Is it possible that WorldNut Daily, like the shambles of the imploding political party it purports to represent, might–like an aircraft carrier being frantically laden by demented seamen with improbably harvested chunks of neutron star–actually sink once and fo all under the weight of its own colossal lunacy?
With this story–and I’m linking to Salon’s take [...]

It’s about time: WND finally admits that Obama is the Antichrist

Good thing that even in this economy, there’s ample straw to be had
Not too parodic:
The Liberal Rules
By Dave in Suncook on Thu, 07/30/2009 – 17:40
You have to know the rules.
You are not a real Black person unless you are a Liberal.
You are not a sucessful woman Gov.just a sleasy airhead unless you are a Liberal.
You are always wrong,even when proven right,unless you are a Liberal.
You are a [...]

A step beyond birther bullshit
Not to be content with the mere nuttiness of the workaday birther “movement,” Gribbit has again gone a step further into outright crazyland by proposing that Barack Obama may not be eligible for the presidency because, he claims, Obama renounced his U.S. citizenship when he enrolled in a private school in Indonesia as a youngster [...]

Ben Stein takes a dump on his keyboard (again)
From Friday’s American Spectator:
[American voters] ignored [Obama's] anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.
They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a “community organizer,” Illinois state legislator, and Senator.
The [...]

Irony: the chief export of right-wingers
This is interesting, but not surprising:
After a couple of weeks of self-doubt and questioning brought on by those on the left whose goal it is to silence those who seek out and discuss the truth regarding the agenda of the left, I have spent the day devouring the writings of others like me who doubt [...]

Funniest online newspaper comment of the day (so far)
In the course of arguing on the Web with a particularly virulent wingnut who was bitching about liberal media bias, I mentioned that journalists (and specifically newspaper reporters) tend to have higher-then-average IQ’s, thereby making them more likely to lean to the left. (The IQ thing is true, according to something I read a long [...]

Another right-wing lie: Holdren favors eugenics
It’s hard to keep track of even a small fraction of the lies right-wingers are busy crafting and propagating at any given time; after all, this is pretty much all they do these days. One favorite is condemning President Obama’s “science czar,” John Holdren, for allegedly supporting eugenics. One of the co-morons behind Granite Grok, [...]

“Faith is the willingness to look foolish”
So admits this guy, but without taking this to its logical and necessary conclusion: The kind of faith he’s talking about is foolish. When literally billions of people praying to the same God have received absolutely nothing in return but dead silence for thousands of years, it’s time to re-evaulate your belief in that God–or [...]

Pharyngula, The Intersection, Unscientific America, and crap
Many of you have probably been following the increasingly tense and raucous exchanges between PZ Myers of Pharyngula and Chris Mooney and Sheril Kirshenbaum of The Intersection (like the Chimp Refuge formerly part of the ScienceBlogs.com network but now part of the Discovery group). To summarize, Chris and Sheril have just co-authored a book called [...]

Granite Grok remains a locus of mindlessness and bullshit
I hadn’t looked at the output of these snapperheads in a while, but they’re always good for some inane Democrat-bashing, so I wasn’t surprised to see that Skip and Doug are eagerly supporting health-care “tea parties” despite the non-impact and inanity of the last round of such efforts. I’ve started to think that anyone who [...]

Gribbit is back, and he’s bringin’ the ‘tard
Gribbit recently took a hiatus from blogging on his own site because he was tired of being beset by facts and reasons from libtards, and spent a week lending his stupidity to the notably ramshackle locus for seething wingnuts that calls itself “Stop the ACLU” despite being neither willing nor able to accomplish that heroic [...]

Another creationist dinosaur museum!
Brace yourselves–the drool-bib brigade has been hard at work in fossil country. The Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum, operated by a group calling itself–with hilarious but typical inappropriateness–FACT (Foundation Advancing Creationist Truth), recently opened in the middle of nowhere in eastern Montana.
Why erect such a monument to the far-flung failure of the human intellect? Simple:
The [...]

Funny bullshit advertisement
I just had a Firefox crash, and when I restarted the browser I was inexplicably presented with a window open to a site called thedailyheralds.com. Here’s what I saw (click the image for a readable version):
“What I coincidence,” I thought. “I live in Dover, too!” Actually, I didn’t think it was a coincidence at all. [...]

More information emerges about the Bush spying programs
Think Progress is one of numerous outlets reporting on details of Bush’s surveillance efforts, which appear to have been (gasp) much more petetrating and extensive than previously revealed:
Bush’s Secret Spy Programs
When Congress passed the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 last year, it mandated that the inspectors general of the different branches of the intelligence community that [...]

Orangutan escapes enclosure in Australia zoo
A 15-year-old female orangutan named Pulang, most likely bored out of her mind, used a rope to swing onto a fence, which she then climbed over with ease. But apparently nonplussed by her own ingenuity, she climbed right back in again.

Kim Jong-il has pancreatic cancer
Karma is a bitch.
Hopefully he won’t be allowed to do any apocalyptically stupid things before drawing his last foul, crazed breath.

Gay marriage opponents are committed to saying asinine things
Here’s another dose of verbal vomit from OneNewsNow.com, that lovably corrupt arm of the American Family Association that makes me want to go out and gently set fire to as many churches as possible.
Maine citizens are taking a stand against the state legislature over homosexual “marriage.”
I love it when these “people” use scare quotes in [...]

Dave Chappelle helps Oscar the Grouch tell it like it is
I was born at about the same time Sesame Street was and grew up religiously wed to the show, but it’s too bad Chappelle wasn’t around then to lend his insights.

A perfect example of how wingnuts exemplify strident ignorance
This should do it:
A new poll shows that President Obama continues to have high job approval ratings in New Hampshire.
The latest University of New Hampshire poll shows that 61 percent of the adults polled say they approve of the job Obama is doing, 33 percent disapprove and 6 percent are neutral. The figures are similar [...]

AC/DC vs. Angelo Badalamenti
I’ve seen and heard some strange music-video and straight radio hybrids, but for now this one tops them all. It melds a live AC/DC performance of with footage from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks prequel Fire Walk With Me, and mashes the Australian rockers’ “The Jack” with Angelo Badalamenti’s “The Pink Room.” Somehow, it works. The [...]

Wurth-Thomas 3:59.98 in Rome: U.S. women milers rage on
Christin Wurth-Thomas may not have won the race–no one could touch Maryam Yusuf Jamal tonight–but her 3:59.98 for 1500 meters, which earned her second place in a typically formidable Golden League field, makes her the second American woman to dip under four minutes in 2009, with Jennifer Barringer having run 3:59.90 at the Prefontaine Classic [...]

Nicole Bobek arrested on meth charges: What is it with women figure skaters?
Nicole Bobek, who won the 1995 U.S. Figure Skating Championship and was a member of the 1998 Olympic team, was arrested on Monday on charges that she had conspired to distribute methamphetamine.
The picture on the left is from 1998, when she represented the United States in Nagano. On the right is her arrest mug shot.

Tsk, tsk: The ignorant public can’t dictate scientific research!
The shitbirds at OneNewsNow.com, the “news” arm of the American Family Association, are unreal. Actually, they aren’t; their brand of reportage is all over the place, and it’s as if they’re engaged in a contest with Christian Newswire, Focus on the Family, the Family Research Council, the Family Fuckface Association, Focus on the Fuckface, [...]
