Usually I’m dismissive of slippery-slope arguments — I find them to be intellectually lazy — but you allow euthanasia for the really sick and apparently it’s not long until someone says, “We should allow suicides for everybody!” Yes, the president of the leading suicide clinic thinks suicides are a “marvelous possibility” and should be allowed to anyone who wants them who is mentally sound — mentally sound and wanting to commit suicide.

I’m just glad there is an ocean between us and Europe. We should fill it with sea monsters (like Predator X) to be on the safe side, though.

Newt Gingrich was talking about the possible need for forming a new party. As we all know, third parties are for crackpots and nut cases and crazy people and the insane and people who live in their parents basement and the socially inept and goobers and hippies and people who turn their skin blue and rejects and freaks and owners of ferrets and weirdos and your mom, but at some point we may have to consider it… or at least consider a name! Here are my ideas:

FRANK IDEAS FOR NEW POLITICAL PARTY NAMES

* Freedomitaritans

* Bitter Clingers

* The Super Awesomes

* American Ronin

* Crat Cutters

* The Anti-Tax, Gun-Loving, Terrorist-Killing Super Fun Group

* Liberty Ninjas

* Cyborg Dino Freedom-Lovers

* Hippie Punchers

…except for the King of Saudi Arabia. I hear Obama also gave him two iPods of his speeches.

UPDATE:

Part of the reason this is surprising is that, even though I never believed Obama to be Muslim, the type of Muslim I believe him not to be was Shiite.
