Also.

I say blame Nixon or Time magazine. Or both.

Stanislav Mishin’s post is some grade A wackyness, the man has no grasp of american or world history.

No wonder Don is attracted to his work.

Real democrats are outraged that this clown would call Hillary his “secretary” of state. What is she supposed to do, bring you coffee? This whole party has been taken over by sexist morons and don’t think we won’t vote Palin in 2012 if Hillary doesn’t get the nomination.

Inflammation of the foreskin is no laughing matter.

Circumcision would cure that, but to be clear: I AM NOT ADVOCATING A FORESKIN HOLOCAUST.

Shorter Don Bob: “Durrrrrr…”

call Hillary his “secretary” of state

Well, they called Kissinger that, too! How’s that sexist? Huh? Huh?

Pad my toasters, libs!

Anyone else notice that Czars are the kind of people who run countries through feudal obligations, and commissars are the kind of people who depose Czars and then shoot them in prison basements?

You’d think that people who spend so much time pining for the red menace of yore would, you know, pay attention to these differences. Just a thought.

Wait a sec, so you mean that Elvis and Michael Jackson weren’t literally kings in the traditional sense either? I just assumed that those titles were literal.

And all those guys in my hometown of San Francisco aren’t really queens???

Here’s the problem, right in the first sentence of the Russian’s post:

There is a new silliness in the Western Anglo Media, comparing the US Emperor’s Czar program to the number of Tsars that Holy Russia had.

So rather than think “silly author, that’s nothing new” the wingnut reaction is “Dah! Great find!”.

So does this mean we can’t call someone a “prince” of industry anymore? What about Count Basie? Duke Ellington?? Sirloin of beef????

Sigh.

The czars came first, then communism. Obama is just broadcasting his intent.

“The czars came first, then communism. Obama is just broadcasting his intent.”
Are you a PUMA or a commie-buster? Or- OR- are you maybe a full-of-shit wingnut? Hmm? Maybe? Maybe a little?

Now I want to hear “Der Kommissar”….

Don’t turn around, a-whoa-oh…

First they came for the secretaries, and I said nothing, because I was not a secretary…

Don Bob Billy Willy wants to know why none of Obama’s many advisors have never been seen keeping the sun out of the president’s eyes.

From Pravda, 8/22/2008:

George W. Bush, George H. Bush, Jeb, Neil, and Marvin Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condaleezza Rice, Karl Rove, Wolfowitz, Perle, Powell, Armitage, Ashcroft, Abrams, Adelman, Feith, Bolton, Libby, Kissinger, Mueller, Tenet, Goss, Giuliani, Hayden, Chertoff, Baker, and many hundreds of other individuals working for the White House, CIA, FBI, FEMA, the Pentagon, NSA, NORAD, the airline industry, and the US news media together planned and executed the 9/11 attacks. All of the above-named and their accomplices need to be tried for Treason and Mass Murder, with the death penalty as the just and very necessary reward for their conviction of those crimes.

I’m sure Surber agrees with every word of that.

I like the part where he talks about killing dudes (J00s, presumably). What were those names again?

err…make that ever, unless you’re down with double negativity.

Now I want to hear “Der Kommissar”….

I had the German version of that song around here at one point. Very amusing.

George W. Bush, George H. Bush, Jeb, Neil, and Marvin Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condaleezza Rice, Karl Rove… together planned and executed the 9/11 attacks.

Now I understand the “leftist predecessor” part.

I wish this were made up, but a relative of mine was asked by an acquaintance if Michael Jackson’s death meant that someone else now got to be “King of Pop,” and would there be a ceremony, because apparently he thought it was like a formal monarchical position and all.

I’m also totally put off the Caesar salad I was planning to have tonight, now that I know it’s only a Senator salad at best, being subordinate to the main course.

The Russian misspelled “Caesar”. Also.

if Michael Jackson’s death meant that someone else now got to be “King of Pop,”

Too late. I appointed myself “King of Pop” 3 weeks ago.

That’s how it’s done, right?

a relative of mine was asked by an acquaintance if Michael Jackson’s death meant that someone else now got to be “King of Pop,”

There is some confusion on that point. Madonna is a strong contender for dauphine, and seems to have already named Britney Spears as her successor. However, if Salic Law is applied, it could become very complicated.

Then there is the question of the coup a few years ago.

I do think that Karl Rove made a good Rasputin though.

Yeah, except Karl Rove will stay dead.

Waste bullet on your Karl? Feh! American is one McDouble away from going into the cardiac arrest anyway.

The King of Poop is all that matters.

reportering.

yeah except Karl Rove will stay dead.

Not as far as I can see, he keeps reappearing, that’s exactly what I was thinking of.

Oh and “sent from my phone” which erased my nick. Sheesh.

American press refusink to report it because callink executive branch appointees “Czar” is invention of American press (in fact should of course be Energy Tsar, Drug Tsar, and so forth), not President. “Czar” is informal title created by media; your so-called “Energy Czar” really is “Assistant to President for Energy and Changink of Climate”, “Drug Czar” is “Director of Some Policy or Other” and so forth. So “Pravda” (not *real* Pravda, of course) is correctink wrong person. And really they might as well argue that since there is Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense and so forth that Obama creates a Secretariat. And not like inspirink horse that is racink, but rather as in Secretariat vs Politburo.

Breaking: Liberals try to tie use of “-Gate” to Nixon.

Er, is not one of Michael Jackson’s children named Prince Michael? It seems he would logically be heir apparent to the Throne of Pop. Of course, since he’s only ten years old there would probably need to be some kind of Regent of Pop for a while.

I wish this were made up, but a relative of mine was asked by an acquaintance if Michael Jackson’s death meant that someone else now got to be “King of Pop,” and would there be a ceremony, because apparently he thought it was like a formal monarchical position and all.

I fear we’re heading into a Pop Interregnum. To ensure order, someone may well assume the powers of the Lord Protector of Pop.

Yet some have proposed a Pop Republic, contending that the powers granted to the King of Pop have returned once more to the people. You know, the Vox Populi.

Another possibility is outright schism: Avignon Pop.

Pravda is the new Daily Mail.

Janet did a pretty good job running the Rhythm Nation.

All great institutions pass through a Babylonian Captivity at some point in their history. There’s no reason the Jacksonian Monarchy should be any different.

At least now Don can go apeshit on the leftist predecessor for saying nukuler all the time.

Meanwhile, since I live here in the frigid wastes of Minneapolis, Nate Silver has thrown down the gauntlet on Assrocket:

John Hinderaker at the popular conservative blog PowerLine reports that it’s been cold, cold, cold in his home town of Minneapolis, Minnesota, going to far as to compare it with “The Year Without a Summer”, 1816, when global temperatures were abnormally low as a result of the eruption of Mount Tambora:

He has challenged global warming denialists to a bet. So far no big name takers.

Oops

A Challenge to Climate Change Skeptics

I really hope Hindrocket take him up on it.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead

But his spirit lives on.

Er, is not one of Michael Jackson’s children named Prince Michael?

Both sons are. Heir and a spare.

It would be kind of cool to rename all these “Czar” positions as “Caesar” — the Drug Caesar, the Iraq Caesar. Very imperial and thrilling. Kraphammer and Kristol Jr. might get real exciterated.

Holiday tip for Smut Clyde:

Should you encounter any members of Antifa, it is advised to show them a picture of the Doughy Pantload, and then to inform them that he says they are Fascists.

This action will accumulate you American Milk Solid Council coupons to be redeemed at a later date.

@El Cid: I heard J. Edgar Hoover appointed a Little Caesar to wiretap Malcolm X’s family.

Er, is not one of Michael Jackson’s children named Prince Michael?

Both sons are. Heir and a spare.

I am very disappointed that his daughter is not named Princess Michaela.

MJ died five self-named children behind George Foreman.

I guess this means that my brilliant plan to fix everything by appointing a czar czar to oversee all the bureaucratic czars will be liable to pedantic grammar-lady nitpicking and therefore won’t work.

Drats, I just posted that on one the WH internet suggestion thingees.

How about we go with ‘Mandarins’ instead. For example, we could have a ‘buggywhip’ Mandarin who would fix the industry, through inscrutable wisdom.

OT, but trying to be helpful here. I was catching up with posts, and saw tigrismus having a problem with Linux.

tigrismus, did you ever get the write permissions thing fixed? What are the permissions on the root directory? Some versions of *nix carry permissions of parent dirs downward. I don’t know about Ubuntu. It might be a simple problem of all dirs having ownership of root and being non-writable (x, not w, on dirs) by the world.

I guess this means that my brilliant plan to fix everything by appointing a czar czar to oversee all the bureaucratic czars will be liable to pedantic grammar-lady nitpicking and therefore won’t work.

Maybe you can get insurance for that.

No, alas, not fixed. Permissions all seem to be set properly, ownership seems to be right, it’s really odd. Thanks so much for responding, though. I think he’s given up for now; he rebooted into windows and then went for a workout.

Also, I think we should have “wallahs”

Run the command “who am i” to find out your userid. Run “mount” to see if the partition has some kind of weird ro mount. You can also test by creating a zero userid that is not named root in /etc/passwd and see if that userid can write. Try a mknod or other setuid command like mkdir to see if they work.

I have more suggestions if these don’t work….

Perhaps you are thinking of a different website….

Do any of them involve a pencil and paper?

Well dangit, I wish he were here. I know he created a new non-root user and it didn’t work either, can’t speak to any of the rest. I’ll tell him as soon as he gets back and let you know if it works.

My three schismata. Let me show you them.

Another possibility is outright schism: Avignon Pop.

Ah, I can’t wait to uncork my first bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pop.

No they don’t.

Tig beat me to it. I think wallahs would be the best non-denominational alternative.

Should you encounter any members of Antifa, it is advised to show them a picture of the Doughy Pantload, and then to inform them that he says they are Fascists.

I got the impression that (a) there are still a lot of people who had relatives who died defending the Republic against the fascists, and (b) it would be a mistake to explain to them that because fascism is a left-wing movement, those dead relatives must have been right-wing.

Sur le pop d’Avignon

The Spanish rightwing Partido Popular identifies itself by the initials ‘PP’?! Good choice!

and (b) it would be a mistake to explain to them that because fascism is a left-wing movement, those dead relatives must have been right-wing.

By George, I think you’ve hit on something there. Perhaps someone can set Teh Pantload up with a book tour in Spain. What could possibly go wrong?

Surely POOP da big nomnomnom.

Appropriately enough, the Republican Party is a few months away from being to the American political process as Spain is to world politics.

being to the American political process as Spain is to world politics.

Hey now. Unfair to Spain, they may not be the biggest player but at least every time their name comes up people don’t just start laughing.

I was looking at it as a kind of Goldberg Vaccination project 🙂 I’m sure that militant anti-fascists would welcome a ‘lively’ debate with the Pantload.

justme said,

Exactly, justme, and then after Spain, I propose a tour of Italy where Goldberg can explain to the ‘New Falanges’ (who are specificly targeting the Roma) that they are leftists, and possible communists.

After all, he’s spent too much time in his Moms’ basement, a trip to widen his horizons would surely be beneficial 😉

Some versions of *nix carry permissions of parent dirs downward. I don’t know about Ubuntu. It might be a simple problem of all dirs having ownership of root and being non-writable (x, not w, on dirs) by the world.

Having no idea what the whole story is here, let me just remind you not to forget about the “sticky bit”. And SELinux rules, which can block certain processes writing to certain files in certain places despite having the right file system permissions… (if it’s an SELinux thing, you’ll get an alert in /var/log/messages to that effect. Fedora/Red Hat now comes with a lot of SELinux crap baked in, but I don’t think Ubuntu does.)

Goldberg variations = how many different countries Dough Bob can visit, piss off, and be run out of for his magnum dope-us.

Attention all hungry Russian fishermen! Please enlist now, report to Baykonur Cosmodrome and man the NATO-SCO mission to Alpha Centauri, the presumed home of the squeaking alien terrorists.

Re: The King of Pop

I keep flashing on that episode of Mad About You where Paul Reiser and his assistant (Steven Wright) were making a short documaentary about a guy who called himself “The King of Scat.”

REISER: So you can just unilaterally declare yourself the King of Scat?

WRIGHT: Yes. Yes you can.

REISER: But then what if somebody else declares himself the King of Scat?

WRIGHT: Then they joust.

I think this is the best solution to the problem.

To whit
Mr Boo Hoo Beck

If you’re a real red-blooded American, you won’t have ridiculous little problems like not having a job, or not having health care. Hell, you most likely won’t even get sick unless you get infected with something from the huddled masses of folks who are far below you on the evolutionary and entitlement scales.

So if you can’t make it, it’s evidence of your personal inferiority and failings. Real Americans have jobs, have great health care (the best! USA! USA! USA!), never lose their homes, and PAY TOO MUCH IN TAXES!

Yes we do, we pay TOO MUCH! And it makes us mad, mad, mad, because we know that most of that tax money is going directly to handouts to the people who just aren’t good enough to make it here.

We hate that, especially since we know that the people who can’t make it here don’t belong here in the first place. They’re wrong on some level, some off brand, wrong color motherfuckers ought to go back home and quit sucking off the big teat of America.

We’re sick of America the melting pot. We want 50 little states so the smart states can decide that we’re just not going to put up with nonsense like integration and allowing rabble rousing women and those offbrand folks to vote, messing shit up and all.

So to answer you question, we’re not necessarily against the poor having access to healthcare. We’re just against the poor. Being poor is evidence of personal failure. That’s all. If you work hard enough you’ll succeed. End of story. And if you don’t succeed, you’re just a leech and the world would be better if you were . . . oh, I’ll just tell it like it is: poor people would be better off dead. That would clear out about 90% of the folks in the world and we’d be happy as hell about that.

Rephrasing to the audience’s level:

MY GOD! THE US IS A ZOMBIE HERMAPHRODITE!

Your communist President is gonna cause our great Nation to crash and burn. His leftwing economic policies are bringing us into another depression. The communists have been in control of the American government since 2006 and in these three short years have caused unspeakable damage to our National Presitige.

The Democratic party is really the American Communist Party, by using the name Democrat they make themselves appear trustworthy to an ignorant American citizenry. Obama’s regime is part of a global communist conspiracy designed to establish a one world government. The European Union was the first step in this global conspiracy, the next step is the North American Union.

Ask yourself this, why is our government doing nothing about illegal immigration? Three words, North American Union.

So Donbo, alles klar, herr kommissar?

All I am going to say is that communist is not a good way to go even though it sounds as it is but it isn’t. It’s not good for the people it’s not good for the country, a bad idea to start it up again, not saying you are just speaking. I really think that God wouldn’t want people to be communist or even have it around because I say it is the Devil’s evil little plan to make a Great Nation with people that are free to fall and crash not just speaking about our self.

Tex said,

All I am going to say

Well, good.

You should read “The Acts of the Apostles”, Tex, paying especially close attention to chapter 4.

It’s not good for the people it’s not good for the country

Sounds like American capitalism, which has never done anything for the “people” or the “country” except for the elites.

Well, Tex, if God didn’t want people to be communist she probably could have done something about it. The rest of your message appears to have been garbled.

Are you saying czars are communist? Shirley you’re being tsarcastic.

Fundraising is so pitiful for the right wing, they’re outsourcing to Indonesia.

Tex, chapter 4 is communism, plain and simple. If God approves of people having no personal possessions but instead having all things in common, wouldn’t a Godly government try to adhere to God’s will? God’s approval of communism is certainly clearer than any opposition He may or may not have to abortion.

brussels sprouts with cilantro

The wonderfulness of cilantro may counteract the awfulness of the sprouts. Or vice versa.

Some of us like brussel sprouts.

And broccoli, although in the latter case it really helps to either A) be steamed with chikky or B) lighty battered & deep-fried.

Some of us like brussel sprouts.

MONSTERS.

you just haven’t had brussel sprouts prepared by the right person.

Tex is right. What you liberals fail to realize is that Christ commanded his disciples to engage in private acts of charity, He did not command that the authorities should force people to share their possessions which is what the communists would have you to believe.

God gave all of us free will, with the ability to chose between right and wrong. Salvation is a free gift which we are free to choose or reject. God doesn’t force His people to do anything. He created us with free will because He loves us and wants us to willingly serve Him.

How the good and virtuous eat Brussel’s Prouts:

Get the fresh ones, see, then wash the buggers and cut them in half. Heat up a little olive oil in a pan, throw a minced clove of garlic or two in the oil and sautee them until they’re soft and turning golden brown on the bottoms. Eat with a new appreciation of prouts.

That NuPravda is like the Weekly World News, only not nearly as funny, is well-established. What I wanna know is, how did you create that p-shop of Don without projectile-vomiting out your liver?

“Tex” is some serious weak-sauce troll. Ganging up on someone like that is like sand-blasting a soup-cracker.

I have to endorse Mr. Coelacanth’s recipe, though I would replace some or all of that olive oil with bacon fat/lard.

Lard is not nearly as bad for you as people would have you believe. It has less saturated fat (and twice as much polyunsaturated “good fat”) as butter.

Weighing in on Brussels sprouts: Sure, anything is good sauteed with butter, lard, salt, garlic, etc. You could serve grass clippings that way. The trick is to find good, fresh ones, steam them just right so that they taste good with just a dash of salt, or maybe a little wine vinegar. Man I could tuck into a whole platter of that! Of course, I wouldn’t recommend taking a long car trip with me the next day…

“Act chapter 4 is privaite act of charity”

That’s what Ananias and Sapphira thought in Ch.5. Boy, were they wrong!

Sure, anything is good sauteed with butter, lard, salt, garlic, etc.

True enough, but there is a special magic to the combination of dark greens (brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, seaweed, etc.) and pork by-products that goes waaaaay beyond “everything tastes good fried”.

Pork and seaweed soup is pretty much the greatest thing ever… next to brussels sprouts & bacon fat, hamhocks and collard greens, and so forth. All of which is central to my point, not to mention my big fat ass.

Oh, and as far as serving up grass clippings, there’s nothing that compares to some fresh dandelion greens. It’s ridiculous how much trouble Americans go to to poison and kill something so delicious.

You could serve grass clippings that way.
