Politics: Newt Gingrich says something that makes us wince

  • What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]? That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.
  • Newt Gingrich • Saying something so insane that we don’t even understand the point he was going for. “Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior”? How? What is he doing that you have to bring his ethnicity into the fold? Dave Weigel’s headline for this nugget, which he posted over the weekend, is “What Was Newt Gingrich Talking About?” We don’t think anyone can figure it out. Robert Gibbs tries, but he doesn’t get all the way there. source

Offbeat: Pedobear: Misguided police department makes 4chan’s day

  • But he’s so friendly-looking!No matter. The San Luis Obispo (Calif.) County Sheriff’s Department has warned parents to keep an eye out for this bear, who is described as having a “lecherous nature” and as having been adopted by real pedophiles as a symbol of um, being pedophiles. The article goes on to say that, “Although there have been no reported sightings of the image on the Central Coast, individuals dressed in the bear costume and car decals have been seen in Southern California.” Police don’t understand the Internet! source

World: “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!” Tomorrow promises bad things

  • 4/23A misguided artist draws a picture parodying the South Park Mohammed thing and sets 5/20 as a date for everyone to draw Mohammed. It gets attention because she sends it to blogs.
  • 4/24 Afraid of the monster she just created, she disowns the picture she personally sent to the blogs and calls it a joke that got out of hand. It doesn’t matter; the idea has already taken hold.
  • 5/19 Pakistan bans Facebook – the entire site – because of the fan page for this thing which has gotten out of hand in a way only things on the internet can. There are videos, too. source

Politics: Sarah Palin assumes everyone agrees with Arizona’s immigration law

  • It’s time for Americans across this great country to stand up and say ‘We’re all Arizonans now and, in clear unity, we say Mr. President, do your job, secure our border.’
  • Sarah Palin • In a speech stumping with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer designed to defend the state’s anti-illegal-immigration law. OK, let’s analyze this statement and how dumbheaded it is. The phrase “we’re all Arizonans now” suggests that nearly everyone agrees with this law. While many people favor it, there are lots of people that don’t, including many in the Latino community. Yet, she’s treating a law many are criticizing for reasons of racial profiling as if it’s a major populist statement. Populism doesn’t work with laws that divide the country, Sarah. Try this with abortion or gay rights and you’ll see what we’re getting at. source
