Hillbilly
Everything About Her Is RILL, Okay!?
Here’s Anderson Cooper spazzing out about how 51-year-old Eugene Victor Tooms* married that 16-year-old Real Childwife of Ocean Shores. This was already my favorite news story of the week, and that was before I saw her YouTube clips. They’re rill, rill, rill good, you guys: *To everybody who “doesn’t know who that guy is,” I […]
Redneck Fire Tornado Chasers
So there’s this video of a “fire tornado” in Arizona—which I believe to be absolutely legit. However, I’m not too sure about the audio track which seems to suggest a hillbilly family desperately trying to videotape the phenomenon, instead of trying to escape. (True or not, it’s funny.) I hear ya, hillbilly mom. I really […]

Now THIS is How You Celebrate a Political Assassination
The gentlemen in this video—the one firing a gun, and whooping loudly while riding an ATV with an American flag flying from the back—and I come from different worlds. While I certainly feel relieved that Osama bin Laden isn’t around anymore, I’m still concerned about how he and his reign of terror came to be […]
No, Seriously, This is Obama’s REAL Birth Certificate!

Today’s “Mercury Several Moments of Inspirations”
Creating the Mercury week after week is like feeding a rabid hippo. The hippo must be fed, and if not? The hippo will attack and give you rabies. That’s why I like to start every morning by giving the staff an inspirational speech. It might go something like this:“Ahem… Get to work, you fucking ugly […]
The Hamster Ball Derby is Coming!!

Blogtowners… I Love You (Comparatively Speaking, Of Course)
I was just reading reactions to the devastation in Japan provided by FOX News commenters, and was suddenly overcome by love for the commenters of Blogtown. In comparison, you guys are like Mother Teresa. Yes! Even more disturbing, after the jump. via
