  • Left & Right Unite in Mirth Over David Brooks' Tacky Wedding Registry

    Self | May 3, 2017 | PJ-Comix
    Okay, we have read a lot recently about the irreparable divide in American politics nowadays. However, I am happy to report that there is one thing about which the left & right are in mirthful unity about: the incredibly tacky David Brooks wedding registry. Brooks got married again last Sunday after dumping his wife of 27 years for a much younger mate. That actually isn't the funny part. The laughter comes from the wealthy columnist and his bride publishing online (since taken down) of a wedding registry consisting of expensive as well as tacky items. The question is why even...

    FAYETTE COUNTY, Pa. - A woman claimed to be Hillary Clinton after leading police on a chase over state lines into Pennsylvania, according to authorities. Police in Maryland were pursuing 36-year-old Holly Donahoo, of Kentucky, on suspicion of driving under the influence. The chase continued along National Pike into Fayette County, where Pennsylvania State Police used spike strips to stop Donahoo. Donahoo refused to get out of the car, so police had to force her out. She was taken to a hospital, where she refused blood alcohol testing and kept identifying herself as Clinton.
  • Rush Limbaugh played the media for millions in free advertising

    Rush Limbaugh is a marketing/entertainment/semi-conservative genius. He deliberately asked the question "Why would anyone want to vote Republican?" knowing the desperate Democrats & media propagandists would jump on it to TRY to discourage people from voting Republican. The leftist liberals swallowed the bait whole as Rush played sound bite after sound bite of liberals quoting Rush as having questioned Trump. As they claw to swim to the top of the political pool in which they are drowning and gasp for air, they fell for it hook, line and sinker. ROFL.

    Kinvig on Politics ^ | 5-2-2017 | Cameron Kinvig
    There comes a time within the bounds of human decency and national consciousness where the populace needs to stand up and declare that “enough is enough.” With regard to the political discourse in America, that time is now. On the evening of May 1, late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert decided to push well beyond the confines of acceptable political dialogue. When speaking of Trump’s first 100 days in office, he dove deep into the realm of crass, witless, maliciously defamatory humor that is neither acceptable within our honorable society nor protected by the Constitution of the United States. In...

    Documentary filmmaker and leftist activist Michael Moore hopes wrestling superstar-turned Hollywood A-lister Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson takes on Donald Trump as a Democratic candidate for president in 2020. “Run the Rock! Run the Rock. Who do you want for commander in chief? I want the Rock! It would scare anybody that would hurt us,” Moore told Variety in an interview published Monday. “Think about how safe we would be if the Rock was president,” Moore continued. “Not Vin Diesel! The Rock. Or Liam Neeson, but Liam Neeson can’t run because our Constitution says you have to be born here. So...

    We need to talk about Fox News Channel’s female hosts and their relationship with pants. Well, people have been talking about it for years, but in the last few weeks, there’s been less talk and more action on the part of the on-air talent themselves. Every time pants appear on a woman on Fox, the tweets start coming and our “tips” inbox fills up with viewers curious to know if the ousting of Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly and the resignation of Bill Shine have ushered in a new era at Fox News. To answer that, we need to look...

    Offended? Go hassle Merriam-Webster, not us Apple fanbois are officially sheeple. So says American dictionary Merriam-Webster.The American lexicologists added the term of endearment to their tome yesterday, a mere 72 years after its first recorded use in the English language.Helpfully, and entirely non-inflammatorily, Merriam-Webster's people gave two examples of "sheeple" being used in a sentence. The first was a fairly neutral example of a farmer being rude to his neighbours. The second... well, here it is for your amusement/enragement (delete as appropriate):Apple's debuted a battery case for the juice-sucking iPhone – an ungainly lumpy case the sheeple will happily shell...

    Are you inclined toward verbal slicing and dicing, without bloodshed? Or, do you prefer to couch what you say in clever or unique phrasing? Then euphemisms could be your go-to mode of communication. Saying what you mean can get you in trouble especially if the words are spot-on blunt. Far too many folks are faux-squeamish when it comes to what hits their eardrums, but only in public. In private, their vocabulary and cruelty would make a drill sergeant blush. There are ways of skirting awkward or crass language. You simply get creative and rely on euphemisms. Be warned. Euphemisms can...
