Frist.

If only there were some convenient internet abbreviation for inviting Ms Charen to end her existence in an incendiary event.

Post-election season is a time for healing, for putting aside the rancor of a long campaign and rediscovering what unites us.

Yes. Like making up and widely disseminating stories about how the outgoing staff stole all the “W” keys off of every keyboard in the White House just to be dickish.

Oh, wait.

It’s like an emo teenager venting on Livejournal about how nobody loves him and he might as well kill himself. It’s not anything serious.

I understand it’s only a comedic trope, Cerb. But sometimes it IS serious. Just a guess off the top of my head but there must be a thousand teen suicides in the US every year. (Maybe tens-of-thousands for all I know.)

I urge people not to treat teen suicide signals lightly. Actually I urge people to be sensitive for suicide signals in anyone.

—–

Again, thanx for the pointer, Cerb. That was how I got to be Frist. Super post. You seem to be on a roll of late.

What would also be nice is a convenient and familiar intertubes acronym to explain why it was fine in 2004 when Peggy Noonan wrote her column about “So much to savor” in an election victory for G.W. Bush.

Would that be the year that Bush said, “Elections have consequences.”?

States rights now means Strawberry Kush/ Mr. Swiss hybrids. At least in some laboratories of democracy.

Actually, the continuing vote tallying now has the Smiler at 47%.

Back in 2000 I was told that 5 electoral votes constituted a mandate.

What we really need is an Internet acronym for “go away” so that we can indicate the consequences of not revealing one’s breasts.

Die in a fire.

I support equal rights and marriage equality, but apparently not as much as the repubs, who never stop talking about their man dates.

It’s always impressive when someone so hateful finds a way to seem even more so.

My guess is the photoshop shows Moana operating her spellchecker.

Warning – rat-bastard pedant mode engaged:

“..I last poured over a Shakepeare play..”

Poured what, O Cerberus the Great and Powerful? Syrup? Motor Oil? Fuming Hydrochloric Acid? Tell us, oh tell us – Inquiring Minds Want To Know!

also, too, w/ reference to smut clyde @2, I prefer ESAD to DIAF, simply because I feel that fire is too good for the likes of her. Has anyone else come to the conclusion that it is impossible to rank the Conservaloon Punditocracy because they’re all so far off the upper end of the Rank scale that making any sort of relatively subtle distinction as #1, #2, #3, etc., is like trying to distinguish between different flavors of Pi based on the value at [infinity] – 1?

“Honest liberals should further consider that flinging the charge protects them from having to defend their ideas. It’s simultaneously ugly and lazy.” — Moana</blockquote

Crap, I was wrong about the photoshop. Clearly Moana is operating a vintage Projection machine of some sort. I image some strike-throughs could fixxor this…but I’m dull and stupid before I’ve been properly caffeinated.

Fooey. Shoulda prooft bedder: for “/blockquote” read instead “Blockhead”.

Mostly glue, entirely so I can set up a bevy of bad puns based on “not being able to put it down” in order to punish people I feel have wronged me in some way.

This statement is fractally fucked up. Whenever I try and focus on one unforgivable failure, nine others are waving their hands in my face demanding equal time. –Cerb

Applause for this, especially the b/f phrase. Imma gonna steal it!

Some disappointed Republicans are talking secession in Texas and elsewhere. This is proof of racism?

Um, yes.

I will be exactly as gracious as George Bush supporters were.

I heard Mitch McConnell on the radio this morning having a sad over the fact that,rather than sitting down and “negotiating” (i.e. capitulating) with him (he’s not even the majority leader FFS), Obama is out “campaigning” to sell the Democrats’ plan (which is itself a compromise). Holy ghost of Teddy Roosevelt: has ol’ Mitch never even heard of the bully pulpit? If only Obama would have been so proactive about selling health care reform …or had an actual liberal plan to sell to deal with the “fiscal cliff” … or health care reform for that matter.

I will be exactly as gracious as George Bush supporters were.

Simply by voting for Obama, you are already being more generous than George Bush supporters were. After all, you want to give them health care and not take social security and medicare away.

True enough. I am nothing if not kind. TO MOOCHERS.

Party at Noisewater’s house!

OT, but what’s with this Zero Hedge blog:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-11-27/when-work-punished-tragedy-americas-welfare-state

Is it some sort of libertarian thing because I see a lot of leftists link to it once and a while.

Obama is out “campaigning” to sell the Democrats’ plan (which is itself a compromise).

Remember after GWB’s re-election when he just sat around the Oval Office wishing really hard that people would want to put their Social Security on the Stock Market?

Party at Noisewater’s house!

No Irish.

No Irish.

Black Russians are an acceptable substitution if you’re out of Irish coffee.

Ooh, I like the way you think, polar bear.

Moana knows how to turn things around for goppers.

Mona Charon said things would get better if there were an organized effort to get conservative comics to tell eveyone how cool they were. Seriously.

Zero Hedge blog

Cousin to the money badger

The White Man is the Jew of Liberal Fascism, part 1 bazillion.

Not a single woman will lead any of the major House committees in the 113th Congress.

After a day of meetings closed to the public, the House Republican Steering Committee announced an all-male slate of committee chairs, including 12 returning lawmakers who will head up some of the most important panels in Washington.

P.S. Of course they’re all white guys. Why do you axe?
~

@Andrew: Yeah, Zero Hedge is a libertarian site. The trick is that like many sites of its ilk these days, there’s straight news and analysis mixed in with the wingnuttery. I linked to it a time or two before I found out just what kind of place it was.

Leave Britney conservatives alone!

 But speaking of the little guy, this election has clarified to a remarkable degree which party is actually the party of ordinary Americans. George Soros, Michael Moore, moveon.org, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Affleck and a few other plutocrats spent a reported $200 million attempting to defeat George W. Bush. They had the energetic assistance of The New York Times, ABC, NBC, NPR, CNN and particularly CBS. They retain (for how much longer is open to question) the power to shape the national debate. But the Bush campaign (guided by the insight of Karl Rove) focused on church-attending, conservative, hard-working middle class Americans whose only form of protest against the power of the mainstream press is to tune in to talk radio and the Internet. Well, they do have one other form of power, and they exercised it at the voting booths last Tuesday.

How magnanimous.

Yeah, those Koch brothers are humble, Main St. folks.

Yeah, those Koch brothers are humble, Main St. folks.

How many main streets must one own before this is true? One of them already owns a replica old west town out west someplace, and I’m sure that Koch industries are the financial engine of a community or two, some of which may even be in the U.S.

Yeah, those Koch brothers are humble, Main St. folks.

Plus the Scaifes, Coors, Olins, Bradleys plus a rogue’s gallery of casino and pizza chain owners.

Also, ESADIAF is most apt.

Secession talk is the overheated emotional venting of the disappointed.

Sooooo… enraged teabaggers talk about secession and it’s “overheated emotional venting”, elated liberals point at enraged teabaggers and laugh, and it’s worse than Stalin and Mao together. Got it, Mona, you’re not a moral relativist.

BOOBIES!

Is it some sort of libertarian thing because I see a lot of leftists link to it once and a while.

It’s the economist’s version of a Rick roll.

Jesus Fucking Horseshit, if I have to hear “it was the DEMOCRATS who were against civil rights in the 60’s” again, I’m going to go on an axe-murdering rampage, because, uh…yeah, and those particular Democrats who voted against civil rights are WHERE now? Because the ones still living have had an (R) plastered behind their names for the past 40+ years now…and there aren’t that many still living.

Seriously, the answer to this shit should be, every time, “so what? How many members of today’s Democratic party were in office back then? How many were of voting age? How many were even BORN yet? Oh, ok, so you’re talking about DEAD PEOPLE and bad stuff they did? So what is your point, here? Oh, you don’t have one, I see. Except “hey kids, pay no attention to those emails we sent around featuring Obama in a watermelon patch – look over there! RACIST 60’s DEMOCRATS who have been dead – or Republican – for 25 years or more! THAT’s the REAL outrage!”

Or for a shorter: “When are you going to stop pointing at the actions of people who have been dead for decades to distract attention from the actions people in your party are committing TODAY?”

But, but, Robert Byrd was in the KKK, or something!

My friend here is quite disappointed with the dull results of a google image search for jesus fucking horseshit.

Speaking of band names….

Since I missed that thread, let me also suggest:

Foreskin Holocaust and
Balloon Animal of Righteous Indignation

I’m personally surprised that a woman of such clearly advanced age has somehow failed to progress beyond the emotional capacity and ability for self-reflection (in this case, lack thereof) of a six-year-old.

Conservative values sure make you an…interesting…person.

Foreskin Holocaust and
Balloon Animal of Righteous Indignation

Oooh, nice. Also, too:

The Photoshopped Sammiches

Very disappointed … it’s a post called “Sore Winners” … & all I get is ONE clown-haired film-maker politely griping about the GOP being racist? That’s not just false advertising – it’s a severe schadenfreude-boner killer.

Needs more cruel & relentless gloating.
MUCH more.

The Shithouse Trolls

…their breakout hit, of course, is Scuse Mah Fingahs.

INVISIBLE BOOBIES.

Also too:

Ain’t Gonna Suck Itself and
The Grampa Munsters

See if you can spot the delicious coincidental juxtaposition of two words:

JONAH co-director Arthur Goldberg promised Bruck, then 17, that “JONAH could help him change his orientation from gay to straight,” according to a consumer fraud lawsuit filed Tuesday against JONAH, Goldberg and a JONAH counselor.

For Pup’s freind, there…

Friend, even…

I’m personally surprised that a woman of such clearly advanced age has somehow failed to progress beyond the emotional capacity and ability for self-reflection (in this case, lack thereof) of a six-year-old.

Are you referring to Mona, or the lady possessing an unenviable relationship with the Vacuum Cleaner Man?

I’m a Proud Conservative Liberal, so
Brown Boobies!

Worse, liberals have gorged themselves on the same junk food they enjoyed during the campaign and cannot seem to resist under any circumstances

“I never gave them hell. I just told the truth and they think it’s hell.”

Liberals spent the run-up to the election pointing out things like Romney’s parasitical career at Bain Capital, and wingnuts thought these inconvenient facts were somehow the equivalent of their claims that Obama was born in Kenya or was secretly a Muslim.

It’s like an emo teenager venting on Livejournal about how nobody loves him and he might as well kill himself. It’s not anything serious.

It really is. Somone on BJ pointed out that the common point for most of the conservatives he knew was simply a failure to mature, I’d say that’s true.

I can’t recall the last time a mainstream American politician referred to “state’s rights,” but I’m pretty sure that whoever it was, he was a Democrat. It was the code term southern Democrats used to defend Jim Crow laws.

AHAHAHAHA –

So, just so we’re clear. When my wingnut uncle posted, a couple days ago, that “our republic was designed to function best with strong sovereign states and limited federal powers” – he was actually using a code term to defend white supremacist laws and institutions?

Good to know.

Three quarters of the nay votes on the 1964 Civil Rights Act came from Democrats

The other quarter came from the conservative minority of the Republican Party, with Goldwater at its head. You know, the same group that went on to take over the party and kick out the Rockefeller type pro-New Deal moderates and liberals who voted for the CRA and VRA.

Teh Ho informs me that the leave Britney alone kid has appeared in an all-male pornography flick. Teh Ho further informs me that, given what he saw of his, er, freshman effort, he is unlikely to appear in a sequel.

Speaking of band names

OMG. After teh last thread Mrs bughunter is quite tired of me spouting off band names that pop into my head… even the ones that aren’t deviant sexual references.

Someone suggested a poetry jam, which is nice but i can only write poetry when I’m either heartbroken or morbidly depressed. How about we attempt something less traveled… like maybe nightclub names…

Or breakfast cereals!

How about:

Nut’n’Yousouldevouringharpy
Honey Bunches of Thistles
Gays & Bran
FiberEleventyOne!!1!!
You’d Rather Have Waffles But This Is Easier

I’m actually working on restaurant/bar names but we’ve got it under control and I’m not asking for suggestions.

Honey Bunches of Thistles

I believe we’ve got a smooth pated sadly who’d be interested.

Oops! Missed your response, Cerberus – sorry! You sound like my old Dad – one time when I was complaining about how hard it was to get started on the early novels like Tristram Shandy and Tom Jones, he told me that I could manage to get through any literature, no matter how dense and tedious it seemed, if only I’d stick to it.
Thank you! Thank you! I’m here till Thursday! Try the veal!

Honey Bunches of Thistles

It’s a Pooh and Eeyore mashup.

Or breakfast cereals!

Fruit and Femurs (ZRM’s favorite)

I’m with Jennifer.

The Democrats ejected those racist Dixiecrat fucks in 1968. They all (Strom Thurmond, Trent Lott, et al.) became Republicans. If I had gotten to DC in time, I would have shot Byrd in his fucking assface head myself.

So yeah, nice try, conservadix, but NO. What Democrats were before the South changed from a blue bucket of shit to red bucket of shit is irrelevant.

I’m actually working on restaurant/bar names but we’ve got it under control and I’m not asking for suggestions.

You think that’s gonna stop this lot?

Jonah Loadpants is infuriated that people don’t know who the REAL racists are.

I find the effort to claim that criticism of Susan Rice is racist or sexist to be offensive, ridiculous and damn near lunatic. According to this theory, Republican racists waited in the tall grass until Rice had a shot to be the fifth non-white-male Secretary of State in a row and then decided to pounce. That even the Washington Post editorial board has succumbed to this idiocy, and in such a cowardly way, is almost as sad as it is infuriating.

“Waited in the tall grass”? I can’t imagine what he means by that. Izzat some kind of code?

Honey Bunches of Thistles

It’s Pooh and Eeyore mashup slash fiction.

F’d for the furries.

It’s Pooh and Eeyore mashup slash fiction.

Pooh gets stuck and Eeyore is sad about it?

Great. I finally come across a current item in which to note:

“try and tell them that your policies cause double secret bonus cancer!”

No more filter? The IP changed? Not like I tried and.

‘Bye for now, clever college kids. And don’t forget to think: infinitive.

I’m just guessing, but I’ll bet that’s a win for us.

For Pup’s freind, there…

Thanks. I was expecting a certain Holbytlan to provide a more apt image. Was I hoping for it? I’ll ruminate on that.

If anyone cares about this woman they will not allow her to watch the inauguration. The sight of Obama arrogantly taking the oath while hordes of liberals gloat. …you’re talking a major coronary event.

Enough with the band names. It shuts cleverness-challenged people like me out of the thread.

I think a fuckload of band names are a word or three from a favorite song.

Yeah, then the people who “get it” can feel extra cool.

I’m-a gonna find band names in Beefheart Lyrics until I lose steam:

Dove-Winged Hat
Hot Red Bulbs
Diamonds ‘n’ Lice
Bimbo Limbo Spam
Fast ‘n’ Bulbous
Mrs. Wooten & Little Nitty
Lifebuoy
Carbon Cum
Brody Knob Amber

Hominy Snatch
Mercury in the Wind
Fedlock’s Waddlin’ Feast

The Wooden Tits on the Goddess
High Hat Beaver Mustache Man
Banana Bin
Bubblin’ Fish
Hobo Chang Ba
The Drazy Hoops (Whir)
The Nothing Wheels
Special Jellies

…Whew. That’s just one album. I included very few song titles.

I should point out that those names are perfectly good for bars and restaurants. Some of them particularly so.

Holy fuck, Pat Robertson is craftier than I thought: … Admits Dinosaurs, Earth Older than 6,000 Years

He’s realized, like others, that there’s no reason Christians have to take that position … The problem then becomes, can they be textual fundamentalists part of the time? Not credibly, no. You’d have to revert to the old-school exegesis. Read some of the Bible as literal, some as figurative, and have a non-arbitrary reason to go either way, verse by verse.

This is proof of racism?

That bit there is just terrific. She must make her confederates proud.

That sounds like an awful lot of guys onstage. Enough to pull off the manly, tight arrangements of composer (etc. etc.) Frank Parlato Jr.

What I still don’t get, and never will, is how Fundies can’t or won’t recognize that there is spirituality in science. There are awe-inspiring wonders of natural science, mathematics, cosmology and high energy physics, cellular and molecular biology, electronics and engineering… everything that requires advanced education to understand reveals that there’s even more we don’t yet understand… but what we do know about the universe has revealed countless examples of elegance, symmetry and structure that spans orders upon orders of magnitude… things that can excite the same circuits in the brain that are stimulated by prayer and faith. AND you don’t have to invent some anthropomorphic Big Brother or believe in fairy tales told by a musty old tome written in another language so long ago you have no means of examining the motives of the authors. Nor do you have to believe some choir boy buggering curmudgeon’s version of the truth.

The ONLY thing you don’t get is convenient answers to questions. You have to admit “I don’t know” sometimes… but the other side of that coin is that you can be confident that there is an answer, one true answer*, you just have to go out and find it.

(*OK, sometimes two. Thomas Young had to go and ruin everything.)

Well-put, Bughunter.

Aw, fuck. A thread late and two dollars short (Powerball!).

Pooh gets stuck and Eeyore is sad about it?

Umm, it’s not how it looks. Pooh was stuck and I was trying to push him through.

‘sup?

The fact is, I will listen to God and GOP before faggot scientists about how to run the world and live my life, unlike DemonCraps who want everyone to worship the Usurper and pay more taxes.

the fact is, ian fucking mcshane is going to be on ahs next week…color me thrilled!

and yes, gary, listen to an imaginary being and a group of rich old white men who don’t give a fuck about you but for your vote…sounds like a great plan…let us know how that works out for you…

Faggot Scientists FTW.

Thanks. I was expecting a certain Holbytlan to provide a more apt image.

IIRC Holby only blogs at Crooked Timber.

“I mean, for fuck’s sake, Reagan’s infamous State’s Right speech at the site of the murdered Civil Rights workers during the 1980 campaign has pretty much become the equivalent of the Sermon on the Mount speech for conservatives.”

Mitt Romney gave a speech in Sanford, Florida, where Trayvon Martin was lynched, on the eve of the election.

I think Paul Ryan was there too, but I think he didn’t give a speech… he was just looking for little kids… TO SNACK ON!

“OT, but what’s with this Zero Hedge blog:”

Yeah, it’s some flavor of libertarian. It means they might occasionally make antiwar or anti-bailout noises, but they are still the bad guys.

good call…

“Super Cool Rock Like Things”

If you’re a geologist, though, don’t get caught saying this. Also not a good dissertation title

yes, perhaps i shouldn’t have spent most of my time giggling over vaguely naughty sounding terms…after all, i did not do well on the exam where i copied ‘they might be giant’ lyrics as an answer to an essay question…one would think a professor who teaches a class referred to as ‘rocks for jocks’ would have a sense of humor…

Rumpus Junket

i am going to work that phrase into as many conversations as humanly possible…

Liberals are the most disgusting people to know in person, with a few exceptions. Oh, they can be nice, compassionate, friendly, but when the chips are down, the nastiness, envy, race-baiting, pettiness, and ignorance come out. They will gossip about you behind your back, put you down to your face, and go blithely about as if that is their perogative. And I come from a family of liberals, I should know.

Spitoon

Back to band names again.

Band name specially reserved for bbfk:

Saxby Chambliss is odious creature who defeated Max Cleland in 2002 by morphing Cleland’s face into bin Laden. Decorated war hero missing three limbs and confined to a wheel chair. Tells you all you need to know about Saxby Chambliss.

THE RANTOUL ILLINOS PRESS IS REPORTING THE EXPLOTSIVE RESULTS OF A JOINT INVESTIGATIEN FROM ITS POLITICLE AND ENTERTRAINMANT REPORTERS ABOUT TEH FUCHING FERRETS PLAN TO CAPTOUR BOTH JOHN MCCANE AND LINSEY GRAHAMCRACKER AND FINELLY DISPENSE THERE BUCKWHEATS OF FACE GANAWING AND SHISHKEBAB CONVERSION. LINSEY GRAHAMCRACKER IS CONSERNED ABOUT HIS CAREER IN THE SENET AND IS CONSIDERING A SECOND JOB AS THE NEW THINKING MANS PETER ALLEN. ONE OF HIS FIRST PROJECTS WAS TO RECORD A MUSIC VIDIO OF ALLENS TUNE I GO TO RIO. TEH FUCHING FERRETS HAVE POSED AS A BAND CALLED MITT AND THE MERGERS TO PROVIDE BACKUP FOR LINSEYS SINGING AND GENERALE PRANCING ABOUT IN TIGHT TROUSERS AND SHIRTS WITH PUFFY SLEEVES. THEY HAVE PROVIDED FAKE PUBLICITY PHOTOS SHOWING CLEAN CUT YOUNG GENTALMEN IN SHORT SLEAVED SHIRTS AND BLACK TIES WHICH WOULD PROVIDE A CONTRAST TO LINSEYS COLORFUL ANTICS. JOHN MCCANE OFFERED TO HELP LINSEY AS HIS MANAGER AND GENERALE PURPOSE SVENGALI. AS THE FUNDS FOR THE PROJECT HAD TO BE DEVERTED FROM THE SENET OFFICE SUPPLY FUND THERE WAS NO MONEY FOR STUDIO TIME IN NEW YORK OR LOS ANGLES. THIS PLAYED INTO THE FUCHING FERRETS HANDS AS THEY PROPOSED USING A NEWLY CREATED ENTERTRAINMANT COMPLEX IN RANTOUL ILLINOIS. IN RIALITY THIS WAS ONE OF THE CONVERTED CHEEP MOTELS TEH FUCHING FERRETS WERE USING FOR WHEREHOUSING THE CONSERVETIVE COMMENTERS ROUNDED UP IN THE MOUNTEN DEW COUPON SCAM OF 2008.

I have lost any respect I had for Romney, who is now agreeing to meet with the Marxist crapweasel.
Where is that roll of duct tape? I feel another head explosion about to commence.

I wonder if he’s going to offer him a cabinet position. He might blackmail him Chicago-style with a photoshopped image of him drinking a beer or cavorting with hookers. It’s the Don Corleone “keep your friends close…your enemies closer” Machiavellian policy of all scheming power pukes.

With Mitt Romney, the choice of stereotype was obvious: that of the rapacious cold-blooded businessman derived from Gordon Gekko, J.R. Ewing, and the little man on the Monopoly cards.

Yeah, I have no idea where that came from.

I contend that much of the problem with current right-of-center electoral efforts involves conservatism as currently practiced. This has nothing to do with conservative principles, or any public preference for moderation in politics. It has to do with how conservatism is expressed, and can be summed up as conservatism’s failure to sell itself.

I’ve been seeing that theme a fair bit. Highly amusing. WE NEED TO MARKET OUR SHIT SAMMICHES MORE EFFECTIVELY!

Governor Sarah Palin, a reform politician of high reputation, was selected as GOP vice-presidential candidate.

[snip]

Palin’s case marked the nadir of character assassination by the left and in a saner epoch will be looked back on as a milestone in the deterioration of American progressive politics.

Wow. Just… wow.

That’s not a bubble. It’s a bathysphere.

Romney has agreed to have lunch with the Marxist at the WH on Thursday

Do any of these people know the first thing about Karl Marx besides his name? Because I’ve never once read one say anything like “I really disagree with Marx on his concept of use values” or what have you, it’s just name-calling out of complete ignorance.

Great FSM, Scribe… you really did hit the mother lode of Conservatives In Denial and It’s Always Projection:

Most of Romney’s vote deficit involved middle-income voters in the $30,000 to $50,000 range, apparently fully convinced by the portrayal of Romney as a corporate looter. (The sad irony here is that it is precisely these voters who have suffered most — and will suffer further — under the Obama regime. There are few other cases where the American public has so clearly voted against its own interests.)

Nope. I can’t think of any other cases. None at all…

I’ve been seeing that theme a fair bit. Highly amusing. WE NEED TO MARKET OUR SHIT SAMMICHES MORE EFFECTIVELY!

OW noticed this as well.

OW noticed this as well.

That’s a default tactic for conservatives. It’s what makes that whole article so ironic, because starting with Reagan the right wing became adept at putting the marketing above the content – and perfected it with Gingrich and Rove. It’s a reflection of the state of America in general since the eighties… substance and content is not important, just the packaging.

The vast majority of products on American shelves these days are designed only as a vehicle for packaging that will entice you to take the item off the shelf and to the cash register. The item inside is usually poorly made, unrepairable, and scarcely addresses the role that it is supposed to fulfill. It will soon break and you will be forced to seek another one… which is also intended.

Similarly, I recall a Romney surrogate being interviewed on NPR Morning Edition a day or so after the “Foreign Policy Debate,” criticizing Obama’s response to Iran’s “nuclear weapons program.” The host asked this person, should Obama go to war with Iran? The response was, it doesn’t matter; he should have sent a message to make them fear we will. Several times, the reporter pressed the question, asking whether we should go to war with Iran, and the response was reiterated more firmly each time: the only important thing is sending the message that we will.

In other words, the packaging is all that counts. It could be a turd inside, as long as the label makes the consumer ring it up at the door. As K.W.Jeter put it in the SF/noir novel appropriately titled Noir, a turd in a can.

And that kind of thinking keeps biting them in the ass, and they still haven’t learned. ORCA was all marketing and never intended to work… it made some folks a lot of money and that’s all that they ever intended.

and perfected it with Gingrich and Rove.

“Perfected” is maybe not the word as it didn’t help Gingrich after a certain point. He gets credit for, if not innovating with it, the major share of the pollution of the word “liberal”.

Yea. Okay. Maybe not “perfected” as much as “became dependent on.”

Also “vast majority” was a bit hyperbolic. A wee bit.

The farce is strong with this one, and she projects like a light saber.

For the past four years, the Obama administration has created a Franco-German welfare state whose sole purpose is to forge a majority political coalition wedded to the Democratic Party.” The explosion of food stamps, the bailouts — all translated into an ‘I got mine, not gonna’ worry about anybody else’ mentality that has ruptured this country into two camps.

It’s not hard to see how those who restrict their reading to sites like American Stinker and RedState, etc., are convinced that in only four years we’ve become a “Franco-German” socialist hell. Despite the fact that in their real lives, the one they drive to work and shop and watch reruns of “Laverne and Shirley” in, hasn’t changed one fucking whit.

The item inside is usually poorly made, unrepairable, and scarcely addresses the role that it is supposed to fulfill.

Yes — but with regard to the highlighted part: while a lot of stuff is truly unrepairable, a lot of stuff can still be fixed, just necessarily as easily as it should be and not many people know how to do it anymore. My university recently started a monthly “Repair Fair” where volunteers help fix broken stuff for people to both help them save money and keep stuff out of the landfill.

I’m fairly handy and this is the first time I’ve been tempted in many years to actually volunteer for something. (Last time I volunteered for something I got fucked over by it and swore I’d never volunteer for anything again.) I think I’ll check it out next month and see what it’s like.

Now, the dilemma. I no longer have a “crash pad” in Memphis. since I was almost never there and didn’t need to spend the $330 a month any more.

This leaves me with two options – find a hotel and waste a day in Memphis (I still come out ahead on the money) or jumpseat home in the morning and then jumpseat back to work in the evening.

May I suggest a candidate for the next post.

Oh man, I should not be surprised when someone here cites Noir. That said, I thought it was crap. Forced myself to finish it and regretted that.

The kids are all agog over Iain M. Banks but I never read any so I recently got Consider Phlebas. Was halfway through it before I recalled where the title came from. How fucking pretentious. So anyway, it had all sort of plot hiccoughs, long tangent passages about peripheral characters which passages turn out to be largely irrelevant, unbelievable semi-major characters, tortured and nonsensical plot twists, not very believable and incoherently written action scenes, and in the end the main character (who is, in a daring twist, not the protagonist – there is no protagonist as far as I can tell) dies. And the prose is … workmanlike is being generous.

I recall the early David Brin, for example, being a bit rough around the edges and he improved over his career (until he plateaued then jumped a space shark). So tell me, should I bother with any more Banks?

I was this close to perfecting my Projectometer, a device that would quickly and accurately measure the amount of projection a person was exercising when speaking.

Unfortunately, the prototype exploded recently, and all attempts to repair it have resulted in just another explosion. The only explanation I can come up with is that the vast, concentrated amount of projection being exerted by conservatives since Nov. 6th has poisoned the entire time/space continuum and made the operation of such a device impossible, likely for decades to come.

It was just a little hobby of mine, but I’m still a little disappointed. Then again, I was still deciding what to call the unit of projection it measured. Perhaps thinkers would have been a good name, with 1.0 thinker being equal to the average quantity of projection in one american thinker article.

Of course, this leads to the issue where other everyday sources of projection would likely have to be measured in millithinkers or even nanothinkers, sort of like how calories as we know them in lay terms are really kilocalories. Hm.

So tell me, should I bother with any more Banks?

I like Banks and have read all of his work that I can get my hands on. If you didn’t like “Consider Phlebas” you probably wouldn’t like any of his other stuff any better, with the possible exception of some of his short fiction anthologies.

The elephants at LEAFS SUCK zoo have become a serious contentious issue. Three years ago, they lost their matriarch and then the new matriarch in rapid succession. Both were 40, a pretty old age for zoo elephants. The three remaining elephants are also all fairly old for zoo elephants. In a round of Rob Ford gravy train cost-cutting last year, the elephants were identified as an unreasonable expense (around $600K per year) and then a whole convoluted hooferawferee yadda yadda. Here’s the story as told by someone who actuallly researched it.

Oh man, I should not be surprised when someone here cites Noir. That said, I thought it was crap. Forced myself to finish it and regretted that.

The kids are all agog over Iain M. Banks but I never read any so I recently got Consider Phlebas.

I thought Noir was schlocky, shallow, and ended poorly, but it had a lot of very memorable ideas. Thus my reference to it.

As for Banks, I started with Consider Phlebas also followed by Look to Windward, and later realized that it was perhaps the worst choice of an entry path. I’d recommend Excession or perhaps Matter in retrospect.

If you wants you some Space Opera, you’d do well with Peter F. Hamilton’s Night’s Dawn trilogy or Commonwealth saga. Avoid the Void books until you’ve read the latter, and then only if you liked it. Hamilton does not seem as pretentious as Banks’ or Alastair Reynolds’ works, though I enjoyed Reynolds’ perhaps more than any other.

Liberals are the most disgusting people to know in person, with a few exceptions. Oh, they can be nice, compassionate, friendly, but when the chips are down, the nastiness, envy, race-baiting, pettiness, and ignorance come out. They will gossip about you behind your back, put you down to your face, and go blithely about as if that is their perogative. And I come from a family of liberals, I should know.

That’s it? That’s the worst they can come up with? That’s the great crime we liberals are responsible for? We gossip about them behind their backs?

I mean, I find conservatives repugnant because whether or not the chips are down, most of them are racist, elitist fucks who dedicate their entire participation in civil society to ensuring that the people who aren’t like them are fucked in every possible way – denied their citizenship rights, denied any basic services, denied a voice in their own government, all the things they think they’re entitled to but no one else should be. I don’t give a fuck what they say about me – of course human beings gossip, water is wet, and Popes shit in the woods with bears who are Catholic.

I got a Costco membership some years back just to buy a huge plasma TV. Discounting the $50 fee I still saved some Franklins versus any other local store. Then I would go walk through the store and not buy much because I had no use for 64-packs of whatever. Nor room for it at home. I’d end up with some pretty cheap lamb loin chops and a couple bottles of wine. I stopped going at all after a couple months.

The anti-Costco

Wal-Mart’s reputation as a Christian company has been one of the reasons the retail giant has been notoriously hard to organize. The company embedded itself in a particular brand of free-enterprise-friendly Southern evangelical Christianity that, as historian Bethany Moreton pointed out in her book To Serve God and Wal-Mart, helped win the loyalty of its massive corps of service workers.”
http://www.religiondispatches.org/archive/culture/6615/wal-mart_faces_a_new_round_of_historic_strikes…_but_why_now

I have to say, as much as I like Biden, I like him even more after seeing a boxed set of Beverly Cleary books in his shopping cart.

I’m looking forward to “Beezus and Biden”.

I like that Costco actually tries to pay their workers a living wage, but do Americans really need giant mega sized packages of everything?

Not everything. But some things are a good bargain, and not too large for a family of four.

I highly recommend the meat dept. Costco is the only grocer that requires ALL of its ground beef to be tested for microbial contamination. I won’t buy ground beef anywhere else. And the rest of the meats are very good quality at a good price.

If you can resist buying the 15-lb package of Kosher Hot Dogs, the 3 gallon tub of mixed nuts, the 72-pack of hot pockets, and the 200 bars of Kit Kats, when all you really need is 5 lb of ground beef to put up in the freezer and a couple of flats of Diet Coke, then it’s worth it.

I have a family of three, and we spend about $100/mo at Costco, mostly on meats, cheese, and canned goods. And liquor.

Some people just go in for a $5 pizza or rotisserie chicken.

Wal-Mart’s reputation as a Christian company has been one of the reasons the retail giant has been notoriously hard to organize.

The thing that most grates about Wal-Mart is how they pass themselves off as “Aw shucks! We’re just a l’il old down-home retailer.” instead of a multi-gazillion dollar mega-corporation.

Now you know why Andre Gurode, Chicago Bears Center, wears his cup in the back.

With almost clockwork timing, 22 years later Governor Sarah Palin, a reform politician of high reputation, was selected as GOP vice-presidential candidate.

Reform? High reputation? Lord tunderin’ Jaysus, what is this person on?

I haven’t always been the biggest fan of Joe Biden, but I will readily admit that he’s one of the few politicians with a “regular guy” image that is entirely genuine.

From that American Thinker piece:

Running for the Senate in 2006, [George] Allen drew attention to a Democratic stalker named S.R. Sidarth, at a rally, calling him “macaca”, a word of West African origin, evidently derived from the macaque monkey and meaning a silly or trivial person (certainly apropos in this case, since Sidarth wore his hair in a Mohawk and dressed with similar flamboyance). Although the term has no discernible racial content, the Washington Post, followed by the media sphere as a whole, accused Allen of racism — Sidarth was Hindu and thus, although as Caucasian as Willy McGilly, an honorary “person of color.”

Here is a photo of S.R. Sidharth. He’s simply not Caucasian. A type of English racist would call him a black and a wog. These paragraphs (there are more) about Allen are chock-full of lies… The term “has no discernible racial content”? At the time someone explained where Allen probably learned it (his mom), and he was obviously using it as a racial epithet, i.e. he used it in the sense he learned it. Not to mention, does the Right really want to keep relitigating the whole callin-people-of-color-monkeys-ain’t-racist bit? Some of ’em do, recent memory tells me. They never win that one, unless you mean they win points with full-throated racists.

And those big bastard chicken pot pies they sell are not only delicious but yield 3-4 meals per person.

I suppose. I almost never buy highly processed foods. I will cop to snagging a rotisserie chicken at the Safeway and using it for enchiladas or pot pie that evening, but that’s about as far as I go. Its not difficult to lay out a pastry crust (make extra, it freezes beautifully), make a veloute (if you have some version of PM’s awesomely good brown poultry stock in the freezer use it for an amazingly good dish) then throw some veggies – froze peas are great, some cubed potate, chopped carrot – and cooked chicken in it and toss in the oven which has been preheating while you futz about with the prep and have a glass of wine or a beer or a cocktail you can have a fabulous pot pie on the table within 60 minutes. Take two minutes to make a nice vinaigrette, toss with some greens and voila, wonderful, easy, quick, and CHEAP meal.

Pick the carcass clean and make chicken salad sammies for lunch. Use the rest for enchiladas or something. Three meals from a $6 chicken. Total cost for three meals (for two) and a lunch under $15.

Our food budget is remarkably small given how well we eat. Our booze budget, in fact, is usually larger.

Other stuff I’ll buy the flat of whatever, take some for myself, and give the rest to the food bank, along with some stuff specifically for the food bank. I buy most of the rest of my food at a local grocerystore chain.

“I remind them: my vehicle is a scooter, people.”

You have a MOTOR? LUXURY!!1! My vehicle is a bicycle, and I live in a small apartment. My Costco membership pays for itself; one trip a year each for TP, toothpaste, laundry detergent saves me plenty time in shopping at the local markets. Plus, I haul snacks to my office for my co-workers; great exercise, and they tell me how much they appreciate my effort. And I’m not surrounded by hungry, cranky people.

Not to mention Costco is a liberal company, paying high wages and great benefits to their workers. What’s not to like?

LEAFS SUCK Mayoralty Update:

Judge Hackland has revised his ruling to remove any ambiguity about Rob Ford’s eligibility to run in a by-election. He is now definitely eligibile to run – meaning the chances of a by-election just increased dramatically. Between Ford’s abuse of process to extend his vacated term and time enough for a truncated campaign, we could be going to the polls as early as summer 2013 – to vote for a mayor who will finish their term at the end of 2014. At a cost of around $7 million. Awesome.

With Rob Ford cleared to run, the conservative councillors who might compete will thin out. Brother Doug was only going to run if Rob wasn’t – Karen Stintz who expressed interest has previously stated that she doesn’t want to run against Rob. I can’t see Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday stepping up against Rob. Of the right-leaning councillors that leaves Denzil Minnan-Wong and Giorgio Mammoliti, both members of Ford’s Executive Committee (although Mammoliti quit four hours after the court decision).

Outside of council, John Tory is being floated. He’s more of the establishment money-con as opposed to Rob’s rabble rousing populist approach. Tory’s been dying to be mayor for decades, throwing his hat into the ring at every opportunity.

On the left, there’s a lotta pressure on Jack Layton’s widow to run – they’ve even conducted polls with various Olivia Chow match-ups, and she handily wins all of them. Personally I think we’re better served with her in an Elder Statesman role in federal politics, but I wouldn’t be upset by having a non conservatard mayor for a while.

Ford has a hearing on whether he will be granted a stay of the decision while he appeals it. That is on the 7th and the appeal itself is scheduled for early in the new year.

Historical awesome.

Wow. Awesome ain’t the half of it.

He just doesn’t get it:

“Why would anyone want to get rid of a person that is born and raised in the inner city, third of four generations in the military—just an American success story?” asks West, from the living room of his Palm Beach Gardens home overlooking a pool and golf course. “I’m not some guy that came from a rich political family or anything like that,” he says. “I’m just an everyday guy, but I have a passion for my country.”

There are other reasons of course (he’s a crazy jerk), but I thought “Guy with pool and access to a golf course calling himself ‘average'” was funny.

I’m making angel food cake (layered with Meyer lemon curd [picked the lemons myself]) so, while I haven’t done any kenyan gay abortions today I’ve spent some time beating the whites.

The thing that most grates about Wal-Mart is how they pass themselves off as “Aw shucks! We’re just a l’il old down-home retailer.”

last night a friend said, ‘those fucking walmart semis should just drive to the nearest landfill and just dump their fucking loads in them…that’s all their shit is good for…throwing in the fucking trash…’

there may have been a few more f-bombs in there…

i have an aunt who was briefly married to a chef and he once made us an angel food cake concoction wherein he hollowed out the innards of the cake and filled it with chocolate whipped cream…and then of course frosted it with such…it was divine…meyer lemon curd would be equally so…damn it…i have yogurt and fruit for lunch today…sigh…

VS; please to keep your saliva. If you want to take my place at what promises to be a stultifying, soul destroying dinner party you can have all the cake you want.

I’ve used my pressure cooker three nights this week, whereas I average maybe once a week. I don’t know why I don’t use it more often, the things are a marvel. Tender beef stew, pulled pork sammies, less than an hour start to finish. Made a big batch of garlic confit too – wonderful stuff to have a jar of on hand.

Meanwhile Chucky Kraphammer is urging the GØØPers to throw the country off the fiscal cliff. Go Chuckles go!

funneh…i was thinking of dragging mine out…just might do that this weekend…i have decided that i am going to make the 24 hour pork shoulder you linked to in a previous thread for xmas eve…since i have to work some of that day and we have to attend church with the inlaws, it should be pretty hassle free…also, if i decide to have potatoes with it, i’m going to go easy there also…cut up a bunch of spuds, put in the crock pot with heavy cream…last year’s ethnic roundup with the sauerbraten and knoephla soup was pretty hectic for me…i wanna spend this year relaxed (read: wine) and able to hang with the fambly…

put in the crock pot with heavy cream…

And butter! Lots of butter. And some garlic braised in butter.

“Using the pressure cooker”

Stay in bed JP, I’m on day 5 and still have significant thud-head.

I’ve used my pressure cooker three nights this week, whereas I average maybe once a week.

It’s funny how many people are afraid to use a pressure cooker because sometime back around 1948 their grandmother accidentally launched a pot-roast into low earth orbit with one.

Bill O’Reilly: Insulting Christians and non-Christians alike.

the comments over there are priceless…my f.i.l. who is a faithful fox newser as well as missouri synod luteran-er, gave me an insert from their sunday service to read because, ‘boy, isn’t that the troot!’ it turns out it’s a billy graham thing:

‘Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those who call evil good,’ but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable… We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from sin and set us free. Amen!’

With the Lord’s help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we once again can be called ‘One nation under God!’

i read it and made no comment…he eventually put it away, also with no comment, but i’m pretty sure with a prayer for my soul…i think it was his way of expressing his unhappiness with hubbkf and i not attending any church in lo, many these months…

i find a sadness in any belief system where we are continually condemned as sinners, we should continually plead for forgiveness and where the world is seen as a filthy, horrible place…

Remember to always check your facts.

The bubble is strong with this one.

Wouldn’t you be a better fact checking site if you actually checked some of the facts? This one take about 30 seconds worth of careful Googling to de-bunk or maybe 5 minutes of actually reading the constitution or half an hour of discussion with a constitutional law scholar.

It’s funny how many people are afraid to use a pressure cooker because sometime back around 1948 their grandmother accidentally launched a pot-roast into low earth orbit with one.

My great grandmother had a still blow up in her kitchen in the Bronx. She was European, so she wasn’t down with any of that Prohibition bullshit. Had to scrape mash of the ceiling for weeks…

Heh, scraping the mash…

We have exploited the poor and called it their own fault. We have rewarded corruption and called it merit pay…

and where the world is seen as a filthy, horrible place…

Hear! Hear! I find it interesting that many of the people who so loudly express their belief in God (I wonder who they’re trying to convince) are also so convinced the world their God created is such an awful place, and that, furthermore, they are entitled to make as big a mess of our world as possible.

And that whole “One Nation, Under God” thing came in during the 1950s to score points off those godless Commies.

You watch and wonder: Why does it always have to be cliffs with this president? Why is it always a high-stakes battle? Why doesn’t he shrewdly re-enact Ronald Reagan, meeting, arguing and negotiating in good faith with Speaker Tip O’Neill, who respected very little of what the president stood for and yet, at the end of the day and with the country in mind, could shake hands and get it done? Why is there never a sense with Mr. Obama that he understands the other guys’ real position? [my emphasis]

It would be irresponsible not to speculate where the problem is there, Peggers.

For the R.E.M. fans – 1981 concert

So there’s this young man who has an overprotective mother. She convinces him not to mess around with girls because “they have teeth down there and they’ll bite off anything that comes near it.” Of course, he believes his mother and as a result, spends his youth being both obsessed with and frightened by vaginas.

Not entirely surprisingly, the young man grows up to be a dentist.

Despite this handicap, he finally meets a nice, understanding girl and they get married. On their wedding night, they go to bed and nothing happens. His bride says “Aren’t you going to make love to me?”

He says, “No, I can’t. You have teeth down there and they will bite off my penis!”

After overcoming her incredulity, she convinces him to inspect the goods for himself to prove that she indeed has no teeth in her vagina. He dives down under the sheets, and spends a good deal of time examining her.

Eventually, he surfaces and says, “Well, it’s no wonder you don’t have any teeth… your gums are in horrible shape!”

Perhaps?

Apparently this is about as subtle as it gets.

Eventually, he surfaces and says, “Well, it’s no wonder you don’t have any teeth… your gums are in horrible shape!”

The version I heard included a woefully underinformed minister, his frustrated wife, a broken bottle, and his son on the couch with a comely young miss.

The punchline: “Get ’em now, son, before they grow teeth!”

OK, maybe it’s Safari for Mac, but I ain’t seein’ that.

How much is California in debt? $70 BILLION? Make that $80 BILLION now! They will blame it on republicans, Romney and ask “Uncle Barrack” to make it all right. Barrack will turn around and propose a “fair tax” for Texas, Arizona and all the “really belligerant red states.

Neo: Am I right in assuming you are on the Pacific Ocean side? (ARE there any beaches in the Bay?) So what is your nearby inland topography like? Got a basement?

Fenwick:

On the ocean side, and yes, there is a beach called Ocean Beach that’s beautiful but cold (we have surfers, but they all wear wetsuits) but we’re quite a ways uphill and there are no major creeks/rivers in our neighborhood (the Richmond district). The big threat is probably if the sewers get backed up, but we’re on the second floor. Probably the worst thing is that our garage might get fucked up. The bay side of SF is probably more dangerous, since so much of downtown is bay fill. All of those businesses in the Financial District that the CBS trolls think don’t exist anymore are the ones who probably ought to worry the most.

I’m not too worried, really. I’m thankful I don’t live in New Orleans or New Jersey. It’s less that I’m scared and more the way it hits home that wow, these people hate their fellow Americans SO FUCKING MUCH. It’s amazing.

Bolt snapped due to mechanical resonance caused by marching soldiers

As I recall, this is the reason soldiers are commanded to “break step” when crossing a bridge.

Helloooooo, Orange County was called “Reagan Country”. ”

The trick with California is that the cities are Blue and the interior gets
more and more Red the closer you get to the Nevada or Arizona borders. San Diego (a coastal city) is in a situation where the area is going from Red to Blue; they just voted in Bob Filner as mayor, ending years of Republican rule. However, within San Diego county, you see the same slide from Blue to Red the farther East you go.

In this kind of circumstances, it does not matter how cost-free the schooling
technique is, doesn’t issue how intelligent the child is. That child is propably? not going to get all of that fantastic grades, if he attends school whatsoever.. . Meanwhile an average kid inside a average family is totally able to receiving higher grades, all due to the steady platform a stable family and property can offer. Individuals in ghettos dont do effectively in school, doesnt subject if theyre black, white, or purple.
