Another Holiday - South Park Spoiler Alert















I'm still reeling after South Park revealed to me the inside poop on easter and Bill Donahue. I was doing ok until Stan's dad revealed his membership in the Hare Club for Men. Then I finish watching the pseudo-Tivoed episode and, lurking in the background on my very TV was Bill Donahue claiming that the very episode I had just finished -- the episode in which Jesus killed Bill Donahue with an asian throwing star because he claimed to be the Pope -- was anti-Jesus. No, it was anti-Bill Donahue. And very good at it too.

This year's holiday seems to be more off than usual because the next thing I do is trip over this --->

Something about the bunnies I think.

Food Update: Celebrity Cooks I Loathe


I am terribly sorry but I have been lax not bringing this to you in a timely manner. Mr. Sun gives us a Post I Wish I Had Written entitled The case for offing Rachael Ray described by Mr. Sun as "the hoof-mouthed culinary she-devil from Hades -- the sous-Satan from Hell's Kitchen." Personally I believe he was too kind.

If you read his piece the thing that seems to have driven him over the top is her shilling for Triscuit cracker recipes. Seems as how he was able to put cheese on a cracker without her help. Personally I cut her a little slack because the race for the remote whenever I spot her visage on the TV gives me a little exercise. Beyond that she is a booth babe, plain and simple, and nothing more. Well maybe a little more. She seems to be finding an audience.

Wanker of the, Well Month at Least

(h/t to Atrios for the title reference)

I'll just quote the piece in The Hill. It's too stupid for words. The photo over there is just to remind you how really really short he is.

Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), the Democratic Caucus chairman, has told new Democratic members of Congress to steer clear of Stephen Colbert, or at least his satirical Comedy Central program, “The Colbert Report.”

“He said don’t do it … it’s a risk and it’s probably safer not to do it,” said Rep. Steve Cohen. But the freshman lawmaker from Tennessee taped a segment that last week was featured in the 32nd installment of the “Better Know a District” series. Colbert asked Cohen whether he was a black woman. He isn’t.

Eyes (but thankfully, not heads) roll in Emanuel’s office when other freshmen stumble, such as the time Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) got into a debate about the merits of throwing kittens into a wood-chipper, or when Rep. Zack Space (D-Ohio) explained that he is not his predecessor, convicted felon Bob Ney (R).


Part of me wants to blame this idiocy on his DLC inclination, but really it's just because he's a short douchebag with no sense of humor.

A Little Knitting

Even though this blog was supposed to combine all of my others, I still haven't managed to add the knitting/spinning/fiber stuff. I know those are specialized interests, but that isn't enough of a reason. I really didn't get it until I saw this. It isn't some trashy craft project from somebody in Dubuque.

It is from Jean-Paul Gautier's Fall-Winter 2007 collection via Style.com. Perhaps it keeps one safer in these dangerous times. Or it represents an effort at fusion fashion, combining a hat from the 1940s with a chador.

More Wingnuts For Your Entertainment

I don't think this is becoming the blog of YouTube Wingnuts, but with film this good, how can I resist.

Interviews from CPAC (Conservative Political Action Committee) Max Blumenthal writing at The Nation. I have a particular fondness for watching Ms. Malkin go all apeshit after she realizes that putting out an errata sheet on her book means that she admitted she made mistakes.

It's A Busy Day For Drag



Yes, what you can see now is the top of The Donald's head. You must click. And be patient.

How The Mighty Have Fallen

It really is David Hasselhoff.

Thanks to the great Manolo.

I Can't Decide Which Is The Worst



Faye Dunaway or Celine Dion.

Think, think, think ... nope. It's a tie.

Git Yer Kulchur Right Here

More Americana. I couldn't let you live in ignorance.

This item is described as

"Melon Scented Underwear Thong, Pink with Yellow Band. Melon scented underwear utilizes a new technology that weaves the same material from a drier sheet into the underwear fabric, creating a powder fresh scent that lasts for up to fifteen washes."


So for you women, and especially you men, who have been secretly longing for a coochie scented of melon, here's your chance. And. They are on sale at drugstore.com

An Educational Post

Apparently one of my faithful readers, Miss Kimmah, has never seen the aforementioned decorative testicles hanging behind a vehicle. She clearly lives in a better neighborhood than I do. So in the interest of greater clarity, I give you Truck with Testicles.

Just so you know, they come in a smaller size for motorcycle users and in a wide range of colors including chrome, camouflage, "flesh," and black. Here they are in a lovely shade of blue which I suspect is supposed to make a statement, but perhaps I give the users too much credit.

Yes, yes, you're welcome. We try to keep our readers fully informed.
