I know, I know, there’s plenty of Con dumbfuckery to bash. But let’s face facts: we already know they’re a bunch of remarkable dumbfucks who shouldn’t be trusted with pointy scissors, much less public office. And besides, Mary Landrieu’s probably headed for their ranks just as soon as she forgets that the Teabagging masses don’t …

Dumbfuckery du Jour
Boy, that didn’t take long. Two minutes of scanning headlines, and I come across this remarkable distopian example of the kind of lives we’d lead if Cons could have their way: As ThinkProgress has noted, there are currently two competing visions of governance in the United States. One, the conservative vision, believes in the on-your-own …

Dumbfuckery du Jour
I wish Cons would settle on a century. Some of them seem to want to return us to the glory days of the Middle Ages. Some yearn for the days of the robber barons and child labor. Some seem to be pining for the halcyon days of the Puritans, or burning for Revolutionary War times. …

It proved difficult to choose a bit of dumbfuckery today. There’s just so damned much of it. Sen. Jim “Witless” DeMint takes top prize for shitting all over the Senate: Stan Collender speculated over the weekend that Senate Republicans may very well try to shut down the pre-adjournment legislative schedule, and possibly even try to …

Millionaire businessman John Raese, running as the GOP Senate nominee to fill Robert Byrd’s West Virginia seat, wants to take the state back to the 19th century. Not only does he want to return capitalism to the era before child labor laws, Social Security, …

Oh, yes. At last. The Smack-o-Matic’s coming off the wall, baby, yeah. And what better way to begin than with a classic bit of dumbfuckery, proving the Senate has always contained politicians who have some difficulty confronting Really Serious Issues and are terrified of change: June 25, 1930Senate Considers Banning Dial Phones Senator Carter Glass …

The reasons for a special Friday Dumbfuckery are two. Firstly, I’ll be abandoning all you all for Oregon, which means no fresh pollyticks till Wednesday at the earliest. Secondly, and most importantly, both of the following items made me pound my desk with mirth. So I figured you should enjoy yourselves as well. Firstly, please …

The Priorities of PG&E. When asking for a $5 million rate hike in 2007: PG&E asked the PUC for permission for a $5 million rate hike to “replace a section of the same pipeline that blew up in San Bruno.” The PUC approved PG&E’s request, allowing it to hike its rates so that it could …

Primary Day is a very dangerous day. In Delaware, the Teabagging hoardes overthrew the sometimes-sane Mike Castle in favor of a candidate who believes there’s just as much evidence supporting Young Earth Creationism as there is evolution, says condoms can’t stop AIDS, thinks coed dorms will lead to “orgy rooms”, and wouldn’t have lied to …

Dumbfuckery du Jour
It’s weird. Cons are getting their arses kicked in primary after primary by batshit fucking insane freaks, and yet they seem to have this overconfidence problem. They’re utterly positive they’re going to win big in November. So positive, it seems, that they have no qualms showing their true colors. They’re throwing something of an orgy. …
