Dan Savage says DCCC fundraising emails flooding his sex advice inbox

May 11, 2017 by

Is anyone else out there starting to become nostalgic for the good old days when the big campaign issues on the table were Big Bird, bayonets and binders full of women? As Twitchy reported today, the Wendy Davis gubernatorial campaign has now introduced dildos into the political discourse for 2014.

As long as we’re going there, it might be time to check on “Savage Love” sex advice columnist and no friend of Republicans Dan Savage. It turns out those increasingly creepy and desperate fundraising mails from the Democrats are getting on his followers’ nerves too.

Inventor of AK-47 dies; Piers Morgan does his thing

April 16, 2017 by

http://twitter.com/#!/CalebHowe/status/415229848315891712
Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the AK-47, has died at the age of 94.

Piers “Musket” Morgan quickly, and predictably, sprang into action:

Kristen Johnston slams RadarOnline for posting Robin Williams AA photo

October 30, 2016 by

http://twitter.com/#!/kjothesmartass/status/499244442017361920
Actress Kristen Johnston has been very open about her struggles with substance abuse. So when she learned about this tweet from gossip rag RadarOnline:

Radar Online Robin Williams tweet

(Note: Image blocked out by Twitchy)

She was rightfully disgusted:
http://twitter.com/#!/kjothesmartass/status/499245169578110976
http://twitter.com/#!/kjothesmartass/status/499273892943659010
From Johnston’s full post, via TwitLonger:

We’re used to being the butt of your jokes. We’re used to the media breathlessly using our addictions to make money.

However, when outlets like @Radar_Online, print photos of a celebrity ( and others) at an AA meeting trying to get well, they have crossed the line and have blood on their hands.

…

Addicts are NOT amusing. Addicts are NOT salacious. Addicts are NOT your entertainment.

Be sure to read the whole thing. Johnston’s moral outrage is well-founded. And she is most definitely not alone in being thoroughly repulsed:

Buzzfeed’s newest ‘publishing partner’ is a hard-core 9/11 Truther

October 18, 2016 by

http://twitter.com/#!/JeromeTaylor/status/473256012787351553
Interesting, indeed.

The link goes to a video in which a narrator argues (unconvincingly) that United Airlines Flight 175 didn’t smash into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

“This is one of many, many faked videos put out by the news media,” the narrator claims. “Everything about 9/11 is faked.”

Sort of like a Buzzfeed story.

Marcotte: US is ‘shameful’ because St. Louis single moms are buying guns

August 8, 2016 by

http://twitter.com/#!/AmandaMarcotte/status/499564300189462528
It’s a day ending in “-day,” so Twitchy’s favorite super-feminist is outraged.

This time she is furious at the eeeevil single moms and other St. Louis residents who are buying guns in the aftermath of the Ferguson, Mo., riots:

Sales have quadrupled at ‘Metro Shooting’ in Bridgeton according to owner Steven King. He says sales have mainly been to men, but not all:

“Probably a dozen or two dozen guns to females, single mothers. We’ve sold to black people, white people. We’ve sold to asians who have businesses on West Florissant.” said King. “They’re just afraid of whats going on and they’re coming in to purchase either additional firearms or their first firearm.”

King says he’s personally seen the fear in their eyes and feels the sorrow in their hearts. King says he’s not raised prices but he knows that some are raiding their savings accounts, feeling that having a gun is that important.

To recap: Single mothers, black people, Asian businessmen, and white people are buying guns to protect themselves from dangerous rioters and looters. To make matters worse, the gun retailers who are selling to these consumers are earning profits.

The shock! The horror! The SHAAAAME!

Russell Johnson, probably best known for playing “The Professor” on the classic “Gilligan’s Island,” passed away this morning. He was 89.

His “Island” costar Dawn Wells expressed her grief over the loss of her friend:

Alec Baldwin sells out Martin Bashir, then becomes his biggest cheerleader

July 11, 2016 by

http://twitter.com/#!/ABFalecbaldwin/status/408493920192974848
If you’ve been following the continuing saga of Alec Baldwin’s epic implosion, you’ll remember he was suspended by MSNBC after calling a photographer a “ccksucking fag.” Or maybe a “ccksucking fathead,” according to his expert acoustic analysts.

Once Baldwin’s show was canceled, he ripped MSNBC for firing him and keeping Martin Bashir, the now ex-MSNBC host who suggested someone should crap in Sarah Palin’s mouth.

Baldwin eventually changed his tune: He seemed to have pity for Bashir and praised his “aggressive content.” But too late, Alec! Bashir is out at MSNBC, so own it, dude. Or, you know, pretend your initial reaction never happened and tweet more support for the scat porn fetishist:

http://twitter.com/#!/ABFalecbaldwin/status/408498717231042560
Apparently Alec doesn’t have a very long memory about his betrayal of Bashir. Now it’s a race to see who blows up again first, the defecation fantasizer or the crazed, meltdown-prone actor. Our money’s on Baldwin.
