Kevin “Musclehead” McCullough has those horrible bags under his eyes because he stays up late at night thinking of new names to call liberals. And that’s hard work. ‘Cuz anyone can call a liberal a “terrorist” or a “godless atheist.” But Kevin has worked his musclehead extra, extra hard and now has a new insult for liberals: “Why Liberals Make Atrocious Parents.”
This is, of course, a rather surprising claim from Kevin, since he also believes that liberals are too busy aborting babies or having gay sex to actually have any children. But, apparently, when we stop putting our junk in the wrong orifices and allow a pregnancy to go to term, we’re terrible — no, atrocious — parents. Unlike, say, Rudy Giuliani or Jeb Bush.
And why is that? Well apparently because Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards, when asked about the gay fairy tale King and King during a recent debate, didn’t declare a jihad against the book’s authors:
Tim Russert asked the three front-runners for the Democratic nomination as to their comfort level of teaching a homosexual story of two boys consummating their lust for each other to children in the second grade. They all agreed they would support the teaching of such behavior.
How can you resist a story about two boys consummating their lust for each other? That sounds really hot. So I rushed out and bought a copy, and let me tell you was I ever disappointed. In fact, I’m going to ask Kevin to pay me back the $14.95 I wasted on this book. All the two boys did was get engaged and kiss once. I don’t know what passes for consummating one’s lust in the McCullough boudoir, but I can tell you the minimum standards for consummating lust, at least in my bedroom, are considerably higher.
Another reason that liberals are atrocious parents, according to Kevin, is because they let their children run wild in department stores:
If you want to see this at work in the real world - take ten minutes to go randomly interview any girl who works in women’s retail today. The hellions that liberal moms bring into their store - and immediately lose track of the moment they begin trying things on are significantly different than the children who have been taught to stand quietly and wait until they are home to run, wrestle, hide, seek, laugh, and play.
Liberal moms, you see, tell department store clerks right before they go into the changing rooms that they support gay sex, abortions and welfare for illegal immigrants, which is how those clerks know so much about liberal moms and their naughty children. D’oh!
Here’s a cautionary tale about Middle-Eastern dissidents who seek to advance their causes — even after the lesson of Iraq — by making common cause with American right-wing extremists and their phony ‘human rights’ campaigns. (Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi is the daughter of Iranian political prisoner Siamak Pourzand, and was recently an organizer, with Michael Ledeen, of the extraordinarily fishySecular Islam Summit.)
Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi is the English editor of Iran Press News and a lifelong Iranian democracy activist who, along with her family, has been battling the mullahs since they took power in 1979. Like everyone else who isn’t a student of Columbia University, she was locked out of yesterday’s forum on the campus featuring Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Had she been allowed to confront Ahmadinejad she might have been able to ask him what the regime has done with her father, who has been a political prisoner since 2001.
From: Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi [email address redacted] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2007 11:26 PM This photo was taken of a woman in 1992 in the town of Arok in Iran. It was smuggled out by the photographer in the early 2000’s…this woman was in her early 20’s and if it was used by some filmmaker, it would have been because the photographer gave it to her to use. My old partner from Iran Press News was the person who was given the photograph…it first came out in Iranian websites before it came out in the western press. Ralph Luker, a professor who blogs on the History News Network is calling Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week “Hate Your Neighbor Week.” Apparently Ralph’s neighbors are Ahmadinejad, Nasrallah and Zawahiri.
Also once again, this is from comments at Southern Beale, 9/27/07, at 11:27 PM. The first comment by ‘Ban’ appeared one minute after the above email was sent, and several hours before the email and its claims were published:
typical of leftist turds who want to discount the misery of Iranian women. This is NO actress you fuckwits. This was a woman in her 20’s in the city of Arok in Iran and the photo was taken in 1992 and the photographer GAVE IT to Tamizi.
Ban | 09.27.07 - 11:27 pm |
You’re nothing but cultural imperialist westerners who have NO clue as to what goes on in the middle east and only want to scream about your own misery to drown out the sounds of the real pain around the world. SHAME ON YOU FASCISTS.Why don’t you move to Iran so the Mullahs can give you a taste of what your free speech will cost you.
Ban | 09.27.07 - 11:32 pm |
Wow…you guys really believe your own lies. Tamizi was given the photo by the photographer you self-congradulatory American smart ass. What do you think? That Iranians are liars and we make this stuff up? Who died and made you such an expert on our part of the world Ms. Southern Belle?
Nasi | 09.27.07 - 11:37 pm |
Oh yes, these silly entitled people sit on this side of the world nice and happy, fat, ignorant, arrogant and think that we have to lie about the filth of the Mullahs. Wait till they come and get you, because they are coming and by the time you wake up, it will be too late and then you will be wondering why you treated us like sand monkeys. Racist.
Somaya | 09.27.07 - 11:40 pm |
Ban, don’t you think posting under five different names is a little disingenuous? Do you really think I don’t know how to look up an IP address?

Actually it wasn’t just me posting Madam. I contacted a group of my friends who all live in the US to show them what racists you people are and how much you want to support the Mullahs by acting like the Mullahs do not stone women to death in Iran. THAT is why you have people baragging you…because I told them to give them a piece of their mind. Just to show that you American leftists will do and say anything to support the Islamo-Imperialists.

Well, Ban, you’re all living really close together because you all have the same IP address and it’s in Virginia, not the Middle East but whatEVER. Keep up the fairy tales.

These are the people who will soon be appearing everywhere as ‘experts’ to make the case for war with Iran. (Apparently, among other things, ye shall know them by their trail of Internet sock-puppets.) Since Malkin’s HotAir jumped all over Glenn Greenwald for a lesser and more ambiguous offense, perhaps the healing can begin with an update on their Zand-Bonazzi interview.
On a related topic, Matt Yglesias picks up on the lavishly-funded Freedom’s Watch group (next target: Iran policy) via the NY Times, but as usual, things are probably worse than Matt immediately believes. Because what’s this? Apparently, Freedom’s Watch is partnered up with these people — the same dirt-grade, yell-in-your-face Bush loyalists who were out fomenting attacks on war protesters on the 15th, and hanging out at the White House on the 18th. The White House reception makes a bit more sense now, at least. (The ones who wear actual brown shirts, by the way, are the Vets For Freedom.)
If you’re not thoroughly weirded out yet, check out the famous names involved with Freedom’s Watch — a group which, according to its founder, “has more funding than MoveOn.org and other George Soros operations.”
Fascinating article by Avery Cardinal Dulles over at First Things discussing the recent spate of relentlessly atheist and/or anti-Christian books (such as Dawkins’ The God Delusion, eg)…
Mark, you don’t need to use “e.g.” if you’ve already prefaced it with “such as.”
…and the overall relationship between faith and science. I highlhy recommend it, especially, to anyone in with and interest in the debate between materialist/determinst Darwinism and Intelligent Design.
One of the things which fascinates me about this debate is that we have it - of what real importance is it whether one believes the world was created in six literal days 6,000 years ago, or believes it was created by a slow process of evolution starting 6 billion years ago? Or some compromise between the two extremes? To me, the more important thing is that the world is, indeed, here and that I am on it; much more profitable if we would discuss what we should do here, today - but we have this debate, and it gets quite heated at times. Why is that?
And heck, why are we wasting our time teaching children about stupid shit like the Magna Carta signing, which happened, what, a billion-kajillion years ago? Bo-o-o-riiiiiing! What’s the worst thing that can happen to people who don’t learn the lessons of history, huh?
[A]s a bit of evidence for this success on the ground in Iraq, a trip over to Iraq Casualties shows that the number of deaths for American troops and for Iraqis has fallen dramatically in the past few months..reaching lows not seen since early 2006.
Say, let’s take a look at the numbers for “the past few months,” shall we?
I know we haven’t spoken in - well, never, because I tend to completely ignore you. I can’t even often find it in me to hold you in some sort of contempt, mostly because it’s hard to hate a pasty, misshapen lump attempting to pass itself off as a human being. The closest I’ve actually come to thinking about you is to wonder whether, when you cut yourself shaving, you bleed beige.
But I’m not a heartless person, and I really felt someone should tell you this. It’s sort of embarrassing for me; this is the equivalent of pointing out to someone at a fancy dress party that they have toilet paper stuck on their shoe, or the back of their skirt tucked into the waistband of their underwear or something. Please know that my saying this doesn’t mean I think any less of you; it is a mathematical impossibility for that to happen, anyway.
I know you think that men like Markos Moulitsas are dangerous radicals, and that Kos and el Che would have been running through the Guatemalan countryside together, screaming “Viva Allende” and twirling their bandito mustachios for crowds of swooning señoritas or something. And somehow, this reassures you that your placement of the American political center as being just exactly under the tip of your impeccably polished Bruno Magli loafer is as painfully correct as every other thought that passes, ever so briefly, through your brain. But I don’t even really want to talk about that.
It’s just. . .well, gosh. It’s embarrassing that I even have to explain to you how American electoral politics works.
I know you think that all of these CNN polls showing Hillary Clinton holding a — what did you call it? A “commanding lead” — in the primaries actually mean something. I guess you probably think that because it reaffirms your particular tweed-tinted view of the way the world works.
It’s just that there’s one little, tiny problem with this.
You see, it doesn’t really matter if even 95% of the American public want to see Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee: If the other five percent happen to be the Democratic primary voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, then she won’t be the Democratic nominee. And, with that in mind, I am trying very hard to figure out how a 2.5% margin is, by any normal sense of the word, “commanding”.
I’m really sorry to have to bring this to your attention. If you can send me the name of your tenth-grade civics teacher, I’ll send an email to offer comfort and and reassurance that none of this is his or her fault.
Also, is it true that in your deepest, darkest, most hidden fantasy life, you imagine that you are Walter Mitty?
Thanks for all that you do to keep American political commentary completely inane!
A New York Jets season-ticket holder filed a class-action lawsuit Friday against the New England Patriots and coach Bill Belichick for “deceiving customers.”
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Newark, N.J., by Carl Mayer of Princeton Township, N.J., stems from the Patriots being caught illegally videotaping signals from Jets coaches in New England’s 38-14 season-opening win Sept. 9.
“They violated the integrity of the game,” Mayer’s attorney, Bruce Afran, told The Associated Press. “This is a way of punishing Belichick and the Patriots.”
Mayer is seeking more than $184 million in damages for Jets ticket holders. […]
“They were deceiving customers,” said the 48-year-old Mayer. “You can’t deceive customers.”
The lawsuit maintained that because other teams found illegal videotaping by the defendants, Jets ticket holders should be compensated for all games played in Giants Stadium between the Jets and Patriots since Belichick became head coach in 2000.
Leave aside for a minute that this man never has and never will have sex with anyone in his entire life.
Let’s look at the “merits” of his “case.” He is actually saying that the Patriots “defrauded” Jets fans by pummeling their team into an unrecognizable pile of goo just about every time they’ve met over the past seven years. According to Mayer, the Jets- who have been coached by such invincible sideline gurus as Herm Edwards and Al Groh, and have been quarterbacked by such modern legends as Brooks Bollinger- was clearly robbed.
Irony: you know who worked for the Patriots during several of their recent ass-kickings of the New York Jets? That’s right- Eric Mangini. I wonder if Mayer will want to sue him as well.
There’s been kind of a lot going on with this story today. Not terribly unrepresentative is the following, from comments at SouthernBeale:

Because if you did, you would know that profits are what attract competition. So even if two, three or four firms colluded in some way that drove prices up past their normal market level, the consumer would ultimately win due to the market entrance of others eager to capture these economics.
But they wouldn’t, at least not in the short run. The major reason that airlines can successfully collude to drive up prices is because they operate in an oligopoly. One of the major traits of an oligopoly is that it has high barriers to entry; in other words, it’s not a lemonade stand that anyone can get up using only water and a packet of Country Time.
Above: Believe it or not, it takes fewer resources to set up one of these than it does to set up an airline.
Now: when oligopolistic firms collude to keep prices high, we the public have two options:
1.) We can let the Magic of the Free Market run its course in a market that has prohibitive barriers to entry and is (for people who need to travel long distances) rather inelastic.
-OR-
2.) We get the Big Mean Gubmint to come in, à la Moe from the Three Stooges, to say, “Knock it off, you knuckleheads!”
Having the gubmint knock the airlines’ heads together won’t stop prices from ever being increased EVAR, but it will stop firms from engaging in anti-competitive behavior to keep prices artificially high.
Over at The American Spectator, one Lisa Fabrizio wants you (parents of college-age kids) to know that things have gotten very bad at America’s institutions of higher learning. The truth may shock you: college kids are having sex… with each other! And if you think that it’s only the students who have gotten easier, hold on:
In modern America, a college degree is now almost a given, a birthright for the nearly two-thirds of all high school graduates who go on to higher education.
A birthright… for the 51% (2002) of college students who actually complete their degree (within 5 years). Which is, in case one is wondering, 4.2% below the same figure for 1988. So pretty much as Lisa had predicted, except that the silly party won. I think this is largely due to the number of votes cast students who were too drunk to show up for class. (Giving everyone 6 years to finish doesn’t improve things by much).
And while binge drinking on college campuses has become almost an afterthought in the past few decades [!], it is the explosion of sexual activity on campus that should cause the most concern for parents.
But hey, our buddy Gateway Pundit isn’t down! The reason? Because the Kurds are (I’m not making this up) building a shiny new casino in Sulaimaniyah! Wow-wow-wee-wuh-wow! What better way to cap off a day of evading car bombers and snipers than by throwing your hard-earned dinar into a slot machine!
One of the strangest traits of Iraq wingnuts is their desire to believe that the Iraqis are actually grateful that the United States invaded their country. Can anyone tell me where this sort of lunacy comes from?
