Great timing, Capitol Hill Daily.

On the same day the Dow Jones climbed above 15,000, the small-time conservative publication sent a message to the Citizens United listserv, accusing Obama of destroying the stock market with his Sharia socialism.

But c’mon: You can’t manufacture an eye-rolly scandal without a catchy name. How about Stockyndra? Stockghazi? Fast and Portfolious? Be creative!

* King Kim Jong-Un is a total Lannister.

* Axe Cop save the Queen.

* This Jesus is the most Jesusy of all Jesuses that ever Jesused.

* SIREN: Drudge Report got hacked on April Fools’ Day!

* The unwholesome effects of heterosexual marriage on children.

* And the effects of 1950s values on children don’t seem any better.

* This is like if Sofia Coppola decided to start making propaganda movies.

Deep (Crazy) Thoughts With Louie Gohmert (R-TX)

Like any good conservative event, CPAC 2013 kicked off with a WAR PANEL featuring Rep. Louie Gohmert, noted WAR ENTHUSIAST. To the highlights:

  1. Louie Gohmert describes seeing a dude wearing glasses. Says the guy looked “somewhat liberal” thanks to the specs. That’s right, corrected vision isn’t for freedom-lovers! See things with your all-American beer belly, not with your eyes!

  2. Gohmert condemns the United States for withdrawing from Vietnam, because we totally could have won that war: “Vietnam was winnable, but people in Washington decided we would not win it.” 

  3. Speaking about the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan: “I know they’re Muslims, but they’re our friends.” Rebranding at work!

This has been Deep Thoughts With Louie Gohmert, CPAC 2013 edition.

Joe Arpaio is 80 years old and has three facial expressions: cranky, sad and cranky/sad.
We took a break from DNC action to spend a night in the heart of red North Carolina, where we encountered the (in)famous Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Parents in more conservative areas come up with names that are more creative or androgynous.
