One of the most bizarre blog posts ever written.
To say that it rambles is putting it mildly, and if you can’t quite make it through to the end just know that this blogger thinks she’s proven that Barack Obama is the illegitimate son of Malcom X.

by @ Monday, October 20th, 2008. Filed under 2008 Election, Dumbasses, Politics, Television

Apparently, some conservative bloggers have gotten themselves up in arms over this 19 second clip from last night’s Family Guy:
