We can show them our disgust with the media the day after we take our country back from the liberal, socialists that lied to get elected. They told us to “go to hell”. So, let’s show them the way. Hell is standing in line for food, while the elected servants are eating caviar & $16.00 muffiins. Hell is doing without necessities, while they spend us into oblivian.

The day after Perry is elected (AS IF) this would all go away and the right of the GOP leaders to their just due rewards will be enshrined as the natural divine right of kings.

You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear: you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did.

Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea? God bless. Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”

what does it matter to starving foodline guy what they spend? living off the government teat is socialism, isn’t it?

I hear Oblivian is nice this time of year. The water’s good, too.

they’re already talking about doing away with public roads, and think the fire department shouldn’t save your house if you don’t pay them a fee.

okay, this has already been discussed in my neck of the woods…we have a bunch of tiny towns (pops. of 132 and under) whose post offices may have to close. someone is already floating the idea of ‘private’ post offices where someone would own it and provide the very basic of services…down south where my mom used to live in an un-incorporated town in alabama, they used the paying a fee for fire and ambulance service model…of course as more people retire to this location, that ain’t gonna work…i can just see a massive clusterhump if any of this comes to pass…yesterday, twin cities radio host was opining that the whole liberal agenda hinges on things being ‘new’…the old ways work, so why mess with them? i believe that means the rich are getting richer off the way we are doing things so fucky you get your own…

Elizabeth Warren is my new hero.

She’s basically quoting Buffett.

No “Ahems” Pup

Elizabeth Warren is my new hero.

That quote, captioning a picture of her, is my Facebook status.

Hmm, this sounds like it has good mangos. One sec, splash, splash, splash, wait, this isn’t water, okay, don’t think about it, don’t think about it, now what do we have here?

For most Americans, the 2012 presidential campaign will be experienced on television, and voters will evaluate the candidates based on their performances at televised debates, daily news coverage, and in long-form interviews.

This is why America is fucked at the moment. Experiencing reality through a television screen and being exposed to our bought and sold failed media experiment. I won’t bother with the statistics that show that people are less informed by watching these shows, especially the Fox News ones.

He then decides to limit his comparison to network morning shows for some reason. Supposedly because of the interviews. Which of course also conveniently ignores the fact that the interviewees are always overwhelmingly Republican and also conveniently cuts out cable shows where Fox always brags about being number one. Also, love the ad selling a get-rich-quick scheme based on stealing money through the stock market through the whole investment tricks the big investment companies have invented. It’s labeled “get rich through Obama’s mistake”. So yes, they openly blame Obama for not stopping them. Self awareness, what is that?

As might be expected, most of the more than 400 questions posed to the Republican candidates this year had to do with early campaign strategy and tactics and basic biographical details. But our analysts counted 98 “ideological questions” — policy-based questions that incorporated either a liberal or conservative premise.

Uh huh. Do we ever see an example of these rigorous “methods”? Ha ha ha ha, oh, my you are a naive one, aren’t you? Also, not mentioned is the overwhelming number of conservative analysists called on as guests to analyze the “optics” of every issue and why its good for Republicans, nor the fact that Democrats aren’t asked “ideological questions” because they are only allowed on these shows if they are spouting Republican talking points.

Of those, the vast majority (81, or 83%) reflected a liberal policy agenda, vs. just 17 (17%) that highlighted the concerns of conservative voters. Thus, instead of functioning as a surrogate for the Republican rank-and-file voter who probably won’t get a chance to question a candidate, TV journalists used their time with the candidates to push a standard liberal agenda.

Snrk. That is all.

Actually, also, let’s circle and highlight the desperate request by the Republican base to be told directly who to vote for. Actually parsing their ability to defend their ideology from the meekest of softball questioning and who most thoroughly makes themselves look like a monster/harsh daddy ready to punish them for their sins is just to hard (oh my) now a days. The Authoritarian transformation is complete and now they just want to be told who to vote for and they’ll rationalize later.

What are some of the examples of liberal questioning?

“Won’t tax cuts increase the deficit?” Stephanopoulos wondered.

Oh hey, someone woke up from gobbling Reagan cock for the last 30 years and has noticed that the whole deficit question kinda has two aspects: money received in the form of taxation and money spent in spending and since every “spending cut bill” that conservatives have put out has been a fucking joke in terms of how they want to “balance the budget” usually involving entirely fictional savings they want to give away immediately in a lowered tax burden on the rich.

So apparently liberal questioning means ocassionally our trained hacks stir for a couple of seconds and actually point out basic economics. Apparently this is unforgivable because the current crop of wingnut candidates is unused to any pushback whatsoever and expected nothing short of continual blowjobs.

Hey, they’re focusing on your debt ceiling bullshit, aren’t they? As if that was more important than jobs, a functional health care system, or the number of people starving to death in poverty or the way our numbers game on the unemployed means there is a phantom homeless population out there who are barely surviving by bouncing from couch to couch or sleeping in cars parked in a friend’s driveway.

Hill (June 3) also badgered Mitt Romney for his opposition to Obama’s huge bailout of General Motors and Chrysler in 2009: “You also accuse the President yesterday of making the recession worse. But based on what we’ve seen in the auto industry, weren’t you wrong in this case? Wasn’t it right for both the auto industry and for the American economy to help that industry?”

As was noted before, he is complaining that facts have a liberal bias.

Also it is apparently completely unfair to bring up the past to a conservative candidate this year. No one is allowed to look at what they’ve said or done or supported or tried to fight against in order to understand how they’d run the country. Instead we are supposed to just think “9/11 freedom Jesus America” and pull the R tab…well, have the R tab pulled for us by the huge increase in open and unashamed vote stealing now that the Republicans have realized they can get away with it and feel they have nothing to lose. And of course the “thinking liberals” will blame the “left” because they must not have showed up to vote, even if numbers show its the more moderate liberal voters who stayed home.

But yeah, notice also the example of a conservative question:

On May 20, Stephanopoulos also took aim at Huntsman’s decision to take Obama’s stimulus funds back in 2009. “When you were asked about it, you suggested that one of the problems with the stimulus is that it wasn’t big enough. Is that what you still believe?” Huntsman responded that his choice would have been for a package with larger tax cuts.

Uh huh.

Overall, though, the real flaw is the examples. They are trying to argue “liberal bias” but anyone who isn’t desperately spinning their confirmation bias anyways and would have been just fine with a few dog whistles about the jewish…i mean liberal media, can see that the questions revolve around a wholesale accepting of conservative ideology. All the questions about the debt ceiling for instance instead of pointing out that its a bullshit distraction or otherwise trying to work with Republican talking points and allowing the candidate look like a better wingnut. So yeah, it really is “facts have a liberal bias” combined with incredibly lowered expectations because I don’t see a single liberal ideology mentioned in any of those questioned. No, “since the allowance of gay marriage in your state, we’ve seen none of the things conservatives have argued would happen with legal same sex marriages, why do you think that is” or “the debt ceiling debate is a farce, why do you care more about them and tax cuts for the wealthy while millions continue to suffer in unemployment and poverty?” or “we noticed that the Republican caucus has prevented any positive thing for this country in the hopes of aiding your 2012 chances, why are you such unamerican fucknozzles?”

Sigh, I guess, not really worth soaking myself in god knows what for these. It just serves as a reminder why they need to avoid facts in everything and just use dog whistle, innuendo, and so on, because when they don’t, their arguments look exactly as dumb as they are.

Because facts have a liberal bias. Now, I’m off to soak myself in turpentine and bleach.

When you ask questions that means you don’t have answers = Librul

BWAHAHAHAHAHA Just as it looks like the GØP Buffett tax form birthers are just starting to get something going, BAM! BWAHAHAHAHA Looooooooosers!

And is it just me or has there been this real increase in pushback on the idea that we are allowed to even really interact with our God King conservative leaders in anyway.

I mean, there’s been all the pushback on how remembering direct statements by candidates in recent history was the peak of liberal bigotry and hate and something that everyone should be really ashamed of. Then the pushback against noticing the current statements and actions of candidates and their followers which was also deemed gauche and off-limits. And now the cry that asking candidates questions on their ability to defend conservative ideology and promote conservative talking points while the media pushes a conservative meme as hard as they can is even off-limits.

Add that to things like the Koch Brothers just up and buying Wisconsin to use as their toilet bowl and openly having their operatives steal elections for their chosen hacks and Rick Perry arguing that we should go back to having States elect Senators and it seems the wingnuts are going all in on creating a literal Feudal state rather than the de facto one we have now.

I will further note that there is probably no bottom on this. They pushed back to go back to the 50s, then they pushed for the 1850s and when they won some victories there, they pushed back for the 1350s. If given the chance I fully expect they would push for the time that mankind crawls back into the origin of its speciation and disappears.

And is it just me or has there been this real increase in pushback on the idea that we are allowed to even really interact with our God King conservative leaders in anyway.

Welcome to being a liberal where almost always our heroes will eventually disappoint us. Luckily it helps that we’re much better at acknowledging flaws in our heroes and respecting certain elements while criticizing others than our conservative counterpoints.

Sadly, that rarely seems to help with the initial bout of disappointment. Stupid Richard Dawkins and his stupid comments about Elevatorgate.

Yeah, I really thought Dawkins was one of the good guys before that. I mean, he had said some pretty questionable and problematic things, but I genuinely thought his heart was in the right place. His statements revealed a certain callousness and lack of self-reflection that has really put a black mark on him in my eyes.

Alternate shorter: “Did you know that newspeople can’t be forced to literally bow down before Rick Perry and proclaim him god-king? Fuckin’ liberal-controlled media, amirite?”

Oh, I chuckled.

Tee hee.

Tarazi had argued that New York-based blogger Pamela Geller defamed him by alleging he has terrorist ties. One posting linked him to Hamas, for example, which the State Department has designated a foreign terrorist organization.

That blog and four others will be removed permanently from Geller’s “Atlas Shrugs” blog under the settlement, which did not involve any money.

Both sides claimed victory. Tarazi said Geller caved in by agreeing to drop the posts. He said the lawsuit was never about money but was about standing up for himself.

Geller said in a statement that Tarazi “blinked and folded,” and called the settlement a First Amendment victory.

She had argued in court documents that many of the postings singled out in the lawsuit also could fall in the realm of hyperbole and not defamation.

Wait a sec., who “blinked & folded?”

I know this was said upthread in various permutations, but I just have to blather on about what I immediately noticed about this hard-hitting piece:

1.) Apparently Fox is not considered a news organization and
2.) Questions about taxes are liberal

Huh.

Weak sauce- his definition of a “liberal” question is “Why aren’t tax increases on the table?”

Silly Rumbold, anything asked of a Republican in any language other than slurps is liberal bias.

I wish this were a text generator where you could put in your own text, because it would be so funny to run some NewsBuster stuff through there.

Cerberus–let me just say I enjoy your long rants immensely, and I’m glad you post here so prolifically. I Checked out your blog and noodled around a bit and it is as I expected, more of the same, only even longer, snarkier and more thought out. I just wish you would post there more than the 1 or 2 a month you seem to generate. Better yet, maybe you could work out a deal with the overlords of the SadlyRanch to take you on in place or HTML or Gavin, or someone whose postings here have been a bit anemic of late…

I can sort of see the point of only doing the broadcast networks, as they still have a tremendous audience size advantage over the cable news networks, but really I’m not labouring under the impression that a sincere methodological or statistical concern is why they did that.

They can’t include cable news because aside from Fox, MSNBC has 3 hours run by a certain class of 1994 former Republican congressman, who festoons the show with right wing hacks, yet strangely is never mentioned by those who equate MSNBC as the liberal version of Fox.

Steerpike-

Ah thanks.

I’d be down if they were.

And yeah, I know, I need to post more on my blog. I’ve got some side projects in the work that should be adding more content to my site soon, but they aren’t necessarily politics focused.

Does Maureen Dowd need to get laid or is she hooked on Oxy’s?

I mean, seriously. Every paragraph has little cringe inducing word choices and creepy imagery.

And, on Tuesday in New York, as the airwaves thrummed with talk about whether President Obama provoked a “women” problem by letting the West Wing become too much of a frat house, Clinton showed how easy it is to get a roomful of women purring.

It sounds to me like Ms Dowd is hoping for the President to shove an enormous stimulus package down the nation’s throat.

And watching Andy Breitbart is liking watching Frank Booth.

No, that’s not right. Andy talks tough but he’d shit his Dockers if he ever encountered Frank.

A Facebook friend assured me about a month ago that Maureen Dowd is a liberal and that her scribblings were to be taken seriously (this was around the time of her “rah rah dead Bin Laden” column). Said that I didn’t understand that she was “a tough cookie” like “Tina Fey” and that she held Democrats to “a higher standard” blah blah blah.

Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It sounds to me like Ms Dowd is hoping for the President to shove an enormous stimulus package down the nation’s throat.

More sounds like she wants an executive threeway with Secretary Clinton and the President.

It is simply amazing how many of our media class seem to have deep and abiding sexual issues that form the summation of their political philosophies.

For the men it is always about having a strong leather daddy tell them they are worthless while degrading them and making them lick their boots and for the few women the media seems to let in, well, we get the weird shit like this.

Probably why Rachel Maddow is the best news anchor out there. She’s getting what she wants regularly and so doesn’t have to sublimate her urges before a national audience.

I totally agree. I only abhor violence against innocents. Andy does need his fucking bigass teeth kicked down his fucking pukehole. So does every other scheming fucking liar that manipulates stupid people into acting against their own interests. We used to call that fascism.

As the bass player I’m usually the one that is called on to deliver punches to the face. Wasn’t always that way, I once played in a band with a vegan poet bass player. Face punching duties were shared between me and the drummer. One of the bands I play with now has a banjo playing face puncher.

That last thread that mentioned ‘things you only see by doing enough gigs’ has had me thinking.

In this kooky new world, only liberals are fascists now.

As the bass player I’m usually the one that is called on to deliver punches to the face.

I was the self-appointed face puncher, but never had to actually pull the trigger, thankfully. Or sadly, depending on one’s perspective.

Our bass player would probably have found some poor female bystander to punch instead. He wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed if ya know what I mean.

There’s a French equivalent too that loosely translates to “a face for slapping.” (Tête à claques).

“Backpfeifengesicht” is the word Major Kong seeks. Though its use is limited to English; the only example I can find of it actually being used in German is in a song by Die Ärzte.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it entered colloquial German as a borrowing from English.

There’s a French equivalent too

4. “Verdammt,” and its variations and enlargements, are words which have plenty of meaning, but the sounds are so mild and ineffectual that German ladies can use them without sin. German ladies who could not be induced to commit a sin by any persuasion or compulsion, promptly rip out one of these harmless little words when they tear their dresses or don’t like the soup. It sounds about as wicked as our “My gracious.” German ladies are constantly saying, “Ach! Gott!” “Mein Gott!” “Gott in Himmel!” “Herr Gott” “Der Herr Jesus!” etc. They think our ladies have the same custom, perhaps; for I once heard a gentle and lovely old German lady say to a sweet young American girl: “The two languages are so alike — how pleasant that is; we say `Ach! Gott!’ you say `Goddamn.'”

I knew a guy many yrs. ago who claimed to have ordered a large tank from a surgical supply house, but that was a more innocent time.

Is no one watching the droolers “debate?”

Yah, The Ho insisted on watching the wankfest. Crazyland. I kept hearing “let him die!”

HOLY SHIT!!!!.

It is simply amazing how many of our media class seem to have deep and abiding sexual issues that form the summation of their political philosophies.

Well, the thing with the media in that regard is like you’re being set up for blind dates constantly by people with really ruthlessly specific tastes. And you keep on trying to tell them you don’t find big, strong Texan daddies with a mean and dumb streak attractive, but thery don’t listen. It’s a clever joke, or you’re being weird, and then by the time things cool off they’re sending you more of their rejects and you can’t bring it up again. And you finally work up the courage and tell them to knock that shit off, and then they tell you how blind they’ve been and agree to the error of their ways, and next thing you know they’re screaming at you, literally screaming in literal fury, that you turned down that Yale boy who only pretends to be a Texan peckerwood, and then they’re on the phone to the nice environmentalist’s weird controlling Jewish mother and the next thing you know you’ve killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

Wow, that one kind of got out of hand, didn’t it?

Seriously, folks—don’t breathe automotive-grade nitrous. In addition to being less than pure to begin with, they deliberately add sulfur dioxide to it to prevent recreational use.

Well, it has performance effects, but they do in fact do that. Food nitrous chargers are great, though.

The trick to get more out of them than just sucking in unbreathable air is finding just the right amount of air to leave in the balloon/bag/whatever. I’m stuck with a horrible worthless little plastic thing, so I’m pretty much obligated to use garbage bags – not the end of the world, though.

I wonder if c itself isn’t subtly changing … or if this might be the conctrete proof of dark matter/dark energy everyone’s been looking for.

Also: if the neutrinos are going X nanoseconds faster than c, wouldn’t they show up on their detectors BEFORE they were emitted?

The Houston Astros are the Absolutely Suckiest team in baseball (currently .342). The Astros lost their 100th game last Saturday.

More proof that socialism roolz!

Little love for my Mariners, please. They just hit 90 losses.

Wow, that one kind of got out of hand, didn’t it?

THAT. WAS. AWESOME.

Little love for my Mariners, please. They just hit 90 losses.

Sympathy. Been there.

Inexplicably, it looks like the Brewers are headed for the post-season.

Little love for my Mariners, please. They just hit 90 losses.

fricking twins finally won today!!!

We always called the nitrius shots “whipits”, cuz they charged the whipped cream cans. Bet they have to account for every one at S’bucks. Whipit! Whipit good!

nitrous. brain damage.

OK so. I watched the debate and then I stupidly went to both FDL and Balloon Juice looking for I dunno: serious political discussion??. Somebody say something nice to me. Otherwise I am moving to Ireland. Wanna come?

You’re going to want to see if the public furor at the impotence of the Fine Gael government breaks for Labour or for a new and improved Fianna Fail, surely, and even then you’re going to have to learn to use ‘fuck’ as your main word.

Better to go with the sea. She is a harsh mistress, but fair.

“whipits”

I have always heard ‘whippets’, on account of it is hilarious to get a dog high.

Somebody say something nice to me. Otherwise I am moving to Ireland.

Hi there! Pleased to meet you!

Wanna come?

Sorry, Pittsburgh is calling me.

Oh hi again, Helen!

Honestly, good luck on the move to Ireland if you’re serious with that. Sorry to say I’ve never been there myself (England’s as close as I got), but it’s on the list of places to go.

OK so. I watched the debate and then I stupidly went to both FDL and Balloon Juice looking for I dunno: serious political discussion??. Somebody say something nice to me.

You’re a better person than I am. Or more masochistic, in which case I hope that’s what you like. If not, you deserve a drink.

I have spent the night messing around with preliminary survey information, drinking Cuba Zombres, , and listening to Bloodshot Records “The Executioner’s Last Songs” records that benefit the National Coalition Against The Death Penalty, for obvious reasons. The records are more awesome than should be allowed (Neko Case, Jon Langford, Steve earle, Dave Alvin, Mark eitzel, Otis Clay, Rhett Miller, The Sundowners, Sally Timms doing “Gary Gilmore’s Eyes”, too many more to mention) and y’all should go right out to the Bloodshot site and buy them-they cheap!- because we apparently need to keep fighting state-murder.

Sorry, Pittsburgh is calling me.

Good FSM, how fucked up IS your karma?

serious political discussion

also…I hope you didn’t come here looking for that. I mean, there is SOME, but mixed in with alarmingly high level of POOP, PENIS, and motherfucking.

And the occasional drunk zombie.

Good FSM, how fucked up IS your karma?

Don’t ask. Just don’t even ask.

Hi Alec – I know that. I am stupidly thinking I do not care what goes on there. For the first 6 months that may be the case. And then I will hate those politicians too (by the by – I can do Britian too, Mom was born in Belfast, but we (really they (not me) are Catholic) so I have a choice.

Hey Chris Hi to you again too. When you get to Ireland on your list please come visit. It is as green as the pictures.

Could be worse. Could be Kansas City, Missouri.

Oh Alec – My main word now is FUCK. I actually got fired for saying it. By a new guy from Ohio. I shit you not.

Doh!

I PENISed in the wrong thread.

Oh Alec – My main word now is FUCK. I actually got fired for saying it. By a new guy from Ohio. I shit you not.

Golf claps, Helen. Golf claps.

If more corporate weasels had people yelling FUCK at them, perhaps they might re-consider their trending toward oligarchy.

I PENISed in the wrong thread.

You can catch a Social Disease that way, Hogeye.

Oh Alec – My main word now is FUCK. I actually got fired for saying it. By a new guy from Ohio. I shit you not.

True story: my parents were there for a conference my dad was at a year or two back, and I asked them if what I had heard about the Irish and the F-word was true. They insisted they hadn’t heard it at all.

When they got back, they told me that no sooner had I called than they actually made it out through the accent, after which they noticed it everywhere.

And why not? I’m not saying I’m Ezekiel, but what I have to say about this world doesn’t quite add up to ‘for she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses’, either.

Hey Zombie – drunk? Check. And the death penalty? OMG could I tell you stories. Real life honest to the goddess stories. Got a minute?

I got nothing but time, too much in this wonderful New Economy, Helen, and it is Sadly-Late Night.

Will I need to freshen my drink, though?

Also, among the Sadlyscenti, I am usually known as ZRM. Easier on the typing.

You can catch a Social Disease that way, Hogeye.

I’d really be in a pickle then, wouldn’t I.

Refresh your drink. I just did

I like you, Helen. I can tell already. You enable me.

And you, I. I may be in like (once again) Here is my absolutely true, horrible, please save him story.

Helen, I live in Milwaukee, home of Jeffrey Dahmer. I remember coming home from work, to my wife telling me that there was a serial killer…

But Wisconsin doesn’t have the death penalty; I am of the (admittedly poorly-founded) opinion that the sentencing was intended as a de-facto death penalty.

I’d really be in a pickle then, wouldn’t I.

you would be kind of small if you were in a pickle.

Unless it’s some weird sexual thing, in which case, eww. And send pictures.

Are you joking? Please stop it. I have been on the fence about the Death penalty. Not really thinking about it. If America wants it fine. And then my nephew, my godchild, (not that I am Catholic – I am an atheist, but don’t tell him) Alexander Charles Ernandes, who I Ioved with all my heart, age 19, was murdered (just 8 months ago) by his “friend.” Gunned down in a stupid Stupid dispute (do not get me started on guns). So you would think: “Well NOW she’ll be for it” But ya know what? NOPE. I have had enough young death in my life to know that here is no closure. STOP THE KILLING!!

Helen, I don’t mean to be too light. I am ardently anti-death penalty. I don’t find it fine that most of my countrymen seem to feel revenge-killing by the State is fine. And these are quite often people also screaming opposition to Big Government and Fascism.

I am not on the fence about the death penalty.

Killing another young person will not bring the first young person back.

Barbarism begets barbarism.

Helen; I just googled that name.

I weep at the pictures.

No, killing another kid is not going to solve anything.

I don’t think Dahmer should have been killed. He also shouldn’t have been relegated to a prison where his murder by other inmates was nearly a given, and the inmates responsible were not punished.

Condolences, Helen. Good thoughts.

Good music. I am now hearing Ray Davies and Mumford and Sons doing “Days”. Which seems appropriate.

The main European progenitor we have a name for on one side, von Gosic or whatever – family legend holds he was some kind of Prussian aristo or something, but I kind of suspect he was a Duchy of Warsaw kraut with delusions of grandeur – ostensibly was offered a commission in Nicholas I’s army, refused, then had to run to America when they killed his family.

Granted, he might have been a Napoleonic officer or something who just didn’t want to work for the Tsar, but more likely he was a jumped-up draft dodger. The whole thing where they killed everyone he knew that they could lay hands on – now that’s probably true.

And that’s what I think about the death penalty.

a jumped-up draft dodger

so you come from good rabble-rouser lineage.

A zombie who is anti-death penalty.

heh.

Alex? yeah. I told you his name because I thought you would think I was lying. Google his Aunt. That would be me.

And I am sure you know this but see Nick Broomfiled’s doc about Aileen Worenous. That woman was crazy. But no one cared. That’s when I thought, HUH?

Little love for my Mariners, please. They just hit 90 losses.

And the Mariners are tied with the Oreos at .423 after Thursday’s games! Here are the current standings in the World Sewers:

.423 Baltimore*
.423 Seattle
.387 Minnesota
.346 Houston

*Baltimore would be #1 seed, due a 4-2 head-to-head record against Seattle.

YAY Baseball, Fenwick. And you are talkin to a Mets fan.

Alex? yeah. I told you his name because I thought you would think I was lying.

Gosh, you have a low opinion of zombies.

just kidding. I had to close the window of the article, cus it was so disheartening. Kids. Guns. Not a good mix.

Actually, I kind of think humans and guns are not a good mix.

Aileen Wuornos, of course I know. GWB mocking her. Texas being the shitstain on this country, yet again.

YAY Baseball, Fenwick. And you are talkin to a Mets fan.

How do you feel about the Brewers?

Don’t spare me.

No clue about the Brewers. They are AMERICAN league. Ewe, get that stench off of me.

Doesn’t have much to do with the death penalty, but somewhat to do with young people dying. I am drunk enough to put this out there.

My wife’s sister was not able to conceive for some time; she and her husband adopted an infant, Mike. He was awesome in so many ways. As aunt and uncle, we loved him so much. he was so smart.

And because the lived in a very small community, he had no chance to actually use those brains. we offered, more than once, to let him spend summers with us in Milwaukee, going to college outreach programs, but it never happened.

And he ended up dulling that intellect, because in that environment, smart kids were ostracized. And so he ended up going to a tech school, rather than a college; washing out of that; going through a series of crappy mcJobs and brushes with Law, debt and jail; and finally giving his mother an envelope, and then walking into the backyard and blowing his brains out.

When he was 22.

It wasn’t a death penalty, but it might as well have been.

I lurves da baseball!

I’m also sorry about your loss. The death penalty is one of the issues I’ve ever so slowly changed my views on over the course of my life. It was like turning around an ocean liner, very slow, but I now oppose the death penalty completely.

I am, however, for unusual punishment. Not cruel punishment. Unusual punishment. Don’t ask me to esplane, ’cause I’m about to pop in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which I’ve never seen.

————

Remember who the Miracle Mets beat? It was a sad, sad day in Clam City…

No clue about the Brewers. They are AMERICAN league. Ewe, get that stench off of me.

Well, they used to be. Then idiot MLB let them go to the NL, so that now there are 14 AL teams and 16 NL teams. WTF?

Really liked the Brewers in the AL: Cecil Cooper at 1B … Gantner at 2B … Yount at SS … and Molitor at 3B. One of the best freakin’ infields of my lifetime. Man, could that infield throw leather.

Okay, off for my movie.

No clue about the Brewers. They are AMERICAN league. Ewe, get that stench off of me.

I have POLITICAL reasons to hate the Brewers, but more specifically, Selig. I have been struggling with that stench ever since they built that stupid folding roof monstrosity at 500 million on the public dime, a year after $100 million to be spent n public schools JUST TO MAKE THE AGING BUILDINGS USABLE was voted down.

He pilfered from the team to make himself and his daughter richer. And gave not one fuck about the team’s actual performance.

Not a coincidence that since he has moved on, the management has taken a damaged system and consistently brought it up.

Fuck Bud Selig. With ALL of Dragon-King’s mom’s strap-ons, including the ones with electrical probes.

oof. That thing about my nephew was hard. after several years, still hard. Need more drank.

Oh zombie – so, so sorry. Imagine if every single child was told how beautiful, how smart, how funny, they are? Imagine if they were told that every single thing they did was unfuckingbelievably fabulolus?

Well. What a wonderful world that would be.

The Miracle Mets? Fenwick? Do not get me started. I may be aging myself, but, which miracle? The Koosman and Tom Terrific Mets? Or the Mooky and OH MY GOD Keith Mets?

Thx Helen, and same back at you, because your hurt is so much more recent.

But I think about this one line by Gaslight Anthem in their song “59 Sound”:

young boys, young girls,ain’t supposed to die on a Saturday night.

But they do.

Hey zombie? You are in Milwaukee? As in, Wisconnsin? Do you know that all of us dirty effing hippy tree hugging liberals (in NYC) are counting on you to defeat Scott Walker? No pressure, though.

A zombie who is anti-death penalty.

heh.

Makes sense. Waste of braaaaaaaaains.

re counting on you to defeat Scott Walker? No pressure, though.

oh dear. check my blog.

I have been opposing Turdwaffle Walker since he was County Executive, and all he could do was destroy our county park system and kill the public transit.

Working on it. We have to deal with the Posse Comitatus Reactionary sections of the state though.

A zombie who is anti-death penalty.

Makes sense. Waste of braaaaaaaaains.

Actually, I kind of like ’em fried.

But I don’t want the State to do it.

Yep on no state. State meaning the government. I wish every American would read the 10th amendment. Cuz guess what? Read it!!!

Also, too.

This is all I need to read about the ongoing hatefest roadshow “debate”.

Pimpin’ is hard.

and listening to Bloodshot Records “The Executioner’s Last Songs” records that benefit the National Coalition Against The Death Penalty, for obvious reasons

The main lesson I learned from the most recent executions from the US is that if you want to kill a black dude for no better reason than to maintain the authority of the established power structure, it is safer to do it by drug overdose than by dragging him along behind a pick-up truck.

Ewe, get that stench off of me.

This is a request one seldom hears outside of New Zealand.

oooo am off to bed. g-night.

Do you know that all of us dirty effing hippy tree hugging liberals (in NYC) are counting on you to defeat Scott Walker?

We’d settle for a little nomming

This is a request one seldom hears outside of New Zealand.

So NZ:Australia::Red States:America?

So NZ:Australia::Red States:America?

I believe that Australia has its own Red-State equivalent [cough coughQueensland*cough] and does not need NZ.

* Queensland, the State so backward they had to bring in a Kiwi to govern it.

Interesting

Let me be clear as I can be. We need to understand the so-called “Christian” underpinnings of the anti-tax, anti-government, anti-the-poor, “let him die” approach to economics and public policy today as completely un-Christian, as well as un-American. What we need to do is re-establish our national values of fairness, equality and opportunity for all, values that I believe are actually the core of the Christian faith, (as well as of other religious traditions and of humanist values).

Oh. That last comment was me.

I always thought the uber-christians did a very poor job of selling their mythology religion…because their god is SO VERY MEAN.

I believe that Australia has its own Red-State equivalent [cough coughQueensland*cough] and does not need NZ.

Except for the bestiality.

Hey, Smut? Is your Deep South to the North? You guys are all upside down and all…

I always thought the uber-christians did a very poor job of selling their mythology religion…because their god is SO VERY MEAN.

It always cracked me up how they would hold Jesus up as some sort of justification for being a dumbfuck tax rebel.

I like how their god vascillates between being all like hippy time benevolent to “I’LL SEND YOU’RE ASS STRAIGHT TO HELL WHERE YOU’LL GET NO MORE BIRTHDAYS!” guy.

Oh. That last comment was me.

And I had killed you. Because of that fuckface “Anonymous” copy-pasta troll that was plaguing us awhile back.

Imagine if they were told that every single thing they did was unfuckingbelievably fabulolus?

Regretsy would have material right up to the heat death of the universe?

And I had killed you. Because of that fuckface “Anonymous” copy-pasta troll that was plaguing us awhile back.

OUCH. Quit it.

I like how their god vascillates between being all like hippy time benevolent to “I’LL SEND YOU’RE ASS STRAIGHT TO HELL WHERE YOU’LL GET NO MORE BIRTHDAYS!” guy.

Well, in fairness, one’s a Dad, the other is the rebellious hippie liberal Jew.

I’m trying to picture the discussions between God and Jesus when he was a teen (remember, that’s not covered in the Bible so this could actually be true)

God: Cut your hair, you Me-damned hippie freak!

Jesus: You’re not the boss of Me!

Well, in fairness, one’s a Dad, the other is the rebellious hippie liberal Jew.

I think the dad inspired Red Foreman on That 70s Show.

We have to deal with the Posse Comitatus Comatose Reactionary sections of the state though.

FTFY

Hey now. Red was against Ford’s pardon of Nixon.

When you scratched the surface, Red was really an honorable, stand-up guy. Nothing like your modern conservative.

Red was really an honorable, stand-up guy. Nothing like your modern conservative.

BTW, if you’ve got 45 minutes to spare, check out this video of a program I was watching this morning on Free Speech TV: The Codes of Gender

It goes a lonnnnnnnnnng way to explaining a lot of mass-media creations.

Well, now that’s just special!

Oops. That requires clarification before someone assumes I mean “self-proclaimed”…

Thank you for sharing! I’m excited about watching it!

So, I asked Bob Owens why he–who advocated violent revolution after the passing of ObamaCare–gets to lecture the left for its supposed love of “cop-killers.” Here’s what his commenters offered me:

Any federal agents that defend Dur Fuhrer and his mob are not defending the constitution and deserve to be shot if it comes to that. It ought to be these agents of the people that arrest O and his cronies and frog march them to the reflecting pool to suffer the fate of Nicolae Ceausescu.

Posted by: Dru Allard at September 22, 2011 06:50 PM

Dear Andrew:

I’ll allow Bob to defend himself; he’s more than capable. I’ll only point out that you’re conflating two entirely different topics: the possibility of patriotic Americans taking up arms to overthrow a despotic government versus Progressives well-known infatuation with murderers and assorted other criminals.

Since the ascension of Mr. Obama, a great many thoughtful Americans have been concerned–due to more than sufficient evidence–that Mr. Obama and his followers might cross the line between democracy and despotism, a line, granted, the precise location of which none of us know with certainty. Once that line is crossed, what should Americans who wish to preserve our democratic republic do? Had not the Republicans taken back the House so convincingly in the mid term elections, those musings would surely have continued, perhaps intensified. If ObamaCare is allowed to survive, when elderly mothers and fathers are essentially killed by socialist mandate it will resume with a vengeance. Should the EPA be allowed to write irrational regulations that result is mass deaths in states lacking sufficient power supplies, we’ll be far, far closer to the line. And if we are, those discussing the possibility of using force will be entirely in line with the thinking of, and the legacy of, the founders who knew that it might well be necessary to use force in the future to abolish a despotic government. Anyone standing with that government would obviously be fair game, and by standing against liberty would be choosing to put themselves in the line of fire, for they would be the enforcers of despotism. Our police officers, whether local, state or federal derive their powers from the people. When they turn on the people and assist in the abolition of the rule of law, they forfeit their only source of legitimate authority and become armed, credentialed criminals.

While socialism is a driving force for despotism of all kinds, it is hardly advocating armed violence to suggest that progressives that advocate for the most vicious thugs and brutes our society has to offer are misguided, even destructive to society. They are. Ann Coulter is quite right, as is Bob.

Of course, if the MRC are REAL oldschool conservatives, one speculates that logically, they’ll be eschewing the b00b tube altogether in favour of the faith-based-initiative deal with the hoicked-out pigeon bits in a big silver platter.

HARUSPICY ISREAL!!!!!!

discussions between God and Jesus when he was a teen

Iesus – Dad, why are you always such a heavy hater?

Yahweh – Nu, so even from my own kid I’m getting this now?

Iesus – Bite me.

Since the ascension of Mr. Obama

He spells “election” funnay. And seriously, dude, you don’t like Obama work to get your dude elected, but don’t try to pretend advocating the murder of the rightfully elected president is anything other than treason, America-hater. And also too OMG I hope every EPA hater chokes to death on hazardous waste.

I wonder how your head feels under something like me

Iesus – Bite me.

This is my body…

And also too OMG I hope every EPA hater chokes to death on hazardous waste.

You ever wonder what it would be like if we just let the little babies have their rattles?

Honestly, good luck on the move to Ireland if you’re serious with that. Sorry to say I’ve never been there myself (England’s as close as I got), but it’s on the list of places to go.

helen…i am totes with you if you go…i’ve been there and have decided that’s where i want to live…been to england too, and while i love that place, ireland is much, much cooler…when asked by the locals if i had been overseas before and i would reply ‘to england’ i would invariably hear “FOOK the FOOKIN BRITS!!!’ and then a multitude of swears that i could not decipher…

You ever wonder what it would be like if we just let the little babies have their rattles?

as a parent, you should know the answer to this one…they would be fine with their rattle for about two seconds and then would start screaming for something else…or worse, just drop the rattle and stare at you until you pick it up and give it back to them…only to drop it again…

I loved Ireland when I was there, and would move there if I had to, but I’d prefer someplace warmer and sunnier.

as a parent, you should know the answer to this one

Well, here’s my thinking: we build the A-Ark, tell them, “fine, lower taxes, yadayadayada, enjoy the next century,” then come back and fix everything once they get it all out of their systems.

well, yeah warm and sunny is always optimal, but i’m from the hinterlands of minnesota, so ireland WAS warmer…also, that place just kicks ass…

I stayed near Dublin, altho I did visit Newgrange. I can’t say I disagree with you. It was February and they had temperate palm trees growing. I was impressed with the climate.

Still, I like to be naked outside…

holy crap…this was a long thread to catch up with (some of us DO have to do some sort of work ya know)…

i also find that i am finding this country to be a really scary place right now if people like bobo wens and his followers are really truly serious…i mean, holy eff! talk about sucking the hot rod nitro…they are really and truyl messed up, aren’t they?

but this makes me worried about myself…i absofuckinglutely cannot get anything done at the dentist without a shitton of nitrous…my old dentist, who called me ‘button’ even when i was in my late 30s (r.i.p.) used to just let me suck that crap for all i was worth: him: can you smell anything now? me: (inhaling for as long as possible) nope him: (turning the knob)* okay, how about now? me (inhaling for as long as possible) nope…

pretty soon i would be giggling for about half an hour and then i would pass out…good times…

zomg! AFTER i got my wisdom teeth surgically removed as a teenager, we found out that the surgeon was up on misconduct charges…srsly, i did wonder why i was not wearing my cardigan when i woke up…i believe he was cleared on those charges, but this was not much comfort for number one son when HE had to get his out by the same doc…i told him to wear multiple pairs of undies…

Great! Now I’ve got a Wham! song earworming….

“Dig me up, before you go-go”?

Just saw this status update at Facebook a few minutes ago:

My resignation, from the right in general, and the GOP in particular: I have never considered myself a liberal, nor is that a title I am currently applying for.

I helped found the YR chapter at Berkeley High in the 80’s, fought to get military recruiters onto campus, campaigned for Reagan, and became a Marine at 18.

I believe in single income families, middle-income property owners, well trained dogs, and skillfully employed firearms. What makes me a conservative, as opposed to an anti-american radical, is that I understand government is the necessary path to those things. Strong public schools, progressive taxation, judicious regulation, muscular infrastructure, minimum wage, unions, social security, and the occasional protective tariff; these things are the bulwarks of the american high-wage working class. This class did not exist prior to the implementation of these programs, and has withered with their dismantling.

Unfortunately, the modern GOP, with it’s libertarian and tea bag wings, believes in none of this.

It has ceased to be conservative at, instead adopting the anti-government and ego-centrist philosophies of the late 60’s youth movement. A philosophy in which a nation is just a place and a society is just a collection of individuals. A philosophy which dismisses the founding principles of the original colonies and pioneer communities as leftist looterism.

The last decent conservatives (such as G.H.W. Bush) have retired, leaving four kinds of people in the GOP: traitors (e.g. the Kochs), messianiac dominionist nut jobs (e.g. Michelle Bachmann), useful idiots (aka: tea party), and geriatric bigots on holiday from the John Birch Society (also tea party).

It’s true, as some liberals charge, that we always had them with us, but we made them wear shoes and keep quiet in front of company. These people are not conservatives; they are dangerous, bomb-throwing radicals, and if Joe McCarthy were around today he would drag them before HUAC. It’s a safe bet that Ike would have no truck with this kind, and I have begun to wonder if even The Gipper would recognize them. Lincoln would stalk away in disgust.

A Nation, as opposed to a Country or a State, is large, extended community. While individuals within it should be personally conservative, seeking self-reliance and ultimately self-mastery, that community must assist it’s members to find their place within it, and be prepared to catch them when they fall. This is a difficult balance to strike, but it has been, and can be, done.

The alternative is societal failure, collective consignment to the dustbin of history. The current “conservative movement” has become the looters it so despises, building nothing, prepared to raze civilization for a few shiny baubles. Thus I must, regretfully, resign.

PS: Please stop using the title “conservative.” I’ll hold onto it until you remember what it means.

Well, here’s my thinking: we build the A-Ark, tell them, “fine, lower taxes, yadayadayada, enjoy the next century,” then come back and fix everything once they get it all out of their systems.

You saw the warming models, the self accelerating systems (methane releases from under the ice caps)

There won’t be anything left to fix. I would doubt that what would be left would be inhabitable by the human at this stage of his evolution.

I believe in single income families, middle-income property owners, well trained dogs, and skillfully employed firearms. What makes me a conservative, as opposed to an anti-american radical, is that I understand government is the necessary path to those things. Strong public schools, progressive taxation, judicious regulation, muscular infrastructure, minimum wage, unions, social security, and the occasional protective tariff; these things are the bulwarks of the american high-wage working class. This class did not exist prior to the implementation of these programs, and has withered with their dismantling.

Funny, this makes me a conservative too.

He’s the kind of conservative I grew up with. Him, I can deal with. There’s compromise to be found with his kind.

This is where the writer loses me:

These people are not conservatives; they are dangerous, bomb-throwing radicals, and if Joe McCarthy were around today he would drag them before HUAC.

McCarthy was every bit the dangerous, bomb-throwing radical is the people the writer decries. Sorry, dude, you got fooled for the past thirty years, it’s nice to see you woke up, but you did nothing to stop the downward spiral.

Conservative? Sure sounds like a commie to me. Or maybe a fascist. I heard they were the same.

I’m always impressed, in a “Jesus, this is really sad” kind of way, by the sheer volume of writing conservative bloggers and commenters manage to do that’s based on pure fantasy and bullshit. It’s like those people who manage to have encyclopedia-length conversations on fan forums about the nature of this or that thing in Middle Earth, or the Star Wars galaxy, or the world of Twilight, except conservatives actually think everything they’re talking about is real, which makes them far more deluded than even the most hardcore sci-fi/fantasy nerds.

Or maybe, as someone else on S, N! once said, they just figure that because they can keep talking, they must be saying something important.

Damn, actor. Thanks for the facebook thing, I really enjoyed it. Would that there were more conservatives like him: seems to me those guys are mostly the Northeastern moderate kind that the GOP stopped paying attention to decades ago and who keep bleeding away to the Democrats.

Sounds like my last date…

You mean your date with the concern-troll-that-shall-not-be-named on the last thread?

That was more of a four hour session. I think I tip too well

Andrew-

Apparently the answer is compartmentalization. That and IOKIYAR.

One thing also is the assumption of guilt on the kid, when the fact that that was heavily unlikely and probably fictitious was the whole point of the controversy.

But hey, wingnuts and their love of death, but it brings up something that isn’t checked enough. That is the oft-repeated meme of how liberals love criminals when they want the death penalty off the table and when they want the justice system to work.

I mean, killing an innocent man and refusing to open old cases because “you have someone and that’s good enough” is what coddles criminals. It says that if you can frame someone for a lazy police department, you can walk free as a criminal and no matter what evidence comes later you are absolutely free and clear. Target someone poor and black and they probably won’t even do a DNA test so you’re free to drop hair and blood all over the place.

Having a stronger justice system that cares more about being accurate than being about punishment is the system that is “tougher” on criminals, because it ensures that criminals can’t get away with it simply because the cops are lazy. Suddenly the criminals who think they get away with it could at any time be picked up by a future investigation into the case to check the facts. These sorts of systems not only protect the innocents, but ensure that the criminal for each crime is the one behind bars.

And well, evidence bears this out. A number of death row cases found to have shit for evidence that were forced to reinvestigate in states that gave a damn about not killing innocent people were able to find the real killer within days using modern methods.

Not to mention that pressure to punish anyone also leads to the rushed investigation in the first place and the habit of picking up whatever undesirable walks off the street instead of doing an actual investigation in order to get the public off their back and look “competent and strong”.

So yeah, the real question is why do these “law & order” types love criminals and hate the justice system so much.

And well, evidence bears this out. A number of death row cases found to have shit for evidence that were forced to reinvestigate in states that gave a damn about not killing innocent people were able to find the real killer within days using modern methods.

This is, I believe, the single largest justification for the Innocence Project: Let them impartially review whatever forensic evidence is available in all capital cases.
