Time Magazine’s Slander of America
- Americans don’t hate Muslims; but if they do, it’s the fooking Mooslims’ own damn fault for being a bunch of rag-headed camel jockeys and assholes.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
Can’t STAND ya!
All of this controversy could have been avoided if other people would just do what I want.
OUCH!
Are you sure that’s Peter Wehner (pronounced ‘whiner’, I’m sure) in the picchah? I ask because after reading his commenttary I expected a seventh grader. I don’t even want to contemplate what connections the man in that pic has with seventh graders.
“Peter Weiner”, Job title: Supervising Overseer of the Department of Redundancy Department”
And yeah, I still lurk pretty regularly, but now that I’m no longer among the unwashed unemployed, I don’t have as much time on my hands to pitch in on the conversation.
Do carry on.
Do carry on.
You’ve read the comments here. There’s no shortage of carrying on going on ’round here.
“it’s the fooking Mooslims’ own damn fault”
Didn’t Bono get trouble with the FCC for saying “fooking” at the Grammy’s a few years ago? Be carefull Tintin.
Crusading was limited to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Shorter Wehner or shortest Wehner?
You know, this whole controversy could have been avoided if the Muslim citizens behind this mosque would have been reasonable and gotten the fuck out of New York where they god-damned don’t belong given how so many good Americans think they’re all basically Al Qa’ida any way.
On-topic, for once:
I’ll give him the point that America largely kept its head in the aftermath of the attacks, but of course there was the sporadic violence against Muslims (and the quite frankly heroic support in some cases, including the people who held anti-violence vigils at the mosque near where I live) and an immediate rumble of anti-Muslim rhetoric that has grown ever since. The now-overt calls to halt the building of mosques across the country is a bad sign in my opinion; how long will it be before there is fresh violence by neighbor against neighbor?
This is fucking hilarious. Yes, it’s The Left that’s using the Park51 project as a political wedge issue. The Republicans were just standing there innocently when the wedge went by. What were they supposed to do?
And of course
It’s her fault! She made me hit her!
Fucking tool.
Shorter me: What El Cid said.
By the way — note that the ass-hat reacts to a story about whether Americans are now Islamophobic by discussing what happened 9 years ago after 9/11.
Got out of the boat.
Totally not worth it.
You know, I have about 10 blog posts in the making that have claims that I feel like I need to research and find evidence on because I don’t want to look like a fucking moron. What the fuck is wrong with me? Conservatives get paid to flail about and pull stuff out of their asses all the time, and I can’t even bring myself to do it even halfway. FOR FREE.
PS: This is also what happens when you get perfectionism + laziness. Not a good combo.
…this most unhealthy debate we’re now engaged in, which is causing polarization based on ethnicity and religion, could have been so easily avoided if Iman Rauf had decided, on careful reflection, to build his mosque and community center elsewhere.
I wouldn’t hafta yell so much if you damned kids would STAY OFF MY LAWN!!
His coat of arms should have a skunk and a dildo.

Peter Weener, is that anything like a Dick Johnson?
The RatBastardicans seem to have ‘blame the victim’ down to a science. Too bad they hate science, too.

What’s really wrong with America is that the Hugenots aren’t around. They’d be good to hate too.
Huguenot, but I think I like Hugenot better.
Dammit, I was totally going to make a dumb “hugenot” joke…
This is also what happens when you get perfectionism + laziness. Not a good combo
I hear that, Virgo.
FDR was descended from Not-Huges, & he’s gotten some hate.
Blown opportunity:
Yeah, I can totally see that. Hate would turn to love, and rainbows would spring from wingnut arses… or the booger-eaters would just expand the radius of unacceptable land on which to build the mosque and flip out anyway, even if it was across the river.
The mangoes are few and far between over there, but the banner ad on the page leads you to this:
http://www.jsantisemitism.org/conference.html
It’s a conference about Muslim antisemitism.
I recognized a few names there, but I bet some of you will be able to pick a few more out that have significance.
Please do my research for me, would you?
Is that a sammich?
Knowing that the sensitivity still retained by Southern whites after the trauma of the civil war, it was completely wrong for the region’s African Americans to think that so recently after that tragic war that it was the right time to begin voting and running for office.
And, oh.
“Paging Mr. Monilla”
“Paging Mr. Salvadore Manilla”
“Please go to the nearest white courtesy telephone”
“Paging Mr. Sal Manilla, please go to the nearest white courtesy telephone…”
Half a billion eggs recalled. What’s next? Scrapple?

Damn uppity.
The articles I read indicated that all of the affected / suspected eggs went to restaurants, and not particularly breakfast chains (IHOP & Waffle House breathe a sigh of relief and then get back to work refilling coffee), instead of grocery store supplies.
Add that to the salmonella spinach outbreak in Taco Bell, etc., and the pink slime making up larger and larger amounts of ground beef in national restaurant chains, and you get more and more reasons to limit your dining in national chain restaurants.
Look, no one was opposing Southern African Americans’ rights to vote and run for office. It just wasn’t right nor necessarily proper to permit them to do so in the very South which had just gone through that trama.
There were plenty of nearby Caribbean islands upon which they could practice their fine and upstanding democratic aspirations. I mean, the Haitians were coloreds too.
It was so easily avoidable
Pompous son of a bitch. The plans for this go back to July 2009; if anyone had objections, they could have raised them at any time between then and now, but it’s only in the last month that this has become a scandal.
Who is it who’s made it a scandal? Certainly not the people of Manhattan, who continue to support the mosque; it was the conservative media that decided to use the 9/11 victims’ to boost their polling numbers. You got a problem with this tragic pain, take it up with them.
That was a mere 7.58 years after 9/11. Drastic insensitivity which you libruls can’t understand.
Also, we hate New York because it’s got all them fancy limousine libruls and their hoity toity big talk and how they ain’t rural and Southern or Western and shit.
I just posted a two-post, far too long rambling on the other post in response to the conspiracy charges. That’s not worth reading so much, but also put up three quotes from nativists throughout history arguing that the Constitution didn’t apply to various people because these people were too dangerous and different (including one from an S, N! post from way back in the day). Those, I recommend. Gives you some idea of how little the psychos have changed since the nineteenth century.
Also, we hate New York because it’s got all them fancy limousine libruls and their hoity toity big talk and how they ain’t rural and Southern or Western and shit.
And that’s why Jay-zus done punished ’em with his fiery wrath on 9/11. A-friggity-men!
BECK: You know, it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 victims’ families. It took me about a year.
These cretins know their followers can’t remember last week, and wouldn’t call them on their hypocrisy even if they did.

The egg recall is going back to one farmer who has been cited repeatedly for food safety and animal cruelty violations and has paid millions in fines. He has housed workers in unsanitary conditions, he has encouraged sexual harassment in the workplace, and is, IMO, and all-around shitheel.
And, he’s a born again Baptist.
Fucking Christian morality…how does it work?
Hmmm. I know a man from Brazil who left New York city after 9/11 because he was too often mistaken for a Muslim and was threatened many times. It seems NYC has gotten over it, don’t see why Kansas has to act all traumatized.
Thanks, ifthethunder. I wish I was surprised.

Dood, you’re messing with John Galt. You’ll be sorry when he takes his eggs and heads for the Hills.

And. So on. Forthwith.
Americans wouldn’t hate on Muslims if they were just white, Christian, conservative rednecks, so it is all their own fault!

Save the Sarah Palin quote for the next conservative revolution against the Establishment; at that point, it’ll be dragged out to show that Sarah Palin thought there could be peace-loving Muslims, ergo was a Muslim sympathizer, ergo was not a true conservative.
What gets me is that the Christians claim to believe that thier god is the one true, all powerful, all knowing god. And yet they are scared to death of the Muslims. From which I can only conclude that deep down inside these people really don’t have any faith in their god.

As evidenced by their blind panic and hysteria over anything which even remotely challenges their theology (see evolution, secularism, gay marriage, etc.).

One of his lead topics out of the box is how there really are Democrat death panels because the FDA isn’t approving an experimental cancer drug fast enuf.
You can listen to the Macon Miracle here if you so choose and your ears have been bled dry already.
Also, ‘if we let these Muslims build this mosque near Ground Zero, why not go ahead and give them the new World Trade Center’?
Also, Grover Norquist is hurting his feelings because he thinks Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot by going nuts over a mosque.

What gets me is that if you ask a fundie about the really nasty parts of the Bible (like the Amalekite genocide, say), they will stand there and tell you with a straight face that that was okay, because the One True God ordered it.
Not that God evolved when he had a son or whatever, not that it’s an allegory or an Illiad-like tale that didn’t actually happen; the genocide happened, and in their worldview, praise the Lord that it did.
because the FDA isn’t approving an experimental cancer drug fast enuf.
God knows you wouldn’t want to take your time and do due diligence on something like this. It is not like anti-cancer drugs are often potentially very lethal or have ever had significant side effects.
Urk should go here.
See, that was okay during Mosaic times, but he sent Jesus down so he could forgive us and stop feeling forced to kill us.
After all, there was that one time that God got upset with how people weren’t worshiping him correctly, and he drowned every single person and animal on Earth except for this one family and a few chosen animals, sending the cold, cold murky, soiled, dark waters to fill the bursting lungs of each little child as the panicked mothers and fathers watched death take hold of their eyes.
God’s love for us is so great we simply can’t understand it.

Looks like Godfather’s makes gluten-free pizza, at least at some of their locations. News to me – in fact, I had no idea the chain still existed. I hadn’t seen them around for 15 years or more.

Bint.
Watching a documentary about the Normans who conquered England, and how Wm the Conqueror’s son went to the holy land and slaughtered so many Muslims that nearby chroniclers noted that in some city streets the crusaders waded in ankle-deep human blood.
I don’t understand why Muslims have such a long suspicion of Western well intentions.
The Bible prevents master degrees.
And what is it with these assholes?
The whole fucking world must move itself to their worldview or else.
Fuck you sister (no, not ever)
More of what Dr D said, I spoze.
I iz in a mood.
I don’t understand why Muslims have such a long suspicion of Western well intentions.
I’ve seen a lot of Muslims make that point to me. But, as I point out to them, there were four hundred years before the Crusades during which it was the Muslims who were invading and conquering Christian lands (the Byzantines, Spain, France if not for Tours). Yes, you can argue that the Muslims were more humane conquerors and rulers than the Christians at the time, and a lot of the time you’d be right. But so what? An invasion’s an invasion. Ask the Iraqis.
And this is why I hate these clashes of civilizations. They’re pointless, nobody’s right, everybody’s just fucking mad at the other side because it’s… doing the same thing to them that they’re doing to it… and that calls for… more of the same, until everybody’s dead.
Actually, that covers almost every war in history, come to think of it.
One of the things which really impressed the Africans (West and East) soon after European contact (primarily the Portuguese) is how the Europeans visited upon them total warfare, not just battlefront warfare, but the complete destruction of civilians populations. They were quite shocked.
The Islamic invasions of Europe were of course in their own ways brutal. They weren’t, however, aimed as a holy war to exterminate those of different faiths.
There is something striking about those continually writing about the superior nature of Western civilization sending primitive yet extraordinarily violent forces to slaughter more advanced and settled societies specifically justified by religiously chauvinistic exterminism.
More humane or not, the point is that Muslims are defined as irrational folk based in murderous religious hatreds. For several hundred years European Crusaders acted out exactly those characteristics, yet since we have seen a few generations of Muslim / Arab nationalist terrorist movements, We now Know that Western European civilization was the one dedicated to systematic advancement, while the muttering darkie tribes of Islam were just sitting around trying to figure out the next throat to slit.
In fairness, by the time the Normans conquered Muslim Sicily in the 1100s, they actually reproduced the harmony of multi-religion harmony hundreds of Andalucia earlier.
Advances were possible. Clearly. From any source. From any geographical origin.

Exactly. That’s the point that’s lost on any clash-of-civilizationist; any civilization can rise or fall morally, show us the best of mankind or its worst. People beat their chest about how Western culture created the democracies of today, which are the freest, most tolerant and most successful countries on Earth; okay. But that same Western culture also produced fascism, which is generally considered the absolute worst that humanity had to offer. (And all in the same century at close to the same time, too!)
Biologists tell us that there are often more genetic differences between people of the same “race” than between people of different “races.” I say the same’s true of our civilizations writ large. Something to ponder when looking at a world that’s getting smaller by the year.
Oh god, her makeup is even worse than I thought.

Yay! Another episode of “Red Eye” is up on Hulu! This time experts like S. E. Cupp will discuss Michelle Obama’s radical and controversial trip to super-expensive exotic asteroid-belt vacation destination of Spain!
EW is even dumber, though, I think.
like Nazis without the scientific process
They were all science-y, so it’s OK, right libs?
Try the Rapture Gambit. It could earn you $500.
What makes me realize that the “clash of civilization” stuff is just bullshit rationalization is that only what They did to Us matters. We retaliate. They attack us for no reason. That their “attack for no reason” very often follows closely after a “retaliation” has never changed this formulation.
There are two fundamental (possibly equivalent) truths everybody should learn before age 10. (1) “He started it” is not an excuse. (2) Two wrongs don’t make a right.
The entire neocon noise machine is based on ignorance of both of these principles.
Also on Hulu! The exciting feature film “Food of the Gods,” a horror movie.
Description:
Now, not having seen it, are those wasps, worms, rats and chickens enormous, or just possessed of a cruel immorality?
One mistake never to make with the super-powerful, including any variety of hawks: they are neither ignorant nor mistaken. They want the wars they want, and they use any arguments and bleats they can to get their.
They don’t give a shit about those principles. If they understood them and even thought they made sense, they’d just ignore them and carry on a propaganda campaign to, say, slaughter more Arabs and Persians, because it’s what they want.
Come on, people. You’re supposed to say, “OMG, T&U, no wonder you gripe about that girl in such an annoying and off-topic way on a daily basis! We feel so sorry for you!”
Now, not having seen it, are those wasps, worms, rats and chickens enormous, or just possessed of a cruel immorality?
I would guess “enormous,” since they’re “monstrous,” but maybe you should watch it and find out.
The entire neocon noise machine is based on ignorance of both of these principles.
Israel/Palestine – single biggest example. Not even 9/11 brings out the fingers-in-ear la la la I can’t hear you!ing like that one.
I recommend Food of the Gods as an alternative to suicide and Evil Coworkers but not much more.

in fact, America showed enormous, impressive, and proper tolerance and respect toward Muslims after 9/11.
Fucking A, I never thought I would thank George Bush for anything, but he at least advocated tolerance overtly, even if he blew the dog whistle domestically.
Of course, Americans’ enormous, impressive and proper tolerance and respect also included violence against Sikhs and other sorta-kinda-look-like Muslim types.

Sticking up for Dubai Ports World against the far right took some guts, and I respected him for that.
Too bad so many Democrats actually sided against him. If you want to make a general points against foreigners handling security in our harbors, fine – but DPW handles harbors in Israel, and if it’s safe enough for them, don’t tell me there’s any quantifiable terrorist threat there.
They weren’t, however, aimed as a holy war to exterminate those of different faiths
Hell, the Christians were just as brutal to apostate sects of Christianity as they were to other faiths.
I used to think this was a thing of the past, but then I read MFK Fisher’s autobiographical works where she talks about growing up in Whittier, CA in at the turn of the century – Whittier being a Quaker settlement in Southern CA (Richard Nixon was raised there.)
And according to her, if you weren’t Quaker yourself, they treated you like shit.
Huh. The Quakers, for fucks’ sake!!
That pretty much sealed it for me, religion.

It’s a link to a horrific situation (though not one they ever had any problems with before Islam became “the enemy”). Naturally, the comment thread is a tribute to the clash-of-civilizationism discussed above, but this is the truly ludicrous part;
Is there a level of self-congratulation those pig-fuckers won’t sink to?
Reading and posting stories on the Internet from the safety of the most powerful country in the world, in which she belongs to the dominant part of the population, makes her “the bravest woman around”? Meanwhile men like John Kerry, Max Cleland, Al Gore and even John McCain, who risked their lives for the freedom these people pontificate about, are “cowards.”
These people are truly beyond disgusting.
Oh yes. And one of them goes for the gold;
Of all the things the right wing has killed, parody is one of those I miss the most.
Therefore, stoning a living human being is not only an act of human sacrifice — it is a classic religious ritual meant to glorify the stoners’ God.

SMcG does not need to be promoting that post, which has been receiving plenty of hits ever since the theme of the discussion thread became “drinking one’s own pee while wrapping oneself in plastic”.
Blockquote fail!
Business update, homies: in the past two weeks we’ve signed up 18 schools with a total of about 7,500 students to do fundraisers – potentially about $250K in sales potential there. At the open houses we’ve done, we’ve practically had to beat the parents back with a stick, they’re so taken with the stuff. Funny note – the manager who fired me from my last job showed up at one of the open houses – his kid goes to the school. He’s MY sales bitch now! You gotta love that.
On the down side, we have to go get some additional financing to get us over the hump for the next 6 – 8 weeks. But the business we’ve got in hand should generate enough income to pay everyone’s salaries, the rent, the taxes, the accountant, etc etc & with another 9 schools we can pay off everything we’ve borrowed to date at the end of the year.
And also, we’ve snatched some of our asshole competitor’s choicest schools right out from under him. He’s going to shit a load the size of Texas when he finds out.
I’m so tired I’m almost brain-dead, and I’ve got to put together the proposal for additional funding for the bank this weekend, plus meet with our contractor bookkeeper on Sunday to wade through how we’re going to handle order processing, vendor accounts, etc etc etc. Fortunately I dealt with the packaging suppliers, truck rental & freight people this week, in addition to calling on about 40 schools AND suffering not one, but two auto breakdowns (in two different vehicles) in the lovely 100 + degree weather we’ve been “enjoying.” I haven’t been this brain toasted in years.
I’m reasonably certain T&U’s ass comes already assembled.
I am disappointed to learn that I bought these Allen keys from Ikea for nothing.

Welcome back and many props. Hope you do manage to get some rest.
“Vay-ner”
Like an old guy’s PENIS?
Well, there’s your problem. I’m sure they’d work fine for putting Allen’s ass together, though.
Should the need arise.
I’m reasonably certain T&U’s ass comes already assembled.
Hm, yes, it seems to be functioning properly.
If it keeps your britches up and keeps you from falling in the toilet, then all is Kool & The Gang.

As long as you don’t lose any of the wingnuts.
A friend of mine started all of this.
His Dad was stationed in Iran.
People would leave their rugs out in teh road to be trammeled on by locals and their goats to make them look ‘antique.’
He used a Citroen to skid on them , or peel out and ruin them.
It’s all his fault.
the stoners’ God.
Dude.

You can buy asses at Ikea? What’s the cute Scandahoovian name?
Also, Jennifer: strong out of the gate in this economy is a great sign. Also.
Sorry to bring the thread back to topic, but I just read the post. 10 seconds with Mr. Google and I found out how America showed enormous, impressive, and proper tolerance and respect toward Muslims after 9/11.: http://www.themediaoasis.com/hatevictims.html
What’s the cute Scandahoovian name?
Ask tigris; she knows about kennings.

Shouldn’t that be she kens kennings?

No one got “ass”-embly?
“To condemn the practice of stoning itself, I would have to condemn the Old Testament, and that I cannot do. Still, I can condemn the injustice in the arbitrary nature by which this sentence is implemented. If every adulteress duly convicted by eyewitness testimony were stoned alongside her paramour, I could not raise an objection, but only rarely is this an accurate description.”
Oooooookaaaaay.
So, are married men who commit adultery stoned, too? Sorry, I can’t seem to keep my vile vagina-policing traditions straight.
Whatever. If these people lived in poor, tribal areas, they’d be the first to pick up the fucking rocks.
Chris, I hate you.
“I truly despise the followers of Islam, and I don’t want any of them from this murderous, treacherous, bizarre cult in my city of new york. and, i do not want them in my country, or in my schools, or universities. i do not even want them to use the toilet facilities, as they will bring in more bacteria than one could expect to find in a toilet.”
Woooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Oh, and Jennifer, congratulations! I meant to say that earlier, but was distracted by eliminationist bastards.
OMG.
Looked up stoning on wikipedia;
Like many of the terrible thing done by Muslims today… it doesn’t actually have a basis in the Quran. How about that?
The basis comes from the Hadith, which is significantly murkier, though jurists agree that it’s legit. Even then, it explicitly offers it as punishment for the two adulterers and therefore doesn’t seem like an anti-woman conspiracy.
(The fact that men choose not to enforce that part, including many imams, is despicable; hardly evidence against Islam, though).
Sorry T&U. I’ll try* and cut back on the crap I drag into the house.
*Operative word “try”
It’s cool.
Yeah, it’s more about tribalism and lack of education than it is about Islam. Which, um, these people suffer from, just in a more “civilized” form.
Mohammed himself was (relatively) enlightened about women and Islam is fairly pro-sex within marriage, btw.
I would also laugh at these assholes accusing Islam of being inherently anti-Semitic and comparing Muslims to Nazis if they weren’t using the exact same rhetoric about Muslims as the Nazis did about Jews, down to the idea that Muslim men are licentious predators and that Muslims are unclean and subhuman.
For the time, he was bloody good. In an age of unlimited polygamy, limiting the number of wives to four and specifying “only if they can be treated equally” (something some Islamic scholars use to argue that he was a stealth monogamist because it’s not possible)? Be nice if the Bible had been that feminist.

For The Corner logo, I’ve decided to do something teabag-related. No, not THAT kind of teabagging, people. Geez. Minds in the gutter much?
Oh, shit. Was this widely known and I just haven’t been paying attention?
First saw it myself this morning. From the AP story:
I think everything you need to know about it is contained in that paragraph (bolding mine).

We appreciate you expecting more from us, but yes, our minds are in the gutter much…
Hee hee. Gutter.
Gutter? I hardly knew ‘er!
Okay, the Assange warrant has been cancelled. That was quick. WTF?
Also, Jennifer: strong out of the gate in this economy is a great sign. Also.
Yes. Way cool. Unfortunately (not for you) your services are going be in great demand in the coming years.
Fucking school funding…how does it work?
That was quick. WTF?
Governmental rat-fucking operation, I would expect.
*Re-lurks into paranoid state of mind*
For The Corner logo, I’ve decided to do something teabag-related.
I still think a corner urinal is a good starting point. You know, pissing on reality and the vast majority of our society. Maybe even have Cornerites shaking the last driblets of piss from a diseased, wrinkled PENIS of some old oligarch.
Work with me here!
What?
What!?
And. T&U, I knew you were talking about She Who Cannot Be Sane. I was a’ messin’ with ya.
You probably already knew that but just in case and all. Also. As well, etc., etc.
Gutter? I hardly knew ‘er!
After gutting her, however, I felt an intimate connection with her. One that surpasses the normal feelings of jealous rage..
Oh my god. Did that just come out of ME?
Hey, it’s Looch’s thread now. Wheee!
That second does of coffee. BBBBZZZZZ.
TSAM. Damn. I’ll do my best not to let you kill the thread.
Okay, the Assange warrant has been cancelled. That was quick. WTF?
Maybe they forgot to manufacture a victim before they issued the warrant. You know, putting the old cart before the whores, so to speak.
TSAM. Damn. I’ll do my best not to let you kill the thread.
If THEY won’t talk to us, we can just post random creepy shit all day long. I have nothing better to do.
I am on break between a flurry of coffee-fueled house/yard/barn cleaning. The landlady has expectations that we should keep the house as pristine as when she lived here. I am trying for a detente on tensions, we’ll see if it works. If not, time to start looking.
In the meantime, it’s a good chance to organize, purge, and pack. If noting else, seeing us more ready to move out might make her soften her tone.
Then, off to the dump and the library for a book swap. I got some stinkers to get rid of half-read and a new set (of hopefully non-stinkers) to pick up.
Is this creepy enough?
“Y’know, the craft and artistry that went into the matte paintings Hollywood used for special effects in the old days was really amazing, and… wait, who’s paying me for this? Uh, which proves my point that liberal political correctness ruined Hollywood and that’s why people don’t go to movies anymore.”
Looch, I think the urinal theme is great too. I may work that in somewhere. It’ll be like carol Burnett’s ear tug.
Is this creepy enough?
Well played. I’m actually doing the same thing. Divorced dad–and I’m forcing my daughters to clean the messes they left a week ago. (After living with it all myself for a week). It’s lesson time. On the upside, tomorrow we ride the ultimate roller coaster At Silverwood Theme Park

We have gotten mixed up, to be sure. We have learned, however, that bottles cans and plastic can never, ever, be overdue.

Nobody goes to movies anymore, the theaters are too crowded.
BTW, I now willingly admit that I have the single most boring Internet life in the universe. I look at 2 or 3 political blogs, 2 or 3 feminist blogs, a soap forum, my forum, my galleries, and my email accounts. Jesus. I need to mix things up. Maybe throw in some midget porn.
“Avatar eats ass. Why don’t they make movies like 1975’s The Hindenburg anymore?”

Tsam, not to get too personal, but approximately where do you live? You only need give me a general idea if you like. I only ask because I’m in the general vicinity of Silverwood myself.
HOH MY GAWD! From Rusty’s link:
Or maybe 1998’s Air Force One, which starred Harrison Ford as a tough on terrorism Vietnam-era vet who knew his way around the controls of a jet aircraft. No wonder Hollywood was so appreciative the following decade when their wish was fulfilled in real life…
BAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HOLLLEY SHIT THAT’S FUNNY. HA!

Why don’t they make movies like 1975?s The Hindenburg anymore?
Why hasn’t Hollywood made An American Carol?

Can we resurrect John Wayne for a series of super realistic Iraq war movies? Maybe use old footage inserted into the live action? Too much for you liberal elitist latte sipping welfare having faggot libz? Thought so.

In fact, we had a genuine cross burning there a couple of years ago. Haha, they said. We thought it would be funny…
Why doesn’t Hollywood make movies in which gruff no-nonsense tough guys throw away the rule book to get the villain?
In the context of that last paragraph, it’s 10 times as funny. As if to say, we could rebuild the economy but Dave is busy with his rentboy. You’re just going to have to wait for his sound and wise economic advice. Darn it!

To that sentiment…I live across the street from a synagogue. I’ve lived in this particular apartment for nearly 3 years now, so every Saturday morning (that I manage to find my way home the previous night) I see that they hold services, with a police car prominently placed in front of the place. It ties in well with the current mosque flap, I think, and it makes me haz a sad every time I see it. The officer is there because of specific and credible threats.
So…vaguely on topic (NOEZ!1!1!!!)
Does Peter Wehner look like one of those high school counselors, who if you were forced to meet with, you would insist that the door to his office remain completely open?
I mean, that would be creepy.
Does Peter Wehner look like one of those high school counselors, who if you were forced to meet with, you would insist that the door to his office remain completely open?
Yes, I think you’re right. Also, too, the guy who shows up near closing time at the bar, all alone, standing in the corner looking for…well you know what he’s looking for.
with a police car prominently placed in front of the place.
Holy shit. I don’t know why, but this actually surprises me. I knew, of course, that Spokane was conservative, but I had been under the impression that most of the blatant Brown Shirting was confined to north Idaho.
I can see the conversation.
“Looch, I’ve had my eye on you…”
“e guy who shows up near closing time at the bar, all alone, standing in the corner looking for…well you know what he’s looking for.”

Holy shit. I don’t know why, but this actually surprises me. I knew, of course, that Spokane was conservative, but I had been under the impression that most of the blatant Brown Shirting was confined to north Idaho.
I’m actually pretty sure that Post Falls is more liberal and tolerant than Spokane. It baffles me a little, because the South Hill is made up of more liberal-ish type people, doctors, lawyers, architects–you know professional people who worry about their careers and families instead whether teh gayz might be getting married and ruining marriage for the breeders. It’s the only place I’ve seen it–perhaps if I get this blog going that I keep saying I’m going to do, yet never find the courage to embrace the idea that anyone else in the world gives a shit what I have to say, I’ll post pics of it.
It certainly surprised me. When I first moved in, I thought it was one of those short term things as a result of some threat, a brick through a window, a suspicious package (VcodpieceR), but going on 3 years, they’ve never missed a Saturday with the police detail. I really thought we were better than this after we finally got Morris Dees to come up here and get rid of those fucking shitbag Aryan Nations thugs. Some of the sentiment remains, I’m afraid.

Yes, mistress.

Jon Stewert is on a roll.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/8/20/894767/-MUST-SEE-Jon-Stewart:-Is-Fox-News-a-terrorist-command-center-%28Update-2X%29
But the very fact that the Trade Center bombing could’ve been hatched from Hamburg, means they don’t have to be next to it when they plan. And may have ties to people who might have bad ideas that may end up getting money from relatives of people who might have, for some reason, safety deposit boxes filled with money…. It’s a dangerous game of guilt by association you could play with almost anybody. All you need is a card and a highlighter. It’s, it’s, it’s nothing. It’s, ah, what is that game called? It’s six degrees of people who don’t eat bacon! Let me do it for you. OK, here, let’s try this.
Here’s Rupert Murdoch. He owns Fox News. Now, he definitely has ties to Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. Al-Waleed bin Talal owns the second largest share of NewsCorp, outside of the Murdoch family. He owns 7%, $2.5 billion dollars. Now, they say he’s a liberal Muslim, but he is in the Saudi royal family, which may have ties to funding the Wahhabist mosques, the same particular brand of Islam practiced by some of the terrorists. And he may have business dealings with the Carlyle Group, whose clients include… bin Laden family, one of whose sons, now obviously I’m not going to say which son, one of whose sons may be anti-American. I’m just connecting this, I’m just reading off the highlighted card.
“I think the president’s problem is that he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim. The seed of Islam is passed through the father like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother. He was born a Muslim, his father gave him an Islamic name.”
Which side seeds being an ignorant bike seat sniffer? Frank was born a loser, and has yet to renounce it.
cont…(leftout punchline)
“By the way, after 9/11, Mayor Rudy Giuliani would not… after 9/11, Rudy Giuliani would not accept $10 million from the same Prince Al-Waleed, because he had cited Mideast policy as one of the reasons that we were attacked, which is the same reason they said that the imam down at the Ground Zero mosque was a radical.
So I think that, really, when you look at this card, and you do highlight it in yellow, the only thing you can come up with is: Is Fox News a terrorist command center? I don’t know. I just don’t know. I’m just saying that you can draw this up.”
tsam, Cenk Uygur did a good job coming back at this nonsense while he was filling in for Ed. I really like that guy.

I do too. I thought he was some republican guy when I first saw him. But he’s not. They should give him that show. I like Ed allright, but he’s hard to listen to.
I always loved him on The Young Turks on Air America. It’s funny…I wish he’d take over for Ed, too. Though I happen to love Ed’s politics and passion.
Sorry, forgot link to the video
http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/jon-stewart-fox-news-terrorist-command-cen
I’ve actually never seen Ed.
Also, too, is it weird that I really don’t like Keith Olbermann at all?
Not at all? I mean, I find him a little over-the-top and prone to hyperbole, but his politics are definitely to be admired.
Oh, shit. Was this widely known and I just haven’t been paying attention?
…
Okay, the Assange warrant has been cancelled.
Heh. The Torygraph link has been 404-ed down the memory hole. As far as they’re concerned they never believed the story for a moment.
Not at all? I mean, I find him a little over-the-top and prone to hyperbole, but his politics are definitely to be admired.
I mean, I don’t hate him or anything, but yeah, it’s the hyperbole and the fact that he was a fucking jackass during the primaries. (Not that he was the only one, by any stretch).
Did he hate on Hillary too much? I think I recall some people mentioning that around that time.
“It’s six degrees of people who don’t eat bacon! ”
True story: I was friends with a guy in law school who was good firends with one of the two guys that thought up the whole Six degrees of Kevin Bacon game by calling in a New York radio station and doing the schtick.
FIRST!~
Did he hate on Hillary too much? I think I recall some people mentioning that around that time.
I thought he did, and I wasn’t a Hilbot. (Actually, I was undecided up until the moment I sat down in the voting booth). Some of what he said was perfectly legitimate, but I dunno, it just got really old.
I was also planning on voting for Edwards, but he dropped out right before the MO primaries (which was why I was undecided), so what the fuck do I know?

That would have been the SECOND time I voted for him, not counting when he ran as VP. I’m a little embarrassed that I didn’t see through him, but oh well. It could have been worse.
Also, I mean, I don’t really like to judge people I don’t know regarding their personal lives, but anyone who fucks around on his wife when she has terminal cancer is pretty much an utter piece of shit in my book.
Isn’t that pretty much what she is already?
You say it so much more succinctly than I did, but yes.

He was born a Muslim, his father gave him an Islamic name.
Sadly, No! “Barack” is about as Muslim a name as “Jonah” or “Benjamin.”
The word “barak”, meaning “blessed”, only shows up 330 times in the Old Testament, so maybe it’s not fair to expect a preacher to know it, even if the Old Testament is the “no fags allowed” one and all.
But if he didn’t know it from the bible, you’d think he’d know this from the fact that it is a common Jewish name, as in THE FAMILY NAME OF THE FORMER PRIME MINISTER OF IS-FUCKING-RAEL.
I wonder if he thinks Baruch College in Manhattan is the “ground zero Muslim victory college.” Sheesh.
so maybe it’s not fair to expect a preacher to know it,
You speak as if “knowledge of the holy bibble” were a pre-requisite to become a preacher, when in fact it is a hereditary position.
So much dribble aroun’ the holy bibble…
Speaking of which, VS–HELLO!
Urinal–>dribble—>bibble!!!
Huh? Whatcha think?

Re the Krugman post all the way back up;
Paul must feel the same way now that he did around the time of the Iraq war… one of the only people asking questions, expressing doubts and pointing out the turd in the punchbowl while the entire media was geared up for war. Hang in there, Paul.
Wonder what’ll happen if he’s proven right again – e.g. the right takes over again in 2012, thing still haven’t gotten better, and the super-austerity sends the country even deeper into the shit. I wish I could say the country would finally see the conservative line of bullshit for what it is, but after the teabagger movement popped up almost immediately after 2008, I’m starting nothing can make that happen.
Ah yes. The seed of Bill the Graham, slayer of Satan. The logic of pandering these toolsheds escapes me.
Billy Graham was a Democrat and and integrationist as I recall – someone who spoke up consistently for civil rights, refused to speak at segregated events in the Southern U.S. and South Africa, and when he found out he was at a segregated event, literally walked down off the stage and tore down the barrier separating the two sides.
What the hell happened? I can accept that the religious right was taken over by Falwell-Robertson psychos in the late seventies, but this is his son. How the hell did he turn into a movement conservative parrot?

Here’s Rupert Murdoch. He owns Fox News. Now, he definitely has ties to Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. Al-Waleed bin Talal owns the second largest share of NewsCorp, outside of the Murdoch family. He owns 7%, $2.5 billion dollars. Now, they say he’s a liberal Muslim, but he is in the Saudi royal family, which may have ties to funding the Wahhabist mosques, the same particular brand of Islam practiced by some of the terrorists. And he may have business dealings with the Carlyle Group, whose clients include… bin Laden family, one of whose sons, now obviously I’m not going to say which son, one of whose sons may be anti-American. I’m just connecting this, I’m just reading off the highlighted card.
This deserves a quote from Paul Valery, French poet;
“War; a massacre of people who fight each other but do not know each other, for the benefit of people who know each other but do not fight each other.”

1) What would Obama do? Probably celebrate the Christians’ attempt to show “them” that not all of “us” are like that – like he did in the Cairo speech and the race speech, admonishing both sides to stay away from the heavy stereotypes and learn more about what each other were really like.
2) Forgive me – isn’t that exactly what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki? I mean, there are churches and missionaries there, and have been since the postwar forties at least. Have the Japanese ever complained? Not that I’ve heard of. Perhaps you should ponder that; it’s not every day that your society is shown to be even less tolerant than Japan.
Eh! Steve!
Union busting?
A massive military buildup?
Putting religious minorities in extermination camps?

@ Chris:
Actually, Nagasaki was the only city in Japan with any significant Christian presence, and had been since the shoguns limited western traders to that one port. They were persecuted to varying degrees throughout the Shogunate, and the military dictators were starting to work their way up to another thoroughgoing persecution before the war.
So if we were trying to kill the maximum number of Christians in Japan, Nagasaki was the only place to hit.
Well, the title of mine is My Typing is Shit Today. We can all have a joint book signing!

Lets see what our friend Brent “Bozo” Bozell thinks of the hot hits on the jukebox the teenyboppers are sockhopping it to this summer.
http://townhall.com/columnists/BrentBozell/2010/08/20/sleazy_songs_of_summer
The “anthem” of the summer seems to be the song “California Gurls” by Katy Perry, the ex-Christian singer who kick-started her career with the hit “I Kissed a Girl (And I Liked It)” in 2008. She’s so “mainstream” this year that she hosted the Teen Choice Awards on Fox.
Her “Gurls” song is catchy and raunchy, starting with the boast that she and her girlfriends are so hot “we’ll melt your Popsicle.” That phrase is hot slang. Please imagine 7-year-old girls learning and reciting the lyrics to these songs — because they do. Perry sings about “Sex on the beach / We don’t mind sand in our stilettos / We freak in my Jeep” to Snoop Dogg, who also raps on the song. Snoop calls out the men to “kiss her, touch her, squeeze her buns.” The boys hang out to “all that ass hangin’ out,” watching the girls in “bikinis, tankinis, martinis, no weenies.”
“Shakespeare he is not. Romantic sonnets are not in season. Getting sex quickly seems to be the only aim”.
[True dat. Preach it Bozo.]
Sorry that was me what inflicted the Bozell
She’s so “mainstream” this year that she hosted the Teen Choice Awards on Fox.
I, for one, look forward to Bozell’s call for a boycott of Fox.

Who the fuck keeps getting on Bozell’s lawn? Jesus.
I do have to say that Eminem song bugs a little…but how popular is it? I have no idea, because I am old.
Brent Bozell was born in 1955, meaning he was a teenager from 1968 to 1978, during which time the Doors had a massive hit album on which Jim Morrison sang about killing his father and fucking his mother, and (2) appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Also, too, punk, glam (boys dressing up like girls oh noez!), and Alice fucking Cooper.
I mean, I know he probably wasn’t cool enough to listen to much more than The Carpenters and Captain and Tennille, but I’m sure he wouldn’t say that his generation is irredeemably immoral.
And there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of hedonism, IMHO.
Comments at Bozell’s are awesome. Sampling:
– Jimi Hendrix will be forgotten in 100 years
– Why can’t we have more Elizibethan lyricists?
– Barry Manilow ROOLZ
ZOMG you weren’t lying.
“Yet, from the small part of today’s good “rockers” I’ve heard; not a lot of good music results. The fabulous “Boss” so enjoyed by millions; never wrote a good lyric, and made his fortune crunching the boards on the stage. Dressed like a hobo. A lot of clumsy athletics, some exhausting hot running, and he’s an icon! Give us a break Wrote! Most of the crap is electronic bashing!
Rodgers and Hart, and Hammerstein; Gershwin; those men made real music! Even Al Jolson was a greater performer; a bigger star than loony Michael Jackson. But then– you part with these all, hear a Shostakovich symphony. Go to an opera; listen to Verdi! They still sell out those 1980’s CD’s by Kiri te Kanawa and lesser talents; because no one can argue with musical TALENT. These days it’s about sales of Ipod junk. When’s the last time you bought copy of Bette Davis Eyes? It went slipping to oblivion! The song-writer had 15 minutes of fame. DEAD for all practical purposes.”
Bozo longs for the days when it wasn’t all about sex sex sex, when wholesome entertainment was watching Ozzie bite the heads off chickens. An act he has since practiced daily.
Snoop calls out the men to “kiss her, touch her, squeeze her buns.”
If you don’t squeeze her buns, how are you supposed to know if her cooking is wife-caliber or not?
Gotta love teh “Yngwie Malmsteen is true art!” guy in the comments.
“I understand the point that each generation pushes the envelop on the previous generation, but we are now at the point there the only thing we haven’t done is to show Britney Spears being gang-banged in a video by the insane posse (downloadable to your Ipod, of course).”
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaawl.
“Britney Spears being gang-banged in a video by the insane posse (downloadable to your Ipod, of course).”
DO NOT WANT! Though I might be interested in producing.
I’m sure he wouldn’t say that his generation is irredeemably immoral.
I suggest that they are irredeemably moral.
The “insane posse” only has two guys.
Fucking gangbangs, how do they work?
“Fucking gangbangs, how do they work?”
Ask DKW’s mom.
It’s fun to watch the libertarians at Bozell’s try to figure out how to cleanse society of music they hate without betraying their avowed libertarianism. See Kenneth L., Aug. 21 at 11:13 a.m. for a sterling example.
Ask DKW’s mom.
Last time I talked to her, a “gangbang” qualified as ten or more dudes at the same time. Anything else was just a normal day…
What, no love for Dowland? How disappointing.
“Yes, things were not so pleasant (or perfect) for some people in the 1950’s BUT back then, a middle class, white family could get by on ONE INCOME.”
FTFY, asshole. And, wait, so how does this correlate to the moral degredation of our society?
“With the rise of so-called feminism, women lost lot more than they gained.”
Ohhhh, I see. Feminism has caused the stagnation of the American worker’s wage, the declining standard of living, and the rising cost of healthcare in this country. Good to know.
From Bozo’s comments: This is Mr. Getoffamalawn:
I love that last part.
“They ignore us! Whaaaa!”
When the fuck did people like this start getting computers? You’d think they’d want to avoid inviting such sin into their households.

Fifty years ago, everyone knew where to buy condoms, female birth control devices, female hygiene products, etc
Fifty years ago you couldn’t buy contraceptive devices in some places. See Griswold v. Connecticut. .
Fifty years ago, “feminine hygiene products” included BELTS.
I’ll take inane Tampax commercials instead, thankyouverymuch.
Also, too, are these motherfuckers complaining about the free market? Surely corporations don’t advertise condoms and Yaz just for the purpose of corrupting the youth?

All 22 songs had music videos, and 68 percent of them featured sexualized dancing, alcohol, violence, or partying scenes.
Are there more booty-claps per minute in rap videos this year than last year? It’s an important question, one we as Americans deserve to know the answer to, and one that only Bozell’s valuable research can uncover.
I love how he says “68 percent of them” instead of “15 of them”. Makes it sound more like he was doing science than spending an entire day watching music videos with his pants around his ankles.
How many books of the bible feature sexualized dancing, alcohol, violence, or partying scenes, I wonder? Jesus’ first miracle ever was to keep a wedding party from running out of booze while it was still going strong — by turning 180 gallons of water into wine. But then, like now, massive amounts of alcohol at a wedding only led to chaste dancing and nonviolence.
What, no love for Dowland? How disappointing.
