June 2001: The Taliban are the champions of illiteracy and highest incarnations of ignorant arrogance. RAWA believes that despite manifold impediments and meager resources, one of its duties is to carry the torch of literacy and knowledge among women in defiance of the Taliban and enlightenment-hating fundamentalists. All the classes are run secretly in some cities.

You go, RAWA!

I’d tip my hat to these folks, but I am not wearing one right now

Did I get any laughs with that attempt at humor there?

Be honest!

Blues Singer’s Woman Permitted To Tell Her Side

CLARKSDALE, MS-Ida Mae Dobbs, longtime woman of Willie “Skipbone” Jackson, called a press conference Tuesday to respond to charges levied against her by the legendary Delta blues singer.

In an attempt to increase public support of whatever the fuck it is he thinks he’s doing, President Bush trotted out the same old whoop-de-do you’ve heard over and over at a solemn-yet-resolute speech attended by soldiers, or religious leaders, or firemen, or some mix of ethnic-looking people from one of those countries.

“We have to give this plan time to wop bop a loo bop, a wop bam boom, ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang,” President Bush may as well have said. “May God [help/bless/save] the United States of America.”

LOL, and I actually did laugh out loud when I read that last part

I’m Prepared To Give My Life For This Or Any Country

You really have to wonder whether some political commentators listen to themselves when they speak.

Case in point: the incredibly monstrous Rush Limbaugh who should really do us all a favor by ceasing to have a talk show.

“You have this stupid pansy little idea that war is bad”

Hat tip to Arthur Silber for this.

Guess I am just a silly pansy who doesn’t understand why lots of death and suffering is really really great rather than something to be avoided.

How could I be so foolish!

Thank you for enlightening me Limbaugh. No, really. You’ve shown me why I could never embrace your perspective on life once again ( :

Being an apologist for torture had already gone a long way towards that. I am not sure whether that commentary or this one is worse. I’ll have to settle on them being of equal horror.

After looking at the fairly new Carnvial of Anarchy blog’s tag line, I couldn’t help but wonder if Bugs Bunny has joined the anarchist movement.

Does this mean Elmer Fudd is out to deliver statist “justice”?

Nerdy political humor!

James Dobson is one of the most horrid figures on the religious right because of his authoritarian conception of child-rearing that Arthur Silber first brought to my attention. I gained a hearty chuckle from this parody of Dobson.
