Yoo Finally Discovers A Limit To Presidential Powers


ABOVE: The DoubleChin Twins: Kim Jong Un and John Yoo

Shorter John Yoo, America’s Shittiest Website
Richard Cordray & the Use and Abuse of Executive Power

    • Although I have argued that Republican presidents have the power to crush children’s testicles in the name of national security, I am offended at Obama’s abuse of power when he chose to ignore a procedural trick implemented by the Republicans to prevent recess appointments.

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

    At least John Yoo is able to publish in the most widely respected venues.

     
     

    Holy crap, another Republican with no neck. Lemme guess, the aliens who built the Republicans from parts had to remove their necks when they removed their hearts and consciences.

     
     

    Necks ISREAL.

     
     

    Same aliens built giraffes and ran out of spares.

     
     

    The necks are worth a lot of money quatloos back on the home planet.

    Any private party can challenge this nomination by refusing to obey any regulation issued by the agency as the act of an unconstitutional officer.

    Ahh, the famously successful Taitz maneuver. Did they share a law school? It would be irresponsible and such and such and such.

     
     

    Check out the comments over there. Yoo is really getting trashed. Is that liberal trolling, or is there genuine revulsion among conservatives for the flotsam of the Dubya era?

     
     

    Good to sea that our own jim’s excellent comment is right at the top. Also interesting to note the meager amount of Yoo love.

     
     

    Great minds, Scribe, great minds.

     
     

    Even with my broad view of executive power, I’ve always thought that each branch has control over its own functions and has the right — if not the duty — to exclude the others as best it can from its own decisions.

    The Senate is just doing its thing and not paying any attention to what the executive branch is doing.

     
     

    Recess appointments are worse than torture?

    Oh, fuck Yoo!

    FUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

     
    Comrade Rutherford
     

    Please fix:

    Although I have argued that Republican presidents have the power to torture children by crushing their testicles in the name of national security, I am offended at Obama’s abuse of power when he chose to utilize a well-worn Republican trick to ignore a different procedural trick that is also implemented by the Republicans to prevent recess appointments.

     
     

    each branch has control over its own functions and has the right — if not the duty — to exclude the others as best it can from its own decisions

    ESPECIALLY the advise and consent functions.

     
    Comrade Rutherford
     

    John Yoo: Kim Jong Un approves!

     
     

    The proof is in the picture! Yoo looks just like an enemy combatant/terrorist to me. Quick, someone ship him off to Gitmo and crush his balls!!!

     
     

    I’ve always thought that each branch has control over its own functions

    I don’t think Lugar has had control over his functions for years.

     
     

    I don’t think Lugar has had control over his functions for years.

    I’m OK on binomials still but I’m starting to have trouble with the higher orders.

     
     

    Yoo needs a bowler hat that can decapitate a statue.

     
     

    I’m OK on binomials

    Me too although I don’t think they have the right to get married.

     
     

    I don’t believe in binomials. They must make a choice.

    I like pi.

     
     

    yes, but waxed or not?

     
     

    irrational numbers ISRAEL

    The square root of -1, OTOH …

    Meanwhile, I think I know why Yoo is against recess appointments: he doesn’t want to have an appointment during recess as it will interfere with the time he gets to spend outside during recess, having fun — playing tetherball, digging in the sandbox, enjoying the show as the bullies torture the nerds …

     
     

    Fuck John Yoo with a nitro-burning, fuel-injected, hemi-powered chainsaw.

    Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

     
     

    This is kind of what I had in mind:

     
     

    jim’s excellent comment is right at the top.

    Actually got out of the boat just to read the comments. Yoo is getting lashed … and Jim wields quite a cat-o-nine-tails.

    Must sorta piss off the Shittiest Website.

    In the immortal words of Tennessee Williams,

    Of course, if Obama had simply decided to chain a naked Mitch McConnell (sorry!) in a room with ankle-deep water and clamp jumper-cables to his testicles until he agreed to approve the Consumer Protection Agency and Labor Department nominiees, that would be perfectly OK with Prof. Kim-Yung-Yoo

     
     

    if Obama had simply decided to chain a naked Mitch McConnell (sorry!) in a room with ankle-deep water and clamp jumper-cables to his testicles

    Which side is positive and which is negative?

     
     

    Do I have a TV clip that’s relevant to just about every occasion?

    NOOOOOOO.

    I don’t see a negative side to that scenario at all

    Why would you do that to a poor Galapagos turtle?

    Ooh, I remember this one: “you both get dirty but McConnell enjoys it,” right?

     
     

    I, for one, am tired of the tyranny of children’s testicles. Particularly the girls’.

     
     

    Just finished the Christina Hendriks episode….

    There are two Christina Hendricks episodes.

     
     

    I can’t believe you fuckers tricked me into getting out of the boat. Yeah, jim’s initial comment and a few of the first ones are fine, and dandy. Then you round the corner and fall into a fetid swamp with rotten mangoes and tigers and shit-throwing howler monkeys.

    Grr.

     
     

    Coincidence or Fate? I picked up the remote and flicked on BBC, but all I got was a bunch of fuzz….then I remembered, today is La Toma De Posesion, today José Daniel Ortega Saavedra (aka, El Comandante) officially though unconstitutionally assumes his second consecutive term as Presidente de Nicaragua. Therefore all cable channels except government owned/operated have been temporarily shut down. I mean, if I want to watch teevee, I have to watch the official act. Kind of interesting. It’s a beautiful breezy evening in the Plaza de la Revolcuion with Lago Managua in the background. Hugo Chavez is here (boy, he’s gaining a little weight), Mahmoud Ahmadinejad maybe, Principe Felipe de Espana, bunches of officials from other Central and South American countries, mostly wearing guyaberas (in solidarity, although Ortega usually wears his nehru shirt.)

    If John Yoo wants to work for a real Unitary Executive, maybe he should contact the office of Daniel Ortega.

    “Live from Managua, Nicaragua, it’s the Toma de Posesion Show!”

    Here he comes, El Comandante and his wondrous Rosario Murillo, La Primera Dama. Wow! Mahmoud is here! Boy are they pissed there’s noone here representing the U.S……

     
     

    Yeah, I broke my own rule and dove over the side to have look-see. It was nice that jim’s asswhipping post got ‘firstest’, but the fun did seriously dwindle as the pages went on. Every time I tell myself- “Self, don’t do it, man, just dont- remember the *last* time?” And I ignore that side of my brain’s pleading with the other side- I get beat, once again. Dammit.

    I guess I’m good for this year- boat-exit-wise. Got that outta the way early! I guess my fascination with crooked aw enforcement officials is still alive, barely.

    As I just discovered.

    Okay, now I understand the ‘bunk’ reference in Sadlyville. Before watching Firefly I thought it was a ‘summer-camp’ reference. Super-charged teen hormones and all that. If you know what I mean. And I think you do.

     
     

    I’m actually disappointed. If you can’t count on John “Presidents can do whatever they like” Yoo to be intellectually consistent, what can you count on? The world just seems a scarier and more unstable place now.

    I mean, say what you like about crushing a child’s testicles in the name of public safety, at least it’s an ethos.

     
     

    I tell you, roast the equine back steaks, keep the juices. Add red wine, garlic, wholegrain mustard. Reduce slowly.

    5) 1 liter “Fear Itself” hot sauce.

    6) 1 flock freshly sheared sheep.

    Fold ingredients into pot, mix thoroughly. Dunk sheep to taste.

    Serves 10-20 ogres.

    I find it interesting that the city squares of most american cities are occupied by a courthouse rather than a plaza.

    Me too. I’ve toured all over the South and found that most towns are built around the court house, and most even have the south facing Confederate soldier leaning on his musket. For Faulkner the town square was the court house and it represented the center of the universe. (Absalom! Absalom!… “laying its vast shadow to the uttermost rim of horizon”).

    It’s an all comsuming symbol, with power concentrated at the middle, radiating out and summoning all serious matters to its center. The town square represents savagery conquered and domesticated.

    In Latin America the center of the universe is the great Plaza with all the institutions arranged around it in a neat cuadrangle. They are competing interests, with the Church and the Court house and even the Market place all given at least the semblance of equality. People fill the Plazas, children, dogs, horses, vendors, clowns, all sorts of people-activity. The Plaza represents the world as it is, not necessarily as it should be.

    The most beautiful Plaza I have seen is in Bogota, Colombia. But there are many I have not seen.

    When roy tackled this topic, he title the post “Boo Fucking Hoo”. A commenter noted that he should have titled it “Boo Fucking Yoo Hoo.” To which another commenter replied, “the image that brings to mind is that of a mentally-challenged Southern man abusing a bottle of chocolate drink.” That was the gist of it anyway; I can’t be arsed to go cut and paste the exact comment.

    It is kinda quiet. Does anyone know much about living in New Haven Ct? there is a small but non zero chance I will be living there next year.

     
     

    I’m posting this article everywhere because it pissed me off so much. You know what I did when I was a vegetarian? I DIDN’T GO TO BBQ JOINTS.

    Yet again, the NYT shows itself to be a paper for rich white people who can’t stop complaining.

     
     

    I can name at least 3 vegetarian restaurants here in Columbus, OH just from memory.

     
     

    I DIDN’T GO TO BBQ JOINTS.

    Kill-joy.

    Jennifer — Yeah, I’m not a vegetarian, but I’d no more take a vegetarian friend or relative to my favourite BBQ joint (Chinese BBQ in London, Ontario, if you ever happen to be in the nabes) than I would take one of my Orthodox Jewish work colleagues. Although I did once see a guy in a kippa eating there, which sort of made me wonder. (The Chinese default meat is pork, and there’s even a cartoon pig on the restaurant’s logo.)

    I guess if you’re rich enough to be a vegetarian in the midwest, you can whine loudly enough to get a feature in the NYT, though.

     
     

    Kong, I can think of three in KC, where the author is from, and I can think of a shitload more places that have vegetarian options. And I don’t live there. The regionalism, snobbery, and ignorance in that article just set me off.

    Sure, ideally, everyone would eat less meat and restaurants would offer more vegetarian options, but I’m not going to feel sorry for a grown-ass adult who had to eat a roll for dinner at a fried chicken place (since when was KC known for its fried chicken, anyway, wtf?) when (s)he’s made a moral decision that any normal person could anticipate would involve some sacrifice.

    I guess if you’re rich enough to be a vegetarian in the midwest, you can whine loudly enough to get a feature in the NYT, though.

    I think that depends on where you live. I think there’s more of a barrier to eating healthfully in general than being a vegetarian. You can live off mac and cheese and ramen and frozen burritos and still be a vegetarian.

    An extraordinarily flatulent vegetarian, I would think.

     
     

    Oh, duh, yeah, T&U…my cognitive slip is showing. I do eat meat but I cannot eat dairy and have to limit eggs, so when I think of “vegetarian,” I think of “vegan” pretty much by default. I shoulda thought of that — in the Midwest, dairy is cheap as dirt; everything’s covered with it. Which explains why *I* try not to go there. 😀

     
     

    Come to think of it, if we’re talking cheap, I’d rather eat dirt than dairy products. Pica chew, I choose you!

     
     

    Oh, yeah, totally. Eggs are cheap in the Midwest, too.

    I’ve never tried, but I think it’s expensive to be vegan anywhere, unless you’re doing the beans and rice thing every day for pretty much every meal. Which will, indeed, make you flatulent.

     
     

    I am sad to report that New Haven is a crime-ridden craphole. On the other hand, it’s easy to have a good time there: just get on the train to NYC.

    This confirms the reports I have already heard of the city’s reputation. How long of a train ride would it be to NYC? If I move there, is it possible to commute to NYC for work? Realistically, if I live there, and I don’t want to commute more than an hour to work, how many miles is that in the eastern megalopolis traffic hell that I assume the place is?

     
     

    Helmut –

    It’s 90 minutes by train, assuming you’re commuting by Metro-North and not Amtrak.

    And I-95 in Connecticut, which is the direct route to anywhere other than Hartford, stinks on ice.

     
     

    I commuted from Fairfield, which is only two or three stops closer to NYC than New Haven on Metro-North. So yes, I would say that is a definite possibility, although it will certainly take you more than an hour each way — probably closer to two hours door to door from New Haven. I would not recommend attempting to drive into the city for any reason short of sheer desperation.

    New Haven proper has Yale and… that’s pretty much it as far as attractions go. Try to get some sort of off-street parking arrangement unless you want your car broken into once a week.

    Fun fact: I saw the Decemberists at Toad Hall in New Haven. Then I moved to Portland for five years and didn’t see a single local band while I was there.

    No, I’d say that’s not it at all. It’s that John Yoo and Korea’s newest brutal dictator both look and think similarly. I’d expect Tintin to be pretty sensitive to stereotyping.

     
     

    Incredibly important world-changing up-to-teh-minute news – (credit Daily Tucker Fucker, via Mr. Bogg)

    Two years ago, the White House threw an Alice in Wonderland themed Halloween party for military children. Tim Burton provided decorations, Johnny Depp provided himself and his own cigs (including an extra for the president), and the White House kitchen provided cookies.

    The White House immediately went into cover-up mode, releasing photos of the event only to the non-Tucker fourth estate fifth column, and refusing to divert an aircraft carrier, make a sign, or find a 6’3″ flightsuit for prepared remarks.

    Taxes paid for those cookies, and Jaime Dimon had to send a sous-chef home early for an evening. Sugar was not consumed by Rush Limbaugh. Unexpected early 21th century events prevented John McCain from yelling at the kids to Get Off His Lawn.

    I hate these muddafukkas.

    The comments are priceless.

     
     

    Yeah, I’m not a vegetarian, but I’d no more take a vegetarian friend or relative to my favourite BBQ joint (Chinese BBQ in London, Ontario, if you ever happen to be in the nabes) than I would take one of my Orthodox Jewish work colleagues. Although I did once see a guy in a kippa eating there, which sort of made me wonder.

    In “Portnoy’s Complaint,” there’s a reference to how the title character and his family, while keeping kosher, sometimes ate pork in Chinese restaurants. I don’t have the book in front of me (no longer work from home…*sob*) but it’s something to the effect of, the stuff was so shredded and doused in soy sauce that it wasn’t recognizable as pork anymore, which removed the guilt.

     
     

    vacuumslayer-

    I actually interviewed Cory Burnell for a now-defunct S.C. alt-weekly back in 2004. Kinda had the Santorum thing going in that he’s just the nicest-sounding fella until you address the derp coming out of his piehole.

    It was a slow summer, so we made it the cover story. I liked that he talked to me during his break at a Radio Shack or whatever. Gotta start somewhere.

     
     

    I remember when I was a kid watching the Tonight Show there were conversations I didn’t understand. Shortly after Portnoy’s Complaint came out, Philip Roth was on. Erica Jong was the first guest, and Carson asked her if she had read P’s C. Her response was “Yes, and I’m looking forward to meeting Mr. Roth, but I don’t think I’m going to shake his hand.”

     
     

    From vacuumslayer’s link:

    Burnell said his inspiration came from the Free State Project, which in October 2003 appealed to libertarians to move to New Hampshire for limited government intervention, lower taxes and greater individual rights. By 2006, organizers had hoped to have 20,000 people committed to relocating to New Hampshire; so far, 6,600 have said they intended to make the move, and only 100 have done so.

    Christian Exodus, Burnell predicted, will be more successful.

    Just curious…how could it possibly be less successful?

     
     

    N_B, I think it was actually Jackie Collins who said that. A writer even more worthless than Jong.

    May well be. At the time I had no idea who any of them were.

    After scrutinizing electoral records, demographic trends and property prices, Christian Exodus members identified two upstate South Carolina counties – they will not officially say which ones – as prime for a conservative takeover.

    I LOVE this idea. Localize the dipshits and reap two benefits: 1) fewer of them around the rest of us and 2) easier to keep an eye on

    It’d be shitty for the poor saps currently living in the targeted counties but sometimes ya just gotta take one for the team. Besides, with the massive influx of Talibangelicals, property values should go up. What better time to sell and move?

    Second. Those assholes have been bitching and moaning about being in the Union since the 1830s. What has S.C. ever done for the rest of us, other than decent barbecue and a couple of good college football teams?

    Ahchyoo!

     
     

    I see our favorite constitutional scholar is back, throwing all those stupid “laws” and stuff under the stupid “bus” where the shit belongs.

     
     

    Pup, you forgot SC’s original dick, John Rutledge:

    “religion and humanity have nothing to do with the questions” of whether the Constitution should protect slavery–it was simply a question of property rights”

     
     

    SC was the last place someone pointed a gun at me and that wasn’t the worst of that particular 24 hours.

    I did my time in New Haven and have good friends that live there now, Helmut, I can answer any questions you have at my name, no space or diacritical marks at gmail.

    I will be emailing you. My fiance got an interview for grad school there, and if she is accepted we are on our collective way, later this year.

    From T&U’s NYT link:

    Even though the region boasts some of the finest farmland in the world, there is a startling lack of fresh produce here.

    Uh, dumbass, it’s January… there’s a startling lack of fresh produce everywhere in the U.S.

    My laptop went kaput, and I had to order a new power cord for my antiquated laptop, which just arrived today.

     
     

    What, you’re too good to use the urine-stained computers at the library? Well, la di day.

    Nah, the pee costs extra!

    Oh, and Helmut, if the move to New Haven goes through, try checking out the employment situation in Stamford- there are a lot of big companies there, and your commute would not be so brutal.

    Also, East Rock, West Rock, and Sleeping Giant state parks are awesome.

    I am sure there is fresh produce available in Hawaii. Unless the birthers are partially right and Hawaii isn’t really part of the US …

     
     

    I dunno about that image… John Yoo actually looks handsome and square-jawed next to freaky baby-face Li’l Kim. I mean, Dear Leader looks like the giant witch baby Boh from Spirited Away. Uncanny.

     
     

    That is racist. What does John Yoo have to do with North Koreans except that they all look Asian?

    Very nasty.
