a post to prove that protein wisdom is not "the most depressing, disheartening, negative, pessimistic, debbie-downer site" on the web

See? Cute kittehs! Too bad both these little fuzzballs will be forced to live in Obama’s socialist America — where life is spent with a boot on the neck, crushing debt on the shoulders, and red tape tethering us to our tiny rental efficiency apartments. Just sayin’.

"Obama Said to Call for Cuts in Entitlements, Higher Taxes on Wealthy"

Naturally. Because he can’t very will wring more tax revenue out of those all this redistributed wealth is going to, after all. Newsmax: President Barack Obama will call tomorrow for a combination of reductions in entitlement spending and tax increases on higher-income Americans to address long-term fiscal debt while drawing a sharp contrast with the Republican alternative proposed by Representative Paul Ryan, according to a person familiar with the plan.

Obama /= Patton + Richard Pryor

This gets so much better when you actually see it. Honestly. People pretended to think this guy was cool. They sold him to us that way. Me, I look at him and see Dwayne Wayne after a four-pack of Bartles & Jaymes’ fuzzy navels.

"Boehner-Obama Deal Leaves FY11 Spending $773B Above FY08 Level—About as Big an Increase as Obama’s Stimulus"

Don’t mess with the GOP Jungle cats! Rrrrawr! Now. Who wants a julep?

"Deadly time vortex appears over Antarctica"

Women, children, minorities, and those people who own the rights to The Philadelphia Experiment hardest hit.

That budget compromise all you sensible pragmatic conservatives championed and then cheered about, Jen Rubin — labeling those of us disappointed with the crumbs we were fed silly extremists who Just Don’t Understand Washington and real fiscal leadership? A joke. No, really. Fortunately, I’ve told you all this repeatedly. But I guess it’s less important to get that message out broadly than it is to punish me and my ilk

And speaking of odious gender binaries structurally imprinted on the culture by a vast patriarchal conspiracy…

Tits rule! Tuesday is Equal Pay Day—so dubbed by the National Committee for Pay Equity, which represents feminist groups including the National Organization for Women, Feminist Majority, the National Council of Women’s Organizations and others. The day falls on April 12 because, according to feminist logic, women have to work that far into a calendar year before they earn what men already earned the year before. In years past, feminist

It's a bird! It's a plane!

No, it’s, uh, far more confusing even than all that! Trans men have abortions. Gender queer people have abortions. Two spirit people have abortions. People who do not fit into the box of ‘woman’ have abortions. That’s the reality we live in. And by “we,” s/he of course means “us/them”. Or some such. Damn you, English language, and the pernicious gendered structural demands your divisive binaries place on our/their consciousness(es)!

"More Controversy Clouds Wisconsin Supreme Court Race"

So says the WSJ’s Douglas Belkin today: The Wisconsin Supreme Court election that could affect a contentious union-rights law just got even messier. On Monday, the 80-year-old Democratic election observer who vouched for the conduct of the Waukesha County Clerk in the April 5 state Supreme Court race said she was kept in the dark and now isn’t sure what happened. Last week, observer Ramona Kitzinger told reporters that the

Pyrrhic-view

Shannen Coffin, NRO: [The AP is reporting on the budget deal] that the cuts consist of cancellation of one-time expenditures on milk price supports, cuts to unspent census money, and highway expenditures already zeroed out by other legislation. Undoubtedly, there are some real savings in the package, like $10 billion in earmark reductions. But even there, the policy of earmark elimination was already enacted shortly after the new Congress was
