A trend in Wisconsin is far right tea party conservatives eschewing the traditional (patriotic?) red and stars for a green that suggests they are somehow progressive or, even more laughable, a friend of the environment. (Ron Johnson suggests that sun spots cause global warming.)
And here are the worst his and hers costumes for Halloween 2010. If you find yourself wearing either of these (”one-eyed monster” / Twix bar), congratulations, you are a terrible human being. At least subtle racism, misguided politics, and outright bigotry prove that you care, at least a little, about the holiday. Unlike the below two people of whom one has to ask, “Why even bother?”
Below are two recent screen-grabs from Rob Port’s Say Anything Blog, a cheerleader for tea party activism. Looks about what one would expect so many in that movement are really about.
Of course, that’s not a question driven by racism at all. He’s just askin’, you know?!
Rob Port of North Dakota is fat. Yes, Rob Port, editor of the Say Anything blog. That Rob Port. Yes, he is really fat. Unsightly fat and obese. I mean, Rob Port is “he told his listeners they needed to cut pork spending and they started in his refrigerator” fat. Rob Port is “he posted a story about the Dubai port controversy and his readers thought they meant he was switching to Middle Eastern food” fat. Rob Port is “his parents Carol Port and Rollie Port worry about him dropping dead of heart disease” fat. Rob Port is “how does he even have sex with his wife Jessica” fat. Rob Port. Fat.
Nike’s new ad campaign is themed “boom!” As expected, it’s slicker than a non-stick fry pan, chock full of all the best personalities money can buy. Even the hilarious Hot Tub Time Machine and The Office comedian Craig Robinson is in one version. One problem, Robinson grew up in Chicago, went to college at Illinois State, got his masters at Chicago Saint Xavier U. and got his start at that city’s legendary Second City troupe. So here’s his Nike commercial featuring him cheering for the Yankees’ Robinson Cano.
Congratulations Craig, becoming a Yankees fan means you’ve really made it. Just ask one of the team’s other bandwangon jumping sellouts.
