Blog Post Title of the Day

Toma at Thump and Whip: FTW.

Speaking of the National Catholic Register ...

... which we were, sort of, a short while ago, you simply must read Doghouse Riley's reaction to K-Lo.

[Added] And speaking of strange beliefs, see Roy Edroso and Brad Reed on the transhumanist fantasies of (g)libertarians.

Lack of Self-Awareness Watch

She still has no idea what's going on, does she?

Now, HERE is an article ...

... I'm sure most of the NYT newsroom has been dreaming about running, for decades.

What, too soon?

[Added] Stuef love:

Former Nixon CREEP And Baseball-Player Buyer George Steinbrenner Dies of Dick Cheney’s Disease

Now, that's headline writing we can believe in!

__________

[Added2] Oh, for fuck's sake:

Unsurprising that a classless fat load like K-Lo blew the spelling of bred.

__________

[Added3] MoDo tells an anecdote that will only make you love him more. Where "love," of course, is oppositespeak. (h/t: KK, via email)

Ha ha ha, that K-Lo

Remember the last time we took notice of this sad clown?

Believe it or not, it gets even stupider.

We may need to amend Roy's Rule.

So, I guess the crush on Mittens is over?

Fat, wingnutty, and stupid is no way to go through life, K-Lo.

Can't Resist

Great moments in conservative journalism

K-Lo posts:

K-Lo tweets:

the mustard instead of mayo substitute doesn't work 8 out of 10 times.

Try not to think about those two things together.

Neologism of the Month

The Republicans have their Santorum and now, the Democrats have their Stupak:

Stupak (n) - The sepsis commonly experienced after unsafe back alley abortions

This makes the baby whale cry.

__________

More on Stupak. (Pun intended.)

And be aware, as Scott Lemieux observes, there are …

… 26 Democrats now on the record as opposing expanded access to health care but who want to make sure that if health care passes despite them it should discriminate against women.

See the full hall of shame.

Even More Franken!

One of my bookmarked bookmarks ...

TS said this on 16 December 2008:

TS's Bookmarks.

I'm keeping this on ice. With the champagne.

Break it out!

Since Kathryn Jean Lopez has kinda sorta been fired between then and now, maybe we'd better have a screen grab, just in case:

We who laugh last ...

Speaking of Fat Loads ...

... from the National Review (cf.) who did not have a good time at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, editor Kathryn Jean Lopez is still fuming, according to your Wonkette.

The best part is where she calls Rush Limbaugh "a man who has struggled with adversity with an inspiring humility."

If that isn't a perfect measure of the wingnut mindset, I don't know what is.

Disturbing Wingnut Image of the Day

K-Lo … jumping out of a cake wearing only a Ronald Reagan mask …
-- TBogg

The real beauty of the post whence this was ripped is that it's all about Scolder-in-Chief Kathryn Jean Lopez scolding the Fatcats in Training Wheels Young Eagles for the big bash they're planning RIGHT AFTER --ZOMG-- B HUSSEIN X TAKES OFFICE!!11!1!!

Further Proof Of Google's Liberal BiasMarxist Homosexual Agenda

Just went to leave a comment on a blog hosted by Blogger (owned by Google of course!) and what do you suppose the CAPTCHA was?

And of course it's in oh-so-Politically Correct Green.

Paging K-Lo ...

By the way, the post is worth reading, if, like me, you're a fussbudget about language. (h/t: Sully)

There's Just Nothing To Say About This

Forget unintentionally hilarious. Self-parody? Not strong enough. Pots and kettles? Something about irony?

Two syllables: K-Lo.

What Freaks Me Out About This Election   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

is how oblivious to facts people have been.

Gap 2

Via Jed: Nice to see the boss has finally gotten on the same page:

Google employees have contributed $487,355 to Sen. Obama's campaign and $20,600 to Sen. McCain's as of Aug. 31.

I can think of a wingnut who won't be happy about this.

"Um, All of Them"

How long before the McCain campaign concedes to reality and invests in a roll of duct tape?

(alt. video link)

How long till the wingnuts start screaming (again) that Katie Couric's "What newspapers and magazines do you read?" represents gotcha journalism!!!1!?

[Added] Sadly, No! has more, including a defense of Palin's answer from (better sit down for this one) K-Lo.

A Note to the Editor of the National Review Online

I guess if this is the best possible picture of you, and you're only about 30, it's understandable why you might write something like this:

The Next Constituency, the Slut Vote? [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

Why did John McCain even bother with Madonna? Her whore-at-50-shtick is pathetic. I think we can ignore her latest p.r. stategy.

I can well imagine, Kathryn Jean, that Madonna has attracted a few more men than you have, so this explains where "slut" comes from: plain and simple jealousy.

But really, think about your past and present jobs before calling someone else a "whore." Heritage Foundation? National Review? You take money to make your mouth move the way your paymasters want, don't you?

Longer K-Lo: Gasbag Edition

(Because her "incisive" post was so short):

Hillary Clinton and John McCain wanna play dumb? They'll never hold a candle to me! As evidence, I hereby raise serious doubts about my ability to read. (You probably already knew that I know nothing about economics.)

---

The editors apologize for the apparent redundancy in the post title -- it was intended to give a hint about the issue at hand.

Worst Idea Ever

You know, there's blind love. There's wingnuttery. There's batshit insane. And then there's Kathryn Jean Lopez.

I usually let the good people at Outside The Tent and Sadly, No! dispose of the ruminations of K-Lo. But I couldn't let this one go:

Whatever your nits to pick, can anyone (who's not wrong!) disagree that George W. Bush is a human-rights leader of the kind that would be great to have at the United Nations when his term is over? Dubya for secretary general!

For the moment, let's ignore considerations of geographical cluelessness and a tendency to channel Nero in the face of natural disasters. Leave aside, as well, the worldwide hatred engendered by Bush's warmongering. What about, you know, class?

Do we really want the world's top diplomat to be someone who talks with his mouth full, and who believes the way to relate to female dignitaries is via winking and groping?
