The Coup love SOME boosters
May 8, 2008
I was trying to upload The Coup’s brilliant I Love Boosters for my June comp: “A booster is a person who jacks from the retail/And sells it in the hood for dirt-cheap resale…”.
Well, guess what? The fucking file’s locked!

Update: Doesn’t he look like a young Billy Mitchell? Also, Cracked ran a caption competition and the winner made me laugh out loud: “A threesome’s a threesome.”

May 3, 2008…unfortunately about eight years too late.
“Several times, the President went out of his way to remind me that he
was the Commander in Chief. You don’t have to keep telling me that, I
thought. I know who you are. Like others, I have been around people who
are good at wielding power. They never have to tell you they are in
charge. They just are, and you know it. What I saw and heard that day
really unsettled me. I’m the Commander in Chief… I’m the President…
I’m the Commander in Chief… It was unpresidential.”

I just realised how much the late ‘Father of LSD’, Albert Hoffmann, looks like comedy writer David Quantick. Coincidence?

If you really want to attack a ridiculous Conservative idea, ask a Conservative. Link
And now here is Ben Stein, sneering and scoffing at Darwin, a man who
spent decades observing and pondering the natural world — that world
Stein glimpses through the window of his automobile now and then, when
he’s not chattering into his cell phone. Stein claims to be doing it in
the name of an alternative theory of the origin of species: Yet no such
alternative theory has ever been presented, nor is one presented in the
movie, nor even hinted at. There is only a gaggle of fools and
fraudsters, gaping and pointing like Apaches on seeing their first
locomotive: “Look! It moves! There must be a ghost inside making it
move!”
It has to be said, though… if Conservatives like Derbyshire hadn’t thrown in their lot with religious wackjobs in order to get a semi-retarded man elected President, then maybe articles like this one wouldn’t be necessary.
