  1. No, They’re Not Filming National Treasure VII: Engineers will rappel down the Washington Monument today to inspect damage from the earthquake in August.

    Fixed that for you.

  2. And now more pressure will mount for Thomas to recuse himself. But he won’t do it, ’cause he’s an activist judge…the axe he’s grinding with is adorned with teabags and wads of Koch brothers cash.

  3. @8 – The sad part about the Eat The Kids First plate was that it was revoked because somebody thought there might be a sexual meaning to it.

    It’s a pity there isn’t more room on the plate. “Choosy Moms” would be good for that. And if “Choose life” were at the top of the place, “or not” or “in jail” would be my first choices, the latter being a subversive criticism of the death penalty, which I assume North Carolina has.

  4. Tragic about the guy who got hit by the bus. Teabaggers probably protested “let him die” after realizing he didn’t have insurance. It just made me think of that, I really don’t know if he did or didn’t have insurance. Sad though.
