The recount in the Minnesota Senate race between asshole comedian Al Franken and regular asshole Norm Coleman is underway! And the campaigns have lawyers standing by to challenge every vote. So Drudge has had this image up all day, with the headline "DRAMA: Franken Is Challenging This Ballot." Yes, bullshit, obviously. The voter intent is clear. On the other hand, the Coleman campaign is challenging this ballot, this ballot, and this ballot. The whole recount system is obviously broken, the well-intentioned voter intent laws are being manipulated by the campaigns, and this nonsense will not be over with by the end of the year. Or, you know, Al Franken is stealing the election, whichever one you want to believe. [MPR via Wonkette]

Ted Nugent Ready For A Nice Enemy Purge [Broken Records]
Posted: November 13th, 2008, 9:47am CST by Hamilton Nolan
Tags: broken records
Oh hmm interesting, long-ago rock person Ted Nugent is talking once again about some mixture of guns and Republicanism. You've found your niche, Ted! He thinks the problem with the Republican party is all the sellouts "compromising values and cutting deals with the socialist prankster punksters." "My specialty is making Fedzilla punks squirm and turn into a puddle of sweat and drool," adds Ted. A funny occurrence would be if a prominent socialist prankster punkster NObama supporter such as former Steelers running back Jerome Bettis were to punch Ted Nugent until he, ironically, was drooling upon himself.

Americans Baffled by Mysterious "Canada" [Broken Borders]
Posted: August 6th, 2008, 1:22pm CDT by Pareene
Tags: broken borders
Canadians. Just last week we learned that they are stealing our jobs, brownstones, and potential mates. But this is apparently all we know about them, if two recent news items are to be believed. First, a "comedian" on a "comedy" television show was forbidden by producers from making jokes about Canada or even mentioning that strange nation. Because to announce his Canadianness would confuse viewers. "Why does he speak American, then? He looks so American!" And then maybe they'd Google Canada and learn of its cheap beer and free health care and we'd have a crisis on our hands. No, it's best to keep Americans in the dark about "Canada." Even if it leads to embarrassing diplomatic incidents like the instructional handbook given to George W. Bush and his staff before a state visit to Canada in 2004. DID YOU KNOW: "Canadians, for the most part, place importance on education, skill, modesty and politeness." Canadians—they're nothing like us! More important advice for dealing with Bonnie Fuller below.. "On being introduced, the customary greetings are: firm handshake, customary 'Hello,' or 'Bonjour' in Quebec."
. "During conversation, remove sunglasses."
. "While indoors, remove hats."
The document states that "most Canadian gestures are the same as those used in the United States," but adds there are some exceptions, including:
. "To call someone to you, use the entire hand rather than the index finger."
. "In Quebec, the thumbs down sign is considered offensive."
We've never heard of this thumbs thing though to be fair everything is considered offensive to French Canadians. If your people combined the worst stereotypes of the arrogant French with the defensive and funny-talking Canadians you'd be touchy too.

Canadian Menace Washes Up in Park Slope [Broken Borders]

Tags: broken borders
2,000 words on "Canadians who live in New York—sure, that's a trend" and yet the name "Sklar" does not appear once. You guys didn't do your homework. Still, we learned lots of other terrifying things about these foreigners and what they want from us: our jobs! Canadians, you see, are a mysterious and dangerous race of attractive young superbeings!Canadian New Yorkers are generally in their 20s to 40s. They are more highly skilled and wealthier than the general population in the U.S. — and in Canada. As Mahmood Iqbal noted in a report for the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies, these emigrants "are the best and brightest of the Canadian human resource pool."
Of course they all need to marry Americans so they can quit their terrible jobs as bankers and become bloggers without running into visa problems. So watch out! They're on the prowl, after your job and your sons and daughters!

Film Promises to Jerk Jerk's Tears [Lou Dobbs]
Posted: March 27th, 2008, 2:58pm CDT by Pareene
Tags: broken borders
Under the Same Moon is, we're told, "a heart-warming tale of a Mexican immigrant mom working as a domestic in Los Angeles, and her Mexico-residing son from whom she's separated." It will open in limited release in April, and apparently the attached commercial for it is airing today on CNN. CNN specifically because the three review quotes pulled for the trailer all claim the film would have a profound emotional effect on Lou Dobbs, the noted Xenophobic scumbag. Of course, a cute Mexican kid would not actually have any effect on Lou Dobbs whatsoever. He would only cry if you took away his millions of dollars, or possibly his daughter's pony. Trailer below.

Geraldo Trashes Lou Dobbs on 'The View' [Broken Borders]
Posted: March 3rd, 2008, 12:02pm CST by Pareene
Tags: broken borders
Mustachioed embarrassment to the profession of journalism Geraldo Rivera appeared on The View today, where he castigated fellow blowhard Lou Dobbs for the sorts of things we have regularly attacked him for, but it was Geraldo saying it so we all felt a bit silly. Of course, Geraldo works for noted reasoned advocates of humane, sensible immigration reform Fox News, so this is really just another salvo in the tiresome Fox News vs. CNN (and sometimes NBC) battle. The clip is attached below.

She may have to join her sister in the plastic surgeon’s office, but Jessica Simpson is hoping that her injured schnoz will heal completely and go “back to normal.”
The former Newlywed knocked her nose with a large gun about two weeks ago, and it’s still not healed yet. She told press, “It’s still all bruised and swollen. The magic of make-up is doing wonders. Hopefully, when the swelling goes down, my nose will go back to normal.”

Jessica Simpson had a recent scare while filming her next flick, Major Movie Star, in which she plays a Hollywood actress who joins the Army (this is not a new reality TV show).
While filming some of the action sequences, Jessica broke her nose after accidentally hitting herself in the face with a gun. “I was running with a gun over my head and fell over and broke my nose, it really hurt!”
