RIP Alberto Gonzalez

By historical precedents, the Bush administration is probably only approaching a “slightly elevated” level of second-term scandal related resignations.

RIP Karl Rove

Dear Karl. We wish you the best of luck and hope you enjoy phenomenal success on the conservative lecture circuit prior to accepting those numerous lucrative board appointments. We ask only that when you occasionally pop into Texas to see your estranged family, please tell them we said hello. In the meantime, let’s not forget that just because you’ve resigned doesn’t mean you’re now immune to prosecution. We’re holding out hope for you yet.

I Did Not Come From No Frickin’ Monkey!

Oh. Wait. Shit. Ummmm….yeah you did.

[UPDATE 3-30-09]: And it just keeps on happening.

Bottled Water = Bullshit

We love this: Further proof (as if we should need it), that bottled water is an elegantly concocted scam:

Now, you might be saying “Hey, Fiji water tastes amazing!” We tend to agree, but for that, we can refer you to an old post which enumerates the environmental costs of that sense of amazement.
