Snazzy new threads!

If abortion had been legal in 1955, you tootsie-frootsie liberals wouldn’t have your precious little iPads.*

But, there would be millions fewer unemployed people to worry about!

And as it aplies better to this post, I will bring this forward from the bottom of the previous thread:

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.

You can still smell the Febreze.

If abortion were legal, literally no-one would ever be born. Because abortion is so much fun, presumably.

The issue of disposing of large numbers of conceived but unborn people involves practical as well as moral considerations.

Like “Is the dumpster big enough?”

paedobear-pope?

Um … abortion is currently legal (though the day ain’t over yet).

Thus, using Conrad “I’m Mad As Hell The President Is” Black’s logic (to use the term loosely), no one should have been born since Woe v. Wade became settled law.

Or is there perhaps a flaw in his line of reasoning … ?

“My purpose is not to reopen the vexed abortion debate”

…now let me write twelve more paragraphs full of purple bullshit that can’t begin to cover the stench of my misogyny and stupidity.

Given the trend of recent population growth it amuses scares me that anyone thinks that the problem is that too few babies are being born.

Thus, using Conrad “I’m Mad As Hell The President Is” Black’s logic (to use the term loosely), no one should have been born since Woe v. Wade became settled law.

Nobody has been born. All the people around you are just hallucinations brought on by your desperate loneliness.

Did we ever find out what was in teh file boxes Conrad spirited out of his office?

I’m honestly surprised you were fifth, Substance. When I saw the subject of this post I wondered if the hairs on the back of your neck stood up.

Ha ha.

To move the inquiry that Ms. Dowd usefully started to entirely secular matters, there could be searching questions about why the Supreme Court has sat like a great suet pudding for decades while the Bill of Rights has been raped by the prosecution service with the connivance of the legislators, a tri-branch travesty against the civil rights of the whole population, but I will spare readers another dilation on that subject.

Why does Conrad Black have such a problem with prosecutors? I mean, what’s the deal?

An awesome comment follows the article:

Hee heee. Actual not-made-up quote:

If Steve Jobs, who has been rightly claimed to have been one of the great commercial and marketing geniuses of world history, had been conceived ten years later, in 1965, or after, his parents would have been aggressively counseled to abort him.

Uh, no Conrad. Teh fascist state coercers only bust out teh aggressive pro-abortion counselling for women you sleep with.

Fun game: Speculate that the second coming of Jesus ended in an abortion. That’s a sure recipe for loads and loads of LOLZ and whatnot.

Ahem,

Shouldn’t we be referring to him as “Convicted criminal Conrad Black?”

Whooo, dizzying. That Conrad Black sure does liek to scramble up what he says. Clarity isn’t his strong suit.

Anyways, if you read teh whole thing, it’s actually an attack on teh SCOTUS, and Nino specifically. It’s full of weird-ass crap that makes no sense at all (liek there being no incentives to have children for example), but his actual point seems to be teh following Shorter:

Lord Black of Crossharbour, convicted felon, am disappoint that not a single branch of teh US Government is falling over themselves to bring about Teh New Conrad Order.

Ah well Lord Black, I suppose good help is hard to find these days.

Heh. Many of the right’s heroes are convicted criminals. They still think Oliver North is not made entirely of POOP. Conservatives. Always eating POOP, thinking it’s Good Ol FREEDOM AND SUCH.

From brown people? I doubt it.

Alternate Conrad: It sure is fun writing a column entirely in hypotheticals! That way no one can prove that I’m an idiot.

One of the great characters:

I was the Editor of The Times when it was in the fiercest commercial competition with the Black interests. And, if only for that reason, I have never drunk his fine wines or shared his dining table or corporate jet. The last words I recall us exchanging were at a particularly tight moment of the 1990’s newspaper price war when he whispered to me at a party given by Lord Weidenfeld: ‘what you and Rupert (Murdoch) don’t understand is just how rich I am’.

Lord Black’s conversion is described at length in some article that I cannot find which is probably my eyes acting in their own best interests. His writing is crap. For one who is such a parasite on the lower orders his attitude is no surprise. It would be funny to read what he thinks heaven will be like for him, I’d say it would not be a simple life of devotion.

From AK’s link:

Steyn expressed dismay at “the procedural advantages the prosecution enjoys—the inducements it’s able to dangle in order to turn witnesses that, if offered by the defence, would be regarded as the suborning of perjury; or the confiscation of assets intended to prevent an accused person from being able to mount a defence;

I’d be willing to bet that you wouldn’t have to look very hard to find an article in which Steyn decries the protections our justice system provides for the accused. Like for example terrorism suspects or just brown people in general.

I suppose it was only a matter of time after T&U showed up that talk would turn to Royal Weddings.

What a pretentious fuck

Do you use the gold leaf condom for that?

A comment from T&U’s link:

We didn’t see the incident happen so none of us know who was at fault- with this amount of scrutiny and television coverage on the cops, I highly doubt that this police officer ran over the protester’s leg on purpose. This is the type of thing that happens when you protest in the streets and block others from going about their daily business. Folks get hurt.

:O

Substance,
I don’t understand the Boy Staunton reference. I did follow your link and read the wikipedia article in its entirety. Who is, in the Conrad Black case, Boy Staunton? If it’s Conrad Black, why are you associating the two? Perhaps I don’t know enough about the Conrad Black case to see the parallel.

Oops.

Oh dear. Based on previous experiences with vehicles and protestors, this is not going to go over well for the NYPD.

Clickthrough to teh Gawker link:

Video of the NYPD running over a National Lawyer’s Guild legal observer’s leg with a scooter,,,

I responded to that clown:

Oh yes, because the police have never used excessive force or brutalized the innocent or …

Is there any indication that people are being “blocked from going about their daily business?” And if their “daily business” is screwing working people, shouldn’t they be blocked from going about it?

The LAPD has beaten a few Critical Massers as well.

As Critical Mass was making it’s way east along Hollywood Blvd. (near Highland Ave.) to end the ride they were met with a contingent of LAPD Officers armed with batons kicking and tackling cyclists off their bikes. Officers drove squad cars into the crowd of riders. Some cyclists were even stopped in their tracks and flung from their bike with a baton stuck in the spokes (a la Breaking Away). These cyclists were then brutalized, handcuffed and then cited for small infractions such as no lights or not obeying traffic laws. From the video above you can see that cyclists were taking the lane legally, riding slowly; it seems as if they were simply targeted for being last to ride up on the scene of a poorly defined ‘incident’. At no point was the mass of riders identified as an illegal assembly or addressed with a formal dispersal order. In fact: officers employed the use of force to effect dispersal (which is against LAPD policy and illegal). The events are chronicled on the internet as many riders use Twitter:

(Resisting the urge to call for the brutal torture & death of all law enforcing thugs. Really. I’m not suggesting it in any way. At all. Ever.)

If it’s Conrad Black, why are you associating the two?

One of Boy’s chief characteristics was a pathological pretension and worship of British Privilege.

Another video, on the Local East Village, appears to show the man being dragged away from the motorcycle by the police and arrested moments later.

Apparently, yes. Obstructing traffic I guess.

I will contribute money to a fund that allows LAPD to come to New York and beat up 1%s. The only other sense I have heard the term “1%er” used is to describe the so called 1% of motorcyclists who belong to a criminal biker gang. I feel that sharing this appellation is unfair to the bikers who, are mostly hard working and honest drug dealers and extortionists.

Ah, sweatshop labor!

It’s like a spinning wheel of fail. What obvious counterargument should we go with kiddies?

a) Abortions still occurred when they were “illegal”, they were just more likely to kill people, not to mention that they were more likely to occur because societies that devalue female autonomy and personhood tend to create more desperate pregnant girls and rape victims who need instant help or “need to hide the proof of their sin from daddy”.

b) As many pointed out already, abortions being legal doesn’t make it mandatory, else there would be no one born in this country since it was legalized. So unless there was a rather specific incident in Steve Jobs biography that would argue otherwise, this is a bunch of obvious horseshit.

c) I’m sorry. Was Steve Jobs the child of deprived and starving people who weren’t sure they could afford a child and hadn’t planned for them or the wanted child of middle-to-upper class parentage who was able to have any amount of lavishness thrown on him? Cause like most children of privilege we place on a pedastal, the legality of abortion has never mattered one inch about whether or not they were born in this world.

d) Note the assumption that every woman who could have died in painful childbirth or died of septic pregnancies or botched pregnancies never have and never will amount to anything. Hey, if it doesn’t have a penis then it can’t be a “Great Man” now can’t it? Now, honey, run back into the kitchen and get me a sandwich and stop bitching about “your water breaking” and other girly shit.

e) Abortion counseling services? Uh huh, so projection boy, you might not have noticed this because you spend all your time with those “crisis pregnancy centers” you fuckers put up instead of spending one fucking second learning about the thing you supposedly are obsessed about, but Planned Parenthood doesn’t “counsel abortions” unless there is a medical emergency. They also offer practically the only cheap and respectful prenatal care in this country and handle a number of actual check-ins on wanted pregnancies and the like to bring them to term, far more than their necessary abortion services. They are way more likely to recommend good nutrition tips than to recommend ripping out your womb baby for satanic rituals. Dipshit.

f) Really? Steve Jobs? I mean, I like Apple products. I remember the days when they were just the good quality little guys fighting the evil empire beloved by the bitter angry grandpas who liked to cheer monopolies before they became the status symbols of those goddamned fuckers. But there ain’t nothing he really gave us. The same good could have been done by actually having strong monopoly laws or a decent taxation system that discouraged monopolization and the niche probably would have been filled with the first person to realize that they might be able to package Linux better if they network with an artist and UI developer to make it nice and accessible rather than stroking themselves off on how “exclusionary” and “better” it made them to make it difficult to use and design apps for.

Let us spin the wheel.

Ooh, too bad, we’ve landed on the square that just goes “Fuck you, you misogynist fucker and your ahistorical garbage and complete disregard for women.”

It’s a bad day all around for fans of the verbose. Try again next time.

. Was Steve Jobs the child of deprived and starving people who weren’t sure they could afford a child and hadn’t planned for them or the wanted child of middle-to-upper class parentage who was able to have any amount of lavishness thrown on him?

Jobs is his adopted name.

His birth parents were both students. So yes, it’s possible he would have been aborted if the option was more prevalent back then.

c) I’m sorry. Was Steve Jobs the child of deprived and starving people who weren’t sure they could afford a child and hadn’t planned for them or the wanted child of middle-to-upper class parentage who was able to have any amount of lavishness thrown on him? Cause like most children of privilege we place on a pedastal, the legality of abortion has never mattered one inch about whether or not they were born in this world.

Much as I dislike being fair, esp. when Lord Black or Jobs are involved, Jobs was adopted. (And the biological son of an A-rab, so maybe the recent state-sanctioned murders of browner folks on the other side of the world may not have been that good an idea, as suggested above.)

So it’s not impossible that he might have been aborted had aborting been legaler in ’55.

His biological father, Abdulfattah Jandali, was a Syrian Muslim immigrant who later married Ms Schieble. He has said they did not want to put their baby up for adoption, but his girlfriend’s parents would not initially allow her to marry an Arab.

Under pressure from her parents and fearing scandal, Ms Schieble travelled to San Francisco to have the baby. Steven Paul, as his adoptive parents named him, was born on February 24, 1955.
“Without telling me, Joanne upped and left to move to San Francisco to have the baby without anyone knowing, including me,” Mr Jandali, who never met his son, said in August. He described Ms Schieble’s father as a “tyrant”.

“Love” the subhead in the Torygraph:

Steve Jobs, who died yesterday, was the product of an unmarried interracial couple in the Midwestern United States in the mid-1950s.

Dunno about Jr. Diddley.

The actual suture is still in there?

actor212:

His birth parents were both students. So yes, it’s possible he would have been aborted if the option was more prevalent back then.

Fair enough. That’s a fair point.

Though…what else is in his biography?

Jobs was born in San Francisco to Abdulfattah “John” Jandali, a Syrian, and Joanne Carole Schieble (later Simpson), an American of Swiss and German ancestry, both graduate students. Jobs was placed for adoption after Schieble’s father opposed their marriage.

So, he could have been aborted depending on when the disowning lecture by father and the threat occurred. But of course, the real villain in this story seems to be the racism and the open resistance to mixed race couples in the pre-“Loving v. Virginia” days. Perhaps the same culture that pushed teenage daughters into forced birth and adoption when they “shamed their families” by screwing a member of an unapproved race would have led to being forced into an abortion (which again misses the point of the whole “pro-choice” movement).

But again, that culture has died out to the degree it has (which is almost complete) thanks to the feminist movements and the reinforcement of ideas like a woman is a complete person and not an extension of their father or a possession of their husband which the right to abortion access has allowed, granting greater freedom to women to decide when they start their families and with who.

And let’s be frank, it’s that culture the Conrad Blacks of the world really have a problem with.

And yeah, the right-wing has so run out of scare tactics that they have resorted to using “well, right-wing nuts might have used abortion to eliminate unwanted ‘stains’ on the family back in the day, so no more human rights for women today.”

Actually, that’s completely keeping in character. Right-wing nuts have always used themselves as a negative to argue why they should be put in charge or why left-wing programs must be eliminated. “Well, I would abuse it, so let’s ditch it and give me absolute power.”

M Bouffant-

Hmm, it seems like mango time.

Splsh.

he, as the unintended issue of a young, unmarried couple of limited means, was a prime candidate for abortion, which the Supreme Court has determined to be a matter of a woman’s privacy and sole authority over her own body.

Wow, begins right off with it, don’t it? Hmm, that seems very carefully worded, as if it is arguing the loose morals of poor unmarried couples is the real villain of the piece and would be powerless against the evils of “women being able to make serious decisions about their own body.”

It’s almost like he doesn’t really want to have to acknowledge about how parents, especially fathers viewed their children as property and would regularly interfere in their lives and autonomy. It might make people wonder if racism and a disregard for a woman’s ability to make their own choices were the villain rather than the “evil abortion lobby” and might draw comparison to other old bitter racists today who don’t seem to like women being able to make choices and want some form of legal intimidation to coerce women into making what are seen as “more moral” choices for the times.

But that would be silly.

My purpose is not to reopen the vexed abortion debate

Uh huh. Hands up on those who want to bet on how long before he breaks that?

Though to be fair, it may just mean that he knows he loses in free and open debate and so wants the right to shut everything down in emotional appeals about a person who just so happens to be in the middle of Reagan-esque worship in order to get maximum impact for his vile bullshit like the ghoul he is.

The abortion issue depends on the point at which the unborn are deemed to have obtained the rights of a person, when their right to life supersedes their mothers’ right to control all that occurs within their own bodies.

At the time they leave said body. Medical ethics answered this question like decades ago and the courts agreed with their findings though rounded down because you don’t want women to start thinking they have too many rights. A mistake that has had right-wing ghouls like you constantly trying to push that number down until it reaches effectively the moment the sperm reaches the egg…or maybe the moment a man thinks about knocking up some chick, I’m not entirely sure of the end game here, but I suspect it’ll represent Gilead.

The whole “debate” is that you don’t like the conclusion medicine reached about this medical procedure because of the social rights it grants women, so you drag in a bunch of religious garbage and open appeals to ignorance about science and social disregard of women’s roles in pregnancy and life in order to create a “controversy” we’re never allowed to examine directly thanks to a co-ordinated campaign of terrorism, intimidation, stalking, and of course backdoor legalization of theocracy as part of a larger test to see how much you can get away with while you are still the dominant religious ideology.

The intensive activities of the pro-life faction, especially the Roman Catholic Church, have debunked the theory with which the pro-abortionists began, that it was exclusively a female-privacy issue of no more moral significance than disposing of a dishcloth.

A) Debunked? I do not think this word means what you think it does, because I’m pretty sure that you have published exactly zero ground-breaking scientific studies on the subject. And have at best hand-waved away a large number of convincing social science studies that corroborate the benefits of legalized abortion on societal welfare.

B) Thanks for reminding me of one of the other huge reasons I despise that cult of child molestors with every ounce of my being.

C) It is. I know, I know, we aren’t supposed to say that because of the human tendency to anthropomorphize everything including potential, but yes, it is nothing but our hopes, dreams, and a bunch of bone, flesh, and tissue canibalized from the mother’s body at her expense until birth. Most of the brain doesn’t even form until after birth. And the issue becomes “even easier” at first trimester when most abortive procedures occur. If it differs from a dishcloth, it’s that a dishcloth isn’t actively leeching needed materials from your body the longer you leave it on the oven door.

Ok, bit long, will return to port for supplies.

Already covered this one. But also, just noticed how vague this is. You are meant to conclude this would be by evil abortionists, rather than, with all the information, a worldview by the father of the mother who demanded they split up and ordered the child given away in adoption. A “counseling” that would have probably been the same damn threat as what broke up his parents in the first place “do it or you are out on your own as a woman in the 50s with a mixed race partner with absolutely no social protection”.

Hey, wasn’t there some movement between then and now that made such circumstances mostly sad tales from a bygone era? Fema-something? I think there may have been a nazi in there. Ah, yes, the Nazi Party. That’s right. God bless those jackbooted thugs.

And that advice — and, if it were followed, the procedure itself — would probably have been government-assisted, even if only indirectly, by tax-favored treatment of the counseling agency.

Government EVIL. Did we get that buzzword in? Every right-wing hack is required to include at least 10 keywords in their posts for the repetition. How else will we expect you to parrot it back to your thinking friends and family who bury their heads in their hands and sigh as you speak entirely in Pavlovian response.

The issue of disposing of large numbers of conceived but unborn people involves practical as well as moral considerations.

When the sperm is done, the child is done. Because we wouldn’t be consistent if we didn’t erase the value of the woman’s input in every circumstance.

At the time Steve Jobs was born, in 1955, concern was already rising about the world population explosion, and the need to seek Zero Population Growth.

Oh, Bob in Himmel, I have a guess where this acknowlegment is going.

In this area, almost all advanced countries have been overachievers and have fallen into chronically low levels of demographic regeneration.

Yup. It wouldn’t be a right-wing screed against abortion, if they didn’t acknowledge their other big fear of abortion access and equality. “AIIEEE, the brown third-worlders are outbreeding us, we need to suspend the right to abort from white women.”

A) Seriously? They want to doom our planet because they think if they die with the most of the right color, they win?

B) Well, we could improve standards worldwide, maybe even with global policy to match the global economy, thus lowering birth rates worldwide naturally. But then that would “impede progress”.

C) Okay, Godwin’s Law here but every tinpot eugenicist dictator that existed seemed to always have the same idea. Ceausescu most famously, but also Stalin, and of course Hitler. All needed to “increase population growth” to fight the evil empires around them and protect the sanctity of their “national purity”.

D) Yeah, on that demographic winter, garbage… Jobs ain’t white. He’s half-arab and at the time that was already too foreign to not be forced abandoned to adoption services. So, yeah, under your rules he wouldn’t have existed, where under ours, he probably would have lived an unassuming life with his parents unless we got all our way and a half-arab child with bright ideas could have the opportunities of an assumed white child with class privilege.

E) On that whole double-switch using a dead person you would have hated to promote your racist sexist fantasies? Fuck you.

Okay, another quick breath.

You may AHEM at will on the father disapproval stuff, you earned it.

No earning, just luck that I picked that item from what Gurgle delivered, mostly because of the “interracial” bit, as I don’t consider Arabs to be outside of the “Caucasian” breeding group/”race.” Fucking Torygraph.

A mistake that has had right-wing ghouls like you constantly trying to push that number down until it reaches effectively the moment the sperm reaches the egg…

I think it’s clear that life begins with the purchase of cocktails.

Did somebody say cocktails!

*CHEERIO!*

Okay, we’ve opened the racism floodgates, let’s see what diseased mangos lie here.

Instead of addressing abortion, as they should have done, Congress and state legislators waffled, abstained, and failed to do what legislators are needed, elected, and paid to do, and left it to the courts, a shameful abdication.

Uh…huh. Okay, hands up anyone who thinks Black’s real problem with this is how much harder it is to repeal this now that they actually need to defend their theocratic wishes on actual scientific and secular grounds and are whining because they can’t just win an election on bullshit and theft and overturn it that way and they won’t ever have the numbers to force a constitutional amendment?

Oh, hey, it’s unanimous.

Well, that and the fact that “Courts evil” is also the current right-wing buzzword to be repeated in every screed.

It was a dereliction on all fours with Congress’s refusal to deal with immigration as millions of unauthorized and unskilled people poured into the country, and scores of millions of low-paying jobs were outsourced out of it.

Oh HAI racism, didn’t see you there. Ha ha, what a funny story there Black. /Wiseau

There has been no serious public discussion of trying to promote — by incentivization, not coercion (as first India and now China have tried) — an optimal demographic policy

If only there was a means to force white women to breed white babies and kill all brown babies that didn’t look like state-sponsored coercion or the obvious eugenicism the pro-life movement has been pretending is actually a part of the pro-choice movement ever since the pro-eugenics lobby started calling themselves “pro-life” for PR reasons. Oh, woe be the hack.

America is being led into the slaughterhouse of insolvency by the Judas goat of unbalanceable social programs, as a shrinking proportion of earners creaks under the burden of an ever-larger number and proportion of medically expensive, elderly recipients of benefits.

A) Obamacare wants to kill your grandma? What are you talking about? We already mostly won that battle so that talking point can just disappear.

B) Untenable social programs draining the treasury is the current hot-button Pavlov meme, so need to hammer it home even if it has no real connection to anything. Grr, you are angry about abortion, right? Good, now get angry about the rich getting anything less than 100% of everything and a working social net. I’ll give it to most hacks, they are usually smarter than this and don’t make the con so fucking obvious.

C) Uh, Black? You are starting to drift off the far end of “acceptable modern eugenics defense” straight off the dog-whistles into the full Hitler (pardon my Godwin), might want to back that off before you start talking about putting the excess population in camps to get some use from them.

This leads to the even more delicate issue of the moral precepts that guide the judges and justices into whose inept laps these issues have been dumped

So far you have spent paragraphs whining about how eugenics are badly looked on and pining for a more strenuous eugenics program that would solve the brown problem once and for all by using the corpse of a mixed-race dead person and have directly cited the moral authority of the most infamous ring of child molesters this modern society has.

And yet you still want to claim right to argue moral authority and find others lacking?

Wow, I’ll give you this sir, you certainly have balls. They may be half-dead and smell faintly of skin rot and Old Spice, but you sir, have great big swinging balls for pulling this obvious horseshit.

Need more flamethrowers if I’m going to collect the remaining mangos.

I think it’s clear that life begins with the purchase of cocktails.

Or the theft of liquor from the parental liquor cabinet.

Did somebody say cocktails!

*CHEERIO!*

Cheerio martinis get mushy too quick.

Or is there perhaps a flaw in his line of reasoning … ?

Perhaps there is any line of reasoning at all?

Okay, got the flamethrower, time for the rest of the mangos.

Now we have three Jewish and six Roman Catholic members of the Supreme Court, though probably only about four of the Roman Catholics appear to be particularly attuned to the official positions of their Church on the types of issues apt to come before the high court.

Um…Ok, I think I know where you are going with this and a) you just spent the first half arguing that the religious philosophy of the Catholic Church totally pre-empts medical ethics finding for the last several decades and b) didn’t you again say that Catholics had your back. I mean, I know why you’d write off the Jews, because of your love for Hitler’s policies (damn, the Godwins keep slipping out), but those Catholics should be 6 yeses for Team Evil which is already a win for your side, especially since you say they are mostly perfectly in tune with the High Church.

Okay, I was expecting one world order nutjobbery, but apparently we get a long running rant about how Scalia(!) of all people is a force of evil who dared separate from the Holy See.

there could be searching questions about why the Supreme Court has sat like a great suet pudding for decades while the Bill of Rights has been raped by the prosecution service with the connivance of the legislators, a tri-branch travesty against the civil rights of the whole population, but I will spare readers another dilation on that subject

And this…thing. I’m guessing he’s mad about his imprisonment and has decided it’s Scalia and the Supreme Court’s fault for not…I’m not sure what they were supposed to do. Rule that his fraud conviction was A-okay and everyone is allowed to commit mail fraud? Or did he send a love letter to them reminding them of their duty to take care of rich people and Scalia sent back a “sorry pal, you’re on your own” reply?

Also, this?

But some are, including Justice Antonin Scalia, who, as Maureen Dowd wrote in the New York Times on October 2, has attacked the complainant in a civil suit to stop the banning of co-ed dormitories at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

And his later accusation that this is part of an overarching obsession with college women is rich considering the first half of his post is a by-the-books misogynistic argument that we can’t allow women to have full rights while brown children are being born. Oh, yes, save us from the guy who just wants gender segregation, man who wants women to be denied any bodily autonomy over themselves and wants them to be reduced to incubators of the state.

Actually, can we just arm both sides and hope for a double-kill?

Leaving that aside, the report card on the co-equal branches is not uplifting: The legislators and the executive wimped out on abortion and immigration.

Yeah, how dare the court rule on the rights of the minority by upholding basic human rights and arguing that some things are outside base manipulation by legislature or president. Damn it, couldn’t the legislature or president done something about that. We could have stopped this shit if only we had passed the constitutional amendment to label women as property of their fathers or husbands when we had the chance.

upholds the death penalty in contradiction to the popes

Uh huh, like the random concern trolling about the gender segregation thing, this seems equally false. Oh, yes, this right-wingnut who is arguing that there must be a nice way we can force our white women to outbreed the savage hordes, who we will “disincentivize from breeding” is surely a strong believer in the vileness of the death penalty and the way it is essentially used as a device to kill black people and try and “cull their populations”. This is Dennis-level shit, here, Black.

The executive and legislative branches do nothing to encourage a higher birthrate, having ducked abortion, nor to promote the most assimilable immigration

Man, the half-sane mask didn’t really make it very far did it? Yes, we have too many children, so why isn’t our nation demanding more breeding like the Nazis and Stalinists did? Also, why do we let in non-white immigrants. And nice dog-whistle “most assimilable” is certainly the most creative euphemism for white I’ve seen from your side in a while.

And the rest is ranting about Scalia. My only guess is that Scalia is who he appealed his case to and Scalia just sent back a memo that said “Don’t drop the soap.”

Either that or Scalia repelled his romantic affections after they spent a nice evening talking about how bitches aren’t shit and should be tools of the state while the men frolic together and discuss the real important manly issues that make them smell so nice.

Maybe if your balls didn’t smell like crotch-rot, Connie.

Shh, it’s okay, I know it hurts. Just cry it all out.

Now, walk over here to my mincing machine. It wants to say hello in the most comforting way possible.

Okay, back on the boat, tell the captain to nuke the site from orbit.

What Blackie from Cellblock Alpha is trying to say is that THE FLYING CAR GUY CLEARLY GOT ABORTED. We were just lucky as shit to get iPods and a laptops that cost $2000.00.

Cheerio martinis get mushy too quick.

Heart healthy martinis. What will they think of next???

Overall, the whole thing is a mess. It doesn’t even give a damn about abortion, other than it’s means as a hook for the right-wingers to be taken on a quick two-minute hate, an argument for eugenics, and a long rant about how Scalia won’t return his calls.

No wonder he managed to be one of the few rich people who got themselves caught committing fraud. This isn’t just a con, it’s the laziest form of scam-artistry I have ever seen. Palin looks subtle in comparison.

What were his mail fraud letters?

“Blah blah, blah, whatever, send me money”?

tsam-

What Blackie from Cellblock Alpha is trying to say is that THE FLYING CAR GUY CLEARLY GOT ABORTED. We were just lucky as shit to get iPods and a laptops that cost $2000.00.

Of course, we’ve successfully stifled or murdered anyone who would genuinely improve people’s lives for the better, so now we’re just rooting for the capitalist who gives us the coolest shit. Lord, bless us this Shigeru Miyamoto for his sainthood, giving us cool cartoon mascots for his various video game franchises, surely he is the greatest we can do. AMEN.

Also, he isn’t arguing that we saved Steve Jobs. It’s that he would have aborted Steve Jobs too by “disincentivizing” children like him for the glorious white children brigade, but he reserves the right to grumble about abortion anyways because it kills children. Also, Scalia refused to suck his dick and that’s like the Holocaust Times 12.

That’s no motorcycle — it’s a scooter!

So here’s a funny story. I recently got this email from this really nice lady who said she got a kick out of my blog and inquired about using my art for a project. She also directed me to a funny dildo on her lesbian-related site, which puzzled me a bit. So I went back and checked my last few entries. Yeah. In pretty much every one, I mentioned some butt-related activities. I don’t have the heart to tell her I’m not a lesbian into assplay, that I just have the maturity of an eight-year-old.

It’s better this way.

vs-

I imagine the Dudeskull related posts would at least strongly hint to at least bisexuality or heterosexuality, so I wouldn’t be too worried. I imagine she just thinks you find things like that fun and funny.

Though, who knows, it does get cold of a winter…

All I’m saying.

Also the eugenicist brigade whining about Margaret Sanger being into Eugenics Lite back when Eugenics was the huge fad?

Further proof that everything from a right-winger is projection. Everything.

The legislators and the executive wimped out on abortion and immigration.
Given Black’s non-Americanness, he can be forgiven for not understanding that business of “the Constitution over-riding laws and executive decisions”. Ever-optimistic, I am assuming that the constitution-respecting readers of NRO are correcting him in comments.

only about four of the Roman Catholics appear to be particularly attuned to the official positions of their Church

Only four of nine Supreme-Court judges are basing their verdicts on their religious beliefs rather than on constitutional law, and that is not enough for Black? Really? I begin to think he’s trolling NRO, seeing how far he can go in contradicting their principles and philosophy and still have them agreeing with him because he’s wealthy.

Heart healthy martinis. What will they think of next???
Grilled Cheese Sandwich martini.

She also directed me to a funny dildo on her lesbian-related site, which puzzled me a bit.

Obviously she confused you with Substance.

Smut Clyde-

Oh Smut, you eternal optimist, you.

Why would they bother upholding the Constitution when it can’t be used as a “shut up that’s why” Bible-replacement in arguments against liberals? That would just be silly. You might look like someone who actually cared about this shit rather than someone who hadn’t read a single line but wants to cite argument by historical authority to do what you always wanted to do.

And that’s nearly as bad as looking like a liberal.

Though he may be getting flamed for arguing against Saint Scalia. That’s one of those no-nos on the right.

People are always doing that. Especially since we started calling each other to coordinate our outfits.

Now we have three Jewish and six Roman Catholic members of the Supreme Court, though probably only about four of the Roman Catholics appear to be particularly attuned to the official positions of their Church on the types of issues apt to come before the high court.

So the separation of church and state is raping of the Bill of Rights! Jesus, his metaphors are so half-assed they’re metatwos.

I think Connie’s comprehension of how things work in the USofA is best revealed by his use of the phrase “prosecution services.”

Woof, that is as awkward as the toddler of regret riding the tricycle of authorship into the wall of shame without the helmet of editing.

Nice one tigris

But he & Rat Buchanan are on the same page:

The last decade provided corroborating if not conclusive proof that we are in the Indian Summer of our civilization.”

Editing helmet needed. Watch the excessive weasel words, Connie:

Why does Conrad Black have such a problem with prosecutors? I mean, what’s the deal?

Where didyagit the wingnut decoder ring, Substance?

Most Americans DO NOT SUPPORT THIS, the movement has been took over by the Democrats. WHEN this explodes into full riot, looting, fires then Obama will declare Marshall Law, kerfew’s, write some Executive Orders, perhaps postpone the 2012 election.

For some sutures, they use a sugar-based thread that’s supposed to dissolve. I still have one near my ear from a surgery four years ago. It’s much smaller now but it’s taking a long time to dissolve.

Hey homies, I need your help.

I have been getting daily nuisance calls for several months now as a result of a scam website. Said scam website allegedly is a directory of new businesses, but in reality, it’s a guy who trolls public records, puts up listings for new businesses and purposely assigns keywords, contact info and other wrong information which steers business AWAY from the listed business. Because he scoops up the new business registration info as soon as a biz registers, he’ll have it up on his site before the new biz is really up and running. So they start out with the very first google search result being one that will direct customers away from their business. If the site owner is contacted about the wrong info, he sends a form email telling you that you have to register to edit it yourself. Here’s the precious part: the free registration doesn’t allow you to correct anything on the listing; to do that, you have to pay blackmail of $25.

My situation is a bit different; in my case the shithead listed my home phone number as connected with my previous business, which is defunct. The problem comes in here: virtually all the businesses on his site are listed as having phone number (000)000-0000. So if someone goes and googles Joe’s Plumbing in Little Rock, up will pop a page for Joe’s showing all zeroes for the phone number. BUT…further down the page there is a section for “other businesses in your area” and for EVERY BUSINESS in central Arkansas, guess which business – and phone number – pops up there? Yep. So the person searching for how to contact Joe’s Plumbing will see only one real phone number on the page – my home number. Then they call looking for Joe’s. I get between 1 and 4 calls per day because of this. When I contacted the site, first I got the form email telling me to register, then of course found that I couldn’t edit the listing. So I wrote back, said, look, this isn’t even a business and you’ve posted my home phone number; nothing gives you the legal right to subject me to nuisance calls. Dude writes back and basically says, “Pay the fee or go fuck yourself. Go ahead, get a lawyer oh I’m so scared.”

So of course now I’m like….MOTHERFUCKER!!!! YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!!!

I’ve filed a complaint with the BBB and with the FTC; I’m thinking he may be in violation on the Do Not Call registry but even if he’s not, he’s running a shakedown operation. I’ve posted to other sites telling others to also file complaints. And I’ve had quite the back and forth with the stupid motherfucker. I think I’ve figured out why he’s so cocky – he’s an old white guy with a mail order Phillipine bride who’s moved over there. So now it looks like the only way to get at him is through his site host.

Here’s where I need help, in sorting out who that is and how to reach them and get them to suspend his site. So, help if you can. Before I was irritated, but now this motherfucker must be smashed like a bug under my shoe. Seriously, he’s harassing me, but he’s financially damaging every single business he’s listed on his site, and there are tens or hundreds of thousands of them…it would be a damn big class action. But I don’t think FTC can get at a guy overseas if he stays overseas. So looking for other routes.

You can’t even trust these guys anymore. Is nothing sacred?

Goatse doping…whoa…

Jennifer, the BBB can’t do squat and you are too small time for the FTC (They are busy not prosecuting Wall Street)

You should contact your State’s Attorney General’s office. They should be able to help and they may have already heard others complaints and it is in their interest to help (fighting for local small businesses and the next election and all that.) Good luck.

gocart – don’t diss the FTC. They absolutely can and do go after people who prey on little guys. I testified in an FTC case in Pittsburg a few years ago, in a case where they won a judgment of $26 million against a scam artist. So I’m big on those guys. I had no trouble getting their lead cousel on the phone the first time I ever called them. But the AG is a possibility; I had already considered the Nevada AG because that’s where the offending business was originally registered, but that registration is out of date and revoked, so I figured that was a dead end.

Just to add: yes, if it was only me, I probably would be too small time for the FTC, even though I still hold them in high regard. But in this case, this guy is damaging tens or hundreds of businesses with this tactic. It certainly fits under the rubric of “deceptive business practices” and tens or hundreds of thousands is one big fucking class for a class action. That is definitely not too “small time” for FTC.

Dammit. That should have said “tens or hundreds of thousands of businesses.” Seriously, he’s got thousands of listings, all purposely incorrect, for each state.

I need to go sleep now.

Did not know that. I apologize to the FTC.

G’Nite

That sucks Jennifer. I hope you get the bastard and squash him like a bug under your shoe. Personally, I think you need a friendly hackster to destroy his website without giving him/herself away. That’s illegal, but what this guy is doing should be illegal. Hey—he wants to play? Play.

My cuddlebuggles was recently harassed by a guy who was an ex of a woman my cb has been net-friending and having phone conservations with for over a year. This guy was physically abusing her and my cuddles recommended that she leave him. She did, and somehow the jackass got our number and called repeatedly from different numbers screaming all kind of shit, threatening to come to our house, and trying to engage my darling-butt in some serious psycho-drama. Cuddlebutt called the local police department and an officer called Mr. Professional Stalker and told him to back off. Then we blocked the numbers. Damned phone plan. To have call blocking as a choice, we had to give up something else.

I wouldn’t fuck lord Conrad with Amy Alkon’s dick.

Art piece. I call it “Anger, Expressed in Statistical Data”

I like your suggestion, wiley.

So…any friendly hacksters out there who want to help me fuck over a scumbag?

Fun game: Speculate that the second coming of Jesus ended in an abortion. That’s a sure recipe for loads and loads of LOLZ and whatnot.

In one of C.S. Lewis’s novels a nominally “good” character is gravely concerned about such possibility and suggests execution for all women who have an abortion or even use birth control. Nice guy.

In one of C.S. Lewis’s novels a nominally “good” character is gravely concerned about such possibility and suggests execution for all women who have an abortion or even use birth control. Nice guy.

And this, of course, makes perfect sense because an all-knowing, all-powerful god would have no way of choosing a suitable mother to bear the child for the second coming.

Haven’t any of those folks ever read the Bible? Know what the Magnificat is? If you believe any of it, God didn’t force Mary to have Jesus, he sent an angel to ask her and give her the choice of bearing him or not.

Haven’t any of those folks ever read the Bible?

…

Haven’t any of those folks ever read the Bible?

Reading is NOT fundamentalist!

“Anger, Expressed in Statistical Data”

See how the profit spikes down in 2008 & instantly bounces back up again?

That HAS to be a prefab event. Not even Huxley’s dystopia would be organized enough to organically rebound from its economy suffering circa 20% total value destruction that fast – not with a stimulus that everybody already knew was woefully inadequate (after the GOP made damn sure it would be, in both quantity & quality). You don’t even need to know all the sordid minutiae of brokers shorting the living hell out of all the same “pile of shit” (their own description) instruments they were hawking to the suckers … that stiletto pointing to hell tells you everything you need to know about the 2008 MegaScam without one word.

It never fails to take me aback to note that the truth of just how grim & terrifying life was for Teh 99%erz in the “boom years” prior to said MegaScam has conveniently found a nice warm home down the Memeory Hole. MEMEORY ISN’T FOR CLOSERS.

Conventional capitalism has as its predicates: private ownership, perpetual net growth, perpetual net profit, an infinite resource-pool from which to feed them … & perpetual scarcity, so as to activate market demand.

Does this sound like a reality-friendly model to you?

In the absence of extremely totalitarian levels of orchestration – both of population & of industrial output – this model is designed to fail.

Capitalism has done awesomely throughout modern history because the environments, tools & DIY software guiding it were shitty enough to give it room to fulfill its goals by expanding & improving – & because there were a huge series of resource-rich hinterlands to provide serial orgies of diverse goodies to grow with & for it to sell. Ongoing success eventually made it culturally sexy enough to become an icon.

None of those hugely beneficial factors exist much any more, & it shows.

They’ve been giving it a game go at trying to replace scarcity with insecurity, peer-envy, neurosis, & a grab-bag of nifty cultish shenannigans, but its weakness is manifest:the malfunctions get bigger, uglier & more frequent … shit is just plain getting too real to deal for humankind lately. It’s a tautology to point out that plenty is the nemesis of a system whose oxygen is human want, which means we’re either going to build a better system – or be destroyed by the present one. Whether there’s a fat enough time-envelope for us to do so in is open to debate. One would think the need to do so would not be. Sadly, FUCK no.

So…any friendly hacksters out there who want to help me fuck over a scumbag?

Wish I could help. Fucked if I know.

Skulking around the backwoods of Teh Corner (I need a laugh, trust me), I came across this little nugget:

Charles Krauthammer seeks a full-time research assistant for one- or two-year tenure. Send resume to job@charleskrauthammer.com.

And they say there are no jobs out there!!!

Haven’t any of those folks ever read the Bible?

Silly! You’re not supposed to actually read the Bible. You’re supposed to use it as a political stick to beat your opponents with.

Read the Bible! What will they think of next?

In one of C.S. Lewis’s novels a nominally “good” character is gravely concerned about such possibility and suggests execution for all women who have an abortion or even use birth control. Nice guy.

What if Jesus came back as a woman and someone accusedher of having an abortion?

If you believe any of it, God didn’t force Mary to have Jesus, he sent an angel to ask her and give her the choice of bearing him or not.

I think God only asks Mary in one book. Am thinking Matthew, off the top of my head.

You don’t even need to know all the sordid minutiae of brokers shorting the living hell out of all the same “pile of shit” (their own description) instruments they were hawking to the suckers …

I read a story once about a wealthy investor who didn’t lose when most did during the Great Depression because he cashed out just before the crash, after an elevator operator told him about his portfolio. Remember those ads—“Is that the same car he was driving yesterday?” Rube call. Wall Street started sucking air early in the millennium. The housing thing was totally fraudulent. Employment wasn’t going up. Wages weren’t going up. There was no reason for house prices to be going up.

I think God only asks Mary in one book. Am thinking Matthew, off the top of my head.

Luke, but I don’t think fundegelicals think that matters, as it’s not contradicted in any other telling; Mark and John don’t discuss it at all, and Matthew approaches it from Joseph’s perspective, that he found out she was pregnant and was told in a dream that it was from the Holy Spirit.

I’ve filed a complaint with the BBB and with the FTC

I know some people find LOLing annoying. Those people are annoying.

Self-awareness begins in someone’s head.

I was under the impression that the angel merely informed Mary that she was going to bear Jesus, not asked her permission for it.

I fully admit that I could be wrong on that.

…31 U iz gonna hav a kittn. Naem him Jeebus, coz tht naem meenz salvaishun, an also coz we has no naemz liek Billy Bob yet.32 He wil be graet. He wil be teh kittn of Ceiling Cat an his daddi will give him David’s chaer.33 He wil r00l Jacob’s house forevr.”

In one of C.S. Lewis’s novels a nominally “good” character is gravely concerned about such possibility and suggests execution for all women who have an abortion or even use birth control. Nice guy.

Ah, “That Hideous Strength”. The argument was that Jane Studdock had been destined to give birth to the redeemer of England, but she’d interfered with destiny by using birth control, so she was an evil woman and her husband had been won over to the Dark Side. Apparently Jane had been ruined by education and feminism. Also there’s some weird shit about the occupants of the Moon using contraception as well.

C. S. Lewis had whole bound volumes, not just issues. WOMMINZ = SCARY. In Surprised by Joy he reckons that “the two things that some of us most dread for our own species” are “the dominance of the female and the dominance of the collective”.

We need not mention his predilection for floggings.

PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE COMING GYNOCRACY, PLEBES.

…but I’ve said too much…

PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE COMING GYNOCRACY

What preparations are involved? Do they involve lubricant? AFAF.

I’m pretty sure Gawd asked Mary in Luke. Way back in another life I studied art and did a series of paintings of Mary. I liked a lot of Renaissance paintings of the angel whispering into Mary’s ear and what not. I did a five by seven foot painting of Mary in labor being attended by Mary Magdalene and Elisabeth (out of chronology, I know). It was called “Christmas Eve”—that one was chosen for the student art show. Strikes me as strange that Christmas is so little known for Mary being in labor, ya know. I had another called “Annunciation” in which a nude and quite pregnant Mary (life size) is awakened by the hand of Gawd and she looks to be in quite a state of rapture. It was black and white in high-fi grays and fine french pastel on paper.

Hey, if you love Gawd and Gawd loves you, then getting knocked up by him must be realz niiiice.

What preparations are involved? Do they involve lubricant? AFAF.

Nah. Many of your Overlasses are good to go.

We were driving home from dinner tonight when the right rear tire blew out at about 70 mph. Pulled into a rest stop on I-70 somewhere between Springfield and Columbus to change it. Of course I was wearing my good pants because we’d gone out to a nice restaurant.

The authorities love, love, love, love, love, love, LOVE! to have tidy little arrangements like this with some criminal elements. It even makes a certain amount of sense; after all, why wouldn’t you like to have contacts in the criminal world, if only to know what’s going on? The problem is that all too often, it goes beyond that, and the criminals you’re in touch with become a sort of unofficial street muscle.

I don’t know what the current situation “on the street” is, but I completely believe that police departments would use neo-Nazis as “paid bitches.” Given society’s white bias, it makes sense that the white gangs would be who you’d use to fulfill that role.

The Atlantic: The other FAILblog

Here, Meg takes an idiotic argument made by and idiot and makes it even worse.

From tsam’s link
Glen Whitman writes:
“Not so anymore. Flight attendants aren’t necessarily unattractive now, but they’re no more fetching than people in any other service profession that doesn’t get tips. And what’s changed? In a word, deregulation.”
Megan McCardle responds:
” As a libertarianish economics blogger, I would love if this story were true. ”
So one libertarian is upset about deregulation and another wishes she could be upset about it too. Hmm, I guess that the only good regulations are the ones that say babes must be hot. I can’t say I personally would mind that too much, but Meg may want to rethink her position on that one, as she might find herself regulated out of the workforce.

Damn you, tsam! I was just coming over here to suggest to TinTin that this column practically writes its parody itself!

If you can read Le Monde, you are a beaucoup intellectual.

TB, I have a post at my blog up this afternoon (lemme see…2PM EDT…by S,N! time that would be around 20:00) pointing out the flaw in McArdle’s argument.

The huge zit on her forehead, if you will.

Friend’s mom, who was a stewardess back when it was apparently the highest aspiration of womankind, refers to it as the only job in the world where you are expected to say thank you when someone hands you a bag of vomit.

See also that McMegan failed to make much of how shit the pay of airline crews is… just maybe most of teh story here is that women who once might have considered becoming stewardesses now know it is in fact not a very glamorous job. For those stewarding on “the national airlines in countries […] like Qatar or Asia” (not a typo), maybe part of their story is that they don’t have as many alternatives as young women do here… So damn you feminism! Add this to the list of things you fucked up – the visual experience for sexually frustrated air-travellers!

Starting salary for a regional airline pilot is anywhere from $15k to $25k for the first year. After 5 years they might make $40k – $60k.

As a 757 First Officer at Global Package Delivery Mega-Corp I make around $125k. Pretty good money, but nothing like what the industry paid back in the day. I made about the same when I was a full time Air National Guard pilot getting paid as a GS-13.

Add this to the list of things you fucked up – the visual experience for sexually frustrated air-travellers!

I fly maybe four or five times a year. I have yet to be on a plane where at least one stew wasn’t at least attractive.

And that’s just the boys!

Starting salary for a regional airline pilot is anywhere from $15k to $25k for the first year. After 5 years they might make $40k – $60k.

He lives in his parents’ apartment. That’s all I needed to hear.

Hmm. It almost sounds like the USA today article on the upcoming pilot shortage is the same kind of story we hear about an IT professional shortage, i.e. an excuse to train up a surplus of talent* in order to keep wages low.

*of course in the IT world it is also an excuse to outsource to India, and/or bring in foreign talent on H1B visas.

I’ve been hearing about a “pilot shortage” for the last 25 years and I haven’t seen one yet.

I actually used to work full-time in IT and flew part-time in the National Guard.

“For those stewarding on “the national airlines in countries […] like Qatar or Asia” (not a typo)”

One can only imagine the smackdown fail administered by McMegan if one should ask her what the capital of Asia is.

The gist of the article was that a whole bunch of pilots will be hitting mandatory retirement age soon, and there is a lot more commercial aviation in Asia, and fewer pilots are successfully making the transition from military to commercial aviation. So I guess it’s good news if you want to fly in China.

I’ve been hearing about a “pilot shortage” for the last 25 years and I haven’t seen one yet.

It’s just like the nurse shortage that magically appeared after a failed attempt to break the unions a few years ago. Like every other industry, the medical industry haz a big fat sad when the revenues pay people instead of pharma and the medical giants. The shareholders are finally getting their hard earned pay.

“Good afternoon, passengers, my name is Apu and I’ll be piloting your plane from my cushy office in Bangalore…”

That “stewardess” post is an unbelieveably big ball of stupid that I just don’t have time this morning to untangle. Let me just say that I’m 55, I’ve been flying since I was 14 and traveling to and from Bush Family Academy, and I never particularly noticed flight attendants in the 1970s being any more or less attractive than they are now, or than any randomly selected women in that age group. (And believe me, a 14-year-old boy notices these things.)

You know where all this pout-rage over flight attendant’s looks comes from?

The TV show “Pan Am,” which makes stewardesses of the 60s look even more glamourous than they were.

“Good afternoon, passengers, my name is Apu and I’ll be piloting your plane from my cushy office in Bangalore…”

The minute the airlines think they can get away with it, I think that will happen. It’s the natural evolution from predator drones. Except it probably wont be a cushy office. It will be some half-finished 6 story concrete office block and when Apu passes out from 14 consecutive hours on duty with no air conditioning in the Bangalore heat, and manages to sink an Airbus into the straits of Malacca, the airline will be all “nobody could have forseen”.

It is my observation that the supply of pilots is endless because they really do love to fly. Next thing they will be telling us is that there are not enough minor league baseball players. I bet it would be interesting to determine which of the two there are more of.

That, plus I think it gets a boost from the “feminazis are ugly” trope. Anything geared at treating female employees more humanely must be there to benefit ugly chicks.

Except minor league players make a union wage.

There will only be 14 people to a room and a desk. For him, that’s cushy.

They raised the pilot retirement age from 60 to 65 around 4 years ago. I’ve been waiting for these over-60 guys to start retiring so I can move up in seniority.

Looks over at Captain – “Hurry up and die you old bastard and get out of my seat!”

This is why the captain never turns his back on you and never accepts food and drink that has been alone with you, etc.

If you buy this,,,

It’s located quite nicely too with a park on one side and teh market just a block or so away. I’m thinking hipster condos at a couple hundred square feet per unit.

Incidentally, have you seen teh mural on teh back? It’s pretty neat.

Rassin’ frassin’ trump loy.

hey tsam, how did the Occupy Spokane protest go? Or was it someplace else?

Hmm, I guess that the only good regulations are the ones that say babes must be hot.

Wanna imagine Mark Steyn wondering where the hot stewards are?

I ended up going to Eugene, Oregon on Saturday to help a friend’s parents move. So now I’m waiting for the next gathering.

Eugene was fun, however.

That Mark Steyn sure is an awesome guy.

Mark Steyn, fat ugly Canadian, wants to understand where the hot stews have gone.

To Canada, apparently.

They started sucking Koch

In short, saying “OMG!” offends the baby jeebus, but kiddle diddling, not so much, so encourage your sons to be priests!

From my Bibble learnings of yore, it is literally so!

“OMG” = blasphemy* (which seems to qualify as a sin versus Ye Holy Spirit, & as such is not amenable to absolution via repentance).

Kiddie diddling? Repent & you’re in like Flynn with Jesus.

Doesn’t repenting involve not doing it again? Or at least promising not to?

I don’t know that I’ve noticed a dropoff in the attractiveness of stewardesses over the past thirty five years or so, but man, I can say without reservation that the passengers have gone way downhill.

Doesn’t repenting involve not doing it again? Or at least promising not to?

It means saying you’re sorry and that you’ll never ever do that again, cross your heart.

Carl Salome TinTin gets spectacular review

To Canada, apparently.

I had one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen in my life as the flight attendant on my return flight from B.C.

Canadian stews for the win!

Also, too,

What. A. Fuckin. Tool.

Speaking of LEAFS SUCK, in case y’all were wondering how Occupy Toronto is doing. Well, apparently having strong banking regulatory oversight, an unemployment rate only 1% off pre-financial crisis levels, mortgage accounts in arrears still hovering around half a percent – there’s not that much bank hate. A good turnout on teh Saturday but then almost everyone went home for the night and forgot about teh protests during brunch. Here on teh first real workday of teh protests, it’s down to a few dozen or so. On teh optimistic side, it’s very much liek Week 1 of Occupy Wall Street,,,

Teh marathon proceeded as normal. Here’s a couple interesting stories for teh next time some young punk won’t get offa your lawn.

As a 757 First Officer at Global Package Delivery Mega-Corp I make around $125k.

Do I know you? Seriously.

DIAF, you…

Teh glowing sexay would explain the drop off in number of posts and their attractiveness.

Maybe. Do you fly out of Louisville or Memphis?

I feel that a culture is more trustworthy when they can embrace simple human perviness instead of acting like it doesn’t exist or that it’s evil and wrong.

Indeed, beating servants is just fun!

Maybe. Do you fly out of Louisville or Memphis?

No, I don’t fly. I just wondered, ’cause I know a guy who does similar, but internationally, and he’s a big libby, and known to go under different aliases to avoid being tracked by Orly Taint & Co.
.

Without giving away too much – I fly out of Memphis a lot, which would let you figure out who I work for.

I get to fly internationally on occasion, but at my seniority I mostly see a lot of Sioux Falls and Grand Junction.

It’s a very right-wing company for the most part. The crew force mostly seems to range from right-of-center to full-on-tea-party.

I find myself trying to steer conversations away from politics. If I’m paired up with a Captain for a week or more, I don’t want to spend it at each others throats.

Beating the butler.

There’s nothing to stop Steyn or his equally-concerned colleagues setting up their own Hooters Airlines. But apparently the Market has failed been failed again.

You probably knew this already but there actually was a Hooters Airline for a while. Failed miserably.

How to make a small fortune in the airline business – start with a large fortune.

I did not know that. Are you telling me that other than right-wing victimologists, there is not in fact a vast demand among passengers — being thwarted by gubblement regulations — for sexy cabin crew? Shocked I am.

Apparently, the price of lube went up

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

Yup, anything involving feminists asking that women be treated as something approaching a full and equal human being is treated as either a) a plot to take away their sexual gratification or b) a ploy by ugly chicks to….ERROR READING, but no less true because of that, either that or c) bitches be hating men and doing….ERROR READING, goddamn it, we swear we have a point!

So, women saying, hey, maybe we should cut out the “sex sells” crap in the skies and let the passengers just bring their own damn fetishes without catering is treated like an attack on sex and obviously something to fill the ranks with ugly chicks. I mean, there are even older women in the profession than there were when passenger planes were a young transportation method that would appeal to a young woman’s hope to escape her oppressive small town and fly far far away. I don’t know what caused this, but I’m sure it’s related to male wingnuts becoming bald and being treated like creepy old men by the young skirts and they’re sure feminism is to blame for that too!

Similarly, it’s the same on everything else. Saying women could actually do jobs rather than be in-house mistresses for the bosses is when the country died. Saying hey, maybe our erotic expressions should emphasize a sexuality more likely to create actual erotic connection (i.e. better sex) than a “lay back for England” mentality is feminists hating sex, cause you know it’s not like women actually want sex and were tired of being made to feel like under-valued blow-up dolls. And of course saying that they’d like to create those moments together with consent and an end to the culture of fear that had women “guarding their jewel” against the first man to “steal it by any means necessary” is of course the day feminists stole the ALL-MIGHTY PENIS from its rightful place!

It’s almost like it’s more about nostalgia for a time when women “knew their place” than anything entirely coherent or related to what they are spouting.

I am not paying double for the extra seat.

OOPS. Murders and Executions.
