A LIFE MEASURED IN FURRIES
A Children’s Treasury Of Furries At CPAC, Part One

Wonkette’s annual CPAC attendee friend Garrett Quinn, who is insane for still going to these things but great for sending us the laffs, has delivered the first batch of terrifying furry photos from Day One. They depict an astroturfing eagle and a monstrous grey squid-elephant walrus fetus that isn’t Dick Armey. (Maybe.) Six demerits to each from Mittens, we guess? UPDATE: My god, is it actually Cthulhu??

Oh, sorry, this isn’t a furry, he isn’t even wearing his human costume yet. MOAR! FEED MAH MOAR PLASMA CRACKERS!

Old Man Thinks Modern Conservatives Are Too European

.... Edwards' essay, posted at The Atlantic, is ostensibly an answer to the (unasked?) question of why he's skipping this year's Conservative Political Action Conference. Of course, it is because Conservatives today are not like the Good Conservatives of His Day!

There are like five completely incompatible and contradictory different arguments in this column. Like, Edwards certainly has a point about the contempt Bush-era conservatives have for Civil Liberties! He is certainly right to be put off by Limbaugh and Beck and find defenses of torture to be incredibly unconservative! But he can't quite diagnose the source of the problem, here: ... ....

The Conservative Movement of Teabaggers and Torture and Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh is too European? The god-and-guns fundies who make up almost the entirety of the GOP base is apparently a bit French for Edwards' tastes. It gets weirder: ... ....

According to Mickey, the Conservatism he served for so many years was about Liberty and Limited Government. Of course the modern conservative movement that apparently scares him so much is just the logical end point of the real philosophy of 20th Century Republicans. This is conservatism of Jim Crow and the Southern Strategy and States Rights, and the people in charge of the movement now are the exact same people who were in charge of the movement when Edwards was chairing task forces in the Reagan era.

But, yeah—too European! That's the problem with Birchers and Brietbart. ....

American Solutions Eagle and Obama Fail Whale Face Off at CPAC
By Dan Kotman on February 18, 2010 11:30 AM

If you're attending the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), you could win a Nintendo Wii or $250. All you need to do is track, tweet, and win.

Throughout the three-day conference, an American Solutions eagle and an Obama fail whale will be wandering around the hotel. Conference attendees lucky enough to track them down and tweet out a picture that includes "@AmSol" in the tweet will automatically be entered into a raffle to win their choice of a Nintendo Wii or $250.

It fails as a Fail Whale. Which somehow makes it a Fail Whale. Even though it fails at being a Fail Whale. Aaaahhhh, my brain! Cthulu, deliver me!
