Texas?!
Taxes, Texas…same thing….
Go taxes!
Are you trying to train taxes? Maybe they’ll fetch a stick or bring you the newspaper?
No, its a race! Go Taxes, Go! I’ve got money one you!
I see. For a minute I thought it was a little kid that wanted the monster in the closet to leave. “GOOOO AWAY, taxes!!!” *cries*
Political reality in the USA WIN.
I consider this to be a double fail. Even if it was spelled right, putting a flag under your foot as a sign of ‘patriotism’ is an epic fail.
this fails just as much as the Texas Texans
As opposed to Norwegian Texans?
PWNED.
Marx Brothers ->
Prosecutor: You haven’t been paying your taxes.
Chicolini: Taxes. I have an uncle who lives in Taxes.
Prosecutor: No, Money. Dollars.
Chicolini: Dollars, Taxes. That’s where my uncle is a-from.
dyslexics untie!!
oh my dog! not again!
Well, sometimes it sounds like when people say Texas, it sounds like Taxes. Especially people with very strong southern accents.
Yes and like people saying brogue with a brogue.
No it doesn’t.
Possibly celebratory footwear of Ann Richards?
And Mark White!
Should’ve known taxes would be put on shoes eventually. Silly government.
Then in NY, these would have to be flip flops that cost over $110. Damn fashion!
Is a flip flop an anagram?
If we are talking anagrams…..one letter missing for a s3x act.
Flip flopping on taxes? Sounds like George Bush, Sr.
How many politicians didn’t flip flop on taxes?
So true, so true…
No sox with flip-flops.
White sox and sandals? Yuck!
Six white sox?
Sax on the beach?
Sammy is a white sox.
Better than red sox and sandals.
This is a subconcience remark for ppl who don’t pay taxes, but do buy must have bs stuff.
Taxes are theft
*steals taxes*
*gives to the porcupines*
The chinchillas will bring down the porcupine tyranny.
No.
At high school, taxing someone was a euphenism for mugging them.
Also, tea-leaf was rhyming slang for thief.
So, teabaggers taxing means being mugged by a gang of thieves I guess.
I’m with Anti-Tax.
Coincidentally your thought corresponds with that of a famous British (I think) philosopher whose name I forgot (was it Hobbes?), who said that any government is nothing but the strongest gang which came to absolute power in a country.
Excuse me AE, I have Tammany Hall on the line, they want you brought in for questioning.
Sorry, but: Who?
Clickie AE. Not mentioned in the article is the use of Irish immigrants to fill the police force. Made for a good party enforcement arm.
Thank you!
*Squeeze-a- tax*
I love taxes!
I know, everyone should live in Taxes!
Deep in the foot of Taxes.
Is that pronounced in a brogue?
Anything opine-told will suffice.
..and then we can moccasin of street level taxes.
Where? ‘The loot, it’s the loot of Taxus’.
In Soviet Texas, Taxes pay you.
Texas toast.
There are only two certainties in life:
Death and thongs.
And Taxes. Make that three certainties.
I’ll come in again…
I don’t get it. IRS footwear. Big deal.
T A X E S!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaah now i get it. wow, this fail fails@being easy.
I am not easy, that will cost you $1,000,000,000.00
Lies, it will cost $13,000,000,000,000.00
You know, I still don’t understand the phrase teabaggers. I’ve always thought that a teabagger is one that “teabags” people. Clicky for explaination for my point.
Exactly, it stems form that, sort of. Earlier this year, right-wing crazies decided to protest taxes (read: having to pay them at all) by conducting a “new Boston Tea Party,” sending a bunch of actual teabags to the White House on tax day. Various pundits pushing it made the mistake of Not Doing the Research, and started talking about “teabagging the White House.” When others heard that and made the obvious jokes, the name stuck as a mocking phrase for these people.
*Raises hand* I was a proud mocker. These “intelligent” people love researching popular culture. Especially if it’s as easy as asking a young intern if a phrase has a double meaning.
I like how you get ahead.
no, that was a couple presidents ago…
I will have you know it wasn’t just ‘right-wing crazies’, as you put it. They weren’t protesting paying taxes, it was in protest of paying MORE taxes…and the increased involvement of the government into the private sector and private lives.
shhh, the government is already here…
*cure eerie music*
Yeah, I know…they followed me into work this morning.
*dun, dun, DUNNNNNNNN*
Mike didn’t believe in the government, and now…he’s not here…his wife claims he never existed…
*dun, dun, duuuuuuunnnn*
Let me also add I am not part of one party or the other, so please don’t try to make this a party thing. I had friends who vote on both sides of the aisle attend several of these tea parties, thus the reason I say this.
Awwww crap.
*puts away party hats*
Don’t you like parties?
Oh, I’m sorry! Did you want a party?? I can get the confetti cannon out…
*hands out party favors*
Wheeee!
After all, it’s Thursday a.k.a. um… Friday Eve!
Let’s party!!
Excellent point, my bovine friend.
There are many well-meaning people involved in the teabagger/tea party protests… all being strung along by failed politicians (ie, Di!ckless Armey) who are too narcissistic to know better.
“Right-wing crazies” is a contradiction in terms.
Tea Parties = True Americans.
Amen brother, screw the haters. They’re just jealous of our patriotic status and our ability to think without the help of big government
Sorry, nothing to be jealous of. Taxes are a part of life. Not wanting to pay them is what put this country at risk. Now the bills are come due and nobody wants to ante up. Sorry, but i would rather have my money go to help others, not to pay for such things as war! Cracks me up you dont want to help others, but you have no problem paying for attacking other countries, and then wonder why they might not like us? I hate to correct you, but they don’t hate our values, they hate the fact that we con’t mind our own business. You want to tell me what those people in Iraq done to us before they were attacked this time. Guess what, another nation comes in here and kills my relatives, they are on my shit list too. The last thing, this crap about being worried about the bill we are leaving our kids, totally hypocritical, since your side has no problem using up the natural resources. What difference will it make if they have money, when they won’t have food, water, and fuel?
I agree. However, I am jealous of their patriotic status.
“When there is no peace in the family, filial piety begins.
When the country falls into chaos, patriotism is born.” ~Lao-tzu
You do realize this country was actually founded on not wanting to pay taxes, right?
Any time I see someone named “Todd” complaining about big government, I hark back to the secessionist loving Todd Palin.
Yep. The author of this website is starting to really show whose side they are on… and it isn’t the good guys.
You are very highly diluted if you believe in the idealistic “good guys” portrayed in the movies. The fact is there is no absolute right or absolute wrong but shades of gray and light and darkness of those shades are only seen from each individual’s perspective. If you can’t see this, or refuse to acknowledge this fact, it is because you are either ignorant or self deluded.
One day I hope you can come to see the truth in this statement. I am not saying you are wrong, but I would educate myself on the issues before I start condemning someone I do not know, with a idealist concept that is not my own.
Before you start accusing me of hypocrisy, just realize I am not saying you are wrong. I am just trying to tell you if you are going to make an argument make sure it is an educated one. I would respect you for that, even if I might not agree with your political leanings.
I say he’s wrong.
*moons BigRuss*
*click*
Careful, he got that nickname in prison.
‘Cause he’s so worn out?
According to Jules, BigRuss makes weak tea.
*snork*
That happens when you send your teabags to the White House.
Or when the teabags are empty or worn out.
*spanks AE butt*
Gotta love freedom of expression.
I consider the good guys anyone who believes in individual liberty, not plundering their fellow man and empowering the statists to steal that liberty.
Pretty cut and dry… sorry if you can’t discern the absolute right and wrong of it. *Sigh*
Tea Parties = Sour Grapes
No really… We made a serious impact on politics without instigating violence or starting riots. I’m very proud of that and laugh at the horrible remarks made about the Tea Party Patriots.
Are those remarks as horrible as comparing politicians of “the other side” to Hitler or Stalin?
I love people who use those names yet have no idea what they really mean.
‘Cause the tea party movement is on the “right” (in both senses of the word) side of the spectrum. For goodness sake, they brought actual firearms to their rallies and the police didn’t touch them; meanwhile, for one example, a prominent Canadian anarchist got beaten and arrested under charges of armed assault for standing -near- a homemade catapult that launched teddy bears, which he had nothing to do with. It’s more to do with position than actual protest strategy. (Not that I’m claiming there aren’t violent extremists on the fringes)
You made a serious impact on politics? In your wet dreams, perhaps, but not in reality. There are many well-intentioned folks participating in the protests but they are being manipulated by people filled with bad intent.
Yep. I used to like FAIL blog before they started to add their lame titles. Now they’re using it as a medium for left wing political undertones. Also, I’d like to point out that no one whines as much as the leftist media.
I didn’t know it were possible to be so hypocritical in such a short post.
But still, I’ll start a revolution right now. Join in, comrades!
Revolution?
*spins round in a circle until he gets sick and falls over*
Blaaaaaaaaarg.
*slips in blaaaarg*
*crashes to floor*
*seizes opportunity to anklesqueeze the Moomin*
Now I feel foolish with this fake mustache and beard.
That’s not your nose hair? Whew, I didn’t know how to address this issue…
My turn. . . Blaaaaaaaarg!
*slips in blaaaarg*
*grabs Marius’ beard to stay in balance*
*seizes opportunity to squeeze*
Carpe squeeziem.
Which point in my short post was hypocritical? – That I don’t like the new titles on failblog, that I don’t like that failblog is using the new titles for propoganda, or that this particular title “Teabaggers are such whiners …” is incorrect because the liberal media whines more than any other media.
Yes.
Does anyone want some cheese to go with this whine? I have a nice gouda.
I prefer geeze with whine.
I prefer to whine in Giza.
I say we bathe him in whine vinegar.
Leftist sure love to be cynical without explaining themselves ey? No wonder they’re running our country into the ground.
Hey! I’m busy running MY country to the ground. I leave running the USA in the ground to you folks.
He’s not even from the States, JD. I doubt if he’s running it into the ground.
I didn’t say he was. I said leftist are.
I did however say that leftist like to be cynical without explaining themselves which is apparent in the replies to my original post.
You were replying to Arthur. That implies that you were referring to him. If you’re not referring to the person you reply to, it’s a good idea to state that in your comment. Otherwise micommunications occur. I’ve been guilty of this myself, so I know of whence I speak.
My apologies. I thought that the internet was public forum. And when I communicate on a public forum I’m communicating to – you guessed it – the public. I mean you replied to me and I was not addressing you correct?
My problem is not with Arthur, or any of these other people. I feel I’ve been very clear on this point.
My problems are with ideologies and politics of our governing bodies.
It’s very odd to have a political conversation on failblog; a place where I generally come to escape the seriousness of the world with humor. So, you can imagine my surprise when I saw that failblog has chosen to enter the political spectrum with their maniacal title to this posting. But hey that makes me a hypocrite right?
You see, JD, when you click “Reply” you don’t communicate with the public, but with the person you’re replying to – unless you make clear that you mean someone else.
Secondly, YOU used FB for a political statement. True, the title of this fail can be seen as biased or whatever, but no one forced you to leave a political comment. You did – if you’d address your concern to the staff (hint: “Contact us”), no one here would have made jokes.
3. Safety.
4. It’s not that odd that there’s a political discussion on FB. We do that quite often. However, it is odd to state that it’s odd after you have contributed a political statement.
I’d like JD to identify these “leftists” who whom he so easily refers. And I’d like to know why he wasn’t so vocal in his complaining when the other side controlled all 3 branches of government while it was “being run into the ground.”
On point number one: fair enough. I can understand that I should have replied to a different poster. My mistake. I will still argue, this is most definitely a public area. If one were to hit reply and the response just went to that person it would no longer be public in which case you’d be correct. Doesn’t matter – point taken – I was wrong – let’s move on…
On point number two: the nature of this post is in fact political. How could I object to a political statement unless I also had a political opinion on the matter myself – I thought that was the point of comments and commentary. The jokes I don’t mind – it’s the politics that I mind – I wouldn’t bother visiting failblog if I couldn’t take a joke .
On the rare occasion that I feel compelled to express my opinion to/on a website, I’d rather do it publicly and not send the website owner’s a complaint – I’m sure the complaint department has better things to do. I get the most valuable from my expression by making my case publicly instead of being ignored by failblog staff.
On point 3 – safety is good – don’t know where else to go with that…
And on point four: it is quite odd to me, and by the reaction to the majority of responses to this post, it appears a lot of other viewers think its odd as well. I may not be as big of an old school patron as yourself, however generally the post don’t involve politics in my roughly 1 year as a viewer…maybe the discussions have, but the original posts haven’t. Furthermore, “FB” didn’t even used to have titles without the word FAIL in them. That changed and now someone is using it as forum for expressing an opinion that seems out of place. Seems very odd to me indeed.
I would also like to thank you for taking the time to respond with more than one word – even if it was in a very cynical high horse way. I love it when remarks start with “You see, JD” – never heard that before so thanks for learning me something.
wow! I’m getting it from all sides today – this is actually turning into a descent conversation. Ok sauerkraut. Nice to meet you. I didn’t realize you knew me during the Bush administration – because I was quite vocal indeed. There are more than two sides ya know. For your request, the leftist are numerous and I don’t have enough space in this text box to identify all of them. You’ll find a good deal of them in the democratic party and if you’re looking for names; off the top of my head: Obama, Biden, and Pelosi.
Okay, serious for a moment:
@Matt way up there^:
Isn’t it a central element of the American credo that everyone is free to speak their mind? Doesn’t that mean, that it is VERY un-American to lable people who don’t agree with oneself “false Americans”? Doesn’t this mean that you, Matt, just made a false American of yourself by saying what you said?
QED.
*stands and applauds AE’s unassailable logic*
*Snickers*
You are calling them a fail because of this? Put your freespeech where your mouth is and allow everyone to speak their mind- even in their footwear. Let freedom ring!
There have been some weak efforts on this site, but this is one of the weakest recently. C’mon, more “forklift fail” and less of this lame stuff!
Not sure what sexual acts have to do with typoed flip flops…
Foot fetish?
Yeah, I was trying to figure out what the tea parties had to do with it, I think it’s a Texas fail. Real sad spoiled a good fail with politics.
I think I’m submitting fail blog fail…
Title fail.

That’ll keep them off, for now.
I like the way Arthur is handling this by using his wits and cunningness to destroy them one by one.
*hands a shiny medal to AE*
No more political commentary from Failblog.org We can get that kind of FAIL from any main stream media and from either side of the political divide.
Comment Win!
That my friends, is how you make a valid point!
Ditto!!!
*Tips hat*
* Lifts tail and pharts *
*claps hands*
Great way to set it, GTHF!
man… TAXES upside down looks like S3XV which looks like SEXY…
Nice political liberal commentary. A littl emore of this and time to un-favorite this site. I want NO politics. Keep your asnine politcial beliefs to yourself.
Now, that is a Deep Thought…
Your name wouldn’t happen to be Jack Handey, would it??
Again sorry, but: Who?
SNL skit.
GRRRR Blogmonster! Let me thank Marius, Godhooray!
Sorry, AE…keep forgetting some of the Failpeeps aren’t from the States…
Forgive me?
NEVER! I shall have my revenge by referencing to German popculture AND I WON’T EXPLAIN!!!
There he goes, with the yelling in his German accent.
*runs and hides under bed*
My husband was born in Germany (his dad was in the Army) and spoke German until he was 5. When he was in the Army, he spent a good portion of his time stationed in Germany. That being said, it won’t bother me a bit, AE…I’m used to it…
I’ll use northern German references then. Even our friends down south won’t understand them.
Talking of German culture, I should be bobbing in to Leeds Christindelmarkt tonight
Hahaha!
What?!? This is an outrage! How dare people not be from the States!
*bristles with rage*
They are SOOOOO un-American!
*avoids the bristles*
A bristly marshmallow. There’s something you don’t see very often.
How does that even work?
It’s like a blowfish.
When panicked or enraged, I inflate to twice my size and all these bristles appear.
Your tophat then looks a little silly, no?
I agreed with everything you said, except when you added the word ‘liberal’. Was that needed? Isn’t your point valid without that adding ‘liberal’? When you add the word ‘liberal’ it made that comment go from good to hypocritical.
Yeah… the addition of “liberal” makes the comment too political. Time to unfavorite yourself.
hear, hear.
What does putting your scrotum in another’s face have to do with that picture? (BTW Texas has no income tax)
WTF!? I don’t really get it…
Not really funny. You almost made your own fail, Failblog.
I am not sure this is a fail. Rather a rather clever political commentary on texas, taxes and flip-flops.
Again, emphasizing the importance of voting for the fails that are fails and leaving these types of fails in the voting pages and off the main page.
Personally, I’ll never recover from the fact that government ministers used our taxes to maintain moats and try to purchase floating islands for ducks.
I loved that little scandal of yours! HIGH-larious, as Dragon would say!
You had to pay for duck bills??
*squeezes*
I think it was a weird way to keep the economy afloat!
*squeeze*
But you do know that the moat maintaining industry would have been in serious trouble without your politicians?
Funny you should mention that.
Companies have been advised not to cancel their christmas parties for fear that party organisers will go out of business. Nevermind the fact that throwing the parties may bankrupt the companies wanting to cancel them due to lack of funds.
Bwahahaha! THAT is a fail!
I can only point out the lowering of taxes for German hotels. Costs us a small fortune. And it’s not like our hotels weren’t doing okay before. Great lobbying, not so great politics.
Whoever wrote the tag line for this photo truly made an epic fail. Besides not being funny, it makes no sense. What do the Tea parties have to do with these flip flops? Hey failblog, get off your soapbox. No one is interested in your political statements, and we’re even less interested in your pathetic attempts to politicize these great pictures and videos. If you continue, I guarantee a website will pop up that categorizes these misguided attempts at pushing an agenda…how about failblogsucks.org?
Teabaggers are such whiners…
Tune in later for our continuing coverage of “angry Americans ranting on Failblog”. We’ll be back after this break.
Wow, brilliant comment! Name calling…how *yawn* original – zzzzz…
win!
thanks, scuah.
Perhaps the person who submitted the picture to FB garnered this lovely flippers at a teabagger rally? That being the case, it’s not FB’s fault. They simply post what people submit. If you are unhappy with that, submit your own crap. Or chew on it.
Refresh, refresh, refresh. And smile, they changed the name of the fail.
♫All my axes live in taxes..♪
You son-of-a-biscuit!
*Two-steps*
“Teabaggers” made a mockery of the real Boston Tea Party – which was a revolt against the British government AND companies favored by the government – exacting unrepresented rule over them (taxes, laws, etc.). And at the same time by accepting the moniker of “Teabaggers” they have made a mockery of themselves. Cheers!
This is 2009, and in American you vote, you have a representative in office, shut up and vote him out if you don’t like what he/she/it does. If you don’t have enough votes, then clearly you aren’t the mainstream in your community. Don’t make a mockery of our history by distorting the meaning of an event, especially one of the many that spurred the birth of our great nation.
with that being said, wtf is politics doing on my “wtf these people are stupid” site?
Good point. But I’m confused by the “he/she/it” part.
That’s how some people refer to Barney Frank. Unfortunate discrimination, imho.
Stupid Brits…..

Anyone else want a cup of tea?
*stirs pot with flip flop*
*starts to hold out cup*
Er- you cleaned that off first, right?
Of course
*squeeze*
Boston Tea Party was a bunch of vandals destroying private property. The cargo of tea was owned by a private company, not the British Government.
we are all aware of this, try reading the post….
“revolt against the British government AND companies favored by the government”
A germanic tribe overran the beaver…
i’m not aware of any tea party protestors who accepted the label of “teabagger”.
WTH… Cant we just have our Fails with out the political BS?
Side Note: Damn the media and the libbies for tying an awesome sexual act to a political phenomenon. Now we cant make any good tea bagging jokes without someone getting offended.
You complain about “political BS” but then cannot resist the infantile urge to add your own.
I’m gonna do it anyway: Put some teabags on your head!
ignorant liberals, no one accepted the term teabaggers it’s the new “postpartisanship” obama brought, don’t aggree with us we’ll smear you with sexual slurs, how dare you not see things the way I do
Obama hasn’t done one post partisan thing YET, it’s no wonder people are protesting, and despite the whining liberals lying about tea PARTY attendees “accepting” the teabaggers slur rewriting history, protest is american as it gets
I’d bet dollars vs donuts he didn’t complain about people protesting Bush (Let me guess, that was different because you didn’t like Bush and that makes protesting him obvious and an ok thing)
Like I said typical liberal, raise taxes, but don’t pay them just check out the new tax evader in charge of the IRS
Nomen est omen.
Teabagging was a sexual term before Fox News started using it to describe the people attending these events. Its not the fault of any legitimate media outlets or the presidents. Blame Glen Beck, and those guys….
I never protested against Bush, and to be honest – I don’t think even he would of made the mistake of calling his followers Teabaggers. Follow your leaders, they are making you look great!
IIRC it was Anderson Cooper of *CNN* that started calling them “teabaggers”; Fox seems to use “tea party protestors” and avoids “teabagger”
BTW, why didn’t anyone pay any attention to or discuss when Obama signed the Equal Pay Act? And in agreement with Yaryar, Fox News has been very pro Republican lately, yet they had no problem using the term. That’s why I found it so funny.
Protesting a ridiculous war = patriotic duty
Protesting a ridiculous level of taxation = patriotic duty
It’s gotta be a two-way street folks.
true.
Don’t Mass with Taxes
Well, if you are going to be derogatory with your headline, then don’t be surprised when people call you out on it. If you want to make fun of people who are trying to secure freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness then so be it. You rip the tea party patriots yet all they want is for you to succeed in life; to be able to worship or not as you choose to do so, to be able to keep the money you earn, to pay fair taxes. It’s a liberal mindset that is completely contrary to that end. But if that’s your thing, you have at it.
Wait… trying to secure freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is completely contrary to liberalism? I guess someone didn’t do their homework, papajon0s1…
Did you read the headline, papajon? There’s nothing political about it. There’s simply the word play between “Texas” in the headline and apparent misspelling of “taxes” on the flip-flops adorned with the Texas flag.
Oh no – all that whining had an effect! They changed the title!
They did?
Lightweights.
An excellent choice on their part in an attempt to be funny without being political.
Even the descrption failz!
Picture by: dunno souce…
GO TAXES
Heheh….FailBlog Headline Fail!
yaryar = typical liberal, just make up his own “facts” like “Teabagging was a sexual term before Fox News started using”, pure nonsense, it’s a derogatory term created by liberal media hacks like anderson cooper to degrade citizens that would dare disagree with him, it’s a sexual slur and it’s not funny
It’s not funny how people like you spew your disinformation as if it was fact
I’m sorry, I’m going to need to tax this comment at a rate of…
*tapping calculator*
6.666%. Please try to get your information straight in the future.
Chico: Hey, I’ve got an uncle who lives in Taxes!

Don’t mess with Taxes.
I don’t know… American flag colored flip flops with the word “Taxes” written on them just seems like commentary about congress and the current administration.
Made in China

this is a photo shop
Oh THE TRAUMA!
I think it’s being spelled phonetically! No really…. imagine wearing a big hat, standing by an oil well, and say out loud “I’m from Taxes.” It works, right? It’s just a spelling problem.
