The Ass Clown of the Month for September


Yes, Dear Readers, I know that I promised a few more vacation pictures today, but I think that after yesterday's photographic extravaganza, you could probably use a break. And I don't want to let the opportunity to designate this month's Ass Clown of the Month go by without naming a suitable dishonoree.


As always, the field of possible candidates is huge and the selection is correspondingly difficult. The amazing ass-clownery oozing out of the halls of a useless, do-nothing Congress alone provides 535 worthy* candidates, and the people who endorsed a "secret" level security clearance to the man who murdered 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard also made a very strong showing. But for sheer murderous ass-clownery in the self-appointed service of God, a group award for this month's Ass Clown of the Month goes to


Al-Shabaab, or "The Youth," an al-Qaeda-linked militant Islamic group fighting for the creation of a fundamentalist Islamic state in Somalia, attacked a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, murdering at least 68 people and injuring more than 175 after allegedly allowing Muslims to leave for safety. 

For its shining example of murderous religious bigotry and intolerance, al-Shabaab as a group and all its members as individuals are jointly designated our September Ass Clown of the Month.

Have a good day. If your religious beliefs include a belief in your right and duty to murder people of other faiths, you might want to rethink the sort of God you worship, because you're a worthless idiot on the way to finding out all about hell, rather than paradise.

More thoughts tomorrow.

Al-Shabaab deserves the Ass Clown award with special citations for moronism.

Hard choice but good choice from so many candidates this month.

They seem to be killing random strangers in a mall. How does it further their cause? Indeed, WTF is their cause?

Good choice!
