Dictionary: Lemon socialism →
“Lemon socialism is a term for the practice in supposedly free market capitalist economies in which the government steps in to bailout or otherwise subsidize weak or failing firms. A government attempting to transition from capitalism to socialism by this method takes control of the worst industries — the “lemons” — first, which undermines such an approach.

“Here’s something one hopes the Obama administration has learned from the past couple of days: You need to expect that motherfuckers will fuck their mothers. It’s just what motherfuckers do. They fuck their mothers. It’s right there in the word. If you put John Boehner’s mother in front of him, he will fuck her. Because he is a motherfucker. It’s what he knows....

“The generation that sat in lines for gasoline at the pump in their 20s and 30s was the same that produced and consumed SUVs and pickup trucks as consumer vehicles to be used in daily commutes. The generation that was drafted into a ludicrous war in Vietnam that exemplified everything that was wrong with American military policy was the same that dropped our men and women into Iraq,...

“We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody. We cannot base our information on something mystical. It is something that has to be proved scientifically, that a human being turned into a goat.”

“What we’re gonna see for the next few months is a prolonged hissy fit, with Republicans throwing themselves on the floor of the supermarket and rolling around and crying until they get that fuckin’ box of cookies they want. Democrats and the Obama administration need to be the firm parent, the one who yanks those little bastards out of the store and say, “You know what? No...

“A clinic nurse first removed her intrauterine birth-control device without permission, says the patient in a federal action, then told her that “having the IUD come out was a good thing,” because “I personally do not like IUDs.

Young Conservatives Make Me Sad →
They have names like “S.E. Cupp” or “Hampton Williams” or “Tucker Carlson” or “Grover Norquist”, which sound like they were generated by some weird web WASP name generator. Bow-tie porn names.
