So there we were, watching a nice PSA on how not to judge or bully our fellow high school kids (or maybe it was Terminator: 90210), and BAM! Sigh. Remember, folks. We borrowed money from China to pay the people who put this together, edited it, and cleared it for the airwaves. Maybe next time […]

Without further ado, let’s trace out the rest of the badassiest bracket! Sweet Sixteen The (16) Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils over the (5) Wichita State Shockers The Shockers had a great run, but dirty-minded chutzpah can only take you so far.  You can’t out-dirty-mind the devil, after all.

The badass wheat is starting to be separated from the lame-ass chaff – but who will be the badassiest of them all? South Region The (16) Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils over the (8) Iowa State Cyclones A fire manipulating Cajun Imp is pretty badass, but one of the most destructive and unpredictable forces of […]

On this Christmas Day I come bearing the gift of Cuteness!  If this little video doesn’t help put you in the Holiday Spirit, I just don’t know what can. And just for fun for the nerdier amongst my readership, here’s a theoretical astrophysicist with the scientific background of Lillian’s story. Merry Christmas and a wondrous […]

My family and I love Halloween.  Every year we get bigger and better decorations for the house, and I’ve discovered that trick-or-treating is even more fun as an adult passing out candy or going around with a toddler than it ever was when I was a little Freddy Krueger or Orko. Last night was the […]

The Wisconsin Legislature is preparing for disaster!  I wonder if they could rent out Dick Cheney’s old Secret Bunker… The [Wisconsin] Legislature is getting ready to pass a bill that allows lawmakers to designate secret successors.  The bill would allow each legislator to name three to seven successors. They would come into play if an […]

As a former sailor, I have to appreciate this line from Instapundit: Drunken sailors generally spend cash that they’ve already earned themselves, rather than running up debt to be paid by others. If our politicians started spending like drunken sailors, it would in fact represent a dramatic improvement. I can only imagine the damage we […]

This E-mail thread is too damn funny not to share.  The short version is that the law firm in question had just won a years-old case defending the Washington Redskins against a claim of “disparagement.”  A partner sent out an E-mail applauding the firm’s win, and a junior junior junior associate decided to offer a […]

I don’t know.  But if it does, sign me up. During his captivity, US marines forced Saddam, who was executed in 2006, to repeatedly watch the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut, which shows him as gay, as well as the boyfriend of Satan. Sweet.

Oh, perfidious North Carolina, rolling like a ruthless steamroller over all who stand in your way!  Who could have known you’d be so unstoppable after losing in your own conference tournament!?!  I was all set to crow about the brilliance of my Badassiest Mascot method, and you had to go and ruin it!  You, a […]

Via Instapundit, this chart is just downright scary.  And it shows how you can tell a multi-billion dollar lie by hiding it in the literal truth. Barack Obama said again tonight that he intends to half the deficit by the end of his first term, and this chart makes clear that this is the literal […]

It’s time once again for my favorite sporting event of the year, the NCAA Basketball Tournament.  And my favorite part of that (besides all the drinking and gambling) is making my picks based on the badassity of the mascots. An explanation and history of this tradition can be found preceding last year’s badass picks here.  […]

A friend of mine sent me this: These communist dictator Obama posters creep me out generally, but this one just made me smile.  Part of it was that Optimus Prime was such a hero to me as a kid, but there was something else about it.  I couldn’t quite put my finger on it until […]

A few months back I posted this video of hippies crying over a dead tree.  In this video too hilarious not to share, a tree responds:

Maybe it’s just because I just finished reading the original, but this spoof on Homer’s Odyssey from Iowahawk (via Big Hollywood) is one of the funniest things I’ve read in a long time. But Obamacles was only momentarily dissuaded from his task, for he knew the people of Demos longed to return to the White […]
