In the grand tradition of Republicans and tacky advertising: Tea party license plates are a go in Arizona.

Awwww, don’t cry now, normally-stodgy British news sources: BBC reports that around a million spectators showed up to watch Prince William drive off in a convertible yesterday, some after camping out for days.

You broke the space shuttle, you guys! Yesterday’s shuttle launch at the Kennedy Center has been delayed 48 hours due to Endeavor’s heating problems, so President Obama took it as an opportunity to hang out with Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords.

In fact, that’s well over 90 percent of what they do not meant to be a factual statement: Rick Santorum helpfully declares that Planned Parenthood likes killing minorities.

Finally, someone technically made this video for Easter, but tenacious paraplegic baby bunnies and their adorable mobility devices never go out of style. Good morning!

  2. Not sure if I’m a fan of the bunny on wheels. I know that the kid means well but as the say…the road to hell is paved in good intentions.

  3. oh yay . . a bunny having it’s spine bent backwards cuz its humans can’t figure out to straighten his legs or lower the wheelie or FUCKING SOMETHING. Good morning to you, too!

  6. Yep nothing says Tacky like advertising.

    Slog webpage is stellar.
    “Decadent Publishing, Indulge Your Fantasies” ooooooh
    “Luscious Ladies waiting for you at Sands” tempting
    “Trouble presenting pre-pride Bouncy Ball” Please Mommy, please please please let me go.

  11. If there is any fact whatsoever to Santorums statement, then it should be “minorities like killing minorities”, not “Planned Parenthood likes killing minorities”. Of course his statement is complete bullshit, if only for the fact that most of PP’s services save not only minorities, but anyone at an economic disadvantage.
    Great heckling idea. Go to anywhere Santorum is speaking, and chant “frothy, frothy” while he speaks. Hilarity ensues.

  12. I’ll warn you, Urgutha, I’ve gotten a little, how shall we say, “pre-lubricated.” You’ll have some catching up to do.

  16. I have to tell you that I was driving from Louisiana to lovely Beaumont, Texas with my pastor on Tuesday. He and I were discussing politics, and especially how entertaining the Republican primary is shaping up to be. When the subject of Rick Santorum came up, I said something along the lines of him not being able to overcome his “Google problem.” My pastor said, “Can I tell you – I Google his name several times a day and click on the link just to make sure that stays as the first one. Dan Savage did good.”

    actually the “pastor” is right.

    Savage is a dispicable unprincipled immature shitass but anything he does to hurt Santorum helps the GOP.

    it’s not what Danny means to do and he’s way to self focused and unaware to realize it but its true…

    (btw the same is true of Danny’s hardon obsession for Palin….)
