Must Have Been Stabbed or Strangled

Saw this headline at Memeorandum: 14-year-old student held without bail in slaying of Danvers High teacher The story doesn’t say how the teacher was killed, but the fact that MSNBC wasn’t running a gun-control telethon was a clue that she probably wasn’t shot to death.

News Flash: @DonLemonCNN Hates You

And by “you,” of course, I mean the 60 million extremist homophobic anti-choice teabagging racists who didn’t vote for Obama: CNN anchor Don Lemon shouted down a conservative guest after pushing him to admit he should be “embarrassed” over certain protesters at Sunday’s Million Vet March. . . . “Ben, you have to be embarrassed […]
