A POTUS Shitmus Test
Confederate Yankee confrère MikeM is has kidnapped his vote for president and offers a ransom note to would-be aspirants to the Oval Office:
My Letter To A Presidential Candidate
Dear Mr. Candidate:
I’ve been following your campaign for awhile, and I might be willing to cast a vote for you. Over the last several decades, I’ve had the chance to live with presidents of both parties, and I’ve a learned a few things, particularly in the last two years. So I have some advice; I hope you’ll listen.
Sure thing, MikeM … and keep talking (we’ve almost got a trace).
Remember when Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped that Mr. Obama failed? Remember how Progressives went berserk? ‘How dare he!’ They cried. ‘He wants America to fail!’ That situation clearly illustrates our current national dilemma. You see, Progressives equate Mr. Obama and America. They think he is our voice, our face. Some of them even think he’s some kind of a deity, a god who transcends such a petty office as the Presidency of the United States and whose destiny is to remake America in his image. They’re wrong, badly wrong. It’s not about the man; it’s about his policies.
Okay, the perp is at 111 Dipshit Lane. We can have a SWAT team there in 10 minutes … oh, Christ, he’s still talking …
Mr. Candidate, the President of the United States is nothing more than a man, and someday I have no doubt, a woman.
Caribou Barbie thanks you, blah blah, yadda yadda — can you please get on with your list of demands?
So while you’re running, and particularly if you are fortunate enough to be trusted to be America’s temporary chief executive, there are some important things you ought to know, and more importantly, believe. I know that some of them will seem, well, elementary, but my experience of the last few years has taught me that some things likely need to be said.
* You must be personally humble. ‘I’ should be a tiny part of your private vocabulary and an even smaller part of your public vocabulary. But in your representation of America’s values and interests, you must be proud, fierce, resolute and honorable, for the people you represent are all of those things and more. Those who are full of hubris never end well, nor does their nation.
Humility good, hubris bad — difficult to disagree. Carry on.
* You must believe that America is the greatest, kindest, most free, just and generous nation ever to exist in the tide of time, because, well, because it is.
Or is it: humility bad, hubris good? Ah well, ‘foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds’ etc.
* Your job is also to pursue America’s interests, not those of victim groups, unions, billionaire donors, or those of a fictional, hopelessly utopian one world government.
And it really is a simple task, because ‘America’s interests’ perfectly coincide with those of all identifiable sub-groups of Americans, who are never in competition with each other for anything at all or able to show that their preferred policies would result in broader benefits for more people than those of their rivals or maintaining the status quo. And this is true because there is unanimous agreement on what ‘America’s interests’ really are, to the point that MikeM seems to feel it would be a waste of time to make the slightest attempt to define them in any coherent way.
* The UN does not share America’s interests. You must not share those of the UN.
* Global Warming is the biggest scientific hoax of all time. If you fall for that, you’ll fall for anything.
So you better not cave in to Antarctica’s demands in the New World Order!
* America’s economic system is capitalism. Its expression is free enterprise. It’s engine is small business and the rest of the private sector. Do you notice that government has no part in that? Do you realize that government can only hinder and interfere?
Why just the other day I was remarking to a friend that the threat of government enforcement of anti-fraud laws was hindering my ability to con other people out of their money. Talk about a commie plot!
* Government jobs don’t create wealth, they consume it.
Fire doesn’t provide warmth, it burns stuff! Food packaging doesn’t preserve perishable goods, it makes litter! Clocks don’t help you to be on time, they tell everybody else you were late! Etc., etc.
MikeM’s ransom note goes on for quite some time, but we started getting bored and just have to assume that it ends with a demand for safe passage to the airport where a reality-warping, time-traveling jet awaits to whisk him away to a make-believe America of the distant past.
the President of the United States is nothing more than a man, and someday I have no doubt, a woman.
Obama’s having a sex change operation?
“I’ should be a tiny part of your private vocabulary and an even smaller part of your public vocabulary.”
So, um, I’m the decider is bad then?
* America’s economic system is capitalism. Its expression is free enterprise. It’s engine is small business and the rest of the private sector.
It’s legacy is shitty grammar.
So they have almost rediscovered TR. But not quite.
“”The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.”
You see, Progressives equate Mr. Obama and America. They think he is our voice, our face. Some of them even think he’s some kind of a deity, a god who transcends such a petty office as the Presidency of the United States and whose destiny is to remake America in his image. They’re wrong, badly wrong. It’s not about the man; it’s about his policies.

* America’s economic system is capitalism. Its expression is free enterprise. It’s engine is small business and the rest of the private sector. Do you notice that government has no part in that?”
Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat! Nothin up mah sleeve!
” Do you realize that government can only hinder and interfere?” [citation needed]
DA, you touched on this, but I’m still so fucking confused as to why conservatives think that global warming is a hoax. What POSSIBLE benefit do scientists get from saying, “Holy shit, we’re all going to die. No, really.”? It’s just dumb.
Although, you know, those research grants and contracts are a lucrative business. You can literally make enough money for a somewhat comfortable middle-class existence!
* Government jobs don’t create wealth, they consume it.
Yup, I remember how private enterprise, freed from that danged gummint interference, created the internet.
I’m still not sure how these idiots think the economy would function without, say, a body overseeing the cutting up of the broadcast spectrum or a patent office, a court system, or even the full faith and credit of the United States.
Given that a president failing can mean many many many people dying it’s really not that nice to hope he fucks up. Where you can hope things go badly is, say, in pretzel-eating or Segway-riding mishaps.
Although, you know, those research grants and contracts are a lucrative business. You can literally make enough money for a somewhat comfortable middle-class existence!
Well, if global warming paid enough for corporations to profit, like war does, they’d be all over it.
‘I’ve had the chance to live with presidents of both parties.”
There’s a couch in the White House basement that they let him crash on when he’s in town.
Jesus Christ, this douche needs to put down the Ayn Rand already.
Also, they’re advertising diet cheese. I’d think that would be far too girly for such a manly site.
Does anyone imagine that people like MikeM look at what they’ve written and go “Shit this is EXACTLY the same thing I’ve been staying for the last (N) years. I’m like the M. Night Shamaylan of punditry. Man, do I need to rethink my life…”
or is it more like “Ha! This is unassailable logic that will cause Obama and the other socialists to weep like little girls. Pass that bag of airplane glue.”
or is it “Damn, this is the easiest fucking job/hobby in the universe. Seriously it makes solitaire look like playing chess against a Kasparov/Fischer hybrid.”
The government needs to stop enforcing contracts so I can make some real
moneygold.It’s engine is small business
I run an engine! Chugga chugga chugga choo choo!
Wow. DA brings tHe mangos to us. And what fetid reeking mangos they are.
It’s cool they want the president to be humble, though. W was super-humble.
W was super-humble.
Now watch this drive!
I am DIGGING this multiple-posts-per-day thing… now scrolling back up to read actual post.
Fixed to reflect what actually happened for eight years, rather than what is only happening in this dumbfucks fevered imagination.
Or did I just imagine three guys being arrested in Denver for having an anti-Bush bumper sticker on their car … or the guy who was arrested for calling out Cheney to his face at some shopping mall … or being called a traitor for daring to question Dear Leader’s policies … or watching damn near every single conservative (including this clown) claim that any criticism of the Commander in Chief during wartime was treason … or …
Well, I could continue, but why bother? Dipshits like this guy lack any shred of self awareness, and is yet one more person who thinks all of American history started Jan. 20, 2009.
I’m still so fucking confused as to why conservatives think that global warming is a hoax. What POSSIBLE benefit do scientists get from saying, “Holy shit, we’re all going to die. No, really.”?
This is what I’ve been trying to articulate for the last several years. Thank you.
But in your representation of America’s values and interests, you must be proud, fierce, resolute and honorable, for the people you represent are all of those things and more. Those who are full of hubris never end well, nor does their nation.
… um what?
The government destroyed my Small Business by building a road in front of it and – get this – running fucking electricity into the building! I hate the government SO MUCH
Don’t forget the billboards reading “George W. Bush. Our Leader.” It’s like none of that ever happened.
You see, Progressives equate Mr. Obama and America.
Now where did we ever say that????
I mean, it’s not like we walk around claiming that to disrespect the President is to hate America. It’s not like we ask the right “why do you hate America so?” when they talk about his birth certificate or him being blackity-black. It’s not like they’re protesting in the street, and we say, “There’s a WAR going on! Respect the President!”
“Yup, I remember how private enterprise, freed from that danged gummint interference, created the internet.”
And radar, satellites, the first computers, nuclear energy, the Apollo project, interstate highways and most of the other big-zoot stuff that the daddies of today’s conservatives pointed to decades ago as clear evidence of US superiority. Who knew that this stuff was all shit because the government ran their development?
And it really is a simple task, because ‘America’s interests’ perfectly coincide with those of all identifiable sub-groups of Americans, who are never in competition with each other for anything at all or able to show that their preferred policies would result in broader benefits for more people than those of their rivals or maintaining the status quo. And this is true because there is unanimous agreement on what ‘America’s interests’ really are, to the point that MikeM seems to feel it would be a waste of time to make the slightest attempt to define them in any coherent way.
If you shrink it to “Real Americans,” yes, in fact. There’s everything’s supposed to be subsumed by The Movement – which is probably what he meant by telling his wet dream presidential candidate, “you don’t matter, but your
countrymovement can never be wrong.”“Alone — free — the human being is always defeated. It must be so, because every human being is doomed to die, which is the greatest of all failures. But if he can make complete, utter submission, if he can escape from his identity, if he can merge himself in the Party so that he is the Party, then he is all-powerful and immortal.”
– O’Brien, 1984
Yup, I remember how private enterprise, freed from that danged gummint interference, created the internet.
Built the interstate highway system.
Or airports.
Or bridges.
Or tunnels.
Or railway tracks.
Or give away government scientific research to the private sector.
Nope. No job creation at tall….no sirreee!
This is what I’ve been trying to articulate for the last several years. Thank you.
You’re quite welcome!
I mean, I suppose it’s easier than confronting the fact that your lifestyle has fucked up the planet and your descendants will curse you long after you’re gone (provided that they live) and possibly giving up that lifestyle to make sure the “provided that they live” part becomes a little more likely.
Nope. It’s easier just to believe a lie, even if it makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Conservative thinking in a nutshell, really.
And radar, satellites, the first computers, nuclear energy, the Apollo project, interstate highways and most of the other big-zoot stuff that the daddies of today’s conservatives pointed to decades ago as clear evidence of US superiority.
And to go back further: subsidizing uneconomic-to-build trans-continental railroads, rural electrification (per Open Cahoots above), harbor imporvements…
What Dot said. They’ve reached the point — and Rand Paul is merely an outlier at this point — where they understand the public is so stupid, so ill-informed, they can simply demand the entire thing be done away with change nothing at all, and later announce they did what they could — and there are enough fuckwits who will buy that so they can get away with it.

All right… all right… but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order… what has the government done for us?
I meant…
Shut up numpty!
Be champions.
You see, Progressives equate Mr. Obama and America. They think he is our voice, our face. Some of them even think he’s some kind of a deity, a god who transcends such a petty office as the Presidency of the United States and whose destiny is to remake America in his image.
First of all, Progressives with a capital P refers to a movement of the early twentieth century which hasn’t existed since then and, if memory serves, was mostly Republican (the Bull Moose kind).
Second, I don’t know if you’ve ever been to a liberal rally, or a liberal blog, or ever even sat down with a liberal, but nothing you just mentioned is even remotely true. Liberals were turning on Obama within months and disgust at him for all kinds of reasons is widespread; why? Because so many of us disagree with his policies. It’s we who care about policies and not people.
A sharp contrast could be drawn with conservatives, who only rallied against deficits after a black Democrat entered the White House.
Somebody should organize “A Day Without Government.”
Anything that the government helped create or fund would be off-limits for these fuckfaces to use.
That would be impossible, of course, but that’s also the point.
Im guessing it’s not necessary to point out the mind-buggering (yes) amount of projection in this gibberish…
* The UN does not share America’s interests. You must not share those of the UN.
The UN has no interests. The UN is a place where two hundred or so countries, each with their own interests, gather, and the fact that every one of them thinks like you do is a huge part of why UN action tends to be so erratic and dysfunctional.
They don’t have black helicopters either. Actually, I’d say alien UFO sightings are vastly more believable than black helicopter ones.
Wealth doesn’t create roads, they consume them.
Businesses don’t fund most pharmaceutical research in public universities, but they sure do like to gobble it up cheap.
Rich people don’t create mountaintops, but they sure do blow them up.
he tried so fucking hard to not sound like a sub-literate moran (*) and yet couldn’t quite get every “it’s” and “its” right. just a little proofreading. although, if one were to read this doggerel twice one might notice that the contents were utterly specious, but…whatevs.
All right… all right… but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order… what has the government done for us?
Brought the sexay back.
Oh, the biggest government project, the one that in hindsight I wish they had never fucking committed to, was the wiring of the rural South for electricity.
You rednecks want power? Go fucking build your own motherfucking electrical grid.
* America’s economic system is capitalism. Its expression is free enterprise. It’s engine is small business and the rest of the private sector. Do you notice that government has no part in that? Do you realize that government can only hinder and interfere?
No, I didn’t notice. I work at a government institution whose purpose is to finance the sales of U.S. exports to international buyers by American small businesses.
Please. Tell me more.
Actually, this is very common human behavior — think of it this way: advertising is digging a hole, and offering to fill it back in for a price. We grow up absolutely inundated with messages like that, all the time. “Your twat stinks! Use this deodorant spray!” “Do YOU have robot insurance?” “Is wiping a pan with oil too difficult for you? Use our spray-on pan oil!”
So when the rubes hear scientists saying “um you will all fucking DIE unless you 1) listen to us, 2) do what we say, and 3) give us heaps of money,” they think, “By the power of Loki’s grill! Them there scientist fellers are a-tryin’ ter STEAL MAH MATTRESS GOLD!”
They think they’re being canny. And it’s amplified by the opportunity to tell those smarty-pants McSmarty-Science guys to go fuck themselves. “See? We’re smart, too! We have a scientific o-pinyin that’s differnt than yers!”
So yeah, there is a human tendency to reject gigantic warnings.
The conservative UN cycle:
1. The UN does not share our interests, so don’t give the UN funding, legitimacy or the backing of our military!
2. What good is a toothless UN that doesn’t have the authority or power to actually do anything useful in the world?
3. Return to point 1.
Somebody should organize “A Day Without Government.”
*HACKHACKwheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze*
*gumsmack*
Yew young’uns might not remember *HACKwheeeeeeeeeeeze* 1995, but them damned ‘Publikins did juss that, by shuttin’ the gubmint *AAAAAAAAAAAHACKwheeeeeeeeeeeezeKOFFKOFFhockSPIT* down….
* Government jobs don’t create wealth, they consume it.
Why do you hate our soldier, Confederate Y…
Ah. I guess that answers that. They’re not really your soldiers, are they, Johnny Reb?
“Apples are the greatest fruit in the world, but apple trees are pure evil. If only there were no apple trees, perfect apples would hang suspended in mid-air.”
“Do YOU have robot insurance?”
OMG! No! I don’t! Where can I buy some, quick?????????!?!?!?!?!?!
Yew young’uns might not remember *HACKwheeeeeeeeeeeze* 1995, but them damned ‘Publikins did juss that, by shuttin’ the gubmint *AAAAAAAAAAAHACKwheeeeeeeeeeeezeKOFFKOFFhockSPIT* down….
I do remember that. It was fucking dumb. But that wasn’t a day *completely* without government, and people could still use the services that the government had built in the past (roads, phone lines, etc).
““Apples are the greatest fruit in the world, but apple trees are pure evil. If only there were no apple trees, perfect apples would hang suspended in mid-air.””
This made me giggle. Also I’d like to see this.
Also I’d like to see this.
Take more drugs.
Don’t get out the boat, the fap is deafening.
“Take more drugs.”
No matter how much Tylenol cold medicine I take I can’t see the floaty apples!!
Yer doin’ it wrong.
Aural sex.
Are there comments? Are they horrible? *splays fingers over eyes* I can’t bear to look.
Dear God, the pig-headed stupidity is so dense I fear it will create a gravitational flux and suck the entire planet into it.
This made me giggle. Also I’d like to see this.
Don’t look at us, you’re the artist.
At least … what is a gravitational flux? Not the same as a Black Hole, is it?
I liked dis one:
* You, as did Ronald Reagan, must believe that America is Mankind’s last, best hope, and that if we lose freedom here, there is nowhere left to run. All of your official actions must be informed by this sacred faith.
Sacred faith? This idjit thinks America is a Cecil B DeMille production.
what is a gravitational flux?
When you lose control of your bowels while hanging upside down.
I’m still so fucking confused as to why conservatives think that global warming is a hoax. What POSSIBLE benefit do scientists get from saying, “Holy shit, we’re all going to die. No, really.”?
This is what I’ve been trying to articulate for the last several years. Thank you.
They are just mad that someone has a credible end of the world scenario that doesn’t involve the rapture. End of the world? Without Jesus? That’s just unfair.
God forbid the rubes start listening to actual scientists doing actual science. Imagine the hellscape that would lead to. People wouldn’t smoke, because it gives them cancer. People would stop reading horoscopes. The entire flimflam sector of the economy would collapse! It’d be another great depression if the greater fraction of the population wised up.
I’ve done all I can
to elevate apples.
Somebody should organize “A Day Without Government.”
Here in Mississippi we call that “Friday”, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s organized
Are there comments? Are they horrible? *splays fingers over eyes* I can’t bear to look.
Mostly the comments agree with everything he says except they think it should say dear Mrs Candidate at the top.
Mostly the comments agree with everything he says except they think it should say dear Mrs Candidate at the top.
Why would that letter be addressed to the first lady? That’s just weird.
Somebody should organize “A Day Without Government.”
How about a field trip to Somalia?
what is a gravitational flux?
NASA porn?
“Mostly the comments agree with everything he says except they think it should say dear Mrs Candidate at the top.”
Oh boy. Engorged Starbursting Penises for Palin 2012!
D-KW Presidential Litmus Test.
1. Your mom, is she hot?
2. What were we talking about again?
to elevate apples.
Now THAT is creepy.
“D-KW Presidential Litmus Test.
1. Your mom, is she hot?
2. What were we talking about again?”
*chuckles*
what is a gravitational flux?
The House of Substance?
Well Mr. Candidate, that’s about it for now. We both know I could go on and on.
OMG, this nattering fool has more?!
Two sentences earlier.
Mission Accomplished! Break out the aborted fetus cocktails!
Truly, Christianity is a religion of peace.
Over the last several decades, I’ve had the chance to live with presidents of both parties
That’s what that creepy noise in the basement was! The Secret Service thought they had a Cheetos eating rat.
While explanations from Chris and Spangler are well-reasoned, incredibly thought out, and just overall great, I think it’s actually very, very simple:
Liberals believe in global warming. Thus, they must reject it.
Q.E.Fucking.D.
That may come across as snark, but it’s 100% true.
Just look at what they’ve opposed the past few years: individual mandate (their idea); end-of-life counseling for veterans (created in the 90s by Republican Kit Bond); tax breaks in the stimulus (they voted against it); a TARP program their guy created (and that is actually making the U.S. money); deficit spending (which they loved up until the black guy was elected Prez); etc. etc. etc.
As soon as a liberal suggests or agrees with something they do, they turn against it. Time and time and time again.
It’s like they have some sort of ideological Turret’s, just reflexively yelling “NO!” any time anyone remotely liberal says anything.
It’d be comical if it weren’t so destructive to our nation …
PM, yes it is.
HEY!
Currently having a blast trolling the facebook comments of a friend back home who thinks “Oboma” is out to kill the oil industry becaue he hates rural southerners.
The birther is the most fun…”You actually believe that?” Indignant, ignorant cajuns women are the best.
I’m still laughing over Spangler’s succinct breakdown of the principles of advertising.
If I ever need to make myself vomit profusely I will remember to read Confederate Wankee’s clap trap.
Actually, wow. This thing is self-refuting in sentence 1.
Rilly? Hypothetical letter to hypothetical candidate. You couldn’t have been following their careers since you don’t even know who they are. Congratulations, your made-up shit isn’t even internally consistent in the first sentence.
Unless, of course you are aware of all candidate
traditionscareers.This thing is self-refuting in sentence 1.
I noticed that myself, but figured for this audience that’s a feature, not a bug.
Its expression is free enterprise.
I’m expressin with my full capabilities
And now I’m livin in correctional facilities
I think Mark D’s point is the mostest salientest one re: the Hoaxest with Mostest
But I have also heard wingnuts whinge on about how the Hoax is somehow a money-making scheme.
Liberals believe in global warming. Thus, they must reject it.
I just…I can’t believe that you know, like, the future of humanity hinges on something so fucking petty.
“Oboma” is out to kill the oil industry because he hates rural southerners.
Yes, goodness gracious, he’s going to take their billions of *SUBSIDY* money away.
I got a kick out of “in case you haven’t noticed, the oil industry is doing all right”.
Odd how all tea party rhetoric devolves to “don’t you dare take away my government handout!”. Republicans are freeloaders, and so project that all “those” people on welfare are cheats, since, of course, the Republicans would, and do, cheat the government.
But I have also heard wingnuts whinge on about how the Hoax is somehow a money-making scheme.
The Bentley factory can’t keep up with the demand for special orders from climate scientists. And they all want the big engine!
“I just…I can’t believe that you know, like, the future of humanity hinges on something so fucking petty.”
Have we met?
Ain’t that the damn truth. All the grown-ups have left the Republican party.
Have we met?
Sometimes I like to pretend!
Sometimes I like to pretend!
Hawt.
* You must believe that America is the greatest, kindest, most free, just and generous nation ever to exist in the tide of time, because, well, because it is.
This sounds suspiciously like what his fellow captives were taught to say about Raymond Shaw.
Global Warming is the biggest scientific hoax of all time
Piltdown Man gets no respect.
America is the most generous nation to exist in the tide of time. Now repeal Obamacare before my money gets stolen to save some poor loser’s life.
Sometimes I like to pretend!
Does this ever involve catholic schoolgirl outfits? AFAF.
America is the most generous nation to exist in the tide of time. Therefore you must never ever give any consideration to any other country in the world.
Hawt.
You have a thing for ninjas?
Piltdown Man gets no respect.
Tell me about it.
“Now repeal Obamacare before my money gets stolen to save some poor loser’s life.”
Heh. Exactly. Besides, the Free Market will take care of things. Somehow.
The government destroyed my Small Business by building a road in front of it and – get this – running fucking electricity into the building! I hate the government SO MUCH
Well to be fair, his business was called:
Libertarian Portable Generators

No love for Immanuel Velikovsky?
I *also* like to pretend…that I am not still battling a sinus infection.
Now repeal Obamacare before my money gets stolen to save some poor loser’s life.
Doood!
Indignant, ignorant cajuns women are the best.
Does this go with the “I like to pretend” comment? ‘Cause to quote DKW:
Hawt!
Does this ever involve catholic schoolgirl outfits?
Nah, I feel like I’m getting a little old for that. I do have a habit that I break out from time-to-time, though…
Doing lines of wasabi powder always seems to clear up my sinuses.
Does this ever involve catholic schoolgirl outfits?
“Was she a large catholic schoolgirl? Big through the hips? Roomy?”
Global Warming is the biggest scientific hoax of all time
HA! As if.
Hey, I’m just getting started!
At least … what is a gravitational flux?
She’s Æon’s whorier sister.
I’ve been following your campaign for awhile,,,
Rilly? Hypothetical letter to hypothetical candidate.
He’s also been fucking Morgan Fairchild since she was hawt.
Global Warming is the biggest scientific hoax of all time
Just edging out evolutionary theory and heliocentrism.
Also: should be “biggest scientific hoax in the tides of time.”
Come on. I don’t even make sense!
Global Warming is the biggest scientific hoax of all time
Phlogiston would like to have a word with you.
I *also* like to pretend…that I am not still battling a sinus infection.
Hawt!
I know, right?
Mentholatum is one of the sexiest smells on the planet.
Yeah, I know. Flash in the pan.
Tides? Did somebody say tides. Tide comes in; tide goes out. Ipso facto, God exists.
Mentholatum is one of the sexiest smells on the planet.
You need help with that mentholated rub?
“Was she a large catholic schoolgirl? Big through the hips? Roomy?”
I do not have a K-Lo fetish.
Global Warming is the biggest scientific hoax of all time
Wait, what happened to the Lancet study that said that George W Bush personally killed four hundred billion Iraqis?
Global Warming is the biggest scientific hoax of all time
Wait, what happened to evolution being only an article of faith?
You need help with that mentholated rub?
Nah, I’m good. VS is the snotty one.
Damn you OC!
Relevant.
Nah, I’m good. VS is the snotty one.
There’s enough mentholated rub for everyone (with breasts).
Remember when Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped that Mr. Obama failed?
It was not my hope that Bush would fail, it was my expectation.
SOCIALISM!

I’ve figured that CY’s vote is tied up since I read about this:
http://www.confederate150.com/2011.html
I don’t think you can vote for Jefferson Davis on February 19 and then vote in the GOP primary. However, it might be worth asking an expert on these matters.
Note that the big events on Feb. 19 are all taking place on Dexter Ave., right in front of Dexter Ave. Baptist church.
There’s enough mentholated rub for everyone (with breasts).
I’ll take one full rubdown, hold the breasts.
If water has memory then I must be full of shit.
If water has memory, then I should start taking my scotch neat.

I’ll take one full rubdown, hold the breasts.
In fact, you can skip the rubdown and just let me hold the breasts. All of them.
“I’ll take one full rubdown, hold the breasts.”
I’d rather get someone to hold them for me.
I’m sorry! Door was wide open!

Do wingnuts even GET The Simpsons?
Note that the big events on Feb. 19 are all taking place on Dexter Ave., right in front of Dexter Ave. Baptist church.
Acceptable flags at the Heritage March include “any historic or current US flag.”
Do wingnuts even GET The Simpsons?
I’m pretty sure it’s about confirming Jonah’s interpretation of whatever over-his-head philosopher he’s trying to impress Charles Murray by reading this week. Right?
Why not?
GOP pettiness and grudges are the foundations for our tax code, energy policy, military operations and budget, health care system, education system …
So, yeah, basing the future of our entire species on something so petty is just par for the course for the modern conservative movement.
Happy Australia Day youse guys!
I guess America really is Rome now. When you’re elected president, you also become Pontifex Maximus of the civic religion.
I used to be a liberal until Obama failed in his solemn duty to sacrifice a yearling on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
What’s interesting is that if I remember that episode correctly, it was about about of rubes being suckered by a lot of meaningless words. That, in a nutshell, is what being a wingnut is all about. Is there NOTHING they can’t project?
Do wingnuts even GET The Simpsons?
Certainly, fer instance when Homer picks up the phone and says,”opertaor quick, give me the number for 911!”, they can totally relate.
Late to the party but …
I’ll take one full rubdown, hold the breasts.
I’d love to but please don’t make me hold any of those icky girlbreasty things. Too, by “full” do you mean “with release?”
* This blog needs more same-sex-harassment. Hell, this blog needs more sex.
I guess America really is Rome now.
I AM SPARTACUS!
Yeah, I don’t think it was intended to be especially political; if I recall the musical correctly it was just a take-off on The Music Man. But Jonah’s the guy who thought Ghostbusters was inherently conservative because some low-level bureaucrat gets in the heroes’ way at some point, so he’ll read too much of what he wants to into anything.
ROFLMAO!!! He DIDN’T! Oh my. Bless your heart for having to read that. omg. That’s funny.
I don’t understand teh hatred on the right over high speed rail networks. The history of rail in America is the history of Capitalism. It’s even important in the fictional bullshit America of Atlas Shrugged. High speed rail has the potential to increase the size and reach of markets. Additionally, we are talking about an inter-city tranport mechanism that would compete with flying. i.e. the benefits accrue to people who already do a lot of inter-city travelling by plane. i.e. not the poor, whom they hate. SRSLY, high speed rail is a middle-class thing, it’s not subsidizing inter-city buses.
But I guess since liberals like it, it must be evil.
Hell, this blog needs more sex.
If this blog isn’t getting laid often enough, it’s not our fault.
* You must believe that America is the greatest, kindest, most free, just and generous nation ever to exist in the tide of time, because, well, because it is.
That reminds me: goddam Canadian government, taking my tax money and wasting it on stupid socialist shit like cradle-to-grave medical care for everyone… then having the nerve to pretend that they are being “kind” and “generous”…
re: sex…I’m pretty sure some folks here would like for those of us who induldge the near round-the-clock flirting/attention-whoring/borderline sexual harassment to knock that shit off.
re: liberals like it so it’s evil. Nutshell: that’s in it.
I don’t understand teh hatred on the right over high speed rail networks.
Obama wants to take my car away!!!!111!!!1!!! I can’t take my guns on a train!!!111!!! It’s all a PLOT….
WOLVERINES!!!!
See? That’s how that line of “thinking” works. Now I’ve got a headache. That always happens when I try to channel wingnuts.
Also indulge.
You must believe that America is the greatest, kindest, most free, just and generous nation ever to exist
Because you have been brainwashed to repeat this up until the moment you try to assassinate the president.
re: sex…I’m pretty
Hey!
ROFLMAO!!! He DIDN’T!
You’re right. That was Steven F. Hayward. But there’s some stupid at the link from Jonah too, e.g. “For the conservative, the moral of [Groundhog Day] is that redemption and meaning are derived not from indulging your ‘authentic’ instincts and drives, but from striving to live up to external and timeless ideals” and that A Simple Plan is conservative because “simple morality is not simplistic.”
Was there a pressing need for these?
No, but has that ever stopped novelty manufacturers?
mark f, don’t forget Douthat (I believe) thinks that one Apatow movie is conservative cuz the lady doesn’t abort. I’m sure the movie was trying to convey a conservative message. Not, you know, perhaps be longer than 5 minutes.
There’s enough mentholated rub for everyone (with breasts).
What about manboobs— do they count?
SRSLY, high speed rail is a middle-class thing, it’s not subsidizing inter-city buses.
Uh, that’s using the new updated definition of middle-class that includes people making over $250K per year.
K-Lo makes the same argument about Juno at that link above. I don’t remember what she says about the baby going to a single-parent household (headed by a woman!), which would seem to be almost as bad as death in K-Lo’s eyes.
You can complain all you want, libs, but I have got a damn good version of “Ain’t She Sweet” going on the banjolele.
In America, I work for unemployment. In Russia, unemployment work for me.
What POSSIBLE benefit do scientists get from saying, “Holy shit, we’re all going to die. No, really.”? It’s just dumb.
Although, you know, those research grants and contracts are a lucrative business.
It always bears repeating that the reason climatologists are still researching climate change is in response to denialists refusing to accept the results and demanding more research. So the climatologists sigh, and apply for grants, and the denialists are all SEE IT’S A HOAX THEY’RE JUST RIDING THE MONEY TRAIN.
I’ve been following your campaign for awhile
One of these words is not in the dictionary.
I’m pretty sure some folks here would like for those of us who induldge the near round-the-clock flirting/attention-whoring/borderline sexual harassment to knock that shit off.
I say amen to that.
You just can’t get away from these idiots. I spend some time on a blog for our local ECHL hockey team. We have a regular idiot on there that throws in his teatard rants on the hockey blog on a regular basis. This is why we can never have nice things.
I would like to write a lengthy essay concurring, but only if I can write it while sitting on your lap.
One of these words is not in the dictionary.
Is it “I’ve”?
Awhile is a perfectly cromulent adverb, so if he had lost the “for” then,,, awww nevermind.
I think an NRO commenter thinks Jonah made the monorail video himself.
This is why we can never have nice things.
And all this time, I thought I was why we couldn’t have nice things.
Hi mom!
Oh…THAT’S the money angle. I was confused about that. I thought it was some green economy thing, but that didn’t make sense to me cuz you’d think they’d like the FREE MARKET to take care of things…even made-up things…Wait. I’m confused again.
Always on topic:
I think an NRO commenter thinks Jonah made the monorail video himself.
SAD. And it’s not like that shit hasn’t been around for over 20 years.
Oh yeah. I’ve heard that movie is a conservative fave, too. *rolls eyes* Me, I’ve never seen it and never will.
LOLWUT?!!
What the fuck is a thirteen year old doing with Creed?
Juno was a pretty good movie.
+1
Yeah, Juno wasn’t bad. A bunch of decent one-liners and realistic reactions to situations by characters. All the smartassery and twee visuals gets to be a bit much but the movie was smart enough to keep the running time too short to really grate.
Hubby saw it on a flight and found it irritating. I’m not really interested in movies about teen pregnancy no matter how they end, I guess.
Awhile is a perfectly cromulent adverb, so if he had lost the “for” then,,, awww nevermind.
Oh, that’s alright then.
…Acceptable flags at the Heritage March include “any historic or current US flag.”…
Is there a Tea Party flag? An Confederate Tea Party flag? Hmmm, or is the Confederate flag the Tea Party flag? Does that make it both historic and current?
Also, when Jefferson Davis is sworn in, will we have two presidents? Or, one president and a pretender? Or, a historic president and a current president?
I’m looking forward to February 19!

It is a recurring argument from wingnuts: climatologists cannot be trusted because they spend so much time — amounting to entire careers — on answering stupid questions from wingnuts and performing further research to satisfy wingnuts’ concerns.*
When I say “recurring argument”, I mean “article of faith that doesn’t even need to be spelled out any more,** simply invoked with one or two words.
————————————————————————–
* Was going to be a joke here about “Queue Bono” but it’s bad enough with Creed in the thread already.

why are they still pissed off about this? obama’s a tall dude…greeting a tiny man…there’s going to be some sort of dipping action…
…Acceptable flags at the Heritage March include “any historic or current US flag.”…
If that includes the CSA flag (obviously not a US flag, but occasionally flown within the bounds of what is now the US) then the Union Jack and the Spanish flag should also be acceptable.* Please someone try this.
* Not to mention the Iroquois Confederation flag.

From the CSV site:
every unit , division or other group would do well to designate a spokesman for their group who is experienced in dealing with the media and is well spoken. Designated spokesmen should be sure to dress appropriately. It would be best that any one approached by a member of the media defer to their designated spokesman for comments.
heh…

Once the Nigger in Chief is voted out of office than begins the long process of restoring the Old America with its Christian faith, traditions and old fashioned morals. I have got news for you libs, the American people are fed up with the communist usurpation of Our Republic, that great leftist social reenginnering program of the 1960s that has been a cancer eating away at the moral fabric of Traditional White Christian America ever since.
One of the first goals that Karl Marx promoted for establishing communism was the eradication of tradition, religious faith and old fashioned morality and discrediting National Heros such as Our Founding Fathers. We have seen this beginning with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This first act of leftwing activism than led to affirmative action, non-white immigration, feminism, gay rights and a host of other social reengineering polices all under the very communist banner of diversity.
Leftist traitors in all of the White Nation’s are willfully engaging in a process of destroying White Christian Civilization by enacting policies of mass third world immigration into their host countries. This was all part of Karl Marx’s plan to establish a one world communist government by erasing national soverignty and borders, and the majority of Western politicians are either ignorant of this fact or otherwise engaged in a massive conspiracy against the White Race.
Hopefully the Tea Party movement will not succumb to political correctness and will begin to reverse this long and terrible path to self destruction
“(Sorry. Was that over the tip top?)”
I’m not sure that’s possible on this blog.

The lower strata of the middle class — the small tradespeople, shopkeepers, and retired tradesmen generally, the handicraftsmen and peasants — all these sink gradually into the proletariat, partly because their diminutive capital does not suffice for the scale on which Modern Industry is carried on, and is swamped in the competition with the large capitalists, partly because their specialised skill is rendered worthless by new methods of production. Thus the proletariat is recruited from all classes of the population.

Gots it on DVD. Joe Don Baker as leading man? BeeRILLyant.
Poltical correctness has gone amuk here in America and also in Europe. Take for example a new movie version of Red Riding Hood which is based on a 14th century French Folktale. This legend is very important to the French people and wolf attacks were very much a reality of life during medieval Europe. And in this new movie their are black people portrayed in Medevial French villages which is not only historically inacurate but politically correct in the most absurd.
In the earlier epochs of history, we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of society into various orders, a manifold gradation of social rank. In ancient Rome we have patricians, knights, plebeians, slaves; in the Middle Ages, feudal lords, vassals, guild-masters, journeymen, apprentices, serfs; in almost all of these classes, again, subordinate gradations.
I call fake Gray Ghost.
Do YOU have robot insurance?
RISC again!
I call fake Gray Ghost.
I dunno, Roman knights is a nice touch.
This legend is very important to the French people
Yes, my friends in Paris are constantly talking about how important Little Red Riding Hood is to them… it ranks way higher than unicorns, leprechauns… but not quite as high as Gray Ghost and his legendary blowjobs.
NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THE NUTTY PROFESSOR.
“NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THE NUTTY PROFESSOR.”

If I remember correctly that’s the one where the car being chased in the chase scene uses it’s turn signals at every turn.
their are black people portrayed in Medevial French villages which is not only historically inacurate
why, you are correct, sir! filmmakers have always been mindful of complete accuracy, historical and otherwise…that’s why charlton heston was a perfect moses…
The People’s Republic of China does a great rendition of Red Riding Hood. I especially liked the sequence where 75 zillion wolves flood over the steppes and through the Gobi Desert, all of them disguised in their little red riding hoods, holding their little red books.

Also, when the wolf says, “All the better to eat you with, dearie,” his voice is unrealistically effeminate, an obvious nod to the homosexual agenda.
Yeah, THREAD BEAR, instead of being a PAINBOW, you could be a RAINBOW.
When Red gives grandma croissants she bows in the direction of MECCA.
I suspect many S,N!aughts are commuting now so here’s some commuting music to get you there.
Wolves eat grandma. Huh. It’s a death panel allegory. But how do you decide what’s God’s will? Did Little Red Rising Hood sin by cutting the wolf open and freeing Grandma (chew your food, people), thus second-guessing the mysterious ways of the Lord? Or was she fulfilling God’s plan, in which case, why did anyone ever get killed by wolves? Either God didn’t care about everybody’s grandma, or whatever. Bored now.

Is that the one with the inexplicable screaming?
their are black people portrayed in Medevial French villages which is not only historically inacurate but politically correct
I’m intrigued. Is this genuinely a new point of poutrage among the Big Hollywood readership? Is it a parody of the outcry that ensues whenever a BBC / PBS adaptation of a Dickens novel casts a black actress for some role (because the entire population London during the heyday of the British Empire was white)?
Btw, since we’re on the subject, there’s an entry up at my blog where I ask everyone what their fave funny movie lines are.
Do they celebrate Sam the Sham day?
That’s in Egypt, innit?
You know, when someone has a line like this somewhere in a rambling statement:
And immediately follows it with a line like this:
I have to think someone may not have the slightest idea what the heck they’re talking about.

Another ourageous example of political correctness in the modern day film industry is the recent adaption of the movie Thor. Thor is supposed to be about the ancient Norse gods and yet the actor playing the god Thor is you’re never gonna guess…..Wait for it…..A black rapper!
This is an absolute outrage and an insult to White people everywhere. Thor was supposed to be the whitest of the gods and yet he is played by a black man! Why does Hollywood feel the need to pervert the legends and folklore of the White race by adding diversity into the story?
Apparently White people are not allowed to have anything that is their own according to the politically correct leftists in charge of Hollywood.
It’s true. White people never get anything. It’s so unfair.
Thor is supposed to be about the ancient Norse gods and yet the actor playing the god Thor is you’re never gonna guess…..Wait for it…..A black rapper!
Conservatives really are color-blind!
Piefilter
Actually, the black actor in Thor plays a villain, not the title hero, but don’t let facts get in the way of a good old fashioned white-power rant. By all means, carry on.
I demand that the movie of Thor be realistic and that he therefore battle Hercules.
Oh my. Thor is hot
Regardless, their were no blacks in Ancient Scandinavia. This is just as absurd as the modern day adaptions of Robin Hood which have moeslms and black in Sherwood forest. Personally I rarely watch any modern films, preferring to watch films from the pre-politically correct era. My personal favorites are the old Western films from the early 1900s to the 1950s.
Modern day films with all of their political correctnes, diversity, profanity and sexual content are mainly their to provide shock and awe and to otherwise cover up mostly horrific acting and dull storylines.
I welcome the coming wave of Thor fashions.
Another outrageous example of political correctness in the gaping asshole industry is that you can’t see the face of the Goatse guy. How can he possibly be shamed if you can’t see who it is? This is supposed to represent the ancient god of the moon and yet all you see is two hams and a black hole.
This is an absolute outrage and an insult to tight butt people everywhere. Goatse was supposed to be the widest of the gapers and yet he is hardly bigger than a soda can! Why does The Internet feel the need to pervert the legends and folklore of the gay race by removing space from the asshole?
Apparently we are not allowed to have anything as large as a softball up their ass according to the politically correct leftists in charge of The Internet.
I! Am! Thor!
.
.
.
…and so should you be.
Actually actually, the “black rapper” (really a talented actor) plays another of the Norse gawds, the security guard one who collects the tolls at the RAINBOW (or PAINBOW) Bridge.
Oh my. Thor is hot
I never would have guessed he was black.
Thor won the Loogie!! Per IMDb.
Won Logie for Most Popular New Male Talent (May 2005)
Rainbow Bridge = HOMOSECHCHUAL AGENDA!!!!
Most modern day films are nothing but leftwing trash masquerading as film. Do they really need all of that gore, nudity, profanity and political correctness in order to tell a good story? Like I said, it is their to provide shock and awe, to promote a leftwing world view and to otherwise cover up bad acting.
Is this genuinely a new point of poutrage among the Big Hollywood readership?
Yes. It’s been kicking around for about a week–I thought y’all knew it was a thing.
It’s….sad. Really sad. These people must live empty, empty lives.
THOR fashions lead directly to Human Centipede, Spidey-style.

Well, hey, if the topic is films, I’ll just recap what I said over at roy’s joint, RE: The King’s Speech:
I think the film would have been more entertaining if they had taken some artistic license and made the King a sufferer of Tourette’s rather than afflicted with a stutter. The moment of triumph and denouement would come when the King delivers his speech and only refers to his subjects as “bloody cocksuckers” and “limey motherfuckers” once or twice each.
These people must live empty, empty lives.
And yet, not enough time to look up the details of trade between French ports and North Africa during the 12th to 14th century, nor the proximity of France to the Moorish kingdoms in Iberia, nor the presence of Moorish characters in the romances of Parzival and Willehalm.
Shorter version: “black people in Medevial French villages is not historically inacurate”.
Boring parody troll is boring. How about a rant about the way that medieval Christian iconography came to depict one of the three Magi (usually King Balthazar) as Black? Political Soundness!
this year’s Joe Wilson.

I would have written “This year’s Joe Wilson?” like some sort of bad speculative headline from Fox News. Which is probably why I can never get anyone to read my links.

Oh, bloody God, we’ve been over this. Captain America was an Irish city boy from Lower East Side Manhattan. No matter what it said on his birth certificate, the Real Americans of his age would have hated that smelly job-stealing terrorist city boy with the same passion that their descendants deploy against Latinos and Muslims.
Hell; wingnuts, you’ve still got Tony Stark. Why isn’t Tony Stark good enough for you?
CAPTAIN AMERICA IS HARDLY AMERICAN AT ALL.
Damn, he’s really upset about his outfit.
It’s what’s outside that matters.
“Last week, Representative Broun scoffed at the proposal that Republicans and Democrats sit together during Obama’s speech, calling the idea a “trap.” Broun said that, “sitting together being kissy-kissy is just another way to try to silence Republicans.” ”
He’s got a point. They were a lot calmer this time. The crazy feeds on itself.

“Sadly, our comic book heroes have been undergoing a PC-ing for years making them less heroic and more liberal every year. This new Captain America film is just one more effort in that campaign.”
Because you can’t be heroic unless you have the flag tattooed on your wang, you think gays are kinda icky (though your dress may tell a different story), and you drive a Hummer.

Fact: North America has indeed seen cooling recently.
Unpleasant Corollary: It’s just about the only region on Earth that is cooling, & I wouldn’t bet a kidney on this anomalous trend continuing for much longer.
That lie is going to get a lot harder to believe in the next 15 years without a little help from Mr. LSD.

Mike Jones goes into some detail about Haggard’s love of masturbation in I Had to Say Something, his account of his meth and sex relationship with Haggard. Yeah, I’d say the kids these days say bisexual. Or, they might have some other word for it. Regardless, it seems to me that Haggard owes Jones’s an apology for claiming that Jones’s is a liar:
The next time he [Haggard] came, he was ready to burst. “I am so ready to go!” [Haggard] told me, rushing into the massage room. Within seconds, he was undressed and called for me to come in right away…
“Jack me off now!” he said. Standing completely naked, he was very hard and very excited. I placed him on his back on the massage table and started stroking him. His body was so stimulated that I feared he would go into convulsions. Within minutes, the magic was over. “Wow,” I said before he could. “That was quick.”
His panting was heavy as he lay there in an intense afterglow. Five minutes later he was reaching for my crotch and fondling it madly. A few more minutes of intense rubbing, and he was hard again. I grabbed his dick and soon he ejaculated again.
“You stud!” I told him, slapping his butt.

Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) says the Republican Party has a plan:
“The Republican Party is the party of K-N-O-W. We know how to lower the cost of health care. We know how to take care of the uninsurable. We know how to put patients in charge of their health care and have a market-based, patient centered health care system that’s not going to kill jobs like ObamaCare is going to do. And we know how to stimulate the economy. We know how to create jobs in the private sector. We know how to prevent this huge government takeover of health care as well as all of society.” http://www.dailykos.com/
But were not gonna a tell you. Nya! Nya! NaNaNya! Suck on it Libs.
Okay, okay, I’ll take it easy. In the words of the mortal Ted Haggard:
“I don’t want to stand up publicly and say, ‘Hey, I’m a masturbation guy!'”
I should, however, note that that delightful quote from I Had to Say Something is early in the book, before Ted and Mike do meth, watch hard core porn, butt fuck, ride a motorcycle, or play together with a penis pump and assorted sex toys.

Okay, if I’m being generous, maybe he meant “‘I’ should be a tiny part of your… vocabulary” metaphorically, but if I’m being honest, no he didn’t.
Language Log got on top of this a while back, and the upshot is that Obama, if anything, uses fewer first person pronouns then the last two presidents, besides which, the excessive use of first person pronouns often indicates humility.
Eg “You know, I’ve never really cared for the Beatles, but that’s just my opinion” is much more humble then “The Beatles suck.” even though the former uses two personal pronouns and the latter doesn’t refer back to the speaker at all.
This “Obama is really arrogant!” thing strikes me as being a lot like the “Obama is a muslim!” in that both are actually countered by the evidence, and even if they weren’t, they’d be totally irrelevant.
Christopher – fair enough, you’ve done the research. PS the Beatles suck

From Christopher’s link:
Studies consistently find the opposite: people higher in the social hierarchy use “I” words less. The secure boss is surveying her or his kingdom calculating how to get more goodies. The insecure underlings are trying to control their behaviors so as not to offend the leader.

Oh, sweet thundersnow, John Hawkins. I haven’t read him in a healthy couple of years but he’s still writing the same column he wrote in 2007. Not only does he link to himself in the new column, he plagiarizes himself several time, again. Ouch. Is that business with numbering everything contagious?
Did you notice that you can buy a month’s worth of continuous banner ads on his linkiest.com site for $150? Assuming it’s not a scam, a big assumption, that’s very tempting.

Shorter John Hinderaker:
I’m not sure how this is going to sit with Palin’s crowd.
And, Jesus Christ: “Asked about Michele Bachmann’s response to the State of the Union, Palin indicated that she liked her speech, as well as the official GOP response by Rep. Paul Ryan, saying both ‘were really good and they were sound. They were sound because they were in opposition to president Obama’s message.'”
I mean, I guess you have to appreciate her unintentional honesty?
‘Palin also called for the elimination of National Public Radio and the National Endowment for the Arts, calling them “fluffery.” ‘
I came.
They were sound because they were in opposition to president Obama’s message.
Sarah Palin is right because she is not wrong. Refudiate that logic, loony libs!
Another outrageous example of political correctness in the modern day film industry is the recent (1960) adaption of the movie Spartacus. Spartacus is supposed to be about the slave rebellion in ancient Rome and yet the actors playing Spartacus, Crassus, etc. are, you’re never gonna guess…..Wait for it…..speaking English!
This is an absolute outrage and an insult to ancient Romans everywhere.
Hey, people ask you a question and they want some words back when you answer, right? Choosing the words is not as important as making the effort to answer.
“Why is Obama wrong?” is one of the gotcha-est questions of all time. Almost as bad as “what newspaper do you read?” or “do you support President Bush?”
mark f: Sarah Palin is right because she is not wrong. Refudiate that logic, loony libs!
The first problem on the questionnaire read “You are: a.) Mohammed b.) Mussolini c.) Disraeli d.) yourself. Cross out all the answers that are wrong.” X refused to cross out any but Mussolini, as he said Mussolini was the only one who was wrong.
‘Palin also called for the elimination of National Public Radio and the National Endowment for the Arts, calling them “fluffery.” ‘
A woman who has read all the newspapers and has gotten into a public fight with her daughter’s baby daddy should know a thing or two about fluffery, I guess.

And it’s not necessarily bad news; if the righties were to turn on themselves and if the civil wars were to last, that would be good for us (witness the way the hard left in Europe’s been at war with itself for decades; that was the inspiration for the “People’s Front of Judea/Judean People’s Front meme).

When I was a kid and had nothing to do, my father would ask “Want to walk to the city line?” It was about four miles of nothing much. We’d get there, go “Yup,” turn around and walk home.
I walked to work. A quarter of it was on the side of a road in nasty snow with cars whizzing past at 60 mph. Then I got to a sidewalk and it was quite lovely.

It’s frustrating. I live a mile from work, but if I want to take a route with sidewalks all the way, it’s over 2 miles. And they haven’t done anything with the sidewalks all winter, of course, so that’s out the question.
I need to get some snowboots, too. That would help substantially.

I think red lipstick looks great, but I usually stick to fleshy tones because I have full lips…and I whenever I wear red lipstick, I always feel like “Hey!! look at me!”
Xecky, yeah, the road I walk on has a bike lane. I don’t think I’d ride it (although I didn’t think I’d walk it, either), especially because there are huge snowbanks cutting into it.
All of this is complicated by the fact that my leg is still kinda weak and it’s more difficult for me to trudge through snow and get up hills than it would normally be, and quite frankly, I’m scared of hurting myself again.

But your screwing-around productivity is through the roof! And since the Repubs have taught us all that everything in life is zero-sum, you’re covered.
Isn’t “communist USSR” a little redundant, too? Also?
thanks n_b i feel better now…
Chris, apparently we were ALL wrong about the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was because they won the space race.
So Reagan didn’t single-handedly destroy the Communist USSR after all?
So, she’s calling for the elimination of a private company now? Interesting.
Why Sarah hate America?
“BTW, i want you all to know that ever since i started reading s,n! my work productivity has declined dreadfully…”
Bull! I’ll bet it has declined laughingly.
Why Sarah hate America?
Because we didn’t elect her empress-queen-god.
Sarah IS Queen B.

Communist USSR is communist.
Either she’s trying to impress us with her political and foreign policy knowledge by using an uncannily descriptive adjective, or she’s trying to really stress the point that they were bad by cramming as many pejorative words in there as possible.
Whichever it is, she sounds like a middle schooler.
You guys know that the Founding Fathers fought to eradicate slavery, too, right?
Just to be clear, the Founding Fathers consist of Gearge Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Robert E Lee, Jefferson Davis and Strom Thurmond.
In Communist USSR, space race wins you.

David Vitter is proposing a Constitutional amendment blocking citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants and–as he wrote it in 2009–it appears that it would not have allowed Michelle Malkin her citizenship:

naw, it’s appropriate, and I pretty much am on your side on that discussion; but most of that is out of my control or influence. But unfortunately, that ship has sailed, and it sometimes boils down to adaptive reuse or the wrecking ball. And I have been involved in structures that have come down on both sides of that equation; it may be personal/professional bias, but I almost always come down on the side of reuse. I have, in at least two instances, worked on structures that were one step ahead of tear-down.
In fact, my most recent post has to do with that exact issue, regarding a tannery. Tanning used to be a big industry in Milwaukee; it faded long before NAFTA and offshoring. So what to do with those buildings? At one point, my office was in a former tannery; the one in my blog post was up the street, and did not fare so well.

Also, several of the reuse projects I have worked on have been tax credit projects aimed at moderate income residents. So not always so much yuppies, sometimes single moms and blue collar families.

Yeah, I get that too and I’m all for re-use of old buildings. I dunno, I realize this is a windmill that can’t be brought down. Can’t help wishing we could figure out a way to help average people make a living wage and keep the downtowns livable for regular people. Speaking of which:

That’s pretty cool. Must be satisfying to see people living in a building you had a hand in renovating. I had a similar feeling back in the Jurassic when I spent a couple of summers doing framing carpentry.

At one of the recent dedications on a further phase of a local, urban, series of projects in one of the predominantly African-American areas of town, one of the speakers was a woman who had moved into the prior phase (along with her kids).
She spoke about the immense difference it made in her life to have a modern, safe and comfortable living space, in which her kids were safe and she could use as a home base in making a living and a life….
I still fucking tear up thinking about it.
Of course, by Republican-Galtian standards, I failed on that project because I did not earn 400 dollars an hour while doing it.
is that even a word?

I was very proud of the flitch plate I (over)engineered for my 1860 farmhouse reno when I wanted to remove a wall or two. There was a 30 foot microlam beam going unused at the granary restoration just down the street so I donated some time to the restoration and took the beam home. Cut it in two (well, to length which wasn’t halves exactly) then went down to the general store (WHAT a general store!) and snagged an 18 foot steel beam. I managed to borrow an electromagnet base drill press and thru intensive Internet search found the record bolt pattern and spacing.
I don’t recall the details any more but it was WAY stiffer than my calculations called for. I’ve got some pictures at home if anyone is interested.
I have another horrible, rancid mango, but I’ll keep it to myself.

I don’t have a dog.
Actually, it’s kinda one of those things I think people should know about, although they’re probably happier if they don’t.
Can’t get audio where I am, thankfully, I think. This, however, deserves to be shared on the merits of this fine comment alone.
Guns & Insanity = dead 9 year old girls. Welcome to America circa 2011. I’m so proud of my country!
yeah, I saw one at C&L that had a picture of the girl that brought me to tears.
I can’t even imagine how horrible it was/is for her mother.

yes, T&U it is.
I don’t get why wingnuts don’t understand that you can love this country like an adult loves, not like a child loves. Is this on-topic?
I can’t even imagine how horrible it was/is for her mother.
the part where she describes being shot and wounded, laying there listening the fucknozzles RELOADING while her daughter pleads “please don’t kill me”…
fuck, I am opposed to the death penalty but holy hell these people need to be ERASED.
I think there is something in the aquifers in America.

Sometimes I hate my countrymen, if I am forced to admit that these cobnuggets are my countrymen.
The problem is that the 20% of this country that is batshit does SO MUCH damage, it’s like theyre the whole of the country.

They love the troops by brandishing a bumper sticker. Yup.

Big Stupid Mango:
GRETA: Governor, last night there was a lot of discussion about the Sputnik Moment the President wants us to have. Do you agree with him? Is this our moment?
PALIN: That was another one of those WTF moments, when he has so often repeated, the Sputnik Moment, that he would aspire Americans to celebrate, he needs to remember that what happened back then with the former communist USSR and their victory and that race to space, yeah, they won, but they also incured so much debt at the time that it resulted in the inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union so I listen to that Sputnik Moment talk over and over again and I think, no we don’t need one of those.
gocart, you didn’t feel like putting up the next part, where she says rather than high tech and space race industrial-technical innovations, we need more potato-based donuts?
Not that there’s anything wrong with potato based donuts, mind you.

Don’t for one fucking minute think any of you Yankee Euro-trash are one bit better than, for example, Australians.
Merely because your savage, primitive, religion-addled, child-molesting, thieving, murdering, grifting ancestors got out of Europe just ahead of the angry mobs & their pitchforks instead of being remanded by The Crown doesn’t make you any less the descendants of wretched criminal refuse.
Malignant Bouffant Johnson is making sense!

PALIN: So I listen to that Sputnik moment talk over and over again and I think, ‘No, you don’t need one of those. You know what we need is a Spudnut moment. And here’s where I’m going with this — and you’re a good one, because you’re one of those reporters who actually gets out there in the communities, find these hard-working people and find solutions to the problems that Americans face.
Well, the Spudnut shop, in Richland, Washington — it’s a bakery, it’s a little coffee shop that’s so successful — 60 some years, generation to generation, a family-owned business. It’s not looking for government to bail them out and to make their decisions for them. It’s just hard-working, patriotic Americans in this shop — we need more Spudnut moments in America!
And I wish that President Obama would understand — in that heartland of America, what it is that really results in the solutions that we need to get this economy back on the right track, it’s a shop like that!
I am waiting for pizza to come and I am so damn nauseous.
I thought you were joking zrm! Oh Lordy
OMFG. I just……have we reached Peak Absurdity yet? I don’t think I can keep climbing, you guys!
I am waiting for pizza to come and I am so damn nauseous.
That’s the fucking worst. Do you have some crackers to tide you over?
Speaking of spudnuts, has anyone ever put potato flakes down their shorts on a hot and sweaty summer night?
HAHAHAHA Richland Washington, that would be nothing but sagebrush and rattlesnakes if it weren’t for the Hanford Reservation, a … wait for it … government-built program.
Fuck, she’s stupid.
She’s freaking retarded. In other news–pizza’s here! Thank you, FSM.

PS: how do you type?
PPS: are you one of those that one can tell when you’re coming because you put down the nail file?
How did they come up with Spudnut, anyway? Did they just Google “spu” until something came up?
Pizza just needs some E.D. drugs from Pfizer.

And is it just me, or does “spudnut” make anyone else think of some dude with potatoes for balls?
SPUDNUTZ!
I didn’t even notice the spudnuts part because I was concentrating on “wtf” and “communist USSR.”
It’s just hard-working, patriotic Americans in this shop — we need more Spudnut moments in America!
How is the patriotism relevant to their being hard-working and not wanting a bailout? Jesus Christ, again with the stuffing as many adjectives as possible to stress that those are “good” or “bad” people. Yes, they’re patriots… I’m sure they’re very nice with children, too.
And I wish that President Obama would understand — in that heartland of America, what it is that really results in the solutions that we need to get this economy back on the right track, it’s a shop like that!
What we need to get this economy back on track is a shop just like that? Well don’t look now, but that, right there, was a shop “just like that.” Why isn’t the economy back on track?
How did they come up with Spudnut, anyway? Did they just Google “spu” until something came up?
Ex-Gov. Grift has relatives in Richland, one of the lovely Tri-Cities. This was probably a Spudnuts for life deal.

Ah. I was just about to come in here and speculate as to whether or not Spudnuts paid her off.

My professional opinion is “no.”
Also too, have you ever _seen_ the tri-cities? Holy fuck what hellholes. Populated by mutants. In the middle of a fucking desert.
When I’m on the iPad, poorly.
I’m not touching that question with a ten-foot-pole…pun totally intended!
“spudnuts” makes me think of the love that dare not speak its name. In other words, a potato-fucker.
Were I cruel & more cynical, I might speculate that a relative, who doubtless works the third-shift fryer at Spudnuts, is about to be laid off ’cause beezness stinks, & Sarah doesn’t need to hear him or whining about needing money, so she decided to use Fox for some free advertising.

I suppose you think your better than us, being official criminals, while we were merely of the criminal class. Well don’t get too smug. I’ll have you know that my great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother was a convicted murderess who was sentenced to a lifetime of hard labor in His Majesty’s crown colony of Maryland, where she had a whole brood of bastards. And don’t even get me started on Georgia!

As long as we’re comparing criminal records, I got a great-grandfather who was in the German Army and killed a fellow officer in a duel, then fled the country to avoid the consequences. But that’s on my French side, American. Not all of Europe’s dregs left the continent.
Also, thumbs up for the fine state of Maryland.

I was trying to get a vomit joke in there, but everything came out a little too twee. The only reliable vomit joke I have is “If you’re gonna spew, spew in this”, which isn’t even a joke, but a movie quote.

o yeah, pretend you care about the organs of a zombie, and then you’ll run it through with a chainsaw.
Hey, I got no beef with your kinda zombie. You have taught me much tolerance.
zrm, I’ve been trying to decide if I want to go ahead and buy tickets for one of the cities two hours away on a weekday or if I want to take the chance that they’ll swing by here on the second leg of their tour like they did on the Hazards of Love tour. (I touched Colin Meloy’s ass!).

I have always been lucky on second legs of tours…. but I also think the only regret you’re gonna have is if you DON’T go. what’s the worst? If you go, and don’t like it, and then they come by so you can skip it?
Dunno about Colin Meloy’s Ass, myself. sounds like a lousy opening band.

I was a man who was very easily sunburnt.

Their tickets are, like, $50 and there’s gas money. And I don’t like driving two hours after a show, especially if I was by myself. It’s not enough to keep me from going, but it’d be nicer to see them here.
Face, meet palm. A Baptist seminary student on facebook just read Gilgamesh and claims he can’t see the connection to the Noah’s Ark story.
Umm. Big flood. Godly anger behind big flood. God tells dude to build boat to save himself and some other living beings. Dude survives big flood that way. Dude finds out when the coast is clear by sending out birds. Nope, no parallels there at all.
I realize seminary’s a giant exercise in memorizing the rationalizations of others and learning to make your own, but SERIOUSLY?

O I reconnize what you’re saying. I’ve had to miss plenty of shows in the last little bit due to cash flow issues, even if they are local. And having someone to share driving and talking is essential.
But I consider Madison and Chicago, both roughly two hours away, to be firmly in the vicinity if something important and rare comes through. Marillion at Park West was a good one. We’ll have to see what the Mekons do this year….

I guess I’m pretty certain they’ll come through here. They’ve been here twice, and they come to Lawrence all the time.

Yes, I saw them in this tiny little club (where we saw Arcade Fire before they blew up–it was so weird), and it was awesome.

I usually feel the same way, but the Mekons have burned me a couple times, especially considering a couple of the band members live in Chicago.
So last time they came through, I made all my friends go, a couple of dozen Zombie friends, sitting right up front, and me making them all stand and cheer…
and afterwards, I got some really nice limited prints in the lobby, and signed by the entire band, and ifthethunderdontgetya will testify as to how nice they are.
Although these drunk girls got up on stage and started dancing with him. It was weird and a little embarrassing.

well, I’m an old guy. Also saw the Violent Femmes in any number of local venues right about the time they were going national. Also, Da Bodeans before they changed the name or added a bass player, or could draw more than 20 people.
Saw when they were nothing, y’hear, nothing:
Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin on their first U.S. tour, Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen, Van Halen.
Long drive for stimulants, esp. if you’re getting burned, dood.
Bouffant, my wife, loves to rip me up.
Van Halen.
were they ever something?
Led Zeppelin on their first U.S. tour,
that, however, would have been awesome.
They’re playing the same venue where I saw Morrissey. Twice.
Oh, and Mr. T&U saw The Decemberists on their second tour (I think? Maybe third?) but I didn’t go because I had to work in the morning. I suck.
Wow. ZARDOZ here we come.

Or so I hear.
Sometimes I think back to all the bands I’ve seen, especially when i am pinching pennies, and don’t even try to count up the money I’ve spent. It sometimes seems like such a waste of money.
And I start to kind of wonder what I have to show for it? Ephemeral experiences, gone the next day. Still have to go to work, pay rent, pay taxes, pay to live….
But then….one of those songs come on the iPod. You know the songs, although they are different for everybody; they are the songs that helped you grow up, or helped you get over difficult times, or just make you charge out into the day and take it on like you’re Chuck Norris. Or makes you want to find your person and do something nasty to them. Sometimes, it’s a different song every day. But it connects you, somehow, to something primal, something of energy.
And that’s why people write songs, and that’s why they perform them; connection to the forces that made squirming creatures rise up out of the muck, and struggle to breathe in a hostile environment.
And participating in that performance, we get to share in a bit of that, and feel the electricity of ALIVE, and PEOPLE, and being part of something.
At the robyn utube link, all the “other vids” were Iron and Wine.
Curiously, I received the following in my OPB e-newsletter this morning:
But that’s neither here nor there. Peel a largishj Yukon Gold spud and slice it very thinly using a mandoline. Lightly salt and pepper firm white fish and spread a leetle butter on it. Wrap it up in the potato slices then pan fry in some good quality clarified butter. Magic.
That’s not what I’m making tonight though. Tonight I’m inventing a chix tortilla soup as I go. Had some left over pot roast which I shredded, added a bit of the leftover gravy, finely diced onion, ancho chili powder, lots of ground cumin and… I dunno, I’ve already had two martinis. I’ll soften some corn totrtillas and wrap up little packages contianing the beef mixture then fry in oil until crispy. I’ll top them with some of the guacamole I just made and probably some sour cream too.
Hominy gratinee and a simple composed salad of shredded carrots, chopped lettuce and diced tomato drizzled with lemon and my tastiest extra virgin olive oyl. And sea salt.
Tecate was on sale so I’m drinking some of that cheap shit up tonight.

Speaking of spudnuts, tonight I invented FREEDOM PIZZA: it consists of battered French fries deep-fried into a pie shape, then coated in pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings, and broiled to finish. Comes in a ranch dressing variant, too.

I don’t hate them. I like them a lot. I just hate it when a band gets big and you can’t see them in a small venue anymore without a bunch of dipshits there. It sucks.
How big is the Pabst Theater?
actually, it seems it is at the Riverside, which is 2400 people.
The Pabst is 1300 people.

My favourite track off of Tiger Suit.
Also, thumbs up for the fine state of Maryland.
Drop-dead coolest state flag in the nation.
“The Maryland flag contains the family crest of the Calvert and Crossland families. Maryland was founded as an English colony in 1634 by Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore [Great Britain]. The black and Gold designs belong to the Calvert family. The red and white design belongs to the Crossland family.”

I bought a ticket to Slayer’s concert in Melbourne a few years ago, mainly because Mastodon were opening for them. I’m 5’10 and I was possible the shortest guy in the crowd. During the break between Mastodon and Slayer there were dudes dressed head to toe in stonewash denim, swapping cassettes.

Whoops! Sorry.

Meh, even I find them listenable, and I fucking HAAAAAAAAAAAATE metal.

is it worth scrolling up, or is it just riffs on DKW’s mum and T&U’s tits?
Fie on mandolins. Get thee an banjolele.
This line drawn in the sand, may I say that the comment above which contains the following gem:
You know WHO ELSE was a dick-tater?
is an example of comedy opportunism that will probably only arise once in the history of the universe. In order for this witticism to appear, it required 1) a local joke in which interrogatory reference is made to invoke a certain historical despot; 2) some previous comment in which a penis is inserted into a spud.
It’s so funny that it’s not funny. There is no spoon. I’m gobsmacked.
“Mastodon is an American heavy metal band formed in 1999….”
because if you didn’t find out more you’d miss out on the biggest ragtime-metal band evar! they do a metal barbershop version of “Down by the old mill stream (Where I first met you)” that is both hummable and face-meltingly shredtastic.

True that, as a songwriter. (Not so much as a singer)
I’ll contribute a total oddity to the music discussion: The Star-Spangled Banner played on an amplified violin made out of a baseball bat. There are some riffs as fine as Hendrix’s work at Woodstock. It’s only 2 minutes long. You’ve got time for that.

Kate Bush is a classically trained operatic singer! OK, she doesn’t have Pat Benatar’s pipes, but it’s a little hard to argue with Wuthering Heights as one of the most beautiful vocal performances, not just from tonality, but from emotions, in rock history.

“Wuthering Heights” is amazing, though.

Nothing that good, that’s for sure. And it’s 18.

I remember the first time I saw her, on the Kenny Everett Video Show late one Saturday night, when I was stoned AND drunk off my ass, and just being blown away by the video.
I think she made a couple of live appearances on the show, too, using popping in during some comedy sketch or other.

My friends and I played beard bingo one night at the bar. I suddenly realized how many damn beards are in this town! It’s ridiculous.
I have a beard, but it’s a writer beard, and I’ve generally had one since it was totes unfashionable. These kids.
So get a uke. Don’t go for the $30 one with Dora the Explorer painted on it. Spend $80 on a reasonably good one, make sure it’s got proper strings, and in one week you’ll be proficient enough to take it places without shame.

It’s pretty fucking sexist, but between the overprotection of Palin and the fact that Tracy Morgan is black, I’m prepared to see a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay disproportionate response to it. Plus, that’s kinda what conservatives do in general.

We’re hosting a guest mandolin this week, a friend left a 1928 Gibson A-Model for a few days, and I’ll tell you what that hound dog has a bark! 83 years old and sounds really good. Tuning machines are, well, old, but the fretboard/neck is perfect and the grain on the spruce top is something one can no longer get (old growth spruce RIP).

Actually, a couple years ago I was taking a swimming course for adults who didn’t know how to swim, and one of the students was a middle aged man who was a Sikh.
He wore a bathing cap version of a turban, which worked out fine. But the fascinating thing was the way he wrapped up his beard and cinched it together with elastic, to keep it from interferring with his strokes in the water.
So Sikhs temper elastics?

Palin keeping it classy-
His theme last night in the State of the Union was the “WTF,” you know, “Winning the Future.” And I thought, “OK, that acronym, spot on.” There were a lot of “WTF” moments throughout that speech, namely, when he made the statement, Greta, that he believed that we can’t allow ourselves to, I guess, eventually become buried under a mountain of debt. That right there tells you he is so disconnected from reality!…
Yes. Shit is fucked.

Yeah, I care about Egypt. Egyptian, Iranian, and Tunisian protesters make us look like whinging spudnuts. We couldn’t stop two wars, we couldn’t influence the outcome of an illegal election, we can’t even get Guantanamo shut. I stood on a street corner with a sign exactly once, and that was when we passed the 2,000 dead soldiers mark in Iraq. And I still don’t know what else I could have done. Frustratin’ stuff.
Also, the person whose dogs and house I am watching has been in Cairo for the past few days. I am not worried that anyone wants to hurt her. It’s just the whole collateral damage thing.
Gaddafi had better watch his ass. I think he has a Ukrainian nurse for that.

Shit, I’d better not get started on US weapons procurement and strategic policy. It could kill even the Thread That Refused To Die.
It just occurred to me as I was clicking through on yet another link to Compassionless Conservatism that the Big Brother information holding company probably has me and many of my fellow Sadly,Naughts! labelled as consevative teatards. Yeah, sure we have several liberal sites we go to regularly, but from there we are constantly going off on mango expeditions to all kinds of whacky conservative sites. I’m thinking that when the Big Obama finally gets around to shipping people off to re-education camps we all might have a lot of ‘splainin’ to do.
Wow, this is a depressing morning. Have a nice schadenfreude tonic from the ever predictable Dumbest Homosexual in America™, The GayPutzRiot©?
So does anyone give a shit about Egypt?
I’m more worried about the Ivory Coast, because, you know, CHOCOLATE EMBARGO!!!!!!!!!!!

Taking an interest in the handful of conservative groups boycotting CPAC because of the participation of our friends from GOProud, the New York Times‘s Erick Eckholm becomes the latest reporter to make a minor divide on the right appear to be a major schism

But the fascinating thing was the way he wrapped up his beard and cinched it together with elastic, to keep it from interferring with his strokes in the water.
I sometimes bind mine twice with black-coated wire (like those that bind the cords of new appliances)…and hide the ends of the wire inside the beard itself.
It makes it easier to pull on a T-shirt, to buckle a seat-belt shoulder strap, and to keep it from whipping around when I drive with window down. It looks sorta like this when bound:

I was thinking our collective comment history would exonerate us, but then I realized, we are exactly the educated, informed voters that both sides of the aisle want nothing to do with.
Oh, I do that for fun, too.
This comment from T&U’s link seems have just the right amount of snark in it:
This is all a big misunderstanding. You see, for people in the red states, what most of us might call “incest” or “statutory rape” goes by the name “family values”.
Have some cultural sensitivity, people!

If we pool our funds and buy Tintin a dozen Spudnuts, will he give us a new thread? I’ll start with a quarter.
Yeah, I care about Egypt. Egyptian, Iranian, and Tunisian protesters make us look like whining spudnuts.
Me too. I admire courage. Also in Myanmar, Tibet, Ukraine.
‘This is all a big misunderstanding. You see, for people in the red states, what most of us might call “incest” or “statutory rape” goes by the name “family values”. ‘
“Incest” is the name of one of Cletus’ kids on “The Simpsons.”
We aren’t going to get a new thread before the weekend, are we?
Let’s ride this one into Sadly,No! history. It is an Epic Thread.

Yeah, that was my reaction to the Green Revolution back in 2009.
Since half our country was up in arms about tax hikes that hadn’t happened, deficits they’d ignored and defended for thirty years, and the prospect of poor people have health care!… it was really, really nice to see a part of the world where people were actually out in the street fighting for something worthwhile.

Cons want women to view ultrasounds, etc. before an abortion. I feel that anyone who wants to vote yes on this bill first has explain to a pregnant rape victim and her family why they don’t want to pay for an abortion because the victim is not in the hospital beat to hell.

One of Ian Fleming’s most off-color remarks in one of the Bond novels was that in the South, the definition of a virgin was a girl who could run faster than her brother.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is A POTUS Shitmus Test.’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say ‘These wounds I had on A POTUS Shitmus Test‘s day.’
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Pupienius Maximus, VS and T&U,
DK-W and Actor212, smedley and Chris-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And A POTUS Shitmus Test A POTUS Shitmus Testian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That posted with us upon A POTUS Shitmus Test‘s day.
Ok, let’s crucify him now.

Come along on a little sentimental journey.
“One of Ian Fleming’s most off-color remarks in one of the Bond novels was that in the South, the definition of a virgin was a girl who could run faster than her brother. ”

They’re fucking sick. This may be more horrifying than forcing women to carry babies who are basically dead to term because they hate late-term abortion.
People are such nosy douchebags to pregnant women anyway; I can’t imagine how traumatic and horrible it would be if you had a constant physical reminder of your trauma that people openly commented on.

DK-W, bummed you can’t hear it. It’s so funny. But I’m gonna do a journal entry with funny songs, so you can catch it then, perhaps.
Did anyone click on the Hullaballoo SPUDNUTS link? Good stuff. I’m re-posting.
I don’t mind being a doll, as long as I can be a doll that slays things. Like vacuums and men’s hearts.
Lawnguylander, if you’re reading this, I downloaded most of those mash-ups. I’m gobsmacked by how much they rock.
They really have no limits.
And it is illegal to teach religion in the public schools.
He could have saved himself a lot of trouble simply by googling the Catholic Church’s position on evolution, finding out that it approves, and using that the rationale to be all “evolution violates separation of church an state!”
Of course, you can’t teach intelligent design either, since that would be based on a religion (belief in God). Actually, according to this argument, you can’t teach anything.
Do I have to say it?
I?N?W?
The Powerline goon who was last seen issuing mea culpas for insulting the religious customs of his employer’s clients is is pulling a Jay Cutler.

That’s it in a nutshell. They are a party of victimizers who seem to sadistically enjoy denying help to people they deem as lesser or less worthy than they are.
I have to say, sometimes it gets to me that these people consider women (and other people) to be subhuman. Not often, but this is one of those times.
But I’m gonna do a journal entry with funny songs, so you can catch it then, perhaps.
It’s about genitals. I will listen to it as soon as I get home.
the other interesting detail about the Spudnut shop is that it’s not actually a mom-and-pop stand-alone business, it’s a franchise that was part of a corporate chain. The chain went international, then failed, leaving the handful of remaining franchises stranded, unable to even get the special Spudnut doughnut mix the corporation used to sell them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spudnut_Shops
So Palin’s Spudnut moment is also a story of the failure of international corporations and the abandonment of American small business.

Presumably, the Native Americans who retained his firm had the same reaction we did.
“You call that an apology?”

(insert obligatory joke about Republicans’ love of incest here)
A little while back, the son of a prominent Republican politician married the daughter of another prominent Republican poltician. After an extravagant wedding ceremony/fundraiser the young couple set off for the honeymoon. Later that night, the groom returned to his parents house. He was very upset and insisting that the marraige be anulled. His father asked what was wrong and the young man told him that when they had arrived at the honeymoon suite he had found out that his new wife was a virgin. “What’s wrong with that?” asked the boys mother. The groom replied, “if she’s not good enough for her own damn family then she sure as hell isn’t good enough ours!”
Since I have nothing better to do, at least until Bagoas _makes_ me take him to the park,
Biology studies organisms. It can also explain how organisms got that way, but studying organisms does not require explaining how they got that way, and the theory of evolution is bad science.
Umm, say what?
(1) No one has demonstrated that life can be created from non-life. (Reports of artificial DNA do not alter this fact. Life is still required.)
Evolution != abiogenesis. Eveloution is about the origin of species, it has nothing to say about the origin of life. In fact, evolutionary theory STARTS with the existent fact of living oranisms.
(2) No one has demonstrated that a new “sexual species” can be created.
D-KW’s mom gives the lie to that.
(3) Evolutionists theorize the human brain evolved from lower forms. Over 50 years into the age of computers, machines can crunch numbers far better and faster than humans, recognize and use language and tools, and beat us in chess. Yet science has yet to build even a rudimentary computer that can contemplate its own existence, the hallmark of the human brain. And no animal, no matter how “intelligent,” can do this either.
How do you know that? Prove it, please.
Now Atheism rests on an article of faith
Semantics FAIL.
Aw hell, Bagoas! Come here!
“science has yet to build even a rudimentary computer that can contemplate its own existence, the hallmark of the human brain. And no animal, no matter how “intelligent,” can do this either.”

I love this song but it was a bust as a single. I guess there is no market for Neil Young doo-wop.
Thanks, Actor! My absolute favorite in Shakespeare. I’ll try an earlier part, dedicated (mostly) to Teh Gay Sadlies
If we are marked to twee, we are enow
To do our sanity loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of PENIS.
God’s will! I pray thee wish Pupeienus here.
By Jove, I am not covetous of cock,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear.
Such kinky things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to fondle breasts,
I am the most offending soul alive.
God’s PIE! I would not lose so great an honor
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the breast hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Aristophanes, through this host,
That those which have no stomach to this thread,
Let them depart; their passports shall be made,
And Gold Bond for testicles put into their pants.
We would not POOP in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to POOP with us.
This thread is called A POTUS Shitmus Test…
[pick up Actor at 20:59]
My cat can contemplate its own existence. Last year he was almost hit by a car and I could tell that he was going through an existential crisis shortly thereafter.
(Contemplating your existence is best understood as imagining what will remain after your death.) And no animal, no matter how “intelligent,” can do this either.
How the fuck does he know?

My cat always tells me he’s starving to death, which implies a contemplation of existence.
LUXURY! My cat had to get up at 2 AM in order to pretend that it was starving to death, which in fact was it pretending to have eaten more than it had, since we had so very little. But we were happy then.
Eat this up yum.

My cats will not come near me unless I don’t feed them per the workday schedule on Saturday and Sunday. Then they walk all over my head as I try to sleep in a little bit, or else they knock things off the shelves. Even the elderly one, which spends most days sleeping in one spot, is suddenly able to climb to great heights aslong as there’s something breakable or hard to find to throw to the floor.
Eat this up yum.
I once saw a fish head having a pina colada at Trader Vic’s. And his hair was perfect.
Venter’s artificial organism is made of puzzle-pieces adapted from life, so you’ve gotta give Mr. Christian his due: Venter made Frankenstein and didn’t create an organism out of whole cloth.
Venter’s artificial organism is made of puzzle-pieces adapted from life
What he did was essentially follow a recipe using (non-living) chemicals to reproduce the genetic code of a bacterium.
That’s life from non-life.
The code itself isn’t life; it needed the medium of a cell to operate. It’s cool, but it’s not yet life from non-life.

Nah, they were just kids, mostly it’s cause they signed a long term contract at very young age for what seemed to them at the time to be a tremendous amount of money. It turned out to be peanuts compared to what the record sales brought in for the label.

Not because of the fedora, but because of the never taking it off part. Hipsters don’t really like to shower.

So do I have this right that an iPad won’t play anything from YouTube? Or are they not all flash? I’m on a Macbook and everything seems to work for me as long as I allow the scripts.
Variants, you can find Chilli Pipers at Amazon and iTunes as well. Also, you might check out Prydein, a Vermont band, and Angus Mohr out of Colorado. They each have websites and their music can also be found at CDBaby.com.
So do I have this right that an iPad won’t play anything from YouTube? Or are they not all flash?
The iPad has a special app for YouTube videos that are not Flash encoded, and indeed, YouTube has been upgrading their site to strictly HTML5 anyway.
A friend of a friend does publicity for Adobe, and specifically for Flash, and when I met her I gave her a sympathetic “Awwww…” and she laughed the bitter laugh of someone who knows they’re doing the wrong thing.
My Fargo clip on You Toob works ok for me. Too,also. Must be the younguns with IPact or some such silliness. Maybe they should’ve bought YouPad.

Whoops! Well, you should probably write a nasty email to the person who owns the site…

I discovered some muchly fine music that I wouldn’t have otherwise encountered. Viva Random Music Friday!
As far as the iPad/pod/pud goes, they realized that a huge amount of flash stuff relies on mouseover stuff. Not so easy on a touchscreen. Between that and Adobe being on their own timeline rather than Apple’s, so Apple couldn’t put shit in at whim, killed Flash for iStuff.
They have a document explaining their position that was actually perfectly reasonable when you read it. Can’t be arsed, and all that.
Re: Busted PowerTool Mirengoff,
If it had been a left-blogger, the rightosphere would be chanting and tromping about in circles ’round the fire about how they “got one”, regardless of any underlying reality. It’s interesting that when it’s this way around, while we steep fully and proudly in the schadenfreude soup, it’s about pointing and laughing at what a complete ass he is and how it’s all his own doing. Funny that.

Sorry, wrong thread. I was over at http://www.AK-47.net. Hi, everybody! I went to RISD in the late 1980s and so any thread that turns to Kate Bush, Morrisey, et al. immediately gives me flashbacks. Also, we got pure LSD from a guy at MIT, which may also be giving me flashbacks.
Once you go PUMA, you’ll never go montezuma?
With all apologies to the Mexican people and sufferers of ameobic dysentery, both PUMA’s and “montezuma’s revenge” sufferers are both known for shitting all over the place.
Well, if this thread is getting all WP’d due to its epic length, there’s still plenty of room back in the day
7 comments? srsly?
That wasn’t what I showed up to say. I showed up to say it will be interesting to watch if the media notices FREEDOM has come to Egypt, Tunisia, et al. without any invasions, occupations, new military bases, legions of mercenaries, and whatnot… Or whether the contrast with our little experiment in Iraq is just too icky for them to handle.
I’m also interested in whether the Egypt situation ignites a renewed discussion about net neutrality and the importance of keeping it open and universal.

The local “all news/weather every ten minutes” station was too preoccupied with making Obama/Carter (VslashficR?)comparisons (and the received “wisdom” of the media here ignores some very important facts about the Iranian revolution- this book is a great read on the topic).

Okay, I know y’all have been waiting for the news: I just got a call from the person in whose house I am currently sitting, and whose pets I am currently snorgling, and yay! Apparently the Cairo airport is now closed, but my person’s flight left right before that. This person had a high-rise view of the 6 October Bridge – lots of people and tear gas. This person’s tour guide, an Egyptian national, saw the group off at the airport and then planned to head off immediately to his or her home, which is in another big city that is not Cairo, in the hopes of persuading her or his spouse to refrain from going out into the streets to demonstrate, at least until he or she arrived home to accompany said spouse.
Holy crap. Please don’t die.

Which is exceedingly odd. Most mammals capable of vocalization use it for other purposes besides expression of extreme pain of death agony.

Off to Eygpt. This is 1,428, btw. And, on general principle, FYWP.
The next day, Limbaugh said he “did a remarkable job” of imitating China’s president for someone who doesn’t know a language spoken by more than 1 billion people.
“Back in the old days, Sid Caesar, for those of you old enough to remember, was called a comic genius for impersonating foreign languages that he couldn’t speak,” Limbaugh said. “But today the left says that was racism; it was bigotry; it was insulting. And it wasn’t. It was a service.”
See, here’s the thing, Rush—Sic Caesar was a comedian, and you aren’t.
And in his comedy act, Sid Caesar wasn’t impersonating an actual person; and you did.
And Sid Caesar certainly didn’t impersonate a visiting head of superpower; and you did.
And you know what else, Rush?
Some white people fifty or sixty years ago may have found blackface minstrel shows funny, but today even those people understand that that this kind of humor is racist.
But hey, Rush, I’m sure that if some Chinese comedian were to dress up like you and do a routine based upon the premise of a big fat American conservative spouting gibberish, you’d totally think that was hilarious, right?
And you’d be the last one to complain about that kind of racism, wouldn’t you?
I honor their courage and bravery and willingness to risk injury and death.
<blockquoteEgypt
For techie Sadlies: Egyptians are finding work-arounds to the black-out. Using dial-up!! Also ‘relay’ Twitter: Call someone outside the country, and they tweet.
Crowd in Cairo currently peaceful. Good interactions with Army troops on parked tracked vehicles, who are casually sitting in turrets. Waving and greeting from crowds, tossing the troops oranges and such. (Parallels to the White House in Moscow after the coup? Will they fire if ordered by Army command?)
Many burned Police / Security Service vehicles. National NDP party headquarters gutted by fire. As are many police stations. Also attempted to burn National Intelligence headquarters.
Still no video from Alexandria and Suez.
Okay, I’ll stop the updates unless something really BIG happens. I shouldn’t clutter up the thread.
Egypt: Crews completely outside of tanks now, walking around on top…as wall-to-wall crowds peacefully walks by. The Army-declared curfew begins in @45 min. This could be a key hinge:
Mubarak will probably order the Army to take severe repressive action. Will the high command refuse? If the high command does not refuse, will lower-echelon commanders refuse? And most critically of all, will the crews walking on top their tanks, refuse? Additional texture: Some senior commanders were visiting the Pentagon. There is speculation that US delivered this message: If you fire on crowds, we will reconsider aid. ($2B annually, most to military.)
There is some fascinating stuff going on right now and I’m going to watch.
Sorry for the thread-kill. It looks like my Egyptian posts might be a stake though the heart of this Epic Thread. The silence is deafening. Is there a new thread? I’ll go check.
Again, sorry.
In Soviet Russia, pussy licks you
You know, they’re not all riots all the time in Cairo.
Sometimes they go to work with their rabbits.
Short update: Curfew ignored. Crews out of tanks and APCs, on the ground interacting with crowds. Crews keeping the crowds away from the vehicles, assisted by protesters. Another location: crowds flowing peacefully through a line of parked tanks.
As a long-time Eygyptophile (is that a word?) who has never been there I just hope for the best for the people there. It’s good to hear the national museum is safe, and that the army seems to be the calm power broker rather than an oppressive arm of the current regime. I hope to whatever powers may or not be that the situation there will be resolved peacefully and in the best interests of the Egyptian people.
VS, that is ridiculously cute. Thanks.
Aww, shucks. My pleasure.
My pleasure.
That was you getting licked? Damn.

That the tear gas canisters are clearly marked “Made In USA” is not helping any image we’re trying to project to the Muslin world.

The fact is tear gas doesn’t make people cry. People make people cry.
I’m willing to contribute extraneous fluff to extend the thread, in case it goes EPIC. Last night: new strings (2) on the bass and a successful bridge adjustment, continued spanking of the visiting A-model and excellent southern Thai food. Massaman curry with potato and pineapple with grilled rib-eye and jasmine rice. Victory Prima Pils
In Soviet Russia, pussy licks you
ZOMG. Now I want a kitten AND a puppy.
Egypt: Main crowds peaceful. Over several hours, about a thousand protesters attacked the hated Interior Ministry several times–principal instrument of repression for decades. Defended by police (not Army); repulsed, with three killed. Also gunfire at a notorious prison. ((Gee, the US may have one less destination for rendition flights.)) Renewed attack on Interior just began.
Regime development: Mubarak swore in Head of Intelligence as VP (Mubarak has refused having a VP for 30 years). Suleiman is primarily an international player, not a domestic player. Known quantity to Israel, US, pan-Arab world. Mediated siege of Yassir Arafat; mediated Hamas-PLO crisis.
Dusk descending in Egypt: Crowds bedding down in Cairo’s Liberation Square. Incidents of looting in suburbs; attacks on hated buildings picking up in the dark. Eight killed at prison.
FYI: Army: 450,000 … Security Forces: 350,000 … Presidential Guard: 22,000.
Thread-kill, I know. But I’m s-o-o wired into this. I hope you are having fun on lighter topics! I’ll scroll around after putting this up.

Dude, I’m glad to read it.
Since you’re wired into it, have you heard anything about the police clashing with the military? I got a news alert yesterday saying there were unconfirmed reports of that according to Al Jazeera, but couldn’t find anything about it on the Al Jazeera website.
Incidentally, a little digging reveals that Suleiman is considered “one of the world’s most powerful spy chiefs” and a potential candidate for running the entire country. Apparently, it’s also a break with tradition to actually know the name of the spy chief, whose identity is usually guarded much more closely.
in case it goes EPIC.
In case? This thread is EPIC !!! Passed way beyond that threshold long ago. Quality, quantity, wit, humor, everything. Honestly, the is the very best thread I’ve ever followed as either a lurker or a poster.
What’s this about new strings on the bass and bridge adjustment?
1450. Only. You folks been slacking while I slept.
No police-Army clashes. Looters did get into the National Museum before the Army secured it. Not nearly as bad as Baghdad. But the scenes of broken cases and damaged artifacts is very, very sad.

NOOOO.
That sucks.
Hey, I’m hoppy everybody liked my vid. I’d like to express disapproval, however, that there is not new thread yet.
The Variants, and anyone else who cares; here’s an article from 2009 called “Egypt’s Next Strongman” (you probably need a Foreign Policy account to read it, though).
The highlights are that the spy chief, Omar Suleiman, is Gamal Mubarak (the son of the current president)’s most serious competitor for the presidency of Egypt. Helps that a lot of people are uncomfortable with the nepotism if giving the job to Gamal.
Man, miss a few hours around here and you have to start with a 400 post “catch-u” read.
Is today a holiday in Belgerania?
Many thanks for the information, Chris. That’s good stuff.
The Variants: Honestly, the is the very best thread I’ve ever followed as either a lurker or a poster
I read that as lurker or a protestor.
I was in Egypt a few months ago. Weird to see people rioting in places I recognise, particularly the highway flyovers and Tahrir Square.
New thread above. Smells like cinnamon buns!
