Mitt Romney spotted in the wild. 

bigfoot.

yikes

“I once had it all…” Jesus, it looks like he’s been sitting around eating nothing but McDonald’s and swimming in his money vault all day.

Taken from this reddit post. Key comment from redditor millionsofmonkeys:

If he cried a tear per minute over his loss, and used a new $100 bill to wipe each tear, he would still have fresh 100s after 3.8 years.

Chart: Almost Every Obama Conspiracy Theory Ever

Click here for embiggened version and sad, sad background text.

maxistentialist:

ThinkProgress misattributed my “Cavalrymen for Romney” site to the Obama Campaign, and now there’s a lot of conspiracy theorists on Twitter including Garance Franke-Ruta, a senior editor at The Atlantic, who think the site suggests that Obama planned that line.

For the record, this site had nothing to do with the Obama campaign. I voluntarily linked it to the President’s website, because that’s a good resource for learning about his policies.

I definitely made the site quickly, but I didn’t have any advance knowledge of what would happen in the debate. When I heard Obama’s line about horses and bayonets, I thought about how funny those things would be as special interests (big horse), and that gave me the idea for the site. Once I had the idea, it only took me about ten minutes to launch it, and it was online well before the debate was over.

Here’s how I did it:

• I grabbed the first big Google Image search result for “cavalry” that was on a white background
• I copy/pasted the Romney logo onto his pike and mocked up the “learn more” button
• I exported my images and coded the site by hand in HTML and CSS… my TextExpander snippets let me assemble a site like that very, very quickly
• To eliminate domain name propagation time, I purchased the domain from my registrar (Gandi.net) and set it to redirect with a mask to a subdomain on my site

This is important. Read.

Fact.

Cool. So you support allowing same-sex couples to marry and adopt?

Big Bird cries, too.

Big Bird is so sad he actually turned blue.
