Now this is funny.
And I would know, as, on occasion, I’ve been known to write something funny.

Lieberman has gained a 17 point lead in a recent poll, which just underscores how much the nutroots need to redouble their efforts to defeat Lieberman and get that guy… uh… not-Lieberman to win. Do I have to remind you how this is the most important election ever ever for the Democrats? Forget everything else and give all your time and money to defeat Lieberman! No other race matters! Lieberman once kissed George W. Bush! What a homo! He must be stopped!

Glenn “Mmm… puppy” Reynolds early voted in Tennessee, and has a poll to guess who he voted for in the Senate race.
I’m guessing the third option. Too bad I’m three years too young if he’s trying to start a movement.
UPDATE:
I hear Instapundit has been mentioned on Rush a lot this week, but I happened to miss it. Has anyone called in to tell Rush Limbaugh about Glenn’s evil smoothie habit so Rush will have more ammo against his new foe? If anyone disputes it, just tell him to Google it. On the internets, it’s an established fact!
UPDATE 2:
Glenn has now revealed who he’s voted for. It wasn’t me.

NUTROOTS PLAN
PHASE 1: Get really angry.
PHASE 2: Help Democrats win the House and Senate.
PHASE 3: ???

I think the easiest way to understand the nutroots is to think of them as people who hate the Yankees. I’m using the Yankees since lots of people seem to hate them. Mind you, I don’t hate the Yankees as I feel a bit like a New Yorker myself. I spent a good part of my life in northern New Jersey where all my local news came from New York City, and every morning before school I got to find out whether alternate side parking was suspended – whatever that means. With this New York exposure, I naturally feel that the baseball team that spends the most money deserves to win.
Anyway, the nutroots hate the Yankees like many of you do and they love their local team. They really really want their local team to win, but, more importantly, they want the Yankees to lose. They feel this is extremely important for reasons they can’t quite comprehend enough to put into a coherent thought (they may throw the word “fascism” around, but that’s mainly a meaningless amplifier to them… much like a swear word).
Now, when the Yankees lost this season, were you happy? Many of you were.
But did you have a long term plan for after the Yankees lost?
And that’s the problem with the nutroots. They’re so concerned with winning and winning alone that they’ve reduced rooting for the Democrats and against the Republicans to rooting for one’s favorite sports team and against the most hated rival. As meaningless as sports wins are to the world at large, people can get convinced they’re very important. And, when those fans get what they desire, it’s cathartic for a short time– but that’s it. There’s nothing more after that.
So, what can we expect from the nutroots if the Dems win big in November? They’ll probably riot that night and burn things and knock over cars. Then they’ll just wait feverishly for the next election.

Test
This is only a test.
If there were an actual Spacemonkey post, you would be groaning by now.

I dunno; this GOP ad this late in the game reeks of desperation. Still, Kos’s feverish assertion that terrorist concerns will cause more people to vote Democrat is about as delusional as it gets (“Save us, fearsome Democrats! Your whining and your criticism of Bush is all that can stop Islamic terror!”).
Still, I am a partisan shill, so it is my duty to try and rescue the Republicans despite how much they deserve to drown. Their new ad combined with Superstar’s link to an old post of mine has opened up a huge fount of inspiration. Expect a cool new series from me starting Monday. I’m quite excited about it, and I hope my vagueness has excited you too.

Aww… look how sad and sorry they are.
Let’s get them a present!
