My comment re: the blackout during the third quarter of the Super Bowl yesterday was: “Looks like Bobby Jindal forgot to pay the light bill.” (Apologies to whoever penned the Syngman Rhee line in M*A*S*H from which that was bastardized.)
Other people went with a different theme:
Who is Todd Kincannon? Barbara Bush’s cross-gender Mini-Me? No…
No one will be surprised that Todd Kincannon, former Southern Carolina Republican Party chairman is tweeting racist nonsense. It’s just that this racist nonsense is, even by conservative standards, pretty blatant and ugly.
What you may not know about Todd Kincannon, however, is that he’s been on a tear over Twitter’s policy of suspending abusive users. I wrote about it back in December, when I noted that he was abusing their algorithms to get people suspended on the left who he didn’t care for. Of course, reality was something else entirely, because the algorithm didn’t pay much attention to whether someone was liberal or conservative, and so people on all sides of the debate were suspended.
Since then, Kincannon has switched to claiming that liberals intentionally try to silence conservatives online by using the “Gulag” to silence them.
Maybe Todd should team up with the radphlegms…
for, apparently, those who slime together shall whine together.

Yes – but if you strike me down; I shall become more powerful than you can imagine!
Whatever doesn’t kill me makes me stronger?
I’m Batman?
Never eat oysters in a month ending in an “R”?
That sound you hear is all of the residents of Radphlegm Dorm, chowing down at their diner…
on a main course of charbroiled static.
The signal to noise ratio is strong in this one.
In the others? Not so much.
And one radphlegm in particular works diligently in-between her blogging hate on umpteen blogs to ensure that the payday loan companies get to chow down on their dinner of “the Poors.” A hero in her own mind.
Suze Orman’s advice to someone selling usurious financial products:
Suze: Mike, here’s what I learned after all the years, and it’s been thirty years now really that I’ve been doing this, is this: that it’s better to do what’s right than to do what’s easy. And I understand that you need a paycheck. I understand that in this economy what are you gonna do? But if you make money off of telling people to do something that in the long run hurts them, that will only come back to bite you in ways that are far beyond what money can buy and what money can do for you. That’s why I have never in my career made a move with somebody else’s money that was good for me before it was good for them. Thanks, Mike, so I did just want to protect you, but honest to God, it makes no sense.
- Hey – but if in your heart of hearts – you’re a secret radical punk – what you actually do to poor people doesn’t matter.
