Hey! Look over there!

Blanche is toast, correct?

Good. Won’t cry for her, or Ben Nelson.

I demand that either Ben or Bill Nelson change their surname. It’s been confusing me for like the past eight years.

Voter anger is building on issues beyond ObamaCare. The large group of people already angry over runaway spending and ObamaCare are now being joined by those angry at the EPA for moving forward with controls on greenhouse gases without congressional action — and without considering the economic impact on the economy. Like the Tea Party movement, this group cuts across geographical and political lines.

A bipartisan mix of eighteen governors signed a letter to congressional leaders last week. This move is supported by Washington Democrats such as Senator Jay Rockefeller and the Democrat congressmen from the eastern coal mining region. Rockefeller is calling for a two-year suspension of EPA greenhouse gas regulations. The co-sponsors in the House include Nick Rahall and Alan B. Mollohan, also of West Virginia, and Rick Boucher of Virginia. Several Republican congressmen and senators are in favor of similar legislation.

Mining, oil, and manufacturing are not the only industries that are raising the alarm about an EPA in pursuit of its own agenda (and to hell with the economic consequences). I keep RFD-TV on as background noise most mornings. Almost every news show on the cable channel for rural America features Agribusiness interests concerned that the EPA’s efforts in this area will have a deep impact on their costs. Dairy and pork producers are particularly concerned, as they are already suffering from major drops in demand in 2008 and 2009.

On a drive across rural Wisconsin last fall, I was struck by the large number of white barns and milking sheds standing empty where there were once huge herds of Holsteins. Many farmers are wondering why they ever elected Democrats to Congress in the first place. They certainly didn’t think it would mean being strangled to death by regulations that would meet the approval of the likes of Robert F. Kenndy, Jr., the intellectual giant who thinks hog farmers are a greater threat to America than al-Qaeda.

A Charleston, West Virginia Daily Mail editorial says that Congress should listen to states on the EPA.

“As governors, we have the responsibility to protect jobs, promote economic growth and mitigate any threats to financial stability in our states,” said the statement. “We oppose EPA regulation of greenhouse gases that fails to account for these responsibilities.

“[The agency] is not equipped to consider the very real potential for economic harm when regulating emissions,” the governors said. “Without that consideration, regulation will place heavy administrative burdens on state environmental quality agencies, will be costly to consumers and could be devastating to the economy and jobs.”

The editorial ends with this warning: “The governors speak for their people’s interests and from their experiences in the real world.”

Congressmen need to stand up as well, or constituents will find new people who do.

Since Pelosi and Reid haven’t listened to any practical political advice since January 2009, I suspect that they will continue to march to the beat of their own political drum — and straight to the blade of a political guillotine. Perhaps cartoonist Michael Ramirez will soon need to add another belt of dynamite labeled the EPA to his controversial cartoon.

I hate to ruin this love fest, but there’s something equally humorous across the border from y’all in that communist country to the north.

Kathy Shaidle ‘invite’ to University of Western Ontario students regarding Ann fucking Coulter’s visit there.

You may be happy you shoved this through but let me tell YOU something, libs, let me tell YOU something! Thend the TEA Party Movement is really going to pull out all the fucking stops now! We’re going to use everything in power to stop the rest of Obama’s Agenda. ANY MEANS! So fuck you, fuck you for trying to destroy America, we have to spread the word that Obama is trying to turn us into a totalitarian European nanny-state.

WE WONT LET YOU!!!!!!

Did somebody leave a window open? Because a huge old load of copypasta came flying in here and I didn’t hear a truck going by.

What?

No, but srsly, we all fucking hate Holstein cows around here. You’ll get no sympathy from us. Fucking Holsteins, man. Hate em.

Speaking of cows, HOLY COW, Fatty McTroof just laid down the GAUNTLET, man. I can’t stop trembling like a tiny little baby girl! Some kind of shit is going to happen, and it’s going to be the kind where somebody doesn’t let you.

I love this, two trolls and the thread all to myself.

Ben Nelson, dickhead-Nebraska:

Two years later, Bush had introduced a second tax-cut package, this one entitled The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. That too was passed through reconciliation with Nelson’s vote proving even more critical. The Nebraskan was one of only two Democrats to back the measure, giving it exactly the 50 votes needed to become law (Vice President Dick Cheney voted yea to break the impasse).

Don’t worry, St. Trotsky, Pope-in-Avignon. I think this fvcker is on the way out, too.

I tried to take over while you were on the crapper. Forgot you had a netbook.

Primaries are the V-2 of Liberal Faschizm.

PROTIP: don’t make the same dumb mistake Hitler made – use them on the biggest & baddest Blue Dog soldiers, not their more moderate civilians … & subtly hint that perhaps the more reasonable among them may be spared if they opt to join the reality-based community. Nothing clears the head quite like the prospect of tons of high-explosive crashing down on one’s head at Mach 20 in the morning.

Blanche is a premiuim high-value target.

We’re going to use everything in power to stop the rest of Obama’s Agenda.

And if the teabaggers had anything in power, that might mean something.

Seriously, liberals, you have awakened a sleeping giant. You know not what you have done!

The producers, patriots, Christians, libertarians, and other Americans are going to rise up against the illegals, leftists, Socialists, moonbats, faggots, and moochers. You won’t win!

We’re going to use everything in power to stop the rest of Obama’s Agenda. ANY MEANS

Any means?

The Internet, of course.
Telephone lines too.
Radio and cable as well!

Probably going to use the Interstate Highway system?

ooh, and electricity fer shure.

Any all means to stop Obama’s Socialist agenda!

I love this, two trolls and the thread all to myself

Don’t get all frisky or nothin’.

YOU will be responsible for all the BLOODSHED and VIOLENCE when the WHITE WAVE washes this nation clean from all the colored European MURDER KILL! DEATH!!! RAGE AND ANGER!!!! I may be kind of old and the diabetes is a hassle but I will still get up out of this chair and shuffle my FOOT UP YOUR COLLECTIVE ASSES you FAGGITTY FAGGIT ASSHOLE PECKERSTUMP BEEF CURTAINS ANTICHRIST OBAMMY BARRY O’ COONSKIN YAAAAARRRRGHGHGHGH!

Also, I know everyone expected nothing less, but hey Troofie: Whatever happened to the Great Liberal Freakout, part 2? What ever happened to Pelosi not having the votes? What ever happened to DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD? What ever happened to wicked wiles, illicit styles-oops, excuse me. Anyhoo, it’s nice that you’re able to take defeat so graciously, assuming that last night wasn’t spent cutting yourself, rending thy garments, and asking God how he could allow people who disagree with you to exist?

Nelson. Guh. Not so much that he has to be wrong- and he is very, very wrong about many, many things- but the damn ubiquity he insists upon whenever he gets in that mood.

I note that Doofus isn’t asking us to bookmark anything anymore.

That is probably the saddest thing about National Kick Repig Ass Day, which is how March 21st will be known in the future.

The last post was a spoof. I do not advocate bloodshed or violence. Any NON VIOLENT means,.

This will be like when Communism was overthrown in Eastern Europe!

You bastards! I could have handled both trolls. I could have — well, it’s a moot point now. Fuck it.

Concerning Troofy, honestly…don’t think any of these versions are the real thing.

“The last post was a spoof. I do not advocate bloodshed or violence. Any NON VIOLENT means,.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh sorry, immodest laughter. It’s just been such a funny day, my life what a laugh I’ve had.

You know not what you have done!

Have we unleashed the Balrog from the depths of Moria? Flame and shadow! Psycho driver! Wait, wrong Balrog.

DJ, why harsh my mellow? I so want this to be troofie. I mean everybody on here is so goddamned clever they can imitate trolls pitch-perfectly, even down to the spelling, sometimes I worry there are no trolls, it’s just Gavin or somebody giving us fake trolls to drive traffic to the site. I want this troll to be real.

Huzzah!

Wait, damn, still the wrong Balrog.

I’ll get it right soon enough.

You know not what you have done!

I think I know what somebody’s done. In his trousers.

This is the real Truth.

And I’m mad. Really mad. FUCKING MAD! And so are a lot of other conservatives, patriots, capitalists and TEA Party members.

I think Troofy isn’t really a person. More of a concept. A platonic idea, if you will.

Spammypasta, on the other hand, no one on this board would be heartless enough to imitate. And go to Yglesias’ place and spam the same shit.

And FYWP.

Forget the copypasta and go straight for the roast beef!

And I’m mad. Really mad. FUCKING MAD!

One might even say the Great Troofus Freakout is on. Bookmark it, libs.

Yeah, I call fake troll. Ever so slightly too impotent, if that’s possible. Troof always backs his threats up with more threats, not mere statements of irritation.

Note these useful items:

My cousin’s dog had that once. We had to pull him off Dragon-King’s mom like six or seven times before he’d stop.

Like we’re all in a cave and the fire is casting shadows against the wall so all that we see are shadows. And in those flickering imperfect images, you think you can make out a person – having a shadow puppet of a PENIS being driven repeatedly into his skull. That skull is troofus, and the PENIS is S,N!

“Like the Tea Party movement, this group cuts across geographical and political lines.” I love this meme. The teabaggers comprise republicans and other republicans who are so far ultra-right they don’t call themselves republicans. It’s not a centrist movement, it’s the John Birch Society. Literally.
And troofie, quoting the Charleston Daily Mail doesn’t get you anywhere. That’s Don Surber’s paper. There are two papers in Charleston and the Mail is well know as the afternoon wingnut screed. The older and much more respected paper is the Charleston Gazette, which has editorialized for 15 years against Mountaintop removal. And it was a conservative republican judge, Charlie Haden, who shut down Mountaintop removal permits for a while back in the 1990s, while the UMW was literally marching around the Robert C, Byrd Federal Courthouse. I know, I was there, I saw it from the window of my 12th floor law office in One Valley Square.
But stick around. You’ve been wrong about everything you’ve ever said here (even to the point that “bookmark it libs” has become a favorite saying here) and it’s amusing, although admittedly cruel to laugh at a retarded loser like you.

You have ideas that oppose the things I was told! How come is that? Because you are bad, like other people that are different!

I will be back on Sunday, liberals, when it will be clear even to you that there will be no Rose Garden ceremony. There will be no further government benefits to parasites and looters, no Obambicare–oh, and I’m AFRAID there will be no bounce in the polls for Obama either!

See you then, libs!

*smirks*

having a shadow puppet of a PENIS being driven repeatedly into his skull.

Damn, all I can do with shadow puppets is make a bunny or a doggy.

I don’t recall seeing a photograph of Blanche Lincoln before. He’s a very handsome man.

What we’re going to do, liberals, is set up a coalition of opposition to the tyranny of the federal government. An insurgency, if you will. One that will embrace all factions of the right wing, together with patriotic liberals like Glenn Greenwald and Jane Hamsher and Michael Moore. And then we will begin to take back the Republic.

New! Now with Badgers and autopsy!

Only White Riot worth clickin’, beaches!

To be fair, they seem to have picked up some other groups like the truthers, but crazy is kind of a field unto itself.

B-b-but troll, Michael Moore is fat. How will you preserve real American values with a person that’s fat?

Ferris Bueller’s bitchy sister was really hot in that movie. If all I have to do is yell “Wolverines” and carry around a valuable hunting knife to have a shot at her, I’m game.

I’m setting up a coalition of people willing to pull my finger. We’re going to ride up and down in busy elevators all day.

Fat, fat, fatty, fat FAT!

“And I’m mad. Really mad. FUCKING MAD! And so are a lot of other conservatives, patriots, capitalists and TEA Party members.”

Too bad the niggers, spics and democrats outnumber you even more than we did in 2000. So get mad. You and Kenny Cuccinelli come on out and get it on!

The British outnumbered the colonists, too.

WE are the New Founding Fathers, the New Patriots of the Second American Revolution!

Go on.

I am going to do something a moment, libs, that will make you really mad.

Please in the name of Christ let these idiots actually start with the civil disobedience. I would shit myself laughing if I could see these teabaggers actually facing soldiers with rifles, tanks, tear gas — can you imagine?? It’s a pity this will never happen, ’cause, damn.

So, you’re not actually the silent majority, the ones that surround us? Gosh, between this an your willingness to align yourself with MichaelmooreisFAT, you’re just full of surprises today.

“I am going to do something a moment, libs, that will make you really mad.”

Yeah, Martian, but for ever Orly Tait type they pick up, they alienate 50 republican grandmothers. By November, they will look so crazy we may actually pick up a few seats. Ain’t nobody but the crazies buying any tickets to those “Baby Killer!” and “Let’s go to the bullet box!” shows

I am going to do something a moment, libs, that will make you really mad.

Oh, is it time for our comparison to Jimmy Carter in your petulant descent into madness? Yay.

God, this is delicious. I’m such a dick, but I so enjoy the fist-shaking.

CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll. March 19-21, 2010
“As you may know, the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate are trying to pass final legislation that would make major changes in the country’s health care system. Based on what you have read or heard about that legislation, do you generally favor it or generally oppose it?” If oppose: “Do you oppose that legislation because you think its approach toward health care is too liberal, or because you think it is not liberal enough?”

Favor: %39
Too Liberal Oppose: %43
Not Liberal Enough Oppose: %13

=> %52 vs %43

Parody troll fail.

Bring back fake Gary.

No, not Jimmy Carter. Obama is no longer Jimmy Carter, Carter was incompetent, while Obama is downright dangerous to our survival as a free people.

Guess, liberals. It’s something you really, really hate.

The Patriots were never more than a third of the population.

Glenn Beck today pointed out that the Bolsheviks, at best, were 13% of the population of Tsarist Russia. Yet they had a tremendous impact on history. Think about it!

I might see if I can lure some people over here from the wingier sites. We could set up actual troll traps. These trolls are so sophisticated they’ve ceased to be trolls.

My wife works in a small firm, with 2 resident wingnuts and 1 Libertarian in her immediate area (the rest are sane people).

She went in to work today, expecting a shitstorm. Guess what happened.

All three of them were in favor of the bill passing – after the fact, of course. It’s the old “Americans love a winner” effect at work, plue the “26-year old child can get coverage” plank that sold them.

The remaining True Believers, like Doofus, have quite an uphill battle ahead of them. I suggest reading Don Quixote a few dozen times to learn how to tilt at windmills in the most effective way.

It’s something you really, really hate.

Reagan?

Yes, sad to admit it, but fake troll. Darn.

For fucks sake.

Is it ME?

Do they follow me?

Or do you poor fucks live with this idiocy day in and day out?

Oh, oh, wait, I know. Jesus!

No matter what you may believe about one or two AGs suing the federal government, the y are certainly not alone in suggesting this bill is unconstitutional. For those who can’t or refuse to be informed, currently 38 States are moving in that direction in some manner.

Maybe they would be better directed to call for a constitutional convention to settle once and for all (or at least another couple hundred years) whether the federal government, in moving towards socialism, is usurping States (and individual) rights; and moving our country from our foundation.

This administration has, in barely over a year, spent us to the point of bankruptcy, taken away individual freedoms, placed undue and illegal burdens on the individual States.
It is not enough that they want to bankrupt the federal government, they want to take the States down with them; not a far path to trod given that the most liberal States have already reached (and surpassed) that goal.
As has been stated many times “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money”; we are all too close to that reality (California, N.Y. etc.. have accomplished that goal).

States cannot print money (thank God); therefore all the “mandates” from this bill will be another burden on the backs of our citizens. I believe the legislature should divide the costs equally amongst the citizenry and let everyone feel the sting of the federal government’s continued excesses. Only then may those who support these abuses finally realize the true costs. It is easy to sit back and watch somebody else’s ox get gored; I would be happy to read the posts of those who must also suffer when theirs are being bludgeoned.

Unlike most of the leftist protests; the tea party rallies have been peaceful, the accounts from yesterday have been decried by all thinking individuals. There is no proof that those folks were “tea party” members.
When SEIU members beat and stomp peaceful protesters, when “black panthers” stand armed with clubs in front of polling places we hear nary a whimper.

Hypocrisy? You decide.

Finally, the saddest moment from last night came as Stupak (and his crew) were forced to surrender their souls for not “thirty pieces of silver” but for a vote against the American people.

Ultimately, these abuses by government can not and will not stand; the courts will decide, the States will decide, or the American people will decide.

History has taught us this truth time and again.

Is it ME?

This is a pretty recent outbreak.

Not Jesus — too Jewish. I think he’s going to PROMOTE VACCINATION! Because us libs all hate that.

Please in the name of Christ let these idiots actually start with the civil disobedience. I would shit myself laughing if I could see these teabaggers actually facing soldiers with rifles, tanks, tear gas — can you imagine?? It’s a pity this will never happen, ’cause, damn.

Don’t forget all those nifty new toys that the riot police have, like sonic cannons, microwave projectors, and laser dazzlers. The teabaggers have 50 years interest due on all the bad karma they racked up in the 60s, after all.

Was that it? Color me disappointed. I can’t really work with that. It’s not interesting enough.

Got anything else?

thirty pieces of silver… I was right, it was Jesus! Shows you, Spengler!

Is it leave us hanging? Just do it already

I’d like any liberal to TRY to point out anything wrong in the statement I made above.

How about Jenny? What about Jim? How about Badger? Where are you , Badger?

Not you, Martian. I was talking to the fake imitation troll copy.

Yeah, imagine the ass-liquefaction cannon fired at a bunch of 60-year-old guys in golf shorts. Blooey.

thirty pieces of silver… I was right, it was Jesus! Shows you, Spengler!

Dammit! I had Harvey the Rabbit cued up, but the stool dropped too soon.

I know the one thing that Liberals hate most of all – when teabaggers hit themselves on the head with large hammers.

The usual response of any Liberal who hears of that happening is crying, repentance of his socialist follies, and joining the next Tea Party.

ROOOOAARRR!!!! Are you scared, LIBS? ROOOOOAAARRR!!! Are you scared NOW?

Damn you people, wait a minute, I’m getting the rubber spider. We’ll see how much TERROR you can HANDLE!!!!

It’s something you really, really hate.

you brought some lutefisk?

Nigger.

That’s right, liberals, I said it: Nigger. NIGGER. N-I-G-G-E-R.

Mad yet?

BOTTOM HOLE!

No. You should say it in the middle of Harlem though. That’ll make us real mad.

VAGINA!!!!

I’m actually Josh Marshall.

It’s something you really, really hate.

disco? kreplach? leisure suits? kenny g?

ESKIMO! CHINK! GUANO!

I’m actually Josh Marshall.

Should I know who that is?

Glenn Beck today pointed out that the Bolsheviks, at best, were 13% of the population of Tsarist Russia. Yet they had a tremendous impact on history. Think about it!

So…wait. You just got through admitting that you aren’t the majority, so…your guys are the Bolsheviks, now? When, by way of Goldberg, you get back around to being fascists, I’m sure you’ll let us know.

The last post was a spoof. I do not advocate bloodshed or violence. Any NON VIOLENT means,.

Now here’s an interesting logic puzzle. There’s an interesting legal question as to whether spitting on legislators classifies as “violence” (I think it would, myself), but leaving that aside, are there any legal means the teabaggers haven’t tried? They had demonstrations (fizzle), voted in lockstep (not enough votes), have all the major media on their side (not enough to do the job). I have no doubt they also used all their typical mass mailing and outright lying. What options might they have other than armed insurrection?

I committed the Keddie Murders.

the problem with socialism is you run out of other people’s money

When the government spends other people’s money (as opposed to… printing it?) it goes right back into the economy that’s why GDP = C + I + Government spending.

obama is spending us to bankruptcy

sovereign nations cannot go bankrupt because in the end they can just pay off their debt by printing more money. At worst, our debt holders could jack up interest rates, which they wont even do to Greece so I doubt either China or Japan is so inconfident in the US that they’d risk throwing the global economy into another tailspin

There are other things but fuck it you’re going to ignore me

major seventh chords? orange cars? The Mists Of Avalon? the 2nd semester of calculus? the Agile Development Methadology? stale hazelnuts?

I did not say “n*****” that was a spoof.

We should have a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION to stop the federal enroachment on States’ Rights.

And how does it make you feel that 38 states are suing the federal government over this? Hmmm?

Anthony, so true. Bye now.

That’s where you’re wrong. Greece is our future. And Japan and China would love to see the USA go down, they hate us, and they know Obama is weak-kneed and too much of an “internationalist” to oppose them. He could even use it as an excuse to introduce a global currency backed by the UN! And government wold be even further removed from the people…

I am also not a spoof. I am Spartacus.

Now what other things do you want to talk about in my post?

What options might they have other than armed insurrection?

They could try that Scientologist thing where they infiltrate the IRS, State and Justice departments and so forth to subvert the system. Which would have the expected situation, what with their projection, of placing them in the exact position they accused the commies of doing back in the day.

Except we probably won’t need a drunk and a closeted gay man to root them out.

I killed the Somerton Man, before hijacking Chicago cable in the 1980s.

I am Spartacus.

We don’t need a convention, that’s the Roberts’ Court’s job. And why are you so confident in Roberts early in the thread and then all of the sudden we need a new convention. A convention that would itself be unconstitutional.

No, I am Spartacus. Stop spoofing me.

Fuck you idiots.

Where the hell is Cleopatra?

I am Spartacus! And so is he!

That’s where you’re wrong. Greece is our future.

Greece didn’t go bankrupt. And as much China or Japan would love to weaken the US they aren’t going to do it at the cost of they’re own economies. These are rational economic actors not fucking Left Behind villians.

He could even use it as an excuse to introduce a global currency backed by the UN!

They thought I was *mad* when I converted all of my money into nuyen! But you won’t be laughing when the Awakenign comes, dragons burst free of Mt. Fuji and elves, street samurai, orcs and wizards walk amongst us!

Tony, you come up outta that basement this minute! I better not catch you lookin at that porno on the computer or telling them liberals what for! You get up here and clean your room!

re: repeal.

The US Chamber of Commerce, which only supports major mainstream positions such as climate change denialism so hard the back-peddaling makes that Three Stooges whupa-woopa-woppa noise thinks repeal is a non-starter.

In fact, I’m getting a datajack installed right now! I just walked into the nearest street doc, and the money was all covered!

THANKS OBAMACARE!

The second semester of calculus was even better than the first.

And as for you, Mr. so-called St. Trotsky, you trot yourself right out there and put the garbage out!

Why am I getting attacked as a conservative now?

I was the guy who screamed “faggot” at Barney Frank. Then I went into a broom closet with Louie Gohmert and gargled his balls. They were even more Texas-style than I expected. He screamed at me until I agreed to swallow.

Then I went into a broom closet with Louie Gohmert and gargled his balls. They were even more Texas-style than I expected.

Peotry!

38 states? You just got done telling us there were only like five revolutionaries and they still killed King George dead using only the combined, Voltron-esque might of their dicks, and your weak-shit 38 Attorney Generals are supposed to scare us? Pick a flavor of bullshit, Troofie.

We should have a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION to stop the federal enroachment on States’ Rights.

Heh. Weren’t you just agreeing with someone that we evil liberal types handily outnumber you? Go on. Throw us in that briar patch. Dibs on writing the “free abortions for all” amendment.

And how does it make you feel that 38 states are suing the federal government over this? Hmmm?

Annoyed, since my attorney general is one of the grandstanding jackasses threatening to piss state funds down the drain in a futile lawsuit so he can build wingnut cred for his run for governor. Worried, not so much.

STOP!!! HIM!!! NOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!

WE CAN’T AFFORD THIS WE DON’T HAVE THE MONEY! WE DON’T FUCKING HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE IT!!

Heh.

I’d enthuse more but this medicinal marijuana, she is strooong.

Yay, the freakout begins!

Can’t we go back? Can’t we go back to 2002?

Rove said there would be a permanent majority. He said it. But it isn’t so. How did this happen? How did this country GET HERE? How could the American people BE SO STUPID?

How does the crazy man make his letters (“H” in particular, it seems) continue running around well outside of the box that exists specifically for the purpose of keeping the letters confined inside of itself and where they belong in some notion of order rather than an anarchistic alphabetic range life type deal? His ability to do this alarms me and I am beginning to freak out.

I remember last decade when WE were in charge, WE had ther powe the American people were united behind a Commander-in-Chief who honored them in a long struggle against a foreign enemy, and you, YOU, you hippies, punks, reverse racists, peaceniks, self-hating Jews…YOU were on the outside, and we laughed at YOU, YOU were the ones protesting impotently, the MSM made fun of YOU, but it’s reversed, How did this HAPPEN!?

Surf, what are you talking about? No post has gone outside the box, man. There’s no letter H running around. Dude, uh, I think you’re FLIPPING YOUR LID, MAN!

How did this HAPPEN!?

Jesus!

Fake troof: louder and funnier.

On the one hand, I feel very foolish for staying up watching the curling match between Jennifer Jones and Bingyu Wang. It has been an extremely good game, but I seriously need to get to sleep.

On the other hand, I am really glad I stayed up because I have had the chance to witness either the complete meltdown of the troll, or a masterful simulacrum thereof.

It’s something you really, really hate.

Oh noes. Not Joe Fucking Lieberman!

You wouldn’t !

Substance McG, that glyph looks remarkably like driftglass’s old spam catcher.

YOU, you hippies, punks, reverse racists, peaceniks, self-hating Jews…YOU were on the outside, and we laughed at YOU, YOU were the ones protesting impotently, the MSM made fun of YOU, but it’s reversed, How did this HAPPEN!?

As far as I can tell, this is still basically happening, plus we have Rahm Emmanuel yelling at us (at least he’s nice to bffs on the other side like Lindsay) all the time and plus it’s firebagging (wtf) to be like “Man, remember when we were going to get a public option and also get out of Iraq and start to either give people trials or let them out of our torture and detention funland camps?”

Believe me, buddy, only Democrats could make winning feel this much like a kick in the nuts

That’s actually a buncha blockquotes. Line up more and they head off to the right into UNKNOWN TERRITORY!!!

I’d enthuse more but this medicinal marijuana, she is strooong.

ObamaCare pledges to provide its drug slave minions with the finest shit available and in return asks only for their unquestioning fealty.

That’s kind of neat!

Hey Kill Surf City can you use italics or blockquotes? I keep having to readjust my feeble brain to understand whether or not you’re writing what you’re quoting.

The blockquotes thing, I meant, was neat. Snorg, you smoke this stuff, fealty is not far behind. I assure you of that.

Hey Kill Surf City can you use italics or blockquotes? I keep having to readjust my feeble brain to understand whether or not you’re writing what you’re quoting.

That’s a very personal and technical question. I think I usually quote by bolding the statement that I’m quoting then replying underneath it, like this. That’s really all I know how to do. Things like formatting are a mystery to me.

I think Kill Smurf City was using bold in lieu of italix amurkins.

However, I’m not the Jane Goodall of S.N.!, so mistakes may have been made.

That’s really all I know how to do.

If you use an “i” instead of a “b” you’ll spare me some brain cells.

Or, get autohotkey and put this line in the .ini script:

:R:bq::<blockquote></blockquote>

And then every time you type bq you’ll get a blockquote, which makes you look totally COOL.

In fact, I’m getting a datajack installed right now! I just walked into the nearest street doc, and the money was all covered!

Get yourself some Chiba City enhancements, the House bill has a provision that will force all Teabaggers to act as Meat Puppets to foot the bill for such surgeries, as well as for sex changes and abortions.

That’s really all I know how to do. Things like formatting are a mystery to me.

More secrets of the Internets…

Italics – (i)@@@@@(/i)
Links – (A HREF= http://www.whateverthefuck)@@@@@(/A)
Strike – (strike)@@@@@@(/strike)

Just substitute for ( ).

All three of them were in favor of the bill passing – after the fact, of course. It’s the old “Americans love a winner” effect at work

I am going to laugh and laugh…

Waiting to see if the blue collar husband of a for-profit hospital administrator has changed his tune (“you don’t want this healthcare bill” he says to me 6 mo.s ago, even though my coverage wouldn’t change a bit) when I see him at work tomorrow. I think his son is over 26 but his nieces aren’t.

Gosh, reminds me of all the lemmings that didn’t vote for Bush but were suddenly identifying with Republicans after W was installed by the SCOTUS. (Or the douches walking around with Red Sox hats AFTER 2004. FUCK them. You know what? I don’t even wear Red Sox gear any more. They’re the new Yankees. Only assholes root for them.)

Like Ditech said, People Are Smart.

Oops. That didn’t work.

Just substitute the pointy things for the parentheses.

FOR J = 0 TO 999:POKE 32768+J, 102:NEXT J

wasn’t it?

Now, what’s next, ladies and gentlemen? I told you it’s going to hit you between the eyes. While you weren’t looking, and it didn’t get a whole lot of coverage yesterday: “Tens of thousands of immigrants and activists rallied in Washington, calling for legislation this year to give legal status to millions of illegal immigrants and seeking to pressure President Obama to keep working on the contentious issue once the health care debate is behind him. … The rally brought the return to major street action by immigration activists, who turned out hundreds of thousands of protesters in marches and rallies in 2006.” Their message to Obama: We gave you time on health care, now we want amnesty. But they don’t have to lobby President Obama for this, and they don’t have to protest for it.

They don’t have to even ask for it. The next big push, almost immediately — and they will use whatever unconstitutional measure they have to to get it done — will be amnesty. And I want to predict to you how Obama is going to sell this. Mr. Snerdley, would you suspend your call screening for just a moment because I need you to hear this. Whoever you’re speaking to, put ’em on hold. I want you to hear this, ’cause you’re going to get phone calls about it. The next big push — we’re not even going to breathe a sigh of relief before it happens, these people are relentless — the next big push will be amnesty for as many millions of illegal immigrants who are here. Obama is going to need their votes in 2012. The Democrats are going to need their votes at every election from this day forward, if down the road we have elections, and I’m not joking. The Constitution has just been ripped to shreds. So why is anything in it safe?

I want you to hear how Obama’s going to sell this. I want you to hear how Obama’s going to run around the country at these rallies, here’s what he’s going to say: (imitating Obama) “There are some people who don’t like your skin color, who don’t think you should be American.” He has come to divide. He has come to conquer. Is there anybody who now doubts what I meant when I said, “I hope he fails”? He has failed. He has succeeded. The happiness that these people are feeling should sicken every one of us because the happiness they’re feeling is the happiness derived from the destruction of America as founded. There are people in responsible positions of power in our government today who have deep resentment for this country, who have been raised, who have been educated to believe that this country is immoral and unjust, that we have stolen the resources of the rest of the world and used them for our own greed, that our prosperity has resulted from the real people who make things work being stolen from them. We have imperialistically sent our military around the world and murdered innocent people.

They don’t view this country as having liberated millions of people to freedom. They look at this country as one big criminal act, one big civil rights, human rights violation. Don’t doubt me. That is how Obama has been raised to look at this country, and he believes it, and he’s put a lot of people in unaccountable positions in his administration who have the same belief, and you know who some of them are. Van Jones, admitted communists. These are no longer baseless allegations or charges designed to get people’s attention. This is the truth that we face. The Democrat Party has been co-opted and is now led by a far leftist faction who admire and envy people like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro. Have you ever wondered why so many Democrats and so many stupid, idiotic celebrities have an affinity and love for Castro, despite what’s happened to his country, despite what he’s done to it? They envy his power. They think they now have that power.
So the next thing that’s going to happen is a major push for immigration reform, comprehensive immigration reform. It will be called amnesty. Now, I am told that Lindsey Grahamnesty has now said he’s rethinking supporting this after he’s seen the tactics used to get health care. Fine and dandy. But none of this should have been a mystery to anybody. None of the evidence should have been missed. Who our opponents are has been widely available if somebody just wanted to believe it. Gone are the days of traditional Republicans and Democrats sharing power. There’s no sharing power. Barack Obama has come to divide, and he has come to conquer. “There are people who don’t like your skin color,” he will tell pro-immigration rallies. “There are people who don’t like your skin color, don’t think you should be American.” He will divide this country even further.

The Republicans will face the same dilemma there that we faced in health care. No matter what we do, and no matter what the public polls are, we can’t stop it. Not until November. We can’t stop it. We deal with a president who doesn’t care how many votes he loses in November. We deal with a president who actually may be looking forward to a Republican majority in the House, ’cause it’s very difficult to run against your own party and blame them for the things aren’t getting done, but if you have a Republican majority in the House, you’ve got a built-in enemy, you’ve got a built-in demon, a built-in diabolical enemy that you can campaign and run against. This should not stop us from our desire to win. I’m just telling you, don’t think that Obama will dial it back here because of November elections. He’ll ratchet it up. He’s gonna try to get cap and trade, don’t be surprised. Don’t be surprised if they don’t go home in August. Don’t be surprised at anything.

I’ll tell you what else is going to happen down the road. Mark Steyn touched on this in a little piece at National Review Online yesterday. The US military has always been used to defend and protect the people of this country and our like-minded allies who were devoted to the concept of human liberty and freedom. Those days will soon end. Barack Obama does not look at that as a proper role for this country. He’s not interested in defending your freedom. He’s interested in taking it. There is no way he will stand with other nations who are oriented as we used to be. The only way that Obama will ever be able to come even one-tenth of the way close to paying for any of this spending that he has personally written the check for, is to practically get rid of the US military. Defense cuts. Well, take a look. All of the somewhat models, I think we’re far down the road, far worse than these European socialist countries which the left seems to think is ideal for us to be, those people are going to look like rock-ribbed conservatives compared to us when Obama gets through.

Here you have a guy who doesn’t like the US military, who thinks it’s been used for imperialistic purposes. He can’t wait to slash that, use that money for domestic spending. You’ve heard the Democrat Party say this your whole life, cut defense, build up social programs, stop the Iraq war, we’re going to pay for health care with that. By the way, the Iraq war is still going on, so is Afghanistan, but the days of the United States projecting its power in defense of people who are in bondage will likely come to an end. I’m well aware that we have Iran looming and there’s nothing stopping Iran, and the Russians are aligning with them. Our problems go way beyond our borders. The problems beyond our borders, however, are of very little interest to Barack Obama compared to his desires within our borders. He will continue his crusade to forever alter this country. He has come to divide. He has come to conquer. And some of the Republicans on our side still don’t get it, still refuse to see this man, his presidency, his administration for what it is, and some of our own conservative so-called commentariat don’t get it. Rome is burning, and instead of putting out the fire we have too many people looking for a bag of marshmallows.

blockquotes are the Nazis of Liberal Fascism.

Dear trolly trolls,

Stop waving around that 38 (it’s 39 now) number. It simply means that someone in a state legislature has introduced a bill, not that whole states are moving against the bill.

Oh, and four of those AGs who jumped at the chance to try to stop the bill are all running for governor in 2010.

Eww, somebody started spreading santorum on this thread.

Ladies and gentlemen, now that we have health care reform, we should expect Obama’s approval numbers to skyrocket, right? Not just get a bump. Everybody’s talking about a “bump” that he might get ’cause he got it done. We should expect them to skyrocket because of health care reform. This is what we were told. We should expect the budget deficit to immediately start going down. This is what we were told. And employment should shoot straight up, right? These were all the promised benefits that we are breathlessly sitting around and waiting for. Now, about this preexisting condition stuff. I feel like it’s time to hit you between the eyes with some reality here, to continue doing so, which we’ve been doing for the last year on this.

The truth of the matter is that at the end of the day, when all of this is implemented — if it is — preexisting conditions will not be covered. Everybody will not be treated. We already have the federal government as the largest insurance company in the country: It’s called Medicare, it’s called Medicaid, it’s called S-CHIP and it’s called the VA. And everybody does not get covered. Everybody does not get paid for. Everybody does not get reimbursed, and everybody does not get treated. They, Medicare and Medicaid, refuse (decline) more cases than any private insurance company in this country, expressed as a percentage. The only way, the only way that this can possibly happen in our health care system, is for care to be rationed — which it already is with Medicare and Medicaid and the VA and S-CHIP.

When rationing begins, depending on what illness or disease you have or contract, you may well not get health care. It may be determined that you are not suitable to be treated based on your age, based on the severity of the disease, and based on whether or not it’s worth it to the government to keep you alive and to keep you healthy, in terms of dollars and cents. Pure and simple. You may not get your health care, or you’ll get it so late as to not matter. This is what happens under these systems. It’s right before our eyes. It’s happening in Canada. It happens in the Great Britain area. It happens everywhere there is socialized medicine. They can say that you have coverage, but you will not get care like you do today.

Starting today, the best health care system in the world is history. The health care that you want, the health care that you’re able to get is history. There are some people saying that this is an entitlement. Technically speaking, I guess you could say it is. But in reality, it’s not an entitlement. Because whereas everybody gets their Social Security, or everybody gets the other things, they’re not going to get health care as they want it, when they want it, and how much of it they want. It can’t possibly happen, not when the government is managing it, not when the government will be the sole provider — and not when it’s the American people, via high taxes, who are paying for it. You had the real number of uninsured in this country at 12 million. That’s the number of people who want health care insurance but couldn’t get any.

It’s not 32, it’s not 40, it’s not 47, never has been, it’s 12 million. We’ve run the numbers. And for barely a smidgeon of the stimulus package we could have insured those people every year. We didn’t need this. This is not about health care. This is not about insurance. This is about fundamentally wrecking and destroying the United States of America as it was founded. This is about turning as many people in this country as possible into dependents, not for their wants, but for their very needs. You know, 280, 275 million people in this country had health insurance, they were happy with it, they had their coverage. Prices were skyrocketing, that was a vacuum that wasn’t quite filled when the Republicans had a chance, but that’s a discussion for another day. Poll after poll after poll, there was not this clamoring for massive fundamental change such as we’ve had. But rationing is the only way this can happen. Depending on what kind of cancer you get, depending on your age, depending on the cost of drugs, et cetera, you may not get any of it, and it’s not going to be your doctor who decides. It’s going to be some government panel using actuarial tables that look at you as a budget number, pure and simple. Not as a human being.

Now, I’ll tell you where this is headed. It’s great to talk about repeal, that must happen, but the people talking about it, if they’re going to run for reelection on that, they better be serious about meaning it. Already there are some Republicans talking about, “Well, you know, we can make this workable if we just take some things…” no! This is not workable in any way, shape manner or form. It’s destructive totally. And anybody talking about how, “Well, we can take this out of it, we take that out of it and replace it…” no! This whole thing has to be broomed and swept away and blown up and started over with. I said last week that Barack Obama came to divide us, and he’s done that. He has also come to conquer us. When Barack Obama leaves office, if he does, he wants more people on the welfare state than are funding it.

I keep hearing the liberals say, “But millions and millions cannot afford health care.” That’s what Medicaid was for and it’s not really working all that well, is it? Is any government program fulfilling its promise? Why are people so damn unhappy all the time about it? Yet they keep trusting government to do more, except in this case the American people have awakened and did not trust the government to do more. This has been shoved and rammed down our throats. Medicaid is breaking the states. The State of Arizona has just canceled its S-CHIP program, they just broomed it. They don’t have the money. California’s next. We are bankrupt and nobody is talking about — $940 billion they say, that’s maybe if it ended in two years, but it’s going to go on in perpetuity if it’s not stopped. The cost of this is incalculable to our character, to the relationship citizens have to their government, to freedom, to liberty. The destruction here is totally predictable, and that’s why this is so frightening. Medicaid has essentially just been expanded, and it’s a 45-year failure.

How can anybody who is focused on freedom, American exceptionalism and the individual and the consent of the governed, how can anybody propose a plan which the House did, their reconciliation package, that adds 16,000 new IRS agents to examine the tax returns of the American people? The IRS is the collection agency, the enforcement agency now for all of these mandates, the taxes or fines that all of us must pay, businesses, small and large, to have insurance or the fine if we don’t. And, by the way, paying the fine will be fine. They’ll be more than happy for you to pay the fine. Let me tell you why they’ll be happy for you to pay the fine. A, it’s a brand-new tax, they are pricing these fines much less than an insurance policy would cost you or your business. As long as there’s no jail time, people will choose the fine and then only insure themselves the moment they have the car crash or get sick, and that’s perfectly legal under this bill. The end result of that is that private insurance will cease to exist and the long desired public option will blossom.

The whole purpose of this, despite all the lies told, the whole purpose of this was to put the federal government, Barack Obama, the Democrat Party in charge of everybody’s health care. There’s no other way to look at this, and there is no evidence that they do any of this kind of thing well, and there’s no evidence that a free society remains free when its government assumes this much responsibility for what the private sector takes care of just fine.

Oh, yes – peekin’ and pokin’ was all we ever did back then.

Until you got doing it in assembler, where it was all LDA and STA and didn’t sound as much fun.

on one of my first jobs we VAR’ed the original ibm pc with the sloped front. when you booted it up, a red light came on and the disk drive made a grinding noise. many a time we got a frantic call from a customer just trying his system out for the first time, saying “when i turned on your stupid computer system a red warning light came on and the computer started to grind itself to pieces!!!”

did i mention that we had to walk ten miles through the snow uphill both ways to write a line of code?

This is what happens under these our current systems. It’s right before our eyes…..They can say that you have coverage, but you will not get care like you do today.
