You might think that Sarah Palin, the losing candidate from an election that happened six years ago, would be hard to merchandise. But there remains a stalwart Sarah Palin audience out there, continuing to collect Halloween masks, bobbleheads, 2016 election magnets, reading glasses, and, as above, knives emblazoned with her eerie grin.

Whatever your political affiliation, having a Sarah Palin obsession is bizarre. Collecting this stuff would be like wearing a Bob Dole mask, carefully dusting your Bob Dole figurines with a Bob Dole feather duster.

Potato toddlers.

Is it a thing that white celebrities get props just for acting like baseline decent people? Must be the soft bigotry of low expectations, I guess.

I mean, those people are considered completely fringe kooks, while people who say the opposite are running the Republican Party, so you probably don’t have to sweat them too much right now.

Look, this isn’t a perfect rule, but pretty much, it’s cool to make fun of anyone who’s colonized or enslaved you, and not the other way around.

One year ago on October 1, 2013, the GOP forced a government shutdown to stop Obamacare from going into effect.

Now if they had just let it happen they could’ve really exploited the real problems with Healthcare.gov, but instead they drew attention to how strongly they feel that poor and sick people should be denied access to health insurance.

Sure, they claimed Obamacare would be a huge disaster, but after the website was fixed Obamacare met and exceeded its enrollment goals, as well as helping to control healthcare inflation and give people financial security if they got sick.

Don’t believe me? Maybe you should read this:

7 Charts That Prove Obamacare Is Working

One year after healthcare.gov crashed, things are looking up for the president’s signature achievement

Though you won’t hear about any of those successes on Fox News.

And nor will you hear any reminders of what big assholes and hypocrites Republicans were during the shutdown. So let’s take a look back at the highlights (click on images for more info):

and

and

and

and

and

and finally:

In the months since the shutdown ended and pundits started saying that it was a failure, Ted Cruz tried a new strategy— he now claims that it was Obama and Democrats who forced the shutdown, not he and the Republicans. Yes, really.

For the complete list of shutdown assholes, check out all our government shutdown posts.

i’m so upset

I just realized that the reason ghosts say Boo! is because it’s a latin verb

they’re literally saying ‘I alarm/I am alarming/I do alarm!!

I can’t

present active boō, present infinitive boāre, perfect active boāvī, supine boātum

Recte!

if it comes from the latin word, they’re actually saying “I’M YELLING!” which is even cuter

do they speak latin because it’s a dead language

#and I just don’t feel entitled to someone else’s life’s work.

That comment exactly!! It’s not mine and I can survive without it, so I will.

This is why honey is not vegan.

The problem here is that honey, especially if you buy it ethically from an apiarist, isn’t actually detrimental to the well-being of the bee or the hive. In the wild, honey is used as a food stock, but in a domesticated honeybee colony, the bees are fed quite well, and so the honey is a surplus.

The alternatives, like sugar, relies on monocrops in third world countries, with transient labour. Growing up, there was a sugarcane field by my house, and I’m sure the Haitian men who worked backbreaking hours hacking a machete through knife-bladed leaves in 40 degree heat for a couple dollars a day would have traded a testicle to be a Canadian honeybee. Stevia’s going the same way, iirc.

Additionally, apiarists are actually huge proponents and activists for sustainable bee-keeping, and it’s estimated that the domesticated hive may be the last great hope for declining populations, because we can optimize their chances for survival.

It’s their life’s work, sure, but it’s not the death of them to use it responsibly.

literally read anything about the history of sugarcane and the cuban sugar industry if you think sugar is or ever has been more ethical than honey
