Actually, I think what you meant to say* was “I’ll tell Tbogg what I want to read whenever I…”.

*Which, in turn, should be read as “I think what you should have said was…”

hamletta, I’ll tell Tbogg what to write about whenever I feel like it. He doesn’t have to listen. I do feel like his sometimes more serious tone reflects the seriousness of the times. But the greatest master of snark the world has ever seen shouldn’t forget about the snark, even if he is more and more obliged to deal seriously with serious issues.

CarlJohnson, I don’t recall seeing your name on the masthead as “managing editor,” so it would behoove you to have a big cup of STFU before presuming to tell even a somewhat popular blogger what he should and shouldn’t write about.

And if you ever use the word “biofuels,” we’ll have you put to sleep, saw off your forearm, and present it to Sarah Palin.

Thank you for playing!

As to the topic at hand: Yes, I know real hunters, and this crap grosses them out.

…..I hope she says something sooooo fucking stupid in that debate tomorrow night that they’ve gotta pause for instant replay to make sure they really heard it.

It’s enough to break my heart just looking at the pic on top of the post. I will dispatch a contribution to Defenders of Wildlife post-haste, and urge anyone who can spare any $$ to do the same.

I love animals. I hate that woman. It is beyond snark.

didn’t Myth Alaska just tell us that “Alaska is a microcosm of America!”?

Yes, but be fair. She had no idea what that meant.

Yes, I was going to say if there are enough red wolves left to say get up a good volleyball game, they would be in the mountains of Mexico.
As for the whining kneejerk wingnuts, the only post I’ve read about this ad from a true lefty was Al Giordano, and he was pissed at them for A. leeching off of Obama for fundraising and B. hurting his carefully crafted message, especially in Ohio and the rustbelt.

First of all, concerning this twerp’s concern about the ad showing in Florida, didn’t Myth Alaska just tell us that “Alaska is a microcosm of America!”? I thought so.

Second, said twerp wouldn’t be worried about it if he didn’t know the practice of aerial hunting is reprehensible, and that it will resonate with voters to see Rin Tin Tin running terrified and then mown down.

I have a solution for Jim, though. Stop hunting the fucking wolves from airplanes, and we’ll quit showing this fucking ad. Deal?

I now plan to shoot both ground squirrels AND dickhead republicans on my property. They’re both fucking useless.

Yeah, I too have dreams of the corporate directors of Exxon rolling through our community because they got lost on the way to one of Dinesh D’Souza’s fundraisers. The meat on that chunky one alone, if properly frozen or smoked, would offset enough of my grocery bills to pay for the new fencing. (And without the danger of those nasty prions associated with ground squirrels!)

This ad has proven to be very effective:

Let’s hope that it is played more widely.
