Steven M. thinks that the lamers have won.

And here I thought the Citadel was a college in South Carolina.

And the Commander Guy is handing out the Golden Wingnut Awards.

I remember the first funeral I attended.

I was in the tenth grade; one of my classmates, a good friend, had been out driving his new (to him) car. He had run off the road at a bad curve, known locally as “Dead Man’s Curve,” and died from his injuries before he was discovered hours later.

At his funeral, while standing outside the funeral home (the same one where my brother and I made the arrangements for my mother), I heard one grown-up saying to another, “He was just like all the rest of these kids . . . .”

They did not notice that one of the rest of those kids was standing right next to them.

They were heartless, self-centered jerks, bigoted and wrong, sanctimonious and rude, all at the same time.

Same like Mike Huckabee.

Mean for the sake of mean–it’s a Republican thing.

Little Ricky is back in action:

President-unelect Rick Santorum made his triumphant return to the Capitol this week and took up a brave new cause: opposing disabled people.

Specifically, Santorum, joined by Sen. Mike Lee (R., Utah), urged the Senate to reject the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities – a treaty negotiated during George W. Bush’s administration and ratified by 126 nations, including China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, and Syria.

The former presidential candidate pronounced “grave concerns” about the treaty, which forbids discrimination against people who have AIDS, are blind, use wheelchairs, and the like. “This is a direct assault on us,” he declared.

It makes sense only in the warped world of winguttery.

Frank Cerabino has a suggestion:

Thousands of Floridians have gotten the idea that seceding from the United States is the proper reaction to the presidential election. This is good news for me – especially if these foes of tyranny put their rugged individualism into actual action by not using Interstate 95. My commute will be much easier when I don’t have to share the federal highway with freeloading secessionists.

Rachel Maddow wonders whether the Republican Party is jettisoning its crazies. The relevant part starts about at about the 4:26 mark, following a summary of the big stories of the week.

Jettisoning?

Nah. Just putting them back on the shelf for a while.

Rachel Maddow explores John McCain’s and Republicans’ efforts to gin up a scandal over Benghazi:

Georgians can relax. The degree of public insanity will remain unchanged.

U.S. Rep. Allen West continues to hold out hope that he can prevail with a recount in his coastal Florida race. But the Republican firebrand has ruled out a return to Georgia should he need to restart his political career.
