I'm sure my trolling of my local Las Vegas papers can bring up plenty of examples, given that we have a loud minority of strong libertarians. Here's the best I've got for now, a dude is unhappy that the freeway running parallel to casino row has diamond lanes. It's a federal conspiracy and ruining perfectly good pavement that could make more room for cars with a single driver! "Hear hear!" the internet commenters say: quote:Are you expected to ask a neighbor to just go along for the ride in order to "carpool?" These lanes were paid for by all the taxpayers, but only some get to use them. Maybe next we'll have a special lane for Congressmen?

The little guy in the corner is a nod to Tom Toles, who always does the same thing. Except Toles draws people as squat, fat, cylindrical-legged people; usually with a puffy face and beady eyes. I like Toles, but he is almost as heavy handed and derivative of himself at times:

He has been consistent in drawing Cain as a clown for a while. Oliphant always gets vaguely racist when a black person happens to be conservative: his characterization of Condi Rice as a bird with huge lips and buck teeth was frequently attacked during the past administration.

An article on narrowing streets and colour-coding bike lanes in order to socially engineer traffic to slow down in one of America's sprawling post-war cities. Reader Comment: quote:Bike riders are a pain in the pocket. How much has been spent on bike lanes? Too much. Helloooothe year is 2011, we drive cars now. When I was just starting to drive there were signs on Freeway ramps reading "No Equestrians". Why because nobody rode a horse on the freeway, now they seldom ride them to work. Bikes will be the same, a thing of the past. There will be a few holdouts. That will be because they think they look good in the plastic wrap costume they wear.

Going to the blogosphere for a bit. I found this gay Republican blogger due to his page asking the million dollar question, Is Barack Obama Gay? We'll get back around to that in a moment. My favourite story is an article about chasing down an XTube user for masturbating in a Cleveland mall. That activity is, well, pretty disgusting; but apparently the Paul Blarts of the mall couldn't give a poo poo to catch him in the act, so Internet Detectives will have to take the case. We start off with the usual.. quote:The Galleria at Erieview is a now almost-abandoned (yet still gorgeous) downtown shopping mall in Cleveland, Ohio with soaring glass cathedral ceilings that were repurposed as an urban greenhouse after most of the retail tenants vacated their storefronts in the Obama economy. That "Obama's recession" routine is pretty tame stuff, so let's kick it up a notch. As commenters are suspicious, his response a leap off the rails: quote:If you watch the video, this man is in obsessively gym-toned shape. Some of you might argue with me on this one (and note that your straight cousin is an exception or your straight neighbor’s not gay but does this too), but it’s incredibly rare to find a straight male who is that buff. In the gyms here in Chicago for instance, a lot of straight guys workout on a very regular basis; some of them become obsessed with exercise too…but it’s the gay men who really keep themselves in the shape that “KSUHurdler” keeps himself in. The straight men who spend a lot of time in the gym are usually guys who do it for stress-relief or to maintain their weight. Some straight guys become the crazy marathon runner or cyclist guys; you can tell them immediately because they tend to look gaunt and exhausted all the time and are guys that have very strange and obsessive personalities that make them seem like they could explode at any minute. Gay guys, however, bulk up and keep themselves as trim as possible because they want the attention from other guys that this conditioning brings. It’s a peacock thing. The guy in this video is preening and exhibiting himself in a video he knows is going to be viewed by other guys exclusively. A straight guy just wouldn’t do this. Yes, there are indeed straight male bodybuilders who enjoy showing off their bodies, but these guys don’t masturbate in public and film themselves for videos that they post with gay-coded words on a fetish site like XTube. Most bodybuilders that are straight are guys that use the bodybuilding to desperately try to repair self-esteem and self-confidence issues they had before they became gym rats (I would hazard that 80% of these guys were fat kids, had bad relationships with their dads, or otherwise needed to get into the weight training to get over something emotionally scarring in their lives). quote:If you watch the video, the guy has gay-face. You can see it in his eyes, even factoring out the fact that he’s engaged in something that’s distracting him, he’s still got gay-face that makes him look a little like RuPaul Charles if RuPaul was an extremely buff, zero body fat, fetishist publicly masturbating at the Galleria at Erieview in downtown Cleveland. We've got a running start, it's time for lift-off... quote:Gay bathhouses in Chicago like Steamworks or Man’s Country (where both Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel used to frequently “play”) have vending machines that dispense Poppers, lube, condoms, and all sorts of other sexual gear the way regular vending machines spit out Doritos or Lays chips. Let’s put it this way: it’s as likely for a straight guy to be using Poppers as it is for a straight guy to be rocking out to Madonna or Lady Gaga on his iPod while walking down the street wearing a little Yassir Arafat-style scarf with his hair styled into a cupie-doll-esque “faux hawk”. This is about as  as Gingrich and the "anti-colonial viewpoint" statement. No wonder for I'm disappointed in Obama, I voted for a gay nightclub agenda and was given a bathhouse instead!

Well, he is gay and lives in Chicago. Writing about how nice the gaybourhood is when it isn't teeming with inappropriate displays of vulgarity seems to be a pastime for him.

I realize the online comments file attached to newspaper articles is a little too lowbrow even for this thread, but I don't think I've ever seen racism so casual-like. In a discussion about Wal-Mart coming to Miami community... Commenter 1: In "dark" areas, another words. Commenter 2: What do you mean by "dark areas"? Commenter 3: Don't pay any attention to the dummy. She even wrote "another words" instead of "in other words". Clearly she is clinically retarded -- or recently climbed off of a raft.
