let’s give ’em back their furshlugginer zero!

LET’S GIVE BACK THE ZERO! To hell with base-10 mathematics—it is part of the Muslim Agenda to bring down the Chris­tian world! No more pussy­footing with ANY thing from ANY Mus­lims! These and sim­ilar thoughts trumped my usual commie pinko fag bleeding heart li­brull ra­ti­o­ci­nating and lib­er­ated me!

And it was all due to the head­line from a piece in to­day’s Think Progress newsletter: “High School Teacher’s Lesson In Arabic Cal­lig­raphy Prompts Clo­sure Of En­tire School Dis­trict.”  [Read more] “let’s give ’em back their furshlugginer zero!”

the son of the grandson of cognitive dissonance

THE FUR­SH­LUG­GINER HEAD­LINE SCREAMS in huge 30-point type: “Met­al­worker De­bunks One of the Big The­o­ries Held by 9/11 Truthers.” The ar­ticle was written by David Ed­wards for Raw Story but I re­ceived it in my morn­ing’s email newsletter from Al­ternet. It in­cludes a sub-title: “The idea that jet fuel can’t melt steel beams’ is bullsh*t, he demon­strates.” [Read more] “the son of the grandson of cognitive dissonance”

waterloo, watergate, whitewatergate, and just plain old gate

What if I brought an­other, more re­cent gate into the conversation—like Beng­hazi­gate? [Read more] “waterloo, watergate, whitewatergate, and just plain old gate”

another fishing expedition without a bite

TAKE ANY IN­VES­TIGA­TIVE JOUR­NALIST of the most modest of means, say someone from your local paper where the term ‘in­ves­tiga­tive jour­nalist’ is prob­ably used only in ref­er­ence to The Times of The Post (or as a joke). Give that jour­nalist a mi­nus­cule budget—I dunno, say a paltry thou­sand dollars—and four weeks to in­ves­ti­gate me, and he would turn up ev­i­dence that would cause the fol­lowing five (min­i­mally) events to transpire:
