Show us something you can't explain.
The last time there was a political movement so concerned with image and flag and symbology, you know what it was? Can you guess? I'll give you one guess.
Here's a hint:
Make this person go away. She doesn't deserve to represent our country on the international stage. I am disgusted.
California is not subsequently consumed by the Fire of Hades. Surprise! Funny how the world doesn't end when things like this happen.
Meanwhile, the country continues to be embroiled in an immoral and
illegal war, the economy continues to creep toward complete meltdown,
and our president cravenly invokes "appeasement" for the purpose of
smearing a Democratic candidate while speaking in Israel. This
fucker still has half a year to destroy America, people. Don't
lose sight of that just because there's some good news from California.

By cynically twisting Obama's comments about small town voters in a way that confirms every right-wing demagogic caricature of her own Party, Hillary Clinton has adopted the frames, lies, stereotypes and destructive clichés long embraced by the likes of Lee Atwater and Karl Rove. She has clearly decided that the road to victory runs through scorched earth. The question is, if she succeeds, what kind of Party will she be left to lead? She's burning down the village to save it -- or to prove that she would make the best fire chief. But the village won't be saved; only one house will be left standing. A house with room for just two occupants: Hill and Bill.

Hillary Clinton's campaign is bad for her Party and bad for America. If she truly gave a damn about this country and about defeating McCain she would have dropped out by now.
From wire reports.

With all of the hubbub between Hillary and Obama, and with McCain the "presumptive Republican nominee", it's easy to forget that there's another dog in this race: Hitler with Cobras for Arms.
As expected, he has not withdrawn his candidacy; after a brief vacation to rest and "re-invigorate his essential life humours", Hw/CfA has reemerged as the sole candidate for the XXX Teens Genocide Party, a tactic conceived after, according to Dr. Julius Herfspongen, "an exhaustive search through the Interpages of your country's youth" which took "the larger part of a long weekend". A banner ad for the party, and Hw/CfA's candidacy, which has popped up in several thematically appropriate websites recently, can be viewed here.
Answering to charges that the new party merely panders to the prurient interests of lonely voters, predominantly male and overweight, who may not even realize or comprehend the dark implications of the XXX Teens Genocide Party's platform, Herfspongen said this: "Yes? Yes? I do not see your point, journalist! We are merely giving America what it needs and desires, which is 'Hot Fuckholes for Genetic Purity', trademark XXX Teens Genocide Party. That is all. We have a website, which you should visit. It is very enjoyable, unless you are a homosexual." Dr. Herfspongen then laughed and swatted the backside of a female model dressed as Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS. Actually, this reporter does not know if the woman was wearing a costume or her official party uniform.
"No one would argue that this war has not come at a high cost in lives and treasure..."

Treasure?
Oh, my god, people!
Bush thinks this is all a big game of Dungeons & Dragons!
Oklahome State Representative Sally Kern recorded at a meeting. This is what they say when they think nobody is listening:
(Found at Crooks and Liars.)
"Precision missiles," huh? So precision that they destroyed two residences, killed three women and three children, and wounded 20 other civilians, all in the quest to destroy a "known terrorrist target". Personally, I'd rather see soldiers drop in there and take care of the terrorist target their own damn selves. Yes: I would rather see our own troops put in harm's way than see civilians arbitrarily blown to pieces with "precision missiles". I guess I'm a traitor who hates America.
This is why we are hated and feared around the world.
How many terrorists were killed with this attack? How many more were created? Memo to the U.S.: people don't like having their homes blown up and their families killed. Am I wrong? Am I naive?
What makes a good President of the United States?
A good president must possess the following character traits: intelligence, courage, integrity, and compassion. That's it; it's not a complicated formula.
The current White House occupant possesses none of these traits.
Barack Obama possesses all of them.
Maybe you've seen this around town, on the back of an idiot's truck. This sticker is so fucked so many different ways, I can't even begin.
Well, here's my version:
As you can see, mine is far superior. As always, you can buy it here if you like. Now, I would never suggest that you buy one and maybe if you see one of the stupid ones in the parking lot of Target sometime, you COVER THEIR VERSION WITH MY VERSION and run off giggling and wondering how long it will take them to notice. I would never suggest that.
EDIT: HOLY CRAP! My bumper sticker just got removed by Zazzle for "violating the intellectual property rights of J.R.R. Tolkien". Sigh... Let me come up with an alternative here, and I'll get back to you. Funny, I just assumed that one character name from a book fucking decades old would be fair game.
EDIT: Here's a non-infringing version, which you may notice is way less funny:
Anyway, if you want to buy the less funny, but still pretty funny version, you will find it here. I'd like to just take a moment to throw a shout out to intellectual property lawyers the world over: you guys rule! If I'd made 50 cents on a bumper sticker featuring the name "Sauron", I'm sure the Tolkein Family fortune would have collapsed in a shambles.
