Yet another succumbs to the 'Onion Effect'. 

Edit: I'd have liked to see this segment:

As Robin Sparkles, she also appeared on the Canadian educational children's show Space Teens with Alan Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger as Jessica Glitter, where two teen girls traveling through space in a curling stone–shaped spaceship "solve mysteries using math" featuring the song "Two Beavers Are Better Than One" ...

5 hours until DHS funding ends.

Lindsey Graham was on Wolf.  He was saying "80% of Republicans support a 3 week extension and 99% of Democrats oppose it," so if it fails it's the Democrats' fault.  He was using some strange tenses and moods so I couldn't tell if this was count on a recent vote, or prediction, or what.

Also, he sounds a lot less faggy.  Must have gotten a voice coach.

DHS should die in a fire anyway.

These games of "budget chicken", never seem to work for the GOP.

Wait you thought 'Let's go to the Mall' was real

The best part was when she was in the Canadian bar singing 'two beavers are better than one' with Stephen Harper, a Mountie, Queen Elizabeth, and a Team Canada Hockey Player

"Friday" was real, after that you can believe anything.

Also, I'm pretty sure the thing about Canadians being afraid of the dark is true.

Do they still have the "repeal Obamacare" provision in the funding bill?

Don't think so.  This one is about amnesty and Homeland Security.

Well, let's hope that doesn't catch on.

"The noughts" and "the teens" are much like "The Department of Homeland Security," in the sense that they sound like crap and are easy to disparage, but it's difficult to come up with something better.

Oughts,

The 70s was a deeply sexist time.

[Sheilbh]

My sense is "mullet" dates back to the mid-late 80s.

I would have thought so too. Apparently, though, the term itself is a 90s term.

The German love of a mullet knows no historical boundaries:

Ancient mullets[edit]
In the sixth century, Byzantine scholar Procopius wrote that some factions of young males wore their hair long at the back and cut it short over the forehead. This non-Roman style was termed the 'Hunnic' look.[5][6]

Right. I was confused about what they were trying to repeal - it still has the repeal of Obama's recent directive on immigrants in the funding bill, then?
