Sadly, No!

Oh, that wasn’t her. Meh.

SO tempted to get out of the boat. So tempted.

 
 

Mark Krikorian, the author of “The New Case Against Immigration, Both Legal and Illegal”? Toooootally not anti-immigration.

 
 

Never get out of the boat on an ASW post. No comments means no fever swamp to give the mangoes that tangy flavor.

 
 

I’m disturbed by thinking about the situations at ASW that involve K-Lo and staff playing “games.”

 
 

You’ve got it all wrong, tigris. He’s a leading light of the conservative intellectual movement. That means he can’t be a racist.

I see why they don’t allow comments. They’re scared some of the ones that they get would be used against them.

 
 

Also, I don’t quite get it. Why is K-Lo bringing Krikorian into the debate? Even if the picture were a screenshot (I assumed it’s a photoshop), there’s nothing relating her post to Cesar’s except the title.

 
TruculentandUnreliable
 

Oh, I’m a dumbass. There is no need to get out of the boat.

 
 

Yeah, the comments there would make Yahoo look sane.

 
 

Kathryn Jean Lopez? Has anyone seen her papers? Someone contact that Arizona sheriff. I think we may have an illegal stealing a wingnut welfare job from a real American.

 
 

Kathryn Jean Lopez? Has anyone seen her papers?

In K-Lo’s case, “Lopez” simply means that she breaks open at the waist to dispense candy, rather than at the neck.

She took them in to Cesar’s phonebooth and “hid” them.

Now Jonah gets to play liberal fascist and strip search her.

Well said.

I don’t know if he’s a racist or not, and I suppose in theory it’s possible to be against immigration and not be a racist, but somebody who’s against even legal immigration is anti-immigration by definition, so KLo is still wrong wrong wrong.

Nuh uh. First we discuss what’s in her hand. Is that the jawbone of a small animal garnished with an orange slice?

Ticklefight! Woot!

 
 

I suppose in theory it’s possible to be against immigration and not be a racist

Which of course is why the right was totally unconcerned with immigration until most immigrants were of a dusky hue. Not much of a peep out of them over illegal immigration in the 1980s when most illegals were from Ireland and Poland.

 
 

If they did allow comments, someone might point out to K-Lo that if she traveled through Arizona, she would need to carry her birth certificate (the vault copy) to prove her citizenship. At that point, K-Lo’s worldview would crumble. Ipso facto, no comments allowed at ASW.

 
 

Uh oh. Looks like a Negroni to me.

If she’s drinking a Negroni, I’m Sarah Palin. I’m betting Flirtini.

Not in my house, dear. Simply everything is better in a ‘tini glass.

Long before I had even heard of the Negroni I once invented* a drink of Campari and gin. Called it a “spayed gerbil.” I suspect this fact was brought to mind by the ‘KLo fixed’ meme.

*By ‘invent’ I mean that’s all that was left in the house.

“It could also hurt the GOP’s prospects in the upcoming mid-term election by diverting attention from the Democrats’ record of over-spending, over-taxing, and exploding the national debt”

Amnesia really is their strongest weapon.

 
 

The great thing about martini glasses is that you can train cats to drink form them. One paw on the base to keep it from moving, and a cat’s face is pretty close to conical and fits perfectly in the glass.

There was this one time when a really confusing game of Nanny State vs the Individual started up but Cesar kept over taxing and over spending and Lopez kept complaining that she wasn’t getting the services she had paid for and maybe she needed to spend some time alone working on self-rule.

However, cats and cocktails? Genius!

I had a cat once that spilled a near-empty bottle of red wine. I knew this because there were little red pawprints all over my nice beige carpet.

And a drunk cat sleeping it off in what passed for an alleyway in that apartment (yes, the small NARROW hallway to the bathroom where you have to step over the cat who wakes up just enough to think your foot is a bird and bat at it)

 
 

That’s a terrible idea.

The mouser who used to live in the cellar of Jimmy Armstrong’s saloon (named Barmop) loved it.

Barmop!!! Aaaah, so cute!

There was a bar kitty at this really terrible dive bar that we used to hang out at that was, like, this weird horror theme. But not really. Anyway, his name was Bones and I was always worried that he would get lung cancer and/or go deaf. But he escaped one night and animal control picked him up and put him to sleep before the owner could get him out of the hoosegow. 🙁

I’m surprised the cat drank enough of it to get drunk…I’d think it would taste terrible to them.

Or is she just annoyed because Cesar Conda is flaunting his ability to fit in a phone booth? Perhaps he always writes this sort of thing, like “Tobacco companies are being treated unfairly, like certain people who have to buy two seats when they fly Southwest” and “Open Source software is as bad an idea as an all-you-can-eat restaurant, where I heard one of our writers went into a restaurant and ate everything in the restaurant and they had to close the restaurant.”

With a vague (but not deeply held) serious tone, I would think such an arrangement would require largely open borders. Tourism, bidness, junk from Wal-Mart’s national distribution center would all require facile movement between the two nations. That much wouldn’t change.

True dat. But they would be largely the worst of them (unlike now). And much more in the minority. I think Joe would follow the political winds where they blew, as it were. But his leverage (in concert with senators from the south) is greatly diminished.
No, it would not be easy as pie. Lots of entrenched interests (Banksters, anyone?) to overcome. But maybe, just maybe, the Rest of Us could gouge a little Justice and Fair Play out of the system.

That’s why we didn’t let them go the first time, I suppose.

 
 

What could we accomplish as a nation if we didn’t have to negotiate and deal with filibusters and no votes from JesusLand?
we would post to sadly no on sunshine powered computers while our hyperintelligent well-educated children silently sailed overhead in low earth orbit on windmill powered space stations. We will finally win the war on superfluous saxophone solos in otherwise good pop tunes. We will alphabetize every M&M on earth. We would travel coast to coast on electric trains no smaller than HO scale. We would compose arias in six languages while playing european football with our minds! There would be ponies for everyone!

Well ummm, as I understand the ruling, and I know diddly about the law, the judge ruled that there was no rational basis for discriminating against gays in marriage laws.

Which is exactly why a guy dressed as Elvis in Las Vegas or a drunk sea captain in the Pacific can perform a marriage ceremony.

It’s also the reason we had such sanctimonious events such as, “Who Wants To Marry a Millioniare?” Because what better way to show that only a man and a woman should be married then a reality show that pimps a creepy rich guy looking for shallow gold-diggers?

You have to be a constitutional scholar to understand the arguments about penumbrae, so you can see how somebody might think the Supremes overstepped in that case. (I’m not saying they did, just that you can see how somebody might think so.)

But the equal treatment provision of the 14th is right there in plain English for anybody who can read. I can understand not liking the decision, but acting like it’s some sort of judicial coup d’etat or something is just bullshit.

And BTW, wingnuts, you can pass a No Gay Marriage, No Backsies amendment to the Constitution of the United States, any time you like, as long as you can get 2/3 of House and Senate and 3/4 of state legislatures to agree with you. Until you can do that, SHUT UP.

That William Duncan Corner link is pretty awesome. How many internal contradictions can you count in this paragraph (sorry, no idea how to block quote:

“First, none of the testimony in the trial showed (nor could it have shown) the voters’ subjective intent in approving the measure. A corollary point is that the question is entirely irrelevant. If voters pulled the lever for that law because they liked the number 8, or because they have atavistic hatreds, or because they really believe that marriage between husband and wife is a uniquely valuable institution though they have no problem with their gay and lesbian neighbors, it is hard to imagine what those intentions could have to do with whether the law they approve accords with the Constitution. It is worth noting that, since California gives all the benefits of marriage to same-sex couples through another legal status, the idea that most or even many voters were acting out of hatred is pretty unlikely.”

I’ll start.

1. Intent is irrelevant to the legal analysis of whether the law accords with the Constitution. Let’s talk about how the judge got intent wrong.

2. No evidence of intent was provided, so the judge’s conclusions about intent are meaningless. By the way, notwithstanding the complete lack of evidence, the intent was not hatred. Probably.

3. You gays are getting all the benefits of marriage anyway. Why do you have to go messing it up for everybody by insisting on actually having a marriage?
