Morning Awful
Glenn Beck’s interview with Massa went beyond fail to that rarefied realm known as “fiasco.”
11-D Chess Online

Blame The Geeks
Blame it on the math geniuses with the fancy computers. You know those fancy computer models! I mean, Al Gore and his climate “scientists” use computer models too, and that should tell you how awful they are. That’s my summation … Continue reading
A League Of Their Own
If you haven’t heard, Dan “Moose” Lewis is planning to start a segregated basketball league. Comments at the white supremacist website Stormfront are universally in favor, but repellent rednecks may be in for disappointment: this is probably just an incredibly … Continue reading

Glenn Beck vs the Arts: Fiasco
There is fail, there is epic fail, and there is a rarefied realm of sublimely perfect fiasco. Glenn Beck has that essential problem of topping himself all the time; after a boiled plastic frog, what’s next? Thus the perfect ingredients … Continue reading
Michael Steele’s Website Fiasco
There is fail, there is epic fail, and then there is the rarefied realm of fiasco. The Republican Party wanted a fancy new website, with a virtual Michael Steele moving Matrix-like across the screen. The problem, is there’s no good … Continue reading
Glenn Beck Fiasco
There are fails, and then there is the rarefied realm of fiasco. No, Glenn. There are TWO letters missing…C? Adding: Media Matters has a great article up tying Beck’s insanity to Alex Jones.
