September 11th – the anniversary of the last time Kaye Grogan could think of anything to write about. Even that gets dull, I guess. Seven years after the End of Irony and the birth of the New Seriousness, it’s tarted up and trotted out, to diminishing returns, whenever one wishes to stimulate the failing Republican hindbrain while leaving the national gray matter completely disengaged, eliciting at most a thin and bitter grin. From the End of Irony and the birth of the New Seriousness to a tasteless joke. Let’s roll.

Your sexist comments about Kaye Grogan only prove you’re a sexist.

Non-circulating Liberian legal tender currency!

I agree. Who cares about a bunch of dead commie liberal New Yorkers? Go Red Sox!

Seeing the images replayed takes me right back to how I felt that day. Makes me want to overthrow a secular dictatorship and occupy a region nowhere near those responsible all over again.

Great find, Danny Shahar.
“It’s the first time ever two separate numbers have been used to add up to the full face value.” Perhaps because that doesn’t make any fucking sense.
“Payable, like a silver certificate, in the coin of the realm.” The realm in Liberia.
Also, “coin certificate” is not a word. It’s not even word-like. It’s the verbal equivalent of multiplying by zero.

Dictatorships the world over thank you, sir!
Wait a minute! Was that sarcasm?
My gran-papa always said that was the ugliest form of humor…

I will pay big coin-certificates to go back in time before I knew how focused on self-mutilation America would become and blow my fucking head clean off my shoulders.
Watching the American people let a bunch of fucking retards called the GOP run the grand ol’ USA into the ground makes me very sad and angry, let’s call it sangry.
I am so sangry.

Other misinformed people deny that former Iraqi leaders had anything to do with the 9/11 attack. Well, how do they explain that the biggest majority of killed and captured terrorists has occurred in Iraq?
Well, smartypants?

If John McCain winds up in the White House, how much do you want to bet KO winds up some Countdown in an MSNBC window, shouting he’s mad as hell and he’s not going to take it anymore?
