America's new favorite political daughters

It's Jon Huntsman's daughters, aka the "Jon2012 Girls."




Now that's pretty funny.
Maybe not funny by, say, Adult Swim standards, but by political campaign ad standards, that's pretty funny.

And while we're on the subject,
what is it with the political daughters lately?
Huntsman's daughters are only the latest in a series of glam-girl DC daughters.

Before them there were the Brown girls:


John Kerry's daughter, Alexandra:

























Meghan McCain:


and even Fred Thompson's little girl:



I'm sorry, what? His wife? Really?

 

Buh-uh-uh-uh-uh!!!!

Bad Ads -- McRib

I've never tried the McRib sandwich, but since it's sold under the golden arches, I have to assume there's a good chance that it's pretty terrible. But that's not really the point. The point is this idiotic ad:



I'm not an expert in the field of marketing, but I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea to ridicule the person who loves your product.

Also, as a former 14-year-old, I can say that the behavior exhibited by this man is oretty much the opposite of a 14-year-old. No 14year old boy is going to worry about missing out on a sandwich when he is about to embark on a week of crazy newlywed sexy fun times. This man is considering choosing what i assume he considers "sustenance" over the fleeting joy of a seven-day six-night intercourse-a-thon. That is remarkably mature, although the fact that he has just married the most annoying woman in the world may have contributed to the decision-making process.

At any rate, what aspect of this commercial is supposed to make people want to purchase a McRib? Because I seem to have missed that part.

Time to Build a Guillotine in New York

via NYT:

On Friday, the law firm of Steven J. Baum threw a Halloween party. The firm, which is located near Buffalo, is what is commonly referred to as a “foreclosure mill” firm, meaning it represents banks and mortgage servicers as they attempt to foreclose on homeowners and evict them from their homes. Steven J. Baum is, in fact, the largest such firm in New York; it represents virtually all the giant mortgage lenders, including Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo. 

 In other words, they are literally the devil's advocates.

 

Fuck that, even I wouldn't get in bed with B of A!

. . . a former employee of Steven J. Baum recently sent me snapshots of last year’s party. In an e-mail, she said that she wanted me to see them because they showed an appalling lack of compassion toward the homeowners — invariably poor and down on their luck — that the Baum firm had brought foreclosure proceedings against. 

two Baum employees are dressed like homeless people. One is holding a bottle of liquor. The other has a sign around her neck that reads: “3rd party squatter. I lost my home and I was never served.” My source said that “I was never served” is meant to mock “the typical excuse” of the homeowner trying to evade a foreclosure proceeding.




A corner of the Baum office was decorated to look like a row of foreclosed homes.

When I called a press spokesman for Steven J. Baum to ask about the photographs, he sent me a statement a few hours later. “It has been suggested that some employees dress in ... attire that mocks or attempts to belittle the plight of those who have lost their homes,” the statement read. “Nothing could be further from the truth.” It described this column as “another attempt by The New York Times to attack our firm and our work.” 

Oh, hey Steven J. Baum, it may look like this machine is designed to separate you from your head, but nothing could be further from the truth.

 

Step right up, fucker!

Racist Asshole Throws his Hood into the Ring

This is Grady warren, the next president of the United States




And he has a plan to deal with illegal immigration. Yes of course it's based on the Third Reich's "Final Solution," what else would you expect?




I don't know anything about this guy, maybe it's a weird joke, a performance art piece, whatever, but so is Herman Cain, and he's 10 points ahead of Romney!
But don't worry, he's not a racist. In fact, he's sick of you Nigras callin' him a racist. And he's not too crazy 'bout them Hispanics either. And it's totally not racist to say that the government doesn't work 'cuz there's too many blacks in there?
And is it racist to ask about the billions of dollars in reparations paid to "the blacks?" No, it's mainly just insane to believe that reparations have been paid.

This guy has to be a comedian. This has to be a joke, right?

Or maybe just a scam to sell idiotic T-shirts?







By the way, that flag has only 49 stars.






I'm not sure that one even makes sense.
