We already did the “fag” thing. Buchanan was almost certainly gay and, while generally incompetent (unrelated to his sexuality), the republic seems to have survived intact.

Say all you want about Lloyd Marcus’ argument about libruls forcing us to have an oppressed President, but by God, don’t you diminish the significance of his one-man “I Love America Revue” on July the 2nd.

I hereby proclaim the season of Presidential Affirmative Action over!

Well, hey, Lloyd, why don’t we just proclaim the season of all affirmative action over, and then the folks at Renooo Murka can go back to calling you a shiftless n***er. Which of course you will be, since you’ll be unemployed once they no longer need an Uncle Tom to talk trash about the darkie in the White House.

Is not the saying, “once you go black, you never go back”?

Presidential Affirmative Action my ass, folks voted for Obama over McCain because they thought Obama seemed intelligent, capable and statesmanlike(which looked to be a welcome change after the past resident of the Oval Office) while McCain seemed a warmongering, crotchety old coot who couldn’t control his mouth or temper and whose best days were so far behind him they were barely discernible over the 3 Kelvin Big Bang residue.

I’m afraid the republicans set this ball in motion when they elected the first developmentally-disabled president.

Presidential Affirmative Action my ass

I have to disagree. There is clearly a Presidential affirmative action program, but it only covers rich white guys. That is the only way to explain how G. W. Bush Got there.

“Race-profiteers love to opine about America’s racist roots and the eternal debt owed to blacks. They completely ignore the fact that decent, God-fearing Americans corrected those evils.”

Er, um… when exactly was that now?

… folks voted for Obama over McCain because they thought Obama seemed intelligent, capable and statesmanlike…

don’t forget articulate!

How long will it be before the liberal media demands that we elect our first openly gay/lesbian president to prove that we are not homophobic?

One would think with such a powerful institution working full speed ahead for the gay agenda…ah fuck it.

I Do find “…before the liberal media demands…” hilarious.

A liberal media…I have seen it in my dreams.

O/T – but some friends of mine are road tripping to Portland next week to see West Bromwich Albion play the Portland Timbers in a club friendly. They are from the Midlands (one of them lives here in Houston). At any rate, looking for suggestions for things to do in Portland before the game (sights, brewpubs, bars etc.). Pretty sure we are in a hotel downtown somewhere. We’ll be in Seattle the night before the game so if anyone has some suggestions for fun stuff at night in that city, that would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

it is really hard to pick through all the stupid in lloyd’s latest rant…

Er, um… when exactly was that now?

Sometime betwixt 1965 and 1969, when Nixon’s plan to end the war comingled with “urban rioting” to suffocate Johnsons “Great Society” with a pillow in the crib.

hey gordon you’re in the right place but you’ll have to wait for poopenius or obs to come back to life and then you’ll have to be super nice to them

Call me crazy, but if it “ain’t” right for whites to vote for the white guy because he is white

call me crazy, but historically, hasn’t this been our only option?

I fucking HATE editorials that use exclamation points. The fact that it’s almost exclusively wingnuts who do it makes it easier to avoid them. One time, God knows why, I got off the boat for some Pat Boone mangos and the pruney old fuck uses the things so egregiously they might as well be talented black musicians.

you know what i just realized? that over the past few days, the copy pasta trolls have used jeannie deangelis and lloyd for their copy pasta trolling…i thought they usually just used gibberish…oh, wait! i see what they did there…

oh, kid…i am so glad you are back!!!!!!!! you always make me laff!!!!!!!!

Either during the war of northern passive-aggression or during LBJ’s unwarranted attack on poor outnumbered poll workers and sheriffs.

Great description of Republicans from Steve Benen.

Lloyd Marcus is the songwriter and vocalist of the “American Tea Party Anthem.” He currently serves as president of NAACPC (National Association for the Advancement of Conservative People of Color).

I’m glad he can speak for all African Americans when he says:

So, America, despite what the liberal media and race-profiteers say, your debt to black Americans is paid in full. You elected the first affirmative action president. Rah-rah, congratulations! Now, can we please, this time around, elect the best candidate for our country?

My fellow Americans, in regard to the U.S. presidency, please tell me we are over “the black thing.”

Judging by how assiduously the media tiptoes around it whenever they’re not using it to puff themselves up, I don’t think I can tell you that.

Can we move past race and gender and simply elect the best American for the job?

Can you move past automatically demonizing Obama’s every word & deed & simply point to someone better suited for the presidency who wants it?

Due to liberal media manipulation and guilt, America elected an incompetent black guy as leader of the free world to prove that we are not racist.

Heh? America actually giving a flying indigo monkey-fuck what the rest of the world thinks of it?

The left celebrates liberal blacks and women while engaging in the high-tech lynching of conservative blacks and women. It is quite simple, folks. If you are a minority confident enough to be a self-starter and you love your country, you are on the left’s excrement list. Leftists embrace only victims. Why? Because it fits their desire to believe that America sucks and is the greatest source of evil in the world.

This leftoid website has recently bitchslapped a “liberal” blogger around here, did so many times before & will very likely fart in that particular tabarnacle again in the future. Many other leftoid websites also do so. Being busted for one’s barbaric faux-Situationist/Objectivist groupthink horseshit is decidedly not lynching, high-tech or otherwise. Also, crying wolf with a hot-button accusation of “lynching” to cover for said horseshit, & then accusing the Evil LeftWing DethKult HaetKommandoez®©™ of having a victim complex in the next breath? You can’t pass a belly-flop off as a pas-de-deux, Lloyd.

Phew … no way would I fisk this entire snail-trail of gouty petulant sinus-glue, even if you paid me (a lot). ECCCCCCCHHHHHHHH ……….. .

Oh whut de fuque, one more:

The year 2012 is not just another presidential election. It is the most important presidential election in the history of our country. Obama is destroying America, plain and simple. Four more years under the lawless reign of this divisive, evil man will land a serious deathblow to the heart of America as we know it.

We need a hero, folks.

Obama is like a kid with his finger in a collapsing dyke. He’s got some of the picture & nice intentions, but not nearly enough common sense to get his finger back while it’s still attached & run like hell. If only Lloyd could show one lousy single actual thing IRL that is a pile of smoking rubble because of the malevolence of some Ivy League nerd & his sinister aura of caring & charm.

Sometimes a hero saves the day, sometimes a hero gets everyone around them killed. So it goes, eh?

If you asked me to choose between a hero & a raise, that decision would not strike me as a thorny dilemma.

Andon, please fuck off

So, America, despite what the liberal media and race-profiteers say, your debt to black Americans is paid in full. You elected the first affirmative action president. Rah-rah, congratulations! Now, can we please, this time around, elect the best candidate for our country?

I usually dislike the term “self-hating” for a conservative member of a group the conservatives routinely POOP on, but holy fuck. Obama WAS the best candidate, McCain, and dear God, Palin, were the brain dying and the brain dead, and were less qualified for the office than my goddamn tits(motto: “if you’re going to vote for boobs anyway…”) Plus EVERY FUCKING lie this asshole tells about Obama was the truth about Bush, who fucked this country up so badly we will not be the same for a LONG time if ever, and it really pisses me off no end for him to pretend it’s the fault of some mythical “idiot only elected because he’s black by liberal race victims” and that to “prove” we’re post-racist we MUST vote for whatever rich white moron the Republicans run because OF COURSE he can fix the problems blackety black Obama caused, DUH he’s a rich white Republican! So like I said, I dislike the term, but if you’re going to kiss some white guy’s ass and assume he’s more competent just because he’s white (and assume the worst about and blame the black guy for a white guy’s mess just because he’s black) well, I think there’s no escaping it.

This. Imagine a black version of George Bush trying to get into the Oval Office and how long that guy would last.

For that matter, imagine if Sarah Palin were black.

Oh, and when was the last time a white presidential candidate was obligated to run on a “post-racial” platform to reassure everybody that he wouldn’t be a nationalist for “his people” – despite the fact that historically, there’s far more cause for concern from them than from any other demographic?

Gordon,

For funski and brewski in Seattle, I got no clue. For foodski:

Serious Pie (in Seattle, downtown) – small place; very, very good pizza. The sausage pizza is their #1 seller. I had the special with pork belly bacon. Yum.

Duke’s (in Tacoma, the Pt. Defiance area) – seafood. My stepson raved about the salmon. I had the chowder sampler and I liked it.

Nothing in Portland regarding food or drink. If you have time, go to the Johnston Ridge Observatory, about 5 miles from Mt. St. Helens. You look right into the crater. It’s really something to see. On the south side of Mt. St. Helens is Ape Cave. It’s a 3/4 mile lava tube. That was fun.

It looks to be about 70-90 miles from Portland to the above areas, so you may not have the time.

Enjoy yourself.

Four more years under the lawless reign of this divisive, evil man will land a serious deathblow to the heart of America as we know it.

And serious deathblows are much worse than humorous deathblows.

Obama got 96% of the black vote with surveys proving that many blacks were clueless about Obama’s intentions and even his running mate.
Which proves that they were racist. Whilst white folks who did the same for Gandpa McSame and the Hot Schoolmarm were…
Really dumb shit, Marcus. Talking points, you’re doing them rong

Four more years under the lawless reign of this divisive, evil man will land a serious deathblow to the heart of America as we know it.

I do not understand. Bush left office 2 years ago.

Four more years under the lawless reign of this divisive, evil man will land a serious deathblow to the heart of America as we know it.

If I had a nickel for every time America’s been death-blowed in their book, I’d never have to work again. Remember when Medicare was supposed to abolish freedom? Remember when the Civil Rights Act was supposed to enslave white people? Remember when Eisenhower was supposed to be working for the Soviets?

serious deathblow to the heart of America as we know it

Heart Punch
The wrestler raises the opponent’s left arm up over their head, sometimes folding it back behind their neck as well, then delivers a strong punch into the side of the ribcage. The move is alleged to rely on “Oriental pressure points” to strike a nerve causing the opponent’s heart to momentarily stop, rendering them unconscious.

The fact is, poopoo ans shit, and blacks are lazy

Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique much?

Serious Deathblow was original, but the best CGI action sequences were in Serious Deathblow VI: The Seriousening.

Remember when Eisenhower was supposed to be working for the Soviets?

Or when JFK was going to give the country over to the Vatican. Or when they had to introduce Presidential term limits because otherwise the country was going to re-elect FDR even after he died.

@Chris – I think you mean the Buddhist Palm technique

this link is not the buddhist palm, but rocks nonetheless

It’s a crying shame that the white man just can’t get a fair shake from the voters anymore, as a glance at the floor of the US Senate makes so very clear.

Really, doesn’t it make you weep that the Dream of Dr. King has been degraded so far that a brilliant and charismatic black man can get elected president when running against a bomb-crazy senior citizen and a brainless twit nominated by a party that started a pointless war of aggression and tanked the economy? When, when will Americans get back to choosing the Republican based on the content of his character, like it says in the 2nd Ammendment?

Music sales. There are certainly some artists that have no knowledge of the appropriation of sales profits that aren’t there share, however, there has been substantial funds routed towards the funding of illegal activities. Then there is discount stores, which most of us are already aware have black market goods. These products are often unecessary, fund illegal activity and/or utlilize slave labor. There are products in the grocery stores that fund said activities, by way of stolen goods from transport vehicles. One example is salon hair products, at wholesale prices. We, The Pacific Army would ask that all persons use good judgement when purchasing, and to keep in mind the severity of the situation facing us all.

From a link in the comments there…Imagine if the Tea Party was black.

That’s not surprising, considering that he’s actually an enormous coagulated blob of blue-green algae.

Imagine if Sarah Palin were a lefty – by now FOX would’ve produced an entire channel dedicated to just how scary & insane she is.

Also: Imma Lett you Finnish but I just have to say that Alvin Purple’s Serious Deathblow was the worst 70s softcore porn prequel of all time. OF ALL TIME.

For UK visitors to Porty I can recommend “The Horsebrass” pub. Footy friendly, well cared for and served ales, including cask conditioned real ales and UK reminiscent pub food to boot (Scotch egg anyone?).

I actually find the swing in “race relations” somewhat amazing. PatriciaDad graduated from an all-white (segregated – Brown be damned) Mississippi podunk high school in 1967, his son (my half-brother) graduated from the same high school (the mascot changed from the Colonel Rebs to the Bulldogs, but still segregated). PatriciaMom (coming from a family where her mother (PatricaGrandMother) asked of a black man coming to fix a leaky faucet in her house said, “What’s that n***ger doing in my house?”) proudly displays her certificate as a member of “Obama’s Kitchen Cabinet.” Hey, yeah, there were bumps along the road (I dated the nicest guy EVAR, but he happened to be black and PatriciaMom threw a fit, “We don’t do that.”) But at the end of the day I’m married to a wonderful man (who happens to be Hispanic and, who, PatriciaMom likes more than she likes Patricia – he gets special presents at Christmas and shit) and we have wonderful children whom my parents adore. Evolution is the shit, right? (Patricia + 8?)

A hopeful story, epistemologically complex Patricia. People can change.

Also: Imma Lett you Finnish but I just have to say that Alvin Purple’s Serious Deathblow was the worst 70s softcore porn prequel of all time. OF ALL TIME.

The Dawkins thing really pisses me off. I expected this kind of crap from Christopher Hitchens, but I thought Dawkins was one of the good guys.

I was just reading some incredibly depressing comments on some dickwad’s blog re: Watson/Dawkins, looked at a magic horse to cheer myself up, and have no appetite for more comments from privileged men just DO NOT FUCKING GET IT. I think I am officially done lurking at the car wreck.

I read ~3000 comments at PZ’s and all I got from it was that there are a lot of men who are an embarrassment to our gender and damned proud of that fact.

Yeah, I had to stop reading at some point because I was getting that must-softly-beat-my-head-against-the-wall-til-i-go-numb feeling.

I read stuff like that and I get depressed. I’m like, “Am I really sharing a world with that many clueless men?” And, it’s weird…cuz I’m around men a lot. I rather like men. And 98% of the time, I seem to get along with them JUST FINE. Where are these cretins?

If I want misogyny I’ll just go to man boobz (although sometimes even that place depresses me). At least those MRA guys have an excuse– they’re incredibly fucking stupid.

I rather like men.

I am shocked, SHOCKED! to hear that’s going on around here.

I know. In my duties as a strawfeminist, aren’t I supposed to HATE men?

Oh dear.

I know. In my duties as a strawfeminist, aren’t I supposed to HATE men?

Just baby hormones. It will wear off in a couple of months and you’ll be back to burning your shaver and hating on men.

And 98% of the time, I seem to get along with them JUST FINE. Where are these cretins?

You’re witnessing the same phenomenon that applies to race, homosexuality, anything different from being a white male. White males, by and large, still feel a little streak of superiority, whether they try to or not. So while they may do a good job of hiding that in public, they often feel a little conflicted. Add an anonymous forum full of like minded needle-dicked apes, and you can literally watch 50 years of evolution turn back before your eyes.

Yep, you’re right. The Intertubes is a wonderful and terrible place.

Add an anonymous forum full of like minded needle-dicked apes, and you can literally watch 50 years of evolution turn back before your eyes.

The Internets allow you to spew everything you want to without consequence; naturally it’s going to bring out the worst in a lot of people.

If I wanted to rape her, I would.

Cheerful thought.

If I wanted to rape her, I would.

If I wanted to beat you to death with a baseball bat, I would.

o/t but pretty funneh:

lues to the Quickie puzzle included: “Brook,” “stink,” “catastrophe,” and “digital protection.” Answers included “stench,” “racket,” and “tart.” The Cryptic Crossword had clues ranging from “criminal enterprise,” “mix in prison,” and “string of recordings.” If these still seems like mere coincidences, note the clue for 24 Across, which reads “Woman stares wildly at calamity.” The Telegraph speculated that it was a reference to the photo of Brooks staring from the window of a car as she left News International’s Wapping headquarters following the announcement the News of the World was to be shut down. The answer to that clue? “Disaster.”

i heart words…

If I wanted to beat you to death with a baseball bat, I would.

you do want to, right? cuz i do!

I love guys who say, “I had opportunities to rape, but I didn’t. What a great guy I am!”.

I’ve had plenty of “opportunities” to stab people in the eye with my keys, but I don’t feel like I should get a frickin’ medal for refraining from doing so.

and while i’m at it, fuck arnold alkon! really?! being propositioned in an elevator at 4 in the morning is ALOT more fucking unnerving than knowing that some dude is checking out your ass when you walk by…NOT THE SAME ARNOLD…

“If I wanted to beat you to death with a baseball bat, I would.”

Apparently, he has less impulse control than Mini__B, less sense than a pile of dog shit on the sidewalk, and less charm than the Repub presidential candidates negatively combined.

o/t again…probably NOT our biggest concern right now

AND LADIES: HE’S SINGLE!

i know, shocking right?

They all seem to be… Coincidence?

They all seem to be… Coincidence?

nah…i think it’s because of all of us uptight bitches who scream everytime they look at us…

and totes NOT because they are cretins…

There is NO WAY a catch like this is still on the market.

You don’t want all catches.

In the elevator, which has an alarm button and may stop for more passengers? Or would you, say, try to get someone someplace more private, with no possibility of security cameras, etc? Seriously, do people have no sense? It’s NOT crazy to be apprehensive of a complete stranger trying to get you to a private location.

If I wanted to rape her, I would.

Translation:

If I thought I could get away raping her, I would.

i think it’s because of all of us uptight bitches who scream everytime they look at us…

I always assumed that women screamed when I got near because of my good looks and celebrity.

Shorter Nancy French:

Women with jobs who feed their babies with formula are materialistic whores trying to turn men into women.

trying to turn men into women.

Oooh la la.

I’ve had plenty of “opportunities” to stab people in the eye with my keys, but I don’t feel like I should get a frickin’ medal for refraining from doing so.

I do, on occasion, feel that me not stabbing someone in the face is medal-worthy. Not the fleeting thoughts of doing it, but the ones where I’m clearly in the presence of someone awful and doesn’t understand just how awful they are.

“Women with jobs who feed their babies with formula are materialistic whores trying to turn men into women.”

Fuck you, bitch. Because we women who can’t breastfeed for one reason or another didn’t freak out and cry and gnash our teeth about it enough. Thanks for adding more judgement and pressure. ASSHOLE.

“Look, I’m 2’2, I’m nearly spherical and I’m surprisingly strong. If I’m in an elevator with a woman asking for her boob, I’m not trying to suckle. If I wanted to suckle, I would.”

There are poptarts in the toyota commercial?

N_B,no kidding about that surprisingly strong part.

I read ~3000 comments at PZ’s and all I got from it was that there are a lot of men who are an embarrassment to our gender and damned proud of that fact.

That’s why I’ve only ever read one comment thread at PZ’s. The smarter-than-thou scientist / atheist crowd reads pretty much just like libertarians with slightly different dogma.

Xecky –

To be fair, the real assholes were almost all not PZ regulars.

“That’s why I’ve only ever read one comment thread at PZ’s. The smarter-than-thou scientist / atheist crowd reads pretty much just like libertarians with slightly different dogma”

Hmmmm. I don’t feel that way AT ALL. when the mra’ers aren’t out in force the comments there are great.

Thanks for adding more judgement and pressure. ASSHOLE.

Completely.

Mrs Slacker too had difficulty boob-feeding our dude and dudette, and before too long she and I both said, screw it, let’s get some formula and give the kid what he or she needs.

I really detest assholes out there who insist that breast-feeding is teh bestest fing evah, because it really really is not for some moms and the kid suffers if you delude these moms into believing the myth. Friend of friend recently had to have their 3-week old kid taken into neonatal care and put on a drip because the mom had been taken in by the mammary-fascists…

Speaking of assholes – Ruprecht Murdoch. Do not read if you are not ready to have your blood boil. His people had better hope that their victims decide not to stoop to their level.

I will stab anyone who tries to get me out of the boat.

mammary-fascists…

“He loved Big Brother Mama“

mammary-fascists

I, for one, welcome etc.

I’ll cut a bitch.

Speaking of assholes – Ruprecht Murdoch.

Was that a Hellboy reference or were you just Germanizing the man’s name for general villainous effect? Just wondering.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels reference I think.
Breast feeding: DO NOT break the Mommy laws.Everyone else knows what is right for you.

Second, men and women are different.

goddamn! nancy french has proven to be just as smart as lloyd marcus!

After all, why don’t men take off work to stay home, instead of their over-worked, stressed-out wives? Well, it feels silly to point this out to a panel of experts, but men and women are different. We have complementary skills and abilities. Women, for example, are the ones with stretch marks and breasts that nourish. Men cannot gestate a baby, no matter how manicured, effeminized, and metrosexual society tries to make them.

in other words, you brought ’em, now dance with ’em?

I’m afraid the republicans set this ball in motion when they elected the first developmentally-disabled president. – vacuumslayer

I dunno. There is a difference between developmentally disabled on the one hand and GW Bush on the other.

GWB is one of the people most likely to get beaten up by a gang of developmentally disabled toughs wearing t-shirts saying “I’m a retard, what’s your excuse?” and “I may be retarted, but you’re just dumb” at a Huey Lewis and the News concert.

Fuck you, bitch. Because we women who can’t breastfeed for one reason or another didn’t freak out and cry and gnash our teeth about it enough. Thanks for adding more judgement and pressure. ASSHOLE.

huzzah!!! i couldn’t breast feed my first cuz she was a preemie and in a hospital 3.5 hours away…as for the second child, i got turned off by the helpful guidebook which told me to ‘rough up your nipples with a washcloth’ to make them tuff enuff for the real deal…they also recommended ‘enlarging the circle of friends and family who watch you breastfeed gradually.’ ummmm…no thanks?

as the mother of a dd child, i found this most amusing…i totally want to buy the daughter those shirts….

Another reason Democrats are LOSERS.

Ok, yeah. Republicans don’t give us a daily laundry list of reasons why we could destroy them–let’s focus on the fringe weirdos nobody cares about. FML.

ha ha…this is why mn’sotans make iowan jokes

Women, for example, are the ones with stretch marks and breasts that nourish. Men cannot gestate a baby

Don’t know what stretch marks have to do with anything, but men do have milk ducts and can lactate.

I too read all the comments on at least three of those threads. It was depressing.

I can’t believe how many men are butthurt that women have to be wary of rapists. It’s like drummed into college girls, don’t walk alone, follow a route that includes call boxes, wear your rape whistle, don’t take open drinks, etc, etc.

To hear reality just made these dudez flip their shit. You mean when you met me the first time in a dark bar you were counting the exits and watching my hands near your drink? I can’t believe all men are guilty until proven innocent! Your life must be so scary and alone! Lighten up!

Surprise dumbshits: Rape culture. Look it up.

Even now, even on new threads there’s dudez showing up to say “lol, that elevator guy didn’t do anything, why are you still talking about it?”

But more on topic, these are probably the same guys that think affirmative action isn’t necessary any more. White privilege is already gone and discrimination has been solved.

After all, why don’t men take off work to stay home, instead of their over-worked, stressed-out wives?

Hey, for those of you still looking for a socialest utopia to relocate to – Ontario ain’t teh best for this, but it’s not bad. Pregnancy leave is 17 weeks and only applies to birth mothers – but parental leave is an additional 35 weeks and can be taken by either parent. As of half a decade ago, one in five dads was taking some parental leave. If you also count in those dads that take time off without collecting parental leave benefits – it’s 55%.

I couldn’t breast feed because I don’t have breasts. My wife opted not to because it didn’t work out when she tried with her first kid. I was in full support, mostly because–well, mostly because that was her choice, but second-mostly because–I thought formula was still the default. Apparently breast feeding is all the rage again, though. And not just among stupid NRO assholes like Ms. French, but among hippie liberal chicks too. She actually feels more ashamed around them than anyone else, not that anyone has been rude enough to give her shit.

People who comment here frequently think I’m an ass — and sometimes they’re right.

Arf?

Speaking of assholes – Ruprecht Murdoch.

And then some.

That might bring it on home for teh red blooded murkins.

Breast feeding is very much in vogue. And I have no doubt it’s for good reason. But when I think of what I went thru trying to make it work when it just wouldn’t…the tears, the anxiety…it severely dampened those first couple weeks with my son.

My stepmother is a hippy/midwife… And I was sick thinking about telling her about formula feeding. I put so much pressure on myself. I pretty much had to be talked off the ledge at some point during those first days.

Honestly, I’m still torn up about it. I feel like everyone will think I’m a bad mother. Ugh.

I don’t feel that way AT ALL. when the mra’ers aren’t out in force the comments there are great.

Maybe I caught the wrong thread, then.

Arf.

Seriously, do people have no sense?

You need an answer for that?

The term was first widely used during World War II and the resulting refugee outflows from Eastern Europe,[1] when it was used to specifically refer to one removed from his or her native country as a refugee, prisoner or a slave laborer. The meaning has significantly broadened in the past half-century. A displaced person may also be referred to as a forced migrant. The term “refugee” is also commonly used as a synonym for displaced person, causing confusion between the general descriptive class of anyone who has left their home and the subgroup of legally defined refugees who enjoy specified international legal protection. Most of the victims of war, political refugees and DPs of the immediate post-Second World War period were Ukrainians, Poles and other Slavs who refused to return to Soviet-dominated eastern Europe. There is also internally displaced people, as in, they haven’t left their original country. One such example would be First Nations people coralled in reserves, and those sent to residential schools. Another example is those who have been removed by governmental bodies from their homes.
Lotta displaced people around.

Honestly, I’m still torn up about it. I feel like everyone will think I’m a bad mother. Ugh

i know, i know…it’s been 21 years since i birthed my last child and i still feel guilty for not breast feeding…but don’t beat yourself up over it…i’m guessing you cannot put your feet behind your head, right? just something your body won’t let you do…same as not being physically able to breastfeed…

don’t spend ANYmore time focussing on what you can’t do and not in your control and focus istead on all the awesome stuff you can and do do for dudeskull…enjoy every single second of him…even the poopie times, cuz it’s going to go too fast…

also, too…yes, i said ‘do do’

I feel like everyone will think I’m a bad mother. Ugh.

That’s bullshit. Don’t ever think that (actually, barely a day goes by when as a parent you don’t feel guilty about something, so you will, but I’m just going to say don’t because you shouldn’t…)

This is precisely why I loathe the breast-feeding fanatics. Here’s the thing, we should all accept that b-f is healthy for mom and kid, and it’s more convenient too. So there’s no problem encouraging moms to b-f, helping them, teaching them, etc etc, but unless it is framed for its practical benefits its just a stinking bunch of junk science.

Anyone given the impression b-f is the only healthy option – it isn’t. Far more unhealthy is forcing moms who are having real difficulty into doing it. I’ll try and repeat what Mrs Slacker has said to other moms who have gone through what you are dealing with – “Fuck them and their fucking self-righteous, guilt-trip dressed up as parental-advice cockamamie.” There’s nothing wrong with formula at all, and get this – if you do switch to formula, you get the metrosexual dads more involved in lil kidz stuff which gives the reactionaries a giant dose of sad.

I’m probably just a stupidly protective metrosexual guy, but really don’t take this shit about b-f lying down, Mrs Slacker hasn’t and our kids are doing fine.

VS, please don’t fret. My mother tried to breast feed me and I apparently would have nothing to do with it AT ALL. Latched onto a bottle something fierce, however. My guess is that it’s the baby who makes the choice…

vs,

Teh only thing you should feel bad about is feeling bad. Teh new mantra is healthy moms have healthy babies. And that’s not just for the pregnancy period – you have to be as sane and stable as you can be in order to provide teh support that little Dudeskull needs on his way to GLOBAL DOMINATION. You are the one responsible for developing his evil cackle and iron grip of doom. And maybe laser-eyes, because that would be pretty cool.

Ted the Slacker said,

July 11, 2011 at 19:07

EXACTLY

I’ll second Ted’s comment. Fanatics are fanatics, whatever the topic: they might be loud but there’s really very few of them and most people find them obnoxious. Ignore them and do what’s right for you.

Latched onto a bottle something fierce, however.

Me, too. It nearly bankrupted my parents, keeping me in whiskey.

Too bad you can’t tell such folks you don’t breastfeed because then the goofballs you’re hopped up on would get to the baby but they are humorless assholes who can’t shut the fuck up about other folks’ business.

also, nancy french was the *co-writer* of bristle palin’s *book* so that right there tells you the calibre of her mind…

Hey VS,

Like I mentioned a couple weeks back, my wife was freaking and crying when she wasn’t making enough milk and breastfeeding wasn’t working, but with time it just got better. We still split it up though with nursing and bottles.

She also pumps sometimes and we get the breast milk into him that way.

Well next up for your Dudeskull is training him to go to sleep so you can get some sleep.

Latched onto a bottle something fierce, however.

Me, too. It nearly bankrupted my parents, keeping me in whiskey.

Hmmm… That may explain why I’m so short…

Breast feeding is very much in vogue. And I have no doubt it’s for good reason. But when I think of what I went thru trying to make it work when it just wouldn’t…the tears, the anxiety…it severely dampened those first couple weeks with my son.

There is nothing wrong with bottle-feeding babies, and you have no business worrying about what other people think of it. Aside from the face that you are a liberal and he narrowly survived a gay socialist abortion, nobody thinks you’re a bad mother.

the face? Pardon my french.

The French? Pardon my face!

Srsly though – the best thing a mom can do for her baby is me. But second best, is to look out for herself (usually by doing me) because she is essentially that babby’s entire world for the first few weeks.

I guess it’s not a bug surprise that I rate highly for moms being able to do whom they want – uh, i mean what they want. But this time there’s actually a good argument for it (other than the fact that I am amazing in teh sack).

An upset mother is way harder on babby than not breastfeeding. What I mean is, yeah there are some pretty good arguments for breastfeeding – but none of them are good enough to justify making a mom feel bad. Not. A. Single. One.

I, for one, am grateful that a212 is not here to offer assistance with vs’ breastfeeding difficulties.

Anyways, back on teh OT of misogynist d00ds and their hang-ups with teh womens, this made me larf out loud.

Ah, thanks very much for th encouraging words and stories, everybody. They made me feel great–honestly.

One last thing: when I was researching mixing breast and formula feeding. I would see these lists comparing the benefits of both. The first list would always consist of tons and tons laudatory reasons to do it. The second would consist of one: “Formula feeding allows you to share the duty with other people”

Why didnt they just call it The Selfish Bitch reason?

Strangely OT: “assholes” at my joint.

LOL. That’s about to enter my vernacular.

“An upset mother is way harder on babby than not breastfeeding. ”

Thanks, DK-W. You bring the wisdom with the lulz.

I like sharing the duty.

Lol. I said doody.

That ends up being shared too

Rule of thumb: If you’re worried that you’re a terrible parent, you’re probably not a terrible parent.

If you’re worried that you’re a terrible parent, you’re probably not a terrible parent.

Unfortunately, that “probably” covers a lot of very upsetting ground.

Corrollary: If you’re worried about the word “probably”, you probably don’t have anything to worry about

Fortunately zrm is not here, ’cause “baby food” has a whole other meaning as far as he’s concerned.

Fortunately zrm is not here, ’cause “baby food” has a whole other meaning as far as he’s concerned.

As does “breast feeding”

If you’re worried about the word “probably”, you probably don’t have anything to worry about

Maybe this makes me a sociopath, but I’m not worried that I might be a terrible parent. As a friend of mine said to me, if you’re not planning on beating your child, you’re ahead of most parents in history. I’m worried that I’ll do something more subtly stupid…something that the MRAs would applaud.

If you’re worried about the word “probably”, you probably don’t have anything to worry about

You really should be worried about the baggage retrieval system they have at Heathrow.

For me, it always brings this to mind.

I’m more reminded of this

I can’t believe I JUST got Aunt Acid’s name. Damn. Still, it took me far less time than it took me to get Lawnguylander’s.

Rule of thumb: If you’re worried that you’re a terrible parent, you’re probably not a terrible parent.

so true…also, one thing i have discovered through the years is that parents will lie through their teeth to make themselves feel they and/or their children are brilliant/well-mannered/successful/normal or wev…it is often the parents who talk like they have it all together or that it seems have the ‘perfect’ family, that really often have the most fucked up kids and relationships…

my kids are grown and i know i wasn’t a-1 at parenting 100% of the time…there are many moments i wish i could take back, but i (and i really should include teh hubby, so we) didn’t completely fuck our kids up…of course teh daughter is a special case and is agreed by all who know her to be a joy…and number one son is going to school and working and has a fab girlfriend and is happy with life…and i am soooooo proud of him…

all you can do as a parent, aside from the not wanting to beat your kids thing, is do the best you can…as long as your providing shelter, food, clothing, love, support while providing wisdom and learning, you got it made…

I can’t believe I JUST got Aunt Acid’s name. Damn. Still, it took me far less time than it took me to get Lawnguylander’s.

heh…i just got it last week!

i still don’t get lawnguylander’s…all i can ever think of is zoolander…

I can’t believe I JUST got Aunt Acid’s name.

You’re one of those people who pronounces it “ont,” right? This is where a Queens accent comes in handy: it’s “ant”.

i still don’t get lawnguylander’s

Try saying it out loud…

You’re one of those people who pronounces it “ont,” right?

nope…i am ‘ant’…just either too literal or something…

is it like longislander?

Yup!

“You’re one of those people who pronounces it “ont,” right”

Nope, I’m just an idiot

well, i feel smarter than both lloyd marcus AND nancy french now!

i still don’t get it…

Keep tryin’!

That man’s got a Hugh Jackman!

you can do it!

Suddenly it’s the staff of Car Talk around here

Really, I find this sort of thing rather juvenile.

Just remember: if you can’t be an athlete, be a jockstrap.

Sometimes women don’t want to breastfeed. Sometimes they can’t. Self righteous assholes aren’t going to stop their squawking but we don’t have to listen. Being a man makes that much easier for me to say, sure, but what is being a man if not having it easy?

Lil g breastfed for a few weeks before his mom got sick of it and we switched to the bottle.

I’m worried that I’ll do something more subtly stupid

Don’t bet on it. I used to worry about that too. 17 years later, I haven’t really done anything that any MRA would be any more than indifferent to.

The trick is to not worry about what everyone else does and thinks. You know what’s right and what’s wrong. I made it 17 years without spanking any of my 3 kids. I couldn’t count the number of lectures I got about how spanking was required in order to save our children from becoming vampires.

You know what your core values are. Worry about that shit and let the other shit go. When they start to echo those values back at you, you’re going so happy you might cry.

ONOES, bad name puns.

What if Ella Fitzgerald had married Darth Vader?

@ A Dog walking on his hind legs.
Folloree?Folleroo?

Or if Anita Baker married Mannfred Mann?

When they start to echo those values back at you, you’re going so happy you might cry.

So…you’re saying I don’t have to worry about Mini__B becoming a Yankees fan?

Of course, the big question… Breastfeeding on elevators?

I was hoping for Carling Bassett marrying Ron Darling.

I love guys who say, “I had opportunities to rape, but I didn’t. What a great guy I am!”.

And *this* is what makes the reaction to Chris Rock’s “Niggers vs. Black People” so sad. It wasn’t about n-word privileges, it was about not being (in his words) a “low-expectations-having motherfucker”.

One of the saddest niggers I know is white– and, irritatingly, a relative of mine.

Breastfeeding on an elevator,
Suckling up while milk lets down.
Breastfeeding on an elevator,
Breastfeeding until mah belly’s round(er).

What if KENNY LOGGINS IS IMMORTAL?!!

When they start to echo those values back at you, you’re going so happy you might cry.
I am happy with seeing a sense of humour in our daughter

I was unaware that anyone outside of Southern Ontario knew who Carling Basset is. True fact* – she’s named after the beer.

*Well sorta true anyways.

So…you’re saying I don’t have to worry about Mini__B becoming a Yankees fan?

Good lord! Speak not of such atrocities!

So…you’re saying I don’t have to worry about Mini__B becoming a Yankees fan?

Also Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, LA Lakers and Texas Rangers. These are all teams to avoid if you wish to be spared in my next purge.

That’s a song that hasn’t got past the 64 cell stage

Gunz!

They aren’t JUST for kids, ya know.

omg, I just watched Jennifer’s vid. Why doesn’t he just be honest it and call that song “I Wanna Do You, Sarah”?

And, damn, what is WITH the wingnut bonerjams for her? I mean, she’s not unattractive and she’s not fat*. Other that than I don’t get the intense starbursting.

*I am not saying that being fat disqualifies you from being attractive, but unfortunately many people do think that.

Barack Obama has many names. He’s been called Savior, Messiah, and The Anointed One. He’s the first biracial and, some say, first post-racial president. He is charged as the leader of the free world, defender of democracy, and America’s head of state. He’s an accomplished organizer, spellbinding orator, and historically significant occupant of the Oval Office. And, he is a tyrant.
Americans hate tyrants. Tyrants are ruthless villains, hostile to the basic freedoms granted to humanity by God. Enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have spoken hope to Americans and to freedom-loving people around the world for 235 years. But, these basic, God-given rights are under assault. Not by international forces, but from within. From within America. From within the U.S. government itself and directly from the Office of the President.
Writing in the New England Journal of Political Science, Kris Aaron Beck and Prathibha V. Joshi discuss tyranny and tyrants in exhaustive detail in their work “On Tyranny: The Political and Economic Characteristics of the Authoritarian Regime.” According to Beck and Joshi, tyrants and tyrannies differ depending upon the political systems that they seek to dominate. Yet, there are characteristics common to all tyrants:
#1. Consolidation of Power (page 65).
Tyrants move quickly to centralize and consolidate power by “investing into one entity the authority to make political decisions previously found within multiple institutions.”
Barack Obama is currently in the consolidation phase of his tyrannical foray. He violates laws with impunity, forcing Congress and/or the Supreme Court to rein him in. Obama’s response to accusations of illegal activity might best be paraphrased as “You don’t like it? So sue me.”
Long, drawn out legal battles work in Obama’s favor. Legal attempts to rein in such a tyrant can be frustrating and only serve to give the apostate leader additional time and freedom to strengthen his hold.
By definition, tyranny is the “arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power.” Whether it’s Congressional oversight, court orders, or the American People, Obama is well-versed in circumventing any authority that may seek to limit his acquisition of power.
Though unpopular, unwanted, and un-Constitutional, he rammed a $2-trillion healthcare bill down the throats of an unwilling American people and then defied court orders restricting its implementation. He has violated the War Powers Act in Libya and has ignored court orders regarding his moratorium on offshore drilling.
In a move worthy of any would-be tyrant, Obama has proposed illegally requiring businesses competing for government contracts to disclose their political contributions.
Clearly in violation of the 4th Amendment, Obama and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano applaud the TSA’s warrantless groping of men, women, children, the elderly, and the infirm during airport screenings that reek of police state tactics.
The Justice Department has gone rogue too, ceasing defense of The Defense of Marriage Act and prosecution of hate crimes when the victims are white. Attorney General Eric Holder refused to prosecute the New Black Panther Party when members brandished clubs, made ethnic slurs, and threatened white voters attempting to enter the polls.
Obama’s federal power-grab has expanded into suing and threatening states. He sued Arizona for daring to enforce immigration law and joined a lawsuit against Indiana’s defunding of Planned Parenthood. The ATF is pressuring Montana and 7 additional states for passing the Firearms Freedom Act which restricts Federal regulation of firearms made and sold within the states’ borders. Obama even threatened to declare the entire state of Texas a “no fly zone” should the Texas legislature criminalize TSA screening procedures.
As a raw, political tactic Obama has refused to secure the southern border while Americans die on American soil at the hands of criminal illegal aliens. Undaunted, lawless Obama used executive powers to enact immigration policies through the back door, bypassing Congress and the rule of law.
When Obama’s Cap and Trade carbon-taxing scheme failed in Congress, he simply had the EPA declare carbon to be a toxic pollutant and open to regulation.
This is tyranny. And it must be stopped.
#2. Excessive Self-Love (page 45).
The defining characteristic of all tyrants, “…excessive self-love characterizes tyrannies and tyrants above all else[.]”
Tyrants are runaway narcissists. Lovers of self. Mirror-gazers. Free from empathy and empowered by apathy, these individuals are the users and abusers of society. Jailhouses are full of narcissists. As prolific serial liars, they live in a fantasy world of their own grandiose accomplishments, none of which have ever really occurred. A narcissist is a legend in his own mind. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Mugabe, Fidel Castro, Idi Amin, Kim Jong-il, Saddam Hussein, Hugo Chavez, Vladimir Putin — is it even arguable that these and others represent the dark extremes of self-love? Is it not then a concern that America’s current president is world-renowned for his enormous ego, his arrogant behavior and haughty manner, his dismissive attitude and belief that he’s always the smartest guy in the room?
#3. They Hate the Middle Class (page 83).
“…tyrannies loathe the development of a large middle-class even though it can act as an engine of economic growth.”
A thriving middle class is dangerous for any tyrant. With time and income to allow for certain luxuries, middle-class citizens can also become politically active. A strong and vibrant middle class is essential for a healthy economy, but it is also a driving force for the expansion of liberty. Liberty is a tyrant’s Kryptonite. It would stand to reason that the destruction of the middle class by the reduction of middle-class wealth would be an endgame for the tyrant in training.
The 4-year-long mortgage meltdown coupled with real unemployment numbers as high as 22% is decimating the middle class. Middle-class wealth has traditionally been in the equity of their homes and every day, homeowners are stripped of their futures as home values plummet. Many will never recover and never own another home. Formerly proud homeowners are being forced into subservience to a landlord. But which landlord? The Federal Government is now the largest single owner of residential property in the United States. And they are renting. The largest transfer of wealth in American history is happening right now, foreclosure by foreclosure, from the middle class to the Federal Government.
#4. A Vision for the Country (page 70).
“To further their control and justify that initial oppression, tyrants offer a vision for the country that includes where they believe the country should go and how to solve its problems…”
Hitler preached an evil hybrid of German nationalism and racial hatred. Mao’s Cultural Revolution sought to stamp out all cultural influences not in agreement with his socialist agenda. Barack Obama’s vision is social justice. Social justice is an idea tailor-made for tyrants. In his 3-volume work Law, Legislation and Liberty, F.A. Hayek warns of the dangers of social justice. On page 68 of Volume II, The Mirage of Social Justice, he tells us that “[s]o long as the belief in ‘social justice’ governs political action, this process must progressively approach nearer and nearer to a totalitarian system.”
With a smiling face, bold oratory, and lofty-sounding ideals, Barack Obama was able to convince America to trust him with the most powerful office in the world. He was thought to be unique. A healer. A man who would bind up the nation’s wounds and help us to move beyond the national shame of 246 years of slavery and a 100-year struggle for civil rights. He promised to improve America’s standing in the world, strengthen our economy, and promote fairness and equality. In 1963 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his most famous speech, I Have A Dream. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” America wondered if Barack Obama might be the fulfillment of Dr. King’s dream. As it turns out, he was.
Regardless of political persuasion, race, or economic status, most Americans quietly hoped that Barack Obama would succeed as president, grow our economy, and live up to his Oath of Office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Thirty months into his term as president, the evidence is overwhelming and America is horrified. Americans en masse have awakened to a president drunk with the wine of presidential power. Lawless, unaccountable, and unwilling to be restrained, Barack Obama has broken trust with America and he is being judged just as Dr. King had dreamed. Not by the color of his skin, but by the delinquent content of his character.
Barack Obama has many names. A new one is offered here for America to consider.
“Tyrannus Obama Rex.”
Obama, the Tyrant King.

If he’s a T-rex, how come his arms aren’t real short?

“If you are a black conservative, the left views you as a stupid self hating n***** suffering with Stockholm Syndrome. And yes, the left freely uses the “n” word when referring to black conservatives.”–Lloyd Marcus

Now that’s a guy with a novel definition of “the left,” not to mention “freely.”

This leftist (me) would describe Marcus as an opportunistic, stupid contrarian. Also unserious and unprincipled — lying about racism being at least unhelpful and more often harmful.

It’s quite an accomplishment for a black man to write that many words about race without stepping on any racists’ toes. Correction: Marcus concedes that a black person could conceivably be the best choice for the White House. He does it in a way that makes it crystal clear he’d be just fine with it never happening, for the good of the country.

Obama the Dinosaur king

If you are a black conservative, the left views you as you are a stupid self hating n***** suffering with Stockholm Syndrome. And yes, the left freely uses the “n” word when referring to black conservatives

I assume “the left” here means “black people in rap videos.” Never heard anyone else refer to black people, conservative or otherwise, with the N word, though “Uncle Tom” has been used (most unfairly to Harriet Beecher Stowe, who’d never have wanted association with the Confederate Party no matter what color the Johnny Reb in question was).

Black conservatives, though, are pretty much the poster men for conservative voters as a whole. Either so stupid that they don’t realize their bosses are robbing them blind, or hoping to escape that fate by helping them rob everyone else blind. Being black just makes it more blatant; there’s really nothing in Lloyd Marcus that’s not there in pretty much the entire conservative base.

And good lord, this is one smelly, persistent cave-troll. Singled out this part of the copy-paste;

Clearly in violation of the 4th Amendment, Obama and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano applaud the TSA’s warrantless groping of men, women, children, the elderly, and the infirm during airport screenings that reek of police state tactics.

And conservatives, to their credit, led the charge against those measures. To the sound of “stop groping our men, women, children, elderly and infirm – go grope THESE PEOPLE’s men, women, children, elderly and infirm! THEY deserve it!” [Insert racial epithet usually designating the wrong group of people]

Frankly, that did a lot to douse my outrage at the TSA’s measures.

Of course Obama’s a dinosaur. He is one of the Reptilians, after all.

Troll babble:

Barack Obama has many names. He’s been called Savior, Messiah, and The Anointed One.

No, no, no. It’s Harry Reid who is The Anointed One, or sometimes The Phallic Lord of the Western Sands. Obama is the Seventh Spawn of Cthulhu, Lizard King, the Devourer of Souls, or General Secretary of the Communist Party of Hell.

Aw, JesusfuckingChristonacorndogstick.

O’course, he’s been called that by weirdo nutcase righties busy yanking on their todgers and drooling down their chins while they type with one hand. Why can’t we make up some bizarre lies out of whole cloth and get it accepted by most of the media? Why can’t we shriek constantly like a castrato being rogered? What’s to stop us creating malignant fantasies with which to impugn the right?

yeah, i wondered about that too. I suppose she is ok looking, as it goes, but to paraphrase someone; “I thought you were nice, then you spoke.” As for the wingnut boners, I don’t think its for her looks, its the fantasy of being well spanked by her, following a naked chase through the wilds of Alaska, or some related wingnut fantasy.

“A vote to increase the debt limit in this country is an existential question for a fiscal conservative,”

…has there ever been a bigger piece of left-wing propaganda than Avatar?…

…hasn’t Murdoch bragged about News Corp’s environmental policies and how it uses Fox movies and TV shows to push a “green” agenda? Would a conservative do that?…

Since I’m not brave enough to get outa da boat, did the tossbag mention how scandalous it would be if a wimmins got in Da Whitey House? I mean, centre of the Free Wurreld and all, shame the US has been beaten to the Femme Head of State sceptre by the likes of Britain, Pakistan, and Chile.

I suspect that if a woman got in, one of two things would happen: if it was Michele Bachmann or the like, he’d whittle his willy down to nothing in a frenzy of masturbation, while if it was more like Michelle Obama, he’d spontaneously explode.

If a woman was elected Prez, she might do something frivolous, like change the china pattern.

BwwAAahAHaHAHahaAHHAHAAAHHh!!ones. That soft-porn celebrity news tabloid paper is teh Sun. You know, teh paper wot won it. That makes no attempt at pretending it’s not an ultra-right über-conservatard totes partial and partisan and even activist rag. So based only on the very same softcore-pr0ns being cited – yes, conservatives would do that. And by that I mean insulting their readership’s intelligence by blatantly exploiting women – for mo’ moneys. Yeah, I am having difficulties thinking of conservatards that wouldn’t be allupons for that.

Ah yes, the eternal defense of the conservative AFTER the person on his side of the aisle is caught with his hand in the cookie jar. “Well, he’s stealing cookies! No REAL conservative would steal cookies!”

The absolute best trick conservatives ever played on their idiot fan base is the moral sentinel ploy. Be against softcore pornography, then splatter all over the place to show everyone how prevalent it is in our ever-declining, ever-decaying society.

The fuckwits eat it up.

From Cooke’s original piece:

Simon Hoggart may well lament that “members of Parliament have been terrified of the Murdoch press,” but the citizens of the United Kingdom should not.

After all there is nothing wrong with having unelected foreign nationals shaping policy. Howlin; Mad Murdoch is accountable to his shareholders (aside from the fact that he owns controlling interest in voting shares) and his board of directors (which he happens to be Chairman of). That’s at least as much accountability as the other cabinet ministers have to deal with*.

*Sadly true.

Aside from British cabinet ministers, I figure there are several US congress critters who are accountable to Murdoch’s shareholders and board of directors as well.

The Supreme Court has not ruled on post-9/11 airport security procedures, but the Ninth Circuit ruled in United States. v. Aukai that “airport screening searches, like the one at issue here, are constitutionally reasonable administrative searches because they are conducted as part of a general regulatory scheme in furtherance of an administrative purpose, namely, to prevent the carrying of weapons or explosives aboard aircraft, and thereby to prevent hijackings.”

“So I had Cheneys on both sides of the family and we don’t even live in West Virginia!”

Not going to lie; I do get a small schadenfreudy vibe every time an incident like this pops up and reminds the conservative voter base that their heroes are every bit as contemptuous and mocking of them as the fictional liberal elitists they’re always getting worked up about. Even if it never sticks out in their memories.

(Frankly, I imagine a lot of campaign strategists laugh their heads off at every campaign cycle once they’re behind closed doors, at just how much crap they were able to make them swallow).

“are their conservatives the same as our conservatives? or is it like the private/public school thing?”

The difference is that our conservative politics is in the crapper while theirs is in the loo.

The rub is that wingnutty ideas have consistently been so seminal in US* history. Manifest Destiny, Big Stick policy, isolationism, Bircherism, Team B, the lip-music-based magical thinking of Greenspan, trickle-down theory … & so many more.

Seductively comforting bullshit: never a drug on the market.

Clicked on Chris’ link to get a mango, and the mango was ripe!

The original question was: How do you suggest I deal with the demeaning attitudes and intense anger that so many liberals express toward conservatives these days?

A helpful wit commented: In my experience a barrage of small arms fire works pretty well.

Oh, those mean liberals!

How do you suggest I deal with the demeaning attitudes and intense anger that so many liberals express toward conservatives these days?

Curling up in a ball and crying “mommy” works so well for Glennnn Beck, I’m surprised it wasn’t the first answer.

OMG, this may be the best mango ever grown in the “Pajamas Media” orchard, from the actual article:

When your interlocutor reads the New York Times and The New Yorker, listens to National Public Radio, and watches The Rachel Maddow Show — all uncritically and in the mistaken belief that these are objective sources of accurate information, what you’re dealing with is a person with an extremely restricted understanding of the country and the world. These parochial news sources reinforce one another. And even worse, the liberal will usually refuse to expose him-or-herself to a wider variety of sources. I, myself, had the experience of emailing a liberal acquaintance a link to an insightful op-ed piece that appeared in a newspaper that is, apparently, on the liberal “do not read” list. In reply, he wrote, “The Wall Street Journal? Please take me off your distribution list, Belladonna.” Wouldn’t even read it. He saw the source, knew it wasn’t approved, and that was that.

Oh, how droll!

Oh, PJMedia, I just can’t quit you… (last copypaste, I swear!):

What not to do: Don’t think you can convert a liberal to your views. Political affiliation has become a matter of tribal and personal identification with a group. Although it may appear to be rational, it isn’t, entirely. It’s emotional. The desire to remain a liberal, even in the face of all the evidence of its failures, is born of humanity’s — and all living creatures’ — deepest instincts to affiliate with others and to retain that affiliation regardless of logic or facts. Not everyone has either the desire or the need to think analytically about political realities. Many base their politics on a yearning to be part of a movement larger than themselves.
Try to be patient with your liberal friends. Their unexamined premises and their overwhelming desire for affiliation with their tribe are understandable, and not everyone has the temperament or inclination to think for him-or-herself. They’re like prisoners trapped in a dungeon, unable to escape.
You could approach the challenge this way: try to show the liberals in your life what a thoughtful conservative is really like — as distinct from the demented fiend on the lunatic fringe conjured by their fevered imaginations.

Oh, Belladonna Rogers, I just want to corner you at a cocktail party and ask you all about the successes of movement conservatism, as embodied by the Bush maladministration.

Oh, I forgot, Bush was always a closet liberal.

How do you suggest I deal with the demeaning attitudes and intense anger that so many liberals express toward conservatives these days?

Their vision is basically to repeal the 20th century and go back to the Gilded Age — let the fabulously wealthy live the good life, to heck with everyone else.

Heh — Deferring to Pup.

As to beer, you can’t really go too wrong visiting any of the local breweries, although I have my favorites. Generally, the smaller ones can be a bit more fun and have a better variety of creative beers than the larger ones. I’ve been enjoying HUB beers a bunch. The Lucky Lab is a fun place too. There are a wide variety of McMenamins each with their own theme, and although I don’t think their beer is anything special, they can still be fun places to hang out.

If you like books, do not miss Powell’s.

It’s a great city, have fun.

Re McMenamins: My opinion ismt worth much next to OBbut but I must say that wrt to beer, mediocrity is their strong suit.

Prezactly. The pubs are cool places, they just don’t have great beer. If you’re used to mainstream beers, it probably seems exotic, but…

Let me put it this way: One of the two McMenamins Corvallis locations is literally a half block away right across the street from my office. I haven’t been there in months. Of course, since it’s Corvallis, there are three other pubs/restaurants within about two blocks with prolly 40 or more taps of good beer between them. That may influence my happy hour choice just a bit.

It may surprise him to learn that what turned this reader off from conservatism in the first place was reading through the articles and comments sections at PJMedia (or what would become PJMedia) and getting the experience of just how demented the “lunatic fringe” e.g. the conservative base really was.

I didn’t have a liberal media planting imaginary Repubs in my fevered imagination – I just listened to the Repubs and formed the logical conclusion. If you think you’re going to convince the average liberal just by showing them “what conservatives are really like,” you’re on drugs.

oh, good dog…the *editor* of our local weekly rag includes this in his column:

…sent us a lengthy report from Alan Keyes, founder of DA, that, would make your eyes pop out, and which Keyes swears is true and substantial, and about which he is so intent on proving, that his DA group has a law suit pending before our U.S. Supreme Court, and which Keyes says DA will proceed with if current House Speaker John Boehmer does not start impeachment process of President Obama. For a copy of this report, anyone is invited to contact Keyes co/o DA at PO Box 131728 Houston, TX. 77219-1728. Interesting reading, to be sure, and which you can be certain today’s major media will not dare to touch for fear of upsetting their big apple cart!

I didn’t have a liberal media planting imaginary Repubs in my fevered imagination – I just listened to the Repubs and formed the logical conclusion

One look at the “small arms fire” comment posted after an article about liberal incivility should be enough to convince any fence-sitters.

DA group has a law suit pending before our U.S. Supreme Court, and which Keyes says DA will proceed with if current House Speaker John Boehmer does not start impeachment process of President Obama

Bullshit. There is no such case currently “pending before” the Supreme Court, nor is there likely to be in the future; the SC gets to choose the cases they will hear, and they will most likely refuse to hear it just like the California Supreme Court did because it is an idiotic waste of time.

I am nominating Alan Keyes for a Nobel prize.

Bullshit. There is no such case currently “pending before” the Supreme Court, nor is there likely to be in the future;

of course! but this is the same fuckwit who ACTUALLY PUBLISHED the following tidbit in his aforementioned weekly *column*:

Did you know….
that the words ” race car ” spelled backward still spells “race car”?
that “eat” is the only word that, if you take the 1st letter and move it to the last, it spells its past tense, “ate”?

And have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in “illegal immigrants,” and add just a few more letters, it spells: “Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, baby-making, violent, non-English-speaking assholes and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, camel-riding, goat-loving, raggedy-ass bastards with you.”

welcome to my hell…

nah…they will just use their JKLOL!!!! and WORDS DON’T MEAN ANYTHING!!! defenses…and the the fence sitters will agree…

Whoa! Ive been insulating myself from the moat extreme whiners so I was not aware that Alan Keyes said that shit. Setting the precedent for foreign military intervention in the US, eh? Brilliant strategy by Obama – what could possibly make that plan unworkable?

Sounds like a guy who hears about the flaming bag of poop gag and thinks it sounds clever AND hilarious, so he fills a plastic bag with diarrhea…

welcome to my hell…

and the the fence sitters will agree…

equals, I really have no desire to leave the Northeast ever again, unless it involves an international flight.

unless it involves an international flight.

tix for two?

welcome to my hell…

Ask the guy how the Georgia farmers are doing without their free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, baby-making, violent, non-English-speaking assholes.

And I had to LOL at “baby-making.” You’d prefer baby-aborting immigrants? Yeah, I suppose you would, wouldn’t you…

so he fills a plastic bag with diarrhea…

this is funny because he recently went through an appalling series of intestinal issues/procedures and ALMOST DIED!!!! of which we had to read about in his *column*…so he really COULD fill a plastic bag full of diarrhea…which his readership would welcome over his usual newspaper full of diarrhea…

And have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in “illegal immigrants,” and add just a few more letters, it spells: “Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, baby-making, violent, non-English-speaking assholes and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, camel-riding, goat-loving, raggedy-ass bastards with you.”

But, yeah, those liberals are SO obnoxious and delusional. HOW does one–politely–stand her ground with them?!!!!!! *imaginary clutching of one of my awesome necklaces I can’t wear because Dudeskull throws his head around like he’s possessed and I’m afraid he’ll bonk it on the pendants*

*imaginary clutching of one of my awesome necklaces I can’t wear because Dudeskull throws his head around like he’s possessed and I’m afraid he’ll bonk it on the pendants*

well, if they have their way, they can then jail the immigrants for illegal abortions! It’s a two-fer.

they are fiendish strong…

I. KNOW!

well, if they have their way, they can then jail the immigrants for illegal abortions! It’s a two-fer.

no, then they would be getting 3 hots and a cot, once again getting free stuff they don’t deserve…i guess we would have to kill them…

I. KNOW!

and it is total crap that their little skulls are soft…not when they bonk you directly in the face, they aren’t!

Babies’ skull aren’t soft; they just have the one soft spot at the crown.

God put that there so nurses could carry them 4 at a time.

What?

This reminds me of a very tasteful joke about female anatomy and the shape of hand when carrying a six-pack.

LOL! Debt Ceiling Kabuki enters new phase of ridiculousnesses – Senate Minority Leader has proposed a Calvinball-esque bureaucratic nightmare nonsense everyone stop and look at me solution. Let Obama raise teh Debt Ceiling on his own, but only by jumping through a bunch of symbolic hoops designed to do nothing at all except waste time. Yeeeha!

Did I mention that this is teh Senate Minority Leader? The one d00d amongst all teh “leadership” positions that has no say whatsoever in it?

no, then they would be getting 3 hots and a cot,

Political affiliation has become a matter of tribal and personal identification with a group. Although it may appear to be rational, it isn’t, entirely. It’s emotional. The desire to remain a liberal, even in the face of all the evidence of its failures, is born of humanity’s — and all living creatures’ — deepest instincts to affiliate with others and to retain that affiliation regardless of logic or facts.

Oh, Mark, you got me back in the PJM fever swamp, and I found this funny little mango:

I know the feeling! I was at a luncheon reception after a funeral in Massachusetts and someone began to talk about how stupid George Bush was. Now I’m mot great of George Bush, but it was more than I could take. I pointed out that Barack Obama was the product of affirmative action and refused to release his college transcripts because his grades were likely worse than Bush.

This guy shouldn’t impugn anyone’s intellect.

Meanwhile over at Wonkette, gross WaPo headline announces Rick Perry has huge opening

Not just a goat rodeo…

“It’s a huge opening for Rick Perry — huge, huge, huge,” said New Hampshire operative Mike Dennehy, who is neutral in the race. “If he announces and really announces with a bang, he could gobble up a solid third of the Republican Party establishment in New Hampshire and, I do believe, nationally.”

This guy and Marcus Bachmann need to get together.

from the pjm link:

I’ve noticed that liberals have a really hard time understanding sarcasm, irony, and other forms of indirect argument. Comes from having no sense of humor, I suppose.

ya hear that?!? you. are. NOT. funneh.

Equally, in politics, compromise can be equally untenable. Why should one compromise over increasing debt?

right! let’s be assholes over an arbitrary number! fuck everything else!

It’s not nice to laugh at people like Glenn. That’s like laughing at a the guy who was just smashed by a falling piano. Like the piano-smashed guy, he is far beyond help and can’t really do much about his own situation.

So RP has a “huge” opening, that can “gobble up” a solid third of the Republican establishment.

OK, is he going to take Romney and Bachmann from behind?
Is his campaign ready to explode in their faces?
Is he being careful not to climax before the primary foreplay is over?
Will he thrust himself into the Media spotlight?
Does he have the stamina to satisfy the voters over the long haul?

I have to say, I prefer these to the war metaphors they ordinarily use

Does he have an agenda to ram down our throats?

I guess we know Ricky is a bottom.

Rick Perry will say to the DC village “People, I’m here.”

There was one car that had all these stickers on it…and it was clear that the raison detre of this person was just this: annoy liberals. In fact, one of the stickers said that. I tried to take a pic of it, but the glare of the window prevented me. Also it was blurry. God, wingnuts are obnoxious.

Howard, this here Jay Clarke feller says Obama’s a tyrant.
That don’t make no sense. You can’t elect a tyrant.
Well, how ’bout a dicktater.
Nope you can’t elect a dicktater neither.
You sure ’bout that?
Yep, I’m pretty sure. Dicktaters and tyrants are different.
So you’re sayin’ Obama ain’t a dicktater or a tyrant?
I reckon not.
That Jay feller must be some kind ‘o dumb fuck.
Yep, he’s a dumb fuck.
I been reading all these comments writ here too.

About the same. Obama’s a dicktater tyrant.
Well, they’re all dumb fucks.

I always want to take pictures of obnoxious bumper stickers I see around town, but I’m too chicken.

I’m not gonna try and take pictures while driving, but I saw one a while back saying “Beware of Liberals Masquerading as Americans”.

And yet if I found that guy’s car and left a note saying “More importantly, beware of conservatives masquerading as non-sociopaths”, *I’d* be the bigoted one.

Why should one compromise over increasing debt?

Well, both sides have voted for it in the past (and done nothing to change it nor even worried about it until now), both sides agree it must be done or the US economy will be even more in the crappah than it currently is, and a no vote is the action of a petulant and very stupid child, but yeah, no need to compromise when you can stand on principals you don’t have to fuck up the country you are sworn to serve and claim to love.

God, wingnuts are obnoxious.

well, there you go being humorless and intolerant!

both sides agree it must be done or the US economy will be even more in the crappah than it currently is,

even local uber-conservative radio show hosts admits it must be done…but then again, we can’t even get mn’s shit together…

The fact is, Obama IS worse than Hitler. Here is the proof:

Barack Obama has many names. He’s been called Savior, Messiah, and The Anointed One. He’s the first biracial and, some say, first post-racial president. He is charged as the leader of the free world, defender of democracy, and America’s head of state. He’s an accomplished organizer, spellbinding orator, and historically significant occupant of the Oval Office. And, he is a tyrant.
Americans hate tyrants. Tyrants are ruthless villains, hostile to the basic freedoms granted to humanity by God. Enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have spoken hope to Americans and to freedom-loving people around the world for 235 years. But, these basic, God-given rights are under assault. Not by international forces, but from within. From within America. From within the U.S. government itself and directly from the Office of the President.
Writing in the New England Journal of Political Science, Kris Aaron Beck and Prathibha V. Joshi discuss tyranny and tyrants in exhaustive detail in their work “On Tyranny: The Political and Economic Characteristics of the Authoritarian Regime.” According to Beck and Joshi, tyrants and tyrannies differ depending upon the political systems that they seek to dominate. Yet, there are characteristics common to all tyrants:
#1. Consolidation of Power (page 65).
Tyrants move quickly to centralize and consolidate power by “investing into one entity the authority to make political decisions previously found within multiple institutions.”
Barack Obama is currently in the consolidation phase of his tyrannical foray. He violates laws with impunity, forcing Congress and/or the Supreme Court to rein him in. Obama’s response to accusations of illegal activity might best be paraphrased as “You don’t like it? So sue me.”
Long, drawn out legal battles work in Obama’s favor. Legal attempts to rein in such a tyrant can be frustrating and only serve to give the apostate leader additional time and freedom to strengthen his hold.
By definition, tyranny is the “arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power.” Whether it’s Congressional oversight, court orders, or the American People, Obama is well-versed in circumventing any authority that may seek to limit his acquisition of power.
Though unpopular, unwanted, and un-Constitutional, he rammed a $2-trillion healthcare bill down the throats of an unwilling American people and then defied court orders restricting its implementation. He has violated the War Powers Act in Libya and has ignored court orders regarding his moratorium on offshore drilling.
In a move worthy of any would-be tyrant, Obama has proposed illegally requiring businesses competing for government contracts to disclose their political contributions.
Clearly in violation of the 4th Amendment, Obama and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano applaud the TSA’s warrantless groping of men, women, children, the elderly, and the infirm during airport screenings that reek of police state tactics.
The Justice Department has gone rogue too, ceasing defense of The Defense of Marriage Act and prosecution of hate crimes when the victims are white. Attorney General Eric Holder refused to prosecute the New Black Panther Party when members brandished clubs, made ethnic slurs, and threatened white voters attempting to enter the polls.
Obama’s federal power-grab has expanded into suing and threatening states. He sued Arizona for daring to enforce immigration law and joined a lawsuit against Indiana’s defunding of Planned Parenthood. The ATF is pressuring Montana and 7 additional states for passing the Firearms Freedom Act which restricts Federal regulation of firearms made and sold within the states’ borders. Obama even threatened to declare the entire state of Texas a “no fly zone” should the Texas legislature criminalize TSA screening procedures.
As a raw, political tactic Obama has refused to secure the southern border while Americans die on American soil at the hands of criminal illegal aliens. Undaunted, lawless Obama used executive powers to enact immigration policies through the back door, bypassing Congress and the rule of law.
When Obama’s Cap and Trade carbon-taxing scheme failed in Congress, he simply had the EPA declare carbon to be a toxic pollutant and open to regulation.
This is tyranny. And it must be stopped.
#2. Excessive Self-Love (page 45).
The defining characteristic of all tyrants, “…excessive self-love characterizes tyrannies and tyrants above all else[.]”
Tyrants are runaway narcissists. Lovers of self. Mirror-gazers. Free from empathy and empowered by apathy, these individuals are the users and abusers of society. Jailhouses are full of narcissists. As prolific serial liars, they live in a fantasy world of their own grandiose accomplishments, none of which have ever really occurred. A narcissist is a legend in his own mind. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Mugabe, Fidel Castro, Idi Amin, Kim Jong-il, Saddam Hussein, Hugo Chavez, Vladimir Putin — is it even arguable that these and others represent the dark extremes of self-love? Is it not then a concern that America’s current president is world-renowned for his enormous ego, his arrogant behavior and haughty manner, his dismissive attitude and belief that he’s always the smartest guy in the room?
#3. They Hate the Middle Class (page 83).
“…tyrannies loathe the development of a large middle-class even though it can act as an engine of economic growth.”
A thriving middle class is dangerous for any tyrant. With time and income to allow for certain luxuries, middle-class citizens can also become politically active. A strong and vibrant middle class is essential for a healthy economy, but it is also a driving force for the expansion of liberty. Liberty is a tyrant’s Kryptonite. It would stand to reason that the destruction of the middle class by the reduction of middle-class wealth would be an endgame for the tyrant in training.
The 4-year-long mortgage meltdown coupled with real unemployment numbers as high as 22% is decimating the middle class. Middle-class wealth has traditionally been in the equity of their homes and every day, homeowners are stripped of their futures as home values plummet. Many will never recover and never own another home. Formerly proud homeowners are being forced into subservience to a landlord. But which landlord? The Federal Government is now the largest single owner of residential property in the United States. And they are renting. The largest transfer of wealth in American history is happening right now, foreclosure by foreclosure, from the middle class to the Federal Government.
#4. A Vision for the Country (page 70).
“To further their control and justify that initial oppression, tyrants offer a vision for the country that includes where they believe the country should go and how to solve its problems…”
Hitler preached an evil hybrid of German nationalism and racial hatred. Mao’s Cultural Revolution sought to stamp out all cultural influences not in agreement with his socialist agenda. Barack Obama’s vision is social justice. Social justice is an idea tailor-made for tyrants. In his 3-volume work Law, Legislation and Liberty, F.A. Hayek warns of the dangers of social justice. On page 68 of Volume II, The Mirage of Social Justice, he tells us that “[s]o long as the belief in ‘social justice’ governs political action, this process must progressively approach nearer and nearer to a totalitarian system.”
With a smiling face, bold oratory, and lofty-sounding ideals, Barack Obama was able to convince America to trust him with the most powerful office in the world. He was thought to be unique. A healer. A man who would bind up the nation’s wounds and help us to move beyond the national shame of 246 years of slavery and a 100-year struggle for civil rights. He promised to improve America’s standing in the world, strengthen our economy, and promote fairness and equality. In 1963 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his most famous speech, I Have A Dream. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” America wondered if Barack Obama might be the fulfillment of Dr. King’s dream. As it turns out, he was.
Regardless of political persuasion, race, or economic status, most Americans quietly hoped that Barack Obama would succeed as president, grow our economy, and live up to his Oath of Office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Thirty months into his term as president, the evidence is overwhelming and America is horrified. Americans en masse have awakened to a president drunk with the wine of presidential power. Lawless, unaccountable, and unwilling to be restrained, Barack Obama has broken trust with America and he is being judged just as Dr. King had dreamed. Not by the color of his skin, but by the delinquent content of his character.
Barack Obama has many names. A new one is offered here for America to consider.
“Tyrannus Obama Rex.”
Obama, the Tyrant King.

Say what you will about Hitler, but at least he wasn’t a Scroll Troll.

You gotta pay the Scroll Troll, if you wanna get into that boy’s hole…

and then i remembered where i was and was like, ‘whoa…that’s not a shorter! that’s an actual headline…’

Oh fuck off Tom Friedman and reinvent your head out of your ass.

am i just dumb or did this bit of info not make any fricking sense? really? the sector that is worth the most bazillions of dollars is hiring virtually no one because it’s cheaper that way, but you should re-invent yourself so that you can creatively fill these non-existent job offerings?

am i just dumb or did this bit of info not make any fricking sense? really? the sector that is worth the most bazillions of dollars is hiring virtuall y no one because it’s cheaper that way, but you should re-invent yourself so that you can creatively fill these non-existent job offerings?

It’s also telling that none of those businesses actually make anything, it’s just an electronic circle-jerk, and the programming jobs will be outsourced to India as soon as corporations buy these companies out.

In other news, Republican ratfuck attempt drowns in its own fail.

Did the Rs actually believe that people angry enough and involved enough to start the recall drives wouldn’t pay attention to who the candidates were?

Actually, I don’t think the ratfuck was meant in that way. After all, the Rs admitted early on they were entering candidates

for an obscene amount of dollars…

Quibble.

That’s productivity. IMO, Zynga’s Farmville and LinkedIn should count as being actual products.

My two biggest problems with this Friedman piece are:

1. As pointed out in McG’s hyperlink text – Friedman should reinvent his head out of his ass. You know what teh exact opposite of people who can invent, adapt and reinvent their jobs every day, in a market that changes faster than ever is? I’ll tell you in six months.

2. Let’s go into Crazee Tommy’s Bizzaro World. Let’s assume everything he says is exactly right and teh future of everything is teh most dynamic Silicon Valley model of high value-low employment juggernauts. How teh fuck does this stimulate demand? In teh ludicrous extreme where everyone has Start-Up themselves with their dynamic innovative nimble and agile personal BusinessPlans that adapt to teh ever changing market – where’s teh monies come from? How can everyone have multi-million dollar market valuations if no one is buying anything?

I mean, yeah congrats to Friedman for recognizing that workers right now are being squeezed for ever moar productivity on ever less remuneration – but FUCK YOU FRIEDMAN for thinking this is a great thing. Record high unemployment hand-in-hand with record high corporate profits is NOT A FEATURE. IT’S A BUG.

Record high unemployment hand-in-hand with record high corporate profits is NOT A FEATURE. IT’S A BUG.

Well, that all depends really. Are you the one that’s unemployed or the one making record pofits?

re: Quibble

Here’s what I think was being gotten at about electronic circle jerks (from teh comments on Tommy’s piece):

The supposed value of social networking companies, or internet companies that serve as mere conduits for what others create, is precisely what’s wrong with the economy. They’re valued in absurd disproportion to what they actually contribute to society. It’s all perception and no substance. I’d feel much better if you told me that the fastest growing companies were developing new energy sources. We need to think strategically for the long term, and not simply react like infatuated teenagers to the sensation of the moment.

Yeah, stuff like that stupid Interstate highway network or telephony or FFS, writing – contribute nothing to society. You can’t eat or wear literacy, so what good is it?

Oh wait, that’s different. Because of stuff.

From a pure business perspective – in regards to new energy sources – I’m pretty confident that LinkedIn has done moar to supply electricity to that commenter’s home than all of teh “new energy sources” companies in teh world combined.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to defend these guys with their “I founded a multi-billion dollar start-up, why can’t you?” blase bullshite. A lot of wot they did was luck out. Plus teh world they are proposing – supposedly where merit trumps all and teh people with teh most ability will rise to teh top – is really just a circle-jerk of it’s own. Here’s a hint from Lil Tommy

It also means using your network to pull in information and intelligence about where the growth opportunities are

IOW, it’s not who you are or what you can do – it’s who you know.

Well, that all depends really. Are you the one that’s unemployed or the one making record pofits?

i am thinking that it’s only a matter of time before the second (third?) internet bubble bursts…

Yer dern tootin.

IOW, it’s not who you are or what you can do – it’s who you know.

which makes us all slap our foreheads and say, ‘duh!’

IOW, it’s not who you are or what you can do – it’s who you know.

so, actually tommy boy HAS come up with a new and creative way to tell us an old truth…thereby proving his theory…

Record high unemployment hand-in-hand with record high corporate profits is NOT A FEATURE. IT’S A BUG.

It’s a feature if you’re into the Reserve Army of Labor type of thing.

damn it..

One moar dig at Friedman, while I’m hogging all teh commentary. Here’s teh closing graf:

Finally, you have to strengthen the muscles of resilience. “You may have seen the news that [the] online radio service Pandora went public the other week,” Hoffman said. “What’s lesser known is that in the early days [the founder] pitched his idea more than 300 times to V.C.’s with no luck.”

This is with respect to treating your career in teh way entrepreneurs treat their business plans. Nevermind that just two grafs earlier we were told that Entrepreneurs don’t write a 100-page business plan and execute it one time; they’re always experimenting and adapting based on what they learn. Moar importantly – we’re talking about being able to handle rejection whilst floundering about inteh job market.

So, is Little Tommy Friedman coming out for much stronger unemployment benefits and a moar robust social safety net?

HahAHhaHahhahhaHHAHh! I made myself laugh.

Nevermind that just two grafs earlier

you certainly got more out of it than i did…i read that graf and went ‘huh?’ also, too what’s a v.c.?

More at my crappy blog.

ha, ha…i checked out outhouse yesterday to find a pic of new media meade with his foot perched upon a fountain at the capitol whilst snapping a pic of those stooopid protesters…i just wonder what other types of historic monument type defacement they have been up to…

Shorter Michael Potemra, NRO:

This review a book about femal masturbation reminds me that RUN! MUSLIMS ARE TAKING OVER CANADA!</blockquote

I type good.

I type good.

and some day you may talk pretty too…

this: “The younger writers are obsessed with motherhood and monogamy.”

strikes me as vastly different than this:

the definition of sexual freedom—the fact that women have come to regard sex more in the way that men do, as an elemental part of life, no less essential than eating or breathing, and thus no more in need of cheerleading

but then again, i am 45, so prolly qualify as raunchier…

and yes, while women having sex shouldn’t be seen as whorish, the fact that he seems to think that procreation and an almost unattainable goal of monogamy is what really makes makes women sexually free makes me want to punch him in his big, dumb head…

making babies and only sleeping with one man…so 2011!!!

RUN! MUSLIMS ARE TAKING OVER CANADA!

Just the other day I had my head chopped off. But hey, FREE HEALTH CARE!

,,,and thus no more in need of cheerleading,,,

You’ll have to pry my cheerleader pr0ns from my cold and sticky fingahs.

Juicy mango from yesterday’s PJM link,

David Brooks is paid to pretend to be a conservative so he can be trotted out for occasions just like this. The NYT has been dong this for decades. What do you think, that they would let a real conservative wrte for them?

in response to someone pointing out that even Brooks sees the light on the debt ceiling.

They really are between a rock and a hard place. Their news outlets pump out shit like the debt ceiling controversy day in and day out to stir up the wingnuts, and they assume that when it’s over the wingnuts will just go back inside quietly because that’s what their told.

Meanwhile, the idiots like the PJM readers are going “what the hell is going on? Why can’t we all just close ranks and tell Obama to pound sand? After all raising the debt ceiling’s bad, the nice guy on Fox News told me so, why are some of us floundering? Oh my God, the liberals must’ve gotten to them too! Is there no one in Washington that the Vast Liberal Conspiracy can’t get to?” Which is how Bush, McCain and Brooks, among others, manage to be labeled RINOs and liberals.

You’ll have to pry my cheerleader pr0ns from my cold and sticky fingahs.

About damn time we got serious about protecting our 2nd Amendment rights, one of only 2 amendments in the Bill of Rights. (The other one being the 10th.)

Bill would kill age limits for hunting

The proposed Mentored Youth Hunting Program is outlined in Senate Bill 207 [Michigan], sponsored by state Sen. Joe Hune, R-Hamburg Township, and House Bill 4371, both of which await Gov. Rick Snyder’s signature.

Under current law, Michigan youth must be at least age 10 to get a hunter’s license, and at least age 12 to hunt with a firearm.

The new license would include a resident small-game license, combination deer license, all-species fishing license, spring and fall turkey-hunting licenses, and a resident fur-harvester license.

Hune said he proposed the idea in the Senate to keep hunting alive in Michigan, and to give younger children the opportunity to enjoy hunting alongside adults.

Wow. And I thought they were crazy down here. At least we’re not all for giving guns to 6 year olds yet. What could possibly go wrong???

Does that include that film clip of Michelle Malkin as cheerleader?
Ugh. No. Eeeeuw.

Finally MUSLIMS ARE TAKING OVER CANADA!

Usually I take teh train, but when I drive, I actually drive past that school on my way home. I ain’t fond of how Islam treats women, but let me just point out to those all raging agin’ teh horrible Islamic infiltration into our institutions of iducation – Toronto has a separate publicly funded Catholic School Board.

Juicy mango from yesterday’s PJM link,

Nice catch. Not sure that we’ll ever see peak wingnut, but these guys are devolving beyond parody, into a parody of a parody of a parody.

If these guys were somehow to find themselves in a contiguous geographic location with all the levers of government at their disposal, how long before the purity brigades whittle down the population to a single person?

David Fucking Brooks is a Liberal now…OK…Backs quietly out of the room…
.

Oh my God, the liberals must’ve gotten to them too!

UNPOSSIBLE!!! according to the link and the comments of aforesaid, we liberals are NOT able to convert anyone to our side because we are stooopid. furthermore, we WOULD NOT even talk to conservatives because we are bitter, humourless, unfunneh lunatics with no reasoning skills or facts and we feel unquenchable, irrational anger towards ALL conservatives. anytime we encounter conservatives and their correct facts, all we can do is either give them a blank stare, babble, and throw down our napkins, huff out of the room and slam our doors.

this is the way we react in every situation which is much, much worse than being a vicious, greedy, sanctimonious corporate christian asshole…

Wow. And I thought they were crazy down here. At least we’re not all for giving guns to 6 year olds yet.

Concealed carry for 6 year olds. In school.

Conservatives go one better; not only to they give us a blank stare, babble, throw down their napkins, huff out of the room and slam the doors, they then proceed to write a letter detailing their exploits to PJM, which will reward them with a free therapy session and an opportunity to discuss their problems in a forum without the disruptive influence of nonconservative “people.”

from the michigan dnr:

Q. What caliber or gauge of firearm (rifle, shotgun, pistol) can I use to hunt deer north of the “Rifle-Shotgun Line”?
Any caliber or gauge is legal north of the “Rifle-Shotgun Line” except a .22 caliber rimfire or smaller caliber rimfire rifle or pistol. All centerfire rifles and handguns and all shotguns are legal in this area regardless of caliber or gauge.

really? i see no reason why NOT to let someone younger than 10 or 12 out there! holy crap, i don’t even like it when my husband goes ‘slug’ hunting on PRIVATE land…by all means, let’s let more youngster out amongst drunk hunters with itchy trigger fingers and big guns!

indeed, marion…what could go wrong!

Bill would kill age limits for hunting

I’m actually relieved, I thought the bill involved hunting children.

re: Valley Park Middle School

In case anyone’s interested. Don Mills and Overlea isn’t the nicest intersection for pedestrians. The Don Valley Parking Lot dumps a lot of folks on their way to West-Scarborough (like myself) or almost anywhere in East York through that intersection. You only have to go back as far as a couple weeks to find a kid who was hit by a car while leaving that school.

Three years ago, when they instituted the prayer service, these kids were trooping off to mosque a couple hundred meters down the street. On Fridays after lunch. So many of them never made it back to class*.

It doesn’t seem like an unreasonable accomodation to allow prayer in the cafeteria – considering that attendance is in the neighbourhood of a third of the school.

As to teh complaint:

Imagine if you’re a soi-disant moderate Muslim, genuinely so. You came to Canada because Yemen’s a dump, and you don’t want to waste your life there. And your daughter loves it, and wants to be Canadian, and be just like the other girls in her street. And then she goes to Valley Park Middle School: What if she doesn’t feel it’s a religious obligation to attend Friday prayers (as some Muslims argue)? Think there’s much chance of being able to opt out easily at Valley Park? What if she wants to dress as she wishes to rather than as the Wahhabi/Salafist imam orders? What if she doesn’t want to tell the creepy perve imam whether she’s menstruating or not? What, in other words, is her chance of being able to attend Valley Park as a regular Canadian schoolgirl?

Considering that the demographics of the area is close to half Muslim – mostly new families recent to the area – and only a third attend the service? I’d say the odds of her skipping the prayer session and all attendant hooferaw are pretty good.

*I don’t mean that they all got run over by Scarberian commuters or other LEAFS SUCKian bad drivers – just that they called it a week after prayer.

That said, yeah teh treatment those girls are getting is really fucking shitty. I dunno what a good fix is, but man it’s pretty serious bullshit.

Then she gets to do each and every one of these things, after she turns eighteen. Like the preachers’ daughters who go to college and discover sex, pot, booze and cursing.

This is a no-brainer; there’s nothing here that society doesn’t already address.

Also too, Thorncliffe Park has one of LEAFS SUCK’s best bowling alleys. And teh baklava you can get in that neighbourhood is un-fucking-believable.

That said, yeah teh treatment those girls are getting is really fucking shitty. I dunno what a good fix is, but man it’s pretty serious bullshit.

Agreed. But it certainly doesn’t warrant Steyn’s hysteria, considering that it sounds by your description to be a voluntary service that the school allows more than sponsors.

Then she gets to do each and every one of these things, after she turns eighteen. Like the preachers’ daughters who go to college and discover sex, pot, booze and cursing.

kinda what i was thinking…also, in the end, who makes the decision as to what the girls (muslim or not) wear and do at this school?

But it certainly doesn’t warrant Steyn’s hysteria.

also, was there a linky that i missed?

It’s the Potemera link.

It’s the Potemera link.

oh, holy crap…y’all weren’t kidding about teh muslim part! i was irritated by the whole breeding/monogamy argument and didn’t make it that far in…*clicks on link*…i’m going in!

How many columns has David Brooks written about the Kenneth Gladney trial? Zero. See? Liberal conspirator.

If they think Gladney has been victimized, why won’t they all chip and and hire a top-flight attorney for him? I don’t troll right-wing sites, but for those who do, suggesting a “Justice for Ken” fund might provided some LULZORZ.

,,,the school allows more than sponsors.

Well, yes and no. They are providing the space – but then again, our schools provide space for use by community groups of all types. The big difference is that the sessions occur during class time. It’s certainly more accomodating than they usually are. IMO, appropriate considering the numbers of students attending service. So while they are claiming to be totally hands-off, there is a sense of endorsement of the services. Which I would be totes okay with if it weren’t for teh segragation.

Does that include that film clip of Michelle Malkin as cheerleader?

Still video pimpin’!

segrAgation? Is that where the girls are separated when they’re riding the cotton pony?

sit menstruating women who are forbidden to participate

ha, ha…there are many american (and i daresay) canadian schoolgirls who regularly use their period as an excuse to a) get out of class b) not participate and/or publicly shower in gym class and c) get out of school for x amount of days…and as women, we can use the curse for an excuse for all sorts of things…

also, by looking at that picture, as ANY woman, i wouldn’t want to have my ass waving in the air when my aunt flo is visiting…i don’t care what steyn THINKS he knows about tampons, but uh-uh…that ain’t happening!

and of course, any one is allowed to say the lord’s prayer anyfrickingwhere they want…and they can pray to whoever they want…it’s just that you can’t force your prayer or beliefs on EVERYbody in a public/civic/state entity…why is that so damn hard to understand?!?!?!

How much do they have to worry about liability issues? Could they be at serious risk of lawsuit if they tried to enforce liberal secular values on the religious service? If the school is going to accomodate the service, by allowing the segregation is the school endorsing it or taking the path of least resistance?

teh treatment those girls are getting is really fucking shitty.

I think the treatment of gurlz and wimmins in general is fucking shitty. Way worse is some cultures and societies and countries, of course, but more-or-less shitty pretty much everywhere, and for thousands of years.

I blame algore and communisim.

598. Who will be the 600 Winnah?

golden nugget from yesterday’s pjm post:

I could go on but the main point here is that if everybody was conservative and lived by conservative values; there wouldn’t be any foster kids because conservatives take care of their kids.

i will make sure to pass this on to the conservative b-in-law who i referred to yesterday…one daughter is in and out of rehab for an eating disorder and the other one (who lives with his ex and could not possibly care less about her children) has been in treatment since the age of 14 for hardcore drugs, cutting, promiscuity and an eating disorder…i spose this could all be blamed on the mom who may or may not be conservative, but she is definitely a hard core christian, so there ya go…

600 Winnah?

that’d be me…

OK, copy pasta alert!

But: Could this be the source of political backlash? Looch hopes so!

(Reuters) – Minnesota’s government shutdown may force MillerCoors to halt distribution of its brands statewide within days as the economic toll from the political impasse deepened on Wednesday.

By Wednesday, hundreds of bars, restaurants and liquor stores across Minnesota already had been stopped from buying new inventory due to expired permits the state has not renewed.

MillerCoors, the second largest brewer in the United States, failed to get its license to sell 39 brands in Minnesota renewed before a government shutdown over a budget impasse began with the new fiscal year on July 1.

“Without that brand label registration, their distribution and sales aren’t allowed to continue,” Doug Neville, a state public safety department spokesman, said on Wednesday.

The registration allows the manufacturing, distribution or sales of the MillerCoors brands in the state, requiring them also to be pulled from liquor stores, bars and restaurants where they are sold, Neville said.

“We reached out to MillerCoors to talk to them about their brand label registration being expired and requested from them a plan to discontinue distribution and sales of their products in the state,” Neville said.

“We are hoping within a couple of days to have a clear idea what that looks like,” he added.

MillerCoors spokesman Julian Green said on Wednesday the company was working with the state to resolve the situation.

“With 39 brands at stake in one of our largest markets in the country during the most important selling period, in the summer, we do not take the business of ensuring proper state licenses lightly,” Green said.

Minnesota’s broad government shutdown reached nearly two weeks on Wednesday with no new talks scheduled between Democratic Governor Mark Dayton and Republican legislative leaders, who have asked for a temporary funding plan.

‘POLITICAL MESS’ SNAGS BAR OWNERS

The drag on Minnesota’s economy is expected to increase as the shutdown continues. It already is the longest shutdown in recent U.S. history and has prompted the furlough of more than 22,000 state workers, with a ripple effect on thousands of jobs in the private sector.

“A large percentage of our beer consumed in Minnesota comes from MillerCoors,” Frank Ball executive director of the Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association, said on Wednesday.

Ball said the association has asked a state judge to suspend the buyer’s card and brand label licensing requirements until the government comes back or at least allow the renewals to be processed. He is also lobbying state lawmakers.

HOT SUMMER.

NO BEER.

I repeat:

HOT SUMMER

NO BEER

Okay, so when I refresh the screen (heh, refreshing the screen), this quote pops up in the header:

“Men have been popping into my sexual fantasies.”

I initially read it as:

“Men have been pooping into my sexual fantasies.”

‘POLITICAL MESS’ SNAGS BAR OWNERS

also, because they cannot get their licenses renewed…in the metro area some bars have had to close because of this…we are lucky to be out in the boonies where we prolly wouldn’t be found out if we illegally served…unless some dickhead with a grudge turns us in…

before the state even shut down, one of my conservative friends loudly and repeatedly opined (and i’m not embellishing: he is by nature loud and repetitive) that a state shutdown would be ‘a pimple on the ass–no big deal!’ heh…wait until he can’t get a cold brewsky…

“Men have been pooping into my sexual fantasies.”

do you have a problem with that?

Minnesota’s government shutdown may force MillerCoors to halt distribution of its brands statewide within days as the economic toll from the political impasse deepened on Wednesday.

Teabaggers fucking up sales of Coors would be hilarious.

and now on the radio they are discussing how mn resorts will suffer economically because tourists cannot get fishing licenses…conservative friend chided me about my fear of this before the shut down…yep…a pimple on the ass…

“Men have been pooping into my sexual fantasies.”

All aboard the Cleveland Steamer!!

Look, during Prohibition, every block in Milwaukee had at least one guy brewing beer in his basement. It was said that rather than the brewing yeast smell concentrated in the areas of the breweries, it was everywhere in the city…. the home brewers got much of their equipment and supplies from the breweries, who became wholesalers of supplies.

All the cops did not bother busting anybody, because they were customers…

Yes, in studies, putting a black person in a position of power directly leads to homosexuals wanting power. It’s been proven in every study initiated and is cause for study and reflection, but only to come to the conclusion that only idiots believe it, otherwise it’s meaningless.
