Chubby Chick in Sexy Underwear Gets Text Message: ‘Meet Dan for Lunch’

Could this be a reference to notorious chubby-chaser Dan Collins? Never mind. Frankly, we like ladies somewhere in the range between “a little more to love” and “never missed a biscuit.” More to love and all that. So we were pleased to see that when it came time to post a scandalous plus-size lingerie video, our friend Donald Douglas […]

‘This Is Alabama. We Speak English.’

And the street signs are also in English. So why is the state giving drivers’ license exams in 12 different languages? Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim James asks the common-sense question: Rachel Maddow says the ad “strikes me as just plain mean,” and lefty-blogger Heather at Crooks & Liars says, “This guy is about as subtle […]

What Kind of Totalitarian A–hole Would Object to ‘Downfall’ YouTube Parodies?

These folks don’t attack America because of […]

‘Build The Party, Trust The People,
Save The Country’–McCotter At SRLC

by Smitty Thaddeus McCotter is heroic. He starts off with an “simple country lawyer” reference, going back to Anatomy of a Murder, and continues through a rousing speech with punchline sufficiently arid for Steven Wright. Thaddeus McCotter: because not all rhetoric has to be served in ALL CAPS with a shot of adrenaline. Update: Moelanche!

Ilya At Notre Dame

A Samuel Adams Quotation

by Smitty If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom–go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms.

VIDEO: New Marco Rubio Ad; PLUS: Rudy Giuliani vs. Arianna Huffington

On the heels of Marco’s endorsement by Rudy Giuliani — Sorry Charlie made the always-dangerous mistake of double-crossing an Italian — the Rubio campaign rolls out this warm, positive ad: FLORIDA SENATE: Key Race Roundup By the way, on “Morning Joe” today, Arianna Huffington and Giuliani had an interesting go-round: Why is Arianna defending Charlie Crist?
