Some wacko, racist, cult people over in Idaho are building a fortress with a castle and stuff.

They say they aren’t “wackos, cultists or racists” so you can form your own opinion. I just know I have never personally met a wacko, culty, racist person who introduced themselves like, “Hi, I’m William the Racist and I’m in a wacko cult.” I don’t think this is one of those things you get to decide about yourself. Like being obnoxious. You don’t get to decide that either. The label is just thrust upon you by anyone who has to deal with you.

Don Dwyer got drunk and ran over four kids because gay marriage passed in Maryland.

Or something like that.

I’m telling you, all that bigotry and hate goes straight to your face. Clearly the easiest way to win at Spot The Bigot is to pick the ugliest person in the room.

Anti-gay pastor pulls out of Obama’s Inauguration.

This is some hot-ass-messery from all people involved. Yes, Obama, you too.

How hard is it to do a damn background check? I mean really. Get your life together, Obama Administration. Y’all really ain’t shit sometimes.

So, a couple of weeks ago, the Presidential Inauguration Committee picked Louie Giglio to give the benediction at the big show.

Let’s pause on three counts:

America is Number One again! Three cheers!

Well, twelve cheers actually. As NBC so kindly taught me today, of the world’s developed countries, America ranks #1 in the following:

infant mortality
criminal injury
homicide
teen pregancy
sexually transmitted diseases
AIDS
drug abuse
obesity
diabetes
heart disease
lung disease
disabilities

I’m not being unpatriotic or Anti-American or anything…I’m just saying all of this pride that we’re the best country in the world is kind of delusional.

Let’s look at some things America thinks they’re really good at.

Cringe-worthy Angry Black Man of the Day: Thomas Lopez-Pierre

My people. ::sigh::

There are two ways to win an argument.

1) Be right. If the other person is clearly in the wrong and you’re standing on the side of truth, eventually truth should win out.

2) Be better informed. If you’re wrong (or if no one is right) but the other person is clearly unprepared and ill-informed, you win by default because they have nothing to argue.

This is what you don’t do…write a letter to your opponent, CC’ing 30 other people, calling him a weak, little short man who sucks White/Jewish cock.

Look at this photo.

Way to go Northeast!

And the Southeast…as usual, you’re a huge stain on the cloth of humanity. You need to be Tide Pen’ed out of the American consciousness.

I don’t know why people live there.
Other than the food.
And really cute old ladies.

Rudy Giuliani thinks repairing the subways after Hurricane Sandy qualifies you to be mayor of NYC.

With the man he endorsed to succeed him, Michael R. Bloomberg, about to leave office, Mr. Giuliani is determined to play an outsize role in the race to replace him, quietly putting his political muscle and bulging Rolodex behind a former top City Hall deputy who is seriously considering a mayoral run.

Over the last few weeks, Mr. Giuliani and a coterie of former aides have coalesced around the deputy, Joseph J. Lhota, a Bronx-born Republican, with a single-mindedness that borders on fervor, encouraging him to leap into the campaign and talking up his prospects to business and political leaders, at times well beyond the borders of New York. In Ohio, a few days before the presidential election, Mr. Giuliani was overheard extolling Mr. Lhota’s mayoral qualifications backstage at a rally for Mitt Romney.

Up until a few weeks ago, Joe Lhota was the guy who ran the MTA. Then he stepped down to focus on running for mayor. The guy who runs the MTA thinks he has a shot at being elected mayor.

I love when Republicans get desperate.

Woman arrested in connection with upstate NY firefighter shooting.

A week and a half after the Sandy Hook shooting, 62-year-old William Spengler used the same type of assault rifle to murder two unsuspecting firemen responding to a blaze he intentionally set. It was an ambush, and afterward, Spengler killed himself.

I’m still confused as to why any gun that looks like this is available for sale to civilians:

What is this for if not to massacre people? Why was Spengler, a felon convicted of murdering his grandmother, able to get his hands on it?

His neighbor bought it for him. Because our gun control regulations are a complete joke.
