Heads The Birthers Win, Tails Obama Loses


ABOVE: Mark J. Fitzgibbons

Shorter Mark J. Fitzgibbons, The American Birther
Obama the Inchoate Kenyan

  • Either Obama was born in Kenya or he’s a liar

God himself could descend from the heavens in a burning, fiery chariot, land in Times Square in a flourish of lightning and thunderbolts, appear on live TV and say that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, that he witnessed it himself, and that he was as certain of that fact as he was that the Cubs will never win the World Series and yet there would still be millions of Republicans who would take issue with even this testimony, who would claim that this wasn’t really God because he didn’t look like Charlton Heston, or that it might be God but that God was perpetrating liberal lies because he had been bought and paid for by the Democrats and the Lamestream Media. Breitbart.com would analyze the tapes and conclude that God was really Al Sharpton in a beard and a fat suit and that the lightning had all the earmarks of cheap, computer-generated effects.

So, now, of course, birth certificate be damned, the Birtherites are all a-twitter because of a statement published by a literary agency in a 1991 bio of Obama stating that Obama was born in Kenya. (Query: if I take my web bio with me to vote to prove that I’m an American, will that be sufficient?) The person who wrote the bio has said that it was her mistake, that there was no basis for her statement that Barack was born in Kenya. Hah, of course, she would say that now, the birthers clamor. At least if she doesn’t want to be killed by the White House. Like Andrew Breitbart was.

Never ones to let a wonderful opportunity for proslepsis go by the wayside, the mental titans over at The American Thinker have dreamed up a way to spread the story while claiming that they don’t really believe Obama was born in Kenya. (Wink, wink.) Actually, it’s better even than that because it’s a perfect melding of proslepsis and the wingnut all-time favorite, Heads We Win, Tails Obama Loses. So we have Mark Fitzgibbons, allegedly a lawyer of some sort, waving the Obama bio about like a host-filled monstrance in a Corpus Christi procession, not as proof of Obama’s birth place but as proof that Obama conspired with his literary agent to claim he was Kenyan in order to sell his book. Because, of course, nothing pushes a book up into the best seller list like having an African author. Why, there are at least several thousand best-sellers by Kenyans in the past twenty years alone. You probably didn’t know it but both Harry Potter and The Hunger Games were written by Kenyans. True fact.

And what should be the punishment for this vile manipulation of the invisible hand of the free market? Nothing would be too harsh for this dastardly violation of the principle of the free market which “goes back to the Old Testament.” (Yes, Fitzgibbons actually mentions that missing commandment: “Thou Shalt Have A Free Market and Shall Not Covet Thy Neighbor’s Socialist Safety Net.”). Death?  Impeachment?  Better yet, death by impeachment? Maybe some waterboarding and the rack thrown in for good measure?

It makes you wonder where all the torches and pitchforks were when George Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction to plunge this country into war with Iraq. That doesn’t count because, shut up, that’s why.

I draw that same washboard on my gut when I go to parties in my half-shirt.

I can picture Fitz the Gibbon rubbing his hands together, cackling madly to himself thinking about how clever he was. And that’s really the saddest part of it, that he thinks his disengenuity was fiendishly clever and that for his audience it was. One can almost feel sorry for them.

 
 

Wearing a halter top does tend to emphasize one’s moobs.

That, of course, would be ad hominem if it was the reason I discount this man’s argument, but fortunate my reason for discounting his argument is that it has been demonstrated to be wrong, places a burden of proof on Obama that no whiter candidate has ever faced, and is internally self-contradictory.

 
 

So, instead of drawing up a lawsuit, he goes to the pages of “American Thinker,” because??????

 
 

I see this as a part of the larger attack on voter’s rights. Once they convince enough people that a birth certificate is not acceptable proof of citezenship then they will be able to ban ALL people from voting and have their dream scenario where the Supreme Court selects the president every four years. Of course, they forgot to consider the downside – no one will be eligible to be president.

 
 

and is internally self-contradictory.

Which are the perfect spokes in this ever-turning wheel. Contradictory, yes! That leaves enough fog around this issue for stupid people to dream up a new conspiracy every day. Somehow this is tied into that fakeass lunar landing in ’69. Elvis and Hilter are in on it too, I think. Also, ILLUMINATI.

 
 

that fakeass lunar landing in ’69.

Not to mention when they got OJ to fake the Mars landing.

 
 

It is reasonable to believe that someone attempted to commit fraud in a commercial context when Barack Obama’s literary agency published that he was born in Kenya.

“Reasonable” apparently doesn’t mean what I thought, since it’s nowhere close to fraud as he defines it in his own article and since the article linked to prove “that the statement was more than just a fact-checking error by his literary agent” doesn’t.

 
 

That Flash costume is inaccurate. There’s no mask and the circle on the chest should be white not red. I’m beginning to think Mark J. Fitzgibbons isn’t the Flash at all.

Or wait, what Earth does this take place on?

One of the most important rules of successful marketing is to distinguish your product from others. Merely heading the Harvard Law Review is not a story worthy of a book. Being the first Kenyan-born person to do so, well, that’s more of a story to sell.

Even on its own ridiculous terms, this argument fails. It’s been demonstrated over and over that black African and Caribbean immigrants,and their children, do better in education and employment than African-Americans. (Why this is would be a whole other thread…my guess is that we probably only let in people from those areas who are better educated in the first place.) Having an African-American, especially one who grew up poor, as president of the Harvard Law Review would be less likely than having an immigrant.

Also…”Merely heading the Harvard Law Review”? What prestigious school gave Fitzgibbons Esq. his degree?

Sadly, No! That would be too elitist! He went and got a proper education.

 
 

It could also be used as a temporary tattoo.

 
 

So, instead of drawing up a lawsuit, he goes to the pages of “American Thinker,” because??????

Much easier to argue the case in a forum that accepts your every word as fact.

STFU! Founded in 1337.

 
 

I guess it’ll have to remain a mystery. This bio is conspicuously silent on the subject, although it does report that “and state regulators have described him as ‘very litigious,’ ‘contemptuous,’ and ‘a royal pain,'” which apparently is something to be proud of.

 
 

“STFU! Founded in 1337.”

On a Wednesday. About tea-time.

It is reasonable to believe that someone attempted to commit fraud in a commercial context when Barack Obama’s literary agency published that he was born in Kenya. The few known facts seem to provide enough to constitute probable cause to probe whether an unlawful act occurred.

I fear the president will end up in prison, just as Rob and Fab did.

 
 

It makes you wonder where all the torches and pitchforks were when George Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction to plunge this country into war with Iraq.

Right. The same war that hasn’t contributed a penny to the deficit. Remember, when republicans are in charge deficits don’t.

Most conservatives who I’ve talked to disavow W because he wasn’t really a conservative. Yes, they voted for him twice. Yes they howled in outrage when anyone would dare criticize a president in a time of war. But he wasn’t a real conservative and …look! a Kenyan!

I support this platform!

 
 

It’s pretty obvious (to me) that those costumes are tights/pantyhose w/ leotards over them. No shorts needed.

 
 

They’re supposed to be armour. Batman in armour I get, but why the fuck would Superman of all people need armour?

I really I hate those costumes. They’re a pain in the ass to draw and it shows. No two artists seem to be able to draw them the same.

Anyway, enough of my nerd crap.

Nope, Cyborg. Formerly of the Teen Titans – in the new continuity, he’s one of the founding members of the Justice League.

So there was this asswipe whinger a while back who complained about gay actiors not being believable in MANLY roles? I want to find him and ruin the newest Bond films. I just found out Daniel Craig (hummina hummina) is one of those open secrets. Yeah, I need to get out more.

 
 

They’re supposed to be armour. Batman in armour I get, but why the fuck would Superman of all people need armour?

Because some artists cannot draw consistent battle damage that would come with drawing Superman in (semi-)regular clothing, so with battle armor not only can he take harder hits, but the artist doesn’t have to worry about “Was the tear 5 centimeters up and left or ten centimeters up and right in that crossover?”

The guy who played the misogynist jock DJ on “Fraiser” is gay, and let’s just say that Neil Patrick’s Harris’ character in the “Harold & Kumar” movies (not to mention his character in “How I Met Your Mother”) is definitely against type.

The right to own and trade in slaves is essential if the prices are to stay low and the suppliers are to find new sources.

 
 

I fear the president will end up in prison, just as Rob and Fab did.

What I never got about that whole scandal is that nobody ever talked about whoever it was that actually made those records. If they were “good enough for a Grammy” before, shouldn’t the actual creators deserve the credit and the award? Anyone paying attention already knew the Grammies were completely meaningless, but this amounted to the NARAS virtually coming right out and admitting it.

 
 

Craig is gay? *sob*

Cuz, you know, if he weren’t I’d have a shot…

 
 

I read most of Jonah Goldberg’s books and I would love to see your cover art on the next one.

But wouldn’t the composition of the cover art be ruined by Goldberg’s his publisher’s insistence on sticking a rosette in the middle with the words “Twice Pulitzer Prize Nominee”?

At first I thought it already was. So hard to tell anymore.

In the Silver Age, Superman’s costume was indestructible because it came from Krypton like he did.

After Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was changed so that Superman’s costumes came from Earth (they were in fact sewed by Ma Kent) but were rendered indestructible by the bioelectric field which surrounds his body about an inch out. This meant that most of the costume wouldn’t get damaged (unless he sustained punishment that hurt his body too, like in his fight with Doomsday), but the cape, which was out of the field’s protection, frequently got torn to shreds.

In the new continuity, the costume, described as Kryptonian armour, is back to being indestructible in in of itself again.

I suspected there might be a problem when I saw the opening credits and how they changed the Wonder Woman theme song lyrics:

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman,
All the red states wait for you,
And the unlimited executive power you possess

In her satin tights
She will extradite
Your ass back to Timbuktu

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman,
You’re Ayn Rand in spandex,
Wonder Woman

Make a dove a hawk,
Beat you ’til you talk,
Waterboard you ’til you’re blue

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman,
Get us lower tax rates, Wonder Woman,
Make the unions break, turn the gays all straight,
You’d shoot Trayvon Martin, too.

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman,
Save the unborn,
Wonder Woman

Fight a War on Drugs,
You make Atlas Shrug,
Close the borders, Praise the Lord

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
If I say your name enough it proves I’m 100% heterosexual,
Wonder Woman.

 
 

oooooooh you people make me soooo mad! here i was just innocently perusing the last post in search of some funneh, and what do i find? a link to the sadly archives…goddammit! you know i’m gonna click on it and then read every goddamn entry, thereby not getting anything done at work today! but i did find this matt furey fanboi comment quite humorous:

go fuckoff & die somewhere & be a fat fatigued lazy lampnoodle

so all is forgiven…also, too…dr. dong (heh) told us the EXACT OPPOSITE of the docs in sioux falls…thus, we’ll be going to the mayo in july…grrrr…

also, re: last thread w/the mary jane…i know hubbkf would benefit from regular use…i believe my fibromyalgia and i would as well…

 
 

Oh what a shame, there was such a good case to be made for fraud and sin against free market principles that American Stinker represents facts to its readers, but it’s perfectly clear that its readers wouldn’t know a fact from an 18 inch dildo shoved up their asses since both cause the same amount of butthurt. OK Stinkers, keep flipping that coin and declaring victory, your followers don’t get the scam.

 
 

Y’know, back in the day (holy FSM — 12+ years ago now. I feel old.) John Hodgman used to do an Ask A Former Professional Literary Agent column at McSweeney’s — I bet he could get to the bottom of this whole Kenyan-usurper-dustjacket brouhaha. Somebody should give him a call.

 
 

No, no, Gerard van der Leun deserves some special lifetime award for repeated additions to the gaiety of nations.

Holy
Crap!

i just thought he was a random jack that stumbled into the comments at LGM, I had not idea the extent of his oeuvre. That shit has been bookmarked. Thankyouverymuch!

 
 

One last thing — regarding the eclipse fun from yesterday’s thread I missed: I was working outside (stupid yard!) and said to myself, “self, it sure seems awfully dark for this early in the evening” and then I remembered that there was an eclipse happening. That provided a good excuse to stop working in the yard.

Anywho, I did get to see the eclipse here, but it was cloudy. Multiple pairs of sunglasses and the cloudy skies let me at least see the crescent shape, but I couldn’t find a proper filter for a real view. I’ll have to track down my welding mask out in the shop in time for the Venus transit.

Still on the topic of Gerard van der Leun… his most recent attempt to change the landscape of US politics with his Deep Serious Relevant Thinking was as Editor in Chief of Rightnetwork, which continued for about three months before the patron’s money ran out.

 
 

While the article itself is ludicrous straight out of the gate (“It is reasonable to believe that someone attempted to commit fraud in a commercial context when Barack Obama’s literary agency published that he was born in Kenya.” Really? Wouldn’t it be more reasonable to believe someone simply screwed up?), it is the frothing-at-the-mouth comments afterwards that makes me grateful for anonymous lurking, because I don’t think I would want to be in the same state as these lunatics.

What failed law school produced this garbage:

The free market depends on honest quid pro quo. Fraud is generally defined as misrepresenting a material fact to induce another person to part with something of value.

The quid pro quo between private parties to a transaction need not be equal in the eyes of others, or government regulators, but just fair to the parties to the transaction.

Dumbshit throwing around Latin phrases like a crutch and doesn’t even know what scienter is, apparently. Quid pro quo has nothing to do with fraud.

Shit, I forgot the city. Shitty Wok! So I’ll fix it with some cut-and-pasta:

George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina.

I feel better now.

 
 

george tierney of greenville south carolina has totally made my day…which is good because i haz a sad, sad, sad…

hubbkf and i went shroom hunting this evening…no morels *gasp* i know…we thinks our shrooms have a three year cycle of harvest…we also looked in the refuge…we saw the same 3 deer who were apparently stalking us, a woodcock (heh) and a pair of discarded poo poo undies…which i took a picture of but cannot transfer from my stoopid pantech jest fone…this makes me feel a bit like george tierney of south carolina in that i am having a major technology fail…

i’m a wee bit tired from all the shroom hunting…so it’s off to bed for me…i will hardly be able to sleep with the anticipation of what hijinks that george tierney of greenville south carolina will get up to tomorrow!

Oh, no, Mr. Tierney, that would be George, Jr., of Greenville in South Carolina is having a full-on twitterdown. His posts, just from the last two hours, are classics of the genre. Assuming he hasn’t been hacked–there’s a lot of speculation about that in his feed–he’s catapulted himself from Leroy Jenkins-level fame to, oh, a Joe the Plumber-level orbit.

Some samples:

…i think anyone who votes obama, needs a labotomy..you included ass monkey…

…alcoholic??? oh you admit to needing a a drink…recovery? hows bill and the big book? high on lsd…

…husband and atheist=[ fuckchop, dumbass…

…adults talk, you cant, but i dont insult that…you just cant figure out the nigger is a liar…good luck…

…ya cant fix stupid, and you fucks are retards…love it…you think im quitting?? obama and his followers are gd idiots…

…im george tierney jr, in sc, not sr…leave my father alone…

Fox Tomorrow Today:

1. Why is Sandra Fluke Embarrassing Herself?

2. Some people might see the tweets that her tweets provoke and those some people might have children. Not like Sandra Fluke. She doesn’t realize that her tweets are forever in the eyes of some. She’s entitled to her opinion but why does she embarrass herself? Doesn’t she know that her tweets are public.

3. Some, like George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina–as he is known in the internets, a social media network–think Fluke is over the top and have reluctantly threatened to sue.

 
 

How long before George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina gets his own show on Fox? I’m guessing Malkin and Coulter will guest host.

 
 

Faking the birth notice … bribing the Hawaiian officials … threatening the literary agent to say she made a mistake … risky, expensive & stressful as hell, but it was all worth it.

At last! The payoff!

 
 

It’s a shame that George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is from Greenville South Carolina. I thought Greenville South Carolina was pretty nice, quite unlike what I think of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina.

 
 

George Teirney of Greenville, South Carolina is a misogynistic, ratfucking Racist, who will forever more have problems with the ladies.

Thirdly to the last, or most recent TBogg post on the subject of:George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina

Next I think it is time to asciify the linkyfoo so that it can be copypasted by those with limited html-fu, who nonetheless possess hearts of gold, unlike George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina

what’s a dy dick? is it anything like dyi?

 
 

yeah, that was me…

 
 

jim,

It looks more like they’ve gone into full-on “yarp,” actually.

 
 

should i or shouldn’t i be surprised that george tierney of greenville south carolina watches reality tv?

 
 

what’s a dy dick? is it anything like dyi?

i saw that when I was sceencapping his twitter oeuvre for posterity. i just put in the r and read it as dry, and figured i’d examine the ramblings of George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina, when i assembled the post..

Nice catch, though I am not sure what would make a dry dick any worse than a wet one, though not being the conniseur of other dicks myself I fail to parse the insult. And near as i can tell from a skimming of the twitterings, If George Tierney of Greenville, South Carolina is not busy high fiving it over sports, then he is spewing misogynist and racist invective.

I could almost brought myself to a place where I might feel sorry for the Jack, but then he simply cannot help but to double down.

last i checked the G-ville, SC search had landed him on the second page of the google, by the end of the day or two, he will not only be on the first page, but likely take the first spot.

🙂

 
 

I’m thinking he was going for “dry dick”. Is that a thing?

 
 

just to be clear, the dry dick problem is in response to the sucking of, which seems to be his go to insult. I might not have caught the other context in which, of course a dry dick might not lead to a pleasant experience…

“dy” prolly means donkey. It works on a couple levels in the fevered brain of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina and he prolly just grabs shit from South Park when he’s fishing for a misogynist insult.

It is unseemly to pile on George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina. After all, unlike Rick Santorum, George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina is not a Senator in a position of power trying to deny gay people the rights common to the rest of Americans. George Tierney Jr, of Greenville south Carolina is a grown man working as a golf caddy. We do not know why a nominal ‘adult’ like George Tierney Jr. of Greenville South Carolina is unable to find work of a more remunerative and responsible nature. After all, isn’t there a little George Tierney Jr of Greeenville south Carolina in all of us? Who among us has not hurled vicious sexist insults at an innocent target of opportunity, maliciously blaming our own failures on those courageous enough to make a stand to make things better for a whole country? Who among us has not ignored a rapidly multiplying list of our own personal shortcomings and failures, every time we open our mouths revealing our own flaws and reviling even the thought of slowing down much less stopping the parade of wortless failure our life has become? George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina is locked in mortal combat with his worst enemy and he is losing. He doesn’t need us putting a spotlight on that.

Also Please don’t forget the ‘junior’. With a son like that, George Tierney senior has enough problems.

Neonicotinoids are not good for bees. Modern chem-enhanced civilization is not very good for bees. Bees that are out of reach of all neonicotinoids have still had real problems with CCD.

Among all the problems facing commercial bee colonies right now the most significant CCD threat [citation needed! but this comes from unpublished, though peer-reviewed, research] comes from the interaction between a mite borne virus (one of many, dozens, that the varroa mite is a vector for) and an intestinal disease that has jumped species from apis cerana. Beekeepers successfully controlling mites and treating for nosema are doing pretty well.

Most commercial beekeepers stay away from large corn plantings, they’re not good bee pasture (bees will collect corn pollen but there’s no nectar) and are pesticide rich.

 
 

i’m not sure if i feel sorry for george tierney jr of greenville south carolina’s dad…is father like son? or is george tierney jr of greensville south carolina a genetic anomaly and the father of george tierney jr of greensville south carolina is utterly mortified at george tierney jr of greensville south carolina?

ccd is partly why we lost our beekeeping business here in town…makes me sad…they were here for over 60 years…

 
 

Well, he was named George Tierney, jr, perhaps the lady doth protest too much and Junior is the milkman’s son.

I couldn’t say, maybe Gerge Tierney Jr, of Greenville SC is a chip off the old block, maybe not. What I can say is, George Tierney Sr, whatever his hypothetical failings as a father, never embarrassed himself and every man in this nation by hurling misogynist invective at Sandra Fluke in a public forum, and for that, I am willing to not try to make his life any worse, and argue that others give him a miss as well.

 
 

Thanks El M. I just did a bit more reading and its really fascinating stuff.

 
 

Just wondering, maybe “George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina” resolves down to just teh one guy. It’s entirely possible that George Tierney Sr. is not “of Greenville South Carolina”. Sure all signs point to George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina as the type of troll who lives in his mom’s basement (and shouldn’t come upstairs when she’s entertaining visitors – which is “all the time” – although this might explain his obsession with fellatio) but perhaps his parents are separated or divorced.

Next time I’m over visiting the mother of George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina, I’ll try to remember to ask about his dad.

Fresh tupelo honey harvested last week. Uses so far: cantaloup and grapefruit juices, dressing for Thai green papaya salad, poured on blackberries and in the peanut sauce for pork satay.

Tupelo has a reverse ratio of sucrose/fructose compared to most honeys and seems a little sweeter by volume to the taste. This also gives it shelf life which made it more valuable in the pre-industrial honey market. That grumpy Irish guy that made it so famous knew none of this.

You may have a point, but as there is no Jr. on his twitter page, I don’t feel bad using the name without it.

In fact, given that it is probably a name held by other unrelated parties there is liable to be considerable collateral damage. Oh well.

Another thing about George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is the red face. He looks like he’s just sniffed up everyone’s lines and is ready to lie about it.

 
 

Guys, this is mean. We have to stop saying “George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina”.

I dont think morels have a cycle but I’m no expert. I’d put my money on the weather. My harvest this year hasn’t been that great but that’s because I just haven’t been out much.

George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina is on the Twitter as we speak.

From said Twitter.:

im here and ready for the action! I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, so dont go there. not a right winger. im indepedent

Of course he is. Just like the Tea Party is “independent.” *wink-wink*

 
 

Let me guess, he’s one of those independents who “votes for the qualified candidate”.

Which (surprise surprise) always always always just so happens to be the Republican.

 
 

I find your list offensive. There’s absolutely no evidence that he (George Tierney, of Greenville South Carolina) likes golfing that much.

Hmm, is being a caddy better or worse then “just” being a “regular” golfer? I mean you have to be a golfer to be a caddy, right? You have to know what clubs to use in certain situations and such? And then you (if you’re George Tierney Jr., of Greenville South Carolina) have to make an excuse to head out in the “rough” just past the sand trap on the 13th green and suck off the priest you caddy for on Wednesdays.

Huh, no, that doesn’t clear it up at all.

 
 

Looking for the lost ball.

Also, too.

 
 

How is it that the Twitter-verse sensation that is George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina, a man who is all-up-in-teh-tubes, a regular overnight viral meme (or perhaps some other viral infection) has only 345 followers. I mean, yeah 345 followers ain’t zero, but for someone who must have hit seven figures in pageviews just today, that’s pretty low retention.

 
 

George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina has a couple of twats saying “Leave my father A-L-O-O-O-N-E !!!”.

George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina hurls potty-mouth twats against complete strangers. Will daddy’s fee-fees be hurt by seeing what a crude, asshat son he has raised? Well, tough petunias, Petunia.

All Pappy has to do is google George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina…and the context will make it perfectly clear that Junior’s behavior is the cause. Perhaps George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina dreads Pappy’s disappointment in him and fears Daddy’s reproach for shitting in public like an pre-toilet-training toddler.

Another possibility is that George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina didn’t fall far from the tree. In which case, it’s also tough petunias, Petunia.

Either way, George Tierney Jr of Greenville South Carolina is gonna get fucked by a rusty harpoon … and that’s fine by me.

Greenville South Carolina is the home of Bob Jones University.

 
 

Wait. 328 followers. WTF?! Notoriety and infamy is actually making him less relevant than when he was an obscure former golf pro.

SRSLY, everybody is talking about George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina. If George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina was a hashtag, say #GeorgeTierneyOfGreenvilleSC, then George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina would be a trending topic. And his # of followers is at best steady if not shrinking. And a quick perusal of that list indicates at least a few who are following FOR TEH LULZ (I’m looking at you Bouffant).

 
 

Of course he is. Just like the Tea Party is “independent.” *wink-wink*

Let me guess, he’s one of those independents who “votes for the qualified candidate”.

did someone say meme?

 
 

Downtown Greenville is one of teh nicest downtowns I’ve been in. Emminently walkable since they pulled out half the lanes of traffic decades ago. I was only there for the one day, but I have no complaints about teh brew pub where we had dinner. And I wouldn’t mind some moar time contemplating Falls Park.

OTOH, this is all I saw of Greenville when I wasn’t in offices or industrial facilities and it might be giving me a skewed view of teh place. For example, despite the walkable downtown, transit is almost non-existant. On the third hand, what little transit they do have comes with free wireless.

 
 

did someone say meme?

He’s been memed!

If “memed” isn’t a word, it should be.

Sheesh, yeah. I rode my bicycle to work (it was dry at the time), then it rained like hell, and got all windy, then dried out a little. I figured that’d be the perfect time to head out for a run. Of course after about half a mile it started pouring again and the wind tried to knock me over. Looking at the weather report just now I see that I can expect 30mph gusts on the bike ride home. That will certainly be delightful.

This time last week it was sunny and gorgeous. Spring in Oregon. Yay.

Or just click for street view. I’m kinda surprised there aren’t a few cars up on blocks in the yard. I shouldn’t be.

 
 

If Junior’s mom is alive, I wonder what she thinks of his utter hatred of women?

I bet his buddies call him “Junior” — or “Little George” or something. I also imagine that growing up hmm, no during adolescence hmm no… from ages 0 through 12 (yeah, that works) he was “Georgie” — that explains a lot nothing, never mind.

Yep, south waterfront. I should say that view wasnt actually from my window but from the balcony (18th floor) SWF is a brownfield redev area. Love it here, the streetcar stops right outside the building. Bagoas gets walked along the river every day. I like watching them build the barges at Zidell – one’s almost ready for launch which is fun to watch.

 
 

Yep, south waterfront.

Nice! That looks like a great area. I would love to get rid of my place and get a condo or something like that.

Digression: I love having a house but hate having a yard — whoever thought up the brilliant idea that we should spend our lives growing, manicuring, cutting and throwing away grass needs to be shot. Or, assuming they’re already dead, find out where they are buried so I can piss on their perfectly-manicured grave.

I like growing my own hops, but the rest of it just pisses me off.

Thorstein Veblen
 

Everyday life affords many curious illustrations of the way in which the code of pecuniary beauty in articles of use varies from class to class, as well as of the way in which the conventional sense of beauty departs in its deliverances from the sense untutored by the requirements of pecuniary repute. Such a fact is the lawn, or the close-cropped yard or park, which appeals so unaffectedly to the taste of the Western peoples.

I’m as guilty as anyone of taking our safe drinking water for granted in this country. Almost all of us have water quality that 90% of the planet would envy. It’s stuff like this that keeps it that way, though, and it’s a lot of work for a lot of people.

It’s pretty amazing when you realize that the Romans had indoor plumbing, which didn’t become readily available in modern times until the 1800s.

 
 

The Romans were fantastic engineers. I was lucky enough to tour Pompeii last fall and you could tell it was a thriving, sophisticated city. I got a laugh from the carved penis pointing to the red-light district. The public fountains there flowed constantly and the water flow helped keep the streets clean. Intersections had stepping stones for pedestrians to cross. Amazing place.

 
 

The Romans were totes amazing. Bridges, roads, aqueducts, baths still being used.

re: Romans

Pffft. I bet they couldn’t get past first year calc. Did they create teh means to photographically teh results when you have a POOP that is bigger than your head? Nuh-uh. NevermInd teh massive communications infrastructure required so that said photographs could be shared around the world.

 
 

Photographically capture.

 
 

Mini__B has had a few POOPs that are bigger than his entire body. I think he’s a Klein bottle.

 
 

A colon bottle you mean.

 
 

Ultra-Ninja’s POOPs look big for her size, but they’re still pretty small on an absolute scale. I had trouble putting it into context until I realized that I weighed eight times what she does.

Holy shit!

 
 

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 have the Romans done for us?

 
 

I’m seven times Mini__B’s weight, but I’m Somewhat oversize. Mrs__B is about 3.5 times his weight.

 
 

And yes, I’m literally twice the size of my wife.

 
 

Why come you didn’t caption Son of Baboons’ picture to make him testimonialize that since he started using Strong Bad’s Ab-Abber 2000, the ladies have been all up ons?

 
 

IIRC, the only reason the ancient Romans were able to have plumbing without pumps is that Rome is surrounded by hills that serve as natural water tanks, maintaining a constant downward flow and pressure. They lucked out, in other words.

 
 

It wasn’t just Rome. They built aqueducts in France (and probably other places) as well.

I’ve probably seen this one 5 times and it amazes me every time I see it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pont_du_Gard

 
Helmut Monotreme
 

I sometimes wonder about laws of eminent domain in the Roman Empire, they didn’t seem to be shy about knocking shit down so they could run an aqueduct or a road through. I wonder if the people that owned land in the right of way were compensated or SOL.

 
 

Also the Pantheon’s dome.

Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon’s dome is still the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome.[3] The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43.3 metres (142 ft).[4] It is one of the best preserved of all Roman buildings.

 
 

Helmut, do you also wonder if the American Indians were compensated?

 
 

It’s pretty amazing when you realize that the Romans had indoor plumbing, which didn’t become readily available in modern times until the 1800s.

my in-laws were waxing nostalgic yesterday and were telling us about how one of the houses they lived in before moving to odessa in 1960 only had a stool in the bathroom…one sink in the house and that was in the kitchen…they noted that this was a vast improvement over the facilities in previous houses…which were located out of doors…hell, little d used a wringer washer until sometime in the mid-60s…

 
Helmut Monotreme
 

Helmut, do you also wonder if the American Indians were compensated?

They weren’t building these things on the frontiers. They built them in places that had been settled and prosperous for at least decades and sometimes centuries. Which means that they were being built on land owned by Romans, probably rich Romans, who presumably wouldn’t be that easy to push around. So it stands to reason that the people building these things would have had to buy off at least some of the landowners and not just steal the land for the right of way.

 
Pupienus Maximus that's all, just the nym and nothing but the nym
 

The pantheon is impressive. When we were there we overheard some dipshit say something about the Romans building it for Jesus or something. I was compelled to tell him that it was made a catholic church many many years after it was built. And you’re an idiot.

 
 

So it stands to reason that the people building these things would have had to buy off at least some of the landowners and not just steal the land for the right of way.

render unto caesar what is caesar’s!

 
 

Also baths. The best preserved is, not surprisingly, in Bath in Great Britain. The original lead piping is visible; modern piping permits current operation.

There were usually three pools: hot (calderium), medium, and cold (frigidarium). The heated water came from underground firing rooms built on small columns of stone, then piped into the pool.

The Bath of Caracalla (Rome) is gigantic Now operas are staged there.

“Frontiers” Helmut? I really expected better from you. While the land had been settled for years, it was owned by Romans only after Rome conquered them.

 
Helmut Monotreme
 

IIRC, the only reason the ancient Romans were able to have plumbing without pumps is that Rome is surrounded by hills that serve as natural water tanks, maintaining a constant downward flow and pressure. They lucked out, in other words.

This, however is a pretty common situation for cities. Think of all of the biggest cities in the world. They are all near rivers or ports. Rome is on the Tiber, London is on the Thames, New York City is on, etc. Ready access to water is an important consideration when siting a new town, for all of the common reasons like drinking water, agriculture and movement of goods etc.

I think to say they got lucky sells the Romans short. Yes, Rome was in a good spot for aqueducts, but they wouldn’t have chosen to build the city there without ready access to water. The Romans really excelled at civil engineering and their mastery of concrete was un-equalled until the 20th century. Couple that with skilled stone workers all the slave labor you can drink, and the plundered wealth of the known world, and you have a recipe for some pretty impressive engineering. They also made some big mistakes in their civil engineering, as much of their plumbing, (and plates, and tableware, and artificial sweeteners* used lead.)(They also had a pagan religious order that built bridges the leader of which was titled ‘Pontifex Maximus’, so they took their civil engineering pretty seriously)
*lead acetate, look it up.

“Frontiers” Helmut? I really expected better from you. While the land had been settled for years, it was owned by Romans only after Rome conquered them.

Well of course. And it is those Romans that I was wondering about. Of course they weren’t going to compensate some random bunch of Gauls who thought that just cause they owned the place since time immemorial, that they were entitled to compensation for their land after Vercingetorix dropped the ball at Alesia. But that land was given to or sold to Roman citizens. Who then might have been able to try and get a good price for their land when someone wanted to put the Pont du gard right through their vinyard.

 
 

Helmut, do you also wonder if the American Indians were compensated?

I figured as much. Sorry for the delay in reply, but my laptop appeared to lose its usb ports yesterday in the middle of the afternoon and as the original keyboard and track pad are no longer functioning, the usb ports hook up the keyboard and mouse that I use. It was an Oh Fuck me now moment to be sure.

So i did what I usually do when electronics go tits up, I completely diasassembled the thing, let the motherboard out of the box hoping that when I reassembeled the machine that I might get lucky.

I got lucky. it seems about half the time If you completely disassemble electronics (last course of action, given that the item is question is completely non functional) the shit comes back to life. Gave me an opportunity to get a glimpse of the processor heat dissapation design, and to chase a couple of dust bunnies out of the way.

Wow, that is one wound up dude. Not like his twittertwats would have made that a surprise, but jeez give the guy some rope, and he’ll prepare enough nooses to cover every GToSC in the multiverse.

 
 

A sample:

George Tierney – Do you realize there are cures for cancer out there and I found nine of them. I went to the Oncologist…

GlossyNews.com – I saw that tweet. It didn’t make sense out of context.
George Tierney – I found nine cures for cancer and my oncologist told me, he said, there’s not a cure for cancer yet. Really? That’s why four guys that found cures for cancer ended up with arsenic death. [Andrew] Breitbart was getting ready to explode Obama and he ended up with arsenic death? The guy that last saw Breitbart ended up with arsenic death?

 
 

GlossyNews.com – Are you actually planning legal action or have you decided yet?
George Tierney – Oh I’m going to have legal action, yeah. I’m planning legal action against tbogg, whoever tbogg is, and I think it’s a female. Let me go back here I’ll tell you exactly who tbogg is … Female name that came back was Jennifer something, yeah she’s going to get legal action against her because she’s the one that started all this crap against me.

WHAT A MAROON! Everybody knows Carl is tbogg.

 
 

yeah, hubbkf has talked about doing just that…with the flat panel…maxine has been opened in the past few months by hubbkf and asshat…and yes, she is a laptop…g dang it, i miss her!

I’d go with the flat panel. You can also get on of those smaller ones, if you want to go for portability. I had to do that for a while when the monitor died on a previous laptop…Who’s asshat btw? Seems like a colorful character I should be aware of.

 
 

DKW, That dude is a ome man mango plantation.

 
 

Ah George, you just had to double cown and publicize your email addy on the interwebs.

From a comment a Jezebel:
It was nice of him to leave his email address, he’s now been signed up for emails alerts from Planned Parenthood, MoveOn.org, the DailyKos, the Obama 2012 campaign, and RAINN.

And now doubt you can multiply this by a 1000. Poor bastard had his email identity for who knows how long, and will be forced to abandon it come up with a different handle merge contact lists, notify contacts….This guy just served himself a heaping helping of pain in the ass. i though this bit from Jezebel was spot on:
Here’s the thing, George: Thanks to the strange powers of the World Wide Web, we are all Sandra Fluke. So whatever you say to her, you say to us.

 
 

And he’s just one step ahead of getting teh arsenic death,,, unless,,, OMG that’s why @geotie2323 has gone silent! Obama got him with teh arsenic death to avoid getting SUED!

 
 

Who’s asshat btw?

he’s my mom’s whackjob husband…he’s an fox news afficiando, george washington historian, federalist papers scholar and all around knowitfuckingall…

I’d have to shake the mans hand for that! If I were ever to meet the man I can say with certainty that Nice to meet you following the handshake will be a genuine feeling of affection. Though it might not last 5 minutes afterwards.

And he’s just one step ahead of getting teh arsenic death,,, unless,,, OMG that’s why @geotie2323 has gone silent! Obama got him with teh arsenic death to avoid getting SUED!

If I were ever to meet the man I can say with certainty that

if you were to meet him, this is EXACTLY what he would say:

‘howdy…that’s cowboy talk for howdy!’

and then, if you asked him how he was, he would say:

‘better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!’

you do not know how i sometimes long for a sharp stick…

 
 

Ghost Breitbart will get to the bottom of this!

especially if teamed up with mighty george! why he can cure cancer with a single research! and he can expose the perfidy of the president with a click of his mouse! and no one dares to take on his twitterforce!

DKW, That dude is a ome man mango plantation.

I wonder if he’s ever had a really life-changing poop.

 
 

i trust you all inserted your own bwahahahahaha! to that last…

which reminds me…i was unaware of this until yestiddy…

 
 

I wonder if he’s ever had a really life-changing poop.

i dunno, but he’s certainly changed ours…i bleive he will now become the measurement by which all other douchebag tools will be measured by…as in, ‘well, he’s a dick alright, but he ain’t no george tierney!’

 
 

Also too, a little late, or possibly a little early on this, but I would like to announce teh WINRAR of 2012’s Best Use of teh Phrase “poopy pants”.

 
 

yeah, hubbkf has talked about doing just that…with the flat panel…maxine has been opened in the past few months by hubbkf and asshat…and yes, she is a laptop…g dang it, i miss her!

I’d go with the flat panel. You can also get on of those smaller ones, if you want to go for portability. I had to do that for a while when the monitor died on a previous laptop…Who’s asshat btw? Seems like a colorful character I should be aware of.

Certain Macbooks had serious issues with the video cards which are built into the motherboard (“logic board” in their terminology). If that’s the case with yours, an external display probably won’t help, unfortunately. The second link points to a 28-page support thread about it — there are ideas in there for DIY fixes to try.

That happened to me, exactly one month past the extended warranty– wait “extra special we’re super sorry we used crap video cards, and lost that class action suit” warranty…

I must play “Swords of Revealing Bullshit” on George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville South Carolina’s claim that he’s independent: he says that he voted for/supported Clinton and then Gore before something happened that apparently made him “Democrat No More!” yet his rants are directed toward Democrat-leaning people, and his praises are toward Republican-leaning people.

People have evidently become sufficiently curious about George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina to access the public records of his county courthouse, thereby finding out about the restraining order against him,* and his police record. Shortly after that his Twitter account fell into abeyance.

Ick. I’d do my research really carefully. I ‘d worry that any gun designed by such backward thinking reactionaries, would do physically, what their ideologies would do if enacted, which is to say, blow up in our faces.

hmmmph! fmk founder and gun designer extraordinaire jim pontillo has cracked it! i AM jealous AND envious of wingnuts who own guns!

and also? how patriotic is a dude who names his company ‘for my kountry’ really? country with a ‘k’? he apparently feels he can play fast and loose with the english language if you ask me…should be nipped in the bud…

 
 

how patriotic is a dude who names his company ‘for my kountry’ really? country with a ‘k’?

I’m sure he meant “For My KKKountry” but could only fit so many letters on there.

 
 

“That’s not true. I’m told that George Tierney Jr. of South Carolina is the best customer Rob’s House of Wetsuits and Dildos ever had.”

Oh yeah. I bet the boys down at Rob’s tease him something awful though for being an Independent. On hot afternoons, all the local GOP luminaries can be found standing around a cracker barrel full of dildos, shooting the shit, gently ribbing ol’ George Tierney Jr. of South Carolina.

that’s a speculation i can get behind!

 
 

The Hustler magazine thing is gross, but why was what Limbaugh did automatically defended or minimized by the same assholes who expect folks on the left to automatically condemn this, including Cupp herself? Why is a goddamn porn mag which speaks for no one supposedly equivalent to their main fucking mouthpiece? Fuck Larry Flynt, and fuck her, too, the hypocritical waste of space.

 
 

The Hustler magazine thing is gross
S. E. Cupp is disgusted that other people could behave as badly as her mate Limbaugh, but she doesn’t expect that NOW will have anything to say about it because NOW only involve themselves if it’s Limbaugh attacking women, and even if they do get involved it won’t be sincere.

 
 

What tigris said.

Also, somehow, sporadic instances of sexism are equal to institutional sexism. With these fucknuts. They honestly don’t understand the difference. It’s so fucking frustrating.

 
 

gently ribbing ol’ George Tierney Jr. of South Carolina.

Are those ribs, or pleasure bumps? Check the kerning sez I.

 
 

That being said, I’d like to shove some cocks in the mouths of people at “Hustler.”

Seriously, fuck you, Hustler.

 
 

That’s harsh on the roosters.

 
 

I notice Cupp et al only mention that NOW didn’t immediately respond, did any of them acknowledge that Sandra Fluke did?

 
 

Ick. I’d do my research really carefully. I ‘d worry that any gun designed by such backward thinking reactionaries, would do physically, what their ideologies would do if enacted, which is to say, blow up in our faces.

But how hilarious would it be if all of his guns, guns, guns ended up in the hands of liberals who subsequently deleted their spoof e-mail accounts, so the “Caller” couldn’t spam them?

Prizactly. I don’t need another gun. Well, I don’t have a 9mm, but I don’t want a cheesy one with the Bill of Rights inscribed on it. That’s just tacky. I would be happy to keep one more gun out of some tool’s arsenal though.

Like I said, it’s intriguing, but as of now I can’t be arsed.

 
 

I notice Cupp et al only mention that NOW didn’t immediately respond, did any of them acknowledge that Sandra Fluke did?

NOW’s got bigger fish to fry than to peruse “The Blaze” seeking evidence of outrages against Sippy Cupp, such as cleaning up all the shit that the people “The Blaze” champions are throwing at women of all stripes.

For many American citizens who embrace a political philosophy which swings left, collectivism, socialism, and ultimately communism is the idealist utopia they aspire to capture and promulgate across America. For these people, For My Kountry, means to ridicule excellence, to fear prosperity, and to blame others for individual failures.

It is an ideology which springs from mankind’s weakest tenets…jealousy and envy. It is an ideology which attempts to tear all down to one low and “equal” or “fair” level. It is an ideology incapable of raising anyone or anything upward. Most of all, it is an ideology without any understanding of American culture or our American Founders’ dream of creating a country free from government tyranny, open to individual initiative, and most important, insuring to all citizens those inalienable rights guaranteed to mankind by God.

From Profitillio or wev his fucking name is. Just ahistorical Boilerplate Claptrap (heretofor to be known as “WingerPlate™”) This is one of those two paragraph bits that could be turned into a thirty page thesis illustrating the hundreds of things that are wrong with this screed.

Also, too, when they say engraved with the bill of rights, where the fuck are they going to find room, or are they gonna send one of those magnifying glasses that came with the compact edition of the OED?

Wasn’t Larry Flynt briefly editor of Ms. magazine?

Oh, my bad, that was Jizz Magazine.

The real question is, when will Barack Hussein Obama apologize to S.E. Cupp?

 
 

Wait Sippy KKKup is consern trolling NOW about something now?

Indeed. She is complaining about the absence of support from them that she doesn’t want or expect anyway.

 
 

The real question is, when will Barack Hussein Obama apologize to S.E. Cupp?

his lack of apology only proves that he is the real sexist…

 
 

I wonder what the reaction will be when NOW inevitably and properly criticizes the picture. I sure hipe Cupp thanks Sandra Fluke for her support:

“The outrage of Sandra Fluke will not be matched on my side,” Cupp told The Blaze. “It seems that feminism has devolved into an institution that has picked losers and winners and has decided that some women qualify for respect and other women do not.”

Of course, Cupp showed a lot less class than Fluke when she had a chance to decry Rush.

 
 

Oh, my bad, that was Jizz Magazine.

rofl

 
 

A prevalent response of poutrage among Blaze commenters is that leftwing women are hags who always have dicks in their mouths. Funny how those comments weren’t condemned by others on Blaze. Kinda proves that it isn’t so much what Flynt did as much as who he did it to. Which kinda proves that wingnuts can dish it but they can’t take it.

 
 

“The outrage of Sandra Fluke will not be matched on my side,”
I cannot parse this sentence. Does it refer to outrage experienced by Sandra Fluke? Outrage on her behalf? Sandra Fluke as an outrage?
It is just as well that S. E. Cupp does not write for a living.

 
 

She is complaining about the absence of support from them that she doesn’t want or expect anyway.

Ah yes, that one. I think she specializes in that particular form of sophisty.

Thanks for confimation.

 
 

Is it just me, or does Jennifer JennofArk seem really, really scared of a lawsuit from George Tierney?

It *had* occured to me that George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina read through the comments on the first TBogg post, and noticed that I had “outed” his place of employment (as could anyone with the google machine), and that was where the “Jennifer” bit came from. So I guess I should prepare for the legal onslaught, just in case, though as far as I know there’s nothing illegal about mentioning that apparently someone works at business x or y, and might be a deacon at a particular church. To the best of my knowledge, neither of those are libelous statements, and given that I made no suggestion that anyone call or otherwise harass George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina, his parents, or either of his presumed employers, I’m pretty sure there’s nothing actionable there.

I’m basically in accord with those who detect some mental imbalance on the part of George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina. That twitter feed yesterday was wackadoodle. It’s like he’s got writer’s Tourettes or something – pretty much an uninterrupted stream of tics and profanity, none of it translatable into any coherent view of the world.
-JennofArk

 
 

“It’s uncomfortable. I’m not in this business to talk about myself, I’m not in this business to talk about my character,” she said. “I‘d much rather be talking about Obama’s economic record or his foreign policy than myself and having to defend myself against [this photo].”

I am sure it is Sippy, fortunately you will get to mine this episode, for a number of Croix de Coeur with d’Ark clusters, and use it as a cudgel to bash Liberals (who had absolutely nothing to do with the shot in question) about the head and shoulders because they didn’t respond in a way that would demonstrate proper outrage, which of course had they dones so, would be reason to condemn them for something else (of course)

Sweet!

No, I think JennofArk really really explained it quite well that any suit by George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina would be really really baseless and meritless. Nice try.

 
 

The Hustler magazine thing is gross

I never liked Hustler even back in the day.

I would look at the pictures and think “Do we really need to get that close up? I’m not studying to be a doctor. I’m pretty sure I can see her pancreas.”

This statement would be correct if you appended “fermented” just ahead of every instance of mango or mangoes in each of the two sentences. And yes a copy of the thing is opened on my desktop for when I have the stomach to peruse the brilliance.

“The outrage of Sandra Fluke will not be matched on my side,”

Maybe it’s about liver flukes. I didn’t know that they had names by Sickup knows lottsa stuff I don’t. Also the liver is not really on one’s side, is it. I am of course talking of human anatomy.

But astonishingly stupid, tasteless and run of the mill misogyny, Hustler. This is why you can’t get a date.

 
 

27 pages of absolute dreck. Sodomy laws, evict the UN from the US, revamp the Labor Dept and sic it exclusively against unions as criminal enterprises, complete privatization of Social Security, flat taxes only and cut cut cut everything but the military. I’m gonna vomit now.

Most Republican critics of Obama have given up pushing discredited, long-running allegations that he was not born in the United States, as required by the U.S. Constitution to become president.

Emphasis, as they say, mine.

This, apparently, is from the Associated Press (via msnbc).

Is it any wonder nobody in this country knows what the hell they’re talking about anymore??

Somebody really oughta get called out for this shit.

I want one! Mind you I couldn’t even afford the fuel and upkeep, let alone the purchase price.

 
 

Dear Ms. Cupp.
I assure you that as a liberal, I share your outrage as to Hustler’s use of your likeness. Just as I did for Rush Limbaugh, I will choose to not do business with Larry Flint’s advertisers. Therefore, I will look elseware for companies to address my male enhancement, sex doll, and midget porn needs

 
 

Now think about porn 50 years in the future. Man that’s some nasty stuff!

What’s considered “porn” today will essentially be a “news story” by then.

 
 

Time for racist fuckheads to STFU

Further, this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, finds that support for gay marriage has reached a new high among African-Americans in ABC/Post polls, up from four in 10 in recent surveys to 59 percent now.

Obama’s statements had great symbolic significance. Of the black people I know who actually voted against me on Amendment 2 in 2008, and actually were willing to talk about it, more than one told me they thought same sex marriage was already the law of the land and they told me their pastors had told them to vote for the measure to stand up for Christianity and they seemed to believe the vote was symbolic.

As for encountering open bias–wow, it’s been years. Though I went through a few years where people wanted to call my wife my “friend”. This is often a term for an unmarried lover among heterosexuals here. It was not that long ago that you could lose your job in these parts for cohabiting. No joke.

 
 

So much for the plan of seeding an Obama-run SLORC Air Piracy conspiracy amongst teh wingtards. It woulda been awesome, because Obama is really from Siam and that’s teh same as Burma or Tibet or whatever it is they’re calling Ceylon these days.

 
 

Arakasi FTW.

 
 

As with support for gay marriage, knowing someone who’s gay is notably high among young adults and people with college degrees, 80 percent in each group. It’s higher among women than men, 76 vs. 66 percent. Broad majorities of Democrats, Republicans and independents (65, 71 and 76 percent, respectively) also report having a friend, family member or acquaintance who is gay. It’s 56 percent each, by contrast, among blacks and seniors.

Some people need to stop fronting. Honey, that nice girl who wears a basketball jersey everywhere and has her hair in neat cornrows is gay. That corny church music director still wearing his polyester print shirts from the 70’s and who affects a hat to cover the hair thinning on top is gay. That dickwad boyfriend who uses comb in color to cover the grey who said he was working late but nobody up at the job had seen him is not on the “down low,” he’s seeing another woman.

This has been a Public Service Announcement from the Community Foundation For Telling It Like It Is.

 
 

I’m a little surprised (maybe pleased?) at all the people defending Sippy Cupp here, but, you know, somebody put the character “Sarah Palin” in an actual porno four years ago and I didn’t see this amount of denouncing going on. Tactics or is it the shoop itself?

Sippy Cupp uses that same “sexy schoolmarm” look to get attention while claiming that everyone loves her for her “ideas”. Except that unlike Palin, who is extremely sincere about her fire and brimstone old tyme religion (Palin sincerely believes she should get her way and other exist to serve her whims), Cupp is such a fake you can see the peeling paint from the other side of the teevee screen.

How can she be “shocked” when someone “punks” her carefully crafted smexxxxy™ image? She does this shit on purpose because she wants money, money, money and she thinks she can get it out of “teh rubes” who she believes to be afflicted with the old ultra-stupid. She’s a panderer who has more contempt for her marks than Ritt Momney on his worst day. And what’s worse, she’s a bad liar to boot.

 
 

I remember thinking when GW Bush dug in on stem cell research and pandered to the extreme right even tho he didn’t have to, that he couldn’t really believe in holding back science like that when millions of people could be helped. I thought it was a great opportunity for him to actually lead the cave dwellers out into the light and he would’ve elevated himself in the process. He predictably lived down to expectations. What’s great about Obama and marriage equality is that he’s actually leading his base in the black community to join the progressive coalition on this subject. It was absolutely essential that he be the one to do that, and it’s working.

 
 

GWB displayed the best leadership we’ve seen from him when he moved to tamp down the xenophobic violence following 9/11, but even then it wasn’t all that great, I mean, he only put a lid on it until he left office, at which point it all boiled over again (and he loyally kept his yabber shut during the Summer of Ground Zero Mosque to get the GOP back in power).

On stem cells his tr00belieberism came out. God ordained and all that jazz. He doesn’t feel the opportunity cost of not engaging in the research because God Will Provide. (I mean, he’s always come through for Dubya before. It’s science!)

 
 

Btw, as a fellow atheist, SE Cupp is one of those insufferable atheists who thinks that being an atheist makes her soooooo smart and proves her geniustude. (Oh, and did you know she had an Ivy League education? I mean, that weapons of mass destruction level smarts there! Represent!)

Personally, I’ve come to believe that atheism and theism, with the exception of the exceptionally religiously brainwashed, has to do with each individual’s cognition. Atheists just don’t perceive the world the way theists do… Of course, some theists believe their perception, while cool, isn’t proof of anything, while some theists take their perception to be factual. Meanwhile, some atheists pretend to religious feelings they lack because they think everyone is faking and they want to fit in (or get ahead).

As proof of this notion I do submit the extreme prevalence of strong atheism among Aspies, who are also quite famous for their under-developed theory of mind. Without a good theory of mind it’s impossible to “talk to God” because even if “God” started talking, none of it would make any sense, it would just be disjointed impressions, which is kind of what Aspies experience when they talk face-to-face with mundanes.

You can’t just buy an Ivy League education! Oh, what’s that? You say you can? Never mind, then.

 
 

re: Hustler and Cupp

Really? It’s Hustler magazine. It is supposed to be pr0nography because it is pr0nography.

You know how you come up with “pr0n versions” of other movies? Like “Men in Black Women III” or “Butthole Ship” or “300”. No one thinks that they’re offending teh people associated with teh inspirational sources for those parodies. Well except maybe 300.

This is a site that posts images of Don Surber romantically attached to a pick-up truck. Granted, that image is not a photoshop, but wev.

I mean, totes agree that there is this societal problem – deep and pernicious structural issues – with teh treatment of women. Teh blatant sexualization, teh casting off all context other than their potential to appease male sexual appetite, teh fundamental de-humanization. I agree that all women, including SE Cupp and Sarah Palin and whomever you choose, should NOT have to deal with that crap. It is pretty fucking bad, and if you want to speak out against that type of thing – I am fully in support. But let’s keep it in context here. It’s a shop of SE Cupp engaged in fellatio*. I mean if you wanted examples of how Hustler is an inherently misogynistic enterprise – IT’S FUCKING HUSTLER MAGAZINE!

* Note I have not seen teh image. Perhaps it’s astoundingly horrendous for some other reason that I have no knowledge of.

 
 

Fluke is correct to criticize Hustler, but whether such a magazine should stop demeaning and objectifying women is a very different conversation than (for ex.) the Fluke/Limbaugh one. Hustler, if I recall — I was never a fan of it — ran a cartoon called “Chester the Molester” for many years, written by an actual sex offender. That’s just par for the course. Flynt is only of interest when he steps outside his empire — even though he targets public figures within its bounds, which I understand he does regularly.

 
 

It is indeed shocking that a fine upstanding man like Larry Flynt would portray a young woman with a PENIS in her mouth … something he has never ever done before.

Also, surely a Google Image search of, oh, say “Michelle Obama Photoshops” would show results showcasing only the most tasteful & light-hearted of jocular visual humour from our good friends in Wingnuttia.

 
 

Flynt is kind of a Troll Genius, or Troll God. He figured out how to troll people, in print, and actually get rich doing it, years before Gary Ruppert & co. started collecting a penny per word from the Kochs to troll liberal blogs.

This issue is stupid. No, S.E. Cupp’s likeness should not have been photoshopped into that situation. It may be legal to do so, but it sure as hell isn’t ethical. This is just an example of how far the right wing in this country has to stoop in order to say ‘both sides do it’ It really isn’t a fair comparison to say that hateful misogynist things broadcast on public airwaves by the leading talk radio personality over the course of days, to an audience of millions of right wing American mouth breathers, thereby impugning a private citizen’s character is equivalent to hateful misogynist renderings published in a private magazine by one of the leading pornographers to an audience of tens of thousands of American mouth breathers, thereby impugning a public media personality’s character.

Sure jim, but Michelle is a radical, polarizing, shrill, divisive agent of Soros aiming to bring this country to its knees and SEC is a wholesome public intellectual who is being oppressed by NOW. Surely you can see the difference?

 
 

I think we can all agree that Larry Flynt is not an upstanding person.

Oh, well played, well played indeed.

It’s not. It’s a clothed headshot, I assume with mouth open mid-pander, with a cock photoshopped onto the lower right hand corner to land glans-first in her Koch-gobbling yob.

Not that I would really classify her as a cock-sucker or coke-sucker or whatever as she fails to show the requisite enthusiasm for corporate fellatio, preferring, instead, to toss the salads of the legendary primordial Xstain paleo-conservatives she considers her “base”.

In all actuality it is less disturbing/arousing than those Iowa State Fair corndog shots of One-El Michele, Pick Rarey, and Mr. Bachmann.

 
 

Ms. Cupp wishes to be the next Ann Landers Ann Coulter, but she just can’t muster up enough vile. Better luck next time, I suppose.

 
 

Another one bites the dust.

SPOILER ALERT: Dude sometimes comes across like a bit of a dick.

 
 

Fumento: “Ever-consummate gentlemen like Buckley…”

Who what now? Tralala every day a brand new world!

 
 

Again: “Limbaugh infamously dispatched a young woman who expressed her opinion that the government should provide free birth control as a “slut” and a “prostitute.””

Seriously? She expressed her opinion that the insurance SHE PAID FOR should be required to cover one of the most prescribed preventative health drugs in the country.

 
 

If he was a right-winger, he had to be a bit of a dick to last five seconds in there. Either that, or he was consumed by pee-your-pants fear every second of every day.

Also, NEW TREADS!

 
 

re jim, but Michelle is a radical, polarizing, shrill, divisive agent of Soros

also, she has a big butt…

 
 

Wow, he was in love with Reagan. Like, seriously, actually in love with Reagan.

Reagan was a rat who denounced other actors as commies, but this guy fantasizes that Reagan would have censured Breitbart:

Ever-consummate gentlemen like Buckley and Ronald Reagan would have been mortified by such behavior as Breitbart’s – or West’s or Heartland’s. “There you go again,” the Gipper would have said in his soft but powerful voice.

These are some juicy mangoes!

 
 

[…] wanted to put in my two cents on the whole Sippy thing, since some people seem to be saying some facepalmy things about […]

 
 

Let us have no more talk of violating the Hippocratic Oath, which says very explicitly, “I will not give a woman a peccary to induce an abortion”.

How can she be “shocked” when someone “punks” her carefully crafted smexxxxy™ image?

Can I just say that “smexxxxy™” is the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time?
