Poke’s on You!
Look! We got a poke suggestion from Facebook. This is not photoshopped, we promise. It’s Rep. Lindsey Holmes (D—>R – Anchorage)! May it be in the virtual eye?
America’s Congresswoman
As the 113th Congress is sworn in, The Mudflats salutes one of our nation’s—nay, one of Western Civilization’s—most distinguished legislators. Minnesota’s 6th is represented by Freedom, and Freedom takes its oath of office today. Michele stands ready to address the concerns of America’s corporate leaders! The book the liberal media doesn’t want you to see! Which is why you’ve had such a difficult time finding it: Rep. Bachmann’s totally heterosexual husband Marcus simply cannot keep his paws off her! Get a room, you two! Michele was truly moved this Christmas when fans from across America sent her…
عيد ميلاد مجيد
Today is for peace on earth and human solidarity, not partisan snark. In that spirit, we dedicate to our brothers and sisters in the Tea Party this gorgeous version of “Silent Night” in Arabic:
Merry Christmas, Mudflatters!
Here’s a Christmas card from all the crew here at Mudflats Central to bring you cheer. We’re hoping you and yours have safe, healthy, and happy holiday. Merry Christmas, Mudpuppies! The blogosphere just wouldn’t be the same without you.
Kim Jong Un – Sexiest Man Alive!
It happens every once in a while, and it’s always good for a chuckle. Someone reads The Onion, the greatest news satire site on the web, and thinks one of the stories is real. But it isn’t often that they fool an entire news outlet. China got onioned. BEIJING – The online version of China’s Communist Party newspaper has hailed a report by The Onion naming North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un as the “Sexiest Man Alive” — not realizing it is satire. The People’s Daily on Tuesday ran a 55-page photo spread on its website in a tribute to…
A Classic Thanksgiving Favorite…
May your hearts be as full as your bellies. Thanks to all you wonderful Mudflatters for your faithful readership, your insightful comments, your thoughtful donations, and your awesome and magnificent brains. And here, for old time’s sake, is a true Thanksgiving classic. Oh, yes. We went there.
The Revenge of the Party Planner
11 days until the election, and the hilarious drama is flying. The mayor’s (errr) “Party Planner” has been a busy bee this campaign season. She’s been seen at the event coordinating the merger of church and state that gloated about data mining Alaskans’ private information, she showed up clad in classy faux leopard with “too crazy even for the Republicans” Judy Eledge as her date for a candidate forum, staffed Cathy Giessel at the Running debate, and now this… Petulantly clicking on her 7 inch heels, she stomped up to Senator Hollis French at a recent candidate forum, stuck out…
Thong Wars
With only 13 days left until the election, we sit glued to the TV watching swing state polls, national trends, and of course the slugfests we call “debates.” We’re spending a lot of time guessing where people will put their votes, and analyzing what campaigns are getting whose money. And yet with all the political speculation, nobody has asked the question – who are we putting in our pants? Sure, people are willing to wear t-shirts with one-liners like: “I’d rather vote for the mormon than the moron” or “Romney for President – of the Cayman Islands” But who gets…
Open Thread – Lizz Free or DIe
Friend of the Mudflats, Lizz Winstead has a banner day coming up! Her book ‘Lizz Free or Die’ will be out in two days! If you’ve never had the pleasure of hearing Lizz interviewed, or seen her live comedy, you’ve missed out. She is one amazingly talented, insightful, and brave woman. The fact that she’s hilariously funny doesn’t hurt either. Shannyn and I got the privilege of hanging out with Lizz when Netroots Nation went to her home town of Minneapolis last year. We got the royal tour, and had a blast. Then, she returned the visit and came…
Open Thread – Cinco de Mayo… sort of
If you thought you missed Cinco de Mayo, you may have another chance if you live in Anchor Point, Alaska. Hey, at least they tried. [h/t Mr. Whitekeys]
