HE’S THE PRESIDENT, IT’S HIS JOB!!!! “A month and a half after the spill began, 69 percent in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll rate the federal response negatively. That compares with a 62 negative rating for the response to Katrina two weeks after the August 2005 hurricane.” Why hasn’t Barack Obama appeared in front [...]

Things to Do While Waiting For Everyone’s Favorite Long-Haired Hippie To Rise From The Grave, Like A Badass
Posted in Art, Media, Movies, Stuff, tagged culture, get off the couch, the arts, things to do in NYC on 04/01/2010 | Leave a Comment »
We’ve been remiss in our artistic endeavors and recommendations here at CTJ – mostly due to the inevitable boredom and withdrawal that accompanies winter, coupled with pesky little things like work and writing and just, stuff. (We have lives, okay?!?) But considering the lovely 70 degree weather that’s creeping up on us this HOLIEST of [...]

SHOCKERS: Disgraced human John Edwards, after months of changing poopy diapers, finally admitted today that he would not have been changing said poopy diapers, if they weren’t the poopy diapers of his little daughter. Awwww: “I am Quinn’s father. I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she [...]
Rod Blagojevich Blacker Than Barack Obama, Circles ‘Negro’ On His Census
Posted in Media, Politicking, tagged fun interviews, not black people, people who look like Lego, people who want to be black people, Rod Blagojevich on 01/11/2010 | 2 Comments »
IT’S TRUE! Read what everyone’s favorite disgraced idiot said to Esquire, about how he, like Steve Martin in “The Jerk“, ‘was born a poor black child’: “It’s such a cynical business, and most of the people in the business are full of shit and phonies, but I was real, man—and am real. This guy, he [...]
Washington Post Hack Richard Cohen Accuses Barack Obama Of Not Bombing Iran
Posted in Media, Racisms, The End of the World, Wingnuts, tagged death, fucking idiots, journalisismsm, Richard Cohen, Washington Post on 09/30/2009 | Leave a Comment »
Richard Cohen, who somehow is paid to write words (by a once-credible newspaper, no less), wants to know why President Barack Obama has yet to transform into the Angel of Death, for America. It’s a fair question. The crux of Cohen’s general ‘argument’ is this: why isn’t the president a different human being from the [...]

I mean, I knew racists were creative (see: racism), but having a man in an Obama mask beating an old man and a fetus takes the cake. Jesus H. the fucking crazies in this fucking country. [via Slog]

According to a study published in the journal BMC Public Health, children as young as 10- and 11-years-old already have notions about the ideal body. An analysis of more than 4,000 students revealed that young girls’ happiness with their body image is directly linked to how thin they are, while boys were happiest when they [...]

White House Admits Working With Drug Companies To Restrain Their Costs
Posted in Health, Lawmaking, Media, Politicking, tagged drugs companies, health care reform, laws, lobbyists, Obama Administration, politics on 08/06/2009 | 1 Comment »
Following pressure by industry lobbyists, White House officials on Wednesday explicitly affirmed the Obama administration still stood by its behind-the-scenes deal with drug makers to block any Congressional effort to extract cost savings from them beyond an already agreed-upon $80 billion. An odd and possibly embarrassing assurance to make, considering just this week the House [...]

Maybe it’s the schizophrenic rain storms, or the steamy, sticky July experience so singular to NYC, but I think everyone should follow Doc Bottom’s suggestions, and pick up a can of Aspray, the all-over body spray that can be used to eliminate the beastly odors emanating from your stinky butt cracks and your sweaty balls.

The Government Will Soon Regulate Our Snacking and Nap Times, Because Democrats Are a Bunch of Communist Pansies

Why do Democrats Hate Our Freedoms? • Lawmakers are trying to curb TeeVee commercials for prescription drugs aimed at curing people of preposterous maladies like deficient eyelashes, restless leg syndrome, and male urinary urgency, that may cause obscene side effects like four-hour erections. (Because honestly, wouldn’t a four-hour erection cause urinary urgency and restless leg [...]
On Abortion

So, in light of this George Tiller murder, I’ve been listening to and thinking over abortion debates the last day or so. And it doesn’t matter how I turn it in my head, I can’t make sense of the lunacy of the extreme pro-lifers. I mean, there’s morons out there saying that Tiller got exactly [...]
What’s Amazon’s Problem, Exactly?!?

A while back I posted on the horrid rape simulation game that Amazon.com was selling… which they finally managed to ban. Now, in an effort to reaffirm their standing on my shit list, they’re selling another game involving (or rather, promoting) violence against women. “Stockholm: An Exploration of True Love” is a game that allows [...]
The Thing About Torture
Posted in Lawmaking, Media, Politicking, Terrorisms, Uncategorized, tagged justice, narratives, politics, specious morality, writing all of this was torture on 04/23/2009 | Leave a Comment »
Something strange has happened in the hubbub over this thing, this torture thing, and I’m fairly certain you’ve noticed it as well. A few years back, arguments raged as to whether the United States uses torture to extract information from enemy combatants. This was a big deal. Remember? The Bush administration was steadfast in denying [...]

Although we don’t read Esquire too often here at CTJ (despite enjoying its covers), this month’s issue has an article by Tom Chiarella titled “What Is a Man?” that we just could not resist mocking highlighting. Some lovely, sparkly gems: “A man carries cash.” [Cuz he's too broke for a checking account.] “A man makes [...]
Rush Limbaugh Hopes To Fight The President Today, After School

Rush Limbaugh is an unkempt, drug-addicted boar who sweats profusely and tells angry white men who drive flatbed trucks that all of their problems can be attributed to illegal immigrants and Big Government interference. He gets paid $400M to do this. Every Republican “leader” who has recently criticized his reign as Hippo King of the [...]
News Alert! Monkey On The Loose! Bright Blue Scrotum! (Fox News Has Basically Stopped Trying) [UPDATE! Video Doctored, John Gibson Did Not Say Bright Blue Scrotum. Fox Still Employs Retards]
Posted in Media, TeeVee, tagged Fox News on 02/19/2009 | 9 Comments »
Firstly, this clip is GRAND because the dumbbell broad they have breaking this *important* news story doesn’t seem to know if monkeys are dangerous. Hmm? Then, they go to their black lady news anchor, who some producer decided was the monkey expert, obviously. All the while the first idiot just likes saying scrotum a lot. [...]
Our Leading Television Perineum Should Be Made To Know They’re Just That

Glenn Greenwald, over at Salon.com comments on how our country, our MSM, and especially Fox News, have made it unacceptable for people, the middle class specifically, to be angry at the political and financial systems of this country. It’s a salient point. We should be furious, and should include the clownish personalities over at Fox [...]

I guess the NY Post’s curious chimp cartoon wasn’t enough today. A photo of right-wing cuntbag blogger Michelle Malkin posing with a True American Hero holding a swastika placard has surfaced. Yawn. How boring are these bloody ‘people’? Just say you hate niggers, jews, and spics and get it over with already. [Crooks and Liars]
