“I’m surprised that people still fight the idea we’re descended from apes. Have you ever seen chimpazees? They’re a bunch of ASSHOLES.”
aimeemann HA By the way, she is performing at Old Town. It’s pricey but it’s a small venue.
“Dr.Laura:don’t retreat…reload! (Steps aside bc her 1st Amend.rights ceased 2exist thx 2activists trying 2silence”isn’t American,not fair”)”
Sarah Palin, still struggling with the Twitter straightjacket, in support of Laura Schlessinger using the n-word 11 times. RELOAD! How many n-word shells does an ignorance gun hold? She spends a week spewing hate at Muslims and their community center, then turns around and claims criticism of Schlessinger’s words are violations of the first amendment. I’m astonished at how fast this woman gets worse.
“You *can* build a Catholic church next to a playground. Should you? … Or am I alone in thinking it’s a little ‘too soon’ for that?”
John Oliver on yesterday’s Daily Show, providing the best mockery of the Cordoba House backlash I’ve yet seen. (via robot-heart-politics: amandaw: hearshot)
“If the Republicans are being sincere, they would help us pass this long overdue bill to help the first responders whose health and livelihoods have been devastated because of their bravery on 911, rather than continuing to block this much-needed legislation.”
Harry Reid, who not only doesn’t have a spine still but is one of the few people I’ve heard actually express hope that Republicans can be sincere despite monumental evidence to the contrary.
“I should be used to the way Americans dress when traveling, yet still it manages to amaze me. It’s as if the person next to you had been washing shoe polish off a pig, then suddenly threw down his sponge, saying, ‘Fuck this. I’m going to Los Angeles!”

Obviously, @kanyewest. His Twitter stream is just what I was hoping for.
“Like I told, God helped me to see that it’s not just about black people, it’s about poor people. And I’ve come a long way. I knew that I couldn’t live with hate, you know. As my mother has said to so many, if we had tried to live with hate in our hearts, we’d probably be dead now. We have to get to the point as Toni Morrison said race exists but it doesn’t matter. We have to work just as hard..I know it’s..you know, that division is still here, but our communities are not going to thrive..you know, our children won’t have the communities that they need to be able to stay in and live in and have a good life if we can’t figure this out, you all. White people, Black people, Hispanic people, we all have to do our part to make our communities a safe place, a healthy place, a good environment.”

“Stereotypes happen. I try not to embrace them or avoid them. My job is to focus on bringing characters to life in an honest and personal way. That being said, I did play three Sanjays in 2007.”

“Bristol, at 19, is now a young adult,” said the statement attributed to the Palin family. “As parents we obviously want what is best for our children, but Bristol is ultimately in charge of determining what is best for her and her beautiful son.”

You are making a mistake and we’re telling everyone we don’t agree with your choice.

The family statement added that “Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives.”

The guy you love and father of your child is a piece of shit. Again, we’re telling everyone this because we’re classy.

“We pray that, as a couple, Bristol and Levi’s relationship matures into one that will allow Tripp to grow up graced with two loving parents in his life,” the statement said.

You currently make an awful couple that isn’t parent material but with our prayers and my fading into the limelight one day maybe you’ll become decent enough to raise Tripp right. But congratulations!

“I just gave the go ahead to Corrections Director to proceed with Gardner’s execution. May God grant him the mercy he denied his victims.”
Utah AG Mark Shurtleff live tweeting moments before firing squad execution. An eerie mashup of modern development and archaic practices.
