...YOU SHALL FEEL THE POWER AND THE WRATH OF TEA BAG NATION!!!

Ha! I can only imagine the alternate universe where you're blaming McCain for everything that's happening while everyone is yelling back that it was Bush's fault. God loves a moron, Kojak.

I prefer mine from Redmond via Sweden.

This is postmodern America. Aren't we supposed to respect everyone's beliefs?

Doesn't look like the right-wing nutjob genie's going back in the bottle without a fight. Thanks for everything, Ronnie!

Do you want him to fail?

Recession over. High fives all 'round!

What ever you do, don't take psychedelics and watch this: [video:youtube]

The parents not so much...

[video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgqqSHr0wVA Are we just about done here? Yeah, I think we are. Can someone cue up the Michael Steele/Cow Getting Run Over by the Train video? I never get tired of that these days.

Not to mention the colorful and vibrant fringe organizations that are likely to emerge on the far Right as a result of this schism. Good times America!

Watching the two wingnut factions of the GOP duke it out over the "soul of the party" during the next couple of elections should be fun! I especially like the part where the econowackos wash their hands of the financial disaster they created and blame all the party's problems on the religious kooks instead of their bankrupt economic and foreign policies.

At least we might have gotten a piano player out of the deal...

No, it's entirely appropriate and quite instructive that the suffering and destruction caused by these people and those like them is driven by the basest, most pathetic motivations possible. These "captains of industry", the "best and the brightest" that are driving the planet off a cliff (whether they're doing it legally or not) are simply infants playing in each others dirty diapers or strung-out adolescents. It's a simple truism but it is an obscenity and makes the suffering they're creating actually seem worse. No wonder we need to create myths of shadowy, omnicient conspiracies to understand the exercise of power. The reality is far more depressing. Cue the "human nature", "it's always been this way", biodeterminist horseshit whenever... Clearly, sex and drug-use amongst consenting adults are only permissible when undertaken to promote social justice. If you'd like to argue that the "culture of permissiveness" and risk engendered at these firms would be as powerful and destructive as it's been if these "titans of finance" were getting comped Disney World tickets instead of banging whores in the mop closet and rails off their keyboards you're welcome to it. I don't think it's going to hold much water though. At any rate, I don't give a shit. What's far more interesting is that these instances show what a sham we've been fed by your "invisible hand": that given free rein from onerous regulation and operating according to the dictates of the free market, the best and the brightest acting in accordance with their own selfish needs and desires would lead to a outcome that would benefit all. What a joke. The corporate media has been cheer-leading for these fratboys for decades; here they're revealed as nothing more than 21st century Caligulas spending our retirement money on call-girls and coke. If this were a chimp colony, they'd be torn limb from limb.

Hey man, as long as you got yours right?
