When you’re trolling for fans on Mike Huckabee’s Facebook page: It’s not the most horrifying video linked there, actually. That honor goes to this. A.

Thursday Ferretblogging |
| By: Allison Hantschel Wednesday June 16, 2010 10:17 pm |
While I can’t lay claim to the awesomeness of bassets, I do share my house with three little furry terrors of my own. See, I wanted a damn pet rabbit. Mr. A, when we were out one day looking at bunnies, fell in love with ferrets. We fought for a year, bunnyferretbunnyferretbunnyferret, then I caved, [...]
Screw It, Let’s Just Run Jimmy Again |
| By: Allison Hantschel Wednesday June 16, 2010 4:57 am |
Jimmy Carter is 452 years old, but he still kicks more ass before breakfast than many of us do all day long. Given the antics of the presidents who followed him, particularly the most recent reign of Fratty McFartjoke, I have to say America might not have appreciated Jimmy adequately the first time around. Also, [...]
News is HAAAARD |
| By: Allison Hantschel Tuesday June 15, 2010 7:56 am |
God, Mom, I’m bored. There’s nothing to dooooooooooooo: Coverage of the BP oil spill has certainly reached marathon status, the kind of thing still likely to lead on the evening newscasts — so likely that the networks risk evoking “oh not that again” reactions from viewers. It’s an unhappy fact of TV news life: the [...]
A Meeting for the Ages |
| By: Allison Hantschel Tuesday June 15, 2010 5:43 am |
I used to say, during the election when Sarah Palin would inevitably be compared to Margaret Thatcher, that Thatcher would eat her for breakfast and then have McCain for a tasty midmorning snack. Looks like Maggie may have to polish up the carving knives: Sarah Palin, the once obscure governor from Alaska who is shaking [...]
The Sexual Left |
| By: Allison Hantschel Monday June 14, 2010 9:09 am |
Dennis Prager is fighting for the right to keep his penis. Or something: What do transgendered have to do with gays? How and why are they connected by activists, gay and straight, on the Left? Strictly speaking, gays have no more in common with transgendered people than straights do. To understand the answer is to [...]
Sarah Palin’s Not-So-Funbags |
| By: Allison Hantschel Saturday June 12, 2010 5:13 pm |
Silly bloggers, looking at Sarah’s boobs: PALIN: Well, first, Greta, you know why we love you? Because you’re not afraid to ask the questions. And I got to respect you for asking that question because I know that “boobgate” is all over the Internet right now because there are a lot of, I guess, bored, [...]
Boy, When You Take a Souvenir, You Don’t Screw Around |
| By: Allison Hantschel Saturday June 12, 2010 3:56 pm |
Hey guys. Sorry I’m late joining this particular party, but the Joe Lieberman/Mitt Romney Fanfic Meetup at the Barrington Motel 6 was a little more … how to put this … involved than anyone really thought it would be, and I couldn’t leave before the interactive panel on S&M themes in the 2012 election cycle.
