9 new deli sandwiches named in honor of an Obama victory

“The Marble Rye Savior” — chopped liver and whitefish piled high with onions on half black-half white rye. From the Carnegie Deli, 854 7th Ave, at 55th St, New York, NY “The Progressive Club” — turkey bacon, thin-sliced turkey breast, lettuce, tomato, onions, and mayo on toasted white bread. Divided into four equal sections, to be distributed equally to four hungry Comrades. No exceptions. Pickle and chips extra. From Katz’s

“Mainstreaming corruption”

— Or, “It Ain’t Against the Law if a Majority Says It Ain’t.” Call it civil disobedience. Or, if you prefer, electoral nullification. It’s a Democrat thing. You wouldn’t understand. (h/t Aldo)

Bill Ayers the “respectable” “mainstream” communist eliminationist…

…whom FBI informant Larry Grathwohl notes, in the 1982 documentary No Place To Hide, had, along with his Weather Underground colleagues, dreams of a communist takeover of the US — one in which 25 million people would be eliminated. And they were serious. But what the hell. It’s not like they were able to pull it off, right? Instead, they only managed a few bombings, some organized vandalism, domestic terrorism

When you type your url into the the address bar, you get a pop-up message asking, “Really? I mean, like, are you sure…?”

Humpday diversion from unsavory politics

I mean, aren’t there targets other than race-baiting socialist charismats on whom we should be concentrating our derision? Like, for instance, street-theater capitalist charismats named David Blaine? To wit: How I do so miss the joyful innocence of a Doug Henning “Muppet Show” appearance. And gas lines. (h/t BL RAG)

Howard Kurtz: “Coverage of McCain Much More Negative Than of Obama”

Study here, alongside other surprising findings. Like, Alec Baldwin likes him some Democrats. And a bag of tasty cannola.

Is there no word that isn’t Rethuglican code for “negro”?

Of course there isn’t. Because recall, in today’s linguistic environment, the code is in the eye of the beholder / receiver — and can be either conveniently divorced from the intent of the encoder, or else attributed to conscious or unconscious attitudes the encoder is said to hold (in this case, the “proof” being that McCain and Palin are Republicans, and so are naturally inveterate racists). Hence, Lewis Diuguid, Kansas
