[Scarecrow Repair & Chippering]

Looks like even the golden dinner plate is unhappy and trying to twist and and twist until it tightens the rope around his neck.

[Ted S.]

It's a fucking slideshow list!

[loveconstitution1789]

Good riddance Obama!

[Domestic Dissident]

We officially hit the 100 hours left to go point at approximately 8 to 9 AM tomorrow morning.

[AlmightyJB]

Nice war boner

[AlmightyJB]

"President Barack Obama gazing upward at the White House portrait of John F. Kennedy captured the weight of the expectations he faced."

How am I going to top Marilyn Monroe?

[Fist of Etiquette]

All the best blondes are at Fox!

[AlmightyJB]

And he gets Lena Dunham

[Crusty Juggler]

With eighteen-year-old interns.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Is that a dead baby? Damn, Bagge, that's rough.

[The Fusionist]

Why did the dead baby cross the road?

It was stapled to the chicken.

[Fist of Etiquette]

What will history make of his health care overhaul? The assassination of Osama bin Laden? His deals with Iran and Cuba? Race relations?

Trump is going to undo all of them. That's right. I said all of them.

[PapayaSF]

Zombie Osama approves!

USDA report shows 10 percent of food stamps go to buying soda

[PapayaSF]

I don't see any reason why food stamp restrictions should not be extended to soda.

[The Last American Hero]

I don't see any reason why food stamps/SNAP cards should only be accepted at government food distribution warehouses.

[PapayaSF]

We don't need "government food distribution warehouses."

George Sr.: I haven't had a vacation in years. This is my vacation. I'm exercising, I'm sleeping well.

Michael: You're doing time.

George Sr.: I'm doing the time of my life.

I thought this was from the movie Going in Style, but apparently not; this is the quote from that movie:

Forget it. Al and Willie would both die if I gave that money back. Besides, Pete, let me tell you something. For the past couple of years, me, Al and Willie all sat on that park bench and looked at each other. Maybe a politician would come around and talk to us at election time, but that was about it. That was our life. Here I've got my own cell, with a toilet and a sink. Food's okay, and I'm feeling good. As a matter of fact, they treat me like a king around here. Everyone comes around to talk, and they all want to do me favors. Pretty soon they'll all wind up asking me where I hid the money. They don't know it, but they're all older than me.

Apparently the movie is being remade, although the plot is being changed to have the three elderly bank robbers rob it for taking their money. (In the original, it was because Social Security didn't pay enough and the three men needed something to do.) Because heaven knows we can't have a big bank portrayed neutrally these days.

Nash ran the school district's Twitter account. On Jan. 5, a student tweeted to the account, asking that schools be closed "tammarow."

Nash responded from the district's account, "But then how would you learn how to spell 'tomorrow?'"

[PapayaSF]

So now it's wrong to correct a student's spelling? WTF....

[esteve7]

i knew this was all going to shit when one of my college professors started using purple pen. Thank god I graduated.....

/ checks date

/ checks date again

what the fuck? 9 years ago????

Spelling and grammar is racist.

[commodious]

Professors need lessons in blackanese.

[BigT]

Red ink is the racist!

[Ted S.]

Correct the teachers who misspelled "potato" on the index card.

School Employee Fired For Tweet Correcting Student's Spelling

While I put some respeck on her name for her epic burn, why the fuck is a public school district spending 44,000 taxpayer dollars a year to "coordinate" whatever the fuck a "web experience" is, as well as "to run the district's social media accounts."

[esteve7]

Nothing left to cut, we need more money to the schools, blah blah blah

[Password: pode$ta]

It's weird to me how understanding and pleasant she was about the whole thing. Most people don't get canned over nothing and then say "Yeah I would've fired me too."

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

1984. She embraces her treatment.

[Derpetologist]

Allow me to answer your rhetorical question:

All govt agencies have an incentive to maximize costs in order to justify higher budgets.

[GILMORE?]

I have really been remiss in keeping up to date with the latest efforts of rappers to market themselves

its like someone looked at rappers like Feddy Wap and Wakka Flokka Flame and Lil Yachty... and thought, these people are being too-highbrow.

"They're shooting too-high in the age-demographic. 13yr olds are played out. We need to reach down to a younger audience. Like 4-7."

Apropos of mostly nothing- I wish just one of the morons who infest the airwaves hyperventilating about the horrible outcome of the recent election would offer some sort of remotely coherent definition of "hacked".

[Derpetologist]

I've noticed they've mostly moved on to calling it "meddling" or "interfering".

From the visual aids, hacking involves random green text on a CRT monitor. Usually footage from the Matrix or video games is shown. Variants of the phrase "Russia hacked the election" are repeated, as if the alleged hacking somehow altered the votes electronically.

[Sevo]

"I've noticed they've mostly moved on to calling it "meddling" or "interfering"."

Pretty sure they were flagged for goal post in motion...

[commodious]

Russian hacker unveiled.

[esteve7]

prog: "the election was hacked!"

no, you mean the *Democrats* were hacked. The DNC is not the fucking election

[kbolino]

The DNC is not the fucking election

Not at the national level. But thanks to Maryland's new constitutional amendment, the state Democratic Party gets to choose candidates without holding any vote. Boss Tweed looks longingly from his grave.

Nice cartoon, P-Bagg.

You ever play around with gifs with your images?

[Ted S.]

Please not GIFs substituting for video!

Gifs are awesome, brah.

Amusing:
Unverifiable Dossier Alleges Buzzfeed Is Bloated With Gluttonous Deviants

Heat Street reporters in the US and our much more cost effective outsourced reporters in Kazakhstan have been unsuccessfully investigating various allegations in the dossier for about 10 minutes, before we just said f?k it, may as well publish.

[Sevo]

More CIA arm-waving:

"Outgoing CIA Director John Brennan ripped into Donald Trump on Sunday for "talking and tweeting" about possibly easing sanctions against Russia, saying the president-elect lacks a full understanding of the threat Moscow poses to the United States."
http://www.sfgate.com/news/pol.....858612.php

Apparently Brennan is under the impression that the CIA sets policy rather than collects and delivers intel.
IOWs, siddown and shuddap.

[kbolino]

An understandable impression, given that it's been the case for the last 16+ years.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

[The Late P Brooks]

Here's another one I like:

"That big meanie Donald Trump picked a fight with John Lewis!"

I'm pretty sure Lewis started barking about Trump's lack of "legitimacy" before Trump tweeted anything about him.

I personally think a late night "Whatever, loser" wold have been a more than sufficient response, but let's try to keep the timeline straight.

Also- if some random back bench Republican had called Obama the Magnificent "illegitimate" '09 he would have been accused of sedition and high treason.

[Derpetologist]

So it turns out the inventor of FM committed suicide, despite a long and successful career. He had been spending most of his time in court dealing with patent lawsuits.

I'm sure they had an Clinton impersonator fucking goats in the background for balance, right?
