My Thanksgiving Letter to Pamela Geller’s BFF in the Alaska Legislature: Rename the Turkey the “Winged Marmot”

By: EdwardTeller Thursday November 24, 2011 7:15 pm

There are many alternative names you might consider. In honor of Sen. Linda Menard’s hallmark legislation from the 2009 session, you might consider the new name “Winged Marmot”

Other suggestions already put forward by Patriotic Americans have been “Freedom Fowl” and ‘Pilgrim Pullet.”

Late Night: Terrorism Proves the Terrorists Are Right

By: Allison Hantschel Monday July 25, 2011 8:00 pm

Nothing says intelligent and well-read like indicting a continent for not burning adherents of a religion at the stake when they “take root,” or as the rest of us say, “move someplace and have the audacity to not covert to exactly what their neighbors practice.” The Inquisition worked out GREAT. Why isn’t everybody doing that?

Sunday Late Night: “Deplane, deplane!”

Peter King Needs to Be Object Lesson in Our Failed Counter-Terrorism Approach

It is downright inappropriate to have an unapologetic terrorist sympathizer head our Committee on Homeland Security. So long as King maintains his terrorist support was justifiable but that of brown people is somehow different, he stands as a symbol of US hypocrisy on terrorism.

Lee Baca, Only Law Enforcement Witness at King’s Muslim Radicalization Hearings, Speaks Out

By: David Dayen Wednesday March 9, 2011 8:30 am

I saw Lee Baca speak last night at the “People’s Hearing on Defending Religious Freedom,” an event put on by the Southern California chapter of the ACLU. Baca will head to DC today for the hearings. Baca said that the only way to focus on the problem of extremist violence is to look at the statistics. “Since 9/11, 77 extremist efforts or attacks have been carried out by non-Muslim extremists in the United States,” said Baca. In addition, of the last 10 terror plots attempted by Muslims, seven of them have been thwarted by Muslims coming forward. “This is not a Muslim problem, it’s a people problem.”

Rick Scott, Florida’s New Republican Candidate for Governor, Rides Islamophobia to Nomination

By: Blue Texan Wednesday August 25, 2010 10:30 am

This is pretty much where the GOP is right now. How much fact-free hate mongering and demagoguery can they fit into a 30-second spot? Let’s count the lies.
