Bedbugs and Ballyhoo

Bush had LYME DISEASE ‽ ‽ ‽ ‽

The terrifying thing is that the Ruling Elite felt that the proles had no business knowing about potentially incapacitating illnesses, but when one of these Republican assholes gets their other asshole probed, we have to hear ALL about it.
Next time he gets a colonoscopy, I say we skip the anesthetic and go in with a roto-rooter.

Meanwhile, the Republican Presidential American Idol competition is stuck trying to out-macho each other, all of them trying to prove which one is the meanest, ugliest, most manliest MF that will starve, deport, jail, and kill more brown folks than the others. Ideally while riding a horse, ripping out their shirts with their broad, broad shoulders and smelling like Old Spice. As Molly Ivins once said during a Texas Guv race, "We got us a Fry-Off"

  4. What is it with the whole "Pulling Mussels" thing? I never understood whether that was supposed to be some kind of innuendo. It sounds dirty. . . .
