Shirley, You Can’t Be Serious

  • Owe $1.63 in taxes? Lose your home. Seriously, when are we going to apply some controls to the IRS?
  • David Weigel brings some perspective to the Ellison quote. I mentioned the Zimmerman Telegram; he mentions the Maine and the Gulf of Tonkin. It’s amazing how often I hear from liberals “learn some history, man!” only to find out that they know nothing about history. Seriously, libs, stop talking out of your ass.
  • The Mayor of London wants to spend $4 million celebrating a murderous monster. Seriously, what is wrong with Leftists?
  • Tom Tancredo was the only GOP candidate willing to address the NAACP and got massive applause for it. Seriously, do the Republicans expect to win elections when they write off the black vote every single year. Could you guys at least try to tap into the conservative tendencies of many blacks? Just try, that’s all I’m asking. Dickheads.
  • Due to our last panic about terrorism, an innocent man may be executed. One of the bizarre side effects of our stampede from British Common Law adherence to its spirit of the law toward Napoleonic blind obedience to the letter of the law is that it’s perfectly find to execute an innocent man — so long as the forms were filled out right. On the ther hand, one procedural error would have been enough to give even the guiltiest man off. Seriously, this is law and order?
