Scarborough starts the day with an on air “fuck you.”
Fuck you too Joe.
Balloon juice has a mea culpa to offset Scarborough’s George Carlin moment. And, let’s be honest, Scarborough could have been much, much worse. He could have done a Steven Lipski.

Over the course of the rest of our lifetimes, this following list of common and not so common words will become a sort of working Bible for comics and comedians. See if you can guess why.
DRAMA
mama
pajama
bramah
comma
Yokohama

Ducked into Target and heard one of the deli workers telling another one that Obama wasn’t even an American. I stopped dead in my tracks. Another shopper snorted derisively and moved away. I turned to the worker and said loudly, “you must listen to the same radio station as my mother does.”

Anne Pressly died Saturday night as a result of her injuries stemming from a brutal beating a week ago. Most likely she was attacked because of her acting work as an Ann Coulter style pundit in Oliver Stone’s movie W.

Lame and seriously unfunny hardly begins to describe the shitty and petulant way the right has behaved of late. From the substantial flagrancy of shopworn lies to eliminationist thugery (sic) to insults yet to come, they have behaved very, very badly.
