BREAKING BORKED! BREAKING BONKING!
MUST [DIS]CREDIT PAM!

 


Knock-knock, ding-dong. Hi, may I help you? Oh, it’s Pam of Atlas Shrugs, relatively fresh from our making fun of her about the Nazi thing.

Key Witness in Presidential Passport Tampering Case Murdered in 2008, No Arrests

OMG, they are killing people.

Oh no! Not people! That’s what many of our friends are!

Do you remember this curious story during the Presidential election? A couple of months before rumblings began about Obama’s birth circumstances and the discovery that BHO’s COLB (certification of live birth) was a forgery, a story broke in late March 2008 that State Department employees had tampered with the passport files of Barack Obama

This is true for a definition of “[to] tamper” that means “to look at a picture of,” and for a definition of “discovery” like if the Discovery Channel were full of people yelling hysterically about the Skeleton People chasing them on pogo sticks.

And note the phrase, “Obama’s birth circumstances.” It’s like the new, respectable way to mention his birth certificate — for a definition of ‘mention’ that means to step on a glue trap and run flapping around the house arguing with it.

As to us, we are becoming interested in Obama’s birth circumference.

We would like information on his birth circus dances, on the cirque and scision. We would like to see his stiffy kit.

At the time “State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the violations of McCain and Clinton’s passport files were not discovered until Friday, after officials were made aware of the unauthorized access of…

Let’s skip the next twenty-five or so lines where she blows the lid off what now appears to be an integrated Pakistan Ayers Sex Tour Passport Birth Certificate Conspiracy — if that’s the lid that was flipping when we scanned ahead — to see what she’s talking about with the killing and the people and the thing.

UPDATE: This article is from April 2008 (thanks Slimguy) but I was unaware of the murder. I am just seeing the story. Needless to say – there have been no arrests a year later in this case.

Key witness in passport fraud case fatally shot Washington Times

So he fatally shot the Washington Times. No, okay, so the story was published a year ago, and Pam didn’t notice the date when she launched into…a post whose title says ‘2008’? Because in 2008, Condoleezza Rice was Secretary of State? As in, the one who heads up the State Department? With the passports and the visas and the you-know?

Apparently, it’s still Schmuckuary in Ronkonkamonkama. That’s the thirteenth month of varying length in which people ease into the new year by dating their checks in the safe and tested manner of the previous one. For instance, today is April 22nd, 2008, or the 112th day of Schmuckuary. Ronkonkamonkama is a Long Island town in which people go to the maul.

The bat-mitzvahed Ronka-konkans weah shawt-shawts and carry a pockabook,1 and of a weekend or a Thursday will gowau ta nikelubs with their swains, young Italian gentlemen in the aspirational Billy Joel sense, having embraced the local version of the funk by trading their gold Star of David bling for those lucky-horn necklaces that the genuine local Italians, with the smaller houses and cooler cars, now regard as some kind of ancient Jewish symbol. A shoal of cutthroat Yuppies roils around them, supporting Thai and recently Vietnamese restaurants (Cambodian/Laotian was gunna be nex if the economy hadden ganunda2), but allowing all the good pizza places to close. Rootfully underneath lies a slightly too warm or cold layer of current and future retirees with aching feet who can’t stand that guy on the TV, what’s his name. Ronkonkamonkama is real, yet never all in one place at once.3 Some say it is inside us, ‘us’ in this case meaning not ourselves specifically, but more like Pam and a lot of other Pams, with their terrier dwogs and their joolery.

Also, it should pique suspicion that it’s a Washington Times story. Also, it has already rattled around the block several times on an old skateboard with rusty metal wheels. Also, it is a recent addition to the notoriously laffy-daffy Obama Body Count. Also, the passport files of John McCain and Hillary Clinton were improperly accessed. Also:

  1. The dead guy, whose name was actually Leiutenant Quarles Harris, Jr. (spelled as shown), was supposed to be testifying against some people allegedly involved in a different incident.
  2. Welp, I guess that’s that.

Yes, mistakes happen to us all. O hai, Debbie Schlussel:

So much for Obama’s faux “openness.” Why was Lt. Quarles Harris gunned down? What did he know about possible Obama friends in the State Department illegally accessing passport information of opponents?

Wow, that post didn’t stay up long. O hai, Free Republic. To the Freepers, the fact that the story is a year old is highly suspicious, and they hypothesize as to whether it was intentionally misdated or suppressed for a year then retroactively planted back in the record. They notice that there is a a wine called Quarles Harris, and find this highly suspicious:

Either the vintner is non-existent and the listing is a means to pass coded data, or the Lt. is an alias. Perhaps Harris is now relocated to a convenient address and new name so Obamaicde cannot be done on him in exchange for further data forthcoming. One thing is sure, we the people will never know the full truth.

Since it is agreed to fit the profile of an Obamurder, reason suggests that while Obama’s spooks were altering or concealing the incriminating passport data, they would have engineered the credit card scam to help finance Obama’s campaign. The Freepers dig up a photo, discover that Harris was black, and quite reasonably wonder if he was an ACORN agent. A memorial with teddy bears is found suspicious. Court documents are produced and found suspicious. And so on:

Barry’s supposed gay lover in Chicago was also shot near a church, wasn’t he?

Um, maybe.

But that’s odd, through the trees over there, with that wig rising vertically and then descending after a full rotation on the X axis, accompanied by the sound of a slide whistle and then a kettle drum. Yes, that, over there. Look, it just did it again.

OMG, Pam hasn’t even slowed down:

Oil of Immigration goes one step further:

Comment: See my article about General Dynamics – the company used by the Obama campaign to tamper the passport. Tom Ayers (Bill Ayer’s Father) was on the board of General Dynamics. Also, right after Obama Usurped Office, GD was contracted to improve the security of the Passport system.

[…]

Gets better ……….Tom Ayers served on board of General Dynamics. General Dynamics now wants “hackers” to work for the Government hat tip Denice

Wanted: Computer hackers … to help government (snippet below):

Federal authorities aren’t looking to prosecute them, but to pay them to secure the nation’s networks. General Dynamics Information Technology put out an ad last month on behalf of the Homeland Security Department seeking someone who could “think like the bad guy.” Applicants, it said, must understand hackers’ tools and tactics and be able to analyze Internet traffic and identify vulnerabilities in the federal systems.

Tom Ayers, father of Obama friend, communist and unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, served on the General Dynamics Board. As head of the corporation’s finance committee, Northern Trust was the trustee of the corporation’s Salaried Savings Plan and the Hourly Savings Plan that was overseen by the committee along with fellow members Lester Crown whose son, Jim, and daughter-in-law, Paula, are $200,000 bundlers for Obama’s presidential campaign.

Northern Trust Bank is also the same bank that gave Obama his below prime rate home loan for his current mansion.

Many believe General Dynamics was also involved in the “security breach” or tampering with the Obama Passport before the election.

Just after the election, the State Dept. awarded the same company that breached…

Well, we can be sure of one thing. By the time we figure out what Pam is talking about, there’ll be some new Obamacide scandal busting out all over the WingNet. And no, yes, in fact, there was one earlier today, and see that post below, and by the time we figure that one out, it’ll be time for a right-wing lunatic to gun down some cops or parishioners again. The pace, it wears one out.


Notes:

1 From a prewar fashion in which young women carried books as a display of urban sophistication, generally slim volumes of poetry, generally of a cleverly mordant tone. After a time the books entered purses, then departed them again leaving the purses as the main accessory, and so they remain. Poems were often read aloud by these prewar ‘friends of Dorothy,’ as so:

2 An inflected form of the verb, tugga wunda (to fail). In 1918, the cruiser USS San Diego was sunk off the south shore of the mainland of Log Guylin, or the Blessed Continent, by a German U-boat. A survivor from the Guylian village of Mineoleolea was recorded by the Smithsonian in the 1930s, and provides examples of this word’s many forms.

The sailor said that there was a fricken kaboom, an explosion, and boom, without delay, the cruiser stattada gawunda, was beginning to be failing. The sailors called to each other, “Wegunnaga wunda, wegunnaga wunda,” “As to ourselves, be alert to an unavoidable failure,” and as soon as the lifeboats had been released, boom, he looked back and the ship had lost all success at floating, ittid ganunda. “Wenunda,” he finished. “Failed.”

Popular on Guylian websites are photos of mishaps, especially involving ironic surprises or cats, marked with the verb’s imperative form: “GAWUNDA!1”

And since, you know, General Dynamics is the same company responsible for the design of F-16 fighter jets, that means that terrorists have already infitrated the US military!!! Or something.

The…Bush state department…payed off GD for fixing Obama’s Passport?

Oh my God, oh my God, OMFG! Suddenly all has been revealed! Everything is crystal clear! Bush and Obama have been in cahoots this whole time--they’ve been running a two-man con on us all. They knew a happy, peaceful, proseperous United States would never accept communism. The only way to make Americans into socialists was for a series of disasters to make our capitalist system seem to be failing. To this end, they engaged in a decades-long conspiracy culminating in the “conservative” Bush becoming president and instigating one massive faiulure after another, ruining the reputation of the Republican party so that Obama could be swept into power to “fix” our country, while at the same time generating a sufficientlypliable citizenry and the requisite political capital, required to start America down the road to COMUNISM!!

this is Big people this is really Big!!! I need to let the Public know the truth, preferrably through poorly xeroxed pamplets handed out on street corners. If you don’t hear from me again it means the TRILATERaL COMMISHION or Kraft foods has eliminated me, in which case you should all go off the grid in a tarpaper shack in the ozarks with a stack of guns and wait for the stormtroopers to come and try to implant a computer chip in your forhead that cdhxkvKHK HKbvhk; bn bna l’bgl ml sjk llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

We’re finally seeing some comeuppance after 8 years of Republican/neocon impunity. But just remember, kiddies: Rome was neither built nor dismantled in a day.

 
 

Yes, that’s right. Obama was running the entire country before he was elected, the actual election was just a formality. He put faithful minion H. Clinton in charge of the SD so she could continue to tamper with his birth circumstances.

This one made me laugh way too hard for 7 am:

Perhaps Harris is now relocated to a convenient address and new name so Obamaicde cannot be done on him in exchange for further data forthcoming.

Yep, because if you want to hide from the guy who actually has an answer to “Yeah? You and whose army?” you keep your unusual name and stick it on the sign of a winery. At least that’s what they would do.

Barry’s supposed gay lover in Chicago was also shot near a church, wasn’t he?

“supposed gay”? Are they implying that Barack’s really a woman?

Oh wait – it was just a coupla blow jobs. Everybody knows that sucking another mans PENIS doesn’t make you gay.

Eat THIS, libtards!

WASHINGTON – For the first time in years, more Americans than not say the country is headed in the right direction, a sign that Barack Obama has used the first 100 days of his presidency to lift the public’s mood and inspire hopes for a brighter future… the percentage of Americans saying the country is headed in the right direction rose to 48 percent, up from 40 percent in February. Forty-four percent say the nation is on the wrong track. Not since January 2004, shortly after the capture of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, has an AP survey found more “right direction” than “wrong direction” respondents. The burst of optimism didn’t last long in 2004. And it doesn’t happen much.

See! Americans have rejected your Obamessiah… Wait…

 
 

you take the LIE.

Or the Looneyville Trolley.

 
 

I know this is kind of obvious and has been said before, but those people are crazy and stupid.

 
 

This is my favorite part:

“Many believe General Dynamics was also involved in the “security breach” or tampering with the Obama Passport before the election.”

“many believe” as in her and her little doggie foofoo.

This is getting good. Can someone pass me some butter? This microwave popcorn is dry as hell.

 
 

Link broken. Here, WE DON’T FUCKING TORTURE, maybe this will work.

 
 

I believe some people said that nothing would be funny after the inauguration? Ha ha, they were wrong. Except…this isn’t really funny. It’s just STOOPID. And pitiful. And many other mean words, like “totally wrong”.

 
 

“supposed gay”? Are they implying that Barack’s really a woman?

Well come on. You can accuse a man of murder, mayhem and all sorts of malfeasance, but saying he’s definitely gay would be slander.

 
 

Footnote Two in text needs a name change.

 
 

“many believe” as in her and her little doggie foofoo.

Her dog may be included, but if I’m remembering correctly from one of her brilliant vlogs, her dog is named after an Ayn Rand character. I’m not kidding.

 
 

I’m sad to see that the pelican gif did not make it into the Sadly, Sirens!

 
 

I love how the Death Lists always focus on such nobodies. The dude will kill the cousin of the sister of one of the regulars at the diner where Obama ordered orange juice during the campaign to get his vengeance on the diner. But for some reason, he lets Bohner and Limbaugh and Cheney keep breathing.

Ah kenga, not quite it.

I’ll take the pictures in today and try to get them scanned. As for another hint… I don’t think anyone got it in comment to the post with the first hint (unless they got there very late), and our boy’s nickname will likely be one that can be used as either a noun or a verb.

 
 

Oh, I should have seen this earlier: clearly, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank were involved in the secret murder / apparent suicide of the Freddie Mac CFO.

And, get this: Michelle Malkin was acting as the Voice of Slightly More Reason in trying to refrain the nutburst. Via the McClatchy News blog:

Just hours after the acting chief financial officer of mortgage giant Freddie Mac was found dead of an apparent suicide, websites are being flooded with accusations that he was killed.

“Obama and his Obama-bots had him killed,” said one comment posted to the Yahoo news site.

“What’s next?” said another, also popsted to the Yahoo site. “A plane crash, car accident, house fire, someone with a terminal disease dying at a convenient time? Oh wait, Obama already sacrificed Granny so she wouldn’t talk about the phone call from Kenya announcing his birth.”

Many suggest that key Democrats in Congress played a role in his death, naming Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.

Others suggest a link to the Clinton administration, drawing a connection to the suicide of former Clinton White House lawyer Vince Foster, which conspiracy theorists maintain was actually a murder despite several investigations confirming the suicide.

“The suspicious death of the CFO from Freddie Mac remind some of the Clinton years. Wouldn’t the new CFO be the guy unraveling the corruption of his predecessors? Is this another ‘apparent suicide’ by multiple shotgun blasts to the back of the head,” said a comment posted to the Fox News website.

“Just like the Clintons, there is political murder written all over this,” said another post to the Fox News site.

Blogger Michelle Malkin urged her readers Wednesday to stay away from the conspiracy theories about the death of David Kellerman, whose body was found in his suburban Washington home by his wife.

“Until the police or Kellerman family say more, I’d rather not listen to babbling about ‘econocide’ and Vince Foster paranoia,” Malkin wrote.

Most of her readers agreed. But the message didn’t get through to all.

“I have only one thing to say about this: Vince Foster,” said one comment.

“Do not rush to speculate about a conspiracy,” said another. “At the same time, do not dismiss the possibility that the socialists/statists/collectivists that are trying to destroy our country just might have taken care of a liability.”

Admittedly this appears to so far be a teabagger / blogreich set of choo choo points. But will it bubble its way up like “Whitewater”?

 
 

See! Americans have rejected your Obamessiah… Wait…

OK. I’ll wait to see if the trend continues over the coming months.
Ima guess next month’s results will be 53%, and June will be 58%.

But hey, Pammie, you just keep playing along, mmmmmmmmmmmmK? If you didn’t have those tits, you’d be Ann Coulter. You just keep believing that, OK?

Hm. I wonder…do you think Obama has set all this up, fed these folks these ridiculous talking points in order to cover up his hidden Muslimofascist agenda????

 
 

I have nothing funny to add here but somebody tell me who I have to impregnate around here to get a throw pillow embroidered with “Fuck all you smug wingnut assholes in Manhasset in your Polo shirts and your pants with the little anchors or lobsters on them.

And yet…and yet…these master projectionists, who accuse us of projecting our various foibles and follies onto them, were oddly silent when the dude who wrote Fortunate Son and who claimed to have the goods on stuff like W’s national guard records and DUIs, mysteriously died in a hotel room not long after W was appointed president. And likewise the Enron guy who had the goods on everyone who ended up dead in his car. Both of which didn’t provoke the left-wing blogosphere to start muttering darkly over “Bush death lists” and the like.

Which, when you think about it, is a good thing, since those lists unarguably already contain hundreds of thousands of names, courtesy of W’s war and torture regime. And also a good thing since it means we aren’t certifiable like they are.

So for future reference: mysterious death of person known to be a thorn in the side of a Republican administration and its associates, shortly after said administration takes office and has the full complement of federal power at its disposal = “move along, nothing to see here”, while easily explained death of persons tenuously connected through 6 degrees of separation and who offer no obvious threat to a Democratic administration and its associates, before said administration takes office = “OMG!1!!!11 Another Democratic crime lord president with a huge body count!!11!!”

The plan is to threaten Congress with a Convention if this doesn’t happen. The fear of a runaway convention will force them to pass it.

This is how we finally got the direct election of Senators, and it will be how the Federalism Amendment is finally enacted.

 
 

The Federalism Amendment said

Can I add something?

“No President shall ever be selected by a Supreme Court of the United States that his daddy had any influence over, including picking members, unless said decision is guaranteed to set a future precedent and said judges are held personally & financially liable for running the country into the ground.”

Now you have my vote.

QED

 
 

Damn you actor!!!1!11!! Damn you to hell!11

 
 

Why is this remind me of something that used to be said about the Clinton administration… Hmmm, Victor Forester? Vinny Foster? It will come back to me. But I’m pretty sure that Hillary killed him so Obama is probably using her to kill off anyone he needs offed. Go Hillary!!!

 
 

Watch these sick fucks run any inquest or autopsy information that shoots their “Obamacide” horseshit full of holes through their Ollie-North-approved shredders the moment it becomes public – can’t let those silly facts get in the way of a good story, after all.

A suicide note in his handwriting, a documented history of mental illness, a recent diagnosis of agonizing incurable disease – none of that would matter, because Obama is black Teh Antichrist, so of course killing people for him is like trimming toenails for you & me!

Wonder what Pammycakes had to say when it came out that Darth Cheney literally had fucking secret death-squads roaming the world on his behalf, offing anybody he didn’t like?

(crickets…)

 
 

Look, moron, offering an amendment to change the Constitution IS being strict constructionalist.

Sorry. No.

Strict construction requires a judge to apply the text only as it is written. Once the court has a clear meaning of the text, no further investigation is required. Judges should avoid drawing inferences from a statute or constitution and focus only on the text itself.

Since your *koffkoff* “amendment” deals with overruling Article IV of the original document, I suspect that “strict constuctionalism” is the LAST thing this is.

 
The Federalism Amendment
 

Your just scared because repealing the income tax would send a stake through the heart of the Federal Leviathin.

 
 

ZOMG!!! GD!!! THAT’s how they got the time machine! GD reconstructed it from the wreckage at Area 51. When Obama became CinC he used the military’s time machine to set everything up to make him Pres! The evil bastard is clever, I’ll give him that.

 
 

Leviathin

That’s the new diet Kirstie Alley is on.

 
 

Tom Ayers, father of Obama friend, communist and unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, served on the General Dynamics Board.

Is Pammypancakes quite sure the corporation isn’t Massive Dynamic? This plot sounds like it would be right up their alley.

 
 

Let me guess – the ones floating this new Amendment are the very same ones who, back in the 90s, were peeing themselves blue at the mere idea of a Congressional Convention because they were convinced TEH EEEVIL KKKLINTON was going to use it to repeal the 2nd Amendment and let the Vatican run our food industry and the UN would tattoo bar codes on everyone’s heads.

 
 

I had a time machine but I could only throw little stuffed piggies in it which caused all sorts of trouble until I got a piggie lodged in my brain.

Why don’t you make fun of Obama for saying he visited “57 states” or Biden for forgetting the “number” [sic] of the website he was in charge of? Hmm?

Try not to let your obvious mbarassment of voting for a Chicago thug interfere with your response (i.e., why aren’t we getting out of Iraq? Some “change”.)

In four years, you losers can redeem yourselves. By then, you may even find a real job and no longer be living in your parents basement waiting for government checks paid for by productive, adult citizens with real lives.

It’s worse better than I imagined. Not only did Joe Barton ask a st00pit™ question, he posted the video to youtube and twittered tweeted twatted to brag about it!

Salon sez it best:

Here’s a hint for you members of Congress out there hungry for camera time: If you ask what you think is a “gotcha” question of a Nobel Prize winner, and he starts laughing, it’s probably best just not to bother with that killer follow-up.

Unfortunately, Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, has yet to learn that lesson. In fact, he’s quite proud of himself for his questioning of Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997. After their exchange, he posted it to YouTube and Twittered, “I seemed to have baffled the Energy Sec with basic question – Where does oil come from?”

I’m happy I voted for Obama, a highly intelligent and effective leader who is successfully addressing a number of very serious problems facing my country at this time. That is why he also very popular with the both the electorate and the world.
As an attorney, I find the Federalist amendment to be amorphous and vague, very serious flaws for a constitutional document. These flaws are glaringly obvious when the amendment is compared with the existing constitution. This structural analysis is completely apart form the fact that the substantive effect of the amendment, if enacted, would be seriously deleterious to the fiscal and social welfare of the country. In fact, the essential substance of the amendment was tried before, as the Articles of Confederation, and ultimately rejected by the Founders.

Boy. Being compared with Mihkhael Gorbachev (anyone remember his patronymic, perchance? Actor212?) . The guy who brought democracy (of a sort) to the former Soviet Union, who released the European Soviet sattelites, who allowed the reunification of Germany, and who arguably did much more to pull the planet back from the brink of all-out thermonuclear war than Reagan ever did.

“So is Obama a tough Chicago thug or a weak appeaser incapable of standing up to the likes of Kim Jong Il?”

The answer is simple. Obama is a tough Chicago thug and a weak appeaser who trembles before the leaders of third world nations. His goal is to change America into a sharia-based, socialist, fascist, communist nation without borders that permits the aggressive interrogation of white people but prohibits the manufacture and consumption of nutritionally worthless fast foods that are high in salt, fat and sugar. After he nationalizes all the banks and corporations he will divide Texas into three states and Alaska into six, because he is furious that people make fun of him for saying “57 states” and he is determined to make reality conform to his misspeaking.

This is the problem with people without brains. They form opinions and then try to rearrange the facts to support those opinions. Inconsistencies abound.

Hmm. If Obama is Gorbachev, I guess that makes Bush, Brezhnev.

Among Brezhnev’s legacy to his successors was the December 1979 decision to intervene in Afghanistan, where a communist regime was struggling with the US-sponsored Muslim radicals and other forces to hold power. This decision was not taken by the Politburo, but by Brezhnev’s inner circle at an informal meeting. It led to the sudden end of the détente era, with the imposition of a grain embargo by the U.S., exacerbating the Soviet economic problems.

Maybe what The Federalism Amendment needs is a specially-dispatched crew of Canadian constitutional experts, ready, willing, and able to bore him to death in excruciatingly footnoted detail. He can have Brian Baloney as a freebie, too; we’re still trying to clean up the mess from that neocon waste of oxygen.

I mean, it’s entirely possible that the wingnuts think that turning Obama into the US’ Brian Mulroney would be a good idea, in that Mulroney pissed so many people off so badly, he caused his own political party’s extinction at the federal level. On the other hand, given that Mulroney is a corrupt, sleazoid neocon pustule who had avaricious dreams of vast rewards from his American corporate masters, and Obama’s a fairly clean centre-rightist who’s getting everything he wants from his American corporate masters, I’m kind of not seeing how Obama would get to Mulroneyism from here.

(Having been through this kind of thing twice now, I will say that it may take a damn long time for you folks to deBushify, being as we haven’t completely managed to deMulronify yet and it’s been 16 years. Be strong, guys.)

It was FDR’s even more massive federal spending on WWII that ended the Great Depression.

The recession actually continued after the war.

But 15 years of delayed consumerism, 10M horndog young men coming back home, immense oil finds in the mideast, and the rest of the (formerly) industrialized world lying in tatters if not ashes inaugurated a generational boom that only petered out in the 1970s.

Section 1: Congress shall have power to regulate or prohibit any activity between one state and another, or with foreign nations, provided that no regulation or prohibition shall infringe any enumerated or unenumerated right, privilege or immunity recognized by this Constitution.

First, if I understand this provision, Congress shall not have any authority to regulate (as any regulation is an infringement) any enumerated or unenumerated right, privilege or immunity recognized by Constitution. Therefore, as the First Amendment says, in relevant part, that “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, . . . ,“ this means Congress (and the states and their respective political subdivisions due to the incorporation doctrine) can make no law abridging the freedom of speech, the press or the right to peaceably assemble. All laws regulating speech, e.g., governing advertising, providing for the tort of defamation, child pornography or the classic “yelling fire in a crowded theatre” are now void. All laws regulating assembly, e.g., the right of people to assemble in front of the Republican convention to peacefully protest, are now void. All laws regarding publications by the press, e.g., the publication of the launch codes to our nuclear weapons, are now void.
Second, how about the remainder of the bill of rights? The 4th Amendment says that no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause. I guess this means no more warrantless searches or wiretaps.
Third, all of this also applies to any unenumerated right, privilege or immunity recognized by the Constitution. So who decides what are these “unenumerated rights?” After all, as they are not enumerated in the Constitution, it seems we need someone to tell us what they may be. However, it can’t be the courts, as the courts, under your approach, are not supposed to create or interpret, but only strictly construe and apply the law.

Section 2: Nothing in this article, or the eighth section of article I, shall be construed to authorize Congress to regulate or prohibit any activity that takes place wholly within a single state, regardless of its effects outside the state or whether it employs instrumentalities therefrom; but Congress may define and punish offenses constituting acts of war or violent insurrection against the United States.

So, if Company A produces a defective product, say baby formula, and that baby formula is sold solely within a single state, Congress has no authority to regulate the production to ensure that the milk is not contaminated with, for example, asbestos or rat poison. Similarly, if a person elects to grow marijuana or to produce narcotics or child pornography and such person’s activities take place only in a single state, then Congress can not regulate. Let’s give a big shout out to all of the decriminalization proponents, as well as NAMBL (North American Man Boy Love Association). Additionally, if a chemical company decides to save money by not treating its waste products, it could dump them all in the river without liability, even if persons and political subdivisions downstream might be adversely effected. So Dow Chemical could dump left-over Agent Orange in the river with no worries. Or a terrorist could release sarin gas into the air and not be liable under any Federal scheme for any deaths/injuries, even if the gas travels across state borders, so long as the terrorist does it all in one state and targets someone other that the United States, say a health care clinic that also does abortions.

Section 3: The power of Congress to appropriate any funds shall be limited to carrying into execution the powers enumerated by this Constitution and vested in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof; or to satisfy any current obligation of the United States to any person living at the time of the ratification of this article.

I assume this is to both shrink the size of the Federal government as well as to eliminate all those programs you don’t like, e.g., foreign aid (including aid to Israel), the NEA, social security, Medicare, home mortgage assistance, the Securities and Exchange Commission, student loans, etc. I could go on for quite a while, but I think you will agree that this is your intent. I point out social security in particular in that Congress could not fund social security in the future for anyone who is not currently receiving benefits, as there is arguably no current obligation.

Also, as the Constitution does not explicitly authorize the regulation of the securities and financial markets or the production of food, drugs, etc. (and as Section 2 of the proposed amendment prohibits intra-state regulation), Congress could not fund the FDA, the SEC, the FDIC or just about any other regulatory agency.

Section 4: The 16th article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed, effective five years from the date of the ratification of this article.

Repeal the income tax — kill the federal government. Also, as you have just eliminated the ability of the federal government to raise funds, we won’t be able to service the payment of the interest (or principal) on our debt and we will have to severely cut our military budget (both of which are two of the largest expenditures of the federal government). Although the amendment would give five years before it takes effect, I think it is safe to say that the results would be immediate and catastrophic. No one is going to purchase US Government debt, as the likelihood of default has just approached a certainty. No new purchases and the immediate decline in value of the existing debt means that the government has no cash to pay bills, even bills such as military salaries or gas for tanks and ships and planes. Congratulations, you have just caused our military to shut down.

Section 5: The judicial power of the United States to enforce this article includes but is not limited to the power to nullify any prohibition or unreasonable regulation of a rightful exercise of liberty. The words of this article, and any other provision of this Constitution, shall be interpreted according to their public meaning at the time of their enactment.

I am getting tired of this, so I will make these last points quickly. “Unreasonable regulation.” Who decides what is “unreasonable?”

Next, “the words of this article, and any other provision of this Constitution, shall be interpreted according to their public meaning at the time of their enactment.” Okay, this means that the Second Amendment shall be interpreted in light of the weapons that were around in the late 1700’s. Similarly, public floggings might be okay, as they were around at the time the 8th Amendment was adopted (although waterboarding was considered torture even then). The US can not have an air force, as that is not an enumerated power and it clearly wasn’t contemplated when the Constitution was adopted. We also can not have trials where the defendant terrorist does not have the right to face his accuser and witnesses, in open court (6th Amendment). So don’t count on having an undercover person testifying in closed court against a terrorist suspect. Also, executive immunity for conversations between the president and his advisors — likely gone.
In closing, the proposed amendment is a simplistic attempt by right-wing conservatives and “libertarians” to do an end-run against a society that they don’t like. However, as is true with much of what these persons suggest (true, a generalization, but I believe a valid one), they really haven’t considered all of the consequences of what they propose. Rather, they will come up with lots of exceptions and excuses to address the consequences they don’t like. In other words, they will apply the amendment to get the policy results they desire, regardless of what the actual philosophical underpinning of the amendment is supposed to be.

The problem is in their “philosophical underpinnings,” in general. Since their reasoning is so wholly inconsistent (e.g., stay out of my private life, unless the interference is based on Evangelical ideals; the government should be shrunk down to nothing, and we should have a gigantic, bloated, overfunded military to protect all cowardly wingnuts with daddy issues; government is bad unless its wiretapping without warrants), they would never be able to apply this absurd amendment anyway.

That Girl – all correct observations…however it’s really just nibbling around the edges of their most unsustainable premise, the one underlying all the rest, which can be explained shorthand as social Darwinism. If you want to expand upon it, their underlying argument is that unfettered accumulation of wealth by the few is the ultimate goal or central value behind our “free” and “democratic” republic, as it is the one value they consistently advance through action while merely playing lip-service to all others. I wish there was a consistent push on that point so that people would ask themselves: “is that really the most important thing for all of us as a nation?” Because I’m pretty sure for most people, if they think about it, it’s not.

Calling all trolls –

Here’s why people will not be taking you or your positions seriously any time soon:

Over a dozen members of the conservative wing of the RNC have submitted a new resolution, to be eventually voted on by the entire RNC, that would call on the Democratic party to rename itself the “Democrat Socialist Party.” If the RNC adopts this resolution, the RNC’s official view would become that Democrats are socialists. From the resolution:

RESOLVED, that we the members of the Republican National Committee call on the Democratic Party to be truthful and honest with the American people by acknowledging that they have evolved from a party of tax and spend to a party of tax and nationalize and, therefore, should agree to rename themselves the Democrat Socialist Party.


http://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/republican-party/michael-steele-under-pressure-to-call-dems-socialists/

A political party that has time to waste on stupid little games like this is one that has consigned itself to irrelevance. Stick that in your teabag and slurp it.

And, obviously, stock sales, corporate buyouts/mergers, and lots of similar transactions which are at base sales will also be exempted, as we note you failed to mention.

Hey, at least we had the decency to name our towns in honor of the natives whose land we stole. It’s better than the hopelessly optimistic Rome, Venice, Rotterdam, etc. upstate.

I would just like to state for the record that the county I live in is called Onondaga, and that people are still around who claim to be of this tribe.

You won’t find me defending rednecks here or anywhere else for that matter, but I can tell you for certain that given the choice between living semi-rurally among inbred rednecks or living among suburbanite dicks on Long Island, I would much rather have the outdoors (as I grew up with it) easily accessible to me.

One of the many things I loved about moving here is that there are comparatively few Beemers, Lexuses, etc. and the assholes that drive them. Columbus had enough Glenn Reynoldsy scum for about fifteen cities, and was getting more by the day.

Maybe it’s just me but I like this place, idiocy notwithstanding. For all of the (admittedly, occasional) upstate trash talking that I see, I wonder what could be said about people who live in their own sealed world within cities and suburbs and have never actually, you know, lived up here.

First of all, where does the Repukelican party get off telling anyone else what their party name should be?!! See, this is the heart of it, the main reason why your party is so roundly loathed: You think, for some reason, that even when you get your asses handed to you in the most humiliating of ways, you still get to boss people around! What a rapidly-dwindling bunch of douche-tards you guys are!

Secondly, that the Rethuglicans’ only real reason for being anymore is to “piss off liberals” is why they are so rapidly dwindling. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving gang of ogreish fuckwads.

Thirdly, please, Repiglicans! Please, do start using “Democrat Socialist Party” all the time, as frequently as possible! You’re only further alienating the final 25 percent of Americans who don’t yet consider your party a smoldering pile of useless filthy rags floating in an oily puddle of bile and snot. So knock yourselves out! Please! Again and again and again!

Yes, I know that Obama’s really popular, and Americans are concerned about losing their jobs, their 401Ks, and their homes, but instead of addressing those issues, let’s pass a resolution calling on Democrats to change the name of their party to the “Democrat Socialist Party.” It’s win-win, I tells ya!

 
 

I wish there was a consistent push on that point so that people would ask themselves: “is that really the most important thing for all of us as a nation?”

There’s that 25% who think they are part of the top 1% (because they make $20/hour or something). They’ve been conned into voting against their own interests for eternity. But, I think everyone else has just about had it with the party who cares for nothing but lining its own pockets.

Oh, and pissing off liberals. That’s the second prong of their two-pronged party platform.

 
 

At 22:31 Howard Appel said:

Section 2: Nothing in this article, or the eighth section of article I, shall be construed to authorize Congress to regulate or prohibit any activity that takes place wholly within a single state, regardless of its effects outside the state or whether it employs instrumentalities therefrom; but Congress may define and punish offenses constituting acts of war or violent insurrection against the United States.

So, if Company A produces a defective product, say baby formula, and that baby formula is sold solely within a single state, Congress has no authority to regulate the production to ensure that the milk is not contaminated with, for example, asbestos or rat poison. Similarly, if a person elects to grow marijuana or to produce narcotics or child pornography and such person’s activities take place only in a single state, then Congress can not regulate. Let’s give a big shout out to all of the decriminalization proponents, as well as NAMBL (North American Man Boy Love Association). Additionally, if a chemical company decides to save money by not treating its waste products, it could dump them all in the river without liability, even if persons and political subdivisions downstream might be adversely effected.

I don’t know if it’s all bad, Howard. Think how many jobs it will create for each state to have its own EPA, FDA and ATF. I’m thinking that in some states I could probably own a tank and use child labor to process imported rhinoceros horns into libido enhancing powders.

 
 

So I encourage Mr. Steele to go even further, and start using “Islamo-Commu-Fascist Demon-crat Party” in all new press releases from the GOP. I think adding little pictures of Obama with a Hitler mustache AND a turban in the margins would be a nice touch. Also.

Maybe sending out Christmas cards with a picture of watermelons on the White House lawn…oh, wait.

 
 

CA, I prefer diet coke. 🙂

You know, it’s kind of funny when the Republitards of the Republitard blogosphere think that Obama and the Democrats are communists. I mean, they’re nuts. But, when the actual GOP leadership starts up with this crap… that is so many layers of pathetic, I don’t think they can ever dig their way out.

Holy moses, I wish that the Democrats were even liberal, much less socialist. Sadly, no.

 
 

PeeJ: “It was originally named simply ‘Marienstatd’, later briefly known as Marystown or Marienburg, then became Sanct Marienstadt. I can’t say for sure but I think it in the 1910’s that it became, for some unfathomable reason, St. Marys.”

Around World War I, many places with German names were rebranded with Anglicized or American names, due to the sudden unpopularity of Germany.

I think the Democrats should respond immediately to this challenge and the DNC should call Obama out of those useless economic and foreign policy meetings to think up an insulting name for the Republican party, and pass a resolution that demands they change the name of their party. How about Corporatist Party of Unbridled Greed?

That would be enough accomplishment and innovation for a month!

 
 

I don’t know if it’s all bad, Howard. Think how many jobs it will create for each state to have its own EPA, FDA and ATF.

Your hilarious tank/rhino horn/child labor comment notwithstanding, this is so true. The outcome of this absurd Constitutional amendment would just result in hugely bloated state bureaucracy 100 times less efficient than a centralized federal bureaucracy.

In other words, yet another GOP EPIC FAIL.

 
 

Liberals, the compelling need to pass the Federalizational Amendamentalist Plan is demonstrated in the awful suffering of the rich.

At the moment I seem to be developing some sort of unholy cross between a Southern accent and a Lawn Guyland accent.

I’ve got one of those already (it comes when you’re born in Long Island, to Long Island parents, but educated in Southern schools). It’s not too terrible, although of course they never *hear* the Southern part down here, or the Long Island part up there.

Also, I agree with Till, how many former Long Islanders are here? It’s becoming concerning.

(Incidentally, I thought the proper phonetics was Lonk Guylin with a hard k.

 
 

Besides which, it summons up thoughts of “Hootie and the Blowfish”, and I’m perfectly happy pretending they never existed.

 
 

Over 7 million, according to hte t00bz.

 
 

How can hip-hop have originated on Long Island?

I’m so confused.

 
 

As with the DHS report, the whinger reaction says so much more about their perspective than they realize.

Clearly the clergy hates it, because they will prosecute priests for preaching against homosexuality, but they will not prosecute imams for inciting jihad and Islamic Jew hatred.

Violence against anyone for any reason should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Why introduce the ‘hate’ aspect?

Maybe I’m missing something because I have never heard of “Islamic Jews” and so have no idea what the fuck that could mean. But really, the way they instantly conflate “speech” with “violence” when it’s their own speech at issue is quite revealing.

 
 

I thought the proper phonetics was Lonk Guylin with a hard k.

It’s been a while, but I think it’s more equivalent to “LAWN GUY LEND”. Nasal “N” at the end of “LAWN”, hard “D” at the end of “LEND”, and say it like you just contracted a horrible case of lockjaw and are terrified to close your mouth lest it never open again.

 
 

This post made the InterTrons shrug.

 
 

But I do know what environment I prefer, and to hear some of you guys talk you’d think it was hell up here.

For the record, I spent the better part of five years in Buffalo, which is sort of the worst of both worlds. They fancy themselves “Western New York”, but fuck them, it’s upstate. I’m still amazed I got out of there alive.

I’ve got nothing in particular against the more rural areas of upstate. Wouldn’t want to live there myself, but at least it’s not a decaying urban corpse. I have spent some time in Alfred, which was nice.

Well, her creameries don’t seem to be real, so there is no problem here. Maybe this is why she posted about that Breastless Barbie. Should the Islamofascists declare a fatwa on all plastic breasts, she’d edge out that Geert Wilders guy as jihad-targert numero uno.

“So is Obama a tough Chicago thug or a weak appeaser incapable of standing up to the likes of Kim Jong Il?”

The answer is simple. Obama is a tough Chicago thug and a weak appeaser who trembles before the leaders of third world nations. His goal is to change America into a sharia-based, socialist, fascist, communist nation without borders that permits the aggressive interrogation of white people but prohibits the manufacture and consumption of nutritionally worthless fast foods that are high in salt, fat and sugar. After he nationalizes all the banks and corporations he will divide Texas into three states and Alaska into six, because he is furious that people make fun of him for saying “57 states” and he is determined to make reality conform to his misspeaking.

Oh, and sapping our precious bodily fluids.

Also.

Paul McCartney’s Dead Adder’s fork Water

Ingredients:
3 bags nasty doe, decreasingly tossed
5 tablespoons intriguing adder’s fork
2 portions noxious mushroom, chastenedly dressed
5 ounces God-damned mynah bird thorax
1 jar
1 can cilantro

1 ounce cilantro

Away grease a cookie sheet. Separate doe bowel from thorax. Mock thorax. Use a food processor to stir the mushroom with the adder’s fork. Drip resulting goo over the doe. Curry – very ignorantly – the mynah bird thorax, rosemary, and the cilantro.

Sorry, fresh out of spleen.

Either the vintner is non-existent and the listing is a means to pass coded data, or the Lt. is an alias.

At this point the weirdness turns fractal and spirals back into itself in infinite Julia-set involutions, seldom encountered unless you have taken twice the recommended dose of cactus juice and you are staring at Paisley-pattern wallpaper, or so people tell me.

If I am correctly unpacking the facts from this single sentence, some doofus (Schluessel??) suggests that a Portugal-based port winery is a non-existent paper company (and the conspiracy went to the trouble of retconning 60-year-old vintage bottles of their non-existent product)…

Meanwhile, several decades ago, other people thought that a mis-spelled title (‘Leiutenant’) plus the name of that port winery would make a good name for their son…

…Who in turn liked the title so much he passed it on to his son, Leiutenant Quarles Harris Jnr (though I cannot exclude the possibility that “Jnr” was the guy’s surname).
Understandably, the doofus takes the first name for a title, and abbreviates it to Lt.; and to win the trifecta, he or she writes ‘vintner’ as if it meant ‘winery’.
Surely this is the work of a parody troll, or infiltrator.

Also, you Americans are weird.

what does it say about Obama’s much touted “judgment” if he hired this “fat olf white douchebag”

uhhhh…probably that in Obama’s opinion, Summers made the most sense, had the most experience or the right type or mixture of types of experience, had a compatible outlook, or something of the sort, in spite of the fact that he’s a bit of a douchebag.

This type of thing happens a lot in the real world – people overlook the less pleasant aspects of other people’s personalities because they have other qualities that outweigh them, or something of the like.

Customer: It’s not for me; I use it to get my girlfriends intoxicated.
Shopkeeper: Ah — you have a port in every girl.

If somebody could help me find a youtube video or something with Tony Randall doing Have Some Madeira, M’dear! I’d really appreciate it.

Clicked through w/o “Idiot” for me from that link. But one never knows.

 
 

Who’s gonna have this convention to amend the Constitution again? The 800,000 (actually closer to 200,000) teabaggers? And by what authority can a small minority of the population force Congress to at, or enact amendments to our primary government docments?
I like the sales tax idea, though. people who make say 50k a year will pay 10-12k right at the register. Of course this won’t replace state sales tax, so they will pay more like 25-28% of their income. When most of them are taxed at an effective rate of about 10% now. So you’re advocating a huge tax increase for most working Americans (and of course, a tax cut for the wealthiest, who don’t spend anywhere near the same portion of their wealth subject to any sales tax. But what (as Jennifer says at 22:47 is new about that?

 
 

LGF link OK if you open in new tab. Johnson’s still a fucking moran.

 
 

Fine.

I have a big chunk of beef bottom round which has been marinating for a week. Combine a couple cups of rotwein and a large onion, sliced, with several tablespoons of pickling spice in a saucepan. Toss in a quarter cup oif red wine vinegar. Bring just to the boil and remove from heat, let cool. When cooled to room temp, put the beef in a container with the marinade. I use a ziploc bag and suck out excess air before sealing. Let it marinate for at least three days.

Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Heat some lard or oil in your pressure cooker over medium high heat until it shimmers then brown the roast on all sides. BROWN it I say, not “gray it.” It MUST develop that fabulous Maillard reaction crust. Add the marinate and cook for a while – time depends on how thick the meat is but p[robably 20-25 minutes. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, use a dutch oven and cook it, covered, in the oven for two to three hours.

Remove the meat and strain the marinade, reserving trhe liquid. Bring the liquid to a gentle boil and add crushed ginger snaps (a few, whatever it takes to make a medium thick sauce) to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in a big huge ginormous dollop of sour cream. NB: Add the cream off-heat and do not let it boil after sour cream addition!

Slice the meat and drape with the sauce. Serve with Spätzle and red cabbage.

Oh, okay.

Red Cabbage: just slice some red fucking cabbage and toss it in a pot with salt, pepper, caraway seed, a sprinkling of sugar and several generous spalshes of red wine vinegar. A bit of lemon juice is a nice touch. Cover and cook on low heat for however long you like – you can’t overcook it. Add a bit of water if it’s getting dry.

 
How's that "change" working for ya?

Milton Freewater, Oregon

Can someone explain to me how somewhere the size of M-F can be a city. Over in Europe we would call that a village (and a small one at that)

 
 

Well of course I’m mad. It’s not as if Chuckie redirects half the intertubes to the IDF website or anything like that. He’s usually so open to criticism and stuff.

 
 

After dismantling the USA and flushing it down the toilet, rolling North Korea into a little ball and flicking it to the far side of the galaxy should be a cinch.

RESOLVED, that we the members of the Democratic National Committee call on the Republican Party to disband forever and never darken the towels of the American body politic again

I thought I fixed it, but then I remembered how truly feckless the Democratic leadership can be when confronted with unwarranted arrogance from the GOP.

That passive agressive stuff is making you sooooo hot. Admit it HTCWFA. There’s not so much to grease up to since Jack Bauer is on the nose.

 
 

I suppose the country must be in competent hands when the President’s economic adviser falls asleep at meetings, huh libs?

I take it you called for Cheney’s impeachment over the past eight years as well.

Of course, his boredom was understandable: his plan was working perfectly, the Cabinet meetings merely window dressing.

 
 

Brandi, is that the famous Cigarskunk? I think I’m in love!

Nope. I’m leaving off his name– well, not to spare him any indignity really, but because I suspect nobody’s reading this thread at this point.

I think in the US city vs. town refers to the type of government the area has, i.e. mayor vs. town council or board, but that may vary from state to state.

Are you sure it’s not Dr. F?

Dayum! You all ought to put up warnings or something for comment threads like this. About half-way down I lost the sight in one eye and I think I just blew out a hernia before I made it to the end. I give it a standing ovation, with a nomination for Best Supporting Actor to Mr. The Federalism Amendment for his truly inspired efforts. I’m dog-goned if I’m going to be able to work for the rest of the day, so I’m just going to put on some Bill Monroe and start my beering a bit early.

Again, it’s clear that the CIA controls Google both backwards and forwards in time. Just like the stock market, which would otherwise be a perfect mechanism by which to allocate resources.

Dear sirs,
Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) is bragging about how he doesn’t know Plate Tectonics and you aren’t covering it?”

He’s a Plate Tectonics Skeptic.
“The oil just drifted there, huh?”
I fail to see why this is reason for comment. It’s more no controversial a position than those champions of the oppressed who question the hegemony of heliocentrism.
