Unless your internets is broken and you don’t get all the channels, you’ve probably read or heard about angry right-wing assholes making a ruckus at town hall meetings around the country. Lawmakers on their August recess are meeting with constituents to hear their thoughts and concerns on proposed health care reform and they usually descend into hate fests and examples of failed anger management. What really bothers me about the coverage of these town halls is that it’s the angry, scared and stupid people getting all of the media’s attention so their noise is getting the most play. So the agitators rile up other potential agitators and then the crazy boils outta control. Effectively, it seems they’re controlling the debate. Their arguments against the proposed bill range from “health care reform costs” too much, to “I don’t want government intruding in our lives” to “government is getting carte blanche to kill your grandma and unborn children”. The almost unspoken subtext and bottom line to all of this anger is that they hate Barack Obama. They’ve showed up to the meetings with shit like signs picturing Obama rocking a Hitler moustache, or signs of Obama’s campaign insignia with a Soviet hammer and sickle. One dude showed up to an Obama town hall with a loaded gun. Continue Reading →

Sonia Sotomayor is for the Children
Sometimes I think Republicans are assholes just to be assholes. Asshole hyenas. The hyena is the animal kingdom’s asshat: ugly as fuck and it has a laugh that makes you want to slap the shit out of it. In the Spotted Hyena species, the female has a clitoris so large it’s practically a penis [||] (Ann Coulter? [||]). It scavenges for food and when it can’t find meat to steal, it hunts. Its rear legs are shorter than its front legs so it’s slow as shit. But what it lacks in speed, it makes up for in guile and tenacity. Hyenas usually hunt in packs and single out “least fit” prey. When there’s no slow prey to fuck with, they lock onto one vic and wear him down. A pack of hyenas will chase their prey for hours over miles until the animal is exhausted and eventually gives up the guts. Literally.
If you had watched the Republicans in Sonia Sotomayor’s Senate confirmation hearing, you would have seen asshole hyenas at work. They know she’s unfuckwitable. She’s intelligent, battle tested and perfectly suited for the job. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) admitted that barring a meltdown, she’s got a seat in the Judicial Branch. But that doesn’t mean they’d give up. They know she’s the faster, smarter animal but chase her relentlessly for miles, badgering her with the same inane questions day in and day out -because that’s what they do. Continue Reading →
Bill Clinton Says "I'm Still Black"
In an apparent attempt to reclaim the mantle as the first black president of the United States, former HWIC, Bill Clinton joins a black fraternity. While president Barack Obama was meeting with African heads of state in Ghana this past weekend, former president Bill Clinton was inducted into the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity at their 95th annual conclave.
Clinton joins other former presidents into the Sigma ranks including Ghana’s Kwame Nkruma, Nigeria’s Benjamin Nnamdi Azikiwe, and Liberia’s William Tolbert. Other notables include James Weldon Johnson, Emmitt Smith and the two primaries writers of this blog. Clinton is the first American president to be a member of a historically black fraternity.
