"May I submit that you can't seriously hope to be the leader of the free world if you can't even get your crap together to get your name on the ballot? No one should take you seriously in Iowa if we know you're not even going to be on the ballot in Virginia."
-- BooMan, adding his two cents over the epic failure on the part of Newt and Perry to secure a position on Virginia primary ballot. He also notes that Huntsman, Santorum and Bachmann never even submitted any signatures.

Perry Watch - Spectacular Spiral Edition
Oct 7th, 2011
Has it really only been two months? Kevin Drum takes stock:
"Just to recap, in less than two months Rick Perry has:
1. Suggested that maybe Ben Bernanke should be lynched.
2. Declined to back off his contention that Social Security is an unconstitutional Ponzi scheme.
3. Called climate change a "contrived phony mess" that was cooked up by scientists who have "manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling in to their projects."
4. Pissed off the conservative base by defending his decision to (in Michele Bachmann's immortal words) give "government injections" to "innocent little 12-year-old girls." Said Perry condescendingly: "What I don't get is what parents don't understand about an opt out."
5. Further pissed off the conservative base by suggesting that if you disagree with his policy on in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, "I don't think you have a heart."
6. Mangled a prepackaged debate attack on Mitt Romney so badly, and then followed up with a statement on Pakistan so inscrutable, that even his supporters started to wonder if he has a three-digit IQ.
7. Proposed that US troops should be used to fight Mexican drug lords. In Mexico.
8. Had to defend himself against revelations that his family leases a hunting spot called "Niggerhead."
I'm putting this up because you can't truly grasp the full scope of Perry's train wreck campaign unless you see the whole list in one place. It's really pretty stupendous. Has any top-tier presidential candidate in history ever imploded quite this quickly?"
Not in my recollection.

What Happens When I Engage The "Right"
March 31st, 2011
This is what happens when you attempt to have a rational dialogue with one of Andy's writers about wage deflation and corporate tax code manipulation. To be fair, Kurt isn't a bad writer and he did serve our country honorably. He just lives in what I call an "angry bubble." Yes, I do have earrings. Film at 11.

FOX News Math

Some great FOX News fails from Funny Or Die. These 2 really do matter, though.
Worth revisiting. Outside of FOX, we've never seen an OVER 100% sampling make it to broadcast before.
Even better, this sampling seems to represent a 193% total. Good times.

Most Epic MLK Commercialization Fail Ever
Jan 18th, 2011
Before Monday's commemoration of his birth, I was convinced that the most serious threat to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the omission of his progressive contributions. I was wrong. As Colbert pointed out two nights ago, the commercial potential of MLK Day was far more diabolical. His examples were both perplexing and sad but they were nothing compared to this one.
