Wingnut Watch
Weapons of Yellow Fuzziness
The wingnuts have got themselves in a tizzy about some old chemical shells that were found in Iraq back in 2004. These were just degraded shells which the DOD itself says were from Saddam’s pre-1991 armament. Yet the magic of wingnuttery has suddenly transformed these relics into the long-lost Weapons of Mass Destruction. Maha correctly [...]
Flocking Behavior
The highly coordinated movements of flocks of birds or schools of fish are among the most fascinating phenomena to be found in nature. The group seems to turn and maneuver as a single unit, changing direction almost instantaneously… …Research by Wayne Potts, published in the journal Nature in 1984, helped explain how flock movements are [...]
A gathering storm of gayness is going to sweep over the land and make birds fly into windows
The Senate voted yesterday to kill the anti-gay marriage amendment, which was a welcome but unsurprising bit of news. There was never any chance of this amendment passing; the whole point of the exercise was just to remind the batshit crazy fundies that only Republicans are willing to protect us from the evil homo cooties [...]
Another Ward Churchill
Here’s another radical college professor spewing bilge into the minds of our young people. Writing on the left-wing crypto-communist History News Network, James C.

I fucking love The Editors
I’m going to have every word of this post tattooed on my body. Then I’m going to figure out where Andrew lives and go have sex with him.

Puncturing the Propaganda Balloon
Propaganda is amazing stuff. Done right, you can convince people of almost anything. You can persuade them that reality is the exact opposite of what they see in front of their eyes. Black is white, war is peace, death is life and day is night. The key is consistency and repetition. As Goebbels said, if [...]
Een vleugelnoot!
Did you know that Europe has wingnuts too? They do! In Dutch a wingnut is “een vleugelnoot” (actually I think that means something completely different, but stay with me, people). And the exciting thing is that their heads are just as far up their asses as those of American wingnuts! This comforts me in a [...]
More proof that American conservatives have no souls…
…and tiny little homunculi of Rush Limbaugh where their brains should be.
We’re All Danishes Now
Via Jesus’ General comes word that The Stupidest Woman In the World is urging people to support Denmark by purchasing Watco Danish Furniture Oil. Which, it turns out, is owned by Rust-Oleum and made in Wisconsin.
