Wow. Just wow.
The White House released one picture of the two women and it does not appear to have been selected with any kind of special relationship in mind. There is a menacing bunch of pink peonies in the foreground and the angle is most unflattering to Mrs. Brown, who has the air of a woman very much in need of a stiff drink.”
When this administration is through turning friends into enemies, I think we all will need a drink or 10.
How dare Michelle Obama menace Mrs. Brown with pink peonies!
Of course, in the sphere of international relations, it’s serious if a natioal leader has foolish disregard for the sensitivities of diplomatic protocol! God knows, the Bush Administration never risked offending other heads of state.

And let’s consider an earlier President who vomited all over the Japanese Prime Minister.
Or an even earlier President who told flat-out lies to the Pope along the lines of him being on hand to personally liberate the Nazi Death Camps when he had never stepped foot outside of the U.S. during WWII…

And you know, all Obama did was mention once, in a private meeting with Republicans, that maybe they ought not listen to a drug-addled porcine radio talk jock for policy ideas.

Google news searches:
Results 1 – 10 of about 3,934 for tea party.
Results 1 – 1 of about 441 for coal protest.
Biggest tea party appears to be ~400 in St. Loius(local Fox news estimate; organizers say 1500). Estimates of the DC coal plant protest are ~2500. There were probably more coal protesters in DC than all of the teabaggers put together, so why is the coverage so much less?

I got as far in the video as Jason Pye-Hole telling us that “government is supposed to protect our liberties, not take our money.” So, apparently, any member of the US Armed Services should be working for free. Did I get that right?
And Holy Flying Spaghetti Monster, do all of these idiots think everyone else on the planet has forgotten what they have been doing for the last 8 years (or 28 years, if you prefer)? I don’t recall “generational theft” being much used during the Chimpy years, in spite of the fact that he single-handedly doubled the national debt during his term of office.
BTW, Ayn Rand was not only a crackpot, but also not particularly bright, even with regard to her own philosophy. I had occasion to meet her in the 70s because my boss was smitten with her and had enough pull to get her to speak to my department (I was working in the NYC Office of the Mayor at the time).
After a 15-minute lecture on the wonders of Randian philosophy, the laws of nature and economics as she saw them, the necessity for self-sufficiency, the evils of government meddling, and all the twaddle you would expect from her, there was a Q&A session.
So, of course, I, being a smart-ass recent college grad with an Econ degree, asked her how she reconciled her “you get what you deserve because you did (or didn’t) work for it” philosophy with the real world, where people sometimes lose their jobs and businesses because of events beyone their control (e.g., natural disasters, 9/11, etc.). And, being a smart-ass recent college grad with an Econ degree that I was, I asked her in economist-speak — that is, I asked her how her philosophy dealt with “externalities” and “exogenous shocks”.
She had literally nothing to say; she just sat there and stared at me. So I repeated the question in plain English, at which point she changed the subject. I concluded that either she wasn’t very bright to begin with, was suffering from senility, or both.

Ok, it looks to me everyone needs a definition of “feeding the trolls”. When you discuss the topic they want to discuss, that’s feeding the trolls. When you engage them on their terms, that’s feeding the trolls. DON’T DO THAT.
Insulting them, ignoring them, posting recipes, whatever—that’s not feeding the trolls. Bascially, don’t encourage them to continue—don’t give them a hook with which to continue.
In so many words, calling them a cheeto-bloated wankstain only gives them so many options before they run out of things that amuse them.

Like I said, “The Anointed One” is too much of a coward to accept Rush Limbaugh’s challenge. His White House Chief of Staff even refered to Michael Steele as being “paralyzed with fear” for refusing to stand up to Rush Limbaugh.
Thus “The Anointed One’s” own chief of staff has implied that if Obama refuses to accept Limbaugh’s challenge it is because he is paralyzed with fear.
It looks to me like “The Anointed One” was put between a rock and a hard place with the help of his own staff.

What would be really cool is if someone in the presidential team made a mistake with the calendar and double-booked Obama on St. Pat’s Day, so he was supposed to be welcoming Irish PM Brian Cowen to the White House at the same time as meeting some prominent advocate of homosexual marriage rights. Whichever appointment he kept, he would risk offending the other one.
Then we could say that Obama was caught between Sodom and Begorrah.

The troll may be right about there being no market for liberal talk radio, but not for the reasons the troll believes. Talk radio is perfect for wingnuts, because the format is perfect for reinforcing the retarded beliefs that wingnuts already hold– hence the word “dittohead.” Liberals don’t need to have the talking point du jour rammed down their throats, nor do they need their opinions validated by an Oxy-huffing lardass.
Plus, let’s be honest, talk radio sucks. Right-wing radio sucks, left-wing radio sucks, sports talk radio sucks… The format of “guy rants then takes calls from listeners” is about as tired as it gets. And whenever something sucks, it is invariably dominated by wingnuts (NASCAR, Christian Rock, Contemporary Country Music).

But the only ACTUAL plans shown are Obama’s.
Words like “Leaving” and “Timetable” also make appearances.

Matt, why exactly did you expect Obama to be anything other than a centrist Democrat? That’s what he’s always been and what he always will be. There isn’t a true progressive Democrat on the planet who would ever be able to win the White House. Right now Obama’s pragmatic centrism is kicking the crap out of the right wing’s unhinged, utopian conservatism. Obama is taking steps to get us out of Iraq, which is a hell of a lot more than President McCain would have done, and that’s going to have to do for now.

Tossed Vampire Bat with Iced Hoop Cheeses
All you do is get vampire bat and put mustard and sage on top of it before burritoing it. That – putting those seasonings on top – is the secret. Stretch the meat, then put it on top of some lion stomach. Put hoop cheese (at all grocery stores, make sure to get this hoop cheese too) over top of it. Put it in the microwave for 90 seconds. You can add to it whatever you want. Some people put a layer of familial Limburger on it and just eat it like that. I chop up legume, condensed milk and pineapple and put them on top, as well as common dolphin thorax. WARNING: You will never be able to order vampire bat at a restaurant or bar ever again, as they simply won’t measure up to the ones you can make at home.

Rand meets grunge needs to exist. Nothing is more DIY than capitalism. Especially illegal capitalism. Grey market trademark infringement will be a requirement. Never leave a place again. “I’m Galting” or “I’m going to Galt” need to replace it. Make smoking sexy again. “XX & XY dig scars. Have a Marb today and buy new Marb ultralungs tomorrow. Taste the pleasure.” New better tautologies are demanded by today’s consumer. A is A is all well and good, but what how about Punk is Punk. You either know it is or it isn’t. Known Unknowns, And so on. We could turn this economy around people!

pez: renegade supercapitalism IS the next wave. that’s why black americans are natural republicans. the whole hip hop culture from jay z and big papa back to nwa is predicated on the idea of radical, sometimes violent, entrepreneurship. that’s why the leftie loons can mock all the want–in the next 20 years there will be a gestalt shift.
re: your suggestion about “galting” a room, heh. my friends and i already kind of do this. if we’re going to skip out on a meeting or something we say “i’m gonna clinton the meeting this afternoon” (a reference to slick willie dodging the vietnam draft).

Can’t it be both? Ironic and serious at the same time. Postmodernism is probably the worst/best thing to have happen to your thought process.
But then you remind people of Clinton and it’s sad or angry emotions. Going Galt is all gravy. Plus we all know about the draft dodging, but some people still haven’t read Atlas Shrugged, Anthem, or We.
Also more Randism. So they are basically hoping that everyone who played Bioshock went with the kill the little sisters option. Since that is clearly the most Randian thing imaginable

Somebody needs to remind these rightards each and every day that Ayn Rand hated Jesus as much as she hated the poor! But maybe it’s a sign that their true colors are coming through after all–the veneer of hypocritical religiosity has finally been cast aside to reveal the true object of their worship: money.
As always,

SomeNYGuy,
I have no doubt that Orwell’s Animal Farms “rules” were inadvertently a critique of the way the Church was making loopholes in Jesus’ teachings. The parishoners learn what they are taught and if one day “Four legs good, two legs bad,” becomes “Four legs good, two legs better,” then they’ll swallow it, hook line and sinker.
But not without a fight of some sort.

Dear Religious Right,
You have nothing to worry about. The GOP would never ever take you for granted. The things they do for you, they’re totally honest. They believe in it 100%, it is totally not some kind of lip service. I mean, the GOP honchos know that the only way they can suceed is with your support – something completely dependent on selecting only candidates you guys support.
Hope this helps!
With all due respect,

the religious right should be on their knees chewing gum from the bottom of my tassel loafers. believing in free markets and radical capitalism doesn’t mean i believe in invisible monsters in the sky or martyr types with bdsm crucifixion fantasies. i don’t speak for the official republican party at all so there’s no need for me to be diplomatic. i want to get rid of taxes and minimum wage and open up markets–it’s up to leadership to figure out how to get those dumbasses to vote with us without giving them the keys to the kingdom.

True story: a gay friend of mine went to see this with a straight friend. Said straight friend told him that he was going to ask him, every time naked boobies showed up, if he liked them and what he thought of them.
Gay friend estimates the man junk to boobs ratio in Watchmen to be about 40:1.

Atlas Shrugged is stoopid moronic garbaggio – and I haven’t even read it. Let me just state the following again:
Engineering is a profession – it’s a calling that the practitioners take seriously. Here’s the Creed that Galt, as an engineer was suppose to live by:
http://www.nspe.org/Ethics/CodeofEthics/Creed/creed.html
As a Professional Engineer, John Galt’s duty – to HIMSELF as well as to the profession, is to acknowledge that “Objectivism” is a morally bankrupt philosophy.
As a human being, John Galt’s duty – to HIMSELF as well as to the species, is to acknowledge that “Objectivism” is a morally bankrupt philosophy.

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that because someone disagrees with something, they must not have read it or be familiar with it. In a lot of cases, being familiar with something/reading something is exactly what *causes* thinking people to disagree with it.
In my own personal case, reading the bible and going to church contributed significantly to me becoming an atheist. So read your bible, troll.

The ENTIRE STORY is based on A HUGE FUCKING PLOT HOLE. If John Galt really is an engineer, then his behavior is totally at odds with his profession. He denies the Creed of his calling. In the name of “being true to himself”.
The only way anyone could have any sympathy for fairy princess Galt is if THEY WERE TOTALLY IGNORANT OF THE PROFESSION OF ENGINEERING.
