Another reason to love internet memes

Nothing will ever beat I Am Aware of All Internet Traditions as far as I'm concerned, but this is all kinds of win.

All you need to know about the Republican candidates

This is all they've got:

Funny how many people in this video are male.

Meet Rick Perry

Note to Rick Perry: If you're going to run for president, it's probably not a good idea to get caught in poses that confirm what people whose votes you're going to need may already think about you:

I really need better posting titles.

Then when Memeorandum links to my posts, they'd look as funny as Tbogg's do.

Here's how demented I am

The first thing I thought of when I heard that "In the Arena" with Eliot Spitzer was cancelled was that "Weiner/Spitzer" would be a great name for an evening talk show.

(I think it'd be entertaining as hell, too.)

You know, Sarah, you can take something for that

It happens more often once you get north of age 45. I take Tums unless it gets too bad; if it's really severe I take a Zantac 75.

If you think you've got fire in your belly now, wait till you start living on a diet of corn dogs, funnel cakes, and fried butter on the campaign trail.

The problem is that the lunatics will start believing this

Best. Blog. Comment. Ever.

Comment to this article indicating that YHWH was once worshipped side-by-side with a fertility goddess names Asherah (known in other traditions as Ishtar). The article refers to Asherah as "God's wife".

Hi, God's wife here. Yes, I exist and let me tell you, it's a hard life, looking after the old man. For one thing he moves in mysterious ways, which might sound romantic but it can get pretty irritating during the course of eternity. I'm like, still still and eat your lunch, can't you? But it's been better in the last couple of thousand years because his only son has been sitting on his right hand, which restricts his mobility a little. But I wish he'd pay more attention to me. Uh oh, gotta go. He was playing with one of his planets again and he's completely trashed part of it. Now he's going to be depressed and start bitching about the atheists and how no one worships him the way they did in the old days, with the sacrifices and the burnt offerings. Boy, he loved those burnt offerings. I tell him, make your own burnt offerings already, Mr omnipotent smarty-pants, but he says it's not the same as when a bunch of ignorant, terrified humans do it. No fun. And he's a jealous God, too, but don't get me started on that. Okay, can't stay here gabbing all day. A woman's work is never done.

I still miss their old voices...

...but it's nice to see Statler & Waldorf again:

(h/t: FDL, because I had no idea that there was NEW Muppets material on YouTube.)

This is what happens when you try to have constructive dialogue with a Republican

Too bad you'll never see a woman feel comfortable doing this

A rebuttal to "Old Spice Guy":

Oh, sure, it's homophobic and sexist. And "Old Spice Guy" does have that winning combination of being ridiculously handsome, having great comic timing, AND perhaps the most musical name EVAH. But when Jennifer Hudson is shilling for Weight Watchers, I'm not holding my breath for Gabourey Sidibe to be the new face of Chanel.

Am I a bad person because I thought this was funny?

It came from Joe. My. God. Does that make it OK? Or am I violating the "It's Only OK to Knock Your Own Team Rule? I'm not sure....

If he can turn lemons into lemonade, does that make him Jesus?

D.C. Douglas, formerly the Geico voiceover guy, shows there IS life after blacklisting. Hysterically funny life at that, too:

An unintentionally hilarious quote to end your week

As you may have heard, the Washington Times is up for sale, because the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's children can't agree on whether to continue to shovel money down the black hole that is the "newspaper". Apparently the entire operation is coming apart:

Meanwhile, staffers who have survived a series of draconian layoffs report that snakes and mice have slipped into the newspaper’s building because the owners can’t afford exterminators to combat the infestations.

“There was a three-foot-long black snake in the main conference room the other day,” said reporter Julia Duin. “We have snakes in the newsroom.”

And this differs from the paper in its heyday....how?

Thanks everyone, you've been a great audience. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Yeah. Because Rachel Maddow is such a rubber stamp for the Democratic hackocracy

Wow. Health care reform is only a day old and already Scott Brown's brow is sweating:

Don't forget to read the crawl at the bottom of the screen. It's hilarious.

Wednesday Big Blue Smurf Blogging: Cover your keyboard with plastic sheeting and duct tape before reading edition

The other day I was reading this post at Jezebel about so-called "purity balls" and one of the fathers in the piece set of loud alarms and screeching sirens in my own personal gaydar. (If you go over there, you'll see the one I'm talking about.) If I do say so myself, I have pretty good gaydar for a straight person. I'm not about outing, though, mostly because there are people who are so much better at it (and far more influential) than I am. But then there are those who transcend sexual orientation, who manage to get the point across without ever using the word "closet."

I bring you, Gen. J.C. Christian, Patriot.

Oh. Never mind.

The funniest post you will ever read. But you have to read it CAREFULLY. It took ME a minute to get it.

Friday Cat Blogging: Save the Twelve Bucks Edition

Look, I like a brooding, sensitive type as much as the next somewhat neurotic female. But there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the Twilight movies that appeals to me. If you're like me, you'll be happy then to be able to go through the entire story in five minutes here...in lolcat form.
