Back-up plan?
(I kid. I know they all do it.)
I bet you’re all jealous of my new magnet.
Currently on the front page of RickSantorum.com:
“Conservatives UNITE Moneybomb”
or, you know, CUM.
Seriously? Is this stuff on purpose? Is Rick Santorum secretly working with Ashton Kutcher on a special episode of “Punk’d”? Does he have secret gay staffers who are giggling and trying to undo him from within?
Said to a mostly white Iowa audience. Interestingly, white welfare recipients outnumber black recipients slightly nationwide…and nine-to-one in Iowa. Which makes you wonder: Why’s Rick bothering to single out African Americans on the dole? Hm.
“You want to add another candidate? It’s like the Republican primary is a season of American Idol in reverse, where every week you just add some other idiot.”
Jon Stewart killed it.

As the nation gears up for the 2012 presidential election, Republican officials have launched an unprecedented, centrally coordinated campaign to suppress the elements of the Democratic vote that elected Barack Obama in 2008. Just as Dixiecrats once used poll taxes and literacy tests to bar black Southerners from voting, a new crop of GOP governors and state legislators has passed a series of seemingly disconnected measures that could prevent millions of students, minorities, immigrants, ex-convicts and the elderly from casting ballots.
Our favorite (only?) Elizabeth Warren .gif is back! That’s because the badass Harvard professor and former Obama adviser, who proposed a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau before anyone else even thought we needed one, just launched an exploratory committee to challenge Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) in 2012.
Brown’s strategy so far has been to label Warren an out-of-touch Harvard elite from Oklahoma. We’re pretty sure that’s the first time anyone has ever used that stereotype.
Yes, please. I will vote twice if I can.
