Tattoo of Sarah Palin on buttock

I send you flowers
Good flowers for your heart
I know your garden is full
But is there sweetness at all?

• She’s the butt of jokes [pictured]. She’s an ass. She’s got flabby cheeks. You can just sit on her. Okay, there are too many jokes to count for this travesty.

• Rachel Maddow on the hypocrisy of Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) in refusing to punish, using his own legislation, a fellow Republican senator who was caught lying about his military record.

• Oh, come on. Just give them the money. And the slot machine malfunctioned twice in three months?

• Clarification: it’s simply a beautiful thing.

• I dunno if this facepalm-inducingly stupid story is representative of the whole NAACP, but they seriously need to get a clue. And, as Radley Balko points out, a friggin’ hearing test.

• More on bigoted jackass Sen. Jake Knotts (R-SC) and his “raghead” comments.
  (via The Agitator)

• Shocker: The “Family Research Council” (read: Archaic Bullshit Group) actually lobbied against a condemnation of the Ugandan Kill-the-Gays law. So, they’re in favor of gays being imprisoned and murdered, then. Once again, glad that’s all cleared up.

• More evidence that illegal immigrants aren’t the problem, least of all when it comes to crime.

• For once, I disagree – somewhat strongly – with Pat Condell, on the subject of the proposed Islamic center with mosque that’s to be built a few blocks (not yards, as he incorrectly stated) from “Ground Zero”. Once again, people: it’s just a freaking mosque. It’s not a giant middle-finger to America or the victims of 9/11, and IMO, it takes delusion, paranoia or blind hatred to see it that way. Its placement is the result of convenience with regards to zoning laws and demand, nothing more. I also believe it takes a fair amount of credulity (if not to say foolishness) to believe that even our lazy-spined politicians could actually consent to a mosque in such an area if they actually had any reason to believe it were a symbol of Islam’s triumph over 9/11 or whatever. Once again: get over it.

As always, if you have any story suggestions, feel free to send them in.
