Levi Johnston Names Second Baby After Gun

We’d like to take a break from the trivial, frivolous matter of election integrity to delve deeply into a critical piece of developing news… Levi Johnston, the ex-fiance and baby daddy of former Dancing With the Stars celebrity Bristol Palin, and also former ex-almost-son-in-law of the former ex-half-governor and former-almost-second-in-command of these here United States, has gotten his current girlfriend Sunny Oglesby in the family way. Once again, the miracle of life began for Johnston on a camping trip, and once again, the pregnancy was unplanned. We do not know if wine coolers were involved this time. “We were out…

Open Thread – Attempted Murder

There are all kinds of different categories for groups of animals – herd, flock, school, gaggle, pod, covey, pack… But, I’ve always thought the corvids had the most interesting. First, there’s a murder of crows. That’s what made me unable to stop laughing at the image above. But here’s the strange thing. Ravens come in an unkindness.

Are we really surprised that Alaska is overrepresented in anything having to do with bizarre politics? No, we are not. Inspired by the very strange Herman Cain ad, in which his campaign manager, as a finale, takes a nice deep drag off a half-smoked cigarette, followed by a cutaway to an extreme closeup of Herman Cain staring in to the camera and taking a full ten seconds to finally and veeery sloooowwwly smile, the Washington Post has posted the top ten most bizarre political ads of all time. Guess who won the top spot? Anyone living in Alaska at the…

Open Thread – GOPumpkins from AAAA! to ZZzzzz….

Well, I had good intentions. I was going to put up pictures of Jack O’Lanterns with the faces of each of the Republican candidates for President and make you pick which one was the scariest. But my little plan, as compelling as it was, fell short. Why? Because apparently, people who will carve pumpkins to look like anything and everything – with stencils and special tools, and instruction booklets – do not find all of the GOP primary candidates interesting enough to waste a perfectly good pumpkin. But, rather than abandon my mission entirely, I decided to post the only…
