from last night's cocktail party.

      1. Rich   12 years ago

        Hey, maybe he's making a reason.tv edition of MLs!

        1. Snark Plissken   12 years ago

          Which he will post at 1 AM.

  11. Tim   12 years ago

    We should all send in absentee ballots for thie guy. So what if we don't live there? This is America!

    1. Rich   12 years ago

      Right on! We *deserve* a vote!

    2. gaijin   12 years ago

      yeah, but that suit. We don;t need to see the mayor's junk. see: Anthony Weiner

  12. Swiss Servator - Gnome Slave   12 years ago

    ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA! ....um, MORNING LINKS! MORNING LINKS! MORNING LINKS!

    1. tarran   12 years ago

      You call this slop? Real slop has got chunks of things in it.

      This is more like gruel!

  13. Gbob   12 years ago

    Dude is willing to skip going to strip clubs for what he believes in. Say what you will, at least Wagner has an ethos.

  14. RBS   12 years ago

    That's great and all but where is Suderman's review of The Family?

  15. sarcasmic   12 years ago

    I'm about ready to spooge my links all over this page...

    1. Rich   12 years ago

      OK, you Fist.

  16. Rich   12 years ago

    And his campaign ad is...unusual.

    But are his methods ... unsound?

    1. Enough About Palin   12 years ago

      Frankly, sir, I don't see any method.

  17. Ken Shultz   12 years ago

    If the next libertarian presidential candidate makes campaign commercials that are even slightly less embarrassing than that, we should all be grateful.

  18. sarcasmic   12 years ago

    My links are getting rather blue...

  19. Enough About Palin   12 years ago

    Herpes-infected monkeys terrorize Florida...

    http://nypost.com/2013/09/12/h.....e-florida/

    1. sarcasmic   12 years ago

      DAMN YOU I WAS GOING TO POST THAT!

    2. Brett L   12 years ago

      So, I want to be remembered as too slow on the trigger.

    3. Floridian   12 years ago

      That's not news. We have know about the escaped monkeys for a long time here. Now did you hear Voyager left the solar system? Completely new story. Never been done before.

  20. Brett L   12 years ago

    Ok guys, I'm stopping in as I prepare for my wedding. I think this is how I want to be remembered if the new opinions my wife gives me are too different for me to be my old self.

  21. Heroic Mulatto   12 years ago

    Why are we not discussing the cute chick in the video?

    Homos.

    1. Brett L   12 years ago

      I blame racism, except for John. She's too skinny for him. But I do like his taste. I'd vote for him.

  22. sarcasmic   12 years ago

    Here goes...

  23. sarcasmic   12 years ago

    Youth continues to be wasted on the young.

    1. robc   12 years ago

      Youth continues to be wasted on the young.

      My first guess was Bella Thorne.

    2. Heroic Mulatto   12 years ago

      DAT ASS.

  24. sarcasmic   12 years ago

    Heartbroken widow being forced to demolish treehouse built by her Vietnam vet husband ten years ago
    Husband built play house for grandchildren before his death
    Family told 20ft structure violates 17 building codes

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new.....rmits.html

    Mrs Erickson claimed that when she asked how she could fix the violations listed, a city spokesman told her: 'How do we give you a permit for a tree house? We don't have codes to permit a tree house.'

    That which is not permitted is forbidden.

    1. Brett L   12 years ago

      No codes for a treehouse? Then what is it in violation of?

      1. Andrew S.   12 years ago

        Article F, Section Y, Subsection T, Clause W of the code.

  25. sarcasmic   12 years ago

    Elated bartender who was given a $200,000 TIP is left with nothing after visa refused to process the payment
    Picture posted on Reddit of receipt with $200,000 tip
    Bill for $111.54 meal added up to $211,000.54 so tip could have been more
    Tip declined by debit card company as over percentage limit
    Other website users comment tip could be scam to escape paying bill

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new.....mpany.html

    1. Andrew S.   12 years ago

      So, the Daily Mail is just taking Reddit posts and turning them into articles now?

  26. sarcasmic   12 years ago

    And something about Warty climbing trees in Florida.

  27. Brett L   12 years ago

    It will be nice to know that Zack Snyder is giving Ben Affleck a chance to succeed as Batman.

    Instead, he will be older, grizzled, and burnt out. At an investor meeting on Thursday, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara described Affleck's Batman as "tired and weary and seasoned and been doing it for a while," reports Variety.

  28. The Late P Brooks   12 years ago

    I'm stopping in as I prepare for my wedding.

    DON"Y DO IT.

    RUN AWAY, RUN AWAAAAAAY

    1. UnCivilServant   12 years ago

      Yes, don't go near the comentariat, we're disturbed, warped mockeries of the natural order.

    2. Brett L   12 years ago

      Well, no matter my failings, the kid doesn't deserve to be a bastards. Bye guys. See ya tuesday.

  29. Rich   12 years ago

    Tor appeals principally to botnets, commonly used by spammers; those who peddle or seek pornography; and those who use a marketplace that has been called "Amazon.com for illegal drugs."

    Surprise, surprise, surprise!
    /Gomer Pyle

    1. Brett L   12 years ago

      This is a bad thing?

      1. Rich   12 years ago

        Well, let me try a different teaser: 60 percent of the budget of the Tor Project comes from the federal government, including a whopping 40 percent from the Department of Defense.

  30. The Late P Brooks   12 years ago

    typinh is hsrd.

  31. Mike M.   12 years ago

    For the first time in several years, we're all getting to see what kind of quarterback Tom Brady is when he's not surrounded by the best group of offensive talent in the league. It sure makes a big difference, doesn't it?

    The Patriots are just lucky they were playing the horrendous Jets. Any kind of halfway decent team and they would have lost.

    1. Andrew S.   12 years ago

      Halfway decent teams and they'd be 0-2.

      The Patriots' window is about to slam shut. The only reason it hasn't shut already is the rest of the AFC East is terrible.

  32. Paul.   12 years ago

    I say we give him a shot.

  33. Paul.   12 years ago

    And give her a shot at communications director.
