    FIRST!

     
    Bozo the Cocksucker
     

    SHUT THE FUCK UP

     
     

    Neocon boner alert.

    Much more fun for them than trying to defend Wall St.

    Bombs away!
    ~

     
     

    Now that I got that outta the way …

    The minute I read about the plot, a few thoughts came to mind:

    1. Why do I not believe what Holder is telling us? Not sure why, but I just don’t. At all.

    2. The rightwing is going to have a collective fapping at the thought of maybe possibly bombing Iran.

    3. Even though nothing gets the right more excited than the idea of bombing the shit out of brown people, they’d STILL bitch and moan about how Obama needs to get permission from Congress because only Democrats need to do that; GOP presidents can do whatever the fuck they want militarily without asking anyone.

    Should be interesting to see how this plays out …

    (* I actually agree that the Obama team, while having some latitude due to CiC powers, should’ve gotten Congressional authority for actions in Libya. But that’s for another time … )

     
     

    Oh good grief. You just knew the drumbeat for war was going to start a-pounding*

    *VmasturbationR

     
     

    Well, actor, for Christ’s sake, President Oblackma is ever so, almost invisibly, slightly slowing down our existing wars. Kinda. A bit.

    Meantime, there are whole other nations of people who don’t belong to Pastor Jeffrass’ church who need to be bombed. Iran is the next closest.

     
     

    Also too, teh DEA informer was pretending to be a Messican drug cartel d00d. Screw teh border fence, it’s time to invade Mexico and not in that good Spring-Break-tequila-and-hot-latin-sex kinda way.

     
     

    Animation!

    Izzat actually a JPG? Never seen such a thang!
    .

     
     

    You know what cracks me up? Teh ads I’m getting on Glennzilla’s page are for Erin Burnett’s CNN show.

     
     

    Screw teh border fence, it’s time to invade Mexico
    yay! *runs to grab swim suit*

    and not in that good Spring-Break-tequila-and-hot-latin-sex kinda way.

    *screeching to a halt*

    wut?

     
     

    Izzat actually a JPG? Never seen such a thang!

    Jeez, I never noticed that. The answer is Sadly, No!

     
    The Goddamn Batman Is Back, And He's Bringing Sexy With Him
     

    Libya was just too short to get a proper warboner on, wasn’t it?

     
     

    Iran should be held responsible via an invasion of American hitchhikers.

     
     

    I mean, I understand Petraeus shoveling this shit around. Killing has been his business for a long time, and business has never been bad. The President and Holder have really never been anything other than Clinton style triangulators, who just refuse to believe that, with the next complete sell-out of the American people, the Republicans will not now love him. (Double negative is deliberate – makes as much sense as Obama trying to get support from Yertle the McTurtle and Eddie Cantor.)

    But FFS, Biden has frequently shown flashes of being human! Yet even he is running around with battle-bongos. Dammit.

     
     

    BATMAN!

    Oh sure. It’s teh Prodigal Son all over again. We hang around, provide cogent commentary and lulz and it’s all *yawn* but The Fucking Batman waltzes in and it’s “Where’s that fatted calf!”

    FINE.

     
     

    What, you don’t like fatted calf?

     
     

    Whaley’s all pouty, folks. Send Cetacean hugs!
    Isn’t it disgraceful that these ebul Ayrabs wanted to kill a senior political figure inna nother country. The fiends!!!

     
     

    Libya reminds me of teh conflicted emotions on teh right. Sure they lurve their FREEDOM BOMBS, but dangnabit if they’re gonna cheer for Obummer. In this case it’s even worse since teh ultimate target of teh plot was a brown d00d. FREEDOM BOMBS are shockingly awesome but there will be hell to pay if a single US serviceman dies trying to protect teh Saudi ambassador.

     
     

    Mmmmmm fatted calf….

     
     

    But FFS, Biden has frequently shown flashes of being human! Yet even he is running around with battle-bongos. Dammit.

    I’m torn here. I never want to agree with the Corner about everything, especially when they’re motivated by more PNAC-style empire-building. Having said that, there is a line between things that you do as part of espionage, and acts of war. Trying to kill ambassadors is skating right up to that line.

    In short, the guys who want to go to war with Iran for money and/or power are evil. But it’s also possible for Iran to do something so dumb that the good guys agree with the evil guys. I’m not sure this is it, though, and we should pray that the Iraq folly has taught the importance of unimpeachable evidence.

     
     

    mmy,

    Where does Raymond Davis fall with respect to the line? Also too, teh evidence that Iran is involved is that teh prosecutors say that d00d phoned his cousin who is totally in teh Quds Force. Or might have been at one point.

    Also remember – there were no explosives. No plot actually occured. Just teh feds luring some guy into this ridiculously contrived scenario.

    Remember that teh info we’ve got is based on teh unsealed criminal complaint. Sure teh prosecutors believe Iran is involved. Quelle surprise.

     
     

    I mean, I understand Petraeus shoveling this shit around. Killing has been his business for a long time, and business has never been bad.

    In the best Westmoreland tradition, the figures that Petraeus quoted about targetting success were basically made up.

    While I’m reading the Guardian, is this news in the US yet?
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/oct/12/wall-street-journal-andrew-langhoff

    WSJ turns out to be boosting “sales” by giving away copies (41% of Europe edition!) but claiming them as actually paid for, through complex money-laundering schemes, involving advertorials (not labelled as advertorials) for companies assisting with the scam.

     
     

    If it were an actual Iranian attempt, through their actual agents, or their cat’s paws, I would be surprised as hell. This incident sounds as plausible as the John McCain presidential campaign being an attempt by the shadowy Panama Canal Zone organization to take over the U.S.

     
     

    Come on now! Over a the Cornhole, there is always a reason to bomb Iran. Is it sunny out? Bomb Iran! Is it raining? Bomb Iran! A white conservative Christian terrorist blew up a Martin Luther King Day parade? Bomb Iran!

     
     

    sounds as plausible as the John McCain presidential campaign being an attempt by the shadowy Panama Canal Zone organization to take over the U.S.

    Damn! He’s on to us.

    By Grabthar’s Hammer! that’s the most dishonest thing Rupert Murdoch has done since breakfast!

     
     

    it’s “Where’s that fatted calf!”

    I prefer “milky thighs” myself.

     
     

    Also remember – there were no explosives. No plot actually occured. Just teh feds luring some guy into this ridiculously contrived scenario.

    Well, that’s kind of my point. A guys makes a suspicous trip to Iran, and then arranges some details with a DEA informant? Seems loose.

    Like I said, more and better evidence needs to be public before I would buy this. Hillary’s “Nobody could make that up, right?” is not sufficient, especially after all of the BS that was contrived to get us into Iraq.

    All I’m saying is – and it makes me feel dirty to type this next part – there are things Iran could do that would make me agree with the Corner on this. Actually killing ambassadors would be one of them. Plotting to kill them? Probably not, but it’s closer.

     
     

    WSJ turns out to be boosting “sales” by giving away copies

    Oh right! England gets the kewl Murdoch phone hacking scandal, we get the crappy “Hey! Let’s boost sales by calling free giveaways actual sales!” scam…

     
     

    BTW, TinTin, I’ve always thought this was a better Kirsanow trope

     
     

    How ghastly and unprincipled. Extra-judicial killing on the soil of foreigners. I am appall-ed. Why, it sounds like something Israel would do/has done. Or like something the USA would do/has done/is doing. Wait, have I got those country names right? That can’t be since they’re shining examples of democracy, righteousness, and like that. Obviously, I am mistaken.

     
     

    Indeed, we can tie the trope to the topic.

    A sort of “tropic” if you will…

     
     

    Ya know, on the subject of fishy-sounding rationales, did it seem strange to anyone else that 2 American civilians just “happened” to be on a nature hike in the region of the Iraq/Iran border, and just accidentally wandered a little too close and found themselves in Iran? I mean what? Were they going for a Boy Scout Merit Badge in “international Incident Triggering”? Were they just looking for fossils? Pirate Treasure? Hawt Camel Sex? Who does this?

     
     

    @Smut,

    I do not, really cannot, believe the whole schmeal isreal. At first glance this appears to be a Lackawanna 6 rerun, complete with Secret Agent Yusef Gamal asking,”So, do any one of you know anyone from Qods?”

    Ahmadinejad has never struck me as suicidal. A successful assassination like this would end him, and sooner than later. (

    Unless we get another Bush in the WH, in which case he’d get a decade of comfy retirement in Pakistan.)

     
     

    It just seems so bananas that I’m not gonna believe it unless forced to. Maybe via waterboarding.

     
     

    Okay. Got your point. I agree that plotting assassinations of public figures is one of those things that we should condemn. And context matters too, so teh assassination of bin Laden I suppose is okay because he’s ebul – but teh Saudi ambassador isn’t. Although how Al-Awlaki figures into the continuum of ebul is a bit moar complicated. And those two motorcycle guys that Raymond Davis shot – but they were petty thieves and credit card fraudsters so that’s okay. Teh hundreds of people he targetted for unmanned drone strikes too.

    Intelligence forces do fucked up shit. All. Teh. Frigging. Time. Outsourcing bombings to a criminal drug gang? Sure why not. Certainly no less fucked up than trying to send Fidel a box of exploding cigars.

    And still, teh “plot” makes no sense at all. Tell me, who do you think has a better chance at successfully planting a bomb in a Washington restaurant – a used car salesman with American citizenship but who is really a sekrit Quds Force operative or some guy who is part of an infamous Mexican drug cartel?

    It’s a fake plot. Even if it weren’t a fake plot, it is not so out of teh ordinary compared to stuff that intelligence operatives do all teh frigging time, let alone compared to shit they ineptly try to plot.

     
     

    Ya know, on the subject of fishy-sounding rationales, did it seem strange to anyone else that 2 American civilians just “happened” to be on a nature hike in the region of the Iraq/Iran border

    3 Americans.

    I doubt it. Bauer writes for Mother Jones, The Nation and was a correspondent for Pacifica. Not exactly the kind of guy who would cooperate with the administration.

     
     

    Of all the predictable, stupid, useless cheap shots in political rhetoric, none is more familiar than:

    “Oooooh, sanctions! That’ll teach ’em. And maybe a really strong reprimand afterward.” Etc.

    Hey, fuckhead, if you think war is so great, I’ll help you find the nearest military recruiter.

     
     

    Is a military option to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon off the table?

    Anyone have any idea what military play prevents a country from obtaining a nuclear weapon—shy of bombing every square inch of said country?

     
     

    Outsourcing bombings to a criminal drug gang?

    For $1.5 million?

    Not a chance in hell.

     
     

    I prefer “milky thighs” myself.

    hmmm…t & u is not a fan of a nicely turned cankle…

     
     

    Yeah. $1.5 million. LOL.

     
     

    t & u is not a fan of a nicely turned broken cankle…

    FTFY

     
     

    I’m especially tickled by Kirsanow’s question regarding teh Iranian Green Movement of 2009. Not just because Iran’s alleged meddling is some sort of magical backwards justification of meddling in internal Iranian politics but because of teh implied better relations between Saudi and an Iran led by a populist democratic movement. LOL.

     
     

    Libya was just too short to get a proper warboner on, wasn’t it?

    It’s just not the same if it’s not your idea. Imagine you are a complete douchebag and your wife/lover/rent-boy wants to do something for them, to get them in the mood for the triple dildo wet suit that is the daily standard. Things like pillow talk or a light massage and pussy ass shit like that. Well, that just doesn’t get one quite as hard as planning the right combination butt-plug/swing-harness of war-hard-on-fun and knowing that you are the only special people who want it.

    So, yeah, a black democrat recommended that war and they hadn’t had enough time to build their hate boner so they feel like they are owed Iran because they couldn’t quite spurt their load to their satisfaction on Libya. Not to mention they liked the person in charge of Libya, he was a good stooge, whereas they’ve still got a hate boner for how their puppet in Iran was disposed of.

     
     

    “I prefer “milky thighs” myself.”

    THAT’S NOT MILK!!!!111

     
     

    Further, teh “plot” makes so little sense for Iran’s perspective that there’s speculation that it was teh work of an independent possibly rogue faction in teh Quds Force. And we all know that post-populist overthrow of despotic governments with a deeply entrenched military structure, teh military never acts up or seizes control in teh power vacuum or anything liek that. Lookit Egypt!

    FFS, that question about teh Persian Awakening is even moar ludicrous than teh alleged plot.

     
     

    THAT’S NOT MILK!!!!111

    *shrug*

    I wondered why it was so salty…

     
     

    Ya know, on the subject of fishy-sounding rationales, did it seem strange to anyone else that 2 American civilians just “happened” to be on a nature hike in the region of the Iraq/Iran border, and just accidentally wandered a little too close and found themselves in Iran? I mean what? Were they going for a Boy Scout Merit Badge in “international Incident Triggering”? Were they just looking for fossils? Pirate Treasure? Hawt Camel Sex? Who does this?

    one of my tool friends wrote something on fb about these guys…he was all like…how do you not know you’re in iran?

     
     

    WSJ turns out to be boosting “sales” by giving away copies (41% of Europe edition!) but claiming them as actually paid for, through complex money-laundering schemes, involving advertorials (not labelled as advertorials) for companies assisting with the scam.

    You know, if people really want to deport dangerous aliens then Rupert Murdoch should be at the top of the list. Yeah, he’s only one person but as far as the money earned he’s probably taking more than all the illegal migrant workers combined. And it’s not like we couldn’t find plenty of Americans willing and able to do the job. I mean, “Evil Greedy Bastard” is not really something that we have a drastic shortage of.

     
     

    how do you not know you’re in iran?

    Yeah, cuz every country is a different color and there’s that big black line!

     
     

    The only way you’re going to defeat Iran is bombing, and I do mean nuke. Look at the map: Iran is bigger in both size and population than Iraq and Aghanistan combined. Iran is not some third-world shithole with a crippled army that’s gonna fold like a cheap lawnchair as soon as it sees American tanks, either. Furthermore, International sanctions notwithstanding, Iran is not withour friends. I don’t think China or Russia are going to smile too generously on us trying to occupy their biggest oil-suppliers. The Ayatollahs and Ahmedinejad are not particularly popular, it’s true, but that doesn’t mean the population is going to be throwing candy and flowers at the feet of American GIs.

     
     

    the John McCain presidential campaign being an attempt by the shadowy Panama Canal Zone organization to take over the U.S.

    Seems legit.

    how do you not know you’re in iran?

    Really, they had to walk right over the line marking the border, right? Judging by google earth, it must be at least two miles wide!

     
     

    Yeah, cuz every country is a different color and there’s that big black line!

    i know! i can’t believe they didn’t trip over the big black line…i mean in this day and age, country delineation has to be 3d, doesn’t it?

     
     

    Grrrr tigris.

     
     

    how do you not know you’re in iran?

    To be fair to teh not-hikers, I’d say that teh repeated warnings from teh guy running teh hostel you stayed at is a good clue. Teh border guards telling you to stay away is also a bit of a good sign that you might be near teh border.

     
     

    And it’s not like we couldn’t find plenty of Americans willing and able to do the job.

    we could offer him to the ows protestors…

     
     

    teh implied better relations between Saudi and an Iran led by a populist democratic movement.

    I thought the Arab Spring was an Islamofascist plot to get rid of friendly tyrants and wipe out Israel.

    Or are you saying Glenn Beck was wrong about something?

     
     

    I *thought* i had just refreshed this tab.

     
     

    To be fair to teh not-hikers, I’d say that teh repeated warnings from teh guy running teh hostel you stayed at is a good clue. Teh border guards telling you to stay away is also a bit of a good sign that you might be near teh border.

    i am a pretty limited stay on the trail kind of hiker meself, only because i have absolutely no sense of direction and could quite easily find myself somewhere i wouldn’t want to be…which is why i generally eschew hiking…

     
     

    Grrrr tigris.

    HOTCHA!

     
     

    My little guidebook here, Hiking in the Middle East for Fun and Profit, tells me that if you suddenly step in yellow cake then you have crossed the Iranian border and should immediately turn back.

     
     

    Yeah, cuz every country is a different color and there’s that big black line!

    That gave me da gigglez.

    Meanwhile, an actual on-topic thought: Anyone else think this all seems like another excuse to turn two small clusterfucks of wars into one big really big ‘ol clusterfuck?

    After all, those big black lines are only theoretical, especially if some nation has the military might to move them …

     
     

    That’s one big really big ‘ol typo.

    And to think someone pays me to write stuff.

    Ironic, that.

     
     

    I thought the Arab Spring was an Islamofascist plot to get rid of friendly tyrants and wipe out Israel.

    Silly man. Arab Spring is a deodorizing soap that leaves you feeling like a genie in a bottle!

     
     

    Peter Kirsanow. People with mustaches are always suspect, and he stole his from Harcourt Fenton Mudd. Makes him look like a Black Russian, or the doorman at the Binkley Arms. If he stood up at my news conference I would be laughing too hard to answer him.

     
     

    Operation Northwoods, anyone?

     
     

    Further, teh “plot” makes so little sense for Iran’s perspective that there’s speculation that it was teh work of an independent possibly rogue faction in teh Quds Force.

    The Quds Force is part of the broader Revolutionary Guard Corps (the Pasdaran), and it’s an open question exactly how much these guys as a whole are still under control. Over the last three decades they’ve grown from a small elite group of bodyguards to a full blown state-within-a-state, and Khamenei’s had to lean on them more heavily than ever over the last couple of years as the regime’s main political army suppressing dissent and whatnot.

    Because of that, observers think the tail may be starting to wag the dog.

     
     

    Um, you guys are forgetting that the hikers claim they were on Iraqi soil when they were captured.

    Who’s to say that the Iranian troops weren’t on an incursion into Iraqi territory and decided to take them hostage to keep them from talking?

     
     

    Anyone else think this all seems like another excuse to turn two small clusterfucks of wars into one big really big ‘ol clusterfuck?

    I did, sort of

     
     

    That’s one big really big ‘ol typo

    i thought you were just being vehement…

     
     

    Silly man. Arab Spring is a deodorizing soap that leaves you feeling like a genie in a bottle!

    you silly man! everbody knows that swarthy brown people don’t bathe and they smell funneh…gosh!

     
     

    Yeah, cuz every country is a different color and there’s that big black line!

    It is very easy to jam GPS receivers, and even for the U.S. government, to turn off the GPS signal or degrade its accuracy in a given part of the world. So if they were dependent on GPS to keep them on the right side of the line, perhaps they were screwed. In the past, Iran has not been shy about going outside of their borders to grab something they thought was shiny. In the shooting part of the 2nd gulf war, they did grab a UK patrol boat and kept their crew hostage for a number of weeks or months. Lastly, it is possible the giant black line was dotted, rather than solid, leading the hikers to believe they were crossing a state or territory line and not a national boundary. Of course, the hikers could have been on the wrong side of the border deliberately, accidentally but that would have been idiotic.

     
     

    Silly man. Arab Spring is a deodorizing soap that leaves you feeling like a genie in a bottle!

    you silly man! everbody knows that swarthy brown people don’t bathe and they smell funneh…gosh!

    The joke’s on them: it’s made of camel dung!

    it could be a farside cartoon…

    c’mon ya big chicken…i dare ya!

    it’s better to have camel dung than camel toe…

     
     

    it’s better to have camel dung than camel toe…

    BITE YOUR TONGUE!

     
     

    BITE YOUR TONGUE!

    heh…i knew that would get you…

     
     

    a couple of years ago a drunk chick asked hubbkf if he wanted to see her camel toe

     
     

    Meet the new con, same as the old con.

    Just in time to knock OWS off the front page, it’s ……… MOTORBOATS OF DOOM 2: MEXICAN BOOGALOO!

    This is NOT how you whack somebody when the potential ramifications of exposure include your country getting a case of Carpet-Bombing Flu. Much better to use a zealous (& ideally suicidal) nutjob (preferably a US citizen) who’s incoherent as hell even on a good day, just in case he chumps the job. Best to just hire a professional hitman from Stateside organized crime (same cost with a 100% chance of success & near-zero odds of geting busted) – who will probably do the job with one bullet & no innocent bystanders as victims.

    From what I’ve read so far, almost nobody bright enough to wipe themselves is buying this weak shit*. Even the G-Men themselves are backtracking on the money-shot of high-up Iranian knowledge or planning, after one whole DAY … & Clinton’s “nobody could make that up” is just Rice’s “surely noone could have anticipated” in a little black dress & pearls.

    Pretty telling that the bombing was to go down in a swank DC restaurant where there might very well be actual Congresscreatures as collateral damage!!!! Plausibility FAIL but niche-marketing WIN in a town where bulletproof glass & Kevlar vests are regular accessories for politicians.

    Had I included a comma, then yes. But sadly, no!

    It does, however, explain why my boss has three people edit my work (writers =/= good editors).

    This comment is a good excuse to note, for the umpteenth time, that Chris has taught me more in the comment sections of Sadlyville than ANYTHING I have ever learned through the not-so-regular* news.

    So thanks. Sincerely, honestly, and truthfully: THANK. YOU.

    (* Read: They’re full of shit.)

     
     

    How amusing.

    Outrage: the (likely invented) notion that that evil country Iran is attacking our good friend of democracy Exxon, Saudi Arabia!!

    I’m reminded of the time our good friend, Iraq was attacked Iran, and we had to support our buddy Saddam through thick and thin, and even poison gas.

    I wonder how much better off everyone would be if we didn’t overthrow Iran’s democracy in the first place?

    USA! USA! USA!

    ot: joe soucheray giving back-handed compliments to rahm emanuel because he’s cleaning up some of the chicago city employees’ ‘corruption.’ is also going on about how ‘unfair’ it is that some retired city employees are being paid six figure pensions…first off, he foghorns and mocks ANYone who uses the word ‘unfair.’ secondly, he finds ows to be a big crock of shit and that the protestors are stupid, lazy, spoiled brats. thirdly, he is all CAPITALISM ROCKS!!! YAY BILLIONAIRES AND CORPORATIONS!!!

    he’s claiming that these employee pensions are unfair and corrupt, because the tax payers are paying for it…sigh…he is windmilling himself, to use a phrase of his…

     
     

    I wonder how much better off everyone would be if we didn’t overthrow Iran’s democracy in the first place?

    Lots?

     
     

    ZOMG. Fox news resurrected Reagan for a reach-around again, this time about what the president should should do about Iran, but is too wussy to do.

    Well, the answer is, Gretchen, unfortunately, they’re going to get a lot of this (shaking fist). You know, our secretary of state and our president are very good at shaking this fist and telling them that this just will not stand. Well, unfortunately, you know, our enemies understand that. Every Third World despot, every Third World country around the world understands that there will be no repercussions. What should happen? If President Reagan was in there, I assure you, I am confident in telling you, it would be a message on a very, very large scale, and it would not be one or two rockets into an aspirin factory.

    (It would involve a cake?)
    Too bad being oblivious to one’s own irony isn’t fatal.

    Unless of course the weapons Reagan sold them ended up being delivered there by UPS….

    As Henry Kissinger said, why should we let a country go socialist due to the stupidity of its own people?

     
     

    Or the message was a Marine barracks in Lebanon.

    But we kicked butt on Grenada!

    (Although, in fairness, being better than the not-so-regular news is kind of like being the world’s tallest midget. Not fishing for more compliments, I promise, I take the original one with much gratitude. I’m just saying… “Full of shit” puts it well and succinctly).

     
     

    Is Obummer REALLY pulling the choo choo train = mobile weapons lab scam? I sure hope not.

     
     

    Well, unfortunately, you know, our enemies understand that. Every Third World despot, every Third World country around the world understands that there will be no repercussions.

    Presumably, they understand this because Osama Bin Laden and Muammar Qaddafi are still living it up, Obama having repeatedly failed to take the opportunities fate gave him to bring those guys down. Because he’s a pussy.

    Oh.

    Fuck.

    Well, the answer is, Gretchen, unfortunately, they’re going to get a lot of this (shaking fist). You know, our secretary of state and our president are very good at shaking this fist and telling them that this just will not stand. […] What should happen? If President Reagan was in there, I assure you, I am confident in telling you, it would be a message on a very, very large scale, and it would not be one or two rockets into an aspirin factory.

    An EXACT reversal of the way history actually happened. Reagan was the dude who was great at shaking fists and making “this just will not stand!” kind of statements like that “Tear down this wall!” moment in Berlin, giving American conservatives obelisk-sized boners that ensured his reelection.

    The problem is, what he actually did about Iran when he came up against them wasn’t nearly that impressive. There was that embassy bombing, and that Marine barracks bombing, and Reagan reacted forcefully to them by… leaving. Huh! Then there was the thing where Iranians and their allies were snatching American citizens (including a CIA station chief) off the streets in the Middle East. Reagan again reacted with the kind of forceful leadership you can only learn in the First Motion Picture Unit (actual name of his WW2 unit), and tried to buy the hostage-takers off with nice shipments of weapons, thus letting them now that any time they wanted goodies from America, they could just dangle a few hostages over our head.

    If we assume the conservative reaction of kicking asses and taking names to be the correct answer, Zombie Reagan would be the worst person to entrust with such a duty. Bring back Zombie LeMay, Zombie MacArthur and Zombie Sherman, for crying out loud, the people who were actual crazy-ass ass-kickers, rather than posers like Ronnie.

    Whatever happened to not getting involved in a land war in Asia? Seriously.

    I don’t know. Maybe Iraq/Afghanistan have just completely soured my concept of a “good war”. With all the poisonous little spiders scurrying around in the war industry, just waiting to sink their fangs into something, I don’t know if there can be such a thing in practice, even if there is in theory.

    There’s also the fact that we don’t. Have. The fucking money. Good God, NatRev’s been going on and on about how we need to destroy unions and sell Social Security to Wall Street in order to save us from The Debt, but of course they’ll start rattling sabres for a third fucking Middle Eastern land war, holy shit, because there’s always, ALWATS money for war. OK, maybe ignoring Iran is something of a security threat to this country. That’s not my department. But even if it is, letting our infrastructure crumble and our cities and industrial neighborhoods rot and our schools go to shit is also a fucking security risk, you neocon rat turd.

    No shit. It should go without saying. Really. A colonial superpower as banana republic is out of whack—just one of many pick one, you stupid motherfucker, obvious situations that neocon rat turds can’t think their way out of.

    They’ll welcome us as Libya raiders!!

     
     

    There’s also the fact that we don’t. Have. The fucking money.

    Neocon rat turd plan to reduce the costs of wars in the Mid-East so we can have more wars (without incovenient arguments about the costs):

    Pay civilian contractors to do more of the jobs that soldiers used to do, and encourage the contractors to hire from the prison population. That way, nobody would have to pay government workers their exhorbitant salaries and more real* jobs would be created. I can’t think of a better way to have a first rate military than to pay profiteers 20 to 30 times more than soldiers while military families are eligible for food stamps.

    That Nation article jim linked to rocks completely. They’ve filed a Freedom of Information request to see if Hayek drew Social Security while living in the states and working for a libertarian think tank. ‘Tis ever so cool.

    Calling this mere hypocrisy downplays the seriousness of their fraud. Koch and Hayek are no more hypocritical than the used-car salesman who knowingly sells a lemon to a gullible buyer, or the financial agency that rates “AAA” instruments it knows are crap. This is a grand swindle played on a trusting, gullible public, a scam whose goal is to con America’s dying middle class into handing over their retirement money to the richest 0.1 percent, convincing them that in doing so, they’re “empowering” themselves and protecting their “individual liberty.”

DEA Agent (aren’t they some lucky blokes?) to kill a Saudi diplomat—Is it wrong to picture him in a white suit, coked up, at a discotheque with a sausage in his pants? I was alive at that time—just coming of age—there really were a lot of Iranians in discotheques, and our Air Force, was training their pilots.

    Sometimes I try to wrap my mind around the fact that I used to sit alert with 16 of those things on my bomber – except they were each about 50 times as powerful as the Hiroshima bomb.

    I was in Missile Warning (NORAD) and sat alert with coffee and cigarettes so I could help to make the nuclear holocaust more efficient in case of war. At the time, we were told that the number of warheads on a long range Soviet missile was classified, but their were probably ten to twelve 40 megaton bombs, per. It is actually possible to overstate a nuclear threat.

    Thanks for the traumatic memories Team B.

    I can’t remember if I got this link from here: I don’t think so, but could be wrong, anyway, here it is: Closing the “Collapse Gap:” the USSR was better prepared for collapse than the U.S.

    The sentence that more or less summarizes the entire slideshow:

    […] many of the problems that sunk the Soviet Union are now endangering the United States as well. Such as a huge, well-equipped, very expensive military, with no clear mission, bogged down in fighting Muslim insurgents. Such as energy shortfalls linked to peaking oil production. Such as a persistently unfavorable trade balance, resulting in runaway foreign debt. Add to that a delusional self-image, an inflexible ideology, and an unresponsive political system.

     
     

    Funny cuz I just heard about some grandma named Buddy today.

     
     

    Dang. All I gotta do is say something then suddenly it ain’t true.

    LGM has a post up about Eric Erikson holding up a sign to show how hard his life is, yet he doesn’t blame Wall Street (like those protesting welfare cheats he’s supporting with the taxes he pays (and they don’t)).

    Dog, strike them dead. Pleeeze?

     
     

    It was a DEA “informant” not an agent. My bad.

    An informant who started working for the DEA in exchange for the charges against him being dropped. It’s always important to have reliable sources before starting a war.

     
     

    I won’t call you “buddy” anymore, bbk, although I do call my boyfriend “kelly” but only because it’s his name. Never met a girl named Buddy, though.

    Oh, he brings that up too, towards the end:

    I have left out two important superpower asymmetries, because they don’t have anything to do with collapse-preparedness. Some countries are simply luckier than others. But I will mention them, for the sake of completeness.

    In terms of racial and ethnic composition, the United States resembles Yugoslavia more than it resembles Russia, so we shouldn’t expect it to be as peaceful as Russia was, following the collapse. Ethnically mixed societies are fragile and have a tendency to explode.

    In terms of religion, the Soviet Union was relatively free of apocalyptic doomsday cults. Very few people there wished for a planet-sized atomic fireball to herald the second coming of their savior. This was indeed a blessing.

    No shit.

Personally, since I was a little kid, what I got out of it was that we shouldn’t crucify people—Hey! That was the son of God you crucified there. Stop doing that!.

    Chris, I read that excerpt and knew it was Orlov before I even clicked the link. He knows what he is talking about and unfortunately very few of the American public want to face the realities of peak oil. We are on the plateau now, like a roller coaster teetering on the brink of the plummet, and nobody knows how long the plateau will last. The recession may buy us a few years and maybe give us a softer landing but I doubt it. I may not always agree with Kunstler but The Long Emergency is looking more and more prescient.

     
     

    In terms of religion, the Soviet Union was relatively free of apocalyptic doomsday cults.

    They did have a big upsurge in apocalyptic doomsday cults, science denialism and loony-tunes pseudoscience after the Soviet empire went tits-up, however [can’t be arsed looking up the Sci.Am article].
    There seems to be a pattern when empires fall apart… people are using the reassuring sense of national exceptionalism as a defense against the crappiness and pointlessness of their personal lives, until it SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING, whereupon they turn to more reassuring though even less reality-based belief systems. Big decline in rationality. Some smart person could probably use it as an indicator for imperial collapse.

     
     

    Fox news resurrected Reagan for a reach-around again

    Seems to be that if a nation’s standard of living and general place in the world has declined since a particular administration, then rather than feeling nostalgic for the decisions that were made then, perhaps it would be more rational to wonder what was wrong about them.

    Fundamentalism and conservatism are on the rise world wide. I really think this is 1918 to 1936 again. Many striking similarities. This time, however, the good guys are turning fascist.

    Every empire, past and present, you can trace it’s downfall to an obscene wealth gap. The endless wars and fervent nationalism are just another means to that end.

    I suppose that the most frightening and depressing part of it is that the people responsible for all this shit know what they’re doing to their country. They don’t care. By the time the worst of it hits, they’ll be long gone. They destroy everything for even more wealth that they couldn’t possibly spend in their lifetimes.

    Yeah, that’s kind of what’s scariest when contemplating the possibility that the U.S. might go down the fascist road. Last time it happened, at least there were democratic governments elsewhere that managed to put it down and keep the flame burning. But if we go dark side, who’s going to slap us down? Especially since we have WMDs that the bad guys the last time around could only dream of.

    Eh. Most of them probably choose not to think about it and to believe the shit that passes for news at places like the WSJ, even if part of them knows better. When you’re rich and powerful enough to’ve shut out reality your whole life, you’d probably get used to it as a defense mechanism.

    It’s not a great comparison, but the Roman Empire was significantly bigger than the US, at least by some metrics (like say, domination of the known world at the time), and after they ate their own guts, they went down like something that goes down really easy.

    By the time the worst of it hits, they’ll be long gone.

    They’re not going anywhere. When the worst of it hits, they’ll be cheering like mad, swilling champagne. If they can get it all to actually collapse, just think how cheap labor will be!

    They’re not really concerned that the surrounding nation will be turned into one giant pigshit lagoon. It’ll be fine at their estate. The only possible worry they have is the guillotine, and keeping that at bay is what paramilitary police forces and the abolition of civil rights are for.

    Oh, I think that’s what you’d call a self-correcting situation. Assuming it involves lots of shit getting blowed up real good, I can’t imagine the US letting anyone else in on the action. Empires nearly always lead to nasty infighting among would-be Emperors, not to mention growing unpleasantness from domestic “insurgents” who fail to understand the joys of sunset-to-dawn curfews, state censorship or summary executions.

    Also might be worth noting that even centuries later, the Roman shepherds grazing their flocks amid the ruins were all saying, “What? This? This is just a temporary setback. Rome will rule again, just you wait & see!”

    (Roman shepherds = PNAC?)

     
     

    I suppose we both left out the best part, in that Iraq was a done deal long before these two dirtbags got paraded in front of the media. They were just part of the laser light show.

    Surely. I figured it might have been a bet about what would happen if we destroyed a nation and then sold it to the lowest bidder with the legal structure of a globalist’s wet dream while encouraging Americans to buy Hummers to guzzle the oil that Iraqis had been using the proceeds from to buy food and medical supplies. The Neo-cons could have their cake and tell the Iraqis that they could eat cake too.

     
     

    It’ll be fine at their estate

    What is there, like 100 million guns in this country? Nobody even knows how many there are. Shotguns, handguns, rifles, assault rifles….shit. I don’t think things will be all champagne and tranquility at their estates. If I’m around, I’ll kill several of them before they get me.

     
     

    “What? This? This is just a temporary setback. Rome will rule again, just you wait & see!”

    Save your Roman talents, boys! The South shall rise again!

    What tsam said.

    I was just wondering if any of the rich fucks have yet started considering that getting all the paranoid nutjobs het up about someone (anyone) tryin’ to take away their guns may not have been all that great of an idea, after all.

     
     

    It’s not a great comparison, but the Roman Empire was significantly bigger than the US, at least by some metrics (like say, domination of the known world at the time), and after they ate their own guts, they went down like something that goes down really easy.

    Right… so, shittastic society followed by more but different shittastic society. Problem remains.

    The original fascist nightmare had a happy ending because other democracies were able to beat it to a pulp, rebuild the society that spawned it, and replace it with something better. If we ever went fascist, I’m saying I’m afraid it’d be your Roman Empire scenario and not that one that would play out – no one to beat us down, certainly no one to help us rebuild, and potentially (depending on how much damage we’d do to the rest of the world) no place left safe for democracy. Sure, fascism would collapse eventually, everything does, but even after that, the world it destroyed would still be gone for good, or at least for centuries to come.

     
     

    The cement was to make concrete ducks.

    Kinky.

     
     

    It’s really hard to predict where it would go. There has never been quite the odd balance of power we have now. An emergent China, a resurgent Russia, a Europe that is a complete enigma, and a declining Ultra Mega Super Badass Power who is totally willilng to battle it out for the last of the resources in the world. It’s hard to imagine us not taking everyone else down with us.

    Seems like a global power vacuum is a likely scenario, with the added bonus of NUKES. Yikes. I should shutup now.

     
     

    Sure, fascism would collapse eventually, everything does, but even after that, the world it destroyed would still be gone for good, or at least for centuries to come.

    Sure seems like it. Then again, liberalism might make a huge comeback. It remains to be seen if we let it get too far gone before administering any first aid. It’s a little early to report the demise of USA. Then again, Herman Cain would make a magnificently perfect last American president, yes?

    A woman who has been seeking to inspect President Barack Obama’s original birth certificate has run into another road block. Circuit Court Judge Rhonda Nishimura granted the state’s motion to dismiss a request by Dr. Orly Taitz to see that certificate.

    The state says it has verified that the president’s birth certificate is real. http://www.rumproast.com/

    Florida State Rep. Brad Drake (R-Wackjob) Advocates Execution by Firing Squad

    There’s nothing especially painful about death by firing-squad, and there’s no obvious cost difference compared to usual methods of civilian execution. The reason countries avoid firing squads (and presumably the main attraction for Rep. Brad Drake) is that they are only suitable for a garrison state where every citizen is subject to military discipline

     
     

    That, or perhaps a gun-nut state, S.C.?

    I see state profits!

    $ 5,000.00 to be on the firing squad. Bring your own rifle.

     
     

    “Holy shit! That monkey’s figured out how to work a flamethrower!”

    It’s like you can see into my deepest dreams.

     
     

    Well, the “cool” thing about the firing squad is that no one person can be blamed for killing anybody. It’s democratic!!!11!!!111!

    Also too, it’s a lot faster & more efficient than most other methods.

    But, why fuck around? In China, they do you with a single shot in the back of the head.

    And, when you charge the deceased’s family for the bullet, it adds a lovely taste of poison to the whole procedure!

    Insanity

    Submitted by ljacone on Wed, 10/12/2011 – 4:30pm.

    I love the arrogant insanity of the Left sometimes. Traditional marriage and family, concepts which date back for centuries and have been the building block of civilization, are now “outdated” to the Left in their infinite wisdom. Nevermind the mountains of evidence in support of marriage and family. No, your immediate gratification is paramount; all else is irrelevant.

    Liberals call us “weak,” but instant gratification is easy. Sexual promiscuity and sex with no strings attached is easy (assuming you can get some action). You need condoms? Go ask your teenage neice, she got some for free at school. You forget to take your pill and get pregnant? No problem, we have an abortion clinic ready for you. It’s easy to make yourself happy.

    You know what’s hard? Marriage is HARD. Raising a family is HARD. Which is why Liberals shy away from it or despise it. Your immediate gratification is no longer paramount; by definition someone else must take priority.

    You know the old saying that every generation thinks they are the ones who invented sex? The Left think that they are currently inventing civilization.

    Yes, that’s why rates divorce and teen pregnancy are highest in THE BIBLE BELT. Of course, that’s just liberal influence, right?

    LOL–he said HARD.

The reason countries avoid firing squads (and presumably the main attraction for Rep.

    Too, there were troubling instances of remorse on the part of the prison guards who fired at the prisoner.

    We cannot tolerate empathy in our prisons, dammit!

     
     

    Marriage is HARD. Raising a family is HARD. Which is why Liberals shy away from it or despise it.

    This is why divorce rates in Red States are unfailingly high as compared to Blue States: Liberals hate marriage.

    Wait. What?

     
     

    DAMN YOU, TSAM!

     
     

    And damn me for actually tackling an issue of substance first…

     
     

    Tackling the issue. Heh.

     
     

    And damn me for actually tackling an issue of substance first…

    Jokes before substance, I always say. Wait, no I don’t.

    Never mind.

     
     

    to’ve

    There’s a valid contraction that should be shot in the face with an Italian ladies’ shotgun.
    .

     
     

    Too, there were troubling instances of remorse on the part of the prison guards who fired at the prisoner.

    At one time they got randomly selected with blanks or a live bullet, with the assumption that a guy who lined up and fired the weapon wouldn’t feel the recoil of an actual bullet and thus never be sure if he fired the fatal shot or not.

    It didn’t work.

     
     

    to’ve

    When prounounced “tuv”, it sounds fine.

     
     

    Traditional marriage and family, concepts which date back for centuries and have been the building block of civilization, are now “outdated” to the Left in their infinite wisdom.

    Wow, SOMEbody really wants to fuck his brother’s widow.

     
     

    When prounounced “tuv”, it sounds fine.

    Oh, sure — and it’s perfectly valid, as far as that goes. Still, it reads like something the cat yakked up.
    .

     
     

    And damn me for actually tackling an issue of substance first…

    Woof, that is HOT.

     
     

    Still, it reads like something the cat yakked up.

    Come to think of it, I HAVE heard Larry the Cable Guy using that contraction.

    It is hereby banned.

     
     

    Woof, that is HOT.

    Have I shown you my etchings?

     
     

    It is hereby banned

    To’ve been, or not to’ve been.

     
     

    The Left think that they are currently inventing civilization.

    Ha, no, just working against the forces working to destroy it while claiming to be conserving it.

    Also, am I a bad person because I laughed that the details of Drake’s desire to bring back the electric chair was published in something called “The Current?”

     
     

    Have I shown you my etchings?

    I figured you as more a one for frottage.

     
     

    I’m almost proud to say I had to Google “frottage”. I didn’t particularly like what I saw.

     
     

    damn you, N_B. every time I visit The Devil’s Dictionary I end up spending way too much time there.

     
     

    I figured you as more a one for frottage.

    It’s more trompe l’oeil than etchings, actually.

     
     

    Also, am I a bad person because I laughed that the details of Drake’s desire to bring back the electric chair was published in something called “The Current?”

    This got a chuckle from me as well. Also, “The Current” also goes well with Drake’s other suggestion of just throwing people of the Sunshine Skyway bridge.

     
     

    I’m almost proud to say I had to Google “frottage”. I didn’t particularly like what I saw.

    Really?

     
     

    Also: GO FUCK YOURSELF, POLITICO

    The tea party’s swift counteroffensive — which is remarkably similar to the left’s response to the fledgling conservative movement when it burst onto the scene in 2009 — suggests that the onetime rag-tag operation has matured and feels the need to protect its reputation as the nation’s leading grass-roots protest movement.

    No, it’s not similar in the least. And no, that operation hasn’t matured and there was nothing grass-roots about it. Also, I’ve had just about enough of that bullshit term, grass-roots. It’s irritating.

    Yes, the teabaggers DO want to crush this movement now, because they know what the scoreboard is going to look like when it’s over. You have to be a billionaire or a fucking moron to be in the Tea Party. That’s far from a majority in this country. Morons seem to be gaining ground, however.

     
     

    WHAT THE FUCK? REMARKABLY SIMILAR? ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING? TSAM MAD!

     
     

    LOL–further definitions of frottage, according to Wiki.

    I can see how rubbing someone’s dirty bits might might be traumatic. I WEPT AND WEPT when I found out. Mother soothed me. She’s up in the attic now, want to say hi?

     
     

    That, or perhaps a gun-nut state

    Firing squads are vicarious penis enlargement for Drake.

     
     

    Also: GO FUCK YOURSELF, POLITICO

    What’s really weird is, the Teabaggers are the ones getting their panties in a knot because….one OWS protestor said they were “part tea party”. Not “We’re going to knock them off their (ed note bought and paid for) mantle” or “We’re the true tea party”

    Only that OWS is inclusive of anyone who hates the patent unfairness of the American economy. Which would normally include Teabaggers if they actually stopped yammering long enough to think about it.
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .

    OK, I think I see the problem….

     
     

    Shit, I haven’t been down there in a while. I ought to make a point to attend more often! And bring my etchings!

     
     

    TSAM MAD!

    umm…”tsam smash puny Politico?”

     
     

    umm…”tsam smash puny Politico?”

    Seriously, man. “remarkably similar”? How fucking insulting is that?

     
     

    So you come across something like this and you think, easy, just root for injuries. But wait a moment…

    “When theological differences are demonized by the faithful of any religion—never mind by a clergyman—it makes a mockery of their own religion.”

    “Any religion”? I genuinely try not to gratuitously mock people’s religions (I fail sometimes, I’m human – just as some God’s allegedly intended), but thanks to Bill Donahue I now can wait for the religious douchies to mock themselves? Okay then.

     
     

    damn you, N_B. every time I visit The Devil’s Dictionary I end up spending way too much time there.

    Check out Bierce’s definition of “architect” and you have the story of my life.

     
     

    Mother soothed me. She’s up in the attic now, want to say hi?

    Now I’m stuck with the mental image of Norman’s-mother goatse.

     
     

    Small aircraft and commercial airplanes are releasing massive amounts of chemicals in the air, creating an atmosphere of subduement, and confusion; affecting cloud cumulations and precipitation; and altering memory retention. The air contamination must cease.

    The use of word transpositioning and electronic messaging with the use of various newer spyware and communication technologies in conjunction with the synchatron is creating forcefields of pressure in the atmosphere. Due to the efforts of many information technologies specialists, physicists and other talented individuals, the effects of these technologies has been minimized. Rapid increases in air pressure within flight paths and air tunnels is a public hazard, and puts passengers and flight personnel at risk. Wind tunnels force flight paths, forcing stop-overs, and creating influx’s in certain areas. Murderers and abducted persons are being sent to Saskatoon, Canada, steadily, daily.

    Surgeries, procedures, disguises, alias, and fraudulent documentation are being utilized at borders and stations. Displacement and abductions contribute to mass confusion, and the evasion of culpability of terrorists.

    The Pacific Army therefore recommends all nations consider no-fly zones for some areas. Airport, train and border security have the technologies, such as retinal scans that eliminate the possibility of fraudulent activity. Unfortunately, there is complicity at security levels. We, The Pacific Army encourage all racial-profiling activity to cease and desist.

    This is a state of emergency.

    The sattelites need to come down, now.

    There will be a world wide iniative to prevent the escape of criminals. They will be grounded, there will be mass arrests at this time. The time needs to be soon.

    Sincerely, Jenny and my twin, AKA Ashley or Steven, but that’s not his real name, on behalf of The Pacific Army.

     
     

    LOL–finally leveling the Soros accusations

    So because Soros said something a little encouraging about the Canadian group, and gave a few bucks to another organization who funded (not necessarily Soros’) money to Adbusters, tens of thousands of people suddenly got off their asses in America (where Adbusters has been effectively banned, I should add) and started protesting?

    As opposed to, say, the Koch brothers building FreedomWorks under the auspices of Dick Armey and the entire GOP?

    1) I geniunely try to mock all religions with an equal amount of mockery I throw at the people on TV telling me about ghosts in their attics and flying saucers probing their anuses. It is very sanctimonious of me, I admit it. Perhaps someday I’ll find some fucks to give.

    B) Bill Donahue talking about someone else being nasty and mocking….let’s see DOES NOT COMPUTE. He’s among the worst of them. When I think I’m too angry and stupid, I load up some Youtube of Donahue talking about stuff and feel much better. Life’s not so bad, I’m not him.

    If they do, I haven’t seen ’em. There is this from Down Under.

    “The left is trying to create a counter force to the tea party, but it’s almost laughable that anyone is comparing the two, because they’re totally different,” said Sal Russo, chief strategist for the Tea Party Express.

    Hmmmmmmm.

    Teabaggers = probably planned during the 2008 election if not earlier, heavy Astroturf up the wazoo, nearly everything they say is laughably wrong, overwhelmingly old, actually just the Religious Right hiding Jeebus behind a tricorner hat, support fading away by the minute, not popular AT ALL.

    OWS = Wall Street demos were planned but the epic crowds (& the massive outbreak of “OCCUPY” demos throughout North America) are obviously spontaneous, real grassroots, a huge list of grievances – nearly all of which are dead-right, overwhelmingly young or middle-aged, speading like wildfire, popular as free blowjobs.

    I see his point.

     
     

    you’re right actor…i just found them…

     
     

    I suppose it’s not surprising, but eating salty licorice apparently is a YouTube meme. There’s even one video where teh candy makes a little boy run away from home. Probably for teh best considering teh child abuse and all.

    What struck me about the “EEEK BITCHES AIN’T MARRYIN'” link is that they basically took a news station fluff story (usual accuracy on these is usually somewhere near Tea Party manifesto levels) and basically just buys it wholesale in complete freakout.

    Oh my word, a news station is filling some time so they don’t have to talk about OWS by doing the usual “bitches aren’t getting married enough” angle but with an extra level of “we’re not even judging because we don’t want the women to get upset and turn off the tv and start surfing the net” and this equals “Eek, no woman will ever marry again, singleness is a direct dagger at the heart of traditional marriage and the end of the universe. Also feminazis are stealing my balls and men have become irrelevant”

    I mean, talk about all of your self esteem being tied into the patriarchy. I wonder how this fucker reacts to the “new trend” of women marrying women.

    Also, wow, way to be an over-trusting idiot. It’s a media fluff piece and he reacts to it completely without an analytical bone in his body. I imagine him watching TV instantly buying the world of each commercial as it happens: “I do need estrogen pills because my period has been irregular at best! Why yes, my hair isn’t as shiny as I would want, good point TV, it’s probably those bitches fault for draining my precious bodily fluids.”

    re: teh 53.

    Is Irksome part of teh 53? Here’s an LGM post.

    Irksome is claiming that his radio gig and CNN job are very modest. RedState may bring in some bucks, but I imagine that it also serves as an excellent excuse for him to write off a shitload of expenses. His mortgage interest deductions alone are probably in teh neighbourhood of $25K.

    Considering how much stock he puts into teh importance of paying personal federal income tax, maybe he should show us his 1040 amount owing. And teh long form vault copy too.

    SHUT THE FUCK UP

    “DONNY” implied.
    .

     
     

    I actually liked Necco wafers. I was a weird kid.

     
     

    On the teabagger response to OWS, I’m loving it.

    The pose when the masters have been selling the teabaggers to moderates has always been “oh, these isn’t an astroturf of racist KKK members who are freaking out about the first black president and will attack any liberal group we tell them to, they are just a bunch of concerned citizens angry about the bailout of Wall Street”.

    This despite the fact that they regularly come on the side of the rich and powerful on every issue, because, a-duh, those are the forces fronting the bills and bussing the 17 people to stand in a line and be hyped up on the media as the second coming of Jesus.

    And now a real genuine populist response to Wall Street has happened and the Teabaggers have to be mobilized in opposition and there’s just no way to spin that as anything other than being the hired stooges of the rich. Yes, they hate Wall Street so much they run to their aid at the first sign of resistance. Truly the real populist response in action.

    Also, this makes me wonder if one of the points was to try and discourage things like OWS, by making the idea of being a “populist group angered by Wall Street” look like a terrible idea because then people might confuse you with the racist psychotics in the Tea Party if you claimed those were your main goals. Sure, you can rise up against us, but people might think you are a teabagger, so best to just stay home and impotently stew.

    I agree with Necco wafers. Yum!

    BUT OMG CHECK THE WIKIPEDIA!

    The ingredients in Necco Wafers are sugar, corn syrup, gelatin (an animal by-product), gums, colorings, and flavorings.[2] They are commonly known as the favourite candy of the extremely elderly or those suffering from dementia[citation needed] .

    A lot of this kind of populist rage is unfocused, primal and generally pointed at “people in power” in general, so, I think the teabagger idea there was to pre-empt OWS by co-opting enough of that general anger at the powerful and redirecting it onto Obama and the Democrats (not too hard since they were the ones running the White House and both houses of government).

    Not their only purpose in politics, but in regards to post-2008 populism I think that’s what it was.

    so the teabaggers rode the bus Dick Armey chartered, or they drove the Suburban downtown to the Teabagger protest site; they brought their scooters or their folding lawnchairs, hoisted their sign-shop-made signs and stood in front of Fox News cameras (summoned by press releases sent out by Freedom Works or Teabaggrs R US) for a couple of hours, then packed it all into the bus bay or the back of the SUV, and went back to their gated communities.

    OWS has been camping out for 3 weeks, 24/7, sleeping under tarps and on broken-down carboard boxes.

    and the worst the Teabaggers can throw at them is “Ew, those people are using McDonald’s toilets!”

But of you’re careful you can pour teh shot completely into your mouth whilst it is still flaming and not do severe personal or proerty damage. For that to work, you gotta do it before teh glass gets too hot, so not that much hooch burns off.

    Who would fuck up salt with licorice, anyway? Sick bastids.

    As for undrinkable liquor, can’t believe no one has mentioned Jagermeister. With the licorice too.

    And another thing…I’ve had it with that stupid “voted the best vodka of 2033.” O rly? Ok, fine, motherfucker…we’ll just let it age until 2033, because according to what you just said, nobody’s voting it “best vodka of NOW” which means it SUUUUUUCKS.

     
     

    As for undrinkable liquor, can’t believe no one has mentioned Jagermeister.

    It tastes just like Vicks Formula 44 cough syrup. They may not even make that shit, anymore.
    .

     
     

    Jagermeister. *sigh* Heinie and a Jager was my standard order at Zeno’s, back in the day. I don’t think I could keep a shot down these days.

    As for undrinkable liquor, can’t believe no one has mentioned Jagermeister.

    OMG AGREED. Of course every amateur douche in UFC clothes has to do shots of Jaeger and insists that I do them too. I don’t DO shots, however, unless I’m trying to go to sleep. Jaeger is disgusting and so is black licorice.

    Black licorice is one of two things I cannot eat. The other is coconut. BLECHHH

    I got talked into doing shots of Jaeger at the Officer’s Club once when we were on a deployment.

    I recall crawling back to my room on my lips and it’s all a blank after that.

     
     

    Jagermeister is made from surplus stocks of Vick’s Formula 44, apparently, fortified with formaldehyde, pig piss and cobra venom, if flavor and effect are anything to go by.

    I have some very fond, embarassing and mercifully vague memories of my last encounter with Jagermeister, about 16 years ago. Never again.

Man I love that stuff! I pick up a bag or 2 every time I’m somewhere that sells it, and I know it’s completely safe to have lying around, because absolutely no one else in my family can stand it, including the dog, and he eats poop!

     
     

    As I recall, any sort of name brand candy bar like Mounds was a welcome addition to my Halloween pumpkin basket.

    More on candy (which I shouldn’t eat): I like regular black licorice quite well, just not the salted stuff. I like Neccos, even the “chocolate” ones. And I like those weird Mary Jane taffy-with-peanut-butter-inside things.

    Oh, I got the flavor of it, and it was fer shit. I’ll go stand in the corner and enjoy my Jaegermeister and other licorice flavored booze. I got no problem with them.

    …wait, VS hasn’t been banned?

     
     

    Is it too late to talk about candy? My beau has gotten into ice cream making. He’s made a lemon sorbet and two vanilla ice creams—one with whipping cream and one with heavy cream. For the second batch of vanilla I made a caramel sauce, a fudge sauce, and busted a lot of nuts. We got a can of whipped cream and a jar of maraschino cherries. I made some really bitchin’ turtle sundaes.

    Next experiment will be my personal fave—coffee and heath bars. We have a Colombian blend and a bag of Heath (Halloween is just on time). Once we perfect that, I’m going to buy some toffee bars from See’s candy to make a drop dead delicious version of my favorite ice cream. Then we can experiment with different coffees and different toffees.

    I love dairy. I love ice cream. I love this man. I love him like the sun.

     
     

    Yeah? Ok. So it’s between the pitchforks/torches and the guillotine.

    Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan is from Sim City? (What’s going to happen when Cain discovers post-8 bit graphics? A while back, he ended a debate by quoting from Pokemon 2000. I’m not looking forward to him playing, oh, Halo.)

    …When asked about similarities between Cain’s plan and SimCity’s default tax rates, Cain campaign spokesman JD Gordon replied, “Well, we all like 9-9-9.”…

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/13/herman-cain-999-sim-city_n_1008952.html

     
     

    9-9-9 sounds more like some kinda pizza deal promotion to me. Like, 3 medium pizzas X 3 toppings each for $9.99.

    Only problem is, that leaves out the crazy bread. And with Herman Cain, you gotta leave room for the crazy.

     
     

    Also, too: YAY! My monopoly banker guillotine graphic is gonna get seen by some people in meatspace!

     
     

    What’s meatspace?

     
     

    From OWS’s Facebook page:

    We just want to remind everyone that Occupy Wall St. is for the 99%! Each and every one of you is included! Many people are concerned that this is becoming a strictly left-wing movement. That just is not true. Remember, this is not about pushing a specific political standpoint, it is about discussion between all of us. This is not an “us” vs. “them,” this is everyone working together to make life better.

    Nice.

     
     

    While chartreuse and galliano rate for awfulness I think the worst booze I’ve had (other than back alley Asian arracks) was a kind of Chinese gin flavored with little caper like perfume berries, maybe what they dry to make Sichuan peppercorns. Instagag. Of heroic awfulness.

    Liquorish and salty? I’m that most nights.

     
     

    Worst liquor experience for me was Mescal and a worm. It may have killed every brain cell associated with remembering the experience, but I could not forget the aftermath. It was strictly beer, weed, and wine for this woman for the next twenty years. A few years ago I developed an interest in vodka and juices, but had to cut that out because it doesn’t mix well with morphine and oxycodone and grapefruit doesn’t mix well with Copaxone.

    I miss it a little.

    sniff

     
     

    Whats meatspace?

    The real world as opposed to cyberspace.

    Also, too, an occasional fan of anisette based liquors, ( had a buudy growing up who was Greek and turned me on to ouzo. Also a fan of Necca wafers, (not surprisingly a strange bird as well), lover of Chartruese, and Laphroig.

    Can’t stand Cilantro (possibly missing interperative alleele) as it tastes like joy diswashing detergent, and I’d rather my food did not taste like soap.

    Have I shared too much.

    BTB the thread has been a great read…Thanks to all!

    ps. Tsam I am down with the guillotine.

    Ahem. Someone (cawn’t be arsed) already linked that, maybe last thread, & it wasn’t me; even though I used to go out w/ a dame whose husband “grew up” w/ those boys.

     
     

    Mmmm. Smoked opium once in Germany (in an Air Force dorm on an Army post), and it felt so damned good that I knew as much as I’ve ever known anything that I would never. smoke it. again. Never.

     
     

    Jim, great links. I loved the Limbaugh statement set against the background of a WWII veteran pushing his walker in a march. Bless his heart. I love that generation—so democratic, and pro-social. I used to love old people and I thought I just loved old people until “old people” suddenly meant bitter fundamentalists cranks who appreciate nothing and bitch about everything.

    At the Veteran’s Hospital and on the shuttle on the way up to it a WWII veteran is always appreciated by all and encouraged to tell stories. Boy, do they tell stories well! A generation that appreciated conversation and questions, and knew how to entertain itself.

     
     

    My mom’s husband is a WWII veteran – Battle of the Bulge. He turned 90 in July. And he’s a staunch Democrat.

     
     

    Ahem. Someone (cawn’t be arsed) already

    Dude, it’s not like I don’t already post the same thing as you three hours later. Accept that I am a slowpoke!

     
     

    My grandma turned 95 this year and is also a staunch democrat.

    I used to work for some elderly ladies who had been working with each other and their husbands forming unions in textile mills in the South, Ford in Dallas, and were pioneers in head start. When I met them l all their husbands had died and they were working in the Gray Panthers—“GRRRR, on the prowl!”

    It’s hard to express how honored I feel to have known them and to have cleaned their houses, tended their yards, and often helped one get dressed for yet another dear old friend’s funeral. They were committed people and real friends.

     
     

    Still another hour before the bread is done and I can sleep. Stop me before I reminisce again.

     
     

    O.K. Stop. But a better hypnotic suggestion would be positive—think only of the present or future. All is well. When the bread is done you can sleep.

     
     

    Yeah? Ok. So it’s between the pitchforks/torches and the guillotine.

    Any votes?

    I think we’re forgetting a third option, very classical– just ask Marcus Licinius Crassus.

    Not to mention that there’s several orifices available to use…

     
     

    So. Y’all have had some bad tasting booze, you think? Feh.

    God knows why, but my parents had a bottle of this stashed away under the bar.

    It is the nastiest stuff you could ever put in your mouth.

    It’s made, by God, out of artichokes.

     
     

    Local organic spelt, house levain, it’s bread worth staying up for. I’ll cut you a slice wiley, choice of spreads, all ours; honey, peach or beach plum jam, pate (no diacritical marks on iPhone) but it’s fancy liver, of course there’s really good butter, just typing on the phone makes the hours melt away

     
     

    Haven’t kilt a fred in a while but it seems easy.

     
     

    Plum jam?! Plum jam?! I love plum jam. Can’t find any in this freakish town and it chaps my ass no end. Why haven’t I looked for some on-line and had it delivered to me (I ask myself this right now and have no answer but “do it”)? Love it on biscuits especially but it’s great on home-made toasted bread.

    I’d offer you some of this coffee heath bar ice cream, but it would melt. I just tasted the cream/coffee mixture before it went into the fridge to cool overnight and I was immediately reminded of the scene in “Pulp Fiction” where Uma Thermon ‘s character snorted a line of coke and exclaimed,
    Goddam! Goddam! Goddam!” I said it just like she did and it was quite sincere.

    Coffee—the drug I can’t do without.

     
     

    Dude, it’s not like I don’t already post the same thing as you three hours later. Accept that I am a slowpoke!

    Pls. don’t call me “dude,” man.

    Anyway, it was mostly an excuse to name-drop at three or four degrees of separation. Oddly enough, no one was impressed.

     
     

    Smoked opium once in Germany (in an Air Force dorm on an Army post), and it felt so damned good that I knew as much as I’ve ever known anything that I would never. smoke it. again. Never.

    Smoked opiated hash (An American soldier on leave shared some.) in Paris, & was barely able to walk home, where I slept for 13 hrs.

    However, it was Demerol (in a hospital after surgery) that convinced me to stay away from heroin if ever offered, however. Not that I needed that much persuasion not to become a junkie.

     
     

    Yeah. I learned enough from being addicted to nicotine to know that I really didn’t need the indignity of being addicted to a street drug. Swore off chemicals in the eighties and so never bothered with any of the designer drugs. I had to have friends explain to me the behaviors of people on Quaaludes or Ecstasy—drugs wasn’t my first guess. I was completely thrown by the people at the deli who deliberated for half an hour and couldn’t make up their minds what to order and all the loving friends I never knew I had who were popping out of the woodwork at clubs.

    What was wrong about the Demerol? I’ve never been knocked out for surgery, though it’s been tried. I went home and slept for 14 hours after the surgery.

     
     

    Now I am reminded I have a whole bunch of Tylenol with codeine around that I haven’t abused yet. What is my problem? I mean, if one of my livers fails I’ve got another, right?

     
    McGravitas' kidneys
     

    Do you wanna tell him or should I?

     
     

    No wonder Belial is grumpty if Substance is using him as an organ donor.

     
     

    I convinced my doc to switch from hydrocodone to oxycodone because it gave me the creeps. Tylenol never did anything for me anyway and those damage stats are based on some average liver, not mine. I’ve been a caregiver for a liver transplant candidate/recipient and don’t even want to risk going there. It’s a horrible way to live and die.

    If I get high on any this shit I haven’t noticed and like almost everyone I ever talked to who took morphine for pain, I hate it but not as much as I hate the pain.

    I take morphine, oxycodeine, and amitryptaline at night it and doesn’t even make me drowsy.

     
     

    Nothing bad about the Demerol at all. Woke up from having a vein pulled from my leg (seven incisions, crotch to ankle) & not only felt no pain but was ecstatic. I felt so damn good I realized mere psychological addiction would be as bad as any physical addiction that might develop later.

    Just don’t drink while taking the Tylenol, kidneys.

     
     

    Yeah…………….a friend of mine was in the hospital dying of AIDS some years back. One of the last times I went to see him, he wasn’t able to talk, but he scrawled out a little note for me:

    DEMEROL IS GOD

    Ok, will let you off RWW, sounds like you have never tasted the good stuff. Brother got me a 1968 for my b’day last year, and its one of the smoothest drinks you can imagine.

    If you ever get the chance, try some of this little tipple. No mixers, no ice, straight up… fantastic. Am going to have to hide it from the wife, though!

    Picture of random dude’s asscheeks laid upon a police car is not proof of pooping on said vehicle. Nor is any proof offered of affiliation of Mr Butt-rub with the protest.

    Didn’t I read that Jimmy O’Keefe made an appearance at some point?
    .

     
     

    I take morphine, oxycodeine, and amitryptaline at night it and doesn’t even make me drowsy.
    I am informed that if you take a fortnight’s dosage of amitryptaline and wash it down with a fifth of Famous Grouse then you may well attempt to climb a bookshelf under the impression that it is a stairway to heaven, then shut yourself in your room and be unable to find the door to let yourself out again, then pass out for 48 hours. Or your heart goes into fibrillation and you die. Whichever comes first.

     
     

    Didn’t I read that Jimmy O’Keefe made an appearance at some point?

    Followed by about four OWS protestors with cameras, recording his every step, yes.

     
     

    Picture of random dude’s asscheeks laid upon a police car is not proof of pooping on said vehicle.

    This is one case where I will take the photographers word at face value for it. Still, it’s one protestor and who’s to say he wasn’t really sick that day and just found a convenient curb, which had the misfortune of being next to a cop car?

     
     

    So a guy took a shit on a curb. That says precisely nothing about what is going on at OWS. I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

     
     

    Occupy occupies LEAFS SUCK’s financial district starting tomorrow (yes it is very Canadian to wait until teh week-end so that our anti-corporate protests don’t interfere with teh work week). Teh sucky part is that teh financial district is on Sunday’s Waterfront Marathon route. While this is valid since LEAFS SUCK’s Waterfront Marathon is primarily sponsored by Scotiabank, teh sucky part is that this event brings a couple million in for local charities annually.

    In other LEAFS SUCK news – we are ever so much a precious and quaint little town. For context, Yonge and Dundas is pretty much smack downtown. Teh new open public space at teh south west corner of the intersection is supposed to be “LEAFS SUCK’s Times Square.” Note also that teh transit stoppage and total messing up of traffic started a few minutes before 5 PM.

     
     

    Dear Tsam,

    I am, ahem, so sorry.

    Ugh. South east corner. Teh south west corner is teh Eatons Centre.

     
     

    Oh, come on, tsam. It says everything. Now those teatards who gleefully screamed at the dude with Parkinsons? Naw, that’s totally cool, bra.

     
     

    Talking to your bra is okay, but if it talks back you’re in trouble.

     
     

    Tintin, Thers mentioned your name

    TinTin is Thers? I thought he was that Karl Ehmerson or what have you…

    BTW, the London Stock Exchange is scheduled (pronounced shed-jeweled) to be occupied this weekend

    And it looks like fighting’s broke out on Wall Street…I hope the food I just dropped off is OK.

     
     

    Talking to your bra is okay, but if it talks back you’re in trouble.

    I’ve had boobies give me an earful about motorboating.

     
     

    Talking to someone else’s bra is also okay, as long as you maintain eye contact.

    How YOU doin’?

    And you?

     
     

    9-9-9 sounds more like some kinda pizza deal promotion to me.

    Sounds like a Smut date with a German lady.

     
     

    I think it was Jon Stewart (can’t be arsed) who compared Rick Perry’s situation to being in a porno movie: suddenly, for no apparent reason, a pizza guy shows up and fucks you…

     
     

    We are all Tintin.

    LOL! I have to drop an FTW on that one.

     
     

    Since mocking the tea party is always on topic here, I thought I’d share a flyer I got in the mail a couple of days ago.

    Here in Virginia, we are gearing up for a bunch of state elections next month. I got a flyer with the Republican candidate on it, that listed a couple of endorsements from the leadership of the Tea Party Express. I was about to throw it out when I noticed the small print “Paid for by the VA State Democratic Party”

    Apparently, the Dem’s numbers are showing that the tea party is toxic enough that their endorsement would hurt a candidate in the purple portions of Virginia

     
     

    Hydrocodone actually makes me speedy.

    Has anyone mentioned Jeppson’s Malort yet?

    I think we should make “Nein! Nein! Nein!” an Internet tradition.

    Jeppson’s Malort

    I don’t care which duck or who’s fucking it.

     
     

    Bloomberg backs off, and uses the back door

    Yes, but fighting has broken out this morning Scroll up.

     
     

    From a comment on Wonkette:

    Friend of mine spent the day at Zucotti yesterday. Some of his observations:

    “Yesterday was clearly “hygiene day.” It seems that Mayor Bloomberg and the park’s owners (A Real Estate holding company) decided that the Park was dirty and had to be professionally cleaned. Total bullshit. The occupiers are cleaning the park continually. I almost died laughing when I saw this dreaded dude polishing a metal trash can with a spray bottle, scrub brush and towel. THIS ONE PARTICULAR CITY BLOCK IS CLEANER THAN ALMOST ANY OTHER CITY BLOCK IN TOWN.”
    “It would seem that if the mayor is concerned about health and hygiene issues down there he might send down a few port-o-cans. There are ZERO….NADA…ZILCH….anywhere. The protesters (and beer infused visitors like me) have to rely on the generosity of the neighborhood businesses. There is a McDonald’s close by that is getting quite a bit of use….me twice!. Other businesses have also opened their doors to the protesters and by first hand account these facilities are also being kept very clean. I’ve been in a lot worse bathrooms at rock shows.”

    The ‘clean the park’ excuse is just that.

    Or as I asked the other day, “You know who else got rid of problems via cleansing?”

    T&U appears to be having a bad “spell”

     
     

    The ‘clean the park’ excuse is just that.

    In fairness, I don’t think the protestors would mind what was originally proposed, which was a staged cleaning, where portions of the park would be cleared and cleaned, while people remained in the other parts. The talk around here was this was a doable arrangement for the OWS crowd.

     
     

    I think we should make “Nein! Nein! Nein!” an Internet tradition.

    Party of Nein!

    Yeah, that’s pretty fucking awesome.

    I….I….can I have your baby?

     
     

    Friend of mine spent the day at Zucotti yesterday. Some of his observations:

    First hand observation vs UK Daily Mail link above describing “filth” (though most of the pictures of the “filth” are either stuff piled neatly around full garbage cans, just like the pictures used to prove how clean the saintly teabaggers were, or are piles of rolled sleeping bags etc, i.e. NOT TRASH) Hmm, who to believe, who to believe…

     
     

    I….I….can I have your baby?

    Sure, I’m not going to finish it.

     
     

    Hmm, who to believe, who to believe…

    Oh, well, clearly the Daily Mail…

    I’m with whoever it was upthread who doesn’t buy that picture of a dood “pooping” on a squad car. Alls I can see is some guy mooning a police car, and since I can’t see the plates or the city markings on the car, I can’t even be sure it’s an NYPD car. Whoever originally posted this as an example of the protestors being dirty and ill-behaved should have taken the time to photoshop in a turd if they wanted us to believe it is what they say it is. I mean, does anyone really believe that if somene shit on a squad car that the NYPD wouldn’t be out there making a huge stink (heh) about it? There’s been nary a peep from NYPD, which tells me there’s no poop-smeared cruiser.

    Mooning a police car is rude, to be sure, but hardly unhygienic, and overall much more civil than spraying penned, unarmed protestors who aren’t resisting anything with pepper spray..

     
     

    Oh my, I never expected the toe-sucking to spread to over here. I thought it was quarantined over at my place.

    It’s a police car. It’s been checked with the precinct listed in the photo (61st, in Brooklyn I think).

    Side note – The entire Notre Dame football team just walked by. It was Notre Dame College out of Ohio though, they are in town to play college football powerhouse Ave Maria University. Fortunately I have to work tomorrow and can’t go.

    Bet they rely a lot on Hail mary passes.

    The school was founded by the Dominoes Pizza guy, so their whole football strategy is to try to deliver to the end zone in thirty minutes or less.

     
     

    Wow.

    Leave it to a couple of Indians to “get” OWS.

     
     

    so their whole football strategy is to try to deliver to the end zone in thirty minutes or less.

    So they’re good for only two touchdowns a game? What happens in between quarters when they have to turn the car around?

    Hey, I didn’t say it was a good strategy. So far they are only averaging one touchdown per game.

     
     

    Back to politics: I just got caught up on last nights Rachel Maddow show. Apparently the Republicans are extremely adament that no fetus should be denied the opportunity to join the ranks of the unemployed.
