Wednesday Open Thread

icon_thread.jpgNew co-host of The View, Sherry Shepherd, does not believe in evolution, nor does she know if the world is flat. Obviously, she is the only possible person in the world they could have hired to make Elizabeth Hasselbeck look good.

This is what would happen if YouTube commenters lived in the real world. Language NSFW.

TimesSelect to end today. That means David Brooks’ columns are worth exactly what you now pay to read them.

Kanye outsells 50 Cent.

Has comedian Kathy Griffin found love with uber-geek Steve Wozniak? I hope those two crazy kids can make a go of it!

    :| Color me shocked.

  • Chicken-suit call:

    Saxby doesn't have the balls to stand up for the fascist he is in denying haebeus corpus restoration. He ducks with a "not voting" rather than be stuck with the GOP in tearing off scraps of the Constitution to wipe their asses with.

    So, one fun idea in the hopper for the next year.

  • I see Lieberman voted no, I guess the "message received" wasn't received after all.

  • Let's look at the messages Lieberman received.

    1) Dump Party - Run as Independent... Win.

    2) Win as Independent - Win from FORMER party ...

    a) Chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

    b) Subcommittee Chairmanships in Armed Services.

    All brought to you by the citizens of CONNED-neticut.

  • If we make some pickups in the next run (and if there is justice in the world), I see Joe getting himself a nice cushy spot on the Senate Subcommittee for Latrine Duty.

    God also blessed him with looking like a worm in his old age to match his behavior.

  • Top 10 reasons people stop 50 feet short at a red light:

    10. They're on the cell phone and only have minimal awareness of their surroundings.

    9. There is a cloud of black smoke spewing out of the exhaust of the car ahead and they don't want to suffocate.

    8. They don't want to actually be right beside the car in the next lane to avoid any possibility of interaction.

    7. They are paranoid about getting hit from behind and feel that they better leave a lot of space in front so that they aren't shoved into the car ahead.

    6. They're afraid the car ahead may accidentally slip into reverse and crash into them.

    5. They want to get a running head start when the light turns green.

    4. They are anarchists and want to make sure that one less car makes it through the intersection than otherwise might.

    3. They need new glasses.

    2. They need a brake job, including a "friction reline".

    And the number 1 reason why people stop 50 feet short at a red light is:

    1.

    It's an ego thing. If they stop early and then creep up, all the cars behind them have to creep up too!
