We are touched that you thought the phrase "poop on toast" originated with us, but, crude as we are, we weren't the first to offer up that scatological breakfast treat. On the other hand, I think it's fair to say we were the first to use "Butch PhD," though that term is of course derived from the insanely popular blog, "Bitch PhD." On the other other hand, we are right at the top of a search on "sex pervs for Hillary" because of a silly post we did featuring a picture of Hillary and Elton John. Sigh.

Make fun of his bizarre 4-hour gym visits last week. But it's pretty clear that his "57 States" quote was a joke, and mocking a joke makes a mockery of mocking.<BR/><BR/>Also, there's so much good McCain material to work with.

Roxie's World is strongly committed to mocking politicians. Pretty much everything else has been ruled out of bounds regarding Obama: It's racist to point out that his resume is thin, divisive to note that he's moved so far to the right that he and McCain are now pretty much New Coke and Old Coke, and criminally insane to suggest that progressives should vote for someone else or stay home. If his supporters can't bear gentle mockery of a publicly recorded gaffe, well, I feel sorry for them and fear for the future of humor in the republic.<BR/><BR/>Rest assured, dear readers, that Roxie's World will do everything in its limited power to guarantee that we all die laughing, regardless of party.Roxie Smith Lindemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455529922082930949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-80705565035401331672008-07-21T11:43:00.000-04:002008-07-21T11:43:00.000-04:00Well, the winner of the Idaho and Wyoming caucuses...Well, the winner of the Idaho and Wyoming caucuses hardly has any standing to complain that Democrats in Guam and Puerto Rico were permitted to participate in the primary, since he'll get exactly as many electoral college votes in the general election from those states as he will from those U.S. territories. Which is to say, ZERO, so what makes the votes of Guam and Puerto Rico so ridiculous?<BR/><BR/>Gee, I wonder how the news media would have covered Hillary Clinton suggesting that there were *too many* people voting in the primary?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-32411962775794043852008-07-21T11:13:00.000-04:002008-07-21T11:13:00.000-04:00You really should go see The Dark Knight. It is as...You really should go see The Dark Knight. It is as close to opera as you can get from pop entertainment, all the while being a thoroughly grim, complex, and nuanced literary adaptation. If for nothing else, you just need to see Heath Ledger's performance -- it's a little bit Jack Torrance, a little bit Frank Booth, and a whole lot of Alex DeLarge. It's an unhinged performance, demented and maniacal in all the right ways. The chasm between Heath's Ennis Del Mar and Joker is astonishing. <BR/><BR/>As for the 57 state quote, can everyone give it a rest? It doesn't really come through in Obama's voice, but it's clearly a joke -- just an underhanded reference to the ridiculous fact that this year, Guam, Puerto Rico, Democrats Abroad, and all sorts of other non-general-election-voting groups mattered in all sorts of weird ways. I'll accept that Obama is a pansy or a socialist, but I think he knows how many states there are.<BR/><BR/>EitanEitanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048819747086690385noreply@blogger.com
