A modest proposal: a mandatory minimum of 5 years in the federal pen, including FEMA camps with vegetable and fruit picking chain gangs, and a 200% tax on all wages paid by anyone employing an undocumented immigrant. Let’s see who is really ripping off the country.
The Chamber of Commerce types like having undocumented immigrants around to do a lot of work cheap, off the books. Then you have the fundigelical teaturd xenophobes who hates them something about their brownish skins. They cannot dwell in the same tent for long without fisticuffs ensuing.

Jim-Bob tried to exscape when they said we all had to have the Obamacare, but his hoverround ran out of juice in the sporting goods aisle so they handed him over for them ISIS fellows to watch. Now if he don’t switch to MUSLIN, they gonna chop his head clean oft!!! Can’t believe this all happened, what with all the guns we stockpiled to keep the feds at bay. Them guns did’nt help us at all! We musta been total fucking idiots, but now here I am digressalating.
If you are reading this, say a prayer for me, Billy Bob . . . writing from . . . the future.

June 23, 2015, will go down as the day America’s corporate overlords realized products bearing the symbol of the Confederate battle flag are not cool. I was on vacation on California’s central coast when the flags quietly seceded from poles and license plates and Amazon from sea to shining sea. The problem is, I had promised friends that we could burn one of them dumb flags at my house on Fourth of July. So, although it was encouraging to see all these folks noticing for the first time that the Confederate flag is somehow seen, by some, as something other than a mere reminder of the rich heritage of the South, and wingnut Republican elected officials coming to Jesus on the subject of the traitor flag, it left me high and dry.

As stupid as they are, most Confederate memorials strike a solemn, stately tone, incorporating elements of classical Greek sculpture to honor historical figures and capture the magnitude of human loss during the Civil War. All but one.
In a timely manner, Americans have formed a consensus that the war banner of loser secessionist is a hideous symbol of slavery, and we are – in 2015 – suddenly exceptional enough that we don’t need public artistic celebrations of those who tried to destroy the Union in the name of human chattel. The South has a lot of things to be proud of: music, tasty food, beautiful native flora….its population’s failed attempt to form The Confederate States of America is not one of them, and so does not deserve to be memorialized in our nation’s parks and pedestrian walkways. With one exception.
Poignantly located next to a barren strip of land by I-65 in Nashville, there is a statue – a massive, 25-foot fiberglass statue – surrounded by 13 Confederate state battle flags. It is the Nathan Bedford Forrest monument, the most alarming looking statue I’ve ever seen in my life, including statues of cartoon characters located inside cartoon shows.
Just look at this fucking thing:
That’s supposed to be a human being.
There are, apparently, more statues of Nathan Bedford Forrest in Tennessee than there are statues of George Washington in Virginia, or of Abraham Lincoln in Illinois, or of any other person in any other state. This just happens to be the greatest one. Despite a reputation for having singled out black Union soldiers for slaughter following their surrender and the subsequent lynchings, Forrest has been immortalized in statues across the South. His name has been lent to public institutions, including Nathan B. Forrest High in Jacksonville, Florida, all the way up until November of 2013.. Oh, The South, you big goofs, with your sleeveless shirts and junky cars and small brains.
Are the gas masks because St. Louis has chemical weapons? Because they certainly are not effective at combating chemtrails.
I mean, it doesn’t really help that so many military guys straight from combat are signing up for police work after their tours are over. You’re in America now. Stop directing traffic like you’re still in Iraq.
