…this is the real scandal: the nakedly transparent flouting of the tax laws by groups claiming to be nonpolitical and nonpartisan. Count on the media in Washington to entirely miss that obvious point.

This includes the liberal New York parody media, too. We had to turn off the TV the other night, M. got so pissed at Jon Stewart’s crazy-biased, flat-out-false coverage.

Kentucky boy, 5, accidentally shoots to death 2-year-old sister
A 2-year-old Kentucky girl was accidentally killed by her 5-year-old brother who fired a rifle he had been given as a gift, officials said Wednesday.
Cumberland County Coroner Gary L. White said an autopsy of Caroline Starks showed the toddler had died from a single shot from the .22-caliber rifle. The death has been ruled accidental and no charges will be filed, he said in a telephone interview with the Los Angeles Times.
The parents aren’t getting charged with child endangerment?? Neglect? Anything??
Sometimes you just gotta say it: fuck this country.
No wait.
Let me correct that.
Fuck the privileged, bullshittin’ minority (many of whom are in Congress) who have us by the short hairs.
The crazy thing is, Obama and Biden could now propose to Congress that we make a law that if you want to give your child a gun for Christmas he must be, oh, I dunno, at least twelve.
AND THEY WOULD SHOOT THAT DOWN TOO.
They’re certifiable!
We are a blue country, dammit. We’ve got to get out from under their thumb.

The White House, Tumbling Things
So cool. (The grammar is questionable, though. Says the old lady in the corner.)
We see some great things here at the White House every day, and sharing that stuff with you is one of the best parts of our jobs. That’s why we’re launching a Tumblr. We’ll post things like the best quotes from President Obama, or video of young scientists visiting the White House for the science fair, or photos of adorable moments with Bo. We’ve got some wonky charts, too. Because to us, those are actually kind of exciting.
But this is also about you. President Obama is committed to making this the most open and accessible administration in history, and our Tumblr is no exception.
We want to see what you have to share: Questions you have for the White House, stories of what a policy like immigration reform means to you, or ways we can improve our Tumbling. We’re new here, and we’re all ears.
So give us a follow, send a post our way using the submission tool, and stick around to see some things you won’t want to miss.
And yes, of course there will be GIFs.
You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and WhiteHouse.gov.

We’re keeping New Orleans, just FYI. It’ll be our little West Berlin.
Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out….
Totally fine with this. Considering that most of the nation’s wealth, education, population,and infrastructure are concentrated in the liberal contamination zone, I think we’ll get along fine.
This map is a bit dated though. The plague has spread to Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia and Florida, and we’re going to have to make sure those are closed off as well. (Full disclosure, I’d be fine giving up Florida, but the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is a breeding ground for intellectual wiccans and we lefties just can’t give that up.)
We will miss the traditional college football powerhouses, but considering we will be retaining 23 of the 32 NFL teams will certainly help us cope. Best of luck conservative America.
If you need us we’ll be spending most of our time at fabulous gay weddings and drinking liquor on Sundays.

Chavez, no matter how many times the corporate media and the cheerleaders of the status quo call him a dictator, was elected repeatedly with overwhelming majorities. No matter how many times this slur is moronically or mendaciously repeated, people know the truth. No less than Jimmy Carter certified Venezuela’s elections as amongst the most fair and transparent his organization has ever observed. And the voter turnouts that elected Chavez were usually far, far higher than those in the U.S. The voices that cheer and mock the death of Hugo Chavez are in fact mocking democracy and the people of Venezuela, who elected him and who have re-elected him time and time again — most recently by a decisive majority in October, 2012.
