Uh, no trigger warning?

your link doesn't work. It tells me I can't login to the admin pages.

Try this.

[UnCivilServant]

No, I am morally opposed to visiting the Huffington Post.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Not enough Ed. Too much host.

[Ed]

I think they lost the connection with me at the top there and then never came back to me even when they got the connection back. I had more to say about the stuff that came after I was dropped than before too.

[Sevo]

It was the Obama jokes; 'oops, technical difficulties!'

[Rich]

Well, I *did* learn about an excellent opportunity to purchase a nice nuclear bunker. Libertopia, anyone?

[~Knarf Yenrab~]

Unless the bunker's spacious enough to accommodate every surviving statist, no libertopia.

HuffPo's headline, ah, put it a little differently: Obama Gives Most Amazing Interview Ever To Zach Galifianakis

Making MSNBC look objective since 2007.

[mr simple]

Seriously, there is not a more closed, dem fellating org out there is ther? At least I don't want to know about on if it exists.

[Brandon]

There is not. Which is why Arianna gets invited to all the white house parties.

[mr simple]

Add 'e's as necessary.

[Brett L]

MSNBC. HuffPo at least gave Balko a column.

[Brandon]

HuffPo buried Balko's column for 2 years.

[~Knarf Yenrab~]

Maybe they meant amaze in the Old English sense of "drive insane."

It can't even be the best episode of Between Two Ferns.

I'm particularly fond of the Natalie Portman interview, in which she is (acting) incredibly uncomfortable and creeped out the whole time.

"When you filmed V for Vendetta, you shaved your head. Did you also shave your V for Vagina?"

"Um... PASS."

[Notorious G.K.C.]

Wow, I can't even spell Galifianakis!

Of course, he wasn't president at the time.
