Support gay marriage or the homos will marry your girlfriends

Sitting at home on a cold weekday afternoon while the plumber worked away in our master bathroom, I went bopping around the Inter-Webs looking for something fun—at Upworthy I found this video which they found at Mediate but which originally came from College Humor.  Click the pic to see an inspired argument for why it is in the self-interest of all straight young men that they support legalizing same-sex marriage!

“We’re doing you a huge solid by being more attracted to each other than to your girlfriends, but if you stay closed-minded about this we will take one for the team and marry the crap out of them.  So don’t make us marry your girlfriends; support gay marriage.”

The nice folks at Bic must be Republicans

You know, the kind of Republicans who have a certain view of the role of women in a modern society and strong feelings about appropriate ladylike behavior, and in the case of Bic, even about what pen a lady should use to write, whether it be to write down her shopping list or jot a nice thank you note to the neighbor who thoughtfully picked up the mail while her family attended vacation Bible camp. Ellen DeGeneres is very excited about this news—watch!

You’ll never see the debates the same way ever again

…after you have a look at this from Bad Lip Reading:

“Eye of the Sparrow” indeed–hilarious!

The president better Hope he can Change this!

The 47% fallout at Fox, as told by Jon Stewart

It has been great fun to watch the political circus play out around last week’s revelation of Mitt Romney’s campaign gaffe—or to put it another way, that chance for the rest of us to hear the truth Romney tells his supporters behind closed doors.  The good folks at The Daily Show even took a good-natured little poke at their friends at Fox News Channel for their contortionally-magnificent defense of the Republican Party nominee: “Let me sum up the message from Bullshit Mountain, if I may: this inartfully-stated dirty liberal smear is a truthful expression of Mitt Romney’s political philosophy and it is a winner.”  Click the pic for the whole beautiful report.

This is the core of Bullshit Mountain: the 49% entitlement society Obama enables.  That is the core of the Bullshit Nation fiction, that somehow only since Obama, the half of Americans who love this country and work hard and are good have had the fruits of their labor seized and handed over to the half of this nation that is lazy and dependent and the opposite of good—I’m sure there’s a better term for that.  Now, in that 49% [Sean] Hannity is including those on Social Security and Medicare, or as I like to call them, his audience.
