You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

It just disturbs me that they love to parade around with images of the burning towers as a propaganda piece, but they hate the people that died in and around them so much.

They haven't used these images as much lately. Maybe they figure the Real Americans moved to Nebraska over the past 7 years.

The occultists are "weaving lazy 8's around McCain's mind to make him look confused and like an idiot". Bree K. said we need to break these curses off of him that are being sent from Kenya.

Kenya? Please. We really don't need to import our occultists—there's plenty here in the un-real America.

“Not dead yet!”

You could be from New Orleans. No one liked us, even when we had a tragedy.

That's cuz y'all invited it with all that Sodom and Gomorrah, voodoo, drinking and jazz stuff.

(Also black humor, in case it's not completely clear.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

God, it's true. You did it to yourselves! At least we had swarthy arabs to blame.

I know. We were too busy whoring and drinking and having some gay people in the city.

One of the bad things about living in Houston after Katrina was the amount of bile directed at refugees in the city. It did not do good things for my faith in humanity.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

So far, that's horrible disasters in two cities almost exactly two years after I leave. DC might want to watch out in the summer of 2012.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From kos: Signs of Desperation

Ben Smith:

Drudge and National Review's Campaign Spot -- with a measure of conscious self-parody -- link the Nickelodeon Kids poll, which has Obama up only two points.

It's an online poll. Of kids.

"The Nickelodeon Kids' Poll is one of those polls that is always interesting to keep an eye on," writes NR's Geraghty.

Kinda.

Talk about "forum shopping". NRO's Geraghty even approvingly posts a reader's email that claims that:

the Obama people should be very concerned with this.

"This" being, again, an online kids poll at Nickelodeon.

Yes, I'm sure Obama HQ is FREAKING THE FUCK OUT over this online poll...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Black humor brought on Katrina? Crap, buffistas are dooooomed.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yeah, but we're safe until two years after Hil leaves.

“Not dead yet!”

So Hil's not allowed to leave.

Ever.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

They haven't used these images as much lately.

Last used by McCain at the open of the RNC.
