While the whole "meme" thing is beyond me, I must admit this struck a chord with me for some unknown reason.

Forgotten

With all the fake uproar over the deficit and birthers and all that, it's easy to forget that there are a few wars on.

As everybody (except our feckless press) knew would happen, our latest adventure in killing brown peopleliberation is ramping up toward the seemingly inevitable long-term ground war.

Iraq continues to be a complete cluster fuck that nobody wants to talk about.

And the original forgotten war, rages on.

You'll note all those links go to The Guardian in the UK. That's obviously because the US press is moronic, inane, and vacuous.

Thankfully, there are exceptions. Believe it or not, McSweeney's has been running a great series on Afghanistan written by a US service member serving there. It paints a mostly bleak picture, but is an amazing read. Check it out: In These Deserts.

Objectively Terrible

Since Randian supermen are everywhere these days, "producing" all sorts of great things, like this piece of shit, and this bag of vomit, I figured it'd be a good time to put up some of my favorite Ayn Rand take downs.

They start way back in 1957. Note: that's the National Fucking Review, where the current front page features this idiot and this doughy pantload. Today's conservatives sure have come a long way.

Then there's this delightfully uncivil one.

And two of my favorites, an older one and a great fresh new one, both reminding us just what total and utter hucksters Alan Greenspan and his favorite fascist were.

So, if you have any glibertarian douchebags in your families, like I do, be sure to pass these links along. They're sure to liven up your next family gathering!

Where's the birth certificate?

The birthers are back! While I'm not a real fan of our "compromise at any cost" weak-ass president, he's marginally better than the other options, and the birther thing is just fucking stupid!

So, as an answer to all those birther fuckwits (yes, I'm talking about you, Trump) especially those with the "Where's the birth certificate" bumper stickers, I created some convenient business cards you can print and do with as you see fit.

There are civil and uncivil versions, and also letter-sized sheets of each for convenient printing.

Will it do any good? Of course not, but WTF.

I Love Oregon, take 2

While I don't think a perfectly-evenly-divided legislature is overall a good thing, it is undeniably better than a Republican-led one, and this is pretty goddamn funny.

Retro

For no discernible reason, I really want one of these (the top one). Ah, memories.
