Link goes to a story about a “Democrat Judge” who liked to spank prisoners..

?? Must change that.

Why? More interesting than the actual topic.

[Fixed.]

Outrageous! Our Precious Daddy Country only spends as much on the military as all of the rest of the world combined! The Obamanation will leave us defenseless and prostrate before the foreign hoards who even now mass at our sacred borders!

Pentagon = Troops.

“Sproing.”

You used a Muirism.

Pentagon = Troops.
In the entire history of the armed forces of all nations, has there ever been a headline like “Troop salaries massively over budget; exceed cost estimates by 42%”?

This wll certainly upset the pro-waste and pro-corruption constituencies.

What’s all this about foreigners hoarding prostates?

I’m a supported of prostates’ rights.

Supporter, too.

I started James Morrow’s book The Philosopher’s Apprentice this morning and misread one philosopher’s specialization as prostational theoloy. What’s written is postrational but I misread it five or six times before becoming aware of it.

I swear to nonexistent god, this happened. Not to knock James Morrow but I like my reading better,

erm, theology.

I hate taxation almost as much as I hate uppity presidents.

Prostrational theology works too.

I love having my prostrate tickled.

Preferably by another man. NOT by my fat wife.

Eh? is Eh?.

Now, I know that part of the shtick around here is posting funny wingnut pictures, sometimes in hats.

But is there a non-dorky picture of this guy? Hell, even I have a couple of decent pictures, and I’m a friggin zombie.

Bernie Sanders and William Hartung at the liberal politico:

The Pentagon’s procurement and budgeting processes are rife with problems. For example, the Government Accountability Office has identified $295 billion in cost overruns on 72 major weapons systems, even as the Pentagon can’t balance its books or keep track of its vast inventory. These problems can lead to bizarre results, such as the fact that the Pentagon has hundreds of millions of dollars in spare parts now on order that are already marked for disposal. Despite huge cost overruns, major contractors have received $8 billion in performance bonuses that have been paid out regardless of the results of their work.

Cuz, you know that liberal John McCain is behind it too. Sez Reuters:

The bill builds on past legislative efforts by Levin, McCain and other lawmakers to reform the acquisition process, but it comes at a time when the financial crisis is putting additional pressure on the Pentagon’s budget.

“The financial crisis has proven to be a really interesting forcing function,” said one congressional aide, who asked not to be named. “There just isn’t as much money to go around.”

Fundamental changes were needed to get a grip on systemic problems plaguing Pentagon procurement, said the aide, adding, “Otherwise you’re just rearranging the chairs on the Titanic.”

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN TROOPS!?!

Prostrational theology works too.
For some reason that flashes me back to Skafish singing ‘Sign of the Cross’.

Are Meghan McCain and Aaron Schock married already? Wow, that was quick!

295 billion in cost overruns regarding 72 weapons systems = Democrats won’t buy the troops bandaids in Wingnuttia.

Well, it’s a Tuesday, after all.

“The Weapon System Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 is an important step in efforts to reform the defense acquisition process,” said Senator John McCain. “This legislation is needed to focus acquisition and procurement on emphasizing systems engineering; more effective upfront planning and management of technology risk; and growing the acquisition workforce to meet program objectives.

Senator McCain continued, “While I am pleased to be introducing this legislation with Chairman Levin, we certainly must do more. The primary responsibility to reform the process falls on the Department of Defense. No amount of legislation can substitute for a true commitment to acquisition reform within the Pentagon.”

A Senator McCain press release (2/24/09).

So let me see…we have a major budget crisis, the weak-kneed pantywaists in the Republican party are screaming “DEFICITS! DEFICITS!” but try to pare a penny from the single largest budget outlay, and watch them go, “Nooooooooooo! Spend more!”

Does that sum up GrapeApe Pundit?

We love weapons systems, especially imagining in graphic detail what all those bombs do to brown people.

But, we hate taxation. We want our beloved weapon systems to go on a credit card, to be paid for by our children whom we love so much (unlike those abortion-loving DEMONcrats)

prostational theology

Every hole is holy.

has anyone seen my loofa?

Pro-stational theology? Here are the Stations of the Cross as acted out by 44-gallon oil drums.
Bob Gauldie is a NZ artist / scientist. I am not making this up.

Here are the Stations of the Cross as acted out by 44-gallon oil drums.

It really brings the human drama home.

OT: Oh my.

John Wood survived the Virginia Tech Massacre, but his girlfriend and 31 other Virginia Tech students did not survive the bloody rampage of Seung-Hui Cho.

Now a graduate student at the University of Texas, Woods seeks to make sure students in other universities remain unarmed targets, like his dead girlfriend

…

John Woods, like many other school shooting victims through the years, lacked the courage of Jacob Ryker to attack the man who would be his executioner. He instead played dead while his friends were being gunned down around him.

In his shame, Woods would like to pretend that there was nothing he could have done to prevent the death of his girlfriend or the other students and faculty members who died at Virginia Tech. He froze and failed to act, and so—projecting so clearly that any armchair psychologist must make the obvious diagnosis—he now finds it convenient to declare any other outcome “impossible” because that denial helps him to cope with his inaction.

Yeesh. Stay classy, Bob Owens.

Here are the Stations of the Cross as acted out by 44-gallon oil drums.

“Jesus Christ was black red.“

Note to Wingnuts: STFU with the ACORN bullshit. Nobody outside of a lockdown ward is buying it.

Jesus as oil drum. Interesting concept.

Y’know, it’s funny.

Ask Bobbo to pay an extra five cents on the dollar in taxes to help his fellow man, and Bob would go “TOO HIGH A PRICE!”

Ask Bobbo if someone else should have stood up and distracted a gunman so others might get away, and Bobbo’s all “small price to pay” and shit…

DNN, I’m sure Owens is fully aware that Seung-Hui Cho was a churchgoing Christian raised by churchgoing Christians, right?

Here are the Stations of the Cross as acted out by 44-gallon oil drums.

Try as I might, I could not find ANY of Bach’s Passions performed on steel drums.

Teh Great Gazoogle reveals no shortage of steel-drum performances of Bach (esp. Prelude in G) — but not the Passions.
The Coffee Cantata would be good, too.

Dammit, no steel drum performances of Haydn’s “Seven Last Words” or Dupré’s “Chemin de la Croix,” either! Not even a “Messiah,” for $diety’s sake! What a world, what a world.

Does the thought of a Robert Crumb version of Genesis provide any consolation?

Nothing about Robert Crumb has provided consolation to anyone, ever.

Doesn’t anyone have the common courage to defend Bob Owens’ holy and patriotic grill from Islamofascist winds?

projecting so clearly that any armchair psychologist must make the obvious diagnosis

Amazing the CrankYankee could write that without a resulting universe-shattering irony implosion.

I hope to God that one day this Owens finds himself in the same situation as the man he so easily calls a coward. And since he probably never will, in the meantime, he can go fuck himself up the nose with his own rifle-cleaning equipment.

I did find Beethoven’s Bagatelle, Tig

I hope to God that one day this Owens finds himself in the same situation as the man he so easily calls a coward. And since he probably never will, in the meantime, he can go fuck himself up the nose with his own rifle-cleaning equipment.

I pray he never does, frankly, because he’d be just stupid enough to have a gun and in the inevitable panic, reach for it, misfire and kill six hostages.

The World Association of Psychobabbling Pop Analysts has not accepted Owens’ application for membership.

Still, it’s a useful principle… if you are using an extreme, life-threatening event to justify (a) your policy suggestions and (b) your fantasies about your own likely heroism in that situation, but someone with first-hand experience happens to disagree, then what does he know about it??

I look forward to Owens’ forthcoming monograph on “The Role of Projection Mechanisms in the Cowardice of the War Poets”.

Remember James Brady? What a loser!

Remember James Brady? What a loser!

Brady, hell! Why didn’t Reagan haul out his manly piece and blow Hinckley away? You know, with the steely-eyed resolve and all that?

I like Jesus as an oil drum. Middle east connection and all that

WAPPA will accept Bob Owen’s application if he ever gets around to finishing it.

Sounds like onomatopoeia to me.

But I’m a bitterfuck…

No, Xecky, it was the laser beam eyes! Get it right!

You’re a tough customer, mikey.

How about the fuel girls?

And if that doesn’t float your boat, here’s a Republican congresscritter wannabe who hates Mexicans. (She’s from Puerto Rico, ya see.)

And if none of that does it, Chupacabra!

Sounds like onomatopoeia to me.
Owens may have more luck with a rival organisation, the Federated Associations of Psychobabbling Pop Analysts.
I would call it an astroturf operation consisting of right-wing hacks, but I’m biassed

For those just joining us, we’re talking about how Glenn Reynolds has proven yet again that wingnuts don’t really care about governing; they just like having as many ways to blow shit up as possible.

I’ve been trying to post at Confederate Wankee about how I hope they really get in a situation like this and they end up shooting themselves in their urine-stained crotches, but I keep getting an announcement that they’re not accepting comments “because of high levels of spam.”

I’ll bet.

“Brady, hell! Why didn’t Reagan haul out his manly piece and blow Hinckley away? You know, with the steely-eyed resolve and all that?”

Don’t forget, Brady and Reagan were surrounded by highly trained well armed men. A fat kid with a .22 took them both down.

Bob Owens down in the Duke-UNC-NCSU triangle and Mike Adams with his .357 over at UNC-Wilmington, covering the campuses of the tar heel state with a warm blanket of security, in contrast to the cowards in Blacksburg.

ANY cuts to the Porkagon are by definition “painful” in that they might interfere with its senior satraps’ inherent right to wipe themselves with fifties & light their (illegal Cuban) cigars with hundreds as they pound down some Dom Perignon to wash away another gourmet “business lunch” & shed crocodile tears for all the proles newly rendered desperate enough to swell the ranks of the poverty draft.

“Oh, how sad … looks like we’re about to get a lot more recruits.”

Then they giggle like giddy sophomores & play with their pearl-handled, platinum-plated pistols.

After reading the link & the comments to it, I almost trolled that place – then realized that it was a mere typing exercise. One might just as well be lecturing to dust-bunnies.

The comments are like a time-machine permanently jammed on 1985 … with the role of “Diabolical Bolshevik” being played by Sheik Khalid Mohammed. All it takes to get my gorge a-rising is the thought that these are actual adults.

Ewwwww. Tums, please!

WAPPA will accept Bob Owen’s application

It would work better if it was “FAPPA” somehow.

Didn’t re-ad the thre-ad! Didn’t re-ad the thre-ad!

Argh!

Sorry, Smutty. I was busy and didn’t scan up…
