Loading Up On Gimmicks: The Only Way To Be Heard

By shortsshortsshorts, 26 January, 2010, 2 Comments

People will go to great lengths to be heard in these here United States. Tea Party people had their tea bags, Ron Paul had a blimp, and now there is an exciting new gimmick: “let’s just throw everything we can find at the gubermint.” These things include a gigantic pink pig “to symbolize a legislative pay raise” and ear phones “for the I-pods” “so they will listen.”

The coordinator of Taxpayers and Ratepayers United, Inc. brought his inflatable pink pig to the Central Dauphin School Board meeting Monday night to get the board’s attention about his concerns on the district outsourcing transportation.

The Answer is “No.”

Oh Look — it’s Michele Bachmann, and she’s gravitated towards a new objective. She’s going to be President.

Sarah Palin is the most visible with a new book riding the top of the bestseller list and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is gaining ground as one of the drivers of the “tea party movement.”

Many of you may wonder why we are so obsessed with the Christian Broadcasting Network, and the answer we provide is “duh, people. We must embrace it. They are always correct about everything.”

Pat Robertson’s Most Loyal Follower Has a Message For Haiti: “Screw You”

By shortsshortsshorts, 14 January, 2010, 2 Comments

There is a place out there where cretins go to rant. It is a place that makes your Shorts&Pants look like it ISN’T PATRIOTIC ENOUGH. That’s right. We thought we were Earth’s Most Patriotic Gun Blog, but we have finally found our competition. These people. Let’s begin with a little racism.

Oldest self-governed Negro republic is completely dependent on US handouts even without earthquakes.

SPOT ON. Not only is that horrible, it is terribly fucking misleading. BUT WHATEVER. GO ON, Conservative Patriot:

Flash forward to 1915. The “Jewel of the Caribbean” is now a desolate cesspool, that is exporting almost no sugar. The United States decides to “take up the white man’s burden” and send the US Marine Corps to rebuild Haiti’s infrastructure and feed it’s starving population.

So why is Haiti the “white man’s burden?” Maybe we should get a more accurate idea of what really happened:

Joe Lieberman: ‘I am the Victim— So Screw You, America’

By shortsshortsshorts, 16 December, 2009, 4 Comments

Does anybody know what to do with this wart? Doctors have done their very best to alleviate it— but the wart remains. Your ShortsandPants thinks warts are simply disgusting and un-American.

In the above-video, the wart explains his supposed “schism” with the Democratic party, his “maverickiness” as being an “independent,” and the possibility of running as a Republican. While your Editor has spent many good days in Connecticut, this negates every one of those. For every hour Lieberman remains Senator, Connecticut shall receive 5 lashings. FIVE, we tell you. If our Muslim President doesn’t make this happen, it will only get worse. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, America.

“Concerned Women For America” Experiments With Existential Literature In Anti-Health Care Reform Tyrade

By shortsshortsshorts, 9 December, 2009, 4 Comments

Let’s have a chat about “completeness.” What exactly makes somebody “complete?” Is “completeness” part of a greater “is?” Is the “is” actually an “is not?” ARE WE BEING DECEIVED? Concerned Women For America would like to address these questions. And if you haven’t experienced an existential crisis yet in this post, Concerned Womenz For America would like to point you in the direction of “completeness.”

When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated . . . the complete lives system justifies preference to younger people . . . Additionally, the complete lives system assumes that, although life-years are equally valuable to all, justice requires the fair distribution of them.

That’s from Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel— Obama’s Special Advisor for Health Policy. Seems pretty straight forward, right? WRONG. The Concerned Ladies would like you to understand the truth of it all:

Senator Schmiegel From Okahoma Likes the Gays None-Too-Much

By shortsshortsshorts, 18 November, 2009, 3 Comments

Do you see the man to the left? Do you see the resemblance to a certain character from The Lord of the Rings? Well, that is because he is quite SIMILAR to Schmiegel, in both appearance and moral fiber. We do not know how he broke out of Middle Earth, but his existence is now known. How did we miss that he would choose Oklahoma to undermine us all?

His name is Steve Russell, and he is a State Senator from the place where the wind comes sweeping down the plain. His favorite love is allegedly bigotry. He loves him some of that yummy bigot-sandwich. To manifest this attitude, he chooses to despise the gays. Senator Schmiegel HATES the gays.

Lying Liars Who Love to Lie (Newt Gingrich, et al.)

By Random, 18 November, 2009, 2 Comments

It is commonplace in our Nation to appoint “Judges” to various Courts. In fact, for the last 225 years this process has gone relatively unabated. BUT THINGS CAN CHANGE!

For some reason the GOP loves to bitch and whine— that’s why your Editor got an e-mail from “Tom Phillips” about the appointment of David Hamilton. If you believe what the e-mail says, you will secede from the Union. Luckily, it is full of lies.

Here is the e-mail, UNEDITED, as it is both terribly formatted and just generally insane:

Sarah Palin Complains (again)

By shortsshortsshorts, 17 November, 2009, 4 Comments

Who to blame? WHO. TO. BLAME? Sarah thinks it’s Newsweek’s fault now, as they are sexist.

It absolutely has nothing to do with the cover story for this week’s edition:

“How Do You Solve A Problem Like Sarah? She’s bad news for the GOP – and for everybody else too.”

Anyway— sexism! Leave Sarah alone!!

Sarah Palin: Humans Evolved from (Christian) Monkeys

By Dana, 16 November, 2009, 6 Comments

Sarah Palin would like America to cut the bullshit with the whole Evolution vs. Creationism debate already, because she’s got this thing figured out.  So to you 97% of Americans who believe that the Christian God Jesus Hussein Christ personally hand-crafted all of your human bits from love and magic and blind hate–you’re mostly right.

We’ll just throw this one out there and let you decide what to make of it:

SUSPECTED CRIMINAL TO RECEIVE DUE-PROCESS OF LAW!11!!

By shortsshortsshorts, 13 November, 2009, 2 Comments

Picture 15
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Ya— unless you’re a TERRORIST— or maybe a terrorist. Either way— SOCIALISM.

MIKE HUCKABEE TO SAVE US ALL

By shortsshortsshorts, 9 November, 2009, 5 Comments

Nevermind the whore next to this post. This is the moment every American has waited for. You Euros who read the site (Analytics says it’s about half of you bastards) have no opinion over this stage of events. You do not understand the impact of Mike Huckabee, because he is very serious. But not only is he serious about being serious— he’s really fucking serious. We are very lucky in our altruistic agrarian Nation to have such a lad as Mike Huckabee running all over the fucking place gnashing his teeth and gritting at useless opportunities that only bring the apocalypse to the rest of us useless bastards. So he should probably run for President again— because of… Politico?

Grumpy Old Politician Refuses to Assert His Opinion— is Somehow Still Politician

By shortsshortsshorts, 5 November, 2009, 2 Comments

Politicians love to make their voices heard— everywhere. They are whores, obviously. But what many of us are unaware of remains the fact that REFUSING to give an opinion, as Senator James Inhofe has recently decided to do in the ridiculously named “Environment and Public Works Committee” hearings, you would see why Oklahoma people love him oh so much!

Basically the guy showed up, sat down in a chair with a little notepad, and made satirical drawings of Arlen Specter for a few hours. THEN, when he was called out and asked his opinion, he said “NO NO NO, I AM TAKING MY FOOTBALL AND GOING HOME.” This will be met with praise by Conservative media outlets everywhere, for no good reason at all, but still:

Taser of Wisdom: “GOP ENNUI” EDITION

 Cartoon-GOP-Blowback                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 (Well, it’s Wednesday, so – like clockwork – Sparky Satori must be grumpy about… something.)

Your humble scribe has repeatedly kicked the GOP in the shins over the past few months. Not just because it’s fun to finally kick ‘em when they’re down, but to check for any kind of reflexive knee-jerk reaction. And why not? Knee-jerk reactionary rhetoric was once their stock in trade, but lately seems to have lost all its potency and flavor. Now it’s a matter of checking for a pulse.

The nation might need health care desperately, but the GOP needs it even more. Not that long ago, the GOP was a disciplined party, crafting and cleaving to a central talking-point message with a ruthless, goose-stepping efficiency. Now, the cadaver that was once the GOP is being fed upon by opportunistic vultures, leaving many – yours truly included – to wonder WTF is going on inside the hive-mind that once fancied itself the only recourse for rational self-interested voters.

The current picture ain’t pretty, and grows more grotesque by the day. What would happen if they threw a war party and nobody came? What hope is there for the future of the nation if the last bastion protecting us from Commie-Nazi-Socialist-Islamofascist hordes withers into impotence incurable by even all of Bob Dole’s little blue pills? And with all this talk of a “public option,” what option will the public have as we slide further toward a one-party state?

What indeed?

Bloody Narcissism

Do you love Rick Santorum? DO YOU JUST LOVE RICK SANTORUM? Does your family love him? Do your pets beg for his nourishment? Are you in awe of him on a daily basis? Do you have an idol of him on your mantle? Do you whole-fully regret that he was defeated so badly— the worst defeat of an incumbent since 1980? ARE YOU CRYING KNOWING THAT?

Rick Santorum is in love with himself. He is Googling himself everyday, and there are many results! He is the most popular person on the Internet, according to Rick Santorum.

Taser of Wisdom: “Mad Men” Edition

 Righteous Weeper Makes TIME                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Wow, another night of Emmy glory for a stylized retro TV series that feels like an endless movie, reveling in existential angst and meticulous attention to cultural and jet-set scenery details. Why, it is almost as though USAmerica has some taste, and the cojones to celebrate it.

The obvious disconnect – between the way things were and now are – is part of the show’s appeal. Smoking was omnipresent, drinking almost mandatory, material acquisitiveness the central drive – stoked by advertising – even while the characters who pursue that American Dream are revealed as empty and unfulfilled. The women are in bondage, and not just the girdles and corsets used to render them voluptuous. The men are all the same color, look alike, dress alike, and act alike, save for the one guy who sports a beard and doesn’t balk at hanging out with Negroes.

What is it about this show that draws so few viewers, yet sets the bar so high for achievement that it is annually judged the best TV drama? Is it a history lesson? A cautionary tale? A Biblical parable? A Shakespearean tragedy? A chance to review our collective past through a prism both overly rosy and foreboding?

And, most important: what does it tell us about Glenn Beck?

All In the Family

oh jesus hell What usually happens when you put a group of carnivorous freaks in the same room results in a sort of “mini-Nationalism,” or as we like to call it— filthy fascism. There is no place for it in our country, and yet still we allow it. It’s a bit like the town hall mess that was forced upon us last month, but this time— it’s on the radio.

What happens when Michele Bachmann and Janet Porter go on the radio together? Well, as Right Wing Watch shows us all— it’s a nightmare.

Bachmann Friday

We removed the video, which is still available at the link below.

Your ShortsandPants watched the entirety of the above-exchange and typed out the below summary as it was happening.

WoooWOOOo oOOOO!11 Bachmann speaks! She lies, all the time, forever— but that is not the issue here. It’s time for another one of those “Michele Bachmann asserts her views on political gain” posts.
