Not too long ago I was walking home minding my own business when, out of nowhere, I was slammed over the head with what I can only describe as a a fan blade — a big one! As I lay on my stomach, with blood slowly seeping from my head, my pockets got rifled through by a photovoltaic cell. The turbine kept one blade on me and one on the street, a lookout. After they had their way with me and started to run, I yelled “Oil wouldn’t do this!”, I could hear them laughing and the solar cell screamed back, “You’re right, oild would’ve KILLED you!”

Has anyone else ever seen two high school girls in Taz t-shirts fighting over a dude with a mullet and a twenty-year-old Trans Am? Because I have, and it looked a LOT like this.

In the months that followed Obama’s “election,” we saw literally trillions of dollars in “urgent” bailouts and stimulus packages, all of which brought us escalating unemployment and a skittish if not paranoid stock market.
“Perfection” in its “inverse” form. I like how effect brings about cause.

We saw a nationally-loathed healthcare bill — gigantic in size and mysterious in content — rammed through Congress with bribes, threats, and intimidation.
Congress totally wanted it. Did you see that skimpy gavel she was carrying? And holding votes so late at night? Decent legislative chambers aren’t out so late, tempting legislators with their wide open vote calendars. It’s her own fault!

Get rid of the party in the back, and that chick almost has herself a mighty fine Rod Blagojevich on her head.
Well, it hides the unibrow nicely.
Unless…
IT’S A UNIBROW COMBOVER!

I miss the days when people like this would stand on the street corners, yelling and handing out tracts.
So that’s why National Review calls it’s blogs “The Corner”.

When libertarians pretend to be compassionate
You know that they are lying, as they are all sociopaths.

Oh, the Onion. You’re getting entirely outpaced by the people you’re mocking
I keep waiting for the day when the Onion’s front page just links to something like this Big Government piece and just says “fuck it, we quit. You win, retards.”
Who could blame them? This must feel like the people trying to print the currency in hyperinflation Weimar Germany.
“Jahwol, we’ve started production on the 100,000 mark notes boss.”
“Nein, they’re nearly worthless. Begin printing 1,000,000 notes.”
(phone rings)
“Ok, totally new currency, redesign all the bills and start over at 1, 5, 10 and 100…”
“1000″
“10,000″
“Fuck it, hey this Hitler guy has some neat ideas. Living space and racial purity huh…”

First they came for the custard vendors, and I didn’t speak up for I wasn’t a custard vendor.
Next they came for the frozen yogurt vendors, and I didn’t speak up for I wasn’t a frozen yogurt vendor.
Then they came for the ice cream vendors, and I didn’t speak up for I wasn’t an ice cream vendor.
Then they came for the sherbet vendors, and I didn’t speak up for I wasn’t a sherbet vendor.
Now, it’s summer, and it’s fucking hot, and I have no cold, sweet treats to NOM! NOM! NOM!

As always, h/t to all this week’s worthy contestants.
3 weird sisters 
Harumph. Passed over again. Perhaps I should mention guillotines more often.
Guillotines are lulz-worthy, but only insofar as they induce faux-hyperventilation in Atrios, who uses mentions of them (by certain persons only) as a reason for banishment, so he doesn’t have to openly reveal that he’s a king-sized douche who goes about looking for reasons for banishing certain persons because they aren’t sufficiently sycophantic to himself and his appointed circle of Kool Kidz. All the while tolerating serial trolls taking daily dumps in the punchbowl.
Other than that, they aren’t all that funny in and of themselves. But in that context they absolutely bring the lulz.
Where has Esteev been? I miss the guy!
OMG! Maybe he’s at the World Cup!
OMFG! Maybe he’s with Sipp E. Cupp!
