"Maria as a cult leader: Maria, what are you afraid of?

Maria as herself: Bears.

Maria as a cult leader: Maria, WHAT are you afraid of?

Maria as herself: The Great American Grizzly.

Maria as a cult leader: MARIA, WHAT are you afriad of?

Maria as herself: getting choked up I'm afraid of getting sucking into a crazy, creepy cult. WHY? Why am I afraid of that?"

First they came for the lions, and I did not speak out—because I was not a lion;

Then they came for the tigers, and I did not speak out—because I was not a tiger;

Then they came for the bears, and I did not speak out—because I was not a bear;

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out.; 1/22/10, 2:04 PM

Spokesman for the White House announced today that "White House Says Bears Part of Blame for Senate Loss." The sex scandal that burst into view when Gentle Ben was campaigning for Martha Coakley and was caught in an internet sex video getting a "Cleveland Steamer" from Madonna.

Trooper York said...: New York Times January 22, 2010:
In an amazing coincidence, the final nail was driven into the Senate campaign of Democratic Candidate Martha Coakley due to a terrible auto accident that occurred on the bridge to Chappaquiddick the weekend before the special election. The candidate was driving some supporters home and was about to drop her last passenger a Mr.Winnie T. Poo off at his motel when she veered off the bridge and ran her Pruis into the tidal basin. After repeated attempts to dive down to the car to rescue Mr. Poo, the Senate Candidate realized that it was hopeless and adjourned to her own motel room for a hot shower and a session of spin control.

In the end, she realized she could not be elected Senator after leaving someone to die at the scene of an accident.; 1/22/10, 2:22 PM

I love the image of bears roaming around, influencing political events. Maybe even bears in suits. Maybe even bears sitting at breakfast tables, reading this headline and looking put out!; 1/22/10, 2:32 PM

Trooper York said...: Las Vegas Sun Journal, January 22, 2010
In a stunning twist of fate, one of the top strategists of the Martha Coakley campaign has forsworn politics for a new career as the first male bear prostitute in Nevada’s history.

Long a bastion of legal prostitution, “Teddy” as he is know decided that the change in careers is not all that radical a notion. “I have always felt like a prostitute, after all I have spent all of my life in politics. Now I will just get paid for it.”

Scandal had tainted the ursine consultant when he briefly was tangentially involved in the prostitution ring that was uncovered while he worked on Congressman Barney Frank’s staff, but he had seemed to turn his life around and had gained a prominent role in the Senatorial campaign of Attorney General Coakley.

Anonymous said...: My favorite ad of the campaign season was the short one of Smokey, with a "Vote for Brown" band around his ranger hat simply saying: "Only you can prevent Obamacare."

My second favorite was the crying Indian, opening a envelope to read, on "Death Panel" stationery, that "Your request for chemotherapy has been denied."; 1/22/10, 3:49 PM

Well, it might actually be sorta true if you think about it in the Andrew Sullivan sense.

That is so fucking stupid as to be a joke in my mind. Also for the queens, dykes, fems, twinks, and any other moronic affiliations that homosexuals group themselves under while asking the rest of the universe to accept them as a homogeneous whole. Idiots.; 1/22/10, 8:23 PM
