Ask Not In Whose Mailbox The M-801 Kabooms
So maybe I’ve been off form with the fizzier, more rollickingly rowdy-dow writing in recent days — and I’m not saying that I haven’t.
But here’s a consideration: When was the last time you saw conservatives plan and execute a graffiti hit? When was the last time, moreover, you saw one that happened alongside a big, all-points media effort?
The answer is that you haven’t, because conservatives don’t do moonlight graffiti bombings in tandem with press campaigns.
Above: Shepard Fairey’s studio, Los Angeles, CA, September 14
Then again, remember the new wingnut dirty-tricks crews2 I was talking about?
Update: The photo comes from someone who gets good and prompt inside dish from both Acorn and Fairey, and who thinks the stenciling was a wingnut hit job. (Other instances of the stencil have appeared around LA.) This item at a local site, The Eastsider LA, makes it seem that it’s just Fairey being an annoying artfuck. Developments as they develop.
1 These equal a quarter of a stick of dynamite, and can easily blow off a finger!
2 More on the subject later, with links and context.
They had to get a new dirty-tricks crew since the last ones from the Nixon days all died.

Wait, Liddy’s still alive, kind of, isn’t he?
But they do have good penmanship, I’ll give them that.

Accordingly, from a gLibertarian interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, they should therefore be sold as prizes in cereal boxes so no one person gathers together enough to be a threat.

Has anyone seen the above Anderson Cooper clip? One of the organizer of the “million moron march” calls Obama a Muslim, welfare, racist, thug. Gergen’s jaw drops and Carville just can’t stop laughing. Good times.
That’s no acorn, that’s a teabagger’s PENIS!
What’s wrong with ACORN?
Awesome. But are we sure it’s not another Fairey art piece? It’s too well-excuted to be a wingnut piece.
And I’m calling fake – there ain’t no way that was a stencil
The new M-80s suck, unless you smuggle in the good ones from Mexico.
Uh, you gotta link to the Fairey tale? I mean, I could look it up, but since you got a photo, I figure you already have one.
And don’t let cranks pick on you. Form & substance have been just fine, w/o allowance for life occurring all around you.
Dude, that totally could be a stencil. I’ve seen Dobbs heads that are nice and crisp like that many times.
I ask because I’m w/ g on this, that Shepard is not to be trusted.
Wait, Liddy’s still alive, kind of, isn’t he?
Technically, I guess. The blood of a unicorn will keep you alive, even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price. You have slain something pure and defenseless to save yourself, and you will have but a half-life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your lips.
That font is very popular among Methodists. Just saying
Liddy is technically a thug.
Sure would be terrible for prostitutes if they had lawful protection.

In the coming glibertarian paradise, prostitutes will be able to hire their own protection.

Liddy, definitely, then.
Uh, you gotta link to the Fairey tale?
Well, there’s this from The Eastsider LA, a site that appears to have a beef with Fairey (or he has one with them). A commenter at WeAreSC says there’s another tag elsewhere.

Conservatives don’t do “graffiti,” silly. They yarp, barble, and send the funniest letters to the editor you’ve ever seen.
“In the coming glibertarian paradise, prostitutes will be able to hire their own protection.”
In the coming islamocommiesocialisto paradise, we will all have 72 virgin prostitutes paid for with tax dollars.
That’s a stencil. Seems like it was ret to go awfully fast.
Conservatives are definitely EXPERTS on Prostitution and Pimping.
Well, an artist’s studio and gallery space in East LA is a natural target for wingnuts because they obviously would have heard of the artist involved, just to begin with.
And if there’s one thing the poor and indigent who use ACORN are big on, it’s rich white people who coopt their art forms.
It’d be funny that wingnuts are falling for ACORN’s workers fucking with their people like they did, except that Congress is falling for it, too.
Social workers, and presumably ACORN volunteers, have to be good at recognizing obvious frauds.
I’m disappointed in Jon Stewart for falling for this crap, tho. He knows the Upright Citizens Brigade personally, he should be smarter than this.
ONCE OILY TAINT’S LAWSUIT AGAINST THE AFRICAN/INDONESIAN PRETENDER TO THE THRONE IS SUCCESSFUL, YOU DEMONCRAPS WILL BE HISTORY!!! I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE FEMA CAMPS YOU WERE PLANNING ON PUTTING HEARTLAND PATRIOTS IN, AS YOU’LL BE PROCESSED BY ACORN WORKERS ON YOUR WAY IN!!!
Wouldn’t it be funny if Obama turned out to be Mexican?

I for one think its very nice that Acorn is buying Hummers for homeless people. They can use them to get around to look for work and they are so big that they can even sleep in them comfortably.

Technically, it’s not in East LA, it’s in Echo Park, which is west of downtown.
Which is the only reason you might think it was done by Wingies – if it was in East LA, I don’t think they would dare to go there – they’d be afraid the Meksickin might rub off on them.
She’s just like Nelson Mandela!

Orly doesn’t like the judge
“Oh absolutely, absolutely,” she said. “Listen, Nelson Mandela stayed in prison for years in order to get to the truth and justice.”
And Taitz brushed off the possibility of sanctions. “I’m not afraid of sanctions. Because I know this is not frivolous. I know this is extremely important — the most important issue in this country today.”
“Judge Land is a typical puppet of the regime — just like in the Soviet Union,” she said.
Yeah, wasn’t it amazing how Obama got that judge in there, after only 9 months in office?

Here at Bimler Research Laboratories we are always on the lookout for new things to conceal within a prosthetic testicle. A commentor at Balloon Juice seems to be thinking along similar lines:
There damn well better be shuriken and exploding tests, though.

Recipes.
Rear Admiral Noyunhappiness Oscar’s Jellyfish Dumpling
I think I am a flavourless uncle at heart sometimes. Ok, the part of this meal that people really like is the hyena tentacle.
Ingredients:
1 jellyfish
1 gallon brick cheese
1 cup beer cheese, swirled
4 cans simple hyena tentacle
7 sticks cocoa
2 pounds unsweeted chocolate
The second thing you are going to want to do is let the jellyfish soften. I recommend cutting it into fucking heart-shapes to let it soften quicker. Then you are going to roll the beer cheese with the brick cheese out onto a 9 X 15 (roughly) cookie sheet. Bake the dough at 581 Farenheit. YOU MUST LET THIS COOL BEFORE PUTTING ANYTHING ON TOP OF IT. Let it cool for at least 1/2 hour. You can chop up that which remains unchopped while waiting for it to cool and make the jellyfish center. For the center, mix the hyena and the jellyfish. You can use Pope Grusky Closures-Oklahoma’s Wasp Fish Lung but hyena is better for this recipe as you want more of a taste. Mix it with a blender until it is very creamy and there are no lumps. Then add in the cocoa to the jellyfish mix. Spread the jellyfish mix over the cooled beer cheese bottom. I recommend putting it in dollups over the dough, so you can spread it around easier. Try not to touch the beer cheese bottom as you are spreading it. The reason why the beer cheese bottom has to be very cool is because otherwise it will start to lift up as you are spreading the beer cheese. Make sure to get all spots where the beer cheese shows. After this is done, sprinkle the cocoa on top. Don’t try cutting it until you have let it cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Before putting it in the refrigerator though, run a knife over the outside of the whole thing, so it is easier to get out later. If you try cutting it into slices before it is cool, the beer cheese and the jellyfish will run along the knife with you.
Sidecars are for wusses.
Try not to touch the beer cheese bottom as you are spreading it.
Is this an experiment to see how many Smut Triggers you can fit into a single sentence?
the beer cheese and the jellyfish will run along the knife with you.
Better I should run along the knife alone?
The Court quotes “Unlike Alice in Wonderland, simply saying something is so, doesn’t make it so.” There is also a dig, “even a junior high civics student would know . . . ” Awesome bitchslap by Da’Judge.
I watched beer cheese and the jellyfish run along the edge of a straight razor. That’s my dream, it’s my nightmare. Crawling, running along the edge of a straight razor and surviving.

When we lived in Bethesda, MD, there was a motorcyclist we’d see from time to time who rode with a helmeted cat, but his cat rode on a modified panier type rack. Your link worries me.

The Court also made Oily Taint’s client pay defendants (Da Army) legal fees.

I see room for an appeal on the grounds that Hizzonner the Judge cannot distinguish Alice in Wonderland from Hunting of the Snark.

Ha! Judge is Wrong! Notify Kerners!
Kerners are go!

Oh Nohs! Now its in the hands of the Roberts Court. The “Hunting of the Snark” has slayed the snarkers at Sadly No!. Irony still lives. It is dying, but it has not yet caught its last breath.
That might be it. This piece at a local Echo Park intelligencer called the Eastsider makes it look pretty fishy.
On the other side, the photo came from an involved party with connex to Fairey, so if it’s fake, people pretty close to the middle of the affair have been fooled.
Oh and ifthethunderdontgetya, shouldn’t they be”Kerners are a go!” Use the Queen’s motherfucking English for Crissakes like a good Crissakian.
“they” = “that”
Interestingly, mother-fucker and motherfucker are both correct according to spell check. Word to the wise and all that. Also your mother. Fuckers

Did someone say ‘recipes’?
Sorry, can’t contribute. Mac’n’cheese. Mustard powder, nutmeg and cayenne in the roux. Tillamook cheddar, a little Parm Regg. and a smattering of leftover Rogue River Blue.
Chix tits with a psuedo corn flake crumb (toasted corn tortilas, crushed, some sweet Hungarian paprika, a dash of smoked Spanish paprika, some crushed herbs, and probably some other shit I forgot. Dip in egg wash, dredge, bake. Bake the chix with the panko topped mac/cheese.
Steamed brocco with lemon butter.

NZ Symphony Orchestra performs Sibelius Symphonies #1 and #4 tonight (second of a four-concert Sibelius festival). OT so bite me.
Worst composer in the world!
I see your Sibelius and raise you one Gorecki.
Also, yeah, it’s cheap and easy but it’s _comfort food_, y’know?
Aaah, I’m jealous about the Sibelius. Fucking Finns.
I probably should have checked – in my advabncced dementia, things are often unclear despitee their clarity – Sibelius: Finn, Sweder, Norskeite? Whatever.
I kan hax nuther tini?
“Fucking Finns” is likely to offend the greatest number of Sadlynaughts so stick to that.

The Court didn’t award attorneys fees to the defendants, it awarded costs. Big difference. Next time she files suit, after being warned, they’ll likely award fees in the form of sanctions.
Ahhh, c’mon, guys, I’m sure the Republican dirty tricks squad has done a heck of a lot worse than this “12 Monkeys” job.

Aaah, I’m jealous about the Sibelius. Fucking Finns.
Was that an offer, PeeJ?
I mean, I do tend to swing the other direction, but you know us Finns…Tom of Finland and all….we have it in us.
Or rather, the other way around….
Oh, and Sibelius was a Finn, but his ancestry (based on his name and absolutely no research…I studied at the J Goldberg School of Yearnalism) is probably Lithuanian or Estonian.
Who are just Finns with a harder dialect.
And Smut? No one uses puukko knives anymore. Not butch enough. Now we use sissipuukko knives.
WOOTZ, bitches!
Bolero for the foreplay, moving on to Also Sprach Zarathustra, Beethoven’s 5th and then the 9th. Mahler’s 8th for orgies, Kindertotenlieder for onanism… hmm, you might need a bigger one.
FWIW I share scythia’s belief that the “graffiti” is Fairey’s own satire.
Or a Fairey hater calling him a hoo-er, for reasons other than (or in addition to) politics.
It is totally a Fairey fake. Too stylistically savvy and opportunistic to be anything else. I mean come on, it tell me it wasn’t designed by the guy that did this.

Concert was great but the Frau Doktorin had to sit on me during the 2nd Movement of teh 4th Symphony to stop me singing “Roland the Headless Thomson Gunner”. Is it my fault it’s the same riff?
Sibelius was a Finn, but his ancestry […] is probably Lithuanian or Estonian.
Swedish, if
Wikipediamy infallible memory is correct. Latinised surnames were fashionable among intellectual Swedish families at the time.Who are just Finns with a harder dialect.
I hope you don’t mean Lithuanian there (which is actually Sanskrit with a harder dialect).
Well, his family spoke Swedish, but that’s really not unusual for Finns to be Swedish conversant first, as we were owned by the Swedes for many years. Swedish was the aristocratic language and Finnish the prole language.
But the “ius” ending is unique to the Baltic states, which tells me he’s probably not either of direct Finn or Swede blood. It is possible his name was Swedish but the “ius” ending tacked on to De-Swede the name once the Russians took over in 1809.
Like I said, never did the research. The one thing I can say for certain is he’s THE Finn composer, penning not only the national anthem Finlandia, but the Kalevala symphony Kullervo.
Personally, growing up in a very nationalistic household, listening to Sibelius was on a par with being spanked.
I suppose Lithuanian is an Indo-Euro language, technically, but it shares Uralic roots with Estonian and Finnish, so it’s hard to call it strictly an Indo-Euro language like a Baltic or Slavic language
But the “ius” ending is unique to the Baltic states, which tells me he’s probably not either of direct Finn or Swede blood.
The only Swedish scientists I can think of right now are Arrhenius and Berzelius but there may be others…
Also notably non-Baltic: Paul Julius Möbius and August Ferdinand Möbius.
so it’s hard to call [Lithuanian] strictly an Indo-Euro language like a Baltic or Slavic language
You are so on dangerous ground, but Lettish not argue.
Linnaeus? Hullo?
But note the subtle change in spelling…
Teh Gazoogle advises me that “Governor [Kathleen] Sebelius’ husband Gary is the great grandson of a Christian Sebelius, who identifies SWEDEN SWEDEN SWEDEN as his birthplace in the 1900 Census”
