Most people do not know that Asshole Fuckfaces are not born, they are hatched in filth. Like maggots, they feed on death or shit for nourishment. At some point, they burrow into the Earth and begin their transformation process. After several years, they burst forth from the soil as fully formed humans. Then they live on Earth for a while, doing the Asshole Fuckface work, until they shed their human skin and metamorphose into pure energy balls of hate. True story. But for now, the ones that walk the planet must be revealed to all, so that we may laugh at how horrible they are. This week gave us a bountiful harvest of Asshole Fuckfaces. So, put on your leather poncho, because this is going to be ugly.

First up, apples don’t fall far from the Asshole Fuckface tree.

Bob Schaffer is a former Republican Congressman who is currently running for the Senate in Colorado. He’s a quality individual who loves human rights abuses, the company of lobbyists engaged in illegal activity, forced abortions, and helping oil companies secure contracts in opposition of the State Departments wishes.

Now his son, Justin Schaffer, is in the spotlight because he apparently learned quite a bit from the old man. Justin attends the University of Dayton and he has a Facebook page. Holy shit does he have a Facebook page.


Among the Facebook page additions are a plethora of images that mock Barack Obama -- painting him as Muslim, elitist, homosexual and a terrorist. One even goes so far as to compare the presumptive Democratic candidate for president to the cereal-box character "Count Chocula."


Well, he said everything but “anti-Christ.” All in good fun, right?


One "bumper sticker" shows an image of Jesus holding an M-16 in front of a Confederate flag, with the words "What Would Republican Jesus Do?"


Well, that’s an interesting question. I’m guessing Jesus would not hold an M-16. The kid is drowning in retarded slogans.



I saved the best for last.



Ha ha ha. Slavery! Fun shit, especially if you are a privileged, white Asshole Fuckface. Please, Dayton, throw this piece of shit out of school.

Next, we head to Missouri for some legal Asshole Fuckfacery.

Last month, Ozark police receive a call that a young man was walking along a highway and he seemed “agitated.” When police arrived, 17-year-old Mace Hutchinson was lying on the shoulder of US 65, after having fallen 30 feet from an overpass. Hutchinson had a broken back and a punctured lung. So, what to do if you are an Asshole Fuckface?


Two officers fired as many as 19 shots from their Tasers while trying to subdue the teen, the report said, although it was not initially clear how many times Hutchinson was shocked.


Why not shit on him, as well? Police said Hutchinson was


Shouting statements such as "cops, kill, shoot" and "smoke crack" and trying to walk or roll toward the road.


Uh huh. For those of you who are not familiar with law enforcement, this is pretty much you classic cop lie. They lie all the time, to protect their abusive behavior. Dude lying on sidewalk with broken back and punctured lung is the definition of non-threatening. But the police department conducted an internal investigation and determined it was totally cool. Enjoy the lawsuit, Asshole Fuckfaces.

Next up, an Asshole Fuckface tried to make his own butter – with his cock.

Getulino Ferreira Paraizo is a 53-year-old Brazilian who enjoys cows. A lot. By “a lot,” I mean he fucks the shit out of them.


A twisted oddball with an insatiable animal fetish was arrested after allegedly having sex with 400 cows.

The 53-year-old cleaner told police he did not fancy women and only cows and horses got him randy.


Well, maybe the cows had a good time. It’s possible he took them out for some nice alfalfa first.


But police say it is even more bizarre.

They accuse him of torturing the animals, sometimes ripping out their eyes before having sex with them and then killing them.


Well, that’s a boner kill – or it should be. Getulino says he can’t have sex with women because he was sexually abused as a child.


“I tried once but couldn’t do it. I only feel like it if it’s a cow or a horse.”

He added: “I need to stop doing this rubbish. I want treatment.”


Understatement. Now, all we have to do is find a therapist who specializes in cow rape murderers. Police believe the Asshole Fuckface raped and killed over 400 cows in 4 years.

Next up, Asshole Fuckfaces do not go well with sandwiches and emergency services.

Meet Reginald Peterson, 42, of Jacksonville, Florida. Reggie wants shit done right, and if it ain’t done right, Reggie brings out the big guns.


Peterson walked into the Arlington sandwich shop about 7:45 p.m. Thursday and ordered two subs - a spicy Italian with everything and a chicken breast. When he discovered the spicy Italian didn't have sauce, he demanded that it be corrected, according to a police report.

Employees told police the burly construction worker became belligerent while a sandwichmaker was working on his order, then went outside to call 911 "so that the police could have his sandwich made to his specifications," the report said.


Dude enjoys certain sandwich specifications and he doesn’t take kindly to those sandwich specifications being ignored. Also, Reggie has a problem with poor service. And he is a fucking moron.


"We put everything that he asked for on it, and he comes back hollering at everyone," said one employee, who wouldn't give her name because of company policy. "He was mad because we didn't put any sauces on it."


I guess so. The store manager locked Reggie outside and called the cops. When the police arrived, they tried to calm Reggie down, without success, so they arrested him for making false 911 calls.


He has prior convictions for burglary, battery and disorderly intoxication.


Never would have guessed Reggie is a boozer.

Finally, don’t drink an Asshole Fuckface's beer. Ever.

Regina Williams and Willie Anderson were sitting in his car in Chicago on Wednesday night, when Regina realized Willie was drinking her beer.


They began to quarrel, and Williams allegedly pulled a knife she carried for protection and began stabbing Anderson.


So, don’t drink her beer, I guess.


Anderson yelled for help, but Williams continued to stab him.


Actually, definitely don’t drink her beer.


Afterward, Williams got out of the car and called down the street to Anderson's nephew, saying, "You better come get your uncle—I just killed him," according to her arrest report.


Well, that was nice.


Williams got back in the vehicle and finished drinking her beer.


And that’s a happy ending, right? I mean, from an Asshole Fuckface perspective. She has been arrested and charged with first degree murder. And I really want to know what kind of beer it was.

Congrats to all of this week's Asshole Fuckfaces! You will each recieve a FearTheReaper beret. (Sorry.)

Russian and Georgian Forces Clash in Ossetia

FRIDAY AUGUST 8 2008 12:30 PM

Submitted by RedBstrd. Edited By crispy.

TAGS: Russia, war

"Russia is fighting a war with us in our own territory," Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili announced today.

Reuters reported today that the Russian military has entered into territory claimed by the Republic of Georgia - what is currently a breakaway region known as South Ossetia. Russian tanks are currently clashing with Georgian forces in South Ossetia and the Russian airforce is striking targets in Georgia proper.

Russia's decision to use force stemmed most immediately from Georgia's attack on the Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali yesterday. Conflict over spy drones, mutual sniper attacks, and artillery shelling has marred Russian-Georgian relations in the preceding weeks and months.

Russia claims that Georgia is to blame for the fighting:

Saakashvili rejected Russian assertions that the fighting was sparked by events in South Ossetia, where Moscow accuses Georgian forces of aggressive action against Russian peacekeepers and others.


Meanwhile, the Georgian president accuses Russian forces of intentionally targeting civilians and dismisses the Russian claims.

For those not familiar with politics of the south Caucasus, Georgia is an independent nation that borders Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. The nation is known for its excellent wines (like kindzmarauli and kvanchkara), spicy cuisine, and being the birthplace of Iosif Dzhugashvili - better known as Stalin. The landscape of Georgia is beautiful and it is home to four UNESCO cultural heritage sites. The population of Georgia is overwhelmingly Eastern Orthodox and has been Christian since Roman times. It is also the home to 12 different living languages (plus Russian and Armenian) and at least 18 distinct ethnic groups.

Russian-Georgian relations date back to the early 1860s, when King Herekle asked for Russian aid (as a fellow Orthodox nation) to secure their independence against both the Ottoman Turks and the Qajar Persians who competed for dominance of the Caucasus. Russia, under Catherine the Great, repeatedly failed to honor military obligations to Herekle but due to court intrigue, the aging monarch feared for the survival of his dynasty. Consequently, he signed the Treaty of Georgievsk in 1873, making Russia the protector of the eastern half of modern Georgia. Under Paul I, Russia formally annexed eastern Georgia in 1801 and conquered the rest within 10 years. The nation remained part of the Russian empire and the Soviet Union (with the exception of a brief independence following the collapse of the Romanov dynasty) until 1991, when Georgia declared its independence.

Things were not rosy* for post-independence Georgia, however, as even the former Soviet dissident and human rights activist Zviad Gamsakhurdia ruled in an authoritarian manner (even accusing his enemies of "sabotage" and treason). After his ouster by a violent coup, the opposition forces appointed Eduard Shevardnadze as president of the nation. His rule was likewise characterized by corruption and nepotism, leading to his peaceful ouster in the Rose Revolution of 2003. Russian Foreign Minister Ivanov negotiated the resignation of Gamsakhurdia in a summit meeting with the Georgian president and the opposition (including pro-Western and American-educated current president Mikheil Saakashvili).

While political representation has taken a turn for the better in the past five years in Georgia, the country is plagued with problems. Almost half of the population lives beneath the poverty line. Corruption and crime are rampant. More importantly - two regions of Georgia broke away after the 1991 independence: South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Following Saakashvili's campaign promises to clamp down on separatism, the leader of the autonomous region of Adjara also threatened to secede, leading to another crisis. While Georgia resolved the Adjara crisis peacefully, it was defeated militarily in its campaigns in both South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Georgia cannot exert military control over either region, largely due to Russian support of the separatists. Both of these conflicts led to slaughter of innocent civilians by all sides and ended in ethnic cleansing of the Georgian population in the breakaway regions.

South Ossetia continues to be a problem for Russian-Georgian relations. The UN, EU, and NATO refuse to recognize South Ossetia as an independent nation, while Russia extends visas to the population. Georgia hopes to suppress the Ossetian de facto independence and Saakashvili is under pressure from the public to do so. Meanwhile, Russia backs South Ossetia as a means of exerting power over Georgia and countering American influence in the region.

America, in fact, is deeply involved in the Russian-Georgian conflict at least in the eyes of the two players. Following George W. Bush's visit to Tbilisi in 2005, the Georgians renamed the street by their airport to "George W. Bush avenue." As a Reuters article notes, the United States has 120 soldiers in Georgia. President Saakashvili asserts that the influence of the US is even deeper, though. According to him, the latest Russian-Georgian conflict:

... is not about Georgia anymore. It's about America, its values.


He continued to say:

They made no secret. The are unhappy with our closeness with the United States, with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, with the West in general.


Meanwhile, the NY Times reports that:

Georgia is also valuable to Washington because it is an ally in the Iraq war. With 2,000 troops in Iraq, it is the third-largest contributor of troops there, after the United States and Britain.


The United States will have difficulty remaining uninvolved, especially given Georgia's immediate decision to pull these troops out of Iraq.

US Presidential candidate John McCain has called on Russia to withdraw from Georgia and asks for an emergency UN Security Council meeting (Note: one already took place 12 hours before he called for it). Some bloggers are already claiming that this event will increase McCain's rating in polls because of his hawkish stance.

*Yeah, that's a pun on Georgia's Rose Revolution...

Turns out Democrats can be just as horrible, hateful people as our GOP friends. This week Democrats in a couple of primaries took the low road with ugly religious and gay attacks. It’s really sweet to see the supposed liberal party go to depths many Republicans would not.

First came Democrat Nikki Tinker, who is running against Democratic Representative Steven Cohen for Tennessee’s 9th district seat. The election is today and Nikki is apparently down in polling, so she took the lowest road possible. It’s a road Hitler would have been proud of. Her latest ad is far from subtle.


In the ad, a child’s voice is heard praying while the narrator, clearly meant to be a black woman but not Tinker, wonders who “the real Steve Cohen is anyway” while questioning one of Cohen votes on school prayer while in the state Senate.

While he’s in OUR churches clapping his hands and tapping his feet, he was the only Senator who thought OUR kids shouldn’t be allowed to pray in school.


Yeah, what is that Jew doing in your churches? And how dare that Jew uphold the Constitution of the United States by voting against prayer in schools. I wish I could show you the ad, but Tinker pulled it from You Tube due to complaints.

This isn’t the first time Cohen’s religion has come into the race. Over the past few months, black ministers have passed out these fliers:



Nikki Tinker has refused to denounce the fliers. The black ministers began to circulate them because of Cohen’s support for federal hate crimes legislation to protect gay rights. Go Democrats!

Oh, and don’t forget about Cohen’s KKK connections.



That’s about as low as it gets - and it's coming from a Democrat. Meanwhile, Cohen is a freshman Congressman who sounds like a decent legistator.


He has earned a reputation as a loquacious, media-friendly liberal, outspoken in his opposition to the Iraq war, aggressive in questioning Bush administration officials on the House Judiciary Committee and assiduous in efforts to cultivate his majority-black constituency, including initiatives to rename federal buildings in Memphis after African-Americans.


But he’s not black and he’s a Jew and Nikki Tinker is making sure everyone in the district knows. Hopefully she loses the election today.

Some equally vile conduct is occurring in Kansas, home of ignorance. Gail Finney, a marketing consultant and vice-chairwoman of the local Democratic Party, was in trouble going into the final days of the primary for the state's 84th District House seat. But yesterday, she defeated Inga Taylor, a black lesbian, by using the classic GOP “here comes the gay agenda” attacks in the final days of the campaign.

Using a “coordinated mail, e-mail and phone campaign,” Finney was able to swing voters and win easily. Here’s a sample of an email that went out.


Taylor considers it an honor that if elected, she will be the 1st openly gay African American Legislator in the United States. If you will go to the www.victoryfund.com website, you will see that they are excited about the same and working strategically to ensure that this candidate wins the election . . . Who would she be representing? Those that fund her from the East Coast or 84th District? Is this what we want to be known for in Kansas? In Wichita?


Oh, my God no. They might change the name to Lesbichita.

The Victory Fund realized how serious the anti-gay attacks were on Tuesday and asked Kansas governor and serious vice president contender, Kathleen Sebelius, to denounce Finney’s tactics. Sebelius did nothing. If there's one thing you can always count on from Democrats, it's that they will run away from their beliefs during election time.


“What’s the matter with Kansas Democrats? We plan for and expect openly gay candidates will face attacks from right-wing bigots, not Democratic Party officials,” said Victory Fund president and CEO Chuck Wolfe, adding, “This is divisive, gutter politics at its worst, and Gail Finney should be ashamed of herself.”


Go Democratic Party! Feel the pride.

Quality Race Baiting

TUESDAY AUGUST 5 2008 6:00 AM

Submitted by FearTheReaper. Edited By erin_broadley.

TAGS: Southern Strategy, McCain, Bush, Reagan, Kevin Phillips, Obama

The Republicans are masters of using race to stir up white anger and fear to win elections. They play the race card, as it is referred to by hacks, and are more subtle and effective with it each year. “Playing the race card” is just a palatable way of describing their racist bullshit. I don’t know how long the GOP has been doing this, my memory only goes back to Reagan, who was a master at riling up the master race.

In 1980, Reagan gave a campaign speech in Philadelphia, Mississippi, during which he said,


I believe in states' rights.


It was obvious to anyone with a brain that Reagan was signaling white racists that he was on their side. After all, he was speaking the city where three civil rights workers were killed in 1964 and any retard knows what "states rights" means in the South.

If you don’t buy that connection, then don’t forget Reagan’s many quotes about a “welfare queen driving a Cadillac,” or his claiming that the Voting Rights Act had been “humiliating to the South,” or his help keeping Bob Jones University from losing its tax exempt status because of a ban on interracial dating, or his opposition to a holiday for Martin Luther King. Reagan was not just a terrible president, but he was also a straight-up racist asshole.


On July 31st, just days before Reagan went to Neshoba County, the New York Times reported that the Ku Klux Klan had endorsed Reagan. In its newspaper, the Klan said that the Republican platform “reads as if it were written by a Klansman.” Reagan rejected the endorsement, but only after a Carter cabinet official brought it up in a campaign speech.


This was the plan, called the Southern Strategy, encouraged by Richard Nixon strategist Kevin Phillips.


From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are.


That’s the plan they have followed, ever since. Bush used the famous Willy Horton ad against Michael Dukakis quite effectively.



Oh, my God! A black man!

But the country has changed. That kind of overt bullshit would not go over well in many places now. I’m not saying it wouldn’t still go over great in many states, because it would. But the number of people it would turn off across the nation would not make the ad effective today. And there’s the new problem: The Democratic candidate is a black guy. That means the Republicans have to walk a very fine racist line. And they are doing it very well, so far.

The John McCain tactic seems to be to create ads most whites won’t consider racist, but blacks will.



That’s obviously a racist ad. It’s subtle, but if you don’t think showing two young white women in an ad with a black man, and tossing the word “FOREIGN” up on screen with the black guy’s face isn’t racist, then you are a fucking moron. Unfortunately, when blacks become upset and claim it is racist, McCain can scream innocence and say he’s a victim of “the race card.” Poor rich, white guy. Sadly, Obama fell right into the trap.


They're going to try to say that I'm a risky guy, they're going to try to say, 'Well, you know, he's got a funny name and he doesn't look like all the presidents on the dollar bills and the five dollar bills and, and they're going to send out nasty emails.


That’s a pretty innocuous statement, but just commenting on the ad put him in a negative light, according to polls.


Sixty-nine percent (69%) of the nation’s voters say they’ve seen news coverage of the McCain campaign commercial that includes images of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton and suggests that Barack Obama is a celebrity just like them. Of those, just 22% say the ad was racist while 63% say it was not.


The reason for that is simple; there are more white people than black people. This is about how people relate and most of us don't relate to racism, subtle or otherwise.


In a dispute about race, the McCain campaign knows it will end up with the larger half. For the most part, most white people's experience with race isn't one of racial discrimination. They can only relate to racial discrimination in the abstract. What white people can relate to is the fear of being unjustly accused of racism. This is the larger half. This is why allegations of racism often provoke more outrage than actual racism, because most of the country can relate to one (the accusation of racism) easier than the other (actual racism). For this reason, in a political conflict over race, the McCain campaign has the advantage, because saying the race card has been played is actually the ultimate race card.


Considering McCain is a doddering old fool, who has taken the least popular stance on nearly every position, his only chance to win is by using race. The Republican machine knows exactly what it is doing and they are doing it well. The race is tightening. Obama has stupidly moved away from his base, while Republicans are drawing theirs together. Democrats should be very thankful that McCain is a senile old man.



The debates could be devastating. Don’t forget, Reagan and Carter were tied in the polls going into the final debate, just one week before the election. You can be certain McCain will look horrible in the debates, but the damage may already be done with “the race card.” And Republicans, when you bunch that ballot for McCain this year, know you are supporting racism. Know that you are a vile, filthy person who supports the worst in mankind.

Asshole Fuckface Roundup #57

SATURDAY AUGUST 2 2008 6:00 AM

TAGS: Derrick Shepherd, Toby Keith

Asshole Fuckface Day is upon us again, like a horny mutt banging away on our legs. It never stops. It can’t. Because there will always be Asshole Fuckfaces crawling about the Earth, leaving their slimy trails of filth. This week was especially craven and the choices were plentiful. Yet, doing my duty as appointed by God, I chose wisely and cautiously. Asshole Fuckface picking is not something one does on a whim. There is an extensive background check and several criteria must be met. It is now time for you to behold the worst of the worst, the vilest humans on Earth. So, put on your full body armor because this is going to be ugly.

We start with some wonderful New Orleans Asshole Fuckfacery.

You can always count on a politician from New Orleans to be doing something horrible at any given moment. This week, State Senator Derrick Shepherd stepped up. Apparently Sam’s sister and mommy were threatened by his ex-girlfriend and he did not know that police existed, so he took matters into his own hands.


Ashford told police that...someone began throwing rocks at her bedroom window to get her attention. Ashford said she later responded to the disturbance by going to the rear door of her home, where she found Shepherd.

Shepherd then forced himself into her home and punched her in the stomach after they argued.


“Lady puncher” is not going to look good on the next campaign poster.


Ashford told police that she had grabbed a small board to defend herself and locked herself in a rear room on the second floor of her home. Shepherd then followed her into the room, damaging the door.


She finally got crazy Sam to leave, after he locked her outside and she called 911.


She later discovered her cellular phone and $100 missing from her home. The phone was later found at Shepherd's home when he was arrested.


Being a State Senator, you wouldn’t want to pass up a chance to steal and entire 100 clams. I mean, what could go wrong? Notice that the above paragraph says that Shepherd was arrested. Holy shit was he arrested.


Shepherd, D-Marrero, was arrested Saturday and booked with unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling, simple battery and theft over $500.

Shepherd was arrested at his residence in Stonebridge. The sheriff's office said there were two women in the house, one of whom appeared to be performing a lap dance on Shepherd, who was on a sofa.


Best State Senator, ever. And one hell of an Asshole Fuckface.

Next up, some country singer Asshole Fuckfacery.

Genius Toby Keith, who is in the Asshole Fuckface Hall of Fame for writing The Taliban Song, was on the Glenn Beck radio show this week. Now, ordinarily I would expect some sort of wormhole to open up when two of the dumbest people on Earth come together, but for some reason that did not happen. What did occur was one of the dumbest, most racist, ignorant statements that have been uttered during this presidential campaign.




KEITH: I think that the black people would say he don’t talk, act, or carry himself as a black person.

BECK: What does that even mean?

KEITH: I don’t know what that means, but I’m saying that’s what I think that they would say. Even though the black society would pull for him, I still think that they think in the back of their mind that the only reason that he is in is because he talks, acts and carries himself as a Caucasian.


Indeed. Obama’s not slapping bitches or flashing his bling. Also, I don’t know if you have noticed but Obama does not have a single gold tooth - and he doesn't hold weekly dog fights in his backyard. How are black people supposed to relate?

Next up, what happens when you do something horribly wrong? In Asshole Fuckface Land, you get a medal.

In December, a Minneapolis SWAT team entered the house of a law abiding citizen and had a bit of a shoot out.


The eight officers -- who had SWAT training -- entered the house expecting to find a violent gang member. Instead, they found Vang Khang, a 35-year-old homeowner who thought he was being robbed. Khang shot through his bedroom door at the officers until he understood who they were.

In the midst of the shootout were Moua, who is Khang's wife, and their six children, who range in age from 3 to 15.


Hmm. Well, obviously somebody fucked up. The Minneapolis department acknowledged the raid was a mistake and apologized. But that has not helped the family.


My family is a mess right now. My [9-year-old] son, who saw the shooting, still has nightmares and has needed therapy.


Well, what to do? How about some fucking medals, bitch?


Eight Minneapolis officers received medals in City Hall Monday for their valor in a botched raid that the city apologized for last year.


Congrats on fucking up, and getting into a shoot out with an innocent man that could have led to the death of both police officers and children. Seriously, thanks for not killing innocent children. You get an Asshole Fuckface award. Maybe next year you can shoot up an old folks home.

Finally, some rich Saudi Arabian Asshole Fuckfacery.

A Sheik in Saudi Arabia had quite a dilemma on his hands this week. He owns and Lamborghini, but he needed an oil change by an approved dealer. If you’re an Asshole Fuckface, the choice is simple.


A RICH Arab sent his Lamborghini on a 6,500-mile round trip to Britain for a service.

The £190,000 supercar was put on a scheduled flight from Qatar to Heathrow – then flown BACK after the oil check.

Money was no object as the flight would have cost the owner around £20,000.


That’s some serious Asshole Fuckfacery, there.


A cargo handler at Heathrow blasted the car’s environmental damage.

He said: “It would have been far more efficient to fly mechanics out there.”


Hey, there’s a thought! Man, I can't wait for that country's time to end.

Congrats to all of this week's Asshole Fuckfaces. You will each receive a FearTheReaper video game. Please enjoy more of FearTheReaper's nonsense on his blog, Stop All Monsters.

Republicans seem to be having some sort of summer corruption blowout. Between an on-the-run Karl Rove, a gagged EPA, a law breaking Justice Department and an indicted Senator Ted Stevens, it’s a jamboree of wrongness. The current Republican Party takes a daily bath in sweet corruption, but this week stands above all others.

Let us start with Karl Rove, everyone’s favorite pasty, flabby beast. Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee voted to hold Karl in contempt of Congress.


A House panel Wednesday voted to cite former top White House aide Karl Rove for contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena to answer questions about the dismissals of several federal prosecutors as its Senate counterpart explored punishments for an array of alleged past and present Bush administration misdeeds.


Karl is, of course, willing to speak to members of the House Judiciary Committee behind closed doors without any recording of the conversation, because that’s what innocent guys do. He also wants it to happen in a submarine in the middle of the Atlantic and everyone must be nude. Also, after the meeting all Senators must be sandblasted until their hair and skin is removed. Finally, they must be blinded and their memories erased.

Karl doesn’t want to testify in front of Congress because he’s as guilty as they come. But don’t expect the Democrats to do anything. Nancy The Coward Pelosi still has to approve the final vote in front of the entire House. If someone could be held accountable, you can be sure Nancy will run away. But still, it’s fun to see Karl’s name and “contempt” in the same headline.

The Justice Department is also looking like a giant, steaming turd today. Anyone could have read the story on the front page of the Washington Post yesterday. The Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility released a report and, well, is it good when the Justice Department has been breaking the law? I'm guessing it's not good, mostly because it is called THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.


For nearly two years, a young political aide sought to cultivate a "farm system" for Republicans at the Justice Department, hiring scores of prosecutors and immigration judges who espoused conservative priorities and Christian lifestyle choices.

That aide, Monica M. Goodling, exercised what amounted to veto power over a wide range of critical jobs, asking candidates for their views on abortion and same-sex marriage and maneuvering around senior officials who outranked her, including the department's second-in-command.


Oops. All that stuff is illegal, Monica. But it’s not surprising, considering she was the “White House liaison.” Huh, I wonder why Karl won’t answer questions under oath?

And speaking of breaking the law, what up Ted Stevens? Yesterday, Ted became the first Senator in 20 years to be indicted for felonies while serving in office. Well done, sir. The bat-shit, crazy Alaskan Senator was indicted on seven felony counts for lying to hide the $250,000 in “gifts and services” he received from an oil and construction company.


VECO employees and contractors performed architectural design services, put the house on stilts and installed a new three-bedroom first floor, a finished basement, a garage, a Viking gas range and a wraparound deck, according to the indictment.

While Stevens paid a construction firm for its work, he never reimbursed VECO or its contractors.


Shit. I didn’t realize I couldn’t take a three-bedroom first floor, a basement, a garage, a gas range and a wraparound deck from my buddy. How about if I give it back?


Meanwhile, as Stevens then served as the powerful chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Allen and VECO sought his help with international projects, grants from the National Science Foundation and funding for a natural gas pipeline on Alaska’s North Slope, the grand jury charged.


Stevens is looking at 5 years in the slammer. He’s 84. I’m laughing.

And finally, the EPA is going into some sort of Branch Davidian Waco lockdown, sans the kid fucking. Under Bush, the EPA has taken a lot of shit for lying and basically doing the opposite of what it was created to do. Several congressional committees have requested documents on the EPA’s position on global warming and the EPA responded with a giant, “Go fuck yourself.” Last week, EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson decided not to appear in front of two Senate committees to discuss why the agency does the opposite of its staff's technical and legal recommendations. And now the agency is in crazy lockdown mode.


The Environmental Protection Agency is telling its pollution enforcement officials not to talk with congressional investigators, reporters and even the agency's own inspector general, according to an internal e-mail provided to The Associated Press.

The June 16 message instructs 11 managers in the EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, the branch of the agency charged with making sure environmental laws are followed, to remind their staff members to keep quiet.


Let’s fire some tear gas in there and send in the battering rams. My God, just think of the shit we are going to learn about these agencies when Bush leaves office and a new crew comes in.

The current Republican Party is insane.

Jon Voight Rebuttal

TAGS: Jon Voight, Barack Obama

For those of you who don’t know, Jon Voight penned an Op-ed for the Washington Times yesterday. I now realize why his daughter won’t speak to him. Jon Voight is clearly a fucking moron and a lunatic. It’s a delightful combination. I’d like to respond to some of the points Jon made in his opinion piece, because it’s laughably moronic.


Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger.


Uh. What? How’s the whiskey intake gin blossom face?



Barack Obama did not grow up listening to any of the people you just mentioned. Not one. So, this op-ed really didn’t start well for you. Right off the bat, you’re a horrible fucking liar. But, I’ll keep reading.


We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.


Actually, “we” can say militant angry teachers do not affect “us.” I haven’t been. I actually can’t think of any one of my friends who have been. I don’t know what sort of circles you run in, Voight, but now your peeps scare me. As far as Obama running the country “in their mindset,” are you a complete moron, or what? I would enjoy just one quote from Barack Obama that would back up this claim.


It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.


Uh. I am nearly speechless. I do not know how we can exist in the same world. Maybe you have a pair of those glasses from They Live. It’s the only way I can explain your insanely distorted reality.


I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.


Hey, you threw in a “so-called”! You put it in front of “peace movement,” you clever dog. Did you go to a Rush Limbaugh training camp? That kind of shit is so weak and simple-minded that I’m surprised anyone who can operate a computer would write it. And it is “so-called,” mostly because, that’s what it is called. Do you understand, the so-called Jon Voight? You don’t get to change the name because you don’t want it to be so. And as far as blaming the peace movement for the slaughter of 2.5 million people in two countries, well, good point. You are totally right. Vietnam was going swimmingly and the initial invasion was not responsible for all those deaths. Only the end part.


Those same leaders who were in the streets in the '60s are very powerful today in their work to bring down the Iraq war and to attack our president, and they have found their way into our schools. William Ayers is a good example of that.


Hey, I’d just like to point out here that you played a so-called gay prostitute in a movie. What did that teach our kids? Sorry, I know, that was a bit off topic, but it’s about as relevant as bringing up William Ayers. Just playing by your rules. You know, the rules of desperation.


Thank God, today, we have a strong generation of young soldiers who know exactly who they are and what they must do to protect our freedom and our democracy. And we have the leadership of Gen. David Petraeus, who has brought hope and stability to Iraq and prevented the terrorists from establishing a base in that country.


And thank God we have an older generation of men who didn’t fight in Vietnam, but now can’t get enough of this disastrous war in Iraq. When you were 29, in 1968, you were playing a gay hustler on the streets of New York while your fellow Americans gave up their lives for a cause you now champion. How surprising and unlike your other right wing brethren. You’re a fucking coward, Johnny. A big fucking coward.

I’m a bit confused by your claim that Petraeus “prevented terrorists from establishing a base” in Iraq. You’ll have to explain it to these 56 people. Oh wait, you can’t because they are dead. Terrorists killed them yesterday. That’s a shame; you really were on to something there. Do you know who was better at keeping terrorists from “establishing a base” in Iraq? Saddam Hussein. Yeah, I know, it’s crazy, but reading history books is not wrong. You should try it, because you’re looking like an ignorant tool.


If Mr. Obama had his way, he would have pulled our troops from Iraq years ago and initiated an unprecedented bloodbath, turning over that country to the barbarianism of our enemies.


And no. You don’t get to make shit up, just because you are an actor with a face that implicates you in a nightly vodka party. If Obama had his way, America would never have been in Iraq in the first place. Also, he voted to fund for the war over and over. So, you’re completely wrong. Shiite dominated Iraq is basically now ruled by Shiite dominated Iran. It’s a big, fat fail-fail. That’s what happens when you remove the Sunni dictator in a country full of Shiites. The only people who predicted this outcome were the ones who read books.

And it’s Senator Obama, you fucking douchebag. Show some respect to a man who has accomplished something you can’t even dream of. Your attempts to belittle him by not using his proper title only show your own pettiness.


With what he has openly stated about his plans for our military, and his lack of understanding about the true nature of our enemies, there's not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb.


Is that because he’s been pretty much right about all that military and foreign affairs stuff and McCain has been wrong? Also, please provide evidence that Iran is making “great strides” toward getting the atomic bomb. Then give us a quote from Obama in which he takes Iran having a nuclear weapon lightly. Oh, and also please explain why the Iraqi Prime Minister is wrong for wanting a timeline for our departure. You obviously know more than the Prime Minister of Iraq, actor boy.


And while a misleading portrait of Mr. Obama is being perpetrated by a media controlled by the Democrats,


Yeah, I didn’t even finish that sentence. The first half is so gloriously retarded that I find no reason to continue. Your alcohol-addled brain is living in opposite land. You know that show Sliders that was on the Sci-fi channel? I think you are trapped in another reality, one that is mostly filled by simpletons.


The Obama camp has sent out people to attack the greatness of Sen. John McCain, whose suffering and courage in a Hanoi prison camp is an American legend.

Gen. Wesley Clark, who himself has shame upon him, having been relieved of his command, has done their bidding and become a lying fool in his need to demean a fellow soldier and a true hero.


Okay, wait. I’m just trying to figure this out. The Obama people are wrong for talking shit about McCain’s “greatness” and in the next paragraph, you do the exact same thing and attack a retired General. Got it.


This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way.


Much like your brain, which lives in Lake Scotch.


Jon Voight is an Academy Award-winning actor who is well-known for his humanitarian work.


Don’t people have to know your humanitarian work for you to be “well-known for humanitarian work?” I know his daughter hates him, but that’s about it. And I now know that Voight doesn’t care about facts, he simply hears some blathering asshole yammering and he pretends it is true. Nothing he stated in this shocking display of reality disengagement is true. Nothing.

If Voight and his kind believe Obama is a Socialist, they might want to pick up a book about Socialism. If we are going to be so loose with our descriptions, I will now call Voight what he is: A Nazi. I know, it’s crazy, but we’re just pulling scary terms out of our assholes that are not at all applicable, which make Voight a Nazi. Bummer for him.

Asshole Fuckface Roundup #56

You lucky son of a bitch. You could have died this week, or been turned into a vegetable by doing to many whippits, or salvia. But you made it. God damn it, I am proud of you. And to show you just how proud I am, I'm making a list of the worst human beings on the planet. It’s called the Asshole Fuckface Roundup. So, strap on your plastic vest and kilt, because this is going to be ugly.

First up, the American press are the most embarrassing Asshole Fuckfaces on the planet.

McCain was back at it again this week. By "back at it," I mean he doesn't know what the fuck is going on. But this time his little fact switcharoo was aided by CBS News. Johnny was being interviewed by Katie Couric and this little moment transpired.


Couric: Senator McCain, Sen. Obama says, while the increased number of U.S. troops contributed to increased security in Iraq, he also credits the Sunni awakening and the Shiite government going after militias. And says that there might have been improved security even without the surge. What's your response to that?

McCain: I don't know how you respond to something that is such a false depiction of what actually happened. Colonel McFarlane (phonetic) was contacted by one of the major Sunni sheiks. Because of the surge we were able to go out and protect that sheik and others. And it began the Anbar awakening. I mean, that's just a matter of history.


It’s a “matter of history” in an opposite world. Let’s take a look at the actual history:


    2006 - The Anbar Awakening.

    2007 - The Surge.


So, that’s the opposite of what McCain said. The Bush Administration started paying off Sunni fighters who had been killing our soldiers in late 2006. The Surge began in the spring/summer of 2007. So, how did CBS handle this mistake? Drill him further? Nope, they just switched out McCain’s answer when the news aired, that way it looked like Johnny didn’t make a mistake at all.



Nice work, CBS. There really is no point having a free press with companies like you around.

Next up, some corporate Asshole Fuckfacery.

Monticello, Minnesota wanted to attract more peeps to their city and someone came up with a crazy idea: Build a fiber-optic network. The assumption was if they built the network people and business would follow. Seventy-four percent of the town’s residents voted for a bond measure to get it done. It all seemed a go.


The city sought the needed municipal bonds, but the day before it closed on them, the local telco filed suit to stop the plan. Its claim: taking out bonds to build a fiber network is illegal.


Wow. Spectacularly horrible. The Bridgewater Telephone Company needs to rename itself the Asshole Fuckface Telephone Company.


Bridgewater Telephone argues that the city cannot use tax-exempt bonds to "enter into direct competition with incumbent commercial providers of telephone, Internet, and cable television services."


And they just kind of made it up.


The statute in question says that cities can use bonds to fund nursing homes, garbage collection, parks, playgrounds, "homes for the aged," and more, including "any utility or other public convenience from which a revenue is or may be derived." If the judge finds that fiber-to-the-home is a "public convenience," the case seems to be over.


Hopefully the city will be reimbursed for this frivolous lawsuit and the company heads will have to register as Asshole Fuckfaces where ever they are.

Next up, a California Asshole Fuckface.

You may recognize Representative Duncan Hunter as a failed presidential candidate or because he is one of the all time great douchebags. Oh, and he likes to feed starving refugees. Yay!


Hunter's staff contacted the embassy in N'Djamena, Chad, last week to see whether Hunter could distribute food at a camp.


How awesome is that? Hunter wants to feed Darfur refugees and maybe bring some attention to the genocide thingy that is going on.


Hunter also wanted to put together an outing to hunt wildebeest and distribute the meat to refugees.


Um. Okay. That got weird really fast. Now, our embassy in Chad wasn’t sure what to do, because that is a batshit crazy idea and a logistical nightmare. So, they asked for the State Department’s help on how to deal with Hunter. Here’s what the State Department came up with:


· The embassy "welcomes Congressman Hunter's interest in food assistance to Darfur refugees in Chad. Given the significant" U.S. aid in the world program, the embassy "would encourage the congressman to time his visit to coincide with an already scheduled food distribution."

·The embassy will "make the necessary arrangements for" Hunter to watch a food distribution in a camp.

·"Regarding the Congressman's desire to hunt wildebeest and distribute the cured meat to refugees, wildebeest are not present in Chad."

·"The Government of Chad does not permit the hunting of large mammals."


Wow. The State Department is such a party bummer. Why can’t some dude kill an animal, cut up the meat, slog it over to a refugee camp and throw pieces of raw meat at starving refuges? Maybe because there no wildebeests there. (There are a few, but they are protected in a no-hunting refuge.)

Now, obviously, Duncan will go to the camp and observe the food distribution, right? Because that’s why he wanted to go to Africa.


He is now trying to arrange hunting expeditions in Kenya, Tanzania, and Southern Africa instead.


Oh. Someone should tell the Asshole Fuckface that wildebeests in Kenya and Tanzania are "under threat from poachers." And Asshole Fuckfaces.

Finally, I can always count on one Connecticut Asshole Fuckface to always be there for me.

This week Senator Joey Lieberman spoke at the Christians United for Israel Washington-Israel Summit. The summit is hosted by the wonderful pastor John Hagee. Hagee holds some super ideas about stuff; like that Hurricane Katrina was caused by a gay pride parade in New Orleans.

Lieberman obviously sees Hagee a bit differently than those of us with souls. Hagee was attacked by blogs for his horrible comments and Asshole Fuckface Joe believes that would put Hagee in some awesome company.


“Dear friends, I can only imagine what the bloggers of today would have had to say about Moses and Miriam.”


Right. Bloggers would fucking hate Moses, because saying gays caused Katrina and parting the Red Sea are very, very similar. Oh, and Moses might have been a bit different in this age of technology. Oh, and you're a moron.

Congrats to all of this week's Asshole Fuckfaces. You will each receive a FearTheReaper stress ball.

Filthy Rich Socialism

THURSDAY JULY 24 2008 6:00 AM

Submitted by FearTheReaper. Edited By FearTheReaper.

TAGS: Socialism, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Bear Sterns

Smell that? It's a giant pile of bullshit called the free market falling from the sky. Socialism is constantly warned against and the free market held up as a great God. The free market will solve all it's problems until the rich fuck up because of their routinely unpunished greed. Then we get what we are now witnessing: Socialism for the rich. Welcome to it. It's America.

Yesterday, Congress passed a bill to bail out our largest mortgage holders, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Turns out Freddie and Fannie sort of made a whole lot of shitty loans to people who couldn't afford them, and like any good capitalist, they asked for and received a kick ass amount of cash from Uncle Sam. All in a shitty days work. The people who run Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Bear Sterns are now the leading Socialists in our country. Hail their courage and prepare for those on their heels: Washington Mutual and Wachovia.


A federal rescue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could cost taxpayers $25 billion, congressional budget experts said Tuesday, as lawmakers put finishing touches on legislation that would tap the troubled mortgage giants' profits to help save homeowners from foreclosure.

The Congressional Budget Office has said that Fannie and Freddie stand a "better than 50% chance" of weathering the housing crisis without a government rescue but that the bailout could cost $25 billion.


And what are we, the American people, getting in return? Turns out nothing. Zip. Nada. Zilch. You know who does get something? Richard Syron. Who's he? He's the dude running Freddie Mac who is getting paid for doing an awesome job.


Freddie Mac Chairman and Chief Executive Richard Syron pocketed nearly $19.8 million in compensation last year, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Friday, even though the mortgage company's stock lost half its value in 2007.

If Syron stays at the helm of Freddie Mac through the end of next year, he will receive nearly $20 million in stock awards if the board says he has met certain goals. This year, he is guaranteed to get $8.8 million in stock grants regardless of performance.


Fannie Mae's chief executive and president, Daniel Mudd, last year received total compensation valued at $12.2 million, including a $2.2-million bonus.


It's hard being total losers and they should be compensated. Look, when companies give their CEOs shitloads of cash, that's their problem. Stockholders need to rise up and take care of it. It's their house and they need to clean it. But when a corporation turns into such a giant pile of shit that they need the government to save their ass, it's a different story. Syron shouldn't make a dollar more than the highest paid civil servant, because that's what he became today. Actually, Syron and Dodd shouldn't have a job. They should be fired and forced to return their massive 2007 salaries. All management of these two companies should be fired.

And we should be getting a sweet piece of both those companies. That's normally what happens when one gives a corporation an enormous amount of cash. The government should receive a percentage of stock and then compensation when Freddie and Fannie start making money again. Why the fuck should we give these financial idiots money if we aren't going to see a return? Or we should let them fail.

This is pretty simple; a bunch of rich assholes made bad decisions and took on risky mortgages and now taxpayers are bailing them out. It's called not punishing someone for doing something wrong. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are basically Paris Hilton at this point. I understand the need to bail them out. I don't understand not taking anything in return -- or punishing the guilty parties.


What's going on here is that we're in uncharted territory, a world where the Fed and the Treasury are making up the rules as they go along, where accountability is being ignored and a world where the government bails out Bear Stearns and its creditors rather than letting those who have been reckless learn a lesson for the next time


They did just learn a lesson: Do whatever you want, it's all good.

Of course, the right wing machine is going into overdrive, explaining that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are the product of too much regulation. They just conveniently leave out Bear Sterns massive bailout. So, when you hear some right wing asshole claiming the reason for Freddie Mac and Fannie May's problems are regulation, just use two words: Bear Sterns. Free market, my ass.

Jimmy Fucking Carter

TUESDAY JULY 22 2008 6:00 AM

Submitted by FearTheReaper. Edited By FearTheReaper.

TAGS: Gas crisis, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan

Now that we are in the middle of an energy disaster brought on by years of idiotic energy policy that were begun under the Grand Retard, Ronald Reagan, let’s take a look at what Jimmy Carter wanted to do. We didn’t do much of it, because Carter told Americans the truth and we cried like fucking babies and continued to shit our pants. If we had listened to Carter, we’d be toilet trained by now. Instead, we are living in the most horribly shit-in diapers of all time. And it’s pretty much all the fault of the right wing.

Carter delivered an energy speech on July 15, 1979. At the time, things were not looking good. The U.S. was being hit by record high energy prices, severe energy shortages, and a recession. (Sound familiar?) People were pissed at Carter, causing his approval ratings to plummet to Bush-like depths. Imagine that. A president as unpopular as Bush. So, Carter gave a speech, during which he asked the American people to adapt to the energy crisis, its limits and to change our ways.

Carter said, "Human identity is no longer defined by what one does but by what one owns." He was right, of course. But Carter didn’t have the ability to convince his fellow lawmakers to make the tough choices. He was labeled a “pessimist.” Naturally, for every pessimist, there is an optimist. In this case, it was Ronald Reagan. Reagan blew hot wind up America’s ass and we went right back to our destructive ways. Reagan was a pretty fucking stupid human being. As matter of fact, he was shockingly stupid. Had we listened to Carter and accepted a bit of personal responsibility, we might not be driving rapidly toward a cliff today.

The problems Carter identified in his speech were our dependence on oil and the connection among consumption, energy use, and environmental change. Sound familiar?

Here are some highlights from Jimmy Carter’s “Crisis of Confidence” Speech.


CARTER: Point one: I am tonight setting a clear goal for the energy policy of the United States. Beginning this moment, this nation will never use more foreign oil than we did in 1977 -- never...


And no. Not only will we, but we’ll use more and more and more. Jimmy didn’t really foresee the right wing jerk off transportation vessel called The Hummer and the murder of alternative energy.


Point two: To ensure that we meet these targets, I will use my presidential authority to set import quotas...


Good luck with that.


Point three: To give us energy security, I am asking for the most massive peacetime commitment of funds and resources in our nation's history to develop America's own alternative sources of fuel...

I will soon submit legislation to Congress calling for the creation of this nation's first solar bank, which will help us achieve the crucial goal of 20 percent of our energy coming from solar power by the year 2000.

These efforts will cost money, a lot of money, and that is why Congress must enact the windfall profits tax without delay...


Could you imagine if we had the intelligence to follow through with this? Twenty-percent solar? We’d be a tad better off. Carter was saying we needed the largest “peacetime commitment of funds” because our path would obviously lead to wars. And it has. And it will lead to more, and eventually a world war.


Point four: I'm asking Congress to mandate, to require as a matter of law, that our nation's utility companies cut their massive use of oil by 50 percent within the next decade and switch to other fuels, especially coal, our most abundant energy source...


Uh. Okay. Not so great. Coal’s a bit of a bummer. But it is preferable to being controlled by OPEC and having to take over countries like Iraq and Afghanistan in order to keep our gluttonous habits going. Carter was actually successful with this one. He reduced the percentage of oil used in our electricity production from 20% to 3%. He also expanded the Clean Air Act to combat the effects of coal power generation.


Point five: To make absolutely certain that nothing stands in the way of achieving these goals, I will urge Congress to create an energy mobilization board which, like the War Production Board in World War II, will have the responsibility and authority to cut through the red tape, the delays, and the endless roadblocks to completing key energy projects.

We will protect our environment. But when this Nation critically needs a refinery or a pipeline, we will build it.


Anyone want to guess when the last refinery was built in the U.S.? Try 32 years. That's the free market kicking ass and taking numbers. Although, South Dakota is now threatening to build one. That would be 1 in 32 years.


Point six: I'm proposing a bold conservation program to involve every state, county, and city and every average American in our energy battle. This effort will permit you to build conservation into your homes and your lives at a cost you can afford.


No fucking shit. This is the point where I want to dig up guys like Reagan, just to shit on their head. Personal fucking responsibility is the great enemy of right-wingers. Reagan killed all the tax credits that would have allowed people to "build conservation into their homes."


To further conserve energy, I'm proposing tonight an extra $10 billion over the next decade to strengthen our public transportation systems...


Whoa! Public transportation! Now close your eyes and imagine every city with a working subway system, or rail line. Mmmm. Carter. Jimmy also pushed for fuel economy standards in cars to reduce oil consumption. Republicans fought back. And they created tax rebates for giant SUVs and Hummers.


Our nation must be fair to the poorest among us, so we will increase aid to needy Americans to cope with rising energy prices. We often think of conservation only in terms of sacrifice. In fact, it is the most painless and immediate way of rebuilding our nation's strength. Every gallon of oil each one of us saves is a new form of production. It gives us more freedom, more confidence, that much more control over our own lives...


No shit. But that’s not the Republican way. The Republican way is to get more money into the pockets of oil companies. Every step outlined above takes money away from the oil boys. So, when Reagan took over, he slowly eliminated anything that would have led us away from a path of energy independence.

Instead of confronting the problem head on, Reagan chose to mock Carter. He went after the president, claiming he blamed the American people for the energy crisis – because Carter had the gall to ask Americans to sacrifice and conserve. It was, quite simply, a moron vs. a thinking man.


[President Carter] has blamed the people for inflation, OPEC, he has blamed the Federal Reserve system, he has blamed the lack of productivity of the American people, he has then accused the people of living too well and that we must share in scarcity, we must sacrifice and get used to doing with less.


I'm not so sure that it means steadily higher fuel costs, but I do believe that this nation has been portrayed for too long a time to the people as being energy-poor when it is energy-rich. . . I just happen to believe that free enterprise can do a better job of producing the things that people need than government can.


And that has been the right wing stance ever since. Conservatives have no ability to comprehend complex answers to the energy challenges we face. It’s like trying to talk to a cat about math. So, when you hear a Republican telling us how we should drill off the coast of our country, please urinate on their face. Because drilling was their answer to the crisis in the '70s and we did it. It has not helped. No one should ever listen to a Republican when it comes to energy. There is only one answer: Invest in alternative energy now.

If a right wing asshole attempts to open his pork rind hole, tell him the story of the solar panels on the White House. Jimmy Carter had them installed during his presidency. Reagan then had them torn down. He also killed off tax cuts for solar power and gutted our solar research program. How’d that work out? Oh, I can tell you. Two of the solar researchers he fired went on the win Nobel prizes – in other fields. Because he was a Class A fucking idiot.


"Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do."
- Ronald “retard” Reagan, 1981.

Asshole Fuckface Roundup #55

SATURDAY JULY 19 2008 6:00 AM

Submitted by FearTheReaper. Edited By erin_broadley.

TAGS: Republicans, Gas Crisis, South Carolina, Dubai,

Wow. Here we are. Who knew we would make it another week and enjoy the horrors of the Asshole Fuckface Roundup together? Sadly, I had much to choose from this week. Some of the Fuckfaces only received a second place nod on my blog. I gathered the rest together so that your eyes may feast on the depths of mankind. And here they are. I’ve scoured the news for the worst people on Earth, so that you may feel better about yourself by looking down on them. So, put on a giant plastic lampshade because this is going to be horrible.

First up, Dubai shows us their Asshole Fuckface skills.

Dubai has gotten a bit of a reputation as a place where the rich go to play. That is all well and good, as long as they aren’t gay. This week Dubai “cracked down” on gay people.


Police in the Gulf tourist hub of Dubai say they've detained 17 foreign men for allegedly being gay and wearing women's clothing in malls and other public places.


Thank God you Asshole Fuckfaces cracked down on the terrible crime of men wearing women’s clothing, while you walk around in white moo moos. A Dubai paper claimed 40 were arrested. Nobody can explain the difference in the numbers.


The paper quotes Dubai's police chief as saying the arrests are part of a campaign against "transvestites."

Despite Dubai's Western outlook, homosexuality is illegal in the Muslim city-state.


Right. That and they arrest people for having less than a grain of salt worth of pot on the sole of their shoe. Here’s a tip: Don’t visit Dubai. Ever.

Next up, our gay hating Asshole Fuckfaces.

South Carolina doesn’t like being called gay. Not at all. A lot of Asshole Fuckfaces in the state are upset with a London Tube ad that claims, "South Carolina is so gay."



The ad was created by a London gay tour operator to encourage tourism to “gay-friendly” areas. I guess that didn’t work out so well.

Republican State Senator David Thomas lost his straight shit.


"South Carolinians will be irate when they learn their hard-earned tax dollars are being spent to advertise our state as 'so gay.'"


Right. And it will cause gay confusion.


They'll get off the plane and say, 'Where are the gay beaches?' and no one will know what they are talking about.


Dude, beaches don’t have a sexual preference. Just a tip. Also, you are a horribly uptight, straight man who is scared of gay people. How much do you want to bet there are “gay beaches” all over the place and no one told you?


Andrew Roberts, CEO of Amro Worldwide, visited South Carolina after the state's tourism board expressed interest in the campaign, and says he toured several gay venues, including largely gay sections of mainstream beaches, in Charleston, Hilton Head Island and Myrtle Beach. "A few people in South Carolina need to wake up to what's going on in their state," he says. "There are more gay bars along that coastal strip than there are in Vegas."


Uh oh. Them’s fightin’ words. Did you just call my beach “gay?” Huh? I’ll kick your ass.

The posters also advertised the gay-friendly cities Atlanta, Boston, Las Vegas, New Orleans and Washington, D.C. No one gave a shit in those cities. But South Carolina refused to pay the $5,000 advertising fee, asked that the posters be removed, and a state employee was forced to resign. Good work.

Next up, an Asshole Fuckface needs to stop the party.

Meet Robert Hood, of Caldwell, Texas. He’s 44-years-old and he is just getting the party started. Holy shit is he getting the party started.

Hood was arrested for a DUI on Sunday in Omaha, Nebraska, July 4 in Mitchell, South Dakota, July 7 in Deadwood, South Dakota, and on July 8 in Platte County, Wyoming. I am very impressed by anyone who is arrested two days in a row in two different states for DUI. It’s time for Bobby to get a bumper sticker that says, “Can’t Stop The Party.”

Ready for the good news?


Robert Hood, of Caldwell, Texas, was released after posting $200, or 10 percent of the $2,000 bail, Otoe County Jail officials said.


The system works! Seriously, though, a real life Ronnie Dobbs is out there, people. Stay low.

Next up, some Asshole Fuckface parents have no boundaries.

Stephanie Martinez was working as a clerk at Pizza Patron in Denton, Texas last weekend. Suddenly, a robber burst in, wearing a wig and sunglasses and said, “Give me the money!” Stephanie began emptying out her register, when the other clerk went Charles Bronson on his ass.


And then [the other clerk] hit him and knocked him out and knocked off his wig and I dropped the money. I said, ‘Don’t hit him again! That’s my dad!’


Uh. I’m sorry, what did you say? Turns out the entire family is chock full O’ Asshole Fuckfaces. The wife was also arrested. Oh, and Stephanie sort of knew what was going on.


Sgt. James Brett said Martinez's husband told them she didn't know about the robbery. He said she knew they were going to rob someplace but she thought it was going to be a convenience store.


Oh, that’s cool. Seriously, no worries. As long as she didn’t know it was specifically going to be the pizza place she works at, we’re cool. She sounds like a great woman and nothing like her father.


Martinez said she is concerned her mother may be deported.


I’m not.

Stephanie isn’t very close with her father, mostly because of the jail thing.


Martinez called her father a career criminal and said she has written him off.

"He's always been in jail. It's the same thing to me," she said.


Really? Well, he just tried to reach out to you; maybe you should give him a chance. Stephanie’s mom, dad and husband were all arrested. Stephanie is free to breed and keep this genetic marvel going.

And, finally, the many Asshole Fuckfaces of the Republican Party.

You know you have taken the wrong position when you have to blatantly lie to get people on your side. The current ridiculous talking point of the right wing is that “not a drop of oil was spilled” during Hurricane Katrina.



It’s obviously a talking point, because they are all saying the exact same line. All of the Asshole Fuckfaces were allowed to repeat a lie on a major news channel without a reporter questioning the validity of their statement. They appeared on CNN, CNN Headline News, Fox Business Network, Fox News, and MSNBC.

Here’s the truth, and I included a pretty picture.



Due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita, there were 124 offshore oil spills that released a total of 743,700 gallons of oil. The largest single spill was 152,250 gallons, which is considered to be a “major spill.” Onshore, there were 595 oil spills. Altogether, 9 million gallons were spilled. Just to compare, the Exxon Valdez spilled 10.8 million gallons.


The quantity and cumulative magnitude of the 595 spills, which were spread across four states and struck offshore and inland, rank these two hurricanes among the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. Some have even compared the total amount of oil released — estimated at 9 million gallons — to the tragedy of Exxon Valdez.


Nine million gallons or not a drop. Easy mistake to make. Finally, yesterday, one of the only decent journalists in America (who Hillary Clinton tried to get fired) questioned the bullshit talking point.



Jesus. She just lied again to cover for her lie. Spills and seeps cannot be compared.


The key difference has to do with release rates and spatial concentration of the oil. Seeps release large amounts of oil over large areas of the ocean gradually throughout the year. Spills release large amounts of oil from a point source in a short time.



This is going to be a long summer of Asshole Fuckfacery.

Congrats to all of this week's Asshole Fuckfaces. You each win a FearTheReaper leather helmet.
