Am I a genius or did I subconsciously rip someone else off?
Posted on July 10th, 2009 by Brad
Curious — has anyone coined the term “The Alaskan Quitbull” to describe Sarah Palin yet? Because if not, I’m a genius.
UPDATE: Dammit.

Yes.
The term “quitbull” had occurred to me, but I never typed it anywhere or said it aloud, so I have no prior claim. Well done!
Yes. Here.
Damn. Oh well.
It’s still hilarious. I will give you credit and pretend I never knew nuthin’ about the origin.
Barracudn’ta?

Sarah Palin: The Quitter Giver Uperer?
Okay, it’s early. I know.
I like that one.
Golf clap, regardless of origin.
I applaud Righteous Bubba’s mad Google skilz.
Iquitarod has been doing the rounds as well.
Also.
What’s the difference between Sarah Palin and a Hockey Mom? One’s a pitbull with lipstick, the other’s, er, I dunno, I quit.
There was at one point a video game called “Pit Fighter”.
Mizz Sarah said she was a “fighter, not a quitter”.
Well, why not be both?
JPG, photoshop, etc. left as exercise for the student.
Sarah Palin: The Quitter Giver Uperer?
Department of Redundancy Department. Still, somehow appropriate in her case.
I hope some of Teh Sadly commentors respond to this terrific term with jokes based on the “difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull” schtick.
She makes quilts?
What? Oh, never mind.
My faves are “Half-baked Alaska” and “Iquitarod”.

a/k/a Dr. Pooper. Anyone? I’m old.
It’s okay. I still think you’re a genius.
Hookey Mom?
Governot?
“difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull”
Lipschtick?
No?
Hookey Mom?
Yeah!
That’s awesome.
Schlocky Mom?
There’s nothing we could possibly call her that’s funnier than “leader of the Republican party”, “presidential contender”, or “family-values conservative”.
Shouldaknown, teh gazoogle sez schlocky mom is already an internets tradition.
Hookey Mom, however, is WIN.
The Philly columnist makes a good point. Palin quitting because of “family” just reinforces the stereotype that women can’t hold their own in the workplace because of their mysterious lady junk.
Fits in with conservative stereotyping, I guess.. that she’s a TUFF BROAD but also everyone’s been real mean to her so BACK OFF THAT’S MY LADY YOU’RE TALKIN’ TO.
You’re still a genius. Next to Sarah, we all are.
Also I’m a fan of Barracudn’t.
Puttin’ it all together:
“What’s the difference between a hookey mom and a quitbull?”
“Lipschtick!”
Geez, none of them can shut their pieholes, can they?
Levi talks, Palin’s spokesperson snips back
“It is interesting to learn Levi is working on a piece of fiction while honing his acting skills,” Palin family spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
guess which one can’t leave high school behind.
Barracouldn’t?
Cari-boo hoo Barbie?
Frightening thing is that the “Palin family” evidently needs a spokeswoman in the first place.
So Sarah Palin, Todd Palin, Yakutat Palin and John McCain take their act on the road.
First, John goes out on stage and does his terriffic mesmer act, putting the audience to sleep.
Then Yakutat comes out and does her famous fan / contortionist dance which ends with an audience member (heh) entering her from behind while she’s folded into a ball.
Then Sarah comes out and shits all over the stage and the audience, then suddenly stops and runs offstage.
Todd comes out on a snow machine and parks in the middle of the stage.
Somebody in the audience yells out, “What the fuck was that?!”
Todd says, “The Aristocrats!”

I got a question for all the leftists:
Why should we bother wasting taxpayer dollars oh “high speed” rail when Amtrak is a disaster and has been a fiscal loser ever since it was creàted?
If there was a real demand for “high speed” rail, a private company would invest in it, like our private airliners run. Since the government has to do it, there must not be real demand!
How about P.A.L.I.N.?:

The term I came up with isn’t a slam on Palin’s propensity for quitting. So forgive me for straying from the theme slightly.
I often thought that based on the almost (almost?) worshipful fervor her fanbase exhibits, the phrase “Holy Trig-nity” should be applied to SP, prop and whatever third family member is enduring the mockery du jour.

Why should we bother wasting taxpayer dollars on “high speed” intersate highway system when it has been a fiscal loser ever since it was created?

National defense is a proper role for government.
I agree about NASA, it is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Scrap it.

I like how all the airlines paid for and built the airports and the radar stations and the air traffic control systems. It is central to Troofie’s point.
Invading Iraq != national defense.
That’s good.

The radar stations and air traffic controllers are regulation, not subsidization. And anywayan that cost is passed onto the consumer through the ticket price.
Airliners can and do go out of business when they fail to make a profit. Compare that to Amtrak.

RC, did you take a wrong turn at the sign that said, “This way to debate transportation subsidies”?
Miss Alaskanotherguytodoit.
Where’d them goalposts go?
I would argue that since Palin’s real vocation is finding any TV camera that will transmit her vacant expressions across the airwaves, she hasn’t “quit” in any meaningful sense of the word.

You’re probably right, they built ten gazllion kilometers of train lines all over Europe where I live, and NO one ever uses them. Every time I get on one I’m the only one on it. I can stretch out, have parties, it’s like a ghost train, I tells ya.
Of course, the government had a lot to do with building them, forcing these unused empty ghost train lines on everyone. Damn guvmint can’t do anything right.
NB: Have you considered Somalia? Very low government participation, I’ve heard.

At the LA premiere of “Spamalot,” during the Knights of Ni! sequence, the head knight started riffing on their “new” name, singing (to the tune of Frere Jacques)
“Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin
Please don’t go
Please don’t go!
Who will watch for Putin
Who will watch for Putin
We don’t know.”
At the end, when Eric Idle came out to talk to the audience & thank us all for coming out, he mentioned that he used to think that Michael was the funniest Palin he had ever seen (repeating what John Cleese had said last fall in an interview).
The larger issue with Sarah’s ambitions are that the big-money corporate types that bankroll everything the GOP does will never write her a check, from now until infinity (couldn’t figure out how to put that sideways “8” here, dammit). Unless she manages to cobble together some kind of grassroots funding organization the way Obama successfully did to challenge the DLC-Clinton juggernaut, Palin doesn’t have a hope in hell of being relevant, other than as a Fox News sideshow. And she’ll find that Rush, Hannity & O’Reilly will not be smiling once she transitions from being chum ratings-bait on their shows, to potentially stealing away their viewers, sponsorships & speaking fees.
Palin will make a big splash when she gets her show. And then it will wither and die the Death of 1,000 Cuts from her former “friends.”

Fortunately for me, I found the solution to the whole staring problem.
And the comment on Sarkozy’s restraint is extra funny if you know he met his second wife while he was mayor and presiding over her marriage ceremony to the man she later left for Sarkozy(he was still married to his first wife at the time). He’s on his third wife, and there have been rumors of at least one other affair. Obama, on the other hand, is still married to the same woman. So, they both look, but Sarko is the restrained one? Hee hee hee!
I would never be caught in an action so unseemly as starring at the derriere
Or even staring at the derriere for that matter. Also
I am loving Teen Ass Gate better than any Gate, be it Mustard or Date Night, that the wingnuts have soiled themselves in yet. No matter than video of the ogling clearly shows no ogling whatsoever. Their collective fake rage boner’s are finally, fully erect.

Obama looked at a woman’s butt? Horrors! Why couldn’t he have the class of George W. Bush?
Althouse:
Even though the video totally refutes it, for both Obama and Sarkozy. There is no restraint on the part of the latter.
More fun with G8 summit stills.
Merkel checks her back, still not convinced that George W. Bush will not suddenly appear at the meeting.

In his piece sign shot Gaddafi looks like a mix of Tony Montana, an admiral, and Bono.
I think of Gene Simmons.
Duuuuuude
That one’s totally Gene.
Gaddafi wins the news cycle once more.
He reminds me of Little Carmine from the Sopranos.

You gotta admit, Muamar has an interesting wardrobe.
He’s lookin’ kinda frumpy there. The white suit just blows everyone away.
It’s like he’s rummaging through the dress-up box.
Teen Ass Gate.
Wow.
You gotta admit, Muamar has an interesting wardrobe.
In that first image (“Muamar”) he looks like Hans Gruber from Die Hard. He certainly is versatile.
I finally got home and clicked through to the Althouse article.
I don’t blame Obama for looking. You ain’t hurting anyone by looking, f’crissake, and it’s a very look-at-worthy can, I must say.
Still, according to the comments over there this shows how all black men are oversexed and want the white women and Obama’s a slack-jawed “yokel” and liberals are perverts and yadda yadda yadda.
I grieve for the Libyan button-making industry that they do not have the technology to make the picture he’s wearing small and circular.

Protecting Their Own: The International Community Sides With Zelaya
By Brian Garst
Liberal institutionalism is a branch of international relations theory which holds international organizations in high regard. Liberal institutionalists believe that such organizations can promote peace by fostering cooperation between states. Honduras is learning the hard way how this same cooperative structure can also be abused by dictators to assault democracy, while the response by the international community at once reveals both the folly of placing too much faith in such organizations and the shallowness of the West’s rhetoric on liberty.
Let there be no doubt that the situation in Honduras is not ideal. Supporters of democracy should never wish to see elected leaders removed by force; yet sometimes there is little alternative. Given the recent string of populist, left-wing strongmen in Latin America – such as Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez – who have successfully rewritten their nations’ constitutions, undermined democratic institutions and rolled back liberal freedoms, the legislative and judicial branches of Honduras were right to be concerned over ex-President Manuel Zelaya’s intentions in calling for a referendum to explore constitutional change. In response, the Honduran Supreme Court ruled this act unlawful while the congress even passed a new law making perfectly clear the illegal nature of Zelaya’s plan.
When the head of the Joint Chiefs refused to provide logistical support for the referendum on the basis that it would be in violation of the law, Zelaya sacked him. He then blamed the growing political crisis on “some sectors that have promoted destabilization and chaos.” These sectors, we must take it, include every political branch of the Honduran government other than Zelaya, as he has acted without even the support of his own party.
Although he tried to cast blame elsewhere, it is clear from his actions that the primary instigator of the crisis has been Zelaya himself. After dismissing his highest military officers, an act which prompted the heads of all major branches to resign in protest, Zelaya personally led a mob to storm an air force base where Venezuelan-printed ballots for the referendum were being held.
When the courts ordered General Vasquez reinstated, Zelaya not only refused to comply, but also wrapped himself in left-wing populism. “[The Supreme Court] only imparts justice for the powerful, the rich and the bankers,” he told his supporters before adding, “[it] only causes problems for democracy.” Zelaya has apparently confused himself for democracy. Hugo Chavez often expressed similar views on his own country’s court system before eventually packing it with allies in his constant quest to undermine Venezuela’s democratic institutions. Honduras decided it would not wait around for Zelaya to do the same.
Fed up with Zelaya’s illegal actions, and accusing him of “preparing his own coup by conspiring to shut down the congress and courts,” as Justice Rosalinda Cruz put it, the Supreme Court issued an arrest warrant for Zelaya. The warrant was the culmination of an investigation that had been underway for weeks. It was also unanimously approved by all 15 judges. It was under this authority that the military acted when it shuttled Zelaya out of the country. The military then immediately stepped aside so that civilian authorities could follow the legal process for appointing a replacement.
The international community, previously uninterested in Zelaya’s illiberal actions, promptly responded with righteous indignation and demands for Zelaya’s return. Democracy, they proclaimed against all fact or reason, was not under assault by Zelaya, but by those who removed him. The Organization of America States, with the support of the Obama administration, demanded Zelaya be immediately returned to office with no additional limits on his presidential powers. If Honduras did not comply, the OAS threatened a suspension of their membership along with economic sanctions.
Washington even joined Venezuela and Bolivia in cosponsoring a UN resolution condemning the removal of Zelaya as an illegal military coup. The U.N. General Assembly, where only 90 of the almost 200 world leaders represent nations that are ranked fully democratic by Freedom House, unanimously voted for the measure. Barack Obama then had the gall to claim that he would “stand with democracy,” all the while carving out a position indistinguishable from that of Hugo Chavez and his client states. This kind of international circling of the dictatorial wagons is to be expected from a mostly undemocratic body like the U.N., but change has indeed come to Washington when even the United States cannot differentiate between illiberal Latin American leftism and real democracy.
Apparently neither President Obama nor anyone in his administration has bothered to read the Honduran constitution, which prohibited even a proposal of reforming the term limits placed on their president. Article 239 states,
“No citizen who has already served as head of the Executive Branch can be President or Vice-President. Whoever violates this law or proposes its reform, as well as those that support such violation directly or indirectly, will immediately cease in their functions and will be unable to hold any public office for a period of 10 years.”
This provision is easy to understand given the history of Honduras, where, like many Latin American nations, the people have suffered under years of military rule. In 1982 they carefully crafted a constitution that finally allowed the nation an orderly return to democracy. Unlike other Latin American constitutions, this one has been able to stand up to rabble-rousing, referendum-using populists precisely because some sections may not legally be repealed by any means. Zelaya, in even attempting to remove his term limits, forfeited his office long before the military showed up on his doorstep.
The prospect that such a system might successfully fight off illiberal strongmen has Latin America’s remaining socialists deeply concerned, and so they have been working tirelessly to see their partner in crime restored to office. Chavez and his Nicaraguan buddy, Daniel Ortega, have both threatened military action against Honduras. Yet the White House is too busy condemning the enforcement of the Honduran constitution to take issue with this bullying. The OAS, which recently welcomed Castro’s still communist Cuba back into organization’s fold, even hypocritically dusted off and trotted out its democracy promoting charter to justify the suspension of Honduras. Honduras promptly and rightfully told them to shove off, and left the discredited body.
Democracy promoting institutions like the OAS have been utterly compromised by the inclusion of illiberal, anti-democratic strongmen. Proponents of allowing undemocratic nations to participate in international organizations have long claimed that such engagement will enhance the spread of freedom to those countries. The opposite has turned out to be the case. While nation’s such as Cuba have not become more democratic, the West has decidedly become less willing to defend liberal democracy. The language of democracy has now become a tool for the undemocratic, used to fool the willfully blind while petty, would-be tyrants rip apart the very institutions they claim to be protecting.
Until recently the United States has at least rhetorically stood against these efforts, but America’s new President, in all his cowardice, has decided to surrender the language of freedom to those who would deny its application to their own people. The fledgling – yet still bravely democratic – government of Honduras has stood strong despite this betrayal. It is a sad day that sees America abdicate its once proud role as the beacon of freedom in the world. I pray that they can forgive our governments now that the people of Honduras have been left in the dark, abandoned by the supposedly free nation’s of the world, to find their own way.
Yay! I finally have no voice of my own!

For the worse. Don’t fall for it.
Does anyone ever read the c&p comments? I hit the kill button instantly. It kind of makes you wonder who would spend time reading multiple articles and copying and pasting them into the comment form, including recopying the title to paste in the Name field, knowing the only responses will be the silence of the kill-button, quick scrolling past, or well-earned accusations of fail. Sad.

An eleven year-old wishing for peace? What a cunt.
Jerry Rubin awaits his royalties.
From the JammieWearingFool blog.
“Yes, that is Barry O’s oldest daughter in that picture with the t-shirt bearing a peace symbol and the article says is the symbol for an organization called Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
My question is, did mommy and daddy influence Malia or is Malia helping daddy make important national security decisions? My question for all of y’all is do you still doubt the radical views of your President in Training Pants?
Malia has only been around Barack for 11 years–yes, that is how old she is–which is hard to believe looking at these pictures, and yet we are expected to believe that people like Jeremiah Wright, whom Barack knew for 20 years, had no effect on his thinking.
Can you imagine the outcry if it was the Bush daughters wearing a shirt like this?
Will David Letterman make any jokes about the Obama kids, now that they are using them as stage props to further reinforce dangerous national security policies which seems to revolve around paying the bullies of the world protection money in the hopes they beat up our friends first? Only problem with that type of policy is that sooner or later you no longer have any place to run and you must finally come face-to-face with your tormentor.
Sleep good America, and may the chains rest lightly upon your shoulders.”
What was that ten minutes ago? Oh yeah. How dare you beat up on Sarah Palin’s family.
These people are insufferable ass cramps.
The guy doing all parts of “It Wasn’t Me” is great. I especially like how he mumbles through the word “banging,” which I assume is censored in the karaoke scroll.
Oh, the above was found via http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com and the following was found by at commenter wading through Free Republic, so it seems.
“What if an 11 year old white kid wanted to wear a swastika? Certainly an outrageous symbol that would certainly upset many people. Can the child wear it? Why not? The peace symbol really riles up a significant portion of our society. It reminds me of the time Billy Ayres and Co. blew up a police station and terrorized middle class America with threats of violence against normal Americans. It is a hate symbol and I find it offensive. So… can an 11 year old white kid wear a tee shirt with a swastika? How about a president’s kid? Why not? Its a symbol of hate. Just like the peace symbol…”
Sigh.
I bet there would be some outcry were they sharing one shirt between them, yeppers.
I love the comment from the Daily Mail article about how an 11-year-old could POSSIBLY know about the link between the CND and the peace sign.
Um, she’s been better educated about recent American history than your drooling home-schooled larva who thinks the Earth is 6000 years old and Ronald Reagan was our first President?
Two words come to mind when I reflect on Cheney’s assassins:

And, lest we forget, the vilification of the smiley face via the Pantload’s epic tome.
WTF? I clicked on that Hitler kitten link and there was nary a naked writhing Amanda Donohoe in sight. Last time there was a tease of this magnitude, I got really mad at GM.
So these things are true. And so is this. And don’t forget all these other things that have to be taken as gospel. Then of course we have to remember how big God’s dick is. I mean it’s HUGE PENIS TIME. Which naturally leads one to conclude Obama coached his daughter in order to sap our purity of essence.
Bohemians all! Enjoy your summer encampment !
Is this the real life – or is it just fantasy?
I’m better than that!
It kind of makes you wonder who would spend time reading multiple articles and copying and pasting them into the comment form,
“reading” them? Yah really think so? “Having them read to him” might be closer to the truth, but think even the troll’s mommy gets tired and says, “let’s just read ‘Fox in Socks’ again, and you can make fun of the tweedle beetles before bed, OK, Pumpkin?”
What turns people into non-classy scumball scroll-trollers?
Start with a faulty premise based on fear and ignorance. Add in self-righteous indignation. Throw in a something about how big God’s dick is, repeat that a few times to establish authority. Then come to a conclusion that is completely self-aggrandizing and again based completely on fear and ignorance. Do forget My god has a huge PENIS too.

Will Sotomayor Make Spanish An Official Language?
By Jared Taylor
I first recall it happening in the 1980s. You could always tell who liked the Sandinistas by the way they said “NicaRAAAgua,” with an exaggerated Spanish accent.
Now Spanish pronunciation is everywhere. On National Public Radio, every Mexican name gets a rolled “R” and flat vowels.
No one does this with French or German names. Not even the wildest Francophile would pronounce Detroit or Illinois or Lake Pontchartrain the way the French do. But it proves you love “diversity” if you talk about Los Angeles the way a Mexican would.
Barack Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court wants to give us language lessons, too. We’re not supposed to pronounce her name the way an American would, with the accent on the first syllable and the last two syllables rhyming with “mayor,” as in the mayor of Chicago. She insists on a Spanish pronunciation.
Zbigniew Brzezinski and Antonin Scalia don’t tell us to pronounce their names the way their Polish or Italian ancestors did. They are Americans and understand the way Americans speak.
Not Sonia. As she keeps telling us, although she is American-born, she is a “Latina”—forget that English dispensed with this type of gender distinction a thousand years ago—and she wants to remind us of this every time we hear her name.
It wasn’t all that long ago that people wanted to fit in, and changed their names to sound more American. Ralph Lauren was born Ralph Lifshitz and campus radical Mark Rudd started life as Mark Rudnitsky. Volodymyr Palahniuk made things a lot easier for himself by switching to Jack Palance.
Of course, no one wants to fit into America any more, not even someone who wants to sit on the Supreme Court. We have to adjust to them, not the other way around.
At the same time, this pronunciation fad is an attempt to sneak Spanish in the back door as a sort of official language—or at least to exempt Spanish names from the Anglicizing process other names go through. Like “Press 1 for English,” this is just one more result of having let 40 million Hispanics come live here.
The Chinese have been pushing us around, too. We’re not supposed to talk about Peking or Canton anymore. They are Beijing and Guangzhou. The Communists changed the spelling after they took over in 1949, but only started bullying Westerners about it in the 1980s.
The Chinese claim the new spellings sound more like the way the Chinese themselves pronounce the name. So what? English-speakers have certain names for certain places and we have used them for centuries. Munich isn’t even spelled the same as München and Florence doesn’t sound much like Firenze, but the Germans and the Italians don’t ask us to change. If the French told us to start calling their capital Paree we would laugh at them.
The Japanese have their own names for things, too. They use the same characters as the Chinese but pronounce them differently. So they are the only people in the world who talk about Moh Taku-toh and Sho Kai-seki rather than Mao Tse-tung and Chiang Kai-shek.
The Chinese don’t like that but the Japanese speak Japanese, not Chinese. And Nancy Pelosi could live in Japan all her life but never be anything but Nahnshee Pehroshee.
Like the Japanese, the French have their own ideas about how our names should be pronounced. Our last president was Zhorzh Boosh, and he lived in la Maison Blanche, not the White House. To them, New England is Nouvelle Angleterre and South Carolina is Caroline du Sud.
And do you think Mexicans ever go to New York? No, they go to Nuevo York. In 2001, Hispanic legislators introduced a bill in the New Mexico state house officially to change the state’s name to Nuevo Mexico. When the bill never made it out of committee, sponsor Miguel Garcia blamed “covert racism.” [Lawmaker Suggests Racism To Blame After New State Name Axed, By S. U. Mahesh, Albuquerque Journal, February 14, 2001]
Americans speak English, and not just any kind of English. We don’t talk about lorries and lifts, and we don’t twist our mouths into funny shapes just because foreigners tell us to.
Why should this Supreme Court nominee get special treatment? Keep pronouncing her name the way an American would.
If someone corrects you, ask him “What’s the capital of Japan? When he says “Tokyo” (and it won’t sound like the way the Japanese say it) explain to him: “Obviously you don’t speak Japanese. I don’t speak Puerto Rican.”
Not at all funny for instance.
Effort made, but worrying about who the troll is or what the troll does is a fail from the get-go.
My name is pronounced “needle-dicked skinhead closet case” in God’s Tongue (TM), English. If you pronounce it differently you’re anti-American. Never forget this.
@RB
But you’ve got to admit:
is spitacular.
Since he’s a dishonest shitbag, I’m sure he’d claim it was someone else, but wasn’t Troofie saying “I’m blind to race” a while ago? Bookmark it, race traitors!
I do admit it. Mr. Clyde is allowed to write anything he wants anywhere any time, except with a needle on my scrotum, no matter how much he begs.
Smut Clyde is funny, therefore it is okay for others to get trolled.
I even offered to use a clean needle.
I don’t speak Puerto Rican.
I win every argument with that line.
I want to know what Smut was going to write. I’m almost curious enough to offer up my scroat. Almost.
Maybe David Brooks will take you up on that instead.
except with a needle on my scrotum, no matter how much he begs.
Dabbler.
Here’s some more demons of wusiness:
Abbandon: King of the bottomless quitbull locusts
Palingone: One of the kings of Heck.
Succubut: King of the brown-nosers.
Here’s something for Red Con to practice his reading skills on:
“Contents may settle after packing”.
I think Herr Smut wants to inscribe your crimes on your backs. W/ his “clean” needle.
The rest of us are just cannon fodder, struggling and dying while SC takes his sweet time reloading.
Or rewriting to suit the circumstances.
I’m glad I asked. I haven’t laughed that hard since “Governot” or maybe some of the bad karaoke.
I’m saving up for a rapid-fire trebuchet.
Or rewriting to suit the circumstances.
Not everyone has an enticingly large forehead.
One of those multi-barreled ones? A Ludgar-tling gun?
One day my plans will come to fruition.
The inability of folk to ignore truthy and his puppets has pretty much killed the deal. Multi hundred response threads, 40-50% troll and response, aren’t worth it. I sad.
Sopor Palin: El bailer! reliable nil apropos.
Woe is Palin!
By inviting Andrea Mitchell on vacation.
Are you sure about that figure? I’d guess maybe 20% T&R on this thread (are you counting “don’t feed the troll” responses as T&R?). the trolls didn’t show up until there were at least a hundred, IIRC (2 1/2 hours after first comment).
One of those multi-barreled ones?
It’s a quadrebuchet.
This thread has a lotta laffs I’d say. Only a very few were about my scrotum, so better than average.
Speaking of Sarah’s excuses for quitting like the quitting quitter that she can’t quit quittingly quit quit quitter quit….uh where was I?
So apparently she had to go because of all those ethics complaints eating up time and $$$. 1.9 million dollars of it. Only, maybe not quite as much as that, and also plus extra graft!
Mystery overcharges and double counting on accounts related to defenses against ethics complaints? Oh the irony is so OM NOM NOM NOM.
A 60-page review of the scientific evidence, some based on state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain size, has concluded that race differences in average IQ are largely genetic. The lead article in the June 2005 issue of Psychology, Public Policy and Law, a journal of the American Psychological Association, examined 10 categories of research evidence from around the world to contrast “a hereditarian model (50% genetic-50% cultural) and a culture-only model (0% genetic-100% cultural).”
The paper, “Thirty Years of Research on Race Differences in Cognitive Ability,” by J. Philippe Rushton of the University of Western Ontario and Arthur R. Jensen of the University of California at Berkeley, appeared with a positive commentary by Linda Gottfredson of the University of Delaware, three critical ones (by Robert Sternberg of Yale University, Richard Nisbett of the University of Michigan, and Lisa Suzuki & Joshua Aronson of New York University), and the authors’ reply.
“Neither the existence nor the size of race differences in IQ are a matter of dispute, only their cause,” write the authors. The Black-White difference has been found consistently from the time of the massive World War I Army testing of 90 years ago to a massive study of over 6 million corporate, military, and higher-education test-takers in 2001.
“Race differences show up by 3 years of age, even after matching on maternal education and other variables,” said Rushton. “Therefore they cannot be due to poor education since this has not yet begun to exert an effect. That’s why Jensen and I looked at the genetic hypothesis in detail. We examined 10 categories of evidence.”
1. The Worldwide Pattern of IQ Scores. East Asians average higher on IQ tests than Whites, both in the U. S. and in Asia, even though IQ tests were developed for use in the Euro-American culture. Around the world, the average IQ for East Asians centers around 106; for Whites, about 100; and for Blacks about 85 in the U.S. and 70 in sub-Saharan Africa.
2. Race Differences are Most Pronounced on Tests that Best Measure the General Intelligence Factor (g). Black-White differences, for example, are larger on the Backward Digit Span test than on the less g loaded Forward Digit Span test.
3. The Gene-Environment Architecture of IQ is the Same in all Races, and Race Differences are Most Pronounced on More Heritable Abilities. Studies of Black, White, and East Asian twins, for example, show the heritability of IQ is 50% or higher in all races.
4. Brain Size Differences. Studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) find a correlation of brain size with IQ of about 0.40. Larger brains contain more neurons and synapses and process information faster. Race differences in brain size are present at birth. By adulthood, East Asians average 1 cubic inch more cranial capacity than Whites who average 5 cubic inches more than Blacks.
5. Trans-Racial Adoption Studies. Race differences in IQ remain following adoption by White middle class parents. East Asians grow to average higher IQs than Whites while Blacks score lower. The Minnesota Trans-Racial Adoption Study followed children to age 17 and found race differences were even greater than at age 7: White children, 106; Mixed-Race children, 99; and Black children, 89.
6. Racial Admixture Studies. Black children with lighter skin, for example, average higher IQ scores. In South Africa, the IQ of the mixed-race “Colored” population averages 85, intermediate to the African 70 and White 100.
7. IQ Scores of Blacks and Whites Regress toward the Averages of Their Race. Parents pass on only some exceptional genes to offspring so parents with very high IQs tend to have more average children. Black and White children with parents of IQ 115 move to different averages–Blacks toward 85 and Whites to 100.
8. Race Differences in Other “Life-History” Traits. East Asians and Blacks consistently fall at two ends of a continuum with Whites intermediate on 60 measures of maturation, personality, reproduction, and social organization. For example, Black children sit, crawl, walk, and put on their clothes earlier than Whites or East Asians.
9. Race Differences and the Out-of-Africa theory of Human Origins. East Asian-White-Black differences fit the theory that modern humans arose in Africa about 100,000 years ago and expanded northward. During prolonged winters there was evolutionary selection for higher IQ created by problems of raising children, gathering and storing food, gaining shelter, and making clothes.
10. Do Culture-Only Theories Explain the Data? Culture-only theories do not explain the highly consistent pattern of race differences in IQ, especially the East Asian data. No interventions such as ending segregation, introducing school busing, or “Head Start” programs have reduced the gaps as culture-only theory would predict.
In their article, Rushton and Jensen also address some of the policy issues that stem from their conclusions. Their main recommendation is that people be treated as individuals, not as members of groups. They emphasized that their paper pertains only to average differences. They also called for the need to accurately inform the public about the true nature of individual and group differences, genetics and evolutionary biology.
Rushton and Jensen are well-known for research on racial differences in intelligence. Jensen hypothesized a genetic basis for Black-White IQ differences in his 1969 Harvard Educational Review article. His later books Bias in Mental Tests (1980) and The g Factor (1998), as well as Rushton’s (1995) Race, Evolution, and Behavior, show that tests are not biased against English speaking minorities and that Black-White-East Asian differences in brain size and IQ belong in an evolutionary framework.
OK, that last scrolltroll bit was way over the line. Maybe there’s a WP plug-in that would prohibit comments that went over x number of characters.
Teh stupid, it burns!
Like a dog to vomit, the troll will always find its way back to eugenics.

And, just in case you libs though it was safe, I hear Palin’s announced that she has not yet begun to quit!
The glove did not fit, so she chose to quit.
Quitter – quitter -quitty -quit!
Quit quit quitter’s got a rubber arm!
Swing and I Quit!
She shoots (her mouth), she QUITS!!!!!!
Leave Palin ALOOONNNNEEEE! She’s at her quits end.
Brevity is the soul of
witlingeriegubernatorial terms!Sarah Palin on June 4, 1940:
We shall quit on the beaches, we shall quit on the landing grounds, we shall quit in the fields and in the streets, we shall quit in the hills; we will surrender, you betcha, ’cause I always have a Fox News anchor position open to me, you betcha, you betcha, you betcha…
I dunno why Palin was woried about “lame duck” status. She’s doing a bang-up job with the day to day quitodian tasks of not governing.
Palin. noun. A word, line, verse, number, sentence, etc., that would read the same backward as forward, but I got bored and stopped half-way through.
Able was I… ah, fuck it!
If Obama hadn’t been checking out that girl’s ass, the righties would be saying, “HES GAY!!!!!11!!” (sic).
What’s Sarah Palin’s favorite restaurant? Quitznos.
HAHAHAHAHHAHHA. It was all just a misunderstanding. She was just tryin to say that she was on Twitter.
If Obama hadn’t been checking out that girl’s ass, the righties would be saying, “HES GAY!!!!!11!!” (sic).
If he had been checking out a man’s ass, they’d be thinking “HES A REPUBLICAN!!!!!!!!!11!”
Not saying it out loud, because they hate to admit that they’re frustrated closet cases.
Q) During WWII, what did they call Eisenhower’s famous sense of humor?
A) I quit
Fredric Brown stole your joke 60-odd years ago.
As someone who has worked for over a decade in the South Bronx, all I have to say to the troll is:
Better to be a race traitor than a Red Stater.
As far as how it feels to be a race traitor, it ranges from, “Man, this pernil with arroz con gandules is good” to “AY MAMACITA!!!!”
Great Moments in History, as Seen Through the Eyes of Sarah Palin
Just remember that The 300 started to hold back Xerxes’ hordes, but then decided that they had something else to do.
It’s a ticking time-bomb scenario, only this one guy can tell us where the bomb is and how to disarm it! About that, see I was going to have a manicure on on Monday, so if I’m going to get any fishing in, it’s gotta be this week-end.
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down half of this wall and then go back to what you were doing before!
First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. Or maybe just going halfway there, same difference. We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. That’s also why we stop half way through.
FYWP!
Better to be me . . .

For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to somewhere in the Mid-West. I know your a busy man.
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

O say does that Star Spangled Bannnneeeerrrrrr still wave,
No it doesn’t? Well, that’s okay too.
And Good Night to you all.

RE: Teh Buttocks,
Whatever Obama was or wasn’t inspecting, Sarcozy is trying to etch dat ass on the back of his eyeballs.
Okay, I plead guilty to engaging with trolls here sometimes and I apologize. But this copypaste guy is really disruptive. Is there any way to enable limits on comment word count? There’s just no legitimate reason for anyone to ever make a comment over 7,500 words (the approx total of the “Is it wrong for me to talk about race?” comment above.)
@pedestrian:
I was so hoping that would equal to 100 percent.
4% math! Good Ghu, man!
Needs more BUTTOCKS!
And POOP. Always more POOP.
Do you live near Gaelic Park, B4?
Hurling porn. Includes footage of my father. Caution, comments section sadly filled with trolls from Cork and Kilkenny. DO NOT FEED THEM!
I was so hoping that would equal to 100 percent.
I was trying to keep it to 100, but I quit about 63% of the way through.
Now Spanish pronunciation is everywhere. On National Public Radio, every Mexican name gets a rolled “R” and flat vowels.
Never could roll my damn R’s. Four years of high school Spanish and I still speak it with the worst Middle-American accent you ever heard.

Yeah, except there, they’ll ban his ass, repeatedly if necessary, and given what we know of Troofy they’ll probably make a public execution of it too.

I think it’s pretty cut-and-dried what happened here. In the middle of a bunch of Palin-snark, a bunch of Palin supporters ran in here demanding racial purity and demanding that people attend their Klan rallies.
Bookmark this, libs!
No, seriously, bookmark this… might come in handy in a couple of years (ha!).
From the halls of Wasilla City Hall
To the shores of Prince William Sound
We will quit our country’s battles
On the sea, air, and frozen ground
First to quit for rightwing freedumb
And to keep our record clean
We are proud to claim the title
Of quitter of every elected office ever held
it’s funny when those people say “bookmark” because they don’t read books.
@pedestrian: needs more woodcut!
w00t!?? No sandwiches?
Needs more BUTTOCKS!
And POOP. Always more POOP.
As Poor Richard said in his almanac, take care of the Buttocks and the Poop will take care of itself.
I see our racist freak show Truthy has kept to his promise to never, ever come back; well, sort of, he doesn’t try and post his own words any more, because he knows he’s not in control of them any more, after he just gave up and showed exactly the sort of rage that means he stays inside all day for fear of being arrested after committing race-hate crimes (or sexual violence ones… is anyone all that surprised that he’s targeting openly female bloggers like Wonkette now?)
But this is why Sadly No, and most blogs for that matter need a registered user name system…. I know people are addicted to anonymity, and have a post modern ironic detachment from what goes on online, it’s easy to forget that some people really are as damaged as we suggest. From people cheering on people to overdose accidentally, or to deliberately commit suicide, to what may have been a murderer posting the whereabouts of the body of his victim to 4chan as a game, there’s some hyper-sick puppies out there. There really are. And whilst a registered name system won’t stop that, it will at least force the sickos to register and re-register every time their nymn is banned, slowing down the decay. Because folks, as it currently is, you cannot ban Teh Troofus because he’s just using open Proxies to keep coming back.
Now you the average snarker won’t have to worry about it. Register once, or 5 times if you really must. But Troofus is just opening a proxy list, changing his IP address, and coming back after being banned 5-10 times a day. As well as trolling multiple other blogs too. He’s a walking, hating, sexist racist machine. And the only way to protect any boundary you care for is to slow him down so he can do less damage per day. Because you know he’s building up to declaring he’s either raped or killed one you liberals.
I think Margaret and Helen hit the nail on the head when they said, “That woman’s a bitch.”
And whilst a registered name system won’t stop that, it will at least force the sickos to register and re-register every time their nymn is banned, slowing down the decay.
Meh.
Y’know, the last time the troll decided to get on his eugenics kick about selective breeding and supporting the stupid and lazy make the nation weak and effeminate, I ended up posting a link to a comic on a similar topic.
In the comic, there’s the line “More harm has been done by people panicked over societal decline than societal decline ever did.” I have the feeling your proposition would fall under this idea as well. Would it slow him down?
Maybe, although I personally suspect he’s as much propped up by regulars spoofing him than he himself is doing. But, then Sadly, No! would look like every other joint full of jackwads willing to go through the rigmarole just to bring up some concern troll bullshit.
Here, with a fundamental freedom unmatched elsewhere on the blogging community, we’ve gotten a nice little niche of smart folk with smart mouths. And I like that. Aside from the brief moments of ennui and tedium brought on by an em dash-filled paste spree, I even get a little charge out of killfiling the stupid little blights.
For the Sadlys-that-be. I don’t know how well it works, but if it does its job well, you’re gonna have one pissed-off Troofie on your hands.

What St. Trotsky said. Not that this would ever happen, but we don’t want this place to end up as the type of site where the mods say they’ve banned someone for using the word “guillotine” but actually ban them because they don’t show enough ass-kissing sycophancy for Atrios and his “inner circle.”
I was enjoying the hispanic erotica. More about honey-skinned, sloe-eyed latinos looking into my eyes, please.

Its the Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, El Salvadorans, and other assorted illegals.
well, the soccer would be better..
“But Troofus is just opening a proxy list, changing his IP address, and coming back after being banned 5-10 times a day”
Unfortunately, it’s even easier than that. Using TOR (the onion router) all you have to do is close your browser and re-open it and you get a new IP address.
He might even be delusional enough to think he can “take down” SN via trollflood (I’m sure he imagines mikey’s departure is a victory).
But our troll hurt somebody in real life? Not in a million years. This pathetic bastard is reduced to flailing about on the internet, smearing shit on the walls of an obscure snark blog because the commenters won’t take him seriously. This is not a person who is effective or self-actualized enough to actually get anything done in the real world.
In the comic, there’s the line “More harm has been done by people panicked over societal decline than societal decline ever did.”
Werd.
During the Late Cambrian, I was on a listserv that was much like the cast of regulars here– smart, edumacated people seeking mental refreshment though the delicate mixture of advanced post-doc punsmithing and POOP jokes. Along the way, we picked up a troll. Dude had serious problems– obsessive, paranoid, abusive, threatening– honestly, he made our little Troofy look like a fluffy bunny. Long story short, that joyfully absurd digital commune disintegrated [insert tiny tear]; not because of anything the troll did directly, but because of the over-reaction among the regulars over what to do about him.
Here’s my metric: If something the troll says gives me a chance to bring Teh Funnay– whether its by making fun of him directly or by using him as a proxy for right-wing bullshit generally– I say its all to the good and it doesn’t really disrupt what we come here for in the first place. Any response that proceeds from the notion that you’re gonna learn that stupid asshole a thing or two, or that in any way treats him as anything other than a source of comedy, that’s when you break the snark bubble and make the Baby SadNo cry.
Really, I was so looking forward to the Palin/Prejean ticket in 2012. When beuty pageant winners rule the world everyone will be beautiful or at least congenial.
Also, Mark Sanford is a race traitor!
But our troll hurt somebody in real life?
Well, there’s always self-harm, but honestly, I’m bent just enough that I can’t really find myself to break in and go, “no, don’t hang yourself” to someone that’s gonna go for it whether I say so or not.
I mean, I might ask them to not do it around my house, but that’s only because I don’t want to have to board up a room because someone died there.
Plus, when I gave up Catholicism, that “suicide’s a mortal sin!” stuff went right out of my wheel of morality.
well, the soccer would be better..
Obviously, the true danger will be that when the Greater Latin American Conglomeration takes place, the white man will no longer be allowed to call it “soccer” but football, as is proper and true.
And then we’ll have to call America’s football “rugby for pussies in pads and helmets”.
I know, terrifying, but really, it’s much prettier in Portuguese.
Registration sucks. Being able to change your nym is one of the most charming things about SN. Limiting comment length would be a good start, but what is really needed is community moderation of comments. That way you could see the best comments on a thread easily and ignore the worst ones. That would be cool to have beyond just getting rid of the troll.
This is something that could be grafted on to wordpress quite easily (I’d just do it all in javascript if I were doing it; wordpress plugins are even worse than wordpress itself.)

Is it a POOP sandwich?
justme – that absolutely DOES kick ass. BTW, I have an mp3 of “scuse my finGAHs” that you can add to it if you like, but becasue I’m computer illiterate and all I had to have my 10 year old nephew put it together. But I could email it to you.
She’s leaving on a snowmachine.
Let’s hope she don’t come back again!
Thanks. I’m always up for a good bit of audio. I just registered the relevant phrase, no caps or spaces, at yahoo so as to receive it. So, yeah, scusemyfingahs – yahoo.
I kinda wanted it a bit more choppy/Pythonesque. There’s a v.2 in there somewhere. I think I’d have to do it in Flash to put the audio to it, and I don’t know Flash from a hole in the ground. One way to learn, I suppose.
Oh, and a favorite woodcut, just to skew the stats.
Alice in Wonderland. I used to have one on my wall, twenty-some-odd years ago. The version on my wall had a pastel underprint that made the whole effect all the nicer.
You know that Mervyn Peake also illustrated Alice in Wonderland?
I went looking for Posada woodcuts of skeletons eating SAMMICHES, but no luck. Perhaps J– can help.
Nifty. I’ll have to look into that dude.

As Poor Richard said in his almanac, take care of the Buttocks and the Poop will take care of itself.
Surely you mean P00P Richard.
Not to be confused to “Poo Prichard”, as the anthropologist Evans-Prichard became known after the publication of his 1937 monograph on ‘Stercorarian Rites among the Azande”.
