Scott Johnson, Powerline
At some point you have grabbed enough power

…At some point you’ve held enough -line,
Mirengoff makes you yawn,
So do Johnson and John,
It’s the slog of the year for all time.

No, it’s not. Try TALKING LOUDER.

 
 

For those of you eyeing the mangoes:

As Michelle Malkin observes…

You have been warned.

 
 

okay, not going for the mangoes, but is Johnson (HURR HURR HE SAID “JOHNSON”) actually arguing, as his title implies, that Obama has “grabbed enough power”?

 
 

For those of you eyeing the mangoes

The Malkin is indeed a vicious species of candiru.

At some point you have grabbed enough power

Jesus God. Unitary executive, what’s that? And as if Obama’s mandating salary caps instead of just having a personal opinion with which no one but a fucking moron would disagree. Holy fuck.

 
 

Isn’t it strange that what we’ve been seeing from the right wing since Inauguration Day is simply a repetition of the accusations which the left and Real Center (not the Brooksian-Friedmanite chimera) levied toward the Cheney-Bush regime? I mean, I knew that a lack of imagination and originality was a hallmark of the whingenut mentality, but why are they allowed to get away with it?

Got out of the boat, saw the Obama painted as Joker picture, and hopped right the fuck back in.

 
 

Alluding to other elements of Obama’s Quincy speech earlier this week, Michelle observes that we have a president who presumes to know when you have earned “enough,”

I presume that too. So does my boss.

 
 

The Malkin is indeed a vicious species of candiru.

And on closer inspection the mangoes are durians.

 
 

A minimum wage job works out to about $21,480 per year. The average CEO compensation for fortune 500 companies is $9,246,697 per year. I think Obama is correct, at some point you have made enough money.

Median pay at top 200 companies fell to a paltry 6.95 million in 2009.

I also wouldn’t put it past these guys to think they may be manipulating these numbers somewhat to take some of the heat off themselves. Manipulating numbers is how a lot of them get rich in the first place.

Between the “Democrats are painting all criticisms of Obama as racist” strawperson of color, and the “well, everybody’s upset about spending” shit, I am now very, very cranky.

 
 

Everyone knows the most efficient way to grab power is to do t
so through a government-backed healthcare program. What, exactly, kind of power do they think it gives The Kenyan?

Oh, great! The old “Obama was nominated because he’s black” canard!

If you need me, I’ll be looking for a softball bat and purging my contacts list. Later!

 
 

The Founders of the United States were deep students of politics and history, and they shared Aristotle’s concern. Up through their time, history had shown all known democracies to be “incompatible with personal security or the rights of property.” James Madison and others held that the “first object of government” was to protect the rights of property.

Gee whiz, I wonder if that applied to Madison’s slaves? Perhaps Aristotle was more clear on this point.

 
 

Federal employees now are paid much more money than their counterparts in private industry.

Excuse me while I change my pants — I pissed in them from laughing so hard. Aren’t these douches lawyers? Compare the salary of an attorney at the DOJ with someone in private practice. It’s not even close. People I’ve known that left private practice and were hired by the government took pay cuts of 40 to 60%.

 
 

So, wait a minute. IIRC, there’s a right wing talking point that says in order to preserve traditional family values, have Mom stay at home instead of work, and avoid getting all overly material about popular culture and nasty things like that, one has to live modestly within ones means in the Heartland instead of in those Godforsaken libertine coastal cities with high real estate prices; without having two fancy (probably hybrid) cars, granite countertops or cell phones (specially if you’re homeless), so that one can do the responsible things like buy private health insurance (instead of mooching off the government) and be able to take the family to church each Sunday.

But now it’s time to defend the right to excess wealth amassed by elites? Because Obama opined that sometimes enough is enough?

I swear to god, he ought to just come out and embrace every core idea that is dear to them. Then they’d contort themselves into oblivion denouncing them.

 
 

Tangentially related: how do you tell some of your friends that they are insane for thinking that the teabaggers aren’t racist? You know, nicely.

How about a Google image search for “racist tea party sign” and then email the first 50 or so examples?

I KNOW! They absolutely advocate an economic system that makes that virtually impossible! It’s fucking insane!

How about a Google image search for “racist tea party sign” and then email the first 50 or so examples?

Oh, you see, that’s just “crazy people” who have attached themselves to the movement. I explained, you know, latent racism and the Southern Strategy? Fucking crickets. Oh, and a couple of reiterations why Hillary was better and they only reason they could see why people would vote for Obama in the primary was because he’s black.

 
 

Annnd, completely off-topic (“NO!” you say, but I soldier on).

The CA TeaBaggers have announced they are going to boycott San Francisco because the San Francisco city gummint is boycotting Arizona.

I haz a sad. The Folsom Street Fair will not be held this year as a result.

I believe he did just that by implementing the health care bill. Y’know, the one that mirrors the plan in Massachusetts? The one passed through a Republican governor? The one that looks very much like the Dole plan offered as an alternative (imagine!) to the Clinton plan?

They nearly broke their ankles changing direction on that.

Federal employees now are paid much more money than their counterparts in private industry.

In the industries in which this is true, this fact only speaks to the severely depressed and stagnant wages in the private sector over the last 30 years, rather than the “OMGWHARGRRRBLEBBQ Gubmit be Steele-in our moneyz!!!!” that they so desperately wish to be true.

But we already knew that, being not-orthogonal-to-reality and such.

I wonder if the Powertools know the context of this verse in Leviticus.

I need brain bleach: the mentioning of “nuns”, “K-Lo” and “punished for enjoying sex” suddenly brought forth an image in my mind of K-Lo, dressed up as a nun, being spanked by Ross Douthat (dressed in leather) as he says to her “you filthy, lusty whore — this is your punishment for enjoying sex” all while Jonah is watching and getting more and more jealous by the minute.

That must be why they call them Fortune 500 companies. The CEO makes 500 times what the workers do.

I’m tempted for this, though.

Why does powerline hate democracy? Are they saying that it’s inherently communist? Wtf? That’s their excuse for touting the return of serfdom? “The founders may have said one thing but they meant what I’m telling you they meant.”? Fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…

Also, too, I don’t see “property” in there next to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

That, btw, is probably what the aloeged Jesus referred to when he allegedly said:

“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

WRT: baseball bat persuasion- it is tempting to strike the skull of the ignorant simpleton to impart the desired knowledge, but this often proves fatal, thus negating said educational attempts. Jointed areas are much more effective as targets to attain the desired results. As an aside, the aluminum bats do “ping” rather nicely when employed on harder targets- long bones, in particular. The “thwack” noise of the wooden bat is also melodious and entertaining. Also, use of excessive force is counter-productive for instructive purposes, a simple “flick-of-the-wrist” is sufficient in most situations. Hope this helps, sharing my experience with my peers is so, how do I say it, uh, uplifting (yes, that’s the feeling!). I am retired from my former profession as a violent criminal, so no “on hands” training is offered, at this time.

Ted Poe:
“Now it seems to me that if we are so advanced with technology and manpower and competence that we can capture illegal grasshoppers from Brazil, in the holds of ships that are in a little small place in Port Arthur, Texas …If we’re able to do that as a country, how come we can’t capture the thousands of people that cross the border everyday on the southern border of the United States? You know they’re a little bigger than grasshoppers and they should be able to be captured easier.

Unfortunately, Republicans missed their chance to take a big bite out of the problem [immigration]. Despite their tough rhetoric on the issue, every single Republican in the House and all but three in the Senate voted against $680,000,000 in funding for securing America’s border.

That’s right. By voting against the Recovery Act, Republicans not only opposed a bill that created over 2 million jobs and turned the economy around, but they voted against securing America’s border.

JOHN adds: Federal employees now are paid much more money than their counterparts in private industry. Is Obama willing to acknowledge that they earn “enough” and should forgo future pay increases? Obama himself earned more than $5 million last year. Is that “enough”? George Soros has made countless millions from currency manipulations that many regard as little better than extortion. Does he have “enough”? I suspect that “enough” will prove to be a standard that is both highly flexible and intimately related to political influence.

Amazingly, it actually makes some stuff quite a bit easier. Not that anybody cares, but I’m writing a bunch of aggragating/reporting routines, and they’re way easier to do, and get accurate results out of, in PL/SQL. And once these core routines are done, they can be called from outside the database using pretty much any language you want. In this case, the rest of the app is Java.

If Latinos in Texas voted the way they do in California, there is a decent chance <a href="http://insomniactive.com/2009/10/09/texas-observer-on-the-mystery-of-latino-turnout-in-texas/
Obama would have won Texas.

The Census Bureau estimated, based on the number of Spanish surnames on the voter rolls, that 38 percent of the Latino U.S. citizens over age 18 in Texas went to the polls in November 2008. That was a slight uptick from 2004, when 29 percent of eligible Latinos voted. But other states experienced huge surges in Latino voting last year. California saw about 57 percent of eligible Latinos vote in 2008,

I am not sure why Latino men were so relatively R friendly, but that is guaranteed to change as well.

Small potatoes compared to the Central American death-squads in the 80s, all of whom explicitly referenced Christianity in the struggle against godless Liberation Theology communism … let alone these guys today (although technically they’re a hybrid of Christianity, Islam & paganism).

“Every time I clean my gun
Thoughts of u get in my eyes…
U’re a moran, I don’t care
I just want your creamy thighs”

 
 

Wow. Nobody went there yet.

Humorous dildo?

A CHEF has died after an EEL was put up his bum.

Shocked doctors in Sichuan, China, found the sea creature in the 59-year-old man’s rectum after his death, it has been reported.

The 50cm long Asian swamp eel was allegedly inserted into the unnamed man’s bottom, after he passed out drunk, by pals playing a prank on him.

Medics said the eel had devoured his bowels.

Yeah, it’s the Sun but it’s worth it for the headline.

With friends like these, who needs enemas?

How’d I miss that one?

The sun was in my eyes, I tell ya!

 
 

Wait, where the hell is it 7:57 on May 1st already? Oh, right, there are other countries.

 
 

So wake up Germany already. I’m an American and I’m bored.

 
 

I’m curious if anyone else is here, and I have a somewhat odd request. Is there a livelier site at 2 AM central standard time? There are occasionally a few here awake now, but it seems kinda dead right now. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I do wonder. Is there a nightowl gathering place on the lefty blogosphere?

When killer cucumbers appear.’

 
 

Scuse mah fin-GAHS clawed toes.

Hey OBS, have you tied Hop Stoopid or does your name imply that you’re only snobbish when it comes to beer from Oregon?

Sorry I missed this, but I was away from the intarwebtoobs all weekend.

I’m not all that snobbish about the location a beer came from, in fact some of my best friendsmost recent favorite beers came from Southern Tier brewing out in Lakewood, New York…

I have indeed tried Hop Stoopid, and it is stoopidly hopped. I do like hops, but that one’s a bit much. I like a little nuance in a beer.

I do generally like Lagunitas beers though, in fact I have a six-pack of their IPA in my fridge right now.
