Sowell Gets Mail (Stamped From The Dough Of Human Suffering)
better than prune juice
Who would have thought that lonely wingnuts, paralyzed by abject despair, would find their very own Dear Abby or Miss Lonelyhearts improbably tucked away in the Hoohah Institution and would, in their darkest hour, pen soul-searching letters to her (or him) seeking consolation, guidance and hope? Well, if our old buddy Tom Sowell is to be believed, he is being inundated by such letters:
An increasing number of recent letters and e-mails from readers strike a note, not only of unhappiness with the way things are going in our society, but of despair.
So he writes back: Dear Despairing Soul,
Those of us who are pessimists are only a step away from despair ourselves, so we may not be the ones to offer the best antidote to the view that America has seen its best days and is degenerating toward what may well be its worst. Yet what hope remains is no less precious nor any less worthy of being preserved.
Well, I feel much better already. Don’t you?
First of all, the day-to-day life of most Americans in these times is nowhere near as dire as that of the band of cold, ragged, and hungry men who gathered around George Washington in the winter at Valley Forge, to which they had been driven by defeat after defeat. …
Against the background of those and other desperate times that this country has been through, we cannot whine today because the stocks in our pension plans have gone down or the inflated value that our houses had just a few years ago has now evaporated.
Ah yes, the tried and true “at least you don’t have wooden teeth” argument. My mom used a variant of that when anyone would complain about getting socks and underwear for their birthday: “At least you don’t have leukemia, you know.” My guess is that “Despairing Soul” is now thinking he would have been better off writing to Amy Alkon.
Worse yet, there are moral corrosions within ourselves that weaken our ability to face the challenges ahead. One of the many symptoms of this decay from within is that we are preoccupied with the pay of corporate executives while the leading terrorist-sponsoring nation on earth is moving steadily toward creating nuclear bombs. Does anyone imagine that we will care what anyone’s paycheck is when we see an American city in radioactive ruins?
I know that I for one would survey a heap of nuclear rubble and kick myself over executive pay caps because, you know, in the time it took to pass those caps we could have invaded Iran, blown up their nuclear facilities, converted the population, given Hershey Bars and ponies to everyone and been back home by dinnertime.
It took only two nuclear bombs to get Japan to surrender — and the Japanese of that era were far tougher than most Americans today. Just one bomb — dropped on New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles — might be enough to get us to surrender. If we are still made of sterner stuff than it looks like, then it might take two or maybe even three or four nuclear bombs, but we will surrender.
And it’s not just because we have a hummus-eating eating surrender monkey in the White House. Read on.
How did we get to this point? It was no single thing. The dumbing down of our education, the undermining of moral values with the fad of “non-judgmental” affectations, the denigration of our nation through poisonous propaganda from the movies to the universities. The list goes on and on.
In short, we we will surrender to Iran because kids aren’t reading Shakespeare in high school anymore, because we aren’t sending teh gays to butch camps, and, natch, because we gave Slumdog Millionaire, a movie about winning rather than earning money the old-fashioned way, eight Oscars.
The shame of Stanford strikes again.
What the fuck is he talking about? Can we get Jim Bunning to do some Sowell prognosticating?
There, fixed for historical accuracy.
I thought even paleocons knew we dropped the 2nd bomb not to get surrender but to show Russia that we could make more…
What about Iran and nuclear weapons? Are we just going to bend over and let them blackmail whoever they please with nukes?
Then the whole world will see us as a paper tiger, as bin Laden accused us of being.
You know, maybe Bush’s biggest mistake was not using tactical nukes in the tribal areas of Afghanistan after 9/11. It would have made Saddam piss his pants to let inspectors in, would have wiped out Al Qaeda, and shown the whole world that you don’t attack the United States because we’re willing to use nukes.
These looming dangers – exactly how many generations in the future are they?
Does anyone imagine that we will care what anyone’s paycheck is when we see an American city in radioactive ruins?
Take heart, Mr. Sewer.
That city will be a large metropolitan area either in the Northeast or the Coast.
The shitkickers who remain in the flyovers or the New Confederacy will still want their checks.
I don’t know who wrote this, because it sure as hell doesn’t sound like recent Sowell. He either changed his meds or outsourced this sucker. Not that it’s any better than the usual nonsense:
“It might take two or maybe even three or four nuclear bombs, but we will surrender.” Wow. Screw you, buddy.
I HATE AMERICA!
How about… “Oh, isn’t that cute? You have a nuclear bomb. We have 5000 of them, and the capacity to turn your entire country into f***ing glass 1,000 times over. Now, hows about we sit down for a nice long chat?”
“You know, maybe Bush’s biggest mistake was not using tactical nukes in the tribal areas of Afghanistan after 9/11. It would have made Saddam piss his pants to let inspectors in, would have wiped out Al Qaeda, and shown the whole world that you don’t attack the United States because we’re willing to use nukes.”
Of course! The wild eyed crazy man defensive strategy! That’s always worked…
Unlike Japan, the US might have a few of those nuclear bombs laying around someplace. Israel likewise.
Why do these idiots assume Iran would start launching as soon as they build one? They know someone would launch back.
Therefore MAD was a big hoax, the Democrats have had all our nuclear weapons made into tofurkey, and Russian troops are already driving up to Harlingen Texas from their landing point in Caracas, Venezuela.
““Oh, isn’t that cute? You have a nuclear bomb. We have 5000 of them, and the capacity to turn your entire country into f***ing glass 1,000 times over. Now, hows about we sit down for a nice long chat?””
They think Americans are weak and soft, so they’ll probably drop one on Israel (or maybe one of our Arab allies) thinking we won’t do anything.
Bush Jr’s biggest mistake was in not using nuclear weapons on San Francisco, New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. Had he taken out all those bastions of liberal gay perversion in one swoop, then the fine white Christian Republican people of the South and the Heartland could live without the jackboot of oppression they currently suffer.
Plus, the Iranian leadership is filled with fanatical Muslims who would love to go see Allah. They won’t care if we nuke them back.
oops – too slow
Prof. Groeteschele: [walking to the podium] I’ve been making a few rough calculations on the effect of two twenty megaton bombs dropped on New York City in the middle of a normal workday. I estimate the immediate dead at about three million. I include in that figure those buried beneath collapsed buildings. It would make no difference, Admiral Wilcox, whether they reached a shelter or not. They would die just the same. Add another million or two who will die within five weeks. Now our immediate problem will be the join one of fire control and excavation. Excavation not of the dead, the effort would be wasted. For even though there are no irreplaceable government documents in New York City, many of our largest corporations keep their records there. It will be necessary to… rescue as many of those records as we can. Our economy depends on this.
Does anyone imagine that we will care what anyone’s paycheck is when we see an American city in radioactive ruins?
Here’s your conservative movement in a wingnutshell. Stoke fear with one hand, snag the wallet with the other.
It was brave patriotic rhetoric like this which led Timothy McVeigh to his anticipatory revolt against the coming One World Government surrender to the Russians & UN.
It constantly amazes me how willing these wingnuts are to postulate surrender.
except when they are watching Red Dawn, i guess.
Um, how exactly would surrendering to The Terrorists work? Would we all have to pledge allegiance to the Terrorist flag? Sign a document at the capital of Terroristan? How would The Terrorist viceroy administer the next round of TARP money?
“It would have made Saddam piss his pants to let inspectors in…”
As I recall, Saddam was pissing his pants to let inspectors in shortly before we invaded (Seems to me they were already there, but my memory isn’t what it used to be. Never was, as a matter of fact). We just didn’t care: We were all ready and why let all of that hardware go to waste? Besides, those inspector pansies wouldn’t have found the WMD’s anyway. Oh, wait…
Joe, you’re right, the inspectors were already there. The UN pulled them out when it became apparent that Bush was dead-set on invading.
At the time, the refrain was that Saddam was fooling the inspectors, showing them the wrong things. And of course, the inspectors were all rubes or traitors, so could not be trusted when nothing was found.
I am unsure about the pissing his pants part. Sounds like something Sowell and Realist might be more familiar with.
Why not use tactical nukes where we think Al Qaeda is?
Ah, stage four of the Kubler Ross model…
Let’s see, right now the terrists have exactly zero nuclear weapons, and no ability to deliver them.
But we are supposed to be worried about four?
And when 300 million Americans kneel down in pants-wetting fear, a what, couple thousand terrists will land their rowboats and just take all our ATM cards?
Fantasyland is a fun place to visit, but it really makes a lousy base of operations for life.
As I recall, Saddam was pissing his pants to let inspectors in shortly before we invaded
Indeed, his response to the UN Security Council resolution said categorically he had no WMD.
Who would have thought we could take the word of Saddam Hussein over our own government?
Do I hear five? Five nukular boombas? Yes – how about six? Come on, an even half dozen mushroom clouds…
WTF? If a nuclear attack were to occur anywhere on the planet, there would be no surrendering involved. The whole world would come down against the perpetrators – even if it was Crazy Kim Jong Il bombing Heartland-town USA or Crazy Neo-Con Wet Pants nuking the Havana or Tehran.
No one (except bedwetting survivalist WOLVERINES) likes nukes. Fucking Bushie took the tragedy of 9-11 9-11 9-11 and parlayed that into a fucking excuse to shit a trillion dollars down a hole in the sand. Smirky McFuck-You-Asswipes had a 90% Approval rating and world-wide support in the weeks following the attacks. Imagine if the smoking plane were a myshroom cloud.
Asshole.
Why not use tactical nukes where we think Al Qaeda is?
That would be a helluva cleanup job under your bed.
“WTF? If a nuclear attack were to occur anywhere on the planet, there would be no surrendering involved. The whole world would come down against the perpetrators – even if it was Crazy Kim Jong Il bombing Heartland-town USA or Crazy Neo-Con Wet Pants nuking the Havana or Tehran.”
Ok smart ass, what if a terrorist detonates a bomb in NYC and we don’t know who is responsible? Do we just start nuking North Korea and random middle eastern nations we don’t like?
Personally I think we should make it official policy that if a nuke goes off in any American city, Mecca and Medina get H-bombed the next day.
Personally I think we should make it official policy that if a nuke goes off in any American city, Mecca and Medina get H-bombed the next day.
Not a smart move if Mossad detonated the device.
Sadly, yes.
Anyways, what the fuck is your point? If we don’t know who the hell is responsible, how is pissing on Iran going to fucking make any difference?
“Not a smart move if Mossad detonated the device.”
Oh yeah, an ally is going to nuke us. Thanks, anti-semite.
I’m sure if Al Qaeda does nuke us you’ll be on here ranting about how it must have been Teh j000s.
Ok smart ass, what if a terrorist detonates a bomb in NYC and we don’t know who is responsible?
If we don’t know who they are, HOW CAN WE RUN TO THEM IN PANTS-WETTING SURRENDER?
Tom Sowell would short circuit like those androids in Star Trek who can’t deal with contradiction
Oh yeah, an ally is going to nuke us.
So you’re saying we should make Iran an ally?
Ok smart ass, what if a terrorist detonates a bomb in NYC and we don’t know who is responsible?
And your argument is, we don’t know who’s responsible so let’s nuke them now?
Lord knows that terrorists hate to take credit for their attacks.

What better strategy to induce us to nuke Mecca or Medina, as you put it. You have the strategic acumen of a Lab puppy.
Damn you zombie, you have outpaced me again. You must be a 28 Days Later-type turbo zombie.
Consequences of Nuking Mecca
By: Vernon Richards, author of ‘Islam Undressed‘
Because a war of attrition heavily favors their ultimate goals, Islamist terrorists have so far not been deterred by large numbers of their young men being killed. Life is cheap to them, even their own, and so they remain unmoved by their losses and still lust for power through murder. Their grass-roots support base, billions of Muslims world-wide, can still be counted on to largely support their efforts, even if only passively. If sufficiently humbled, then at some point the majority of Muslims might yet choose to abandon violence and stop their sons, or at least temporarily withdraw their jihadist forces to established realms of influence (just as the Turkish hordes did after being soundly defeated by the Polish cavalry). But any decision to withdraw will not come by either negotiation or accommodation, but only through abject humiliation and defeat. What form of defeat will suffice to convince Islam to put the Jihad genie back in the bottle is a subject of widespread debate. Pacifists blithely claim more therapy, understanding, and multiculturalism is the way, and will likely continue to spout such nonsense right up until the Halal knife slices their throat. They congratulate themselves for being so open-minded, oblivious that their brains have fallen out. Happily self-blinded by excessive relativism, they can no longer distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, or dark from light.
Those more personally touched by Islamic methods, and with the ability to realize you cannot create sweets from bile, often prefer methods of ‘total war’. Our enemies remain free to plan and perpetrate never-ending acts of total war designed to destroy the very fabric of our society. Failure to respond with even greater destructiveness will only serve to prolong this struggle. In any contest, the first rule of victory is to fight on your own terms and not your opponents. In any violent struggle, victory goes to the most ferocious and skilled. As Patton said, let the other poor bastard die for his country, our objective is to fight and win. We must fight with more energy, more cunning, more intelligence, and more ferocity than the cunning animals seeking our demise. It is simply suicidal to refuse to fight a people and culture who are motivated, mobilized, and pledged to destroy you. The true terrorists, the men and nations brainwashing, supplying, and ordering terrorist attacks, would prefer they remain unmolested. They are quite happy to let us use our police, military, and intelligence to play cat and mouse with their endless supply of terrorist foot-soldiers in this contest stacked against us. In this war, victory will go to the party most effective in convincing the opposing party that surrender is preferable to a continuation of hostilities, and so victory will remain out of reach to us as long as the enablers and handlers remain safe. Muslim survivalists will only force the end to the terrorist activities springing up from amongst them when made to pay a terrible price. One ‘terrible price’ currently under debate is an nuclear attack on Mecca should any 9/11 scale attack (or larger) occur on US soil. I am in favor of such planning in the event of a catastrophic strike against America, because I believe the burden of loss needs to be shifted decidedly to fundamental Muslims themselves (and what they value most) if there is to be any hope of ending all this madness. To yield to Islamists demands and take the option off the table would be strategically stupid. Unfortunately, the only thing an insanity respects is greater insanity.
But as has been pointed out by Robert Spencer, Nuking Mecca could also be seen by Islamists as a weak action and could serve to unify Muslims and increase Jihad. But this is only true if not done properly and the city is left salvageable within a few years. Once devoted Muslims carry out their next major strike on America, the Mecca plan should be carried out without hesitation or warning. No Hiroshima class atomic wimp-weapon will do, only the 1,000 times more powerful hydrogen fusion device will work for this important job. To be done correctly, a grid of 9 of our most powerful Hydrogen bombs (3×3, every 12 miles, the black stone at the center) are set off at the surface to be as dirty as possible, rendering the entire region uninhabitable for the next few decades. The strike is then repeated every 5 years or so if any kind of clean-up is attempted. Medina needs one too, to prevent Arabs from declaring the transference of the holy site to the secondary location, but Mecca needs to be thoroughly ‘glassified’.
Muslims will thereby learn by force-feeding that their hateful God (Allah) cannot protect them and is a figment of their collective imagination, and millions will leave the failed cult. Nothing harms an Arab more than humiliation and defeat. They sincerely believe that their most-powerful Allah has promised to protect and preserve Mecca, and so their false faith in the Pagan deity will crumble with the meteorite in the intense heat and pressure of a fusion fireball. Can a billion Moslems worldwide face radioactive glass 5 times a day and still take it seriously, I don’t think so, or at least not over the long term. Cut off the head and the snake will still squirm for a while, but it will soon stop. In addition, by preventing Muslims from -ever- performing one of the pillars (requirements) of Islam, we block their way to paradise, but thereby actually save them from real hell (Islam is hell-on-earth is this life, and brings only sorrow and torment in the next). When the time comes, by all means, Nuke Mecca, …but do it right. By this act, and this act alone, many intelligent Arabs, Persians, Egyptians, and Asians will stop their foolish ideas of superiority, and so curb their sanctimonious rationales to commit hateful acts of murder, rape, slavery, and violence. Domestic Muslims will need to be controlled for a while, with heavy doses of education and trauma therapy applied. If they can commit to opposing Muhammad and his methods, then in a generation or two Islamic nonsense will not be worshiped by their children. If they can make no such binding commitment, then deportation is in order. As Hiroshima saved more lives than it took 60 years ago, so will thoroughly nuking Islamic sites save more lives than will be taken otherwise, including possibly yours, mine, and your children and my children.
While we all hope such measures are unnecessary, to fail to plan for that eventuality is to plan to fail. If we were to Nuke major cities in Iran and Syria, the root of Islam in Mecca would remain and worldwide faith in Muhammad and his vile methods would be strengthened instead of weakened. Such a weak act would embolden the movement and the gains in destroying America would be perceived as well worth the cost. In the mean time, while we all await for the rumored catastrophe, a concerted effort to supply Persians with the means and weapons to overthrow the Mullahs is urgently needed in Iran. Our Persian allies in this effort need to understand that they will likely die with the Mullahs in the inevitable nuclear storm which will follow should they fail. The Kurds of northern Syria are also salvageable, but there is hardly anything else worth preserving in Syria. As I have been informed by Jordanian and Lebanon Arabs, Syrians are not to be trusted, and for reason.
And when 300 million Americans kneel down in pants-wetting fear, a what, couple thousand terrists will land their rowboats and just take all our ATM cards?
Silly silly silly. Why do you assume America will still have a functioning (term used loosely) banking system at the end of this month?

Sounds like a plan to me. I am glad we are able to agree with our glibertarian troll brethren on this, and anticipate that he will immediately start pestering his representatives in pursuit of this noble goal.
Silly silly silly. Why do you assume America will still have a functioning (term used loosely) banking system at the end of this month?
You are right, of course. Glad I’m a broke-ass zombie.
The dumbing down of our education,
Thanks, Ronald Reagan!
the undermining of moral values with the fad of “non-judgmental” affectations,
Because blow jobs are more important than torture or running guns to Iran!
the denigration of our nation through poisonous propaganda from the movies to the universities.
True. An American Carol WAS an absolute treasonous screed.
Well, I guess that explains why Sowell thinks Americans will surrender so readily. They think everyone’s a quivering spineless mass, apparently.
I am glad we are able to agree with our glibertarian troll brethren on this…
Me too! Obama really is the Magical Unity Pony, to bring this about.
So we’re all under-educated girly men who got too much edumacation at the university and saw the wrong movies.
Oh well, Sow-hell is so tough we’ll just hide in the bushes while he catches Islamo-BMs in his teeth.
Personally I think we should make it official policy that if a nuke goes off in any American city, Mecca and Medina get H-bombed the next day.
I’ll agree.
Now, can we start with your hometown, please?
They think everyone’s a quivering spineless mass, apparently.
It’s called projection.
Little harsh, actor.
After all, Sillytroll’s hometown likely contains non-crazy people. No need to punish them all.
All we really need to do is flood his Mom’s basement.
I wonder how much the inevitably meglomanically named troll makes per post. A dime? 4 posts and you get a can of Hobo Beans?
Conservatives are cheap dates.
Dumbing down of education, huh?
Sowell has taught Economics at Howard University, Cornell University, Brandeis University, and UCLA.
Guess he would know.
Democrats have had all our nuclear weapons made into tofurkey
Our enemies tremble and cry out as one, “DEAR GOD NOT THAT!” I for one support complete Tofurkey disarmament.
“It would have made Saddam piss his pants to let inspectors in…”
The invasion of Iraq was a done deal as of fall 2002 and possibly as early as spring 2002. No matter what Saddam did we would have simply moved the goalpost so that he could never, ever meet our demands.
We don’t move 150,000 troops and all the logistics to support them halfway around the world as a show of force. A show of force is a couple carrier battle groups and a squadron of F-117s.
When we start moving the heavy iron you know there’s going to be a war.
I must have missed the ceremony where we surrendered to hurricanes after the destruction of New Orleans. Did they put it on the TeeVee?
As for
Oh yeah, an ally is going to nuke us.
An ally wouldn’t operate deep-cover agents in the Pentagon or counterintelligence services, would they? Because I don’t think the iranians managed do do that, much as they might want to.
Mossad, on the other hand…
WE are THEIR ally….but THEY are not necessarily OUR ally. Please let me know when IDF troops take a turn at manning the DMZ in Korea, ‘k?
Dear Tom Sowell: Obama wants his Valley Forge speech back. Wait, never mind, yours is much shittier.
All we really need to do is flood his Mom’s basement.
I say that if one basement is flooded, we should nuke the hell outta Mecca. Also, if this fucking hangnail doesn’t get better by next week – nuke Mecca. And if the Academy doesn’t take all those Oscars back from Foreign-dog Millionaire Foreigner and give them to Paul Blart, we should nuke the fuck out of Mecca.
PS. I’m joking about the hangnail – my feet are examples of physical perfection.
Copy-and-paste troll copies and pastes.
they’ll probably drop one on Israel … thinking we won’t do anything
Troll has a point. It’s not as though Israel has the intelligence resources to know whether another state plans an attack on their territory, or the means and the will to prevent that happening, or for that matter nuclear weapons of its own. So that’s Israel well fucked, then.
Now get back under your bridge.
“It would have made Saddam piss his pants to let inspectors in…”
I know it’s been said already, but I just want to underline it and put smiley face dots over all the i’s(you’ll have to imagine it, alas. WordPress Islamo-wave-rapes endangered species): the inspectors were ALREADY in Iraq, they had to be REMOVED before we could attack. According to El Pais, Saddam had even offered to step down leave Iraq for $1B.
What does this fool think ‘surrender’ means? What ground army does he imagine will be occupying the USA for us to surrender to? I know that the wingnuts are terrified of their sexually-repressed misogynist brethren in Al-Qaeda, but it takes a special kind of crazy to imagine a ‘surrender’ to Al Qaeda, Iran, N. Korea, even fucking China. This is what happens when you can’t define victory—you can’t even define defeat.
Ok smart ass, if we don’t know who detonated that bomb, to whom are you are afraid we will surrender?
Saddam even went so far as to offer to allow the CIA in to inspect. We basically told him “See you in Baghdad”.
The perils of a privileged education:
Editors’ Note: Since writing this artical, Esther Conrad has graduated
from Stanford.
And not a moment too soon, I’d wager.
I just ran out of cookies. Can we nuke Mecca now?
So, if I surrender, I can haz kidney?
I am appalled when people like Sowell talk so casually about dropping a nuclear weapon on somebody.
I commanded nuclear weapons in SAC. I don’t take them lightly. I used to sit alert with 16 of them on my aircraft. The kind that make Hiroshima look like a firecracker.
…in pursuit of this noble goal.
Somehow I initially read this as in pursuit of this noble goat.

We ought to nuke Boston just for hosting the Necco Company…
Mr. Sowell’s quite the little ray of sunshine, ain’t he?
But then we’ll have to flood Mecca and Medina! And do you know how hard it is to bring water to the desert???
I once read somewhere that it would cost something ridiculous in light of the money spent on bombing the shit out of the Mideast, something like $5 billion, to bring potable water to most of the impoverished areas around the world.
Of course, that would result in lessening of human misery, increased sanitation and cleanliness, and raising the standard of living without torture, killing and fear….
Obviously not something that interests the right wing.
Wait, Zombie…you mean….give them…water?
Just put up $5 billion with no hope of any payback? What would it cost to at least hook up a meter and have some, you know, charge so we could collect reparations later?
I don’t know about you, but I’m looking really forward to Governor Bobby Jindal’s Response to President Obama.
B.J. truly is, as Atrios put it, the sexiest man alive.
Hey now. I always sort of liked the pepto-flavored ones.
Then again, I liked paint chips.
I know, it’s crazy talk.
Exactly. Sowell’s the same nutter who just for the fuck of it in one of his Random Thoughts dumps opined that he’d be fine with a military coup.
Can we please ban the copy-and-paste troll already? Seriously.
Mmmm, been a long time since we had a good troll.
Troll is lovely & consistent…
Me personally, I get whiplash if I try for that kind of flip-flopping in under two minutes.
I remember my main waving-my-arms-in-the-air point at the time was “what the fuck do you think Saddam can do with UN inspectors swarming over every part of the country that isn’t barren desert?”
The invasion was inevitable, but the despicable cheerleading from the media (and the corresponding absence of sane debate) certainly wasn’t.
A-Fucking-Stonishing!
That Sowell can seek to placate his ideological bretheren as to their conditions without ONCE mentioning the catastrophic clusterfucks over which Unca Tom and his ‘sowell’ brothers presided these last 30 years?
I am breathless in admiration
I don’t know about you, but I’m looking really forward to Governor Bobby Jindal’s Response to President Obama.
First nationally televised live exorcism? Will not-Bobby reference not-Joe the non-plumber?
The wingnut cognitive dissonance ever since Obama’s election is making my head spin!
We did the simultaneous “obama’s all doom and gloom instead of hopeful” and the “ohmigod civilization’s gonna end I gotta git mah guns!”; we did the “damn greedy unions gotta cut their pay” and “govmint cain’t dictate executives’ bonuses.” We did the “Obama’s just an elegant elitist” and “that feller sez ‘um’ a lot, and bumbles.”
So today’s talking point is “what economic meltdown? Let’s nuke Iran!” and “terraists is gonna set off a dirty bomb in my living room, let’s nuke Iran!” and “surrender monkeys are gonna make us bow to Mecca, let’s nuke Iran….and Mecca, too (note: located on our ally, Saudi Arabia’s soil).”
Wouldn’t it be easier on their systems if they just made like the Three Stooges and poked fingers in each others’ eyes instead?
Oh, and I am trying to imagine the emotional state of someone who would write Thomas Sowell for advice in a moment of despair.
Shorter right wing: projection.
This is why they’re mewling about Obama using “scare tactics” to frighten people about the economy. Never mind that Obama would have to jump out of a closet screaming “ooga-booga” constantly for the next eight years to even come close to reaching the fear-mongering bar they’ve already set.
Just one bomb — dropped on New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles — might be enough to get us to surrender. If we are still made of sterner stuff than it looks like, then it might take two or maybe even three or four nuclear bombs, but we will surrender.
Surrender? Yeah, probably. To the reptilian overlords of the Homeland Security Agency. Murkins long to be told what to do. They detest the “burdens” freedom, and would gladly surrender it in a crisis…
Oh, and I am trying to imagine the emotional state of someone who would write Thomas Sowell for advice in a moment of despair.
It’s the people who didn’t hear back from Mr. Wrestling over at Big Hollywood.
Ok smart ass, if we don’t know who detonated that bomb, to whom are you are afraid we will surrender?
Oh, man, I can see it now: Muslims nuke us, and unknowingly we surrender to the Reconquistadores! Madre de Dios!
Does anyone imagine that we will care what anyone’s paycheck is when we see an American city in radioactive ruins?
No fair, The Humungus has THREE tins of dog food!
B.J. truly is, as Atrios put it, the sexiest man alive.
He’s not known as “hte Sexorcist” for nothing!
I am appalled when people like Sowell talk so casually about dropping a nuclear weapon on somebody.
Yeah, and to think the St00pid Troll actually thinks that “Little Boots” Bushie should have used tactical nukes against Al Qaeda, thereby lowering the “nucular threshold”. The stupidity is truly appalling.
“Who would have thought we could take the word of Saddam Hussein over our own government?”
I’m sure it galls the crap out of the contards with any memory that “Baghdad Jim” McDermott was right. It makes me dance a little happy dance around the internets.
Also, my son took a Shakespeare class last year in high school. Could somebody please tell Sowell to stand down? It turns out it’s all good after all.
Been down Sowell long it looks like up, ain’t that a shame.
Sowell long, it’s been good to know ya…
Oh, man, I can see it now: Muslims nuke us, and unknowingly we surrender to the Reconquistadores! Madre de Dios!
Well, those tacos al pastor are suspiciously shwarma-esque… how could we have known?

Except for the porky part, of course.
Hey dudes, guess what? I just got offered a job with ACORN!!!
And…I think I’m gonna take it!
I raise a cup of goat’s blood in Jennifer’s direction.
All I know is if I start seeing tamale-style kibbeh, I’m hiding in the closet.
Congrats, Jennifer!
Wolverines!!! Also.
to whom are you are afraid we will surrender?
First of all, the day-to-day life of most Americans in these times is nowhere near as dire as that of the band of cold, ragged, and hungry men who gathered around George Washington in the winter…”
nor nearly as white, but I guess he wouldn’t notice that.
Great news, Jennifer! I’m sure you’ll help us all register to vote in multiple states under multiple names.
“The list goes on and on.”
Yessah, Massa Warshington, it sure do, donnit suh!
If only Sowell was gay I could make a joke about “Uncle Tom’s Log Cabin.”
But he isn’t, so I won’t.
Congrats Jennifer!
Perhaps you can ensure that Mickey Mouse doesn’t vote in the next election.
Umm, aint nobody going to drop a nuke on NYC. Iran aint going to develop an ICBM capable of hitting NY any time in the next 100 years. Nor will Korea. Nor Syria. Bomb Mecca? Aren’t the Saudis our ally? Sure would fuck up our oil imports though, so maybe that would be a good idea to reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Maybe we ought to nuke Caracas and western Canada just for good measure.
If NY was to be nuked, it would be shipped in quietly, stealthily. Thank GOD W did such a great job of protecting us by seriously beefing up port security, eh?
Since nukes are so easy to make – you can get the frigging plans off the internet – it’s highly likely NYC will be nuked and millions MILLIONS I SAY will die and we’ll have to wet our pants and surrender to…..well to somebody, you can be sure of that! Anyway, look how N. Korea only needed 10 years and a few billion dollars to make a nuke. So what if that nuke was pretty much a dud? Did I mention that W is the main reason N. Korea has a nuke, btw? They didn’t have one when he took office. We had inspectors watching their every move, making sure they weren’t working on one. Only six or seven years of W’s masterful foreing policy kept them from getting their own…huh?
We know Al Quaeda is spending billions on their crack team of nuclear physicists in their superbly well equipped labs in Torah Borah. We know this because we’ve seen their org chart. Sure, the #3 spot is pretty mutable but still, they’ve got the resources of an entire nation to work with, right? So it’s guaranteed that NYC will be nuked by Al Queada thanks to their advanced labs in Pakistan so we should immediately bomb Iran. That much is clear.
Also, Mein Fuhrer! I can valk!!!!
“We know Al Quaeda is spending billions on their crack team of nuclear physicists in their superbly well equipped labs in Torah Borah.”
They don’t need to build one. They can buy one from their buddies in Pakistan.
Or steal one from Russia, or buy from NK, or…yeah. There are a lot of possibilities.
SomeNYGuy – you bet yer ass I will!
Actually, at this point I have 2 offers pending – the other one looks to be a stable but boring sales job. I’d much rather work for Great Satan!!
Oh yeah, an ally is going to nuke us. Thanks, anti-semite
Realist, you’re Jewish? Wow! Who’da thunk it! Shalom!!
When will you be making Aliyah? Soon?
But BTW, realist, as one Jew to another, don’t go looking for anti-semitism, or creating it where it doesn’t exist. There’s enough already, without your help. Every Jew knows that. Why don’t you?
congrats, Jennifer. um, so, can I send all these registrations I have carefully boxed up (took me the better part of a couple of weekends to write out!) to you, now?
Great news Jennifer! Now we won’t have to nuke Pyongyang – unless of course they don’t make you a director in the next two weeks. In that case, it’s glowing radioactive Kimchi time.
congratulations, Jennifer. um, can I send my boxes of voter registrations to you? Took me the better part of a couple of weekends, and some serious writer’s cramp, to fill them out.

Yes, you’re right, we should nuke Pakistan immediately. And NK. That might turn thinggs a little sour with the Japanese but big fucking deal. Now we need to do it secretly so the only difficulty will be in how many they toss over into India. And how many India returns. I’m sure that Israel, seeing all this shit going on in their back yard, will figure either that Iran is invoplved or that it just looks like a fine timeto lob a few nukes at Iran. And Russia, getting a bit nervous at all this nuculating going on at their very doorstep will surely show extreme restraint aqnd do absolutely nothing.
Meanwhile, the cheese eating surrender monkeys might get a bit tetchy – you know how snooty THEY are – and join the party. After all, what’s the point in having nukes if you don’t use them? WooHAH! We’re having fun now!
On the other hand, the nuclear winter will cool the earth by much more than we’ve warmed it so this could be the best climate change weapon ever conceived! What, climate change isn’t real? Aw fukkoff, we liberals are running the show now. We want to kill a few billion people and turn civilzation back a few hundred or thousand years. WE WON SUKKAH!
Maybe we ought to nuke Caracas and western Canada just for good measure.
Do me a favour and leave eastern Canada out of your calculations, please?
“They don’t need to build one. They can buy one from their buddies in Pakistan.”
But but but, I was told by the GOPers during the past 8 years that Pakistan, which has a democratically elected government, was our ally in teh War on Terruh. Certainly Pakistan would never sell-out an ally! TI take it you support President Obama position that the US retains the right to strike targets in Pakistan if the Pakistanis don’t do it themselves, right? As such you renounce and reject GOPer howling to the effect that Obama was threatening to “invade” or “attack” an ally, right? If not, why don’t you support the Commander in Chief at time of war?
If I end up working for ACORN, it will be on organizing people and businesses on the health care issue, working on the Employee Free Choice Act, and on programs related to the stimulus.

Dear Professor Sowell,
I have great despair for the state of society. It seems that we are all but cheese-eating surrender monkeys, with no testicular fortitude whatsoever. If only we could regain our massively cockified state of patriotic starburst-y fervor.
For example, recently at this one blog I hang around occasionally, they were coming up with survivalist jokes and nary a one referenced that brilliant bit in the Scottish Tragedy – comme ça:
Knock, knock, knock! Who’s there, i’ th’ name of Be’elzebub? Here’s a survivalist that hanged himself on the expectation of RAHOWA. Come in time, have napkins folded into hoods enough about you, here you’ll sweat for ‘t

Ok, now this is getting bizarre.
No sooner have I talked to ACORN and posted about it here, but out of the blue I get a call from a recruiter who works for educational publishers, asking if I’d be interested in covering Arkansas and Oklahoma for educational technology products. It depends on what they’re paying of course, as well as a few other factors. So now it looks like there may be as many as 3 offers pending.
When it rains it pours, don’t it?
How does it feel to be rich with Soros-bucks?
Well, it doesn’t suck.

Why am I more worried about a “Martin Sheen’s President Stillson in The Dead Zone” type Rapture Ready Winger Asshole than I am some Goat Herding Mooslims nuking NYC? I’d be even LESS worried about the GHM nuking NYC if Rapture Ready Asshole George Bush didn’t do everything he could to ensure that NONE of our port cities beefed up their security, but that Utah Park Rangers got night vision goggles and Cipro with our tax dollars.
Jindal is going to blow President Teleprompter out of the water tonight.
Harcore Fenton Pub!
snarkle – actually, they said it was reading diagnostic software. The big issue here is that ed publishers generally suck to work for as a company rep. I wouldn’t even consider it if the offer was less than a guaranteed $60K + benefits + expense account, because these fucks want 80 hours a week out on the road. They try to do a $45K + “bonus” deal with everyone, then set quotas so high that you can’t meet them even working 80 hours per week – which leaves you making something like $10 an hour. So I’ve already set my limits there – if they want the time, they’re going to have to pay for it. Mostly because I really don’t relish the idea of living out of suitcases again, I almost hope they don’t make a good enough offer. If they do though, even a year of that could help me out a lot.
On balance, I’d rather have the ACORN job, even making a lot less.

Why else have you hated Clarence Thomas form the day he was nominated?
“Exactly. Sowell’s the same nutter who just for the fuck of it in one of his Random Thoughts dumps opined that he’d be fine with a military coup.”

I bet in 1980 you said “Oh yeah please let it be Reagan!”
I bet in 1980 you said “Oh yeah please let it be Reagan!”
No, actually, politically precocious child that I was, as a 13-year-old in ’76 I predicted that if Reagan got the nomination, he would win; if Ford got it Carter would win. The south was pretty much angry white guy ground zero back then, too, and Reagan knew just how to appeal to their anger and bigotry. Ford didn’t.
Wow, and I bet in 1932, you said “Oh, god please let it be FDR”…
Carter was elected by “angry white guys” then? He won every southern state but one in 1976.
I can only speak for myself. I was not joking! I am glad that repigs are supporting diversity in sexual practices. They’ll probably be forcing gay marriage on all us God-fearing Liberals next.
So is Hardcourt Fenton Pubb is just gonna name off every non-honkey Republican, then bellow “BET THAT MAKES YOU LIBRULS MAD!”
‘Cause, ya know, maybe it’d be good for us to have a list of silly self-loathing Republicans to make fun of?
They’ll probably be forcing gay marriage on all us God-fearing Liberals next.

Just as long as they don’t force us to marry airport bathroom stalls. That would be horrible – not that there’s anything wrong with it.
Actually I was hoping for Hillary. She would have been real easy to beat.
Airport bathroom stalls can be responsible parents, too!
Just as long as they don’t force us to marry airport bathroom stalls.
I’ll marry one, so long as I can date urinals.
I was raised by an airport bathroom stall, and I learned godly values and how to flush properly.
I’m just glad I wasn’t raised by wingnuts.
The one constant theme – perhaps the only one – that drives every repig these days is “I like XXXX because it annoys Liberals!” This is the first time in history that a political party has nothing to hope for beyond being a mosquito to their hated opposition.
Congratulations, nutcase repigs.

Louisiana Sen. David Vitter (R), who survived a 2007 sex scandal, called on Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.) to resign Tuesday for his ethical shortcomings.
Vitter was connected with a prostitution ring two years ago and dismissed any suggestion of hypocrisy given his own refusal to resign in the wake of that scandal.
“I honestly don’t know anybody who would compare these situations,” he told The Hill on Tuesday. “They are dramatically different.”

The best part is, everyone is more amused than annoyed. Instead of mosquitoes, I think the proper analogy would be gnats – they annoy, sure, but they don’t draw any blood, but just sort of float around aimlessly, without any apparent purpose.
I just made on offer of accepting surrender, I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition.

“I honestly don’t know anybody who would compare these situations,” he told The Hill on Tuesday. “They are dramatically different.”
Oh, that’s brilliant. You want my prediction, Vitter’s heading for a really bad crack-up before long. Like a “visiting a private hospital, wearing straitjackets, on suicide watch” crack-up.
Then you are guilty of incest, Mr. Craig. For a repig that is a forgivable offense, though of course not for a Democrat. But if that airport stall is underage, that is another story!
In that case, you get a standing ovation from the repig caucus in Congress and a Presidential Medal Of Freedom from President-In-Waiting JindalPalinNewt.

Another clueless Republican fucktard – NORM!!!
It turns out that Norm Coleman is still a member in good standing of the Senate Republican Conference — in fact, it just so happens that he attended today’s party lunch meeting on the Hill, and was also there for Inauguration Week.
What makes this remarkable is that Coleman isn’t actually a member of the United States Senate anymore. Remember that his term expired this past January 3, and Minnesota has been without a Senator because of his lawsuit bottling up Al Franken’s amazingly-narrow win.
“He’s always welcome,” Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) told TPMDC, adding that “we still think he has a very good opportunity” to win.
It’s unclear whether Alexander has actually been watching the trial, which has seen some key rulings lately going against Coleman’s position, diminishing the likelihood of a Coleman victory. In fact, the Coleman camp’s press operation has taken to openly attacking the court’s rulings.
We will say this: The fact that Coleman doesn’t actually have a vote probably makes Jon Kyl’s whip operation a lot easier.

Besides being the party of no, Republicans like to thwart the will of the people – i.e., pushing lost cause litigation as far as possible, just to prevent a Democratic senator, who won an election, from being seated.

Here is how it will go down next week. First, the results from Virginia and North Carolina will come in, and they’ll be declared for McCain. You’ll be disappointed, but ‘no big deal, change can’t come overnight’ will be your comment. Florida will go red, and a little nervousness will creep in. The usual suspects will fall into the usual categories. As the night drags on, Ohio, Colorado, and (much to your horror) Pennsylvania will be too close to call.
My advice at this point to you will be to go to bed. You will wake up to a McCain presidency and the Great Liberal Freakout will be on.
Bookmark this, liberals, as this is exactly how it is going to go down. You will be wonder how the hell I was able to call this.

Projection, sure, but let’s not overlook displacement. The sad scared little dead-enders still lurking under the Repubs’ “big tent” can’t threaten their corporatist bosses not to downsize their jobs, or threaten the globalist banks not to foreclose on their mortgages, or threaten Wall Street into returning their 401(k)s. But, by Grapthar’s Hammer and that sissy Blue-Eyed Jesus, they can still threaten every ragtag not-sufficiently-subservient furriner with their mighty, mighty NUKES!!!

that is one effed up playlist. Did you get whiplash? Worse than a troll’s logic, that.
You know who doesn’t get enough recognition anymore? Curtis Mayfield. I mean, even if there weren’t more to him than “People Get Ready” (aka the song John Mayer has ripped off at least twice) and the Superfly soundtrack (spinning now), wouldn’t that be enough?
Roland, get the fuck out already. We didn’t even want you in the first place. Go. Now.

D’oh!
Jindal is going to blow President Teleprompter out of the water tonight.
Oh, I like this development. One the one hand, the right wing criticizes Obama because, yeah, he’s all Messiah-like and a great orator and “elegant” and all that empty rhetoric-type stuff, even though he says “uh” a lot and (gasp!) has to use a Teleprompter. As we all know, those things are all indications of a failed president.
But now they have Bobby Jindal and he’s a great orator who’s going to give a great speech and be their Teh One.
when that happens, of course, fancy rhetoric and elegance are Good Things.
I breathlessly await the anecdote where he goes off the Teleprompter, just like that great orator Sarah Palin did.
Shuffle play. I really like what’s-her-name’s inability to sing.
Did you mean Bobby “Teleprompter” Jindal?
All those red counties most of them populated by more barnyard animals than humans, which is good for the typical red-county-ite, as he has a wider choice of sexual partners than if he lived in a city.

How dare you stereotype an entire group of Americans based on where they live, you Volvo-driving, latte-sipping, tax-obsessed, Harvard-attending, baby-aborting coastal elitist?
The fact is, it’s a fact, not a stereotype.

It was implied, since they give you a year’s worth of subscription with each abortion or twelve lattes, whichever comes first.

Muslims will thereby learn by force-feeding that their hateful God (Allah) cannot protect them and is a figment of their collective imagination, and millions will leave the failed cult.

No Surrender
By J.R. Dunn
I’m curious — does anyone know of any situation, current, historical, hypothetical, or otherwise, in which some American conservatives don’t immediately start hollering that it’s time to give in?
That’s a serious question. It seems that whenever things get rough, the cry goes up: it’s over. The left has won. It’s not our country anymore. There’s no hope, never has been, never will be again. And almost always, it comes from people who claim that they’re the true nail-hard conservatives, the core element, of whom everyone else is merely a pale reflection.
With Obama, this chorus has become deafening. It’s the counterpoint to the Obama-as-Messiah drone from points left. Obama is the watershed, the spearpoint of a seventy-year-long conspiracy against the Republic. With his advent, the game has ended. There is no possibility of resistance. All he needs to do is raise a hand and his disciples will fill the streets, waving the little green book of the One’s Sayings and sweeping all before them. There’s nothing to be done now but to pack a single small bag and await the summons to appear for “reformation through labor”.
That or take to the woods with a cheap Kalashnikov knockoff and a knapsack full of canned baked beans.
It could happen just that way, I guess. But I have my doubts.
The argument (up until now unvoiced) appears to be that the country has been hollowed out by decades of liberal activity to a point where all that’s all required is a single kick for it to fall apart. Every institution has been undermined, every principle eroded. The intelligentsia are traitors, the business world has sold out, the populace as a whole is dumb as a dishrag. There’s nothing left worth saving even if it was possible to save it.
To say this is a one-sided vision is to insult one-sided visions. The first question we need to ask is: does this in fact resemble anything at all going on in the real world?
Thirty days into the Obamiate, we have seen that the man cannot put together a working cabinet. Four major figures have fallen by the wayside due to corruption of one form or another. A fifth — O’s major attempt at “bipartisanship”– scrambled back ashore just before this Titanic set sail. O’s successful nominees have been not quite what the situation demands either. Tim Geithner, the man who would pull a whole new economy out of his hat, is still looking for the hat. Eric Holder attempted to fulfill his duties as the nation’s chief law enforcement official by inflaming long-buried hostile feelings between the races. (I wonder if Obama grasps that, on some level, this is a blow aimed against him personally, in his persona of the man who embodies racial reconciliation?)
His great “victory”, the stimulus bill, succeeded in uniting the GOP in opposition, annoying members of his own party, dismaying the public, and sending the markets into a 300-point tailspin. Obama, and his followers, desperately need to contemplate the story of King Pyrrhus. A few days later, his banking proposal led to a repetition of the market collapse. But he succeeded in topping even that with his mortgage plan, which triggered, another market slide, nationwide defiance, and converted a little-known market commentator, Rick Santelli, into a focus of opposition. Nice work for a single week.
On the international front, he has triggered the disdain and contempt of Iran, Russia, and Venezuela among others. Mighty Kyrgyzstan has unceremoniously ejected U.S. forces. He has even succeeded in annoying the amiable Canadians prior to his visit to Ottawa. And to round that out, on Friday, February 20th, he for all practical purposes surrendered to the Taliban, a group sharing responsibility for the only successful attack on the mainland U.S. in modern times.
And this is the American Lenin, you say? The man who is going to overthrow the republic, trample the Constitution, and put the chains of socialism on a helpless, despairing populace?
What’s bothering many conservatives today is a kind of institutional memory of the FDR epoch. Roosevelt truly did carry out a revolution in political affairs. His first “hundred days” did in fact turn the country upside down. Such efforts as ending the gold standard, closing the banks, and establishing the New Deal with its complete control over the economy, were unprecedented, in no way comparable to anything that had come before.
Of course, you don’t fix a wounded economy by turning it upside down, a fact that became apparent in relatively short order. But even aside from the failure of the New Deal, FDR had a dramatic and lasting effect on the political landscape. Nowhere was this effect more apparent than with America’s conservatives.
Most of the Republicans of the era were country-club Babbits — go-along to get-along types who joined the GOP because Dad did. It comes as no surprise that these people had no solution to the country’s economic problems, or could put up any worthwhile resistance to FDR’s “reforms”. They were swept aside, and little serious opposition ever confronted Roosevelt. The era’s conservatives simply retreated to isolated pea patches while communicating only with each other. It took a generation for William F. Buckley to revive conservatism as a vital political and cultural force.
Even today, FDR remains a nightmare figure in the conservative mind. He’s denounced in contemporary books (such as the asinine Day of Deceit of which I was given three copies by people convinced it was a worthwhile read, despite its being one of the most ill-researched and badly written historical works I’ve ever encountered) with the energy and venom you’d expect to be directed at a man who left office last week, and he’s spoken of with a sense of fear and apprehension, as if he’s right around the corner and will come rolling back any minute, to scatter all before him like the Steelers’ offensive line.
But there is no third-millennial Roosevelt, only poor O, overwhelmed and getting in deeper every day. The Democrats are a gaggle of every-pol-for-himself hustlers of the Dodd, Rangel, Schumer, and Frank school, far from the unified, all-powerful party they were during the 30s. The progressive impulse is played out, a hollow ideology with no intellectual force behind it. The left-wing media is collapsing almost as quickly as the Madoff financial empire, from the venerable El Tiempos de Nuevo York to your local Democrat & Whatever. All that’s keeping the mad whirl going is the adoration of the simpler members of the public, than which no more fickle force exists.
Compare this to today’s conservatism. A GOP cleansed of its most egregious malefactors and unified as in a way unseen since the mid-90s. Consider only the leading names — Sarah Palin, Eric Cantor, John Boehner, Bobby Jindal. A greater distinction from the nonentities of the 1930s GOP can scarcely be imagined. The unity of the House Republicans against the stimulus bill came as a surprise even to me, and was of a nature to bring cheer to a stone. The Senate was not quite as impressive, but that merely marks yet another of the RINO’s offenses against intelligence, good sense, and common decency. (Has anyone ever considered the fact that “moderates” such as Spector, Snowe, and Collins are the among the least trustworthy of current politicians?)
In addition, there’s something that was scarcely imaginable in the 30s, or even in the 60s — a thriving and intellectually diverse conservative movement. A movement that has been through the fire, that has matured in both message and execution, and that remains underestimated by both its opposition and their media enablers. The modern conservative movement is even now moving into a new phase. It’s impossible at this point to say exactly where it’s going, but anyone wishing to write it off needs a little serious study.
Given the choice between this and a party headed by an intellectual juvenile who thinks he can disburse a trillion dollars one week and talk about “halving the deficit” the next, a party staffed with superannuated hustlers and grifters, with a rank and file comprised of mesmerized, glassy-eyed true believers, I know which one I’d pick.
The time may come when that choice will matter quite a lot. Obama has promised everybody everything. He will fail to bring any of it off, as Johnson and Carter failed before him. When he does fail, he will need to attempt something to shore up his base. He will move against the enemies of the people. He has several avenues open — gun control, the “fairness doctrine”, even euthanasia. Each will mark a fundamental attack on human rights and the American character that must be opposed and defeated. All hands will be required in this effort. There will be no excuse then for self-centered whining or skulking in the woods.
We will at that point have an opportunity to give the collectivist heresy a beating from which it will never completely recover. And if that isn’t worth a battle, what is?
So lighten up. The story ain’t over yet, and the fat lady hasn’t even buckled on her armor. And when the song comes at last, it may well be a tune we like.
And besides — I’ll bet you left your can opener home.
There is nothing like Whiteman jazz.

Dear Thomas’ Mailbox
I was passed over for a promotion at my workplace. I think it’s because I am too “Christian” for my politically correct workplace. I am in payroll and I take 10% off the top of every paycheck for the Lord. I also raise a fuss whenever the single mother employees’ try to use the medical plan for their illegitimate children’s health care. (My supervisor always overrides me, but I try to do the Lord’s work.) And people look at me rudely and make fun of me behind my back when I try to tell them about the Lord. I don’t bother them when they are on break, only when they are at their desks, working, do i don’t see why they are so hostile. I also think it’s hypocritical for me to be penalized for talking about my religion when they are allowed to put whatever bumper stickers they want on their cars.
What is the most effective way for me to blame being passed over for the promotion the liberals?
Good Christian American Laborer

“An increasing number of recent letters and e-mails from readers strike a note, not only of unhappiness with the way things are going in our society, but of despair.”
Gosh, that’s weird. I wonder what happened within the last, (checks calender) ~34 days that so made them realize how miserable they are?
“Those of us who are pessimists are only a step away from despair ourselves, ”

“It took only two nuclear bombs to get Japan to surrender”
Uhhh… there was a bit more to it then that. Like, Japan had no more food or resources, or any ability to launch any defensive campaign, much less an offensive campaign (See: IJN Yamato). This is roughly equivalent to saying, “All it took was that one field goal 15 seconds before the end of the game for us to lose,” after your team lost 82-3.
It’s really fucking dumb, I guess is what I’m trying to say.

As opposed to G. W(orst) Bush, who need someone talking in his ear to tell him what to say at press conferences?
Yes, the same Bush who would streeeeeeetch out a word w/ more than three syllables, or a Latin origin, or anything complicated, sounding out every syllable like the dyslexic retard he was, & then smirk, as if to say, lookie how smart I is, I done pronounced that big word.
The only reason Bush didn’t use a TelePrompTer® was that he couldn’t read.
B. O. can talk & think rings around W(orst), ‘Prompter or not.
I would talk rings around Obama.
WTF?!?
That’s the Sowell closing ‘graf? Abandon hope – it’s the only chance we got. Did I read that right? Fucking Bulleits and their smooth drinking salty bourbon – make me fucking try to understand this Sowell fellow. I recant my recanting – it’s fucking Makers Mark from here on out.
Oh wait – I forgot the first part, the one about having to respond before we get nuked and hve to surrender since we have been ignoring our Shakespeare. So – our only hope is that everyone becomes a freaking paranoid nutjob and we all simultaneously wet our pants, thus causing our enemies to give up the fight. A BRILLIANT PLAN!!!
I would talk rings around Obama.
If you weren’t still dead, that is.
If you weren’t still dead, that is.
I believe that’s my job!
They wouldn’t have elected Jindal if he hadn’t decided to call himself “Bobby” (Apparently after one of the little shits on “The Brady Bunch”) instead of going w/ his birth name, Piyush.
So let’s get it started right now: If he runs under a name other than that on his birth surf-i-ticket, can he be elected President?
P. S.: Does anyone know if Jindal’s the same kind of bizarre Catholic that Dinesh D’Souza is?
This is funny:
Joe the Plumber exposed somebody else’s rhetorical weakness.
I would talk rings around Obama.
After all, I was an actor.
P. S.: Does anyone know if Jindal’s the same kind of bizarre Catholic that Dinesh D’Souza is?
I don’t know if this answers your question, but in my mind, they’re all bizarre.
So, surfing away from that Sowell crap, I decided to turn the Corner – and came across this. It’s Obingo! You get a dauber blob for every talking point you hear – because Obama’s just an empty suit that reads pre-canned telepormpter whatnots and blar-har-heh-indeedy. How many canned lines could the wingnuttosphere come up with?
Four.
Fucking l00zors. I can fucking think of four canned phrases for just about any-fucking-body and yet that’s all they got against Hussein X the Anti-Christ. Barry the Bringer of Commie-Socialist-Marxism. They could’ve at least added a “Death to America” square.
PRO-TIP for Iain Murray – the bingo trope only works if you can come up with twenty-four at-least-slightly-amusing doodads to stick into the card. You can make the center square a “Free Square” with a picture of Joe Biden riding a train of Porkulus monies to a giant marsh mouse.
After all, I was an actor.
Zombie Reagan always forgets his lines.
I would talk rings around Obama.
With things I might even have sincerely imagined were true, like my “combat service” in WWII or welfare queens in their Cadillacs.
The best thing about brain damage is having no regrets.
Isn’t Iain Murray on the chopping block when it comes to wingnut welfare? I mean, his shtick is global warming denialism, right? And at this point even fucking oil company petroleum geologists aren’t playing that game anymore. But no one told the Corner apparently…
The best thing about brain damage is having no regrets.
This is the best line in a while from this board.
They wouldn’t have elected Jindal if he hadn’t decided to call himself “Bobby” (Apparently after one of the little shits on “The Brady Bunch”) instead of going w/ his birth name, Piyush.
Will his campaign team be conducting Piyush polls? Inquiring exorcists want too know.
Bwahahhahahhhhahaha. The fucking learning disability folks are whining about teleprompters now – after the most fucking scripted administration EVAH- including the fake ones on various television seriesesses.
Bush of the Photo-Op, the Administration of the rolled-up sleeves? A president that was fucking surprised as fuck when he was forced to deal with a non-screened audience? BWAHAHAHAHAAAAHHAHA.
P.S. I apologize to people with learning disabilities for the comparison.
Well, yes, they are are crazy as a one-eyed cat in a six-legged octopus store, but apparently D’Souza (A descendant of colonial rape, as his Portugee surname would suggest) practices some odder form, perhaps a craziness due to the yrs. in the colonies.
Wikipoopia suggests Jindal simply converted to Catholicism. It also indicates he gave up potential careers in medicine or the law to be a politician. (So in Louisiana, you simply begin your career as a lying hypocrite by adopting the popular religion, casting off the faith of your fathers in a naked grab for power.)
My gawd, how can we elect him? We don’t know who he is!! Is he a stealth Hindoo, here to impose liberal vegetarian fascism on us all?
Both of his parents were dirty foreigners. WHO TAUGHT PIYUSH JINDAL TO LOVE AMERICA?
Hindoo you say. Invisible Pink Unicorn, deliver us from this terror with your unseeable pinkness – cripes even the musselmans believe in only one God. One with only two arms and no animal heads atop their shoulders.
anybody else watching B. Hussein X unfold his diabolical plan for a jihadal Sharia socialist USA?
I’m going to hop in completely off topic:
Is anyone interested in a Boston Sadlyfest some time in March? Let me know, so I know if it’s worth organizing…
Veganofascism sneaks in on little elephant feet.
“Consider only the leading names — Sarah Palin, Eric Cantor, John Boehner, Bobby Jindal. A greater distinction from the nonentities of the 1930s GOP can scarcely be imagined.”
yeah, those will all be household names in 60 years.
But Zombie Bonzo still knocks ’em down in one take.
That’s one fuckin’ professional dead chimp.
Attention, S. Crower fans. S. Crowder seeks brainstorm on responding to “cyber-terrorism.” He is not referring to this.
Oops, I left a “d” off the last name the first time around. I was distracted by Obama’s prepared text. A prepared text! I can’t believe it.
He is going to cure cancer too? OMG IS THERE ANYTHING OUR OBAMAMESSIAH CANT DO?
Why are schools any of the President’s business to begin with? It isn’t a federal concern.
MzN, I ‘m not watching, but I hear it from the corner of my ear. I will admit he is the first Prez who does not make me reach for the remote since, well, Kennedy, & there were hardly any remotes then & my fascist parents didn’t even have a telebision.
What was that about high school girls?
Reminds me of “Count your blessings, Todd. At least you have a spine.” But the leukemia reference is just as good.
I was just sitting here watching the non-state of the union and realized that my wallet just disappeared!
My gawd, how can we elect him? We don’t know who he is!! Is he a stealth Hindoo, here to impose liberal vegetarian fascism on us all?
Both of his parents were dirty foreigners. WHO TAUGHT PIYUSH JINDAL TO LOVE AMERICA?
I demand to see Bobby Jindal’s birth certificate? How are we to know he wasn’t secretly born in the Punjab?
I already raised taxes on those making less than $250,000 by increasing the cigarette tax. Whoops!
I think if our little trolls want to make a gesture of protest about Obama’s stimulus bill, they should return the tax breaks they’re going to get. Or give it to me, or M. Bouffant, or MzNicky. Or other liberals here.
Everyone who makes less than $250k smokes?
Me first, damnit!! Age before beauty! (Are we three the only liberals here?)

A lot of us make less than $250k, and our taxes have been increased.
If you don’t mind me interrupting your little troll-fucking fest here (and Jesus, could someone at least MOP once in a while?):
Hooray for easing regulations on corporations!
yeah, those will all be household names in 60 years.
Now, now. A good punchline, like a diamond, is forever.
Well, the only real liberals here?
Smoking is more common among those of us w/ lower or no income. And the less-educated. Which is me.
You may quit choosing to pay that tax at any time, butt head.
our share of miraculous deliverances
Come on. It wasn’t that good a movie.
he covered his lack of direct knowledge by filibustering
I miss the good old days when the word “filibuster” still had a meaning.
That wasn’t to M. Bouffant, but to Trolly McTrollerson.
“Are we three the only liberals here?”
The rest of us are all your sockpuppets.
From the chilling story Brandi linked to:
The bad news for the GOP: Dushyant Patel is practically an anagram of Piyush Jindal (at least if you were home-schooled by wingnuts.)
The good news for the GOP: Folks with permanent brain damage are far more likely to vote Republican.
So what? It’s still a tax. BHO was dishonest there.
And GERMANY not AMERICA invented the automobile. What an idiot!
Do you think the clown who wrote that is in favor of the oh so fair to the lower incomed “Flart Tax?”
I’d just bet he is, if he’s having continual fits about taxation, & wasn’t just repeating what the carrier pigeon brought him from RNC HQ.
No, no, it’s like the word “Smurf” for the Smurfs; it has many, many meanings extending to several parts of speech.
So what? It’s still a tax.
Switch to reefer. No tax on that yet. And it might even improve your vile mood.
What a terrible speech. BHO is a joke as a President. Just another Carter.
Flart Tax
Surely you meant Blart tax.
You may quit choosing to pay that tax at any time, butt head.
Tell that to all the people who’ve quit boozing & drugging for 20+ yrs., but still can’t make it at the AA meeting w/o coffee & cigs., beavis.
Obama has just set the GOP up to fall flat on its face- over a thousand-foot cliff. Let’s see if Jindal trips!
Where you this mad after El Chimpo defined a sovereign nation like this: “A sovereign nation is a nation that is…uhh…ummm….. that is sovereign!”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What a terrible speech. BHO is a joke as a President. Just another Carter.
What a compelling, persuasive argument. There may be a place for you on my staff. (How are you at clandestine drug deals in parking lots?)
Yeah, after all, the Israelis have never attacked the US, one of their biggest allies… Ooops
To paraphrase: “…You’re the vulgarian, you shitbag…”
You mean how like Carter was saddled with the economic messes created by Nixon/Ford policies?
Yes, very similar to the clusterfuck that Malcolm Hussein Obamafascist X inherited from Chimpo.
Nixon and Ford were flaming libs in domestic policy, you libs should have loved them.
Nixon was the one who said “we’re all Keyensians now” and Ford was even pro-abort.
Is too a tax on reefer, the tax of illegality. Shouldn’t cost anymore than ‘backy, even w/ big ‘backy taxes. Maybe even less, as I’m not fully up on “How Tobacco Becomes A Smoke.” Course if you buy it manicured there’s a certain amount of manual labor added.
You’re just another stupid repig. Ford’s official policy to fight the inflation that Nixon created was to have everybody wear pins.
Yes, that was his OFFICIAL policy.
Now fuck off, you ignoramous. You’re a repig – don’t you have some drugs to score or some airport bathroom stalls to cruise?
Nixon made inflation worse by continuing Johnson’s big spending policies.
Nixon and Ford were LIBERALS when it came to domestic policy. Why do you think Reagan challeneged Ford after all?
Course if you buy it manicured there’s a certain amount of manual labor added.
Lee Press-On Blunts?
morons psychopaths and mental defectives
We’d hear it from the people of the town
They’d call us morons psychopaths and mental defectives
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down…
Needs work.
I don’t actually have any feelings about the tax either way, MB, just about trolls who try to muddle a sin tax increase into an income tax increase.
John McCain said,
Tomorrow we will take a huge nosedive
Repeated without comment but with lots of coarse, easily-amused chortling.
I’m gonna show you how it’s done!
Bobby Jindal is very very weird and will never be president.
Cher dated alla those.
Bobby Jindal changed my life.
On economic policy Nixon was a free silver-like nutcase, and on his tax policies he was running straight from the “run up the deficit” repig playbook.
And raygun ran because Nancy was a power-mad harpy who wanted to be in the White House. Her legendary (yes, google it) blowjobs kept old Altzenheimer Ronnie happy.
Did Bobby Jindal just complain about the handling of Katrina?
So…..Bobby Jindal agrees that the Bush Administration’s response to Katrina was shitty?
You know, he’s a nice sounding young man, but he sounds like he’s reading a script. He’s got this sort of canned earnest sound like the guy on AM radio in those “Character Counts” segments.
Bobby Jindal just questioned the purpose of monitoring volcanoes.
Maybe he thinks we can stop eruptions with a volcano exorcism?

Smut Clyde: Perhaps to the tune of “Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows”?

That’s what we get at Sadly,No! when it’s a troll-fest
Dumber than a sack of hammers
when they’re near the snark just disappears, dear
Wish they’d slit their wrists
Why oh why do they exist?
Or something similar.
That was downright Gore-y.
What, no one was here to listen to Barry X with me, but now it’s all Jindal?
I hope Jindal ends his response by showing his cans for some beads.
“Some people got a life,” he typed back, squinting to find the letters on the worn and grimy keyboard.
All Democrat losers supple form me.
Supple form?
Piyush just said Republicans are willing to work w/ Democrats.
Then he says after Katrina Americans were aware of how the gov’t. doesn’t help. Which kind of gov’t. was that? Oh, right, gov’t. by Arabian Horse owners.
This is the hope of the Republican Party? Reagan recycled? “Americans can do anything!”
Then we get the “medical care should be between a patient & doctor, no gov’t. bureaucrats.” Private bureaucrats who don’t want to cut into corporate profits don’t get a mention, however.
Stupid, lying ignoramus.
Not from Piyush, but a quote from Big Ho:
We’d have to give it the most successful FAIL ever right now.
Gov’t. Tit, she drunk.
I just heard David Brooks talk about the GOP using terms like “nihilism” and “insane.”
Oh sorry Bobby. Have fun on your trip down. Mind the sudden stop!
Apparently they admire the supple form of the government tit.
That was pretty funny.
Are you talking about Jindal’s cans?
Hmm, maybe Cornyn would be better nominee than Jindal.
Why do you think Reagan challeneged Ford [sic] after all?
Because that bitch Nancy wanted to be the Queen of America, & she had St. Ronnie’s nose so wide open she must’ve used a crowbar. Seriously, she must have been the first woman to provide satisfactory oral sex to the dunce, & he was her slave from then on.
Ronald Reagan saved us from Communism and won the Cold War. You should be more grateful, or we would still have the Soviet menace to this day.
Jeez, Lipstck/Repig seems to have offered Google proof, & I was merely assuming/extrapolating (About the blowjobs.)
Is that why Sinatra was rumored to have had an affair w/ her? She can’t be more than a 90-min. walk from me, maybe I’ll go check her out. She may be able to remove her teef now too!
Ronald Reagan saved us from Communism and won the Cold War.
Only in “Hellcats of the Navy.”
“Nancy Reagan sucks” is NOT meant as an insult.
If we had to trade the weakened continued existence of a Soviet Union under glasnost for having our World Trade Centers still standing because we hadn’t hired and built and protected an army of fundamentalist Muslim warlord drug trafficking terrorists, would you? I would.
This is the hope of the Republican Party? Reagan recycled? “Americans can do anything!”
yeah, apparently anything except help after a hurricane. That is, when Republicans are in the White House.
Her legendary (yes, google it) blowjobs…
Uh, why?
Sowell thinks Americans are a bunch of depraved soft-spined defeatist fools eager to capitulate to terrorists … & I’m sure he’s quite a hit at parties too.
Umm, isn’t the pornographic payscale of CEOs itself a major part of that whole “moral corrosions” thingy? As for sponsors of TERROR-JISM, well, terrorists aren’t much sponsored by nations anymore – it’s more a fraud-crime-&-fundraising kind of deal … but the US is no slouch in that department either, from what I’ve read. If Iran DOES get a nuke, it’s 50/50 that some enterprising neocon fuckface/s will have sold them the means to do it. Poetic irony at its finest.
Shit, MISTER ED would be a better nom than Jindal. “Better than Bobby ‘I Cast Thee Out, Lucifer!’ Jindal” isn’t exactly shooting for the bloody moon, is it now? An end-table would be better.
The only other alternative with any widespread public recognition is – ha ha ha, heh heh heh, ho ho ho, hee hee hee – the voice of reason herself, Sarahcuda … assuming she can keep her ass out of jail that long, I mean.
Sorry – this guy is Obama-Lite.
Obama Lite?
How about “Fat Free, Sugar Free, Taste Free, Substance Free, Obama Free Moron Tots”?
