If Only Stupidity Were A Self-Limiting Condition.
ABOVE: Jim “Sexy Beast” Hoft
“UNREAL!” screams the Hoft post headline. Uh, oh, I think, this must be really good. Well, it’s not only unreal but …
This ought to make you sick…
Sheez, I say, preparing myself for the worst. Let me get a plastic bucket over here.
This ought to make you sick…
The official Obama policy:Photos of dead US soldiers – Good.
Photos of dead Osama Bin Laden – Bad.
Good lord, man. What’s going on? Is Obama posting photos of U.S. soldiers with gory head wounds on the White House website? Is he telling the Pentagon to send pictures of wounded corpses to the networks for the evening news? Because, you know, if he is, well . . .
In February 2009, his second month in office, Barack Obama changed official policy to allow photos of dead US soldiers.
That can’t be.! How could he? It even says so in the article that Hoft links.
The Obama administration has decided to open the gates of Dover. In a policy to be unveiled today, Pentagon officials told reporters, Defense Secretary Robert Gates — the only holdover from the Bush administration — will announce that news photos of flag-draped coffins will be allowed, as long as families agree.
That’s it. I’m voting for Trump. Oh, wait . . .
… news photos of flag-draped coffins will be allowed …
There really is no reason to ask, at this point, if Hoft could really be this stupid. Nor should it really come as a big surprise that you can find someone with an even more profound and heartbreaking intellectual disability in his comments section:
THis is a madman in office, a lunatic Jihadi, who probably saved Osama in the raid
In fact, Osama is now comfortably ensconced in the Lincoln Bedroom and on Monday will be appointed the Chief Justice of the new Sharia law judicial system that Osama is creating to replace the current one.
Errr… I seem to remember a legal decision allowing the press to photograph the repatriation of soldiers remains.
That was during the Bush administration I’d thought.
Leaving aside this loon’s confusing two entirely different things – wasn’t this already their policy?
Oh man, maybe I have some sort of early onset… memory … thingy.
WoooooooHooooooo!!!
.
Comments section kicks ass.
The fact that over sixty percent of Americans have said they won’t vote for Trump under any circumstances should make this interesting. Poor wingnuts. I pity the fools upon their wakeup and realization that they are not, in fact, the sum and total of the electorate.
Well, I’m glad we’re finally putting to rest the malicious (probably socialist!) rumors that it was the generals and admirals who overruled Obama and took command.
Nothing says “aid and comfort” like “all your leader are belong to us, bitch!”
Official photo of OBL. Is this what he wants?

(obvious, I know, but I wasn’t first…soooo)
Jim Hoft is awesome. Maybe he’s a Borat-style prank caricature of a wingnutter. But I know he’s sincere, and that makes it all the better.
I love the fact that they all got pwned on the “Obama’s taking the flag down at Ground Zero” story.
Helping Jim Hoft
J-Load and K-Lo were always the Twin Towers of Inescapable Inanity for me.
Relentless.
Immutable.
Black hole level-stupidity, such that it could turn a savant into a gibbering glob of incoherence. Stupidity that made conifers appear sentient.
They were my bulwark. My rock.
Imagine, now, seeing their galactic ineptitude rendered to the sub-atomic by the overpowering idiocy of Jim Hoft.
I am cast into the open waves. My world deeply altered.
I am lost.
Gates of Dover?
I’ve heard of the pros from Dover but the gates?
The shrieking harpy plus the world’s dumbest human.
Free to a good home.

So, somebody could take a picture of the ocean, and then things would be fair again.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Jim Hoft couldn’t pass a Turing test with 6 months of Kaplan and a 50-point bonus.
Comment comedy fucking GOLD, baby!
Check it:
Shoulda capitalized Fox, Joanne.
My granny used to tell me that I’d forget my head if it wasn’t attached. Jim Hoft forgot his head.
Well, at least Hoft was right about making me sick.

Joanne commented:
Trump is smart like a fox – I can’t wait for him to put Obama and all his ignorant suck-ups in their place…….prison.”
This is baffling.
Now I feel compelled to write this: Officer Trumpki.
“My granny used to tell me that I’d forget my head if it wasn’t attached. Jim Hoft forgot his head.”
HOFT WITH HIS HEAD!
Yes, I’m going to fill up this thread with bad puns.
And the p-shopping for this entry makes me giggle.
It’s not just stupidity. It’s st00pid plus a psychotic obsession with demonizing Obama. This morning on NPR they had a brief clip from teh preznit’s Saturday address and then mentioned the republican “response.” (I don’t recall that parity during the Bush years, but maybe its just me) So Scott Brown, who is no braniac but not a complete dummy either went on about the years of work by the CIA and military and yada yada that made the bin Laden assassination happen. All about demeaning, minimizing, demonizing.
Honoring our dead soldiers is un-American and just aids the enemy. Much better to simply ignore their sacrifice.

Plus it feels better if we continue on thinking they’ll respawn when the area becomes safe again.
Plus, how ya gonna recruit more d00dz after they get a look at their possible ride home?
Of course, NOM takes the stupid and the hate to epic levels.
I’m trolling that fucker–check me out!

At least it was just about the CIA and military – I woke up this morning to an uncle’s facebook status saying “it’s ironic that if Obama had done what he promised, we wouldn’t have caught Osama, thank Bush!” Apparently, what he promised was something other than “if we get intel on Osama that he’s in Pakistan, we’ll go in and get him.”
I’m loving this meme where not only were all of Bush’s fuckups because Bush was a liberal, but now all of Obama’s triumphs are because Obama’s acting conservative. It begs the question, if you’re us and we’re you, then aren’t you voting for us?

Tee hee. I’m enjoying the sanity invasion over Hoft’s cesspool. *grabs popcorn*

And there is the central issue. Back in the 60s we was all patriotic and gungho until we started seeing the reality of war every night on the TV. Reality is the militarist’s worst enemy.
tsam: tell Hoft that at least there was a body to debate over.
Not sure if this was linked here before.

Poor Hoft. Most complete morons can pass for normal as long as they don’t open their mouths. But Hoft? He’s got dumbass written all over him…take away the big teeth and the dork glasses and the bowl haircut, and he’d STILL look like the world’s dumbest motherfucker.
I’m enjoying the sanity invasion over Hoft’s cesspool.
I like the guy who can’t spell “why” claiming Obama did poorly in school.
he’d STILL look like the world’s dumbest motherfucker.
Or the world’s dumbest big toe
it must be so freeing to write about current events without any consideration toward accuracy. like mad libs, or something.
Oh crap, that was Surber wasn’t it? Damn me if all these vacant-eyed lump-heads don’t all run together.
Also: ALL.
You left out one of the best parts of the last comment you quoted, where he accuses Obama of forcing immigration agents to rent rooms from him.
“Someone at New York Mag. did a peice where Obama runs guns to mexican Drug cartels to use against the boarder agents he forces to disarm. THis is a madman in office, a lunatic Jihadi, who probably saved Osama in the raid.”
I’m tempted to say that the entire comment has to be a spoof because it’s just too stupid even for a teabilly, but actually I think it’s just stupid enough..
I can’t be bothered to watch all the NOM video, but I dig that guy’s crazy hair!

Why would he save Osama when the plan all along was re-animation?
How was that a smackdown? It’s easy to smack down an argument when you put words in the mouths of your opponents. Unbelievably moronic.
Guess the Hoftimaniacs don’t wanna argue.
My post above was about that moronic NOM video.
You all did seem to have to have shut them up. Well done! Although I’m not gonna lie–I was kinda hoping for some sputtering attempts to come back at you guys.
Morons make me giggle.
I wish y’all were doing one of those worst videos battles
taotal? is this an un-Christian eastern satanic ritual? and what does wt mean?
frankly, if we’re not going to last long as a country, perhaps it’s not because we’re too nice of a people…
omg, I’ve been Googling “worst videos” and I feel like I’m getting sucked into some vortex. Some awful, dark vortex, where there is no escape. I keep telling myself to stop…BUT I JUST CAN’T.
“I think the burden of proof is on the people trying to radically alter society’s most ancient and important custom,” says the majorly hair-gelled man in the pink shirt with nipple buttons as he dramatically puts one hand on his hip.
What, NOM couldn’t afford to hire Snagglepuss?
I kept wondering what was up with his hair and nipple shirt, too.

Yeah, I know. But I’m sure the NOM people think they really did totally pwn us.

Boy, those bin laden tapes sure are compelling tv. Apparently pakistan has 13 channels of shit on the tv to choose from as well. I imagine, based on the fact that he’s sitting on the floor wrapped in a blanket, that he is looking for cartoons.
I hear Abraham Lincoln allowed dead Union soldiers to be photographed on the battlefield. This invalidates the entire Civil War.
Gripping analysis too. Some asshole was lamenting the fact that those incompetent boobs gave away the fact that we now know where the safe houses are.
Lincoln also allowed those creepy reenactments. I do not like it.
Greenwald noticed a few years ago that wingnuts dont understand what is and is not hypocrisy. It has really stuck with me, as most of their most hilarious flops stem from trying to find double standards where none exist.
Hee Hee. Leeks.
The photographs from agincourt were very disturbing.
BREAKING!! EXCLUSIVE!!!
OBL snuff photo now posted at my joint, here.
*sigh*
Ha! Love the X’s on the eyes. There are, I would bet, 2 or more hoftimaniacs who would think that’s the genuine article.
Osama is now comfortably ensconced in the Lincoln Bedroom and on Monday will be appointed the Chief Justice of the new Sharia law judicial system that Osama is creating to replace the current one.
Chief Justice? Czar, you mean.
Today, I was walking by a television set that was tuned to Fox News when I overheard this: “Remember, this is the same White House that wants to Mirandize enemy combatants on the battlefield!”
Whoever writes this stuff is underpaid; it’s comedy gold!
I don’t know why, but lately, looking at photos of the Arabian Sea excites my loins.

…the Bayeau Tapestry.
Harold II was killed in the battle—legend has it that he was shot through the eye with an arrow. Although there was further English resistance, this battle is seen as the point at which William gained control of England, becoming its first Norman ruler as King William I.
Does this mean Obama is now King of Afghanistan, or Pakistan, or a shadowy global terrorist alliance?

Ah, Angelfire. I see.

I agree. That NOM vid is pretty lame.
Lannie davis on fox news just claimed the diecision to give bin laden a full muslim ritual burial at sea was made by the military. He is being disingenuous, generals and admiral take orders from the commader in chief, the president. They can not publicly contradict him.
So, they have to take orders from the commander in chief when they give OBL an Islamic burial, but they are acting on their own initiative when they kill OBL… got it…
Credit for George W. Bush!

I like how that video just glosses over visitation rights. Does NOM really believe it means gay people can’t go to the hospital?
And the definition of marriage has already changed. Traditional marriage died when brides stopped saying “obey” in their vows (Even the new Duchess of Cambridge didn’t say she’d obey her husband and he could be King one day). Marriage is legally an equal partnership, so there’s no reason why one partner has to be male and the other female.
I like how that video just glosses over visitation rights.
That video glosses over a lot of things.
My favorite thing about it is that it characterizes support of marriage equality as an “emotional” point of view, glossing over the fact that support of “traditional marriage” is also and emotional point of view… it just relies on uglier emotions.

(Manipulating the nym….)
ZOMG! I just realized something VERY IMPORTANT!1ONE!
Vettel took the pole* today. That makes four in a row. Five if you include the final race of last season. It is likely that he will take, at the least, a podium finish tomorrow. Now, the next race is in two weeks, which means qualifying will take place on May 21***. If he takes another pole** that will be his sixth pole in a row (do I even need to say it?). That almost certainly means 6 podiums (podia ?) in a row. Six and six….
And for whom does Vettel race? Red Bull Racing!!!11! If there is a red bull, a red heifer is SURE to follow!
I’ll find a third six there somewhere, it’s easy to do.
WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Americans = identical rectangles.
Footbullet Matrix Reloaded: with its culture increasingly predicated on ADHD, America might well have already forgotten all about the OBL hit, were it not for the wingnuts’ desperate need to continue baaaaaaawing over Obama succeeding where Commandante Codpiece lost interest. Their sour grapes are so breathtakingly bitter & failgasmic that they’re keeping the subject alive – while reminding their fellow Yankees again & again just how monomaniacally fixated they are on knocking Obama, no matter what.
Wingnut optimism: when life hands you lemons, cut them open, grind them into your eyes & blame liberals for your excruciating pain.

Be fair tsam, you did get all facty and shit. You know how that upsets them.
Im just mad that they gave up so easily. I know I didn’t do anything, really, and im not the only sadly who gave them the business. Usually there’s somebody that take us the fight for his fellow dim bulbs. That’s when the shit get funny. No joy this time.

I’m out here guys!
I’ve been spending a lot of time with maps and Google Earth. Not looking abroad this time; I’m focused on the United States.
I’m uprooting my life next year: Gonna sell my rowhouse in 2012 and move from Baltimore to Albuquerque.
Logistical Planning
I’ve decided (roughly) what possessions I’m going to take. I will give away five large furniture pieces. I’ve got a concept on how to ship my possessions (such as they are); I, however, will take the key parts of my life with me personally….and drive the Leprechaun Van to New Mexico.
I have some visits with family and relatives to make along the way. I’m also going to visit a few important locations from my life. Prior homes. Graves. Parks. Little league diamonds. Old paper routes I had in grade school. Fenwickian sorts of things.
The whole operation–possessions loadout, transport, and driving–is a logistical planning exercise. I have always enjoyed transportation, movement, and route-selection planning. 35 years ago I had a complete blast planning a six-month solo journey in Western Europe.
I’ve broken the Baltimore-Albuquerque journey into seven road segments; and annotated the specific route in detail. Route numbers, exit numbers, marker-distance intervals.
[I used to calculate Soviet march-route serials. Length of the vehicles. Vehicle intervals. Serial intervals. Speed estimates were seldom a problem: The Soviets always drove IAW their transportation doctrine. The Red Army was dogmatic and top-down.]

This week I’m going to begin–through the VA system–the investigation of the kidney cyst.

Anyway, folks, I’m out here enjoying your roller-coaster ride: I read Sadly No! and laugh my fool head off. And I cogitate about the Sadlies’ deeper observations about the world in which we live.
As always, have fun.
