Life in the Moe Lane

ABOVE: The suave and debonair Moe Lane relaxes in a sea
of geranium-scented bubbles with a glass of Two Buck Chuck


It probably goes without saying that a child named Moe doesn’t start the race with everyone else and can be expected to have some, euphemistically speaking, developmental difficulties.* And, of course, parents that would name their kid Moe probably named his brothers Larry and Curly just to make things worse. So it’s not surprising that the ultimate result of this poor choice in child naming would be an addled and dimwitted adult with an enhanced sense of victim-hood and a bad attitude.

Sadlynauts, meet Red State’s Moe Lane!

Seven months since the Wasilla Church Burning … and no arrests; no updates; and no real indication that the federal government is taking seriously an organized attempt to murder mothers and children by setting their church on fire.

Of course, that might be because there are no leads. But Moe, who became awful smart watching the TeeVee, knows that all crimes can be solved. In point of fact, the FBI keeps a gothy-looking girl in some secret basement lab in DC. She can solve any crime. If they had just brought her a cinder from the fire, she would have sniffed it, typed a number into a computer and, the next thing you know, there would be the arsonists driver’s license on her screen!

So, of course, Obama knows exactly who the arsonist is and is protecting him because he’s a Democrat. In fact, Obama is sending the arsonist to arson school so he won’t fuck up the next time he tries to kill Christian children and women while praying.

The response to this should not break down along partisan political lines; I will be pleasantly surprised if this turns out to be the case.

Well, of course, it will break down along partisan lines because Democrats are actively in favor of burning down churches, with or without people in them. In fact, the only churches that Democrats don’t favor burning down are churches where human sacrifices, black masses and gay marriages are performed.

And how many, he would add, are there, who might have done exceeding well in the world, had not their characters and spirits been totally depressed and Nicodemus’d into nothing? … That was your son called Judas,—the forbid and treacherous idea, so inseparable from the name, would have accompanied him through life like his shadow, and, in the end, made a miser and a rascal of him, in spite, Sir, of your example.

    It took a couple of years to catch the arsonist that was running around DC a couple of years ago. Arson is a particularly hard crime to solve (since lots of the evidence gets burned up).

    @Rusty: Maybe he’s hoping it’s a hate crime and (Trike Force member that he is) is so intellectually dishonest he’s using the fact that Christianity, as a religion, is protected under the statute to argue for investigation.

    So, liberals say Palin is nutsy coo-coo and her church is firebombed and it is liberals fault? But conservatives say abortion is like the Holocaust and that doctors are baby-killers and then those doctors are murdered but this is in no way linked to conservatives?

    Is that about it?

    @Rusty: Maybe he’s hoping it’s a hate crime and (Trike Force member that he is) is so intellectually dishonest he’s using the fact that Christianity, as a religion, is protected under the statute to argue for investigation.

    Well, if it’s a hate crime against Christians, it SHOULD be investigated as such. Ironically, the federal legislation Moe derisively refers to would help empower the feds to investigate crimes like these. From Holder’s testimony, which Moe links:

    “Although we at the Federal level are strongly committed to hate crimes enforcement, we recognize that most such crimes in the United States are investigated and prosecuted by other levels of government. The pending legislation would assist State, local, and tribal jurisdictions by providing funds and technical assistance to investigate and prosecute hate crimes.”

    Is NCATF still around or did W get around to dismantling it? Anyways,

    The Task Force’s arrest rate of 36.2% continues to be more than twice the national average for arson cases.

    It is ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING that no arrests, convictions, executions and pogroms enacted against all groups remotely asssociated with the perpetrators haven’t already been concluded by this point in time.

    “And, of course, parents that would name their kid Moe probably named his brothers Larry and Curly just to make things worse. ”

    That’s unfair. Mr and Mrs Lane probably meant to call their son Tristan, but there was a mix up with the birth certificate.

    There can be no hate in a crime when conservatives are the targets. Don’t you know that?

    Local crime, local law enforcement. Though, perhaps the AK state police could’ve helped move the investigation along more quickly if the competent ones among them hadn’t been fired by Governor Fewer-Brains-Means-More-Room-For-The-Holy-Spirit for sniffing too close to her corruption.

  24. Dragon-King Wangchuck said,

    July 6, 2009 at 18:26

    From the Moe Lane’s source article:

    Anytime a church is attacked, it is an attack on our constitutional Freedom of Religion, and the press has an obligation to cover the story, and hopefully cast light on the vile subjects responsible for the crime. They have this obligation, regardless of the race, creed, or even party affiliation of the church’s congregants.

    Right on! I mean where were the ulta-liberal CNN or <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28213500/"OlbermaNBC? Doesn’t this count as news that’s fit to print? Lie-beral BIAS!!!!screamty-one11!

    Anyways, does that mean that Benjamin Haskell should be thrown into Guantanamo?

  25. tigrismus said,

    July 6, 2009 at 18:26

    Huh, and the CNN article quotes the reverend of the church stating outright there were no kids in the building, so Mr. “people are uninformed about this!” is uninformed. SHOCKING.

    Apparently the ATF has been involved since the earliest days of the investigation. What evidence is there that it’s not being taken seriously, the fact that they don’t hold daily pressers discussing a case so cold they’ve been begging for leads since January?

  34. Basharov said,

    July 6, 2009 at 18:47

    Church arson has been a federal crime since 1996: The Church Arson Prevention Act, 18 U.S.C. 247, prohibits damaging or destroying religious property, or interfering with religious exercise through force or the threat of force, in a manner that affects interstate commerce.

    There’s no problem in finding the “affects interstate commerce” requirement, so the F.B.I. has jurisdiction over this crime. As someone pointed out above, it has been only seven months since the fire-bombing, and arson is a difficult crime to trace, so it seems unlikely that Holder and the D.O.J. are dragging their feet on investigating this crime. As usual, the paranoid geniuses behind the Red State Trike Force are looking for enemies to slay where there are none.

  35. St. Trotsky, Pope-in-Avignon said,

    July 6, 2009 at 18:50

    Y’know, it’s kind of cute how they have to desperately search for a Democratic conspiracy to justify the fact that criminals actually get away with it more often than not, percentage-wise.

    Most of the citizens of Wasillia are obviously hard at work making and distributing meth to do something deranged like burning down a church. It just doesn’t make sense. Unless you consider the whereabouts of the Alaska Democratic Party — who were probably somewhere in Alaska!

    Well, if Moe really cares . . . . *

    April 7th, 2009. Meanwhile, investigators continue to search for clues to the cause of a Dec. 12 fire that did an estimated $1 million worth of damage to Wasilla Bible Church.

    Wasilla police investigator Ruth Josten said she is working on the case with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

    The federal agency is testing gasoline found at several places around the church for any specific additives, Josten said. She’s also following any tips, though she wouldn’t say how many have come in or how recently.

    “Time will be on our side,” she said. “You have to be willing to set a case aside, do some work on it, take in everything that anybody calls you with. An overheard conversation — sometimes it’s that minor of a situation.”

    Another fire considered suspicious hits Valley

    The AP article that Dragon-King W cites clearly tied the arson to homo terrorists:

    The 1,000-member evangelical church was the subject of intense scrutiny after Ms. Palin was named Senator John McCain’s running mate. Early in her campaign, the church was criticized for promoting in a Sunday bulletin a Focus on the Family “Love Won Out Conference” in Anchorage. The conference promised to “help men and women dissatisfied with living homosexually understand that same-sex attractions can be overcome.”

    The fire was set at the entrance of the church and moved inward as a small group of women were working on crafts, Chief Steele said. The group was alerted to the fire by an alarm.

    Case closed. The homos done it.

  64. Mrs Tilton said,

    Everyone should read Moe’s source material that actor212 brought up earlier, because it’s awesome in its awesomeness. The author cites several possible reasons for the fire, including this one:

    The Wasilla Bible Church has an all-white congregation (While the oft race-baiting press is always quick to cover a predominantly black church being fire-bombed in an attempt to re-inflame the hostilities of the civil rights era, coverage of white victims in the very Republican state of Alaska may evoke sympathy for the wrong side of the aisle.
    http://www.examiner.com/x-5919-Norfolk-Crime-Examiner~y2009m6d11-Why-did-the-press-ignore-the-firebombing-of-Sarah-Palins-church

    It only gets better after that. Clearly, some weapons-grade wingnuttery.

  70. commie atheist said,

    July 6, 2009 at 20:57

    Actually, that’s one of the reasons for the massive media coverup of the crime. Here’s one of the possible reasons for the arson:

    …during the months after Palin was chosen as John McCain’s running mate, teams of Democratic Party operatives swarmed the Wasilla area in an attempt to uncover any dirt that could be used against the Governor.

    Could it be that a few of the more zealous Democrat operatives stayed-on and took their devotion to party a step further, and actually set the blaze?

    Yes, those Democratic party operatives, upset about being unable to dig up any dirt on Palin, decided to firebomb her church. The ability to come up with that kind of connection leaves me speechless.

    Back again after an extended absence last week…we were celebrating the 1,000,000th gay abortion since Malcolm X Obama stole the election. Then I saw that “Best Thread EVAH” thread with 600+ comments.

    It really was the best thread evah! Reading the normal troll-filled post leaves one feeling bloated, cranky, out-of-sorts, with a bad taste in the mouth. This one was different. It was like gorging yourself on bottle after bottle of the most delicious Coke made with cane sugar like you get in the Caribbean or Europe. Refreshing, fun, engaging, and entertaining. It should must be in the top 10 S,N! list.

    Long story short: Most drew literally dozens and at one of the few that did draw more than a thousand people (in TX) Sen. Cornyn and Gov. Perry got booed by the Baggers as being “part of the problem” (Cornyn for voting for Bush’s bank bailout, Perry for supporting a TX toll-roads project).

    In defense of the coon-chortler, the fact that there was 8 minutes between the offensive remark and the approving response (and that previous to the offensive remark, the same person said something equally nutty but not racist) does not really convince me of her guilt. What with Facebook being all ajaxy these days, it’s perfectly possible to have it open for over 8 minutes before writing a response to a particular thread.

    It still doesn’t speak well of her, of course, but neither does being the vice president of the Young Republicans.

    Yes, but you can always delete a comment on a thread, or even the entire post. The fact that she left it up either means that a) she thought it was okay, or b) that she completely lacks the political acumen to realize how bad it would look. Maybe both.

    On our way back from the 1,000,000 Gay Abortion Celebration, we came across one of these here teabagging protests in person. It was in the medium-sized, red-necky town of Liberty, pop roughly 10,000, in upstate NY. I estimate 150 people there.

    I laughed. I cried. I took pictures. Then I laughed at them as I drove off.

    What a bunch of dumb clucks. There were far, far more people at the July 4th parade/street fair in the center of that town.

    Interestingly, the Teabagging Party organizing page on the Intertoobz lists the mess as being led by a “Richard Yaun”, and it was right across from a street called “Yaun Avenue”. This illustrated the grassrooty nature of the thing….

    Before troofie goes all LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL on us I feel it is my duty to point you towards a Stephen Fry Speech I’m reading. I made it to the 4th paragraph and met:

    Acquit me of false modesty when I state that I take it as certain that when Mr. D’Ancona, the Spectator’s sappy young editor, announced to his readers (and I dare say to his staff) that he had chosen me to deliver the inaugural lecture there were many horrified screeches of startled disbelief and agonized howls of apoplectic protest. Surely persons such as I are exactly what the Spectator holds itself foursquare against? Am I not just about the Platonic form, paradigm and pattern card of everything the magazine was put on this earth to dispraise, damn and destroy? I am a crew member of that ship of fools, the sneering liberal elite, a cheerleader of the chattering classes, a loathsome Labour luvvie, a champagne socialist a – goddammit – a celebrity, a twittering celebrity dripping with the sickening syrup of popular culture, political correctness and nauseating kneejerk liberalism that is the leading symptom if not the primary cause of our national decay. It is as if all nature conspired to make a living suppurating mass, a walking purulent bolus compounded of all the poison and pus that oozes and weeps from the sores of today’s Britain and gave it legs, life and a name. Stephen Fry. Lo. Gaze upon him. Know your enemy. And it is he, he of all people, who has been chosen to give the inaugural Spectator Lecture. Eheu fugaces: o tempora o mores. Ichabod. The glory is departed.

    As many as you like, as long as they’re all different somethings. And you have to make sure that the verb ‘something’ agrees with the pronoun ‘something’, or people will make mock of your grammar.

    And it came to pass that a candidate did appear from the lands of the north, yea, even unto a hockey mom.

Behold, for the images you record of the fruit of my loins shall be iconic, yea, even unto the love of a hockey mom for her learning-disabled son.

    And she did say, Behold, those who desecrate the sacred icon of this child, with their whoring, and their priestcrafts, and their strivings, and their secret combinations, even unto them shall be poured out the punishment of God, or at least of my lawyers. And there shall be gnashing of teeth, and sufferings, and inveighings, and casting out of spirits, and those little Mexican lollipops with the chiles in them, and ponies.

    And it came to pass that all of these prophesyings, which were prophesized by the prophet, came to pass. Behold, here’s a few pages of Isaiah to keep Cowdery busy while I think of something else about Jewish injuns.

    Moe “Lane” sounds like a fakeronym to me and it’s not hard to see why he’d want to do that.

    She can solve any crime. If they had just brought her a cinder from the fire, she would have sniffed it

    But her sense of taste is such that she’ll distinguish with her tongue
    The subtleties a spectrograph would miss.

    Geez Gilchrist, animate that.

    Beyond my talents, sadly.

    I may have to take a, er, poke at that a bit later. I can’t seem to find the original shitter pic, though. I can fudge something, I’m sure.

    Search for “outhouse seat” on flickr, title is “Sears Awaits”. I’d rather there not be a link coming right from here because the image is copyrighted, so I’m a horrible thief for using it, and I definitely can’t recommend that you download it and make a hilarious animation out of it, wink wink.

    The hand is, of course, God’s own from The Creation of Adam.
