The Old Cow

  • This joke about Nancy Pelosi being an old cow is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life. It’s particularly funny to a young, hunky stud like myself.

‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

    Texas’ gay marriage ban may have banned all marriages

    By Dave Montgomery | Fort Worth Star-Telegram | via McClatchy DC

    AUSTIN — Texans: Are you really married?

    Maybe not.

    Barbara Ann Radnofsky, a Houston lawyer and Democratic candidate for attorney general, says that a 22-word clause in a 2005 constitutional amendment designed to ban gay marriages erroneously endangers the legal status of all marriages in the state.

    The amendment, approved by the Legislature and overwhelmingly ratified by voters, declares that “marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman.”

    But the troublemaking phrase, as Radnofsky sees it, is Subsection B, which declares:

    “This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage.”

    Architects of the amendment included the clause to ban same-sex civil unions and domestic partnerships. But Radnofsky, who was a member of the powerhouse Vinson & Elkins law firm in Houston for 27 years until retiring in 2006, says the wording of Subsection B effectively “eliminates marriage in Texas,” including common-law marriages.

    She calls it a “massive mistake” and blames the current attorney general, Republican Greg Abbott, for allowing the language to become part of the Texas Constitution. Radnofsky called on Abbott to acknowledge the wording as an error and consider an apology. She also said that another constitutional amendment may be necessary to reverse the problem.

Part of that whole Evil Scary Bitchqueen archetype that they just can’t fucking let go of, even though their own ranks are stocked to the larders with ‘em. But what’s a little cognitive dissonance between friends.

    It never ceases to amaze me how easily these “people” are amused. I, on the other hand need something more substantial, like, “Palin/Some Other Meathead- 2012″ to really tickle my fancy. Unlike this “old cow joke”, that one is current and good for the future, to be enjoyed for the next 3 years (at least). And, ATTS, dammit!

    From teh comments:

    I was wondering how old that joke was, so I tried googling “the old cow is dead” — one link I found made the joke about Anna Bligh, who is an Australian Labor Party figure. The joke fits Pelosi much better, since Bligh is about 49 and Pelosi sometimes looks as old as Martha Raye, denture wearer.

    Nancy Pelosi is 69. Heh.

    A nice though OT example of creative misprision, which I feel obliged to pass on:

    Nick Allen, in the Daily Torygraph, asserts that “Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America’s Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.”

    There is no source for the assertion, and a cursory browse of the Interducts turns up no source more primary than the Torygraph (or Allen by name). Given that one role of the newspaper in question within the Murdoch empire has traditionally been to print bullshit that can then be cited as authoritative in other journals within the stable, I am going for the “Made up from whole cloth” explanation until further evidence comes along.

    Naturally, National Review reprints the story as an example of how political correctness suppresses important information (h/t Whiskey Fire). According to the inventive reading of one K. Lopez, “This happened at Walter Reed Medical Center, years before he would find himself at Fort Hood.”
    Sadly, even within the fact-limited confines of Allen’s original narrative, he gives no date for the alleged lecture, other than that it occurred during Hasan’s tenure at WRMC, “where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July”. It is almost as if Ms Lopez’s expectations of a shamefully long history of neglected red flags have blinded her to the words in front of her eyes.

    I am eagerly awaiting the next re-telling of this story, once it has been given more artistic verisimilitude by even more corroborative detail.

    Slightly-OT, one of the guys commenting on the “old cow” joke is still working the “His last name’s really SOETORO!” angle. Have any of them explained why they think Soetoro is any blacker or more Muslim than Obama? Even if he did change his name, it’s not like he changed it to Anderson or Smith to hide his ethnicity, or whatever they’re claiming.

    once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.

    Wouldn’t you love to see the abstract for this lecture? “In this work we show that 3-4-cyclokinase can reduce symptoms of suicidal ideation in some patient populations. Thus, all infidels must be beheaded. ALSO”

    John Boehner was touring the countryside in a chauffeur-driven car. Suddenly, a huge orange lizard jumps out into the road, they hit it full on, and the car comes to a stop. Boehner, in his usual charming manner, says to the chauffeur: ‘You get out and check – you were driving.’

    The chauffeur gets out, checks, and reports that the animal is dead but it was old.

    ‘You were driving; go and tell the farmer,’ says Boehner.

    Two hours later, the chauffeur returns wearing a kaffia, hair ruffled with a big grin on his face.

    ‘My God, what happened to you?’ asks Boehner.

    The chauffeur replies: ‘When I got there, the farmer gave me an ACORN tattoo, the wife performed a Wiccan ritual and the son made love to me. Then we had forced gay abortions ’

    ‘What on earth did you say?’ asks Boehner. ‘I just knocked on the door and when it was answered, I said to them: ‘I’m John Boehner’s chauffeur, and I’ve just killed the old orange lizard.’

    Sarah Palin was touring the countryside in a chauffeur-driven car. Suddenly, a leathery cougar jumps out into the road, they swerve at the last moment, just barely missing it – but the cougar is apparently completely bonkers as it stays right there on the road, staring the limo down. Palin, in her usual charming manner, asks to the chauffeur: ‘Are thems good eatin’?’ as she rolls down the window, rifle in hand.

    I’ve been to the American Gothic house – it’s in Eldon, Iowa, and these days, they have one of those cutouts of the famer and his wife standing out in front, so the few tourists who might drive by can pose with their heads in the cutouts. And by the time you get down to city hall, someone will have called the woman who works there to report on the state license plates of the cars that were parked in front of the house. It’s real Mayberry RFD, all the way.

    Now, the DFH lie-bruls do a similar thing when they point out the hypocrisy of a gay-hating Republican fundie minister being found dead in two greasy wetsuits with a dildo up his ass. The difference being that the fundie dildo lover doesn’t pose for magazine covers in flagrante delicto.

    There is no source for the assertion…

    The story originally aired on NPR, by Daniel Zwerdling, based on first person accounts. It happened on “grand rounds”, where the doctor giving the lecture has the latitude to discuss (nearly) anything.

    OK, according to the link, Hasan meant that this (begeading, oil pouring etc.) is what happens to unbelievers in Hell, not what should be done to them on Earth.

    Still sick and twisted (and we weren’t exactly in doubt that Hasan is a sick, twisted fuck), but in that context it’s not too far removed from the crap believers in that other popular desert religion subscribe to. But then it doesn’t have that jihady terroristy yumminess the pundit class are longing for if you look at it that way.

    Yeah. As a mostly normal, rational, non-bedwetting adult human being, I am more inclined to question this guy’s colleagues and the military for not being more pro-active in weeding him out and getting him serious psychiatric treatment.

    I work in the medical field and know how insular and self-protective physicians can be, and I also know that the military is about 100 times worse. I think we should be thinking those problems, not ZOMG JIHAD. But that would require thought and self-reflection, and we all know that wingnuts can’t stand that shit.

    Zwerdling of NPR has done some really good reporting on this. Those of you who are really interested in the story should search for “Zwerdling Hasan” on the NPR site.

    This morning NPR reported that they were in posession of a fitness report on Hasan from when he was a Captain that painted him as a bad psychiatrist and a bad officer. The report basically concluded that he was likely to do harm to his patients. How he continued to work with patients is a mystery and needs to be investigated. There were plenty of dots to connect; less dots than paint-by-numbers in fact.

    I’ve poked around a little, and it looks like it’s a fucking bureaucratic nightmare to get rid of a military doctor (much, much more difficult than getting rid of a civilian doctor). Why they couldn’t have at least made him to submit to psychiatric treatment is beyond me. This seems like more of a fuck-up in military culture than in medical culture.

    The report basically concluded that he was likely to do harm to his patients.

    One important qualification: they meant mental harm. They didn’t think he’d do physical harm, and he’d been shunted into a role in which he didn’t interact with patients.

    The military certainly didn’t address the problem but given how short staffed they are for head shrinkers, even if Hasan could pick up some of the administrative load, that might have freed up those better suited for caring for patients.

    Not a great decision by a long shot, but there’s a saying in the Army: “Fuck up, move up.”

    From the old jokes recycling bin:

    One day George W was having a beer with Barack Obama (I know, I know, it’s a joke–go with it) and George confided that he was having trouble “satisfying” Laura. The stress of office had taken its toll on his performance, and he was worried.

    Obama said “Here’s what I do: every night, before I go to bed, I take my pecker out and whack it up against the bedpost several times, as hard as I can. This toughens things up, and believe me, I’ve never had any complaints!

    So that night, when George was sure that his wife was safely asleep, he crawled down to the foot of the bed, pulled out his little pud and, feeling slightly foolish, began slapping it against the bedpost.

    The noise woke Laura, and she turned over sleepily, and said, “Barack? Is that you?”

    George W. Bush was traveling through Vermont and stopped to talk to a local farmer.

    “How large of an acreage do you cultivate?” Bush asked.

    “Oh, it’s pretty big,” the Vermonter replied. “My farm extends for about a hundred yards in that direction and for nearly a hundred-twenty yards in that. And how large an acreage do you handle?”

    Bush smiled.

    “Back home,” he said, “I have a ranch with my house located at one end. I can get into my truck at the house in the morning, turn the ignition key, step on the gas, and by the end of the day I still won’t have reached the other end.”

    The Vermont farmer nodded sympathetically. “Yeah, that’s tough. I once had a truck like that, too.”

    Bush replies “Really? I had an entire administration like that.”
