Stupid Republican idea of the day

Maybe it’s a clever ploy to get him back in the country to face trial - like the Somali pirate who thought he was going to be a movie star.

Although that would require cooperation between the House GOP and the Obama administration, so forget I mentioned it.

I think that’s clever playing stupid, rather. They can throw federal employees into a system less like the “Obamacare” exchanges, and then rail against that situation.

Sheldon Adelson, the Vegas casino magnate who you may remember as the man who kept Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign financially viable for months past its sell-by date, figures that we need to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran.

But only in the desert, you see. So it’ll only hurt the scorpions and rattlesnakes.

Isn’t there an easier way to give them material for dirty bombs?

I rarely comment upon someone physical appearance, but Mr. Adelson looks like a James Bond villain who is afflicted with some horrible disease.

Carp. Now I’ll have to buy Girl Scout cookies.

Well, the coworkers will no doubt help consuming them.

You mean something like this?

He’s been living in Portland, Oregon, since the beginning of the year, after being caught by the Guatemalans and then extradited back to the States.

No idea if any of the girls came with him.

Well crap. I used to go out with a girl scout troop leader back in the day. I had no idea she was a lesbianist. She did have independent spirit out the wazoo though. Probably why she didn’t take any of my weak shit.

Yes. I should have come up with that myself.

I just don’t know where else to drop this. Buzzfeed is a humor site, right?

what is this I don’t even.

OK, I know I’m going to regret it but I have to ask : what Muslim Brotherhood stuff goes on in the White House, exactly ?

It’s not every day you see something which makes Grover Norquist look sympathetic. I guess the Gay Rights Mafia will be happy to hear that radical Islamists have their back, though.

ETA: Black people in charge.

Beards, man.

Beards within beards.

Surely that’s Gay Agenda stuff.

The Muslim Brotherhood and the Gay Agenda. Connect the dot, people!

Didn’t Mr. Obama create a new cabinet position for the Muslim Brotherhood?
I’m sure I read that somewhere on the Internet.
And… if it is on the Internet, you know it has to be true, right?

So, I had to go to Free Republic, because I am stupid.

They call him “Grover Norqueer” and tell him to loosen his burqa.

I shouldn’t laugh. I know I shouldn’t. But they are just so incredibly lame and predictable, it’s like you’re watching an old movie that you know all the dialog to by heart and then they say it and you collapse with laughter and…

Okay, that might just be me.

I think Poe’s Law has reached its apogee, at least for me. A right-wing idiot accuses a right-wing moron of supporting Islamic terrorism, presumably based on having a beard. :dubious: Is this a true story? Or did media aggregators like Google accidentally change the credibility rating of TheOnion.com? I don’t know … and I don’t care!

The Board’s mathematicians can refresh my memory, but didn’t Stephen Smale find a way to evert a sphere with only infinitesimal steps so that, like the frog in slowly heating water, viewers wouldn’t notice anything was happening? When will TheOnion be ranked with Reuters and BBC, and FoxNews take the place of news parody? I think we’re halfway there now: I watch Beck and Coulter only for laughs; Jon Stewart when I want to know what’s really happening.

Well, that and having a Muslim wife, so it’s not quite as out-of-thin-air as it sounds otherwise. But it’s still silly, stupid and xenophobic.
