I Got Nothing

Sometimes you see an item and instantly think, “Wow, I gotta blog that, because this will be hilarious.” And so it was when I saw a weird bit of news from HuffPo, but then . . . blank.

Zilch. Zero. Nada. And I think the problem is that, once you’d read the item, there really isn’t anything you can add to it that would make it any funnier than it already is — that is to say, if you’re the kind of person who thinks it’s funny when a guy has to go to the hospital because he got a dildo wedged up inside his bunghole, then live-Tweets the process of having it extracted.

Did I mention there’s an X-ray?

UPDATE: OK, while I was caught jokeless, Ace of Spades was running a whole riff on Mister Bunghole’s Very Bad Day.

 

So, These Two Republican Senators Walk Into An Elevator. . . #StandWithRand

I should probably take a moment to define “choadtzpah”:

Noun: whereas traditional chutzpah has a broad, general meaning of “gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible ‘guts,’ presumption plus arrogance such as no other word and no other language can do justice to,” let’s narrow choadtzpah to capture the exquisitely “dick move” of rejecting transformational brilliance in the name of preserving a dying status quo.

For example, going out to dinner with the kind of President who is nothing if not a Constitutional wrecking ball, while a sincere, younger member of your party is laying it down, full-tilt boogie, on the Senate floor, defending that same Constitution “like a BOSS,” and then coming in the next day, trashing the brash young member of the party in some fit of geriatric pique.

Don’t know what rationale McCain and Graham have for their stunt, but I hope the blowback is instructive, and I hope that South Carolina rises up next spring and reveals Graham’s re-election war chest to be filled with so much potpourri. There needs to be some fear of the voters put into these Ruling Class Overlords, of both parties, insofar as the Progressive clowns on either side of the ‘aisle’ can be pried apart with less than a crowbar.

Rule 5 and Immigration Policy

Years ago, I propounded Rule 5 — “Everybody Loves a Pretty Girl” — as one of the secrets of blogging success. And I have also stipulated that, despite my somewhere-to-the-right-of-Tom-Tancredo stance against illegal immigration, I’m firmly opposed to a crackdown on beauty queens who have overstayed their visas: Bring me your tired, your poor, your Miss Universe contestants yearning to breathe free.

So . . . some people don’t seem to appreciate the humor in that.

“Tough room,” as they say.

It’s Internet Crazy Day: Special Ironic Menendez ‘Healthy Youth’ Edition

OK, I spent most of this morning exchanging e-mails with various suffering victims of the Butt-Hurt Epidemic that is laying waste to the online world today. If anybody has personal contact info for Bono, I think there should be a special all-star TV concert.

It’s For the Children™ — won’t someone think of the children?

The good news: I heard from the kid with the bad haircut and I think he’s going to be all right, having survived the sarcasm hate crime.

The bad news: Internet Hall Monitor Kurt Eichenwald unfortunately suffered a sudden and mysterious spasm of self-righteousness, and may be on his way to the kind of laughingstock status that typically involves becoming the subject of a Downfall parody.

Meanwhile — back in the world of politics, which is what this blog is allegedly all about — there is urgent news from Capitol Hill:

The Real Education for Healthy Youth Act would expand comprehensive sex education programs in schools, while ensuring that federal funds are spent on “effective, age-appropriate and medically accurate” programs. . . .
Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) and Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) are co-sponsoring the bill, as well as 35 House members.

This stunning news has made headlines:

Show Me on the Doll Where I Touched You.
Slowly. Make it Hot: Bob Menendez Sponsoring
Comprehensive Sex Education Bill

Expert further updates on the escalating madness. Did I mention that somebody filed a peace order against Bill Schmalfeldt?
