Head, desk. The inability of Tea Partarians to spell words correctly on their crazysigns is legendary. But we now have what might be “The Mother of All Misspelled Tea Party Signs”: [Photo credit: GoodDream | Imgur/Reddit] Michigan contiguous with Missouri, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas? No, of course they meant Mississippi. A state whose two-letter abbreviation is MS. Phew! I’m so […]

There should be an IQ test for getting a gun permit Ted Nugent’s wife Shemane Nugent was arrested yesterday when security agents found a gun in her luggage at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Why did she have a gun in her carry-on luggage? Because she forgot she was carrying it. Just putting this question out there: If you’re too goddam […]

Stay classy, Cleveland

Not much to say about Cleveland Indians fans chanting “Detroit’s bankrupt!” during their game with the Detroit Tigers last night other than it was in incredibly poor taste and truly disrespectful to the hundreds of thousands of Detroit residents who have to deal with this catastrophe.

Class it up a bit, eh, Cleveland?

Video after the jump.

Heartless is as heartless does If you were a lawmaker and were given the chance to reduce the number of uninsured Michiganders by nearly half and save the state nearly a billion dollars over the next ten years, what would you do? If you were a Michigan Senate Republican, you would reject it. That’s what Michigan Senate Republicans did yesterday […]

Sometimes it’s hard to be proud to be an American

I saw this sign today about an hour and a half northeast of Houston, Texas.

Yes, it says “USA UNDER SEIGE BY FOREIGN LEADER — OBAMA”.

And yes, “siege” is spelled wrong.

See it in all its hideous glory after the jump.

Please. Stop. You make the rest of us look like the idiot you are.

I’m getting pretty used to Michigan being the laughing stock of the country. Between tea party whacko and Troy mayor Janice Daniels and some of the most absurd tea party Republican legislators you will find in the USA, we really have a big lead in the “Who has the biggest idiots” race.

But Walt Wawra of Kalamazoo has taken it to “11”.

Sorry, pathetic, embarrassing details after the jump.

Stay classy, professor A top economic adviser for Mitt Romney, a Harvard professor named Greg Mankiw posted a “joke” on his blog yesterday that really makes you question the guy’s judgement. Here’s a screen shot: Click for a larger version Budget CutsNext Month, the Immigration Department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and […]

Right, dude. Whatever. Last May, I posted a piece titled “Don’t let ANYONE EVER tell you racism isn’t alive and well in the USA” that showed a bumpersticker and t-shirt saying “Don’t renig in 2012”. The t-shirt actually showed the Obama campaign logo on it making it clear what it was about. From my post: That bumpersticker says “Don’t RENIG […]

Deport the democrats! Congressman Allen West doesn’t like anyone who disagrees with him and his politics. He doesn’t even want them in the country. This past weekend, he said that President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz should “get the hell out of the United States of […]

I couldn’t believe this was true when I read it at Angry Black Lady Chronicles. Sadly, it is. As in other lines of work, lunchtime discussions among lawmakers at the State House often spur ideas. Sometimes those ideas become bills. And sometimes those bills seemed less strange over lunch. House Bill 1580 is the product of such a brainstorming session […]

No, seriously. Barack Obama is such a freak for taxing your ass off that he has imposed a Christmas tree tax this year. Those danged Democrats! Those guys will tax anything. Executive Director of the Michigan Christmas Tree Association Marsha Gray says most Christmas Tree operations are small farmers. “When we have so many different individual farmers it’s difficult for […]
