From the mouths of nutjobs

It’s hard to explain to folks who do not spend a lot of time in the blogosphere just how whacky the moonbats who inhabit the largest liberal blogs can be. Daily Kos is, I believe, the highest traffic blog out there.

Right Wing News rounds up some of their best efforts from 2006:

The Worst Quotes From The Daily Kos For 2006

America’s biggest, most influential, and kookiest blog is the Daily Kos and so, obviously, the blog deserves its own set of “worst of” quotes for 2006. As you read these quotes, keep in mind that all of them come from the Daily Kos diarists, not from the commenters:

10) “And I come in here tonight and surf on my computer and the first information I get is that Saddam Hussein was hung by the neck until dead. I don’t think we put him out of his misery. I believe he left misery behind long ago. We had taken it from him, because misery was too good for this man – we wanted something more. But he was human – he had dreams, he had aspirations, I am sure. He did kind things sometimes, I am sure. But yes he was a cruel man – funny I felt obligated to say that. I am wondering if Saddam Hussein’s execution will put me out of my misery. Not tonight – because tonight I feel an overwhelming sense of sadness.” — wilbur

2) “Our sons and daughters need to realize that choosing to be a soldier means a decision to place themselves among “the damned,” since no matter what they end up doing while on the field of battle, they will eventually be damned.. damned if they do and damned if they do not. Realizing that compliance with a superior’s order to shoot and kill the enemy may well lead to the damnation (the self-extirpation) of one’s soul.

You can’t make up crazy like that. Scary.

This from the “progressive and tolerant” party.

H/t Wizbang!

Just another day in Detroit

I could post a story like this every day. This one sticks out because, once again, like the mannequin weirdo and the garbage truck hobo, this happened within just a mile or two of my house.

If, in the middle of the afternoon, you happen to rear end an amored truck that is sitting on the shoulder of the expressway, killing someone in the process — what should you do?

Run!!!

Fatal accident shuts down southbound I-75

Southbound Interstate 75 was closed at 7 Mile Road while police investigate a fatal traffic accident.

The accident happened about 2 p.m. when a Hummer H2 struck a disabled armored van parked in the left shoulder, killing a 59-year-old Southfield woman, who was in the rear of the van.

The driver of the Hummer, a 26-year-old Detroit man, fled the scene on foot but was later caught at an area hospital where he was seeking treatment. Two other passengers in the armored van were injured and taken to an area hospital for treatment.

A couple of years ago, someone threw the body of a young woman out onto the same stretch of highway during the morning rush hour. Hundreds of terrified motorists had to witness her body being hit by several cars.

What a great city.
