Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) apologizes to his constituents for nude selfie.

He was in the pool!

[BestUsedCarSales]

Damn, ENB late with links? I hope she's okay.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Bucs how do you move around in all that shining armor? 😛

[BestUsedCarSales]

I'm naked under the armor and incredibly greased up.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

One wonders how you grasp your sword with that much grease.

[Jimbo]

I LOVE grease when grasping my "sword".

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

There must be a lot of long pubes getting caught and ripped out, and I am surprised you are ok with that.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I use a special braiding technique to avoid loose hairs running wild.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Are you licensed to perform such complex braids? Careful this is a government patrolled forum.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Yes, I make sure all of my illegal child squires are properly licensed for all tasks they perform.

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

Now the visual is complete.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

Bucs how do you move around in all that shining armor? 😛

Practice by dodging scimitars launched by moistened bints ...

[Anomalous]

ENB late? I hope that child is a masculine child.

I saw them. No need to apologize a'tall.

[Rich]

So, "it's twue!"?

[Fist of Etiquette]

...he wants the legislature to do away with the titles "gentleman" or "gentlewoman" in favor of "delegate," which is more "timely and appropriate."

Since none of them are gentle and they all like to pawn their duties to subordinates.

[Rich]

"The chair recognizes the delegate from the shitty county of Farquhar."

[Rat on a train]

It's pronounced Fucker County.

[Eidde]

At least the delegate wasn't from Norfolk.

[Fist of Etiquette]

British police are looking into a second sexual assault claim against actor Kevin Spacey.

It's all cocked up at his point.

Pretty sure they already know about the viruses they picked up from the dating sites.

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

We are, of course, talking about computer viruses, because there was no coitus on account of those dating sites.

Apologize for God's design?

[Arizona_Guy]

So I got in my car this afternoon. My Sirius Radio cut out for a few seconds as I drove under some power lines.

THANKS AJIT PAI!

Mark Zuckerberg masturbates furiously over his new role as Social Networking Chat Director of The World. Angela Merkel awaits at a sumptuous dinner.

[Bearded Spock]

Sorry, but you seriously need to re-write this. I read is as "Mark Zuckerberg masturbates furiously over....Angela Merkel"

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

I read is as "Mark Zuckerberg masturbates furiously over....Angela Merkel"

Yes

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Uh.. this better be accompanied with some safe spaces otherwise the afflicted will be left with no recourse other than self-consuming PTSD and eventual suicide.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Republican Rep. Kirk Cox, leader of the Virginia House of Delegates, said he wants the legislature to do away with the titles "gentleman" or "gentlewoman" in favor of "delegate," which is more "timely and appropriate."

Why not 'bitches'?

[Rich]

Why not "gentledelegate"?

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

Britches cannot be trusted to be on time.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

British police are looking into a second sexual assault claim against actor Kevin Spacey.

Good lord... that's like 70 accusations back on the pile. I'm looking at my stack, it's got coffee stains on it (among other stains)... I want fresh news. Hell, Nick Carter (recently outed as straight) is already like two hours old.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

The unsinkable indefatigable Roy Moore?

[BestUsedCarSales]

Obviously Alabama is not fond of the Democratic ticket.

[Anomalous]

Alabama rejected Mo Brooks for Mo Lester.

[Eidde]

Amusing...but many voters don't want to vote Dem as a protest against sex abuse - I can't understand it.

[lap83]

"While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had sexual relationships with other mature adult women," Barton, 68, said in a statement first reported by the Texas Tribune. "Each was consensual..."

I know I'm supposed to be outraged because he's a Republican, but I can't help but be impressed that he found willing recipients of his nude selfies

[Crusty Juggler]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Eidde]

How mature, Congressman?

[Crusty Juggler]

Eddie, it looked like a leather button on a grey sweater.

[Eidde]

If you mean what I think you mean, thank you for sparing me the effort of looking up that picture, not that I would have anyway.

Once you reach the insight that Congress members *are* dicks, even the women, then looking at their actual dicks becomes superfluous.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

I appreciate that he specifies he had sex with adult women.

[MarkLastname]

And consensual too. He may well be the most upstanding person in Congress.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Lady Doctor is still kosher, right?

NO THAT WAS NEVER OKAY. The preferred term is Doctoress.

Doctrix?

[Rich]

On Tuesday morning, 500 German police officers carried out anti-terror raids, detaining six Syrian refugees suspected of fighting for the Islamic State (ISIS). Authorities say they were planning a terror attack six days before Christmas. Reports suggest that the target may have been a Christmas market.

Obviously they were not Syrian-refugee Syrian refugees.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

This makes me sad all over. A Christmas catastrophe will come sooner or later.

[BestUsedCarSales]

It's tragic that everyone has already forgotten the events of Nakatomi Tower, 1988.

We said we'd never forget. What liars we humans are...

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

Yippie-ki-yay, homey!

[Rat on a train]

The Manhattan bombings of 1995 overshadowed that event.

[Rich]

Upon a midnight clear? 8-(

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

If "sooner" means "last year when a truck rammed a Christmas market in Berlin and killed 12", then the former is, indeed, true.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

I expect a Christmas day attack and something a bit more close to home.

[Rat on a train]

Red Sleigh Down!

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

So demanding! Careful with your tone young man, or Santa ISIS might not bring you anything this Christmas...

[Rich]

Meanwhile, it looks like Cong. Rohrabacher (R-CA) is an actual commie agent (according to establishment types who can't stand his sometimes libertarian streak.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I really do appreciate the irony of many leftward venues going whole hog into red-baiting recently.

[Rat on a train]

Easily debunked. Charlie don't surf.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Fine, but he is a Nazi. And we all know that Surf Nazis Must Die.

[Rat on a train]

Are they skeet surfing?

[Bearded Spock]

I apologize if I am insufficiently Woke on this subject, but wouldn't the woman* who leaked his pic on the interwebz be guilty of "revenge porn"? Or does that only apply to men?

*assuming, of course, he sent it to a woman

[BestUsedCarSales]

Obviously he leaked him himself to show off. WAKE UP SHEEPEL

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

Damnit, don't say that!

[sharmota4zeb]

Yeah, it's revenge porn. He might be able to press charges.

Sexual assault roundup, post lunch siesta edition.

For those who don't want to click through, it's the sailor kissing the woman in Times Square on the announcement of the Japanese Surrender.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I'm offended that they say no one ever mentions it. I've seen articles about that kiss many times over the years. You're not that fucking unique Independent.

[Fist of Etiquette]

News? They should call it olds. Am I right?

[BestUsedCarSales]

God bless you Fist.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Ugh.... an immortalized moment of pure elation reduced to base patriarchy. Man, ugh, I'm drowning today.

"It wasn't that much of a kiss," Friedman said in an interview with the Veterans History Project in 2005. "It was just somebody celebrating. It wasn't a romantic event."

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

They discovered (found) the Sailor who was in that picture in like the 1980s. He was 'unknown' until then.

I'm thankful for y'all, enjoy your holidays. Peace favor your sword.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Always get them mixed up with the Magnetic Fields.

But since you brought up The Sword

[Unicorn Abattoir]

Was never into their studio albums, but saw them live a few years back and was completely blown away.

[BestUsedCarSales]

It's just too chill for me.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

So many babes go to their concerts though.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I'm a metal and punk and experimental music guy. I'm a piece of shit and women don't like me anyway.

Though, I did just discover this chiller group called Brown Bird that I really like a lot.

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

What kind of metal? Lately I have been grooving to mellow folk metal instrumentals like Vali, Musk Ox, Wongraven, etc.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I tend to be into highly abrasive stuff. I have my classic standards like Judas Priest and Death (Maybe my two favorite bands). Lately, I've been going back and listening to Sigh and Suffocation. Plus, there is this new band called Xoth I like a lot, which is like 1950s Sci-Fi sounding metal.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Though I like a lot of music, as long as it tends towards heavy instrumentation. Country I've been slowly trying to get into since I fell in love with Hank Williams. Not exactly heavy instrumentation, but I don't aim for consistency when it comes to my likes.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

since I fell in love with Hank Williams

The Lost Highway gives me the feelz. Drunkenly wailed that song many a time.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Yeah, he's great. I remember one of his talking song where he has this little poem about his mom. Made me cry.

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

Sounds of Perseverance is an excellent album. I prefer Maiden to Priest, but I respect both.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Yeah, check out Symbolic and Human if you haven't. Those two and Scream Bloody Gore are considered the most definitive Death by most people. Though SBG is traditional Death Metal.

As for Maiden, I just can't get into them. They have a few songs I like, but I think they blend together way too much for me. While I listen to Sad Wings of Destiny end to end probably once a week.

[Chipper Morning Truthjammer]

Ha, I used to get Relix. They are still around?

The 50 Best Superhero Movies Of All Time

Tim Burton's Batman is criminally underrated, mostly because millennial fanbois are stupid and have stupid taste. Also, Watchmen should be ranked much higher.

Fucking nerds.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

This list should be aborted and the person who made it set on fire. Some how X3, possibly one of the worst movies of any genre ever ranks #35 and it says this:

In the worst film of the original X-Men trilogy, directed by the odious Brett Ratner, an omega-level Jean Grey poses an existential threat to the world. The suckiness of this movie is like a black hole that not even an atom of goodness can escape.

What is the The Last Stand's most iconic moment? Cyclops, the leader of the X-Men, is killed offscreen in the first 30 minutes of the film. It is the audience's first clue that this film will be well and truly bewilderingly shitty.

The 15 movies above this must have been the Chinese knockoffs.

[BestUsedCarSales]

God, their Iron Man 3 rule is horrible. They say it showed that the third movie will always be better than the second. Then cite Captain America. Winter Soldier is much better than Civil War.

What a weird list.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Iron Man 3 is the worst MCU movie I've seen. The villain is terrible, the Mandarin is terrible, the Extremis thing is stupidly done, Don Cheadle is reduced to a token black friend, Paltrow is terrible, the plot is terrible... Ugh. The only thing that works in that movie is Robert Downey Jr. ruthlessly mocking a small child for 20 minutes, and while that does make the movie worth seeing, it does not make it good.

At least IM2 had some great libertarian one-liners. "I have successfully privatized world peace!"

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

Christ, who cares. Who could care enough to get beyond a list of five or ten superhero movies?

[MarkLastname]

I already know that list is impossible, since Christopher Nolan only made 3 superhero movies, and even then only 2 were any good.

[Texasmotiv]

This is quite possibly the wrongest list ever compiled.

State attorneys general bash plan to hike national park fees
In related news, a group of state transportation secretaries signed a joint statement criticizing proposed changes to the Army Service Uniform.
The AGs say the increase is inconsistent with the laws governing the park system because the administration did not provide an economic analysis to support its claims that raising fees would increase revenue ... But the AGs say the increase actually could reduce the number of visitors and revenue.
So democrats finally believe in Voodoo Economics?

[Crusty Juggler]

Our greatest President, Teddy Roosevelt, would shed a tear if he knew the government was trying to keep poors out of our national parks.

[Eidde]

Greatest President? Who was Chester Arthur, chopped liver?

[Eidde]

They say that somewhere in a hidden chamber beneath Capitol Hill, President Arthur sleeps, and will awaken at the time of the country's greatest need, or when he gets hungry.

[Rat on a train]

That explains all the missing congressional pages.

[Eidde]

Sir, he was a gourmand, not a cannibal.

You mugs probably didn't cover this: Lena Dunham is accused of 'hipster racism' by writer of actress' weekly feminist newsletter Lenny Letter

She said Dunham and the women in her circle - whom she referred to as 'wealthy, with parents who are influential in the art world' - were notorious at the time for 'their well-known racism'.

'I'd call their strain 'hipster racism', which typically uses sarcasm as a cover, and in the end, it looks a lot like gaslighting--"It's just a joke. Why are you overreacting?" Clemmons wrote.

She claimed that one woman in the group was 'known to use the N word in conversation in order to be provocative, and if she was ever called on it, she would say "It's just a joke". I was often in the same room with her, but I never spoke to her, only watched her from far in anxiety and horror.'

Clemmons is not only a hero, she is pretty damn sexy, too.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

I totally covered this. I just didn't add the gore pic.

[Eidde]

So a hipster racist was racist before racism was cool?

[BestUsedCarSales]

There was an article on this yesterday I believe.

'I have sex with a doll four times a week and I'm saving for a sex robot - but my wife doesn't mind'

"When I take April out it's usually to a hamburger place where we can stop and get a bite to eat, a lot of people don't even notice she is not a breathing person.

"We usually have sex two to three sometimes four nights a week routinely. It's amazingly like having sex with a real woman, the biggest difference is whatever position you want them in you have to put them in, as they will not get there on their own.

"Doggy style is not a problem because their backs flex, you put it in whatever position you want.
"Every guy knows what it is like to slap a woman on the butt and this is not unlike the real thing.

"The sexual aspect of doll ownership is a very small part of it, what you find more pleasure from in the long run is looking after them, dressing them, putting on their make up and interacting with them. I feel deeply for her, more deeply than I had ever imagined.

Your reign of terror is over, ladies.

[Eidde]

Oh! You Beautiful Doll

[Eidde]

Eww, this guy makes jacking off look perverted.

[Pubic Pizza]

The thing about sex dolls is that you can't do full scat or piss play with them. Sure, you can shit and pee on their artificial flesh, but this can't be vice-versa. Until this is remedied, I'll stick to slathering myself with my own bodily fluids while jacking it to my imaginary wife.

I'm impressed by how much narrative the LA Times packed into a single story there. Now I remember why I haven't read that paper in decades.

I especially like how they delve into the political and policy implications Alabamans cite as concerns (SCOTUS & lower judge appointments etc.) as well as the overall majority of the senate and hence which party will be deciding on the laws for the next two years. Then dismiss it all as "tribalism". Cause I guess elections should be about choosing the guy with the cleanest record, not anything related to governing.
