What A Day For An Auto-Da-Fe!
Pajamas Media’s resident fashion-plate and bow-tie adorned dildo brings us his latest installment in the wingnut myth that Obama Is a Muslim intent on imposing sharia law in the United States. Kimball’s editors — no doubt concerned that the typical Pajamas Media lip-moving reader rarely makes it past the headline — pack everything into the post title: “Why It’s OK for the U.S. Govt. to Burn Bibles But Condemn Burning the Koran.”
it was just a week or two ago that everyone from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., sort of, SC) to Gen. David Petraeus and Sec. of State Hillary Clinton loudly condemned the Rev. Terry Jones for presiding over his Koran barbecue. Burning a holy book, you see, was hateful, intolerant, and extremely disrespectful.
…
At the same time, however, it is OK, in the Obama regime, for the U.S. government to burn Bibles. Yes, that’s right. Bibles were sent to U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. But the U.S. government determined that the presence of Bibles in this “devoutly Muslim country” might inflame the natives. So they burned them.
Obama the Kenyan Muslim jihadist is snatching Bibles from the hands of our troops and burning those Bibles at the same time he’s condemning a good Christian pastor for burning a Koran. Better stock up on Budweiser and pork barbecue while you can, people, because Obama’s coming to take all that away and force your kids to attend a madrassa.
There is apparently no limit to the facial absurdity of the narratives that wingnuts will peddle to discredit Obama.
If you click the supporting link that Roger graciously provides to substantiate this latest Obama outrage, you’ll see that Roger — surprise, surprise — isn’t quite telling the whole story.
Missing fact #1: The Bibles weren’t sent to “U.S. soldiers” but were sent to one soldier by his church to be passed out to local Afghans.
Missing fact #2: Military regulations forbid proselytization of the locals by troops, mostly to prevent endangerment of the troops.
Missing fact #3: The Bibles were written in Pashto and Dari.
Missing fact #4: The only U.S. troops who could read the Bible in those languages are gay translators who were drummed out of the military. #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement.
Missing fact #5: The military actions at issue occurred in 2008 during the Bush administration.
(Note: The artificial dildo in the picture illustrating this post has written to complain about being included in a photograph with Kimball)
They’re burning dildoes!!!!1!!11!!!!
Won’t someone please think of the children!!!
Bow ties are cool.
‘course not on him
Freshness dates are Anti-American!
What do you have against dildoes? This is a totally unfair comparison.
Yes, but Obama used his time machine to go back and burn the Bibles. He stopped off on the way to 1961 to place the announcements in the Honolulu newspaper.
*pssst* Tintin. You mean “facile” absurdity, surely?
You’re a private citizen Kimball, why the fuck aren’t you over there “Preaching”?
Or digging ditches for that matter?
Missing fact #5: The military actions at issue occurred in 2008 during the Bush administration.
“At the same time” for broad definitions of “same.” Also definitions of “in the Obama regime” that include “in the Bush regime.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., closet)
FIxxorred!
P.S. Darn you, Dr. Dick. You got more recommends (so far!) than I.

It’s not like he’s fucking a truck or anything…
@Proteus454: no,I do mean facial absurdity, as in absurd on its face, or obviously absurd.
Oh hey! By using the wonderfully generic phrase of “U.S. Government” Kimball is completely telling the truth. NOW and forever.
I love this part too, “it is OK, in the Obama regime,” because it is totally a Military policy. Just like it was under Bush. Just like under Bush it was totally treason to insult the commander in chief, Kimball knows he has to insult the soldiers for not being more secret about converting the savages.
Smart guy, and totally not elitist.
P.S. Darn you, Dr. Dick. You got more recommends (so far!) than I.
Yeah but you’ve still got a big lead over Sande from Chiang-mai.
Nobody has looked cool in a bow tie since Sean Connery, in the 1960s.
PS: I <3 that pshop, Tintin. Consider me your #1 stalker, 4-eva!
Oh god, won’t somebody please think of the little gingerbread men!
Why I bet one of “Afghanistan’s Burned Bibles” would snag a tidy sum.
Probably wouldn’t even have to find non-English versions.
Heh, someone else reads PJM.
Missing fact #5: The military actions at issue occurred in 2008 during the Bush administration.
Easy: Bush was a liberal (or if they’re being charitable, “well meaning but wrong” – on anything Islam-related, conservatives have completely disowned the Bush legacy).
it was just a week or two ago that everyone from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., sort of, SC) to Gen. David Petraeus and Sec. of State Hillary Clinton loudly condemned the Rev. Terry Jones for presiding over his Koran barbecue. Burning a holy book, you see, was hateful, intolerant, and extremely disrespectful.
IMO, neither the government nor the media should’ve acknowledged the guy at all. This isn’t the first time it’s happened (it can’t be – think about the amount of raw Muslim-hating rage in this country and the number of churches/groups like Terry Jones) and it won’t be the last – when the assholes are of this petty caliber, just let it go. Too bad it had to be blown up into this.
That incompetent dipshit Bush was re-elected (actually, elected for the first time) because of 9/11 and ONLY because of 9/11. The country got behind that turd in a way that those Refucklicans would NEVER support Obama.
And I love the absolute freakout in the comments section. The very first one is a guy explaining in as conservative terms as possible that we have to be practical, and that since we know Afghans are all ignorant superstitious monkey cannibal savages, we shouldn’t drive them into more of a feeding frenzy than they’re already in.
All the comments come back strongly disapproving, suggesting that the man is capitulating and explaining, “all the more reason to treat them with contempt.” The Internet tough guy validation of spitting on an Afghan is worth more than the lives of the Westerners at risk, apparently.
There should be law against any man under 70 wearing a bow tie.
Young fogeyism of the bowtie wearing variety is a very specially noxious form of douchebaggery.
P.S. Darn you, Dr. Dick. You got more recommends (so far!) than I.
LOL! The advantage of the early adopter is all. 😉

Not exactly humorless, but otherwise – see the related skit in Mystery Science Theatre 3000’s Godzilla vs. Megalon.

Gherkin off.
Whiny Douche pretty much proves my theory that independent contractors, who have to pay estimated tax quarterly, as opposed to wage-slaves whose taxes are mostly withheld are the people who whine the most about taxes.
Their tax-aversion is more psychological than based on anything legitimate. It’s resentment at having to pay up for contract income. If it were withheld & Whiny didn’t really have to deal w/ it, there wouldn’t be nearly as much bitching & moaning.
Whiny jerk: my calculations were a teensy bit off, so this week, I had the opportunity to send them enough money to purchase a decent used car…. Government can’t balance a checkbook. They’re idiots. I know finance math. I do it for a living.
How nice for him that he gets paid well enough that the fraction of income he owes in taxes for one quarter is more than many people make in a year, but judging from that post his fiction writing kind of sucks.

“Look, he was born ‘Barry Soetero.’ Somewhere along the line, he changed his name,” said Trump — referring to the surname of Obama’s mother’s second husband, Lolo Soetoro, whom she married four years after Obama was born. “I heard he had terrible marks, and he ends up in Harvard. He wrote a book that was better than Ernest Hemingway, but the second book was written by an average person.”
“You suspect Bill Ayers?” said Hannity.
“I said, Bill Ayers wrote the book,” Trump replied.
Trump also added during the discussion: “He was best friends with Bill Ayers. Bill Ayers was a super-genius. And a lot of people have said he wrote the book. Well recently, as you know last week, Bill Ayers came out and said he did write the book.”

Aha! Soetero is his real father. He’s just pretending to be black. He is actually Asian. That Obama sure is devious.
“The Old Man and the Sea” was actually based on the life of Lolo Soetero. Were through the looking glass people.
Yes, but Obama used his time machine to go back and burn the Bibles.
Hello, we’re from the Chinese Government and we’re here to arrest you.

At least the tense is correct. We went through the looking glass when the country elected a washed up B actor who claimed tax cuts would increase revenues as president.

Ladleds and jellyspoons, here’s how it’s done downunder.
~
Can’t we stop quibbling about who burned what when and just accept that Obama is a dangerous monster who presages the return of the Great Old Ones? For the sake of bipartisanship, I mean?
I think my favorite part was where Kimball illustrated our absurd deference to Muslims through the example of the regulations at Guantanamo.
Yeah, because if there’s one place where Muslims are treated right, it’s Guantanamo.
Actually, I went to Google, just to see what the rules governing bibles are in Guantanamo, and found this.
I’m actually not sure how that ultimately turned out; the fact that Mr. Paracha was denied a bible has somewhat been overshadowed by the fact that he is an old man with heart problems who has been imprisoned without charges for the last 7 years.
This is another one of those arguments where if you file off all the crazy, I’m kind of in agreement; I suspect that, given all our wars and stuff, the US government really is being much more careful about handling korans then they are bibles, and that burning a book is not a crime and can’t be blamed for any assholes who choose to riot over it. Lindsey Graham needs to shut the fuck up.
I’m not sure how any of that leads to the conclusion that the US Government is going to be taken over by Sharia. By the way, do you think any of these people know what Sharia is aside from “A bad muslim thing”?
@ Galactic Dustbin
Bowties are only cool if you’re from Gallifrey.
Of course this guy’s not going to get called on it b/c if you’re a conservative blowhard, you’re not expected to be factually correct so long as you’re blowing hard.
I’m not sure how any of that leads to the conclusion that the US Government is going to be taken over by Sharia.
Need for an uber-enemy. The notion that the Muslim world could even unite itself under one Sharia Law, let alone impose it on the most powerful nations in the world, is fucking lunacy. But teabaggers tend to be fucking lunatics, so it’s a marriage made in heaven.
By the way, do you think any of these people know what Sharia is aside from “A bad muslim thing”?
I think one of the main reasons the “Islam is the enemy” meme has caught on is because the average Roger Kimball reader is literally too ignorant to know anything about al-Qaeda other than, they’re Muslim and bad. So the idea that they’d know about anything as specific as “what is Sharia Law?” is pretty hysterical.

So, Roger Dimbulb is a waiter somewhere? Ass’t. concierge at a two-star hotel? Because when I see someone in a vest & a bow-tie carrying packages (Forgive me, revolutionary bros. & sisters!) I instinctively think service person. (Not exactly the words I thought, but why make myself look worse?)
Smut is all Hipgnosis on us lately.
“Look, he was born ‘Barry Soetero.”
Here’s what I think is so hilarious about this.
Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. was born (in the US!!!!) the son of a Kenyan guy, and given his name, but as a young boy growing up in American culture, he was called by an Americanized nickname, Barry.
Then his divorced mother married another foreign national, and moved her family, for a period of time, to a foreign country.
So the wing-nuts have decided to claim that Obama is EVEN MORE foreign than Kenyan, giving him his step-father’s Indonesian surname. And at the same time, mock him for assuming later in life his full, Islamicized given name, by claiming his name is really the American name “Barry.”
“He’s not a Kenyan-American, he’s an Indonesian Muslim!”
“His name is really Barry, he’s just trying to look special by calling himself Barack!”
I don’t understand how they can have those two thoughts simultaneously.
(Plus, wouldn’t he still be an American citizen, born of Stanley Ann Dunham and her second husband?)
Not being much of a scholar, I was trying to decide whether Tintin was going for

Whiny jerk: my calculations were a teensy bit off, so this week, I had the opportunity to send them enough money to purchase a decent used car…. Government can’t balance a checkbook. They’re idiots. I know finance math. I do it for a living
If his calculations were so far off that the difference is enough to pay for even a BAD used car, perhaps he’s not exactly good at finance math his own self.
On the citizenship question, my understanding is that his mother is not enough. The definition of “natural born citizen”, for someone born outside US territory required that both parents were US citizens or, if only one parent was a US citizen, that parent had to have spent some number of years (after some magic age) in the US.
Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. But if he had been born in Kenya, his mother would not have satisfied the requirements to make him a natural born citizen.
Now I’m really confused.
Kristin Chenowith is Kenyan?
“Is coloratura. Is like a snake.”
MTBochs-
Why do I think that the real history of that rant is he tried to cheat his taxes, got caught, had to “fix the teensy error” of several hundred thousand dollars of unreported income and now is trying to spin having to pay a fine in lieu of jail time as being a principled martyr to “Big Government”.
Also, it is more than apparent that most people have no idea what they are doing with taxes and are more responding to how they make them feel stupid or how they are caught being dishonest frauds and that creates the “anti-tax” backlash of stupidity.
I think if we had a “Big Government” center where the IRS would calculate your owed tax or rebate and would either send it to you or take it from your bank account automatically as an option rather than the forms that these same dumbasses of a middle class would on average like taxes more than they do now and it wouldn’t be as successful of a rallying cry.
Fuck, look at the average middle class response to “taxes” versus say health insurance, 401Ks, or stock in lieu of bonuses, not to mention the host of hidden fees by banking, credit card, and other companies.
I suspect half the negative reaction is entirely about having to fill in a damn sheet and do math on one’s own time with a deadline rather than any principled or unprincipled stand about “taxes am too low for Bizarro”.
Also, seriously, finance manager and he’s talking about “I made an error on taxes and had to pay more”. That’s your fucking job is math and figuring out taxes. You just admitted you are grossly, and I mean grossly incompetent at the job that pays you, I guarantee you a salary that I can only dream of as a fucking unemployed MS in Biology.
Cry me a fucking river in this economy, Lord Douchenozzle.
On topic to the main post, given the wingnuts realizing that they are not bound by any reality based position to form their beat poetry of grievances, I would pay any amount of money to see our moribund, compromised, meaningless propaganda factory of a media actually stand up for the concept of a real functioning objective reality just once.
Just a quick, “contrary to right-wing claims, the sky is in fact blue today, In other news, the Colts have a white uniform.”
Just once, instead of the unending parade of “some on the right say Hitler was a pink unicorn funded by Code Pink. Others say otherwise. We’ll bring you a panel of 3 unicorn fetishists and the author of ‘Hitler’s gay commie subversion as a unicorn’ right after the break.”
Because it is more than obvious that the wingnuts feel totally justified to base their delusions on nothing because they know that no one important is going to call them out. So what if we hippie fags know that the Bush Administration thought actively trying to force convert the people whose land and oil we’re currently stealing was a bad idea and it wasn’t secret proof of Obama’s muslim perfidy. If they can sell it up the chain to Fox, then all we’ll eventually hear is “Is Obama coddling muslim terrorists aiming to rape your white women in order to facilitate his plans to pass Sharia Law, next up sober news moderate Glenn Beck.”
I think the stuff is finally getting to me again.
I don’t understand how they can have those two thoughts simultaneously.

Once again people, bowties are cool.
Just because a couple Republican cobags (redundant, I know) choose to wear them doesn’t invalidate an entire item of clothing.
Bowties take confidence to wear and dexterity to tie. I occasionally wear ’em and respect others who do likewise – providing, of course, that they’re not Republican cobags.
This is like people who rag on fedoras just because hipsters wear them (okay, hipsters actually wear trilbies, but everybody seems to call them fedoras anyway).
Bow ties are OK if they are black or white, though the latter is increasingly rare. They are worn with penguin suits and can provide the note of eccentricity one seeks if they look as if they were tied by a drunk. I find this easy to achieve.
Also on topic too, I had a license plate once that said; “da fe” Very few got the joke though it was an act of faith to drive that particular car and it was distinctly possible that it might burst into flame.

Missing fact #5 is no longer missing, it turns out it’s just central to his point!
[Moynihan] was spectacularly wrong in predicting that the 1996 welfare reform act would result in millions of destitute families and children living on the street. “Thus ends the progressive era,” he declared in a note to himself. If only.
So those homeless people I see every day don’t exist? Good to know.
” I apologize for that error; butI also note that it changes the point of the column not one whit.”
In fact it is central to his point
So those homeless people I see every day don’t exist?

” I apologize for that error; butI also note that it changes the point of the column not one whit.”
Only because there is not one whit in the column in the first place. It is a totally whitless column.
I also note that it changes the point of the column not one whit.
Indeed, it is central to his point.
Missing fact #5: The military actions at issue occurred in 2008 during the Bush administration.
Hey now, everbody knows that the Bush administration began on 9/12/2001, and ended on 5/1/ 2003 with the “Mission Accomplished” speech.
The (9/11 attacks were Clinton’s fault, and the disastrous occupation of Iraq was Obama’s fault).
Get it straight, people!

If anyone amused by that Ayn Rand comment at BJ the other day hasn’t read the rest of her blog, now’s a fine time to start.
Oh, do.
Quote of the day–
“Here, young man, your hormones are raging. Let’s go in this bedroom, and we’ll engage in some homosexual acts. You’ll find you like it.”

Montana rep. Ken Peterson (r), on recruitment of non-gays.
He has a pretty active imagination, doesn’t he?
“Here, young man, your hormones are raging. Let’s go in this bedroom, and we’ll engage in some homosexual acts. You’ll find you like it.”
C’mon, representative Peterson, don’t leave us hanging, did you like it or didn’t you?
What’s the difference between a soprano and a pit bull?
Sopranos have resonance where pit bulls have brains. Take it from an alto… We know.

AHEM SIR! I SAID AHEM!
Sounds a bit well-practiced.
“C’mon, representative Peterson, don’t leave us hanging, did you like it or didn’t you?”
I’m pretty sure he’s the recruiter not tHe recruited in that scenario.
Gocart, when you BITE ME you will discover I am not a sir.
It doesn’t count if you were recruited in college and you were really drunk.
“He has a pretty active imagination, doesn’t he?”–BBBB
Well yeah, but I find it odd that the homosexual talks exactly like Peterson would in a similar situation, if he were gay.
On-topic: I really like Grifting in the Wind’s idea of selling the bibles that were burned in Afghanistan. The trade in relics needs a shot in the arm, and we seem to have a market here in the U.S.
Also, alas, alack, & c. Thread Bear can ahem us both, so he’ll have to BITE US both, too.
Oh COME ON Sir Git.
My apologies tigris
I realized that after I hit submit
Your name should have been a clue
Plus I think I already knew
The ‘joke’ works better with ‘SIR”
and lastly, it was not intended as a factual statement.
Are we cool and when can we schedule this “bite me” thing? I am free Wednesdays and Saturdays.

One could always sell strands of the pitch-black, never dyed (HONEST!!!) hair of St. Ronbo, and claim that it cures disease and wards off socialist union thugs.
You’ll find you like it.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan, it should be noted, was usually attired in a bow tie.

Once you go gay, you keep pussy at bay.

I blame ZRM shambling.

You do not know the half of it and he is far from alone. I do really wish all of these loony toons would go Galt and leave the rest of us in the state alone.
“Gocart, when you BITE ME you will discover I am not a sir.”
It is not my fault that my default assumption is male. Yes, I am a victim of the patriarchy also.

Offer not valid for lesbians. They hope, anyway.
Damn zombies always gum up the works.
““Here, young man, your hormones are raging. Let’s go in this bedroom, and we’ll engage in some homosexual acts. You’ll find you like it.”
Hey man, I’m just doing my part to stop abortions!
Men are the real victims of patriarchy; women are the sexists.
[Should I quit while I am ahead?]
Oooh, I like where you’re going with this.
We need to come up with a pithy slogan to promote this new pro-gay sex/anti-abortion agenda.
Somebody is certainly asking to be oppressed.
Also: NO GUMMING.
Hey man, I’m just doing my part to stop abortions!
That’s too perfect.
“Hey man, I’m just doing my part to stop abortions!”
If more gay men fucked women 20 and 30 years ago we wouldn’t have this budget problem with all the new FICA tax revenue and such.
“We need to come up with a pithy slogan to promote this new pro-gay sex/anti-abortion agenda.”
Don’t make a fetus, come in Cletus.

Don’t make a fetus, cum in Cletus (TM)
Stop Abortion!
Be Homosexual, not Homocidal.
So I says to Mabel, I says, “Don’t make a fetus, come in Cletus.” and everyone laughed at my staggering wit.
I dare you to sue me Mr. Gocart Mozart, if that is your real name (and if it is, my condolences).
P.S. Please don’t sue me.
“Be Homosexual, not Homocidal”
Ahem.
“Here, young man, your hormones are raging. Let’s go in this bedroom, and we’ll engage in some homosexual acts. You’ll find you like it.”
Man, that’s got to be the smoothest, hawtest pickup line I’ve ever heard! That man must get more trim than a barber!
I appreciate the awkward formality. It’s almost endearing.

Super. Copypasta troll has assumed another nym.
Fuck you, Troofie.
Thanks for sharing. What about badgers?
Watch me blow this goat.
You, sir, are no Whale Chowder.
Badger blowing is only for special occasions.
How on earth did the term “dildo” ever become synonymous with a “doofus” since the dildo is the very antithesis of a doofus – i.e. a “sex machine”?
Hence the existence of phrase “more ass than a toilet seat”, but not, “more pussy than a dildo”.
Nym stealing is a sure route to Tintin executing the killfile.
Thanks for sharing. What about badgers?
I won’t share my badger with anyone. He and I are special friends.

Well that’s a relief.
Wow, just like old times! Namestealing Troofie pooing all over everything.
I don’t remember seeing anything like that since just before a great big LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Clue for the copyist: Here in the 21st century, real Americans have scroll wheels on their mouses.
No one’s even reading that ignorant drivel for laughs or schadenfreude, cretin.
And a real man would link to the original crap’s site, so the author could be beaten into submission.
It’s kind of fun that the thing the troll uses as a negative tool are the nonsensical ravings of his own compatriots.
“I know what will REALLY be unpleasant – the insane rantings I espouse!!”

I suppose reasonable people can differ on whether we should boycott Passover and Easter this year to underscore the threat posed by the Left-Islamofascist alliance.

within seconds the group managed to take a hammer to the plexiglass screen and slash the photograph with another sharp object, thought to be a screwdriver or ice-pick
Great job, guys. You slashed a photograph. Serrano can make another print.
Censorship FAIL.
And all for Catholicism. You’d think they might beat a molesting priest to death with a hammer, BUT NO.
I’d like to see all the art-destroyers’ press releases about how out-of-control radical Muslims are.
Hey evryone. Long time lurker, first time commenting.

PS: Oh and I fell for it, I actually read te second article that the troll posted.Shariah Law is upon us!!! (soon, if republicans don’t get elected!)
Perhaps the guards were given unclear instructions.

Copying and pasting large blocks of text is very exacting work. Sometimes when I’m concentrating very hard, I loose control of my sphincter. It’s embarrassing, but I gladly pay the price of ruined undergarments and foul odors to bring the truth to this comedy blog.
Avoiding getting hit by hammers generally trumps clear instructions.
What is that nostril-torturing stench?
Oh, hi, Troofie.

At least fake Gary writes his own posts.
How did that go down, Troofus?
In honour of our wonderful troll friend, I almost considered spamming the thread with writing that was actually good.
I was thinking I would copy/paste an English translation of , Théophile Gautier’s La Morte Amoureuse, – a lovely little story from 1836 about a priest who falls in love with a vampire – but I decided against it.

The thread…
It’s dead, Jim.
Since this thread seems as dead as Julius Caesar, here’s a link to something posted on Balloon Juice for y’all to read while waiting for a new thread:
9 Things The Rich Don’t Want You To Know About Taxes.
I was gone all of yesterday and haven’t caught up yet, so if someone’s already linked to this, I offer my most abject apologies.
Well played, Spearhafoc, very well played indeed!
I was listening to NPR yesterday, their business show called Marketplace, I think. There was a story about taxes, being that it was April 18. And the anchor was talking about how the poor don’t pay taxes…..”so it works out pretty well for them.”
Yeah. It’s great. Except for the being poor part.
Must be that “Liberal NPR” I keep hearing about.
Yeah. It’s great. Except for the being poor part.
Yeah, also, the more seriously injured you are, the faster you’ll get processed in an emergency room, so people who’ve been shot in the chest three times are actually better off than people who’ve broken an ankle…
Detachment doesn’t begin to describe this.
“And the anchor was talking about how the poor don’t pay taxes…..”so it works out pretty well for them.”
GOOD. GRIEF.
Stay classy, Orange County!
A few years ago, a WSJ columnist referred to those who don’t pay federal income taxes as “lucky ducks.”
Good link, Chris. Curious that David Cay Johnston is rarely seen on television……….
This is like people who rag on fedoras just because hipsters wear them (okay, hipsters actually wear trilbies, but everybody seems to call them fedoras anyway).
What about fezzes? Fezzes are cool.
It’s the Willy Week! I pick up a dead tree copy every week – it’s free, right? They sometimes have decent writing as well, as in this case.
On the other off-topic topic, I’m glad I missed that marketplace comment. That would have sent me through the roof. It’s not just that the notion is so … so … I don’t have the word for it but also because it’s just fucking wrong. The working poor pay lots of taxes – payroll taxes, sales taxes, etc.- , just perhaps not Federal income tax.
Again, I am speechless.
“And the anchor was talking about how the poor don’t pay taxes…..”so it works out pretty well for them.”
Just fantasizing here, but wouldn’t it be nice if that anchor’s employer were so kind as to give that anchor an opportunity to pay no taxes and see just how well that works out for him or her.
Kaaaaaaai Ryssdal?
I missed that somehow. How did I miss that? I think I was running errands.
Unemployed people get to sleep in, so that works out pretty well for them, too.
this is my favorite…especially since it follows the ‘i didn’t think about it being racist until somebody else told me it was’ quote. let me see if i follow this: you didn’t think it was racist, and you are not because you have friends who are black, and yet, you found this amusing that you sent it to only a few friends who would not be upset by it because it’s not racist?
Unemployed people get to sleep in, so that works out pretty well for them, too.
some of them also get to buy any kind of groceries they want and use a nifty little card to pay for them!
Davenport said, “Oh, come on! Everybody who knows me knows that I am not a racist. It was a joke. I have friends who are black. Besides, I only sent it to a few people–mostly people I didn’t think would be upset by it.”
Did she send it to all her bestest black buddies? Or just the white racist friends she knew would love it?
Unemployed people get to sleep in, so that works out pretty well for them, too.
But when you’re unemployed there’s no vacation. Although you get to stay home and play synthesizers, so there’s that.

Pretty schizophrenic relationship they have with racism (in public, at least – it’s much less ambiguous in private).
A right wing commentator at PJTV once explained that the right couldn’t possibly be racist, because a real racist would wear the badge proudly. (This is the same group that believes liberals are stealth communists who’re just eschewing the label because it’s unpopular).
Fezzes ARE cool.

It demanded to know the identity of “the coward” who supplied [the author] with a copy of her offensive email.
because it was totes a non-racist email…
I seem to recall an Onion op-ed by a (fictional) asshole who argues that he knows he’s an asshole, it’s his thing.
Pardon me for not Googling “Onion asshole man” or the like. But if I did have a link, it would satirize the “I wear the [racist/asshole/etc.] badge proudly” gambit.
Are you sure that was an Onion op-ed, and not Bobo Brooks in the Times today? (Or any other day, for that matter.)

When I was MUCH younger i had a strong sociopathic misanthropic thing going on (which thing I have mostly overcome, btw). I was an asshole, I knew I wS a fuckingjerk, I worked at being a dickwad and I enjoyed it. Also I was very very good at it. Too.

I’ve always wanted to be a misanthropic asshole. I’m no good at it, though.
Hey, Pup: I liKe the iDea of randOm capitaliZation.
With a few notable exceptions, very few people would admit to being a racist. They will say things like, “I’m not a racist, but I just think those people should know their place”, or “I’m not a racist, but I sure wouldn’t want a family of nigros to move into this neighborhood. What if one of ’em wanted to date my daughter?”. It’s up to everyone else to identify them as racists. (Hint, anyone who begins a statement with “I’m not a racist, but…”)
I’m a misanthrope. Kinda pride myself on not being an asshole, though. Why should everyone have to suffer cuz I’m a cranky old lady?

Criminy, no wonder you don’t care for Crimea.
The National Geographic had a good article about Crimea recently. Apparently it’s suffering from an identity crisis because it’s physically attached to and administered by Ukraine, but a lot of the people there self-identify as Russians.
To make the situation even more absurd, one of the USSR’s leaders (I forget which one) “gave” Crimea to Ukraine. It was at the time a meaningless gesture, because Ukraine was of course part of the USSR. But once they got their independence, the Ukrainians dusted off that old decree and used it to cement their claim on Crimea, along with its naval base and other resources.

long time ago, before the frenzied discussions above (i’m assuming)…. but the 1st guy in the comments section didn’t say it about Afgans, he said it about all Arabs and Muslims. If even a commenter making modrate racist comments like this is getting condemed, then you have to wonder about the mentality of the others condeming him. Have these fuckers ever met a Muslim/Arab/Afgani? Or perhaps, like the old Iranains are Arabs meme, they just display their ignorance everytime they open their stupid mouths.

I think it’s Not A Gator who’s pointed this story out a few times: a hundred years or so ago, the New York banking industry actively colluded to lock Jews out of the business and keep it in the (all-WASP) family. But those antisemites were still accused of being a Jewish conspiracy by many other antisemites.

And then Hollywood, I talked about at our conference about this Glee kiss which is just, as I said at the conference, it shocked my soul. This romantic Glee kiss between two teenage boys depicted on the show, popular characters, one of the most popular if not the most popular TV show that young people watch, and here they had a romantic kiss between two teenage boys, I thought, what, how many young men and boys decided right there that they’re gay?
“Behold! The stupidest thing ever written at least until the next stupidest thing ever written is written which will be at most a couple of days picoseconds if history is any judge.”
Well, this is pretty stupid: Pajamas Media author has insight that the presidency isn’t the end of the road for Obama, that it’s just a stepping stone to becoming Supreme Ruler of the One World Government, which he will do in 2016 after he’s brought the U.S. down to the same level as the unwashed masses and created a world government.
The comments section, as usual, has its gems. A person squeals “Rotschild bankers’ conspiracy!” and is called out by two conservatives as (what else?) a liberal plant (because no one who’s not a liberal trying to imitate a conservative could ever possibly find his way to a wingnut website and spout outdated prejudices). A little further down, a person squeals “Obama Soros one-world conspiracy!” and no one objects. Apparently, all they had to do is find the right Bad Rich Jew.
It goes on with references to Frank Herbert’s Dune, Dinesh D’Souza’s “Roots of Obama’s Rage” thesis, and Richard Condon’s The Manchurian Candidate (an anti-McCarthyist book which the right nevertheless embraces with enthusiasm).
” You guys give me great material to plant the seeds of conservatism in his little head.

“[On TV] they had a romantic kiss between two teenage boys, I thought, what, how many young men and boys decided right there that they’re gay?”
I can sorta answer this! Some of the gay ones “decided” that. Some of the gay ones didn’t (on account of the show coming too late or too early for them). And NONE of the straight ones decided they were gay. That’s how many. Sorry I can’t be firmer on the gay numbers, but my straight number (0) is reliable.
It must be stressful worrying about all the socio-cultural situations that could cause males to “decide” (realize) they’re gay. Basically, any experience involving other men. Whether you’re sitting in a foxhole or on a church pew, there they are! And I don’t have to remind anyone that keeping your boy around females won’t help matters. That makes them gay more surely than Glee. The only solution, obviously, is sensory deprivation. Only somebody already gay could get gayer in a situation like that, I suspect.
Don’t worry too much about these people planting the seeds of conservatism in these kids, because I was to the right of Reagan when I was a kid, a regular Jr. John Birch.

Yeah, and I was raised by (what would now be called left-leaning) Republicans in a small Navy town. Somehow I managed to absorb the stupidity of the Republican argument and come out the other side sane. Same goes for CCD for that matter.
Which reminds me. Yesterday I saw a bumper-sticker that said “You can’t be both Catholic and Pro-choice.”
And I said to myself, “Yup.”

I was expecting a Catholic seminary. The camp sounds like an even better idea though. In America, where we’re free, we’ll have to do it through the private sector first, then the gov’t./church can take over.
Oh, speaking of pro-choice, I’ve been (mostly) lurking at LGM all afternoon. Some guy named Pastafarian has decided to weigh in with his opinions on infanticide. I’m sorry…abortion.
What would really shake things up is if we discovered a feral man-child, raised by penguins or something, and get this, he’s undeniably faggy.
He’d never adapt to civilization, would get depressed and die, for which reason the story could be made into a movie exemplifying a certain cinematic trope about the gays.

Soy is making kids ‘gay’ [scare quotes in original – ed]
Posted: December 12, 2006

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53327
“There’s a slow poison out there that’s severely damaging our children and threatening to tear apart our culture. The ironic part is, it’s a “health food,” one of our most popular.
Now, I’m a health-food guy, a fanatic who seldom allows anything into his kitchen unless it’s organic. I state my bias here just so you’ll know I’m not anti-health food.
The dangerous food I’m speaking of is soy. Soybean products are feminizing, and they’re all over the place. You can hardly escape them anymore.
The Ho is on record saying I can not be taken out but also you can’t clean me up.
To be fair, old chum, you are a dirty, dirty boy.
If conservatives had their way (deregulation), they’d have no means (labeling) of discovering just how much soy went into their processed foods.
You’d hafta wait until you or your kid got feminized before you could decide not to eat something or the other.
If that’s not a dystopian scenario, I don’t know what is.
You know what else is kinda gay? Hummis. Also a bit muslimy.

Btw, I think that article you cited is the EXACT one I read before.

Yes. Obviously, they would demand the soy content be higher (Iowa) or lower (Texas), but their masters would not give a fuck.
Speaking of Tejas, was anyone else as amused as I that Rick “nice hair and we’re gonna maybe secede well we’re fix in to anyway and also you can’t make us take gubmint money” Perry has asked The Usurper in Chief to declare Tejas a distaster zone (far too late if you ask me) and SEND ME FEMA DOLLARS!!!!!!
I been cheapin out lately. Last night I used the remnants of Sundays perfectly roasted chicken to make some chicken enchiladas. I just used canned green enchilada sauce. Well yeah, I did mix the chix with finely diced onion, some ancho chili powder, Mexican oregano, cumin, garlic, queso fresco, queso blanco and asadero but the sauce just came from a can. While I was at it I made cheese enchiladas in a red sauce too. A green salad with avocado and lemon and rich olive oyl vinaigrette worked well. There may have been some margaritas in there somewhere – I don’t recall.
Tonight I am taking the easy way out again. Turkey thighs, boned, little butter, s&p, sage in there then truss em up and rub with butter then roast. Quick savory bread pudding / dressing / stuffing thing and glazed herbed carrots.

Well, depends what you mean by “working poor.” Immigrants from the former colonies, Gypsies, and some kinds of East Europeans are a pretty big part of the underclass in Europe, and they’re completely fair game. Sarkozy’s “we’re going to rid you of this scum” comment? Not exactly a fringe view.

And finally, third consecutive Pajamas Media nativist thread. Apparently, John Cleese made a nostalgic statement that England no longer feels like what it did when he grew up. (PJTV funnily takes his statement that “it was an educated and middle-class culture. Now it’s a yob culture” as an endorsement of their own anti-education, anti-middle class ideology).
As usual, the comments are where it’s at –
But they’re not racist. It’s all about values. The immigrants’ skin color and nation of origin has nothing at all to do with it.
In a country founded on revolution against the British Empire, the self-described “patriots” and “Founding Father followers” actually shed tears for the British Empire and think it was a terrible “fate” that it wasn’t allowed to keep all the land it took by force. And that should tell you everything you need to know about the teabaggers.

There’s two possible outcomes for the gay bar thing, if it’s put into practice. One, it becomes a hangout for conservative activists which the actual gay community of Manhattan avoids like the plague. Two, it becomes an actual gay bar: the members of the bar and the mosque get acquainted, and they do not, in fact, kill each other, but probably end up on more friendly than not terms.
on the other hand, creepy cobags can say that the only reason women won’t touch them is because of leftist/feminist conditioning.
Sounds like an argument for leftist/feminist conditioning.

and again, i find my mind boggled by the premise of the whole gay muslim bar thing…is gutfed not aware that gays are despised by conservatives as well as by muslims? and all the goobs who chortle at the humor of it? really?
I think they’re operating on the basic premise that gays and Muslims are as shallow as they are, ruled by the tribal impulse to hate each other and not much else. Which isn’t surprising, since neither gays nor Muslims tend to gravitate to the GOP unless they’re bigots as well.

Putting on my pop psychologist hat for a moment, I suspect that in Ms. Boyle’s case there’s also some sort of addictive issue working here. That said, it’s pretty easy to see how she got pushed along that road.

I think the problem is that the “aesthetics” pushed by the Beauty Industrial Complex are unrelated to real world desires (I tend to be attracted to “generously proportioned” women, myself), but by pharmaceutical companies and purveyors of elective surgery.

It sure seems like alot of republican governors have over-the-top-stupid names. Fife Symington (formerly of AZ). Orval Faubus.
And now Butch Otter is up to no good in Idaho:
http://thinkprogress.org/2011/04/21/butch-otter-ends-medicaid/
Reince Priebus will no doubt become a governor some day. I like how his name includes both orderings of “i” and “e” (and I understand the oft-cited rule is irrelevant in his case).
Oops, I forgot that Orval Faubus was a democrat. If any wingnuts happen by while I am at lunch, they should remember the context of his affiliation.
A reader sent me this quote of Hitler after signing the Reichskonkordat.
This is central to my point.
“Orval Faubus was a democrat”
You would have been fine if your original statement had been “It sure seems like alot of asshole governors…”
You’re welcome.
The fact is, do you think Barry is going to take away our guns and put us in FEMA camps before he starves us or after we’re already dead? What are your thoughts on Shania law?
I bet Gary’s boobs are HUGE.
I call fake Gary.
I leave town and the Sadlies stop publishing? I can’t handle this kind of pressure.
Publishing is theft.
I call fake Gary.
There is no real Gary. Gary Ruppert is a creation of George Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic company- the original Gary was operated by three “little people” and a team of puppeteers.

Good Lord, Gary, such cruel slander against someone named “Barry.” You must work for LBJ’s campaign!
In your guts, you know he’s nuts…
“It sure seems like alot of asshole governors…”
That’s all I learned from listening to Mingus’ “Fables of Faubus” a thousand times, apparently.
Maybe they should let Gary write a post. It would at least be fresh.
Whew, go away for a while and nothing happens. Catered a Acadian dinner party last night, oyster stuffed zucchini w/shrimp cream sauce, full on jambalaya (smoked sausage, shrimp, oysters, all the veggies), czar salad, fresh bread, custard tart w/fresh strawberries. And I had to play music for two hours with the clients’ kids after (it’s a new variant of “My girlfriend, she sings.” my kids, aieeee!). Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the thread still lives.
El Manquécito is Obama’s secret Salad Czar!!! OMG, commies! Run!!!eleven

I think teh Editors went to see the Atlas Shrugged movie for some serious snarkliciousness, were convinced by Rand’s message, and went Galt on our asses.
What this thread needs is MOAR PENIS
Possible discussion topic: as I posted earlier at my place, turns out the teabaggers really like their free rascal scooters. Also, Paul Ryan got booed in his own district for opposing tax hikes on the rich.
Signs of possible sanity in the world, or merely the eye of the shitstorm of crazy?
Oh, and most important of all — a free Laurelwood Brewing tasting starts in an hour across the street. I should probably get some work done before then…

Forget the looters and parasites at work, and go Malt.
What has John Galt been up to? Whocouldathunk!
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/05/nyregion/05deutsche.html?_r=2
The three men, and the demolition contractor for which two of them worked, the John Galt Corporation, are charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
The evidence, Mr. Fields said, will also establish “that these defendants knew the building was a death trap.”
LOL, glorious! Who is John Malt?!?
Trouble in Paradise, or Beck “ratfucking” on behalf of co-religionist?
I am posting a comment on a Sadly, No! thread.

What do you have against dildoes? This is a totally unfair comparison.
Re-read the post. It calls it an artificial dildo. The Consortium of Dildo Manufacturers are up in arms about the market being flooded these cheap and potentially dangerous inferior products.
Spearhafoc, I agree that bowties can be cool…provided they are on the right endearingly snarky nerdy guy.
They’re also up-in-arms about misuse of their products.
Well, traffic usually sucks in LA, but today it’s this guy’s fault.
“This week Glenn Beck has taken to his radio show to attack me as a Progressive, which he has said is the same as a “cancer” and a “Nazi.” What did I do that apparently caused him to link me to a fatal disease and a form of government that murdered millions of innocent Jews?”
At least he didn’t call the Huckster a conservative which is the same thing as a dildo and painful rectal itch.
Huckabee: “But he ought to clean his gun and point it more carefully lest it blow up in his face like it did this time.”
Ooo-err.
“cleaning one’s gun”

What a jerky thing to do
Thanks Jerk. Now I can spin the page around in circles with my scroll-button thingy.
Weeee!
I probably shouldn’t have done that so soon after eating.
Look, I am 62 years old & goddamnit post before I likely croak, get constipated, or or or something, I forgot.
Do you think Fox News will be calling him Sen. John Ensign (D-NY) now?
Ensign’s admission that he cheated on his wife seemingly foreshadowed his political downfall. Amid the scandal, his parents provided the Hamptons with $96,000 described as a gift, and Ensign helped find Doug Hampton a lobbying job.
Bringing your parents in to bribe your lover’s spouse! I guess conservatives really are all about family values!

I got a pork butt in the fridge and I’m not feeling very ambitious. I’m thinking I’ll sautE some onions garlic and a jalapeño or three in the pressure cooker. Squeeze a couple limes and an orange (I went wild on blood oranges, need tomuse ’em up) and probably just toss the rinds in as well. Cumin, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon whatever else looks interesting from the spice cabinet. Some chicken stock. Oh, I prolly oughta brown the pr0k first. Add some chix stock and seal. Pull it in large shreds, reduce the liquid and serve it all over rice and black beans. I’ll have The Ho put together a composed salad.
Laurelwood Hooligan Brown Ale, which was just recently made available in bottles.
Bend over.
DO WANT

I hope they don’t let the defendants make a closing statement, because it could go on for hours.
So, when is Trump going to release the Whitey Tape?
jim? you be careful! you could put an eye out with that thing!
I just had one of these 22ozers last night, and also tried a taste of it again at the free tasting today. It’s a very nice beer, it’s just not brown ale. Their website calls it a “Southern English Brown” but they’re full of shit. Not nearly enough malt for a Southern English brown. It could, if you were feeling very generous, fit into the Northern English category, but that’s still stretching it a bit. It’s more like an American Brown, but most like an Amber. Then again, almost every beer fits into the amber category, it’s so damn broad.
Still a good beer, just not what they’re calling it.
Sorry, brown ales are a bit of a specialty of mine so it pisses me off when people try to pass off non-brown ales as something they aren’t…
On a positive note, their limited edition Workhorse double IPA is quite nice, and is almost too drinkable as a 10%abv beer. Almost.
Boring.
Tell me when they invent a gun that shoots guns that shoot guns that shoot guns that shoot…etc.
Then maybe I’ll care.
I carved a notch into the tip so that it can accept the rubber, like this.

Brown ales are not boring, they’re subtle. Sheesh.
But, LASERS!!!!one! It’s only a matter of time before they’re installed in sharks.
Also, Wonder Woman should have her own cartoon show.
Superman’s had a couple and Batman’s had zillions. I say give Wonder Woman a chance.
Don’t try this at home.

OBS goes all beer snob on us. I was beginning to wonder if you had sampled a bit more at the Laurelwood tasting than was maybe good for ya. Yah, I don’t know a whole lot about authenticity and shit, but just as in cooking I think what tastes good and what you like is more important than authenticity. Not to excuse them for not labelig properly mind you, I just don’t give a shit.
There’s this hop fanaticism in the PNW that’s become dogma. I _like_ hops. I _like_ dry hopped brews. But the conventional wisdom is “more is better” just like “hotter is better” with the Sriacha fans. Puh fucking leaze, heat isn’t everything – flavor and more importantly balance is more important to me.
I’m not contradicting you, my friend, I’m just talking.
What, me a beer snob? No way!
I agree wholeheartedly about the overabundance of hops in current PNW beers — that’s a big problem with the Hooligan brown. Even though it’s not a hoppy beer by NW standards, it’s way too hoppy for the style they claim it is. They could have called it lots of things, but they called it a Southern English Brown, which is just complete crap.
Like I said, it’s a tasty beer, just call it something else!
We should do a show — you could do the irreverent/profane recipes, and I could provide insulting commentary on the proper beer(s) to drink with them…
For reference.
jim? you be careful! you could put an eye out with that thing!
Holy fuck! You could put an eye out of the Statue of Liberty with that thing.
So limp from boredom that I will ask: Has anyone else not seen the picture of Mr.Kimball for the last couple of days?
It exists for me. Adblock troubles?
Nope, none of that stuff. The pic doesn’t show when opened in a new tab either. Picture in previous post here is half gray. Both phenoms have been on-going even w/ turning the ol’ box off completely every night (or when ever).
Probably Time-Weasel Cable’s fault.

Sadly for me, he’s been right there at the top of the page, looking just like “Uncle Bob” from my yoot…right down to the dildo.
Damn, three years in office…..this is just about the SLOWEST, pokiest, Islamofascist-terrorist-jihadist that ever was! When are the burkas gonna be mass distributed along with the Halal eating guides? Barry sure is takin his time…….
Any rationale from the babbling monocell peons on Faux News on what’s taking the Muslim coup so long?
MB, have you tried clearing your cache?

Good damn question. I was just reading more crap about Atlas Sucked: The Flick, & some cretin was going on about how it was such a bold warning of the impending socialist take-over, yada, w/o really noting that the effing book was published almost 55 yrs. ago. Or that “communism” had collapsed in the interim.
And thanks to Hogeye G., whose diagnosis was spot on.
BEER FIGHT!!!!
j/k you guys. OBS, you didn’t tell me that the freebies last until 7:00, I was able to get my share after I got back from my field trip at 6:30. My favorite was their organic Red. I’ll buy you a beer, but I have to be out of town for a couple of weeks so it will have to wait until the second week in May.
I cleared out my cache last night and slept like a baby.

Remember what Ronald Reagan said when Medicare was passed?
Well, Medicare’s been around for close to fifty years, and Republicans are still telling us what a free and wonderful country America is. I realize GOP voters have the attention span of a goldfish, but doesn’t any of them ever wake up and think, “wait, why aren’t all those horrible things that were supposed to happen to me happening to me?”
Well, I know that Canada’s healthcare has left us as a post-apocalyptic nightmare world where the sick and elderly are either sent out on ice floes or ground up into food.
So there’s that.
