Best Response To The Whole Sen. Kennedy Thing Yet

From Pareene:

The gross entitlement is the absolute worst part of her bizarre and mismanaged campaign. Of course her competition for the title is a similarly dynastic Cuomo, but he has at least been elected to something, publicly. We understand and are sympathetic to the arguments against career political hacks, but encouraging the Senate to resemble the House of Lords even more is just about the worst impulse possible.

But once again, look at the rest of the shortlist. There's Long Island asshole congressman Steve Israel, whose primary qualifications for the job are his ability to steer a great deal of pork to Long Island and his burning hatred for Jimmy Carter and Palestine. And Kristen Gillibrand, a Blue Dog anti-gun control pro-Bush tax cuts Democrat from a Conservative district. And anti-abortion Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi. And Brian Higgins, who is from Buffalo. And Caroline Kennedy, the lofty, high-minded rich lady who thinks being appointed a Senator is like performing an act of charity for the nation, or maybe like being on America's co-op board. Also she's beginning to remind us of the woman in the atrocious Lexus ad whose new car is an even better present than her childhood pony.

Honestly the seat should just go to Fran Drescher.

WALNUTS! Wins Kentucky

And the black guy gets Vermont, a state full of elitist sodomists.

McCain: 8 electorals

Radar Slams MacFarlane And Family Guy

The show may have it's moments, but it's always been a weak rip-off:

Pity the poor executives at Fox. Imagine their unbearable dilemma when one of their highest rated cash cows—that would be Family Guy—snuffed out America's beloved Simpsons. That's what happened in a recent episode, when Quagmire, Family Guy's motormouthed sleazeball, got caught in a sexual tryst with Marge and then proceeded to shoot the whole Simpson family off camera.

"I think they pushed it too far," Simpsons creator Matt Groening said. "If our characters are going to be killed, we'll do it ourselves." Perhaps Groening spoke too soon. Even though the suits at Fox decided not to air the spiteful scene, their recent $100 million dollar deal with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane may give Groening some indication of where future loyalties lie.

...Maybe Family Guy's erstwhile fans are just aping the sneers of other cartoon scene titans. South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone have been taking swings at MacFarlane's work for years. "When people say to me, 'God, you guys have one of the best shows on television. You and Family Guy.' That fucking hurts so bad," lamented Stone back in 2005. "It's such a kick in the balls" agreed co-creator Trey Parker. They would argue that Family Guy hasn't gotten any worse; it's always been dreadful.

...This sophomoric glee for saying something naughty about Republicans is, after all, the entire gimmick behind MacFarlane's American Dad! As the New Yorker put it, watching a siege on American morality just "makes us restless now; the comedy is too broad. (The exclamation point in the title virtually announces that.)" Indeed, MacFarlane's tedious, second-rate send up for American establishment values has become more stale and didactic than subversive. Brian might as well be door-knocking for Kucinich.

...If MacFarlane and his scribes had kept their trashy humor as pure as their political posturing this might all be easier to swallow. But they didn't. Both American Dad! and Family Guy try to straddle the line between outlandish farty humor and subversive social commentary. Over the years the uneasy balance has caused Team MacFarlane to wobble and flop. His raunchy prime time rivals, Matt Stone and Trey Parker of South Park, describe this flailing balancing act as just "getting too up your ass preachy."

...You used to able to flip on Family Guy and witness the worm's eye view of things; racism, raunch, and flatulence that needed to be aired out every once and again. Watching Family Guy was like witnessing a harmless rebellion against righteousness. Now it's merely a showcase for MacFarlane's cultural finger wagging and lethargy.

He Made It!!!!

No thanks to Cotton McCain, Sen. Unicorn and his muscular buttocks made it safe and sound to that shithole east of us the Middle East to start his International HOPE™ Tour.

He visited with the troops (while silently hating them and flipping them the bird behind their backs) and even met some generals or something:

On Saturday, the senator from Illinois traveled to eastern Afghanistan to visit Americans forces under NATO's Regional Command East. Obama is accompanied by Sen. Charles Hagel, R-Nebraska, and Sen. Jack Reed, D-Rhode Island.

The senators met service members at Jalalabad airfield in Nangarhar province.

The governor of Nangarhar province, Gul Agha Shirzai -- formerly the governor of Kandahar province -- also met the senators at the air base. Shirzai and Obama embraced briefly at the end of the meeting.

After this, Barack will head to Europe where he will feel much more comfortable drinking bitter white wines with various elitist communist leaders.

Your brickbat has been slave working for an esoteric concept called "money". It is an elitist concept invented by Barack Obama and his Mooslim Christ-punching friends.

Lots of stuff has happened, but we will pretend that it didn't and will start anew tomorrow.
