HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Yeah, Andy McCarthy just got a face-full of the same stuff we pacifist types get every day.

I didn’t read his whole response to Yoo, but I’m torn. On the one hand, I do find the politics he’s expressing reprehensible and immoral.

On the other hand, McCarthy is attempting to actually make an argument while Yoo is literally just flinging shit.

And I mean that; I firmly believe he wrote his post by crapping all over his laptop.

Fucked plastic Kim Cattrall

Oh look, a picture of Vacuumslayer wearing glasses! She’ll like that.

Andy McCarthy is objectively pro-Qadaffi. What’s more, he claims Bush fils was also pro-Qadaffi.

I think a little waterboarding at Gitmo is in order to get to the bottom of this anti-American conspiracy.

Is it too early to go OT? Richard Dawkins has an awesome smackdown of Gov. Goodhair:

The population of the United States is more than 300 million and it includes some of the best and brightest that the human species has to offer, probably more so than any other country in the world. There is surely something wrong with a system for choosing a leader when, given a pool of such talent and a process that occupies more than a year and consumes billions of dollars, what rises to the top of the heap is George W Bush. Or when the likes of Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin can be mentioned as even remote possibilities.

Oh look, a picture of Vacuumslayer wearing glasses! She’ll like that.

re: Dawkins

Maybe it’s Elevatorgate that’s got me so skeptical on skeptical Dawkins, but I would not +1 that editorial. I don’t mean to be all concern-troll-y, but geez smug self-righteousness much? Yeah we all get that teh Republican slate is full of shockingly ignorant assholes – but one of teh reasons why they are so successful is because you keep calling their supporters dumbshit morans. The reason the “intellectual elitist” dig carries so much weight? Dawkins is soaking in it.

Anywho, on teh topic of talking shit about stuff you don’t know squiddly-doo about:

Name one.

and I believe we need a miracle but I also believe that there’s a God big enough to give us that miracle.

I wish to maintain my right to refer to the Republican slate as shocikingly ignorant assholes, and the Republican Base as dumbshit morans.

Listen, Shellie, I don’t think God needs YOUR help. Pretty presumptuous to think so, and a clear Sin of Pride.

Imma get a new boal of corn flakes. Someone’s pissed in this one.

“Boal”?

Take two.

Dawkins has got an important point. Teh Republicans are obv. placing value on ignorance. There’s a litmus test – you must deny basic scientific literacy in order to participate. And not on small things either.

It’s no longer a case of “you have to believe this slate of commonly accepted received wisdom” it’s now “you must refudiate these well documented, observed facts as part of a leftsist conspiracy to steal our guns.” There is a huge difference in simply not knowing something and wallowing in ignorance to teh point of hostility towards facts.

I don’t know what to do about it either.

Is she calling God fat?

Well, let’s just say that throne looks like it was made for several smaller gods.

“Boal”?

You pronounce things funneh when you’re in process of spitting out urine flavoured cereal. Uh,,, or so I’m told.

but geez smug self-righteousness much?

I’m really put off by his response to Elevatorgate, too, but I actually enjoy smug self-righteousness when people are actually, you know, right. I don’t mean to be all “annoy a conservative,” but…I know that sort thing really does rankle them and I CONFESS TO ENJOYING THAT.

Ok, now it would probably help if I actually read the damn thing, so I’m not talking COMPLETELY out of my ass.

So, vote for God?

God can’t lose. She’s got a great ground game and her get-out-the-vote efforts are awe-inspiring.

And philosophers could hit her with the tough questions in interviews, like “Why does evil exist?” and “Killed nearly the entire population of the whole goddamn world lately?”

So, I’m freaking out over hurricane Irene. Will this be another Katrina level disaster?

Well God, if that’s your real name, you started Mankind in the Garden of Eden and then kicked them out. You gave your only begotten son to Earth to save us from our sins and then had him killed on teh cross and then saved him by returning him to teh Heavenly Kingdom. You made pigs so incredibly tasty and then denied them to your Chosen People. So the question is, flip-flop much?

If being called proudly ignorant hateful racists bothers the right so much, perhaps they can try NOT BEING THAT.

Being polite to them just gives them a pass.

An earthquake and a hurricane striking one right after the other in the district represented by Eric Cantor, who has voted to cut funding for both USGS and NOAA, (and threatening an aging nuclear reactor–and guess who has voted to cut funding for the NRC?) is obviously a sign from Gawd that he is angry at the damn gays getting married in New York.

Listen, Shellie, I don’t think God needs YOUR help. Pretty presumptuous to think so, and a clear Sin of Pride.

In Russia, USA was born in God.

As appeasement, Cantor should marry Mitch McConnell.

The ad against God.

If being called proudly ignorant hateful racists bothers the right so much, perhaps they can try NOT BEING THAT.

Yeah. It’s important that behaviours extremely hazardous to society be flagged as such. We can’t rely on teh population as a whole being able to recognize delusional and self-destructive behaviours for what they are. Calling out things like racism or the fervent desire for evangelical theocracy in the name of “freedom of religion” is important. And since Dawkins is known for doing exactly this type of thing, it does no harm to the discussion for him to continue doing so. I’m still not giving the piece my +1, but I retract my criticism. Dawkins is Dawkins and expecting him to act like some sort of ambassador to teh talibangelical evolution-deniers is a stupid thing for me to have done.

Also too (and here at Snark Central of all places!?!?). Mockery has strength and can be used to affect opinions. I am ashamed and disappoint in myself for letting that slip from my mind.

In any other party and in any other country, an individual may occasionally rise to the top in spite of being an uneducated ignoramus. In today’s Republican Party ‘in spite of’ is not the phrase we need. Ignorance and lack of education are positive qualifications, bordering on obligatory. Intellect, knowledge and linguistic mastery are mistrusted by Republican voters, who, when choosing a president, would apparently prefer someone like themselves over someone actually qualified for the job.

Were it so simple as Perry/Bachmann/Bush being dumbasses.

No, people, this shit is all an act to snare morons. It’s becoming more and more prevalent because more and more people are feeling out of control and turning to superstitious silliness as some means of comforting the self. Plus, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but there’s a N***ER in the White House. It’s not that their racist, it’s just that they don’t trust black people because we all know they’re lazy….you know the rest.

The people who push the “proud to be dimwitted, ignorant, racist redneck idiot” line are anything but stupid. It’s simple evolution (ironic) of the Moral Majority bullshit from the Reagan era.

If being called proudly ignorant hateful racists bothers the right so much, perhaps they can try NOT BEING THAT.

Being polite to them just gives them a pass.

Calling them ignorant gives racists a pass as well. Racists are NOT ignorant. They’re racists because they’re bad people. Ignorance implies that they don’t know any better. It’s 2011, they fucking know better and choose to be what they are.

So, I’m freaking out over hurricane Irene. Will this be another Katrina level disaster?

Well, probably not a Katrina-level disaster because (a) Obama gives a shit about FEMA and (b) the combo of “extremely dense population,” “extremely low-lying area,” and “Category 5 storm approaching at the exactly right angle” were all pretty low-probability events with Katrina.

Having said that, I’m going to spend this weekend being happy that I don’t live in Coney Island

So, I’m freaking out over hurricane Irene. Will this be another Katrina level disaster?

In terms of lives lost? No.

In terms of property damage? Odds are about one in three it will be worse.

“Category 5 storm approaching at the exactly right angle”

Katrina herself did little damage. It was a combination of the storm surge and collapsible levees that created the catastrophe.

New York’s coastline is of a nature that, with the right angle of impact, even a Cat 1 storm could knock lower Manhattan off the map for months. That would make the economic impact of the storm immeasurable.

Fortunately, the storm seems to be tracking east, not west, of the city.

NOAA says it’s going right over the top of NYC.

And projects the hurricane force winds to smack right into the city. This is NOT good. For any of the East coast. Crossing our fingers for you…

tsam – I read it as “proudly ignorant, hateful, racist” , a series of discrete qualities where “ignorant” is not modifying “racist.”

If there really is a god and if he wants me to start believing in him, then this might be his chance. I figure the waterfont property where Irene is headed is extremely high end and there are a lot of multi-million dollar homes owned by banksters right in Irene’s path. So if all the banksters and thier ilk lose these expensive homes while at the same time there is little or no damage to lower and middle class neighborhoods I will consider it a miracle and an act of god and will be at church on Sunday.

Also this would mean that these banksters would have to spend some of that money they scammed from us and hire a bunch of the little people to rebuild.

tsam – I read it as “proudly ignorant, hateful, racist” , a series of discrete qualities where “ignorant” is not modifying “racist.”

I know–you’re right. That wasn’t meant to correct ZRM.

There is just a habit among many people to say that one of the root causes of racism is ignorance. I would argue that those days are long gone and that calling racists ignorant is going way too easy on them–especially when they have the fucking unmitigated nerve to call US intolerant because we don’t accept that sort of shit as an opinion worthy of respect.

Just nail Cantor to a cross in Virginia beach and I’ll be on my way.

From Weather Underground:

Irene’s eyewall collapses; further intensification unlikely.

Damned welfare recipients ought to be drug tested, they’re all losers and addicts and….WHAT?!?!?!?!?

Did I just make D-KW change his mind?

In my defense, I was wrnog. Also, if flip-flopping on an issue leads to free drinks then Imma change my mind moar often.

Finally, I’m glad it went down how it did, and not teh usual way you shamblers “change people’s minds”.

From Dr. Jeff Masters at Weather Underground:

Forecast and storm surge potential for Irene
With its eyewall collapsed and just 24 more hours over water before landfall, it is unlikely Irene will have time to build a new eyewall and intensify. … However, since Irene is such a huge storm–tropical storm force winds extend out up to 290 miles from the center–it has set a massive amount of the ocean’s surface in motion, which will cause a much larger storm surge than the winds would suggest. … This is equivalent to the storm surge a typical Category 4 hurricane would have. While this damage potential should gradually decline as Irene moves northwards and weakens, we can still expect a storm surge one full Saffir-Simpson Category higher than Irene’s winds. … Thus, storm surge damage rivaling that experienced during Hurricane Isabel in 2003 is likely in northern NC, southern Maryland, and up Chesapeake Bay on Saturday night. … Coastal New England from New York City to Massachusetts may also see storm surges characteristic of a Category 1 hurricane during Sunday morning’s high tide, even if Irene has weakened to a tropical storm. I continue to give a 20% chance that a storm surge high enough to over-top the Manhattan flood walls and swamp the New York City subway system will occur on Sunday.

OK, point taken.

But they also choose to be ignorant

That was an OT rant–not directed at you in any way–I apologize for being unclear–I didn’t think you were wrong about anything you said.

And projects the hurricane force winds to smack right into the city. This is NOT good. For any of the East coast. Crossing our fingers for you…

I’ll be drunk live blogging from the 13th floor. I just downloaded a seismograph app to MY PRECIOUS so I can get the building sway quantified.

The specific landfall for the eye is projected at West Babylon, which still puts the city proper on the western side of the storm.

The “safer” side, if there is one.

With the size and magnitude of that storm, I get the feeling that this is like saying “I’m fine, the car hit me and I flew off road instead of going through the windshield”.

Just scary to see that monster on the map.

Damned welfare recipients ought to be drug tested, they’re all losers and addicts and….WHAT?!?!?!?!?

Not that it makes any difference to Gov. Medicarefraud. Nearly all those tests are performed by a company he owns. Oh, right, he doesn’t own the company – his wife does, now that he transferred his interest to her.

McCarthy is just pissed that YET AGAIN a Democratic President actually achieved the goals set out for the military intervention and didn’t spend give Billions more dollars to the MIC.

Oh, right, he doesn’t own the company – his wife does, now that he transferred his interest to her.

Please oh lord, let her meet and fall in love with a beautiful and charming 23 year old Latino woman from Miami and divorce his skanky ass.

“I’m fine, the car hit me and I flew off road instead of going through the windshield”.

It’s just a flesh wound!

i think you forgot a few words in there like black, muslin, socialist, hitler and poopyhead

That is clearly implied in the term “Democrat.”

I’ll be drunk live blogging from the 13th floor.

Hm, I wonder if its too late to bum a ride in Bloomberg’s Citation to Bermuda…

His logic is impeccarable. Bush had to launch a full scale invasion of Iraq without a declaration of war because Saddam was about to launch a nuclear attack and was responsible for 9/11, according to Dick Cheney.

In Libya, on the other hand, there was no indication that Dick Cheney was going to any trouble to contrive a rationale for war. Moreover, European socialists stand to gain much of the oil from Libya.

The easiest way to piss off a bigot is to tell them you know how terrified they are and if they would just show a little more courage, the world would be a much more beautiful place and they wouldn’t have to keep wearing diapers any longer.

Sadly, many of them love wallowing in the shit, and the diaper is a feature.

McCarthy’s arguments about the wisdom of our interventions in the Middle East suffer from a fatal defect: they fail to account for the costs of failing to intervene. Implicit in his cost-benefit analysis is the assumption that, since we’ve gotten along with the Qadafis of the world ok so far, it’s going to continue to be ok. I think that’s a dubious assumption.

The world is shrinking. The crux of the problem is confluence of two trends: the growth of the nasty strain of Islam that creates populations that would literally rather kill Jews and Americans than preserve the lives of their own children, and the inexorable spread of nuclear technology. Allowing those ingredients to simmer will eventually produce a lethal stew.

No one is suggesting that we can in short order turn the entire Middle East into a carbon copy of the U.S. In fact, the test for whether intervention makes sense ought not even be whether we are assured of a positive outcome. Because the mixture of nuclear weapons with Islamo-terrorism is so ghastly and otherwise inevitable, the only relevant test is whether an alternative plan offers a greater likelihood of averting the genocidal war that we will find ourselves in the day a mushroom cloud grows out of New York or D.C.

From that perspective, my chief complaint with Obama’s Middle East policy is that it has been too meek by half. Popular uprisings are good because they represent an opportunity to alter a very bad status quo. But as McCarthy understands, it’s lunacy to simply stand by and hope that what comes next is the adoption of Western culture. Strong and affirmative steps to bring that about are required.

You’re uninformed, QBeamus. No Islamic nation, and far less a Middle Eastern/Arabic nation is going to “[adopt] Western culture”. The very idea is repugnant to most Muslims living in the Middle East. Don’t you get it? They hate us, our culture, our concept of liberty, our predominating religion and they want to either forceably convert us, subjugate us one way or another, or destroy us. Any so-called revolution in an Islamic nation, particularly in the Middle East, will result in similarly oppressive, or worse conditions. Every one of these nations will merely trade one form of oppression for another. It’s the way they want it, for now. Perhaps, in the far distant future, if there is one, these troglodytes will emerge from their mental caves and begin to actually enjoy sunlight. I wouldn’t count on that any time soon, though. I think, as Andy points out, everywhere a dictator falls in the Middle East, a repressive Islamic Republic is waiting in the wings to bring the people its Hellish version of Paradise.

Troglodytes, mental caves, black people, democratic plantations…Hmmm this guy is most certainly not a bigot.

“I think it’s a last chance election if you ask me,” Bachmann said. “So think about it very carefully. We need a miracle right now. I’m a praying woman, a believing woman, and I believe we need a miracle but I also believe that there’s a God big enough to give us that miracle.”

It’s amazing how many of these people (Palin did this too) are into praying for God to put them in the White House. They never mention praying to God for guidance, e.g, “Dear God, should I be in the White House?” etc, etc, etc. It’s all three-year-old “Santa, for Christmas, please give me a White House? Please please please please please?”

I hope the Fenwick is ok. Someone on a Ducati forum I read died this year and it was weeks before we got any confirmation that he passed on.

In other news, I think that ‘pulling a papa’ is a reference to the way Ernest “Papa” Hemmingway checked out.

We need a miracle right now

Not a miracle!

Calling them ignorant gives racists a pass as well. Racists are NOT ignorant. They’re racists because they’re bad people. Ignorance implies that they don’t know any better. It’s 2011, they fucking know better and choose to be what they are.

Tsam = good people.

Not a miracle!

Did you see how hubby only nommed a little off the top? Must be so totally in denial…

In Libya, on the other hand, there was no indication that Dick Cheney was going to any trouble to contrive a rationale for war. Moreover, European socialists stand to gain much of the oil from Libya.

Of course, European socialists were ALREADY getting tons of oil from Libya under Qaddafi. Which wasn’t the case of American capitalists with Saddam. But, central to the point…

I wish someone would photoshop in a hand behind Bachmann’s head in those pictures.

Tintin? You could do it!

Hemingway. Right. So like Cobain, but actually a suicide.

Yet, she’s never far from her Fleshlight.

Wait, I thought…

I really did not want to think about J-Lo’s penis.

Hemingway. Right. So like Cobain, but actually a suicide.

I haven’t heard any rumors that Cobain was murdered. Are there rumors to that effect?

NYC just ordered a mandatory evacuation order for Zone A.

I really did not want to think about J-Lo’s penis</i

K-Lo, I leave to anyone else

You think you’ve got it bad?

Oh shit!

Damnit!!

Ah, fuck it!

Not encountering a glans, he lost interest.

You gonna be okay, old chum?

Nice one from the Corndog Bachmann search.

K-Lo, I leave to anyone else

Crap!

There’s a whole damn movie, I think.

Indeed, some believe that El Duce was run over by a train to shut him up.

You gonna be okay, old chum?

I am unzoned. I paid good money for that.

No Islamic nation, and far less a Middle Eastern/Arabic nation is going to “adopt Western culture”.

You mean that Western Culture your dumbass knuckle-dragging ancestors had to re-learn from Teh Scary Arab Moozlimz because said Moozlimz at least had the good sense not burn all their libraries down and just hope Gawd would fix everything? That Western Culture?

History, how does it fucking work????!!????

If moron A is ranting at 30 stupidities per minute and moron B is spewing at 3 ignorances a second, how fast does the shit pile up?

I haven’t heard any rumors that Cobain was murdered. Are there rumors to that effect?

I hear that he was murdered by a cabal that wanted to place a half-Kenyan usurper in the White House.

Not that Western Culture, the Western Culture that used Phoenician letters as an inspiration for it’s primary mode of cultural transmission. That Western Culture.

It’s all relative to how long it takes them to fap themselves out.

I gots your fap right here, buddy!

I hear that he was murdered by a cabal that wanted to place a half-Kenyan usurper in the White House.

WHERE ARE HIS FILES!?!?! SOMEONE WARN TEH COMPTROLLER!!ones1

OMG! IT’S TOO LATE!!@ones!

Mr McCarthy bases his complaint against Obama on his failure to convince us sufficiently why we should be involved militarily in Libya. But, as I recall, Obama did explain via the national networks, what he considered our national interests and that we would participate without “boots on the ground”. Now you can argue that Obama went beyond the power even the unitary executive Woo (and Cheney) claim belong to the President, but at least Obama didn’t come to us with a steamer trunk full of bullshit to make his case. I guess Mr McCarthy is saying that if the President is going to get the country involved in any circumspect intervention, he is obligated to mount a full scale media assault, 24/7, to convince every last citizen that this mobilization is absolutely necessary, even and especially if he knows it to be a lie.
Here:

“The more doubt there is about whether there are vital interests that justify the use of force, the more important it is for the president to make the case for using force — to state our interests, outline our objectives, identify whom we will be fighting and whom we will be helping, and explain why the venture is worth sacrificing American blood and treasure. When a president is unwilling to do this, as President Obama was in the case of Libya, it strongly suggests that there is no American interest worth going to war over.”

and explain why the venture is worth sacrificing American blood and treasure.

Well, pictures of choo choo trains and weapons lab stories stolen from James Bond movies would have worked.

Also, why does Obama hate America so much that he won’t question the patriotism of those who aren’t jacking off to his sand n****er war pr0n?

SARAH BERKLEY – Author of “The Jihad at the Ballot Box” – a book examining Obama’s relationship with radical Islam. Died in a mysterious car crash in 2003.

Died in 2003… why would she think it so important to write a book about a guy largely unknown outside of Chicago? I love how the e-mail is forwarded unquestioningly, but nobody thinks to verify whether or not this book exists.

This is my favorite bit, it’s so abysmally over the top in its ignorance:

DARSANO RAHARDJO – Childhood classmate of Barack Obama when he attended a madrassa in Indonesia. Was found with his head cut off in a Jakarta alley way in 1970. Many children at the school attributed Rahardjo’s murder to the young Barack Obama. It was likely done as an initiation ritual, since Islam demands that a boy spill another’s blood before the age of ten to prove their loyalty to Allah.

You know, there were votes in the House regarding Libya. Teh GOP rejected both a congressional authorization for military action as well as a measure to defund the action. Which means that,,, uh,,, I dunno.

Andy should really find a second day job.

When a president is unwilling to do this, as President Obama was in the case of Libya, it strongly suggests that there is no American interest worth going to war over.”

Only to a shithumping little weasel like you, Andy.

Which is worse? “Fuck you if you don’t like it, it’s a done deal, American interests™ and such” or “if we don’t go over there and depose this guy who was totally responsible for 9/11, then 9/11 will happen again, like in a week or so”.

I’ll regurgitate, you decide. Personally, I’m slightly more angry about being lied to and really angry at all the jackwagons that bought Bush’s bullshit. But whatever.

you forgot option c: pie

This is still a free country. The American people will not be told what to do!

Makes you wonder if Obama’s speechifyin to git to high ground wasn’t just trolling to make sure the Repub base stays put and gets wiped out. ELEVENTY DIMENSIONAL CHESS!!!!!!

let her meet and fall in love with a beautiful and charming 23 year old Latino woman from Miami and divorce his skanky ass.

Teevee comedy pilot?

I never forget pie.

See that just it. When there is an actual danger, ‘the Repub base’ demonstrates it is quite capable of understanding scientists and does the intelligent thing. Has Perry come out and called the pictures of the Hurricane “manipulated”?

Funny how that works…

Teevee comedy pilot?

That transparent am I?

There’s a litmus test – you must deny basic scientific literacy

“Do you believe this litmus paper changes its colour with the pH of the solution because of chemistry or because goddidit?”

“I continue to give a 20% chance that a storm surge high enough to over-top the Manhattan flood walls and swamp the New York City subway system will occur on Sunday.”

Why am I more concerned about Charm City? Is it because Isabel’s storm surge–mounting ever higher as it funneled up the Chesapeake Bay–flooded 52 blocks of Baltimore in 2003?

I never forget pie.

Yeah, the face rings a bell, but…

Oh! It’s you!

Funny how that works…

Mmmph. Hope springs eternal.

It was likely done as an initiation ritual, since Islam demands that a boy spill another’s blood before the age of ten to prove their loyalty to Allah.

And here I thought circumcision was brutal…

” When a president is unwilling to do this, as President Obama was in the case of Libya, it strongly suggests that there is no American interest worth going to war over.”

“When a president is unwilling to lie his ass off, as President Bush did in the case of Iraq, it strongly suggests that there is no American interest worth going to war over.”

Also, our side changed the nature of the “war rationale”, and yes, it is forever changing and expanding, but if you’re not going to follow our model of media blitzkreig, then we can’t support you because it makes us look bad, it makes our lies look like they weren’t the truth.

“Do you believe this litmus paper changes its colour with the pH of the solution because of chemistry or because goddidit?”

Don’t answer that–it’s a gotcha question!

“Do you believe this litmus paper changes its colour with the pH of the solution because of chemistry or because goddidit?”

Litmus paper will only change when it admits it has a problem and WANTS to change.

An aero-engineer is struck dumb with admiration for the bird as flying machine:

Name one.

My brother is an aero-engineer, and he’s never talked about birds to me. What he really admires and thinks we should have more of is ……. blimps. Yes, blimps.

The rich people with houses near the sea all tend to have cheap, government subsidized insurance. No complaints about “big gov” when it rebuilds your 20-bedroom mansion.

What he really admires and thinks we should have more of is ……. blimps. Yes, blimps.

uh, i think we’re already there…

Everything is better with airships. This is well known.

Perhaps he’s in shock like the rest of Orioles fans?

NYC just ordered a mandatory evacuation order for Zone A

Is that as large as the evacuation of Annapolis?

Do Saddam’s Winnebagos-of-Death count?

Also too, Obama has failed to wipe out Ahmedinijad’s mighty flotilla of Nuclear Sarin Anthrax Evinrude™s – NEVAR FORGET.

American interests? If you’re a neocon, isn’t that supposed to be Israel’s interests?
