  • What about building a pork product store next to that new mosque in New York City? Isn’t that the coolest idea ever? Doing that is so not this or this.

    Gee, Jonah, while you’re at it, why don’t you just drop that load you’ve been carrying around in your pants right there in front of the door of the mosque. That’ll show ‘em!!

    Seriously? The Doughmeister’s sporting wood about a place that sells pork products? Is he trying to set some kind of landspeed record for jokes that write themselves?

    And how about all them Keeeristian churches anywhere NEAR Oklahoma? Were those stopped out of deference? What’s that? Christianity had nothing to do with McVeigh’s motives? The motives were anti-gubbmint so it’s cool, amirite? And besides, it was one lone nut (and anti-gubbmint at that!!!11!!one!!!1!) so it’s totes not the same.

    We’re playing numbers games now? And you can only go back 10 years for religious involvement in motives, no bringing up that damn Inquisition or any other such nonsense?!?!?

    There are maybe three truly kosher delis in all of Manhattan. Too much demand for pork, bacon, cheese on salami, et cetera, et cetera…

    A strip club/gay bar with many pork dishes on the menu (and elsewhere) might work just fine. Bonus: They could give away puppies!

    Oh, no no no. I’m staying in this here boat.

    Meh. Doughload just cuts and pastes Gutfeld and slaps this on the bottom:

    “Update: So many great minds out there. Numerous readers say they wanted to open a strip club across the street. Others: A pork store (like Satriales in the Sopranos). I for one don’t see why you have to pick just one. A strip club/gay bar with many pork dishes on the menu (and elsewhere) might work just fine. Bonus: They could give away puppies!”

    And no, I am not interested in who or what else Jonah slaps on the bottom.

    Really. DNW.

    1. Open a strip club that sells pork and gives away puppies.

    2. Deal with multiple health-code violations, workplace injuries from platform-shoe-on-pigs-blood slippage, and puppy-consumed missing pork.

    3. Touch thumb to nose, wiggle fingers at Muslims.

    I believe my first encounter with SadlyNo! was when they were mocking Jonah’s endeavor to come up with a theme song for ASW. (This may have been the genesis of the Cat Viking video of Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song). What was that? Six years ago?

    Trig is surely maturing at a faster rate than these losers.

    Wonkette has one of their best article summary intro’s I’ve seen:

    Most Americans correctly believe that the Christ-child was born 400 years ago in a shitty barn behind Jethro’s Dogfight Shack in Arkansatucky, Missibama. Lo, betwixt her mighty labor pains, his unwed 14-year-old mother (who was just a little bit older than the average first-time mama in today’s South) said to her 20-year-old pervert fiance, “Um, it was God who done gave me the babytimes!” And her fiance, being stupid, said, “I believe you. I’ll be at the carport out back now, forever, listening to Papa Roach.” Then everyone said racist things and rewrote all the schoolbooks to reflect the fact that our nation’s greatest scholar-president was not in fact Thomas Jefferson, but Levi Johnston. And this is the story told in churches from sea to shining sea every Santa Day.

    Of course, as I always say, John 3:16 v2: “For God so loved the world that he knocked up Joseph’s young fiancee.”

They’d be just as pissed off if somebody was going to build a gay bar next to Ground Zero, right? Isn’t the gay bar next to the mosque also close enough to Ground Zero to be equally provoking, or do the Muslim cooties totally cancel the gay cooties, so we’re only supposed to detect the insult to the Muslims (YAY) and not the insult to the victims of 9/11 (BOO)?

    You know, I think that would be just the thing for these inexperienced ignorant fools to invest their Wingnut welfare dollars in!

    Why shouldnt’ they spend their money on extremely expensive lower Manhattan real estate? And also invest their money in a business license, health department license for food service, not to mention the various compliances with liquor licensing and nightclub ordinance compliance?

    Of course, in a neighborhood that’s basically a place for office workers, where there’s little night-life nor residential development, a night club and charcuterie may not suceed, but what they heck? Why would you need a successful business model when your main goal is to offend some people you don’t like?

    Since Manhattan-based Muslim-Americans are probably already pretty exposed to Teh Ghey, alcohol purveyors and stores that sell pork products, it’s not likely that people who visit the Cordoba Center are even going to notice, but what the heck?

    maybe they can get a few curious tourists and a handful of office workers buying sandwiches before the entire enterprise goes broke.

    Yep, opening up a business for the purpose of offending the people who might frequent it – a hilarious affirmation of free market principles.

    I think it’d be great if they put all their hard-earned wingnut welfare dollars into a poorly-conceived enterprise in some of the most expensive commercial real estate in the country, especially a type of business that would require complicated and expensive liciensing (health dept., liquor, etc.) and compliance with stringent regulations and demand a very expensive insurance policy.

    Especially if it was an enterprise conceived soley for the purpose of achieving a negative reaction from its neighbors. They’ll be raking in the bucks with that!

    That’s a perfect illustration in the wing nut approach to free market principles!

I don’t exactly have a hair-trigger temper, but I suspect that if I had the President’s job, I would have started looking longingly at clock towers after the 432nd filibuster. But this? Yelling at your own side in a time when you need all the votes you can get? I can’t wrap my head around this thing at all. Maybe he was high.

    The closest analogue I can come up with is the time my high-school English teacher completely lost it in class and started complaining that “You all just want to have FUN!” before storming out. In her case, it was a genuine nervous breakdown and we didn’t see her until the following September. I wonder if Gibbs will soon “choose to spend more time with his family.”

    I meant that maybe he only said it because he was high. That this is how the White House views the left has been clear since Rahm Emmanual made fun of Trig Palin. But a guy with a job like that should be able to think this sort of thing and prevent it from coming out of his mouth.

    Hell, ANY adult should be able to think things without letting them out of his mouth. It’s especially strange when all “the left” has ever done is whined at him, all the while “the center” (Presidents Lieberman, Nelson, Snowe, Collins, Bayh…) keeps pulling away his football.

    My point here is that Gutfeld’s point is stupid because what he’s suggesting isn’t offensive at all, and Goldberg’s elaboration is stupid because he takes a non-offensive suggestion and turns it into a deliberately offensive provocation. Acceptance and support of homosexuality is a liberal value, but going into a kosher deli and demanding a ham and cheese sandwich is offensive to everyone but anti-semites. Liberals would prefer if religious people (of whatever stripe) would be more tolerant and open toward homosexuality, but I don’t think there’s liberals demanding that orthodox Jews open their hearts to oyster shooters.

    I think that should be our new strategy: “why are you against gay rights? you know who else hates gays? evil mooslim terrorists”, “why do you support off-shore drilling? you know who else drills for oil? Ay-rabs”, “why are you unconcerned about global warming? do you know where it’s really hot? Arabia, that’s where”

    Well said.

    I, also, really hope they carry through and open a gay bar. I foresee two possible outcomes;

    1) The “gay bar” becomes a hangout for conservative activist shills, which most of Manhattan’s gays will avoid like the plague and no one but the out of towners will go on pilgrimage to.

    2) The gay bar actually works out, in which case in a matter of months, the patrons of both buildings start getting to know each other (riding the bus, riding the metro, standing on the street waiting for the bus or waiting to be picked up, etc etc etc) and – wait for it – DON’T kill each other in a bloody war.

    Either way, I’d laugh hysterically.

Patrons can buy warm lard to fling at the girls, or find their own uses for it. For an extra price, one can retire to the Zima room, where the girls will remove their shoes, with which they will beat the patrons in time with christian metal music.

    The menu will include bacon-wrapped hot dogs, pork liver pate, and clams au gratin. Every table will have a shaker of bacon salt.

    Thanks for the link. That’s truly sick, and unfortunately representative of a growing movement in Europe.

    I’m not sure if it’s strange or totally consistent that Germany seems to lack the kind of racist movement that’s present at least in France, Britain (BNP), Belgium (Vlaams Blok and its succesors), and Italy (Lega Nord).

    There’s the usual bit of anti-immigration politicking in reaction to the large number of Turkish immigrants. And there’s the very very fringe neo-Nazi NPD. But as far as I can tell, really no sense of grassroots Islamophobia that’s so obvious elsewhere.

    The fact is, the current momentum toward austerity, nationally and locally, is the expected outcome of Obama unleashing his misbegotten social-justice, wealth-redistribution genie.

    When many pundits were calling the Republican party dead after the 2008 election, Obama couldn’t leave well enough alone. He drew the battle lines of class warfare.

    All Obama did was energize Conservatives like me, give rise to the Tea Party and cause several Democrats to lose elections or not run for re-election at all (otherwise known as “I want to spend more time with my children”).

    Now Paul Krugman doesn’t like the Conservative push-back. Tough.

    Just in case there’s any confusion, here’s what I want (I’ll let other Conservatives speak for themselves).

    I want back every penny of tax money that has ever been wasted on societal leeches, lamebrain liberal programs, bailouts for union employers and protecting “sacred” teachers.

    I don’t care if every street light stays off, I don’t care if public employee rolls get cut in half, I don’t care if unemployment goes to 15 percent. Not a penny more in higher taxes.

    Call me a mean Republican or even a sociopath, if those are the best comebacks you’ve got. But it was Obama who started this class warfare battle and we will finish it. My Conservative brothers and I will vote this nation into austerity one way or another, and there’s nothing Obama can do to stop it now. It’s his own fault.

    History began on January 20, 2009.

    What happened was that Bush Sr. was cheated out of office by Ross Perot. Bill Clinton came in and ruined the economy until Newt Gingrich balanced the budget. But in the meantime Clinton had hollowed out the military because he was a draft dodging stoner and this made him rape a lot of women and kill children with trains while running drugs out of Arkansas.

    Then Al Gore tried to steal some election, and then Bill Clinton let 9/11 happen.

    Then we brought in George W. Bush Jr. as Commander Guy to KeepUSafe from another attack and stop Saddam Hussein from invading the USA and taking our babies off of respirators to feed them to Al Qa’ida. Then Bush Jr. did the SURGE which fixed everything in Iraq.

    A little bit later after being saved from Al Qaidaban gaysexual attack, Kenyonesian Barack Obama took the Presidency by ACORN and SEIU thugs and caused the economy to collapse by handing trillions of dollars to Jew bankers and Fannie and Freddie because Jimmy Carter used the CRA to make banks give free houses to coloreds who couldn’t afford them and by making the deficit kill all the jobs and taxing us into high inflation.

    Since then Tea Party revolutionaries copied the Constitution and the Founding Fathers down on secret notepads so the Obama spies couldn’t burn them and they fought against Stalinist forces to try and stop Obamacare from killing all our grandparents.

    This is what happened and why it is crazy for damn socialist libruls to think that George W. Bush Jr. was President when he clearly never was and it was all Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, and then Barack Obama and Bill Ayers.

  359. Nymstradamus said,

    August 11, 2010 at 3:08

    No. It’s what Claven gets from cigarettes.

    Unfortunately the character of Cliff Clavin was ruined for me when I found out that John Ratzenberger is currently a Teabagger.

    This is what happened and why it is crazy for damn socialist libruls to think that George W. Bush Jr. was President when he clearly never was

    August 11, 2010 at 3:16

    That is totally wrong. In 2006 the election of the party of traitors to Congress meant that Al Qa’ida knew that Nancy Pelosi would make the American people think that Iraq was a mess.

    Before Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry could start giving money to have Al Qa’ida kill US troops as we retreated with white flags and diapers, Commander Guy Bush Jr. called in General David Gaius Glaucus Julius Marcus Aurelius Antonio Banderas Petraeus, and he single-handedly stopped the Democrats and the librul Jew media traitors from surrendering our military to Ahmedinajad and went on to make everything great in Iraq.

    Since Commander Guy fixed Iraq we are now able to stay in Iraq forever thanks to our SURGE victory.

    I didn’t have to. Ronald Reagan undid everything that Communist ever did, except the stuff he didn’t.

    Therefore, Jesus in my President. The Word of God declares that Jesus, returning from the dead to defy death and the grave, is the Ruler Maximum.

    I’ve been waiting for the, um, creatively edited snippets of Blartblart to start showing up. I’ve been tempted to make some, but of course, that would involve actually watching clips of him, and my stomach just ain’t that strong.

    It is not right for someone to have hair that so much resembles the lid of a flip-top rubbish-bin. When I look at that picture I cannot help imagining that if you step on Jonah’s foot, the top of his head lifts up.

    Ronald Reagan claims he never left the party, the party left him… so it’s all good, FDR would have been one of them if he were alive today.

    If he were a well-designed novelty bin, he would spout right-wing mottos as his top flipped up.

    [step] “A equals A” [flip]

    [step] “Cut taxes! Laffer curve!” [flip]

    And so on.

    Yes, sorry, that’s what I meant. They changed the title to “Let Me In.” And yes, it was amazing. This looks terrible. I couldn’t hear the preview, but it looks like they made it into a thriller. And they refer to the vampire character as “she.”

    I think we eventually settled on a cliffotine.

    Is that when you throw someone off a cliff and when they land, their head gets chopped off?

    Which you watch from the comfort of a chaise lounge sipping your cliffotini.

    My mistake. Who was the director? So I know to avoid him.

    Also speaking of American remakes, anyone know if “Dinner for Schmucks” was any good?

    It had some excellent moments – I thought I was going to have a coronary during the scene at the IRS office – but it’s not great.

    Answering my own question – Matt Reeves, who apparently met J. J. Abrams when he was 13. And he wrote “Under Siege 2: Dark Territory?” Heckuva reference, Brownie.
