I’m A Hindi Doodle Dandy
ABOVE: Dinesh D’Souza, Maharajah of Gomaya
Shorter Dinesh D’Souza, Forbes:
How Obama Thinks
- As a true-blooded American, I can tell you that Obama is not really American
Dinesh D’Souza, arguably the ugliest person alive, has still not earned enough in wingnut welfare to get his ears tucked so that he doesn’t bear an unsettling resemblance to the offspring of an unholy coupling between Dumbo and Ganesh, an unfortunate fact not solved by the fact that his name is a contraction of his two apparent parents. But now that his ugly mug is plastered all over American cineplexes, we’ve shortered an article in Forbes from two years ago where Dinesh mounted his favorite hobby horse that has now been made into a feature length, er, movie. The hobby horse, as you may know, is that Obama is, somehow, not really an American but instead some transnational Maoist Mau Mau-ist motivated solely by a hatred of anti-colonialism. This leads him to govern the country according to secret messages he receives from his dead father and various other departed souls such as Leon Trotsky, Frantz Fanon and, of course, the Prophet Mohammed.
But we have been blinded to his real agenda because, across the political spectrum, we all seek to fit him into some version of American history. In the process, we ignore Obama’s own history. Here is a man who spent his formative years–the first 17 years of his life–off the American mainland, in Hawaii, Indonesia and Pakistan, with multiple subsequent journeys to Africa.
Now after you stop snickering that Mr. More American Than George Washington Himself apparently thinks that Hawaii is some kind of foreign country, let’s mosey over to Wikipedia and see what Mr. D’Souza did for his first 17 years. I am assuming, of course, that for those first 17 years young Dinesh memorized the Constitution, made pocket-money by selling American flags that he hand stitched in his own basement while listening to baseball games, and won numerous awards each year in essay contests where he submitted essays named, variously, “Why I Am Proud To Be an American,” “What The Founding Fathers Mean To Me,” “America, Not Europe, Invented Hamburgers,” and “Why The Star-Spangled Banner Always Brings Tears to My Eyes.”
D’Souza was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, [in 1961] to Goan Catholic parents from the state of Goa in Western India.[17] He arrived in the United States in 1978.
Holy Bat, Shitman! Unless Maharashtra has become the 51st state, Dinesh spent his first 17 years eating biryani, not burgers, playing cricket, not baseball, tipping sacred cows not dairy cows, and listening to Usha Uthup, not Elvis. And now he gets to decide who is really American and who isn’t? That’s rather like letting Mitt Romney decide which is the best macaroni and cheese that comes in a box.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
Suck on this, Bozo.
I find it amusing that D’Souza thinks that anti-colonialism would be seen as a negative by Americans.
Where’s Mr. Bean?
I’m not bothered by the fact that he’s an immigrant. I’m bothered by the fact that he thinks he can use the President’s background to create all kinds of imaginary motivations and mental state that makes him “un-American.” Please tell me, Dinesh, what actions has our President taken that would validate your bullshit claims?
Also, and too. What’s so fucking good about being a provincial narrow-minded asshole? I thought having a little perspective about the world around us might be, I dunno, a good thing in a President. Silly me.
FIFTH!

Silly you indeed, a (how you say?) “little perspective about the world around us” tends to lead someone to being a liberal.
We’ve got to get this guy together with Gabriela Saucedo Mercer and grab a ton of popcorn.
Romney comes from another planet, so advantage Obama!
And every damn line in that piece is so outrageously false I’m surprised D’Souza’s fingers didn’t fall off in protest.
I’m sure it’s an overcompensating inferiority complex.
I have a bro-in-law with the same affliction: he’s Armenian, came to California from Iran (by way of an Italian religious boarding school) when he was 17-18, not speaking a lick of Americanish, so he still has a very heavy accent in his 60s. He votes Republican, got hisself a good-ole-boy Realtor license, married a blond bimbo (my wife’s sister), joined the most holier-than-thou fuckhead church that doesn’t believe that the assholes who invented Xtianity (namely Catholics) are fucking Christians, and changed his name from Shahen to Sean, and the poor bastard doesn’t seem to get that his rightwing friends still can’t tell the difference between him, Mexicans, or anyone from the Scary Middle East.
Unfortunately, America seems to attract this sort a lot more than we deserve.
Okay, maybe we do deserve ’em.
PENIS.
I have a bro-in-law with the same affliction…
Oooh, I bet Thanksgiving dinner is fun.
Repeating my comment from the last thread because, well, it’s relevant.
So wait, since they found a Mexican racist whore, now all the Mexicans EXCEPT THIS CUNT and Marco Rubio who isn’t really Mexican but those guys are all the same so no diff are totally bad border jumping spics and ALL Middle Easterners are bad.
Roger that.
Well of course! Immigrants are good if they will clean our* houses and do our all our* other shit work for next to no money, and then vote GOP if they ever manage to jump through the myriad hoops to become citizens.
Otherwise they’re ebilsocialestislamofascistdoubleungoodhitlerterrorists times eleventy.
Duh.
*for values of “our” made up exclusively of the 1%
I find it amusing that D’Souza thinks that anti-colonialism would be seen as a negative by Americans.
that caught me up too…i’m pretty certain he feels it’s a negative also…which i’m sure is some sort of stockholm syndrome symptom…
If this were the 1700s D’Souza would side with the British so it all makes perfect sense.
I thought having a little perspective about the world around us might be, I dunno, a good thing in a President
That’s because you have it. If you didn’t have it, you’d think Bush Jr was an alright dude. You know, the cowboy who was a cheerleader for Yale…
Does anyone else have this surreal feeling about how weird shit has gotten?
Seems like even 20 years ago, a presidential candidate would have been bounced out of the primary race if it was discovered that he was stashing millions of dollars in Cayman and Swiss bank accounts to evade taxes. We stuck Capone in prison for evading taxes.
Am I crazy or is shit getting more goofy and fucked up by the day?
It’s possible that “yes” is the answer to both questions. “Yes” definitely is to the latter.
Yeah, I guess those are two different and unrelated questions, isn’t it?
aren’t they?
HOLY FUCK I’M DUMM
D’Souza was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, [in 1961] to Goan Catholic parents from the state of Goa
Goans from Goa? Who could have guessed?
I’M DUMM
I attribute it to the crazy.
So his articles are groaners from the grown son of Goans.
There are too many puns here. I’m goin’.
Goin, goout, just get Goan.
Goa is also one of the biggest sources of the word’s cashews. It was also a former Portuguese colony (hence his Portuguese name) So presumably D’Souza was eating foreign nuts, not good ‘ol Americun peanuts. Another fail.
Bihar’d to top that.
That’s rather like letting Mitt Romney decide which is the best macaroni and cheese that comes in a box.
Oh! The one that’s made with tagliatelle and white truffles… I reckon.
the assholes who invented Xtianity (namely Catholics)
Harrumph.
New York you are OUT.
Go on.
That’s rather like letting Mitt Romney decide which is the best macaroni and cheese that comes in a box.
I think he’s more interested in the best macaroni and cheese that comes from a company with sellable assets and a fully loaded, raidable pension fund.
Goan is my favourite Dragon Ball character.
Only in the GOP would have someone with a more foreign-sounding name than the POTUS claim that said-POTUS is not a true American.
Also: didn’t get to re-chime in on the “adult film star” convo, but I’ll just say “Nautica Thorne & Alanah Rae” and be done with it*.
* = I would have added “Sasha Grey,” but she’s apparently retired.
Oh, and…HA! : http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021218111
If we are gonna have a pun thread with D’Shithead in it, we will have to be sure to get in plenty of insults. Punjabs, you might call them.
A writer for New York magazine is present for a D’Souza diatribe about Obama, delivered to an audience of students and “two potential donors” at the shitass college of which he is the president:
Shitass College is located in the Empire State Building. I hope D’Souza wasn’t inconvenienced by having to step over shell casings from that shooting last week. The poor dear might have thought for a half-second about how much the people he enables love guns and where that’s gotten us.
And I’ll repeat Nikki Rhodes and Lexi Belle.
Shitass College is located in the Empire State Building.
I’m just imagining the conversation:
NORMAL PERSON: So, where did you go to school?
TKC GRAD: The King’s College.
NP: Oh, Cambridge?
TKCG: No, THE King’s College. As in… Jesus?
NP: *aghast stare*
Dinesh, whodo the Hindu that youdo so well?
i find it amusing that ‘willard’ is showing on encore while the rnc is also on the air…
From previous tred …
Oh really, Maggie? They’re calling you evil? Why that’s horrible!
NOM NEVER does that sort of thing.
Goa is also one of the biggest sources of psychedelic drug music for those darn kids to be listnin’ to while trippin’ on ecstasy.
Of course it also plays very nice with old school doses like LSD and psilocybin.
The money shot from that link:
But if you have time, read the whole thing – it’s worth it.
I had a nasty tooth infection while I was in Goa. The bright side of it was that I got to meet a very interesting local doctor who was in her 80’s and going blind, but still practicing. At first I think that she suspected that I was just after some exotic pain killers, but she warmed up to me. She couldn’t believe that no American doctor had ever prescribed clove oil – which actually does work very well, despite its poor profit potential.
Wasn’t clove oil what Laurence Olivier offered Dustin Hoffman after torturing him dentally in Marathon Man? No wonder no American doctor prescribes that stuff. It’s Nazi (or Commie or whatever Olivier was in that movie).
Oooh thanks Pup!
He was probably in the 75% majority.
Top to bottom mmmm? *reaches for popcorn*
This NEVER happens to straight people, for whom the expression “seven year itch” was never coined.
Huh huh and dude, if you click on one of those ads… it’s really stupid, but you can fill out this profile of yourself. I just did it as a joke, of course. But you can totally research what it’s like to go to a Super 8 off of the highway and suck off a meth head who only makes you pay like $20 for it. It really opens your eyes to how depraved the gay lifestyle is.
D’Souza’s nickname at Dartmouth was – and I am not making this up – D’Stort D’Newza. Because of his tendency to, y’know, lie about everything.
Because I never see ads for straight hookup sites on the Internet.
All those ads for “Russian girls who can’t say no” with photoshopped pictures of Denise Milani* are actually ads requesting instructors to teach non-English-speaking Russian women how to say simple words like “yes” and “no”.
*What’s the point of photoshopping Denise Milani anyway? The woman is stick thin and has boobs bigger than her head. She looks like she was built by a horny 13-year-old boy (or possibly me, but that’s pretty much the same thing). Does she really need to be even thinner and bustier, ad-maker-dude?
The woman is stick thin and has boobs bigger than her head.
Boy howdy! How does the poor woman walk without falling face-down each step?
Alrighty then: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/28/opinion/brooks-the-real-romney.html?_r=1
Bonus irony from that article;
I listened to NOM’s Morse celebrate the announcement of San Francisco’s new archbishop, Salvatore Cordileone – often referred to as the “godfather” of Proposition 8, the California ballot initiative that banned gay marriage. Morse called the announcement a “poke in the eye to Castro Street,”
Turns out it was a poke in the eye to Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Oops!
Wasn’t clove oil what Laurence Olivier offered Dustin Hoffman after torturing him dentally in Marathon Man?
Yes. Is it safe?
Shit really does work – when I had a dry socket they packed wadding soaked in clove oil into it.
Pryme: What’s really nauseating is how they’re fellating him in the comments over that lame shit.
Though I have to admit enjoying the Tylenol with codeine that they also gave me.
They have this “debt clock” on the stage at the goober con? Teh Ho tells me someone suggested they put up a sign, “We made this.”
bobdamn i love jon stewart!

….And the convention becomes the 1934 Nuremburg Rally. The security wears brown, the audience is white, focusing national hatreds are the real agenda.
Where is the Bear Jew when we need him the most?
Considering that D’Souza’s ancestors apparently couldn’t wait to sign on w/ their Portuguese conquerors & start sucking up to the Pope, I’m hardly surprised he thinks being anti-colonialist is not a good thing.
Christ, what an asshole.
Waiting on “D’Sousa” to out Mitt’s “villany” regarding his nondisclosed IRS returns – no worries – I’ll wait.

In that case, it’s the heroism of nondisclosure because, SHUT UP, THAT’S WHY!!! Next up, Dinesh dishes about the “moral relativism” of liberals.
Next up, the tragedy of noncompetes.
Guans more likely.
I still remember the Daily Show interview when he was pimping his book (no, I don’t remember which one). Jon spent the interview gently pointing out that D’Souza’s whole premise was shit. Good times…
bobdamn i love jon stewart!
I love how his coverage for the RNC Convention is titled: “The Road to Jeb Bush 2016.”
I’m looking forward to the Jeb/Christie/Ryan cage match in 2016. Although, as Charlie Pierce has pointed out, Ryan seems to have a glass jaw.
Primary:
Don’t you remember that adopting bigotry against Black People is one of the prime steps in Americanisation? This insight is common to both “How the Irish Became White” and Richard Pryor’s bit about Vietnamese people kept off-shore until they could pronounce ‘nigger’ adequately.
You are standing between a man unfortunate enough to be born in Wogtown who wishes to become a solid citizen of the greatest, best country God has ever given man on the face of the Earth.
(I note with pride that my own people’s American-ness is still suspect in some quarters, and I think that this has something to do with our only three-quarters-arsedly adopting this particular bigotry, at least for a large fraction of our numbers.)
Secondary:
I agree with the post, but I’d hold off on making fun of his name, which is a very common Deshi name—and we have so much more and better in readiness against him, some of which estimable armamentorium was later on display in the post.
(Sorry to be a prude, but Bigotry is the Weapon of the Enemy, and imagine if a right-wing nut had done similarly with [say] my grandfather Schlomo’s name?)
I agree with Fnord. I try to refrain from (sincere, serious) racial, culture, gender or sexual-preference based attacks here because I don’t want to stoop to their level.*
The closest I’ve come is expressing bewilderment that a Latina congresswoman should make comments lumping Muslims with Mexicans because of their skin color and accusing them of universally intending harm to the US.
Now, being a lying, bigoted, ignorant dumbass, and showing it: that’s fair game.
And there’s plenty of that to go around…
*(Fat and ugly I might play with, but only as a secondary amusement.)
So how is “The King’s College” anything more than a vanity university? It’s a vanity project from some evangelicals with more money than sense, intended for students in the same situation.
I mean What’s the point of going to NYC for an education if the quality of that education is lower than what you might get at the Hog Waller Holler Institute of Technology? If you wanted the New York City experience, freaking move there already. Take two years at a community college and get an associate degree in business, and two years in the unaccredited small town holy roller madrasa of your choice and you’d get a better education and still come out hundred grand or two ahead. Think I’m kidding? All in, tuition, fees, and expenses is just north of $40K year. (source: http://www.tkc.edu/finaid/tuitionfees.asp )
If you’re lucky, the hiring manager at whatever place is desperate enough for warm bodies to examine your The King’s College CV, will think, is that you didn’t quite have the chops to get into the top rated school for Elvis impersonators and had to settle.
Don’t you remember that adopting bigotry against Black People is one of the prime steps in Americanisation?
I’m amazed by how much raw bigotry I encounter among gay white men. I don’t think it is more prevalent than in the general population, but it still baffles me. It’s like, where do you think gay people learned how to have a civil rights movement?
We seem to be on a cusp where rich Republicans are getting tired of denying the full benefit of their privilege to their gay children, but homophobia is still needed to supplement racism in rallying the “base”
The question is whether the future belongs to, “pay no attention to the economic reaming we’re giving you brown people, the gays are after your kids!” or, “you brown people are stealing my gay white money.” I guess that demographic shifts favor the former, while class bias prefers the latter. Either way I need a breakfast martini.

Better access to drugs other than meth; better-looking hookers.
Granted, but still, you can move to NYC and get all of that without going $40,000 in debt/year. Heck, you could get all of that by moving to Omaha.
Bodegas!
Better access to drugs other than meth; better-looking hookers.
Yes, they’ll have some tough competition when they graduate, but I guess if you can make it here you can make it anywhere.
Why would evangelicals want to go to college in NYC? It’s full of liberals, Jews (and not the good rapture-hastening Israeli kind) and swarthy minorities.
Wouldn’t they be happier at the West Texas Bible College and Diesel Engine Mechanics School in Lubbock?
Ruh-roh:
But hey…money equals speech, right? Who needs grassroots mobilization when you have dumptrucks full of cash?

Is there an echo in here?
Nobody, absolutely nobody in the Republican party knew how to work the grassworks circuit better than the Ron Paul machine.
Well, yeah, but that’s only because 20-something stoners living with their parents have TIME to work a ground game. I’m totally sure they’ll get the irony behind the freedoms they were granted under the Citizens United decision.
Is there an echo in here?
No.
Then again, I seriously doubt that more than 4 or 5 Paulbots are going to actually vote for the Kenyan Muslin Usurper Community Organizer Tyrant Fascist N***r.
Not gonna happen. Best we can hope for is that they stay home. Since they’re all intellectually challenged dope fiends, odds are in favor of them not showing up to vote…
Yes
no
better-looking hookers.
Yeah, but in NYC they won’t be your cousin. Need to keep it in the family.
Best we can hope for is that they stay home.
This would be helpful as it would hurt the Republicans down ticket as well. I suspect many of the Paultards will go and vote for Gary Johnson now. It would be a significant message to the GOP if Romney were to lose to Obama by about the same number of votes cast for the libertarian party.
–
Yeah, but in NYC they won’t be your cousin.
That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said about my cousin.
Is there an echo in here?
i think n_b is just adamant about better drugs and hookers…and actually, i’m sure some of them think of getting their edumacation in nyc as being tossed into the lion’s den…trial by fire…out of the frying pan and into the fire…a lesson in humility…suffering to get on god’s good side…plenty o’ proselytizing opportunities…i think you get my drift…
Haven’t seen Echo in some time.
Teh Ho tells me someone suggested they put up a sign, “We made this.”
Why won’t Teh Ho comment here? Tell him he’s invited.
So Saturday, my fiancee and I will be at a cookout where my parents meet her parents for the first time. So that could be fun. Here’s hoping that inviting my brother’s family with their 2 small children can help keep things light.
One hundred and First!
So, with regard to Our Dinesh – the old rule springs to mind that there’s no zealot like a convert.
@Bunnymen: “Haven’t seen Echo in some time”
I hear you.
Manly Kevin Williamson on the convention so far:
I recommend lots and lots of alcohol to keep the conversation flowing.

Don’t worry. Sometimes these things work out quite well. For example, my parents get along with my mother-in-law much better than my wife gets along with her. To my parents, she’s a charming, eccecentric older woman straight out of a Southern Gothic novel. To my wife, she’s an under-educated, overly stubborn woman straight out of a Southern Gothic novel.
i think you get my drift… – bbkf
So you think it’s less drugs and hookers and more about getting gay sex on the down low?
Where is the Bear Jew when we need him the most?
You called?
Somebody owes me a new keyboard.
An opinion about NYC is a foreign policy? No wonder he thinks Hawaii is another country. Major geography fail.
Or maybe he is refering to the message our domestic policy here sends to foreigners and doesn’t like it one bit. What does he have against religious freedom?
Well, Manhattan is an island, just like Hawaii. So neither of those places is really part of the great, white doughy mass of Murka. Hence foreign.
The cool thing about The King’s College is that they can charge EVERYBODY foreign tuition rates.
I find it amusing that D’Souza thinks that anti-colonialism would be seen as a negative by Americans – b^4
I find it odd that it is seen as a negative by so many Americans given our own “official” version of our national history.
Anyway, echoing M. Bouffant’s point about D’Souza’s ancestors, I am not so sure if this is Stockholm Syndrome or “I’m a real ‘Murkin too” posturing. I have family (through a cousin’s marriage) who are Bene Israel: they are rather, um, pro-colonialist (the family had to leave India in the late 1940s because they, as my cousin puts it, chose the wrong side in the Indian war for independence). It’s not surprising: that community did quite well under the British, thank you very much, considering that before the British came they were largely poor oil-pressers.
I’m sure D’Souza’s family was, way back when, not so high up on the socio-economic ladder but benefitted greatly from colonialism. Which may affect his views to today. So of course he, being a GOoPer projects his family history and pro-colonial inclinations in mirror image onto Obama and assumes that Obama must therefore hate America.
After all, if Obama didn’t hate America so much, why would he constantly be willing to compromise so much with the radically reactionary GOP … um … er … wait a minute here …
I find it amusing that D’Souza thinks that anti-colonialism would be seen as a negative by Americans
I suspect that to Americans of a certain age and viewpoint, the anti-colonialist efforts by the dusky-hued subjects of the past are inextricably linked with their alliances, i.e. the Communists. Therefore, being anti-colonialist is the same as being a fucking Commie.
It’s yet another dog whistle.
Yes it was super rude of the communists to point out the natives of colonized countries were getting the shaft. They could even be pardoned for pointing that out to the world at large, but when they made their case to the people being colonized, that was beyond the pale.

Beyond the pale? I see what you did there.
Seriously, though, part of the problem was good ol’ Ike’s foreign policy team. He may have warned us about the military-industrial complex upon leaving office and he did certainly hold off the big pressure to
give lots of money to military contractorsreally build up our resolve to fight off communism (which JFK and LBJ only too gladly put on the front burner), but his foreign policy team really did know how to be underhanded in their support of multi-national resource extractors/agribusiness all while being so high-minded about not hondling with third world tinpots looking for some high quality foreign aid, that they drove all sorts of people into the loving arms of the communists.I’m sure we (i.e. those who associate anti-colonialism with communism) would view anti-colonialism quite a bit differently (and even view which side of certain disputes was the “anti-colonialist side” differently) if Ike’s team weren’t so underhanded in supporting global
treating third world resources and land like Bain capital treats the businesses it buyscapitalism or at the very least weren’t so clumsy in dropping the ball when third world leaders asked us for “aid”, which allowed the Soviets an in, so to speak. But as it was, the aptly named Dulles brothers handed the Soviets the anti-colonialist banner which they ran with (even as they practiced their own colonialism/imperialism).BTW, OT, on NPR today they were interviewing some banker who claimed that Dodd-Frank will hurt his business and that’s why we need to elect Romney to improve the economy. When asked for a single regulation that actually hurt him, he couldn’t name one. All he could come up with is “that there are so many regulations — the printed version of the bill would be taller than the empire state building — we don’t know how they will even effect us”. After all, nobody can reasonably expect bankers, who need to figure out which loans are good and which are not without knowing with certainty everything about the future of their borrower, to be able to deal with uncertainty. And nobody can reasonably expect the people who give us mortgage forms to fill out to be able to read reams of paper.
Seriously, if this is the problem with regulations, then what we need is not to have fewer regulations or more GOoPers in office but simply to send our Congresscritters who write the bills back to college to retake Writing 101 so they can learn things like “Keep It Simple, Stupid” and “miniskirt length” (long enough to cover the subject, short enough to be interesting). Heck, send ’em back to middle school, which is where I learned about KISS and miniskirt length …
All he could come up with is “that there are so many regulations — the printed version of the bill would be taller than the empire state building —
it also makes you want to say, ‘then quit doing shitty things!’
Obviously we need to make the empire state building taller!
The reason the bill is so bloated is because all teh bankers demanded exemptions, carve outs, etc until the end product was this gigantic mess that doesn’t really regulate anything and they’re STILL bitching about it.
Statutes often are often very badly written, with so many clear errors, internal contradictions, and poorly defined terms that you wonder how these people have the competence to brush their own teeth.
It is also an impossible task to anticipate all of the shitty things that a company might try to do and prohibit those things. I like Judge Posner’s idea of an FDA for financial instruments. New ideas are analyzed for potential harm, then approved or denied before being let loose in the market.
Trouble is, it would take about three-and-a-half minutes for such an agency to succumb to regulatory capture, so we may as well just stock up on canned goods and duct tape and wait for the next meltdown.

IOW, this is yet another example of a GOoPer taking the old bullying tactic of forcing you to hit yourself and then saying “why are you hitting yourself?”. Alas, too many Democrats seem to be all too eager to hit themselves.
It also reminds me of the Sideshow Bob Roberts. I think that episode encapsulates the entire strategy of the GOP. Which makes it odd that the Democrats can never seem to anticipate what the GOP does … of course, the Simpsons also predicted (in another Sideshow Bob episode) flying a plane into a building (in order to kill Krusty) and yet … well … nobody could have predicted …
Also, the bill is 2300 pages. Yeah that’s a lot to read but it’s a good 1248 feet shorter than the empire state building. Unless you stack your paper end to end which is a pretty good trick.
Last week or so they interviewed some guy and his wife. He also complained about “all the gubblemint regulations.” When asked whether he had been affected he admitted that he had not. He was voting for Rmoney anyway because “I have the feeling they [Obama] are gonna make more.”
Yep, notice how he took all your guns?
Stuffing the dry socket.

Doesn’t sound all that appealing, actually.
IOW, this is yet another example of a GOoPer taking the old bullying tactic of forcing you to hit yourself and then saying “why are you hitting yourself?”. Alas, too many Democrats seem to be all too eager to hit themselves.
yep…and when anyone calls them on it (yes, i know) then it’s ‘you’re the real racist!’

Well, sometimes when laydeez get older they get menopause and… Oh. Your tooth you say? Never mind.
Last week or so they interviewed some guy and his wife. He also complained about “all the gubblemint regulations.” When asked whether he had been affected he admitted that he had not. He was voting for Rmoney anyway because “I have the feeling they [Obama] are gonna make more.”
this is something i’m just dying to do…the next time somebody bitches about how hideous life has been under obummer’s regime, imma call them on it…i do not know ANYbody who has been appreciably affected directly by obama…last weekend, one dude was bitching about how his overtime is taxed beyond comprehension and said, ‘thanks obama!’…i should have called him on it, but alcohol was involved…
Wait, what?
I heard parts of that fat fuck Christie’s speech. Dog whistles. Dog whistles EVERYWHERE!

In re Chris Christie’s speech, as I commented at the baby blue devil’s blog:
Ya just gotta hand it to the fellow: behind a sea-sickness inducing constantly shifting background, he first described how his father benefitted from big government/liberal programs and then described what a tough live his mother had growing up (which life would have been much better if there were a better safety-net around) and how his grandmother had a heckuva commute to work (from a governor who killed a project to make commutes easier). And then he proceeds to say we need the GOP in power to reduce government spending? And he then claims the Democrats are the ones who are pitting the current generation of seniors against future generations of seniors by playing political games with social security (after basically telling seniors that they should do the right thing and subsist on cat-food). And then he brags about fiscal responsibility and good governance — this from a man who claimed NJ was out of money when it came to punishing his political foes (such as us educators) then suddenly found money to “save” K-12 education and then decided to give-away money that wasn’t even there with tax cuts to the rich. And he also disses teachers’ unions — he being the governor of a state with horrid curriculum standards that are only improving due to the dogged work of teachers’ unions pushing through a national curriculum.
Yep. Chris Christie is indeed the new face of the GOP. Alas, low information voters will believe everything he says and lap it all up …
Needed minor adjustments.
I’ve had this conversation over taxes more than once. Here’s how it typically goes:
“Obama’s taxes are crushing me”
“Actually, Obama cut taxes.”
“You don’t know my finances! My taxes went way up under Obama”
“Well, then you’re either earning more money or earning it more honestly.”
Or at least, that’s how I piece it together retroactively. In the moment I usually just sputter and try not to choke the idiot.
From the Ron Paul thing mentioned up thread:
If he wasn’t obviously completely fucking insane I might almost like this Mark Carducci person.
“Well, then you’re either earning more money or earning it more honestly.”
Or it could be, if you live in a state with state taxes, that your (possibly Republican) governor raised your taxes. Wingnuts are prone to conflating the two if it allows them a way to blame the ni.. Democrat.
Statutes often are often very badly written, with so many clear errors, internal contradictions, and poorly defined terms that you wonder how these people have the competence to brush their own teeth.
In the biz they call those poison pills.

How Washington works:
Big business does something that is so bad that there is a huge public outcry. After a few years of this Congress takes notice and decides SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. Eventually they decide that there should be regulations. With the help of big business lobbyists they create regulations that have little effect on the original problem but give the appearance that SOMETHING WAS DONE. As an added bonus for big business, these regulations are often much tougher on small business than on big business and so help stifle the competition. Then ten years down the road the big business folks can fuss that the regulations are nearly useless and hurt small business and we must get rid of them.
Except that most of the legislation aimed at big business and their scams ends up targeting and hurting smaller businesses. I know my small business is paying WAY WAY WAY more in taxes (as a percentage of revenues) than any publicly held company. Government policy that regulates business works exactly the same way that tax policy works. Shifts all the burden to the middle and lower classes and lets the rich assholes do whatever they feel like.

I read that. I is dumber now. Also, I is confused. Am I supposed to hate Neil Armstrong? Also, what is happening to our moon colonies? Is Obama having a mandate on the moon? So strange…
…Finally, nasa. No explanation other than anticolonialism makes sense of Obama’s curious mandate to convert a space agency into a Muslim and international outreach. We can see how well our theory works by recalling the moon landing of Apollo 11 in 1969. “One small step for man,” Neil Armstrong said. “One giant leap for mankind.”
But that’s not how the rest of the world saw it. I was 8 years old at the time and living in my native India. I remember my grandfather telling me about the great race between America and Russia to put a man on the moon. Clearly America had won, and this was one giant leap not for mankind but for the U.S. If Obama shares this view, it’s no wonder he wants to blunt nasa’s space program, to divert it from a symbol of American greatness into a more modest public relations program….

Helpfully clarifying: a DILDO is not a PENIS.

DON’T SPOIL THE MOOD.
An academic tries to answer the question, “Why Aren’t Conservatives Funny,” by examining how Dennis Miller lost his mojo when he decided to become a conservative. It concludes with the typical circumtopical gymnastics of an academic:
How about looking at the kinds of jokes Dennis Miller tells vs. John Stewart’s.
Almost all conservative humor that I’ve seen on radio and TV — and especially the unfunny stuff (which is almost all of it) — consists of the same two schticks over and over again, either a) allusions to (or outright repetition of) bigoted stereotypes of [hippies|liberals|blacks|latinos|gays|muslims|scary others], or b) echoing right wing fallacies and intellectual dishonesty. And to many conservatives, these *are* funny –at least they seem to elicit reflexive laughter– because the audience knows they’re supposed to laugh. And whether the audience thinks it’s funny or not, these conservative “humorists” make them feel better because these kinds of jokes reinforce the conservative listeners’ sense of superiority and ‘rightness,’ strengthen their social bonds to a group defined by a rigorously uniform set of collective opinions, and helps lessen the stress of the cognitive dissonance that permeates their lives.
Non-right-wing humorists — those widely acknowledged as funny, including everyone from Tim Allen to Jay Leno to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert — create their jokes by pointing out the inherent absurdity in everyday situations and public events. Stewart, especially, has a talent for this and that’s why his show is so successful. It’s not about whether the example of absurd behavior or speech comes from a liberal or conservative public figure, it’s about the absurdity itself. You don’t see ad hominem or stereotypes used as the basis for a joke on The Daily Show. You see Stewart or one of his correspondents pointing out or acting out an example of absurdity, usually in allusion to current events.
And absurdity makes most people laugh, regardless of political orientation. That kind of humor makes them feel better because it makes their own lives feel less absurd and more normal. If you look at any attempt to define humor, a reference to the absurd is right at the top of the page. Absurdity is funny. Even Miller’s pre-9/11 funny material wasn’t allusions to Dubya’s intelligence – it was his ability to point out irony and absurdity, and his ultra-snarky delivery.
Dennis Miller stopped being funny because he stopped telling jokes that most people find funny… because they are not jokes, just more right wing echo chamber reverb dressed up in grease paint and floppy shoes.
Apparently the truth DOES set you free
Just maybe not in the way you were thinking…
I’m sure D’Souza’s family was, way back when, not so high up on the socio-economic ladder but benefitted greatly from colonialism. Which may affect his views to today.
They were Portuguese-Indian Christians from the colonial elite. They seem to have fled from thence to Mumbai when Goa was belatedly decolonised in the year of D’Souza’s birth.
“that there are so many regulations — the printed version of the bill would be taller than the empire state building — we don’t know how they will even effect us”
Maybe he’s afraid it’ll fall on him?
I have it on good authority that feathers hit the ground before the weights can leave the air.
To me, 99% of conservative “humor” seems to revolve around one basic joke: If you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?
I used to sort of like Dennis Miller when he had his own show. It was a strange sort of esoteric, long winded and heavy on goofy references. I dig that sort of thing for some reason (intellectual snobbiness, maybe? I don’t know)
But he doesn’t even try anymore, and he is visibly pained at the idea that he’s trying to make jokes out of reichwing dogma. There’s nothing funny about any of that shit because the sole purpose of that shit is to scare the fucking daylights out the boogereating segment of the population. That doesn’t translate well to comedy. There’s an underlying rage to his bullshit that he can’t pull off. Lewis Black can do it, George Carlin did it, and those are the only two truly funny people I can think of that have a sort of mean streak to their humor. Dennis Leary sounds exactly the same as Miller. This shit isn’t funny, this is an angry malcontent trying to make jokes out of yelling at kids to get off their lawn and pull up their damn pants. Even Black and Carlin can be tiresome with that shit sometimes. Miller would be doing himself a big favor by leaving that shit to the professionals and just getting his own hateshow on Fox or something.
a DILDO is not a PENIS
Oh. Right then. Very well.

The video of the Republican delegates screaming at the woman from Puerto Rico is frightening. Hateful rat bastards.

Dido is cute as hell.. TSAM LIKE.
doing standup in Oakland, or Detroit or Flint MI until he remembers how to be funny?
Which is to say, that unless he stops comforting the comfortable and afflicting the afflicted, Dennis Miller is going to wake up one day with less integrity than Bill Buckley and less laughs than… I dunno, Bill Buckley again? A good comedian can get a laugh out of almost any crowd, whereas the last time Dennis Miller got a laugh was the last time he slipped on dog poop in front of an elementary school playground.
doing standup in Oakland, or Detroit or Flint MI until he remembers how to be funny?
He’s too old. All of us that sort of liked him way back when he wasn’t batshit stupid and crazy aren’t going to be won back. His only hope would be to grab a new generation coming up, and there’s no way that’s going down. He’s not what the kids might call a “hep cat” anymore. Mostly because he would unironically use the term “hep cat”.
I vowed to hate Dennis Miller forever when I saw him on Bildo’s show debunking global warming by telling everyone how he remembers that it was so much hotter when he was a kid than it is now. Though it was really good insight into the mental state of your average reichwinger, I know that fuckhead is at least a little bit smarter than that.

Also, that’s an old old (dare I say shopworn) joke in the industry. The nerdier and lonelier among us like to say we sell knobs, knockers and butts.
Butts refers to full-mortise hinges, which stupid people still refer to as butts for some inexplicable reason.

don’t be so sure…i’ve been working out and building some nice muscle mass, so if we go per pound, could add up to quite a haul…

Tahhh, the Chaz Bono thing. Thought his name was familiar.
Soo, if you can get rid of that second molecule you have something that is FUN.
Ablow was also the one explaining how Gingrich’s history of marital infidelity would make him a better president…
and that we should all be VERY VERY WORRIED about ‘The Hunger Games’, which was going to turn an entire generation of teenage girls over to the Dark Side of violence.
When he’s not warning people of new social threats to be VERY VERY WORRIED about, he’s pimping anti-anxiety drugs.

My reality show concept–
Take groups of teabaggers/tighty-righties and groups of lefties, have them battle each other in a game show style test of knowledge of history, math, science, English, etc…
The losers have to shut the fuck up.

hmmmm…that is surprisingly tame of you…
Don’t get ahead of yourself, there might be duct tape and a staple gun involved.
grrr…someone has sent me a docx file from their galaxy tablet and i can’t get the damn thing to open…i’ve added the windows compatibility suite and still no go…any ideas?
never mind…i got it…
Yes.
Sadly, none of them are related to this.

We can’t kill them right there on TV–not yet, anyway.
Also, there is always a chance that our guys will lose. I figure that losing any contest of knowledge (USEFUL KNOWLEDGE) to a teabagger means you should probably keep your yap shut forever.

Most generous headline ever:
ABC News.
Pfft. More leftist eliminationist rhetoric.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to put this Liberal Hunting Permit bumper sticker on my car.
Liberal Hunting Permit
If I ever see one of those in person and I get the opportunity, I’m SO CHALLENGING the cunt driving the vehicle. It would be awesome to corner one of those fucks and call them on their bullshit.

Down here in Florida I figure that language is threatening enough that I can just stand my ground and shoot ’em.

My whole office is running on LO. It’s good and each version since it was freed from Sun is faster and more stable than the previous one.

I figure there are two types of assholes who would put that kind of shit on their trucks:
1) The middle aged guy wearing birth control glasses, flannel and mom-jeans from Walmart. An angry little shit who just wants the world to be his world.
2) A fat, hairy, stupid redneck who chews Copenhagen and wears lots and lots of camo.
I like my chances in a fistfight, knife fight or gun fight with either of these fucking pricks.
fucking pricks
What else are they good for besides pissing?
Kicking against.

FAT JOKES ARE TERRIBLE. You will be surprised to see Michael Moore’s name in comments.
yes, but only if being cranky and annoyed while performing sex acts with grody men could be a market…
The world’s worst whore is cranky and annoyed, but after she takes your money she gets a headache and falls asleep on you in the most uncomfortable way possible. She also has the worst sleep apnea ever.

Putting you to sleep for 100 years?

Chris Christie is twice the man David Letterman is. At least.

has anyone given a credible, factual answer about why you need id to vote in person, but absentee ballots are a-okay? i would really, really like to know this…we are forced to vote with a mail-in ballot and it just seems to me that that it’s just as easy to game that system as it is in person…easier even…
why you need id to vote
I demand laws saying that you can’t vote without a superego. No repub will ever be elected again.

LOL. Why do we need credible, factual information? WE’RE TALKING ABOUT BLACKS HERE! BLACKS!

dammit! my liberalism was showing again, wasn’t it? srsly…i wish you guys would have told me that a long time ago…
also, my tagfail has made a most noticeable appearance…
Also, I am more than happy to be a WA State mail-in ONLY voter. I hated going to poll stations. Poll stations, especially the ones with those rigged Diebold voting machines, are a perfect strike point for disenfranchisement. They’ve been doing it since 2000 and it’s only getting worse.

Don’t be afraid to show off your liberalism…other bitches are just jealous.

Wait what? I thought they were supporters of that particular fat joke.
Down the Big Hollywood front page Christian Toto has Richard Corliss “weighing in” on a Michael Moore movie. Ha! Ha!
This is worth being “ahemed”. (some days, you guys just move too fast for me to keep up)
Is it possible for the court to order him to wear pink underwear before conviction?

I thought this said “supernegro” which would be AWESOME.
You mean superawesome, of course.
Speaking of superawesome, where the hell has vacuumslayer been lately? Don’t tell me she’s devoting time to raising her kid…I’ll be sorely disappointed.
Even if Joe loses that court case, it’s a civil suit, according the folks at DKos, so he probably doesn’t have any pink underwear in his future. He’s dug in so tight I can’t see any kind of legal proceeding at less than the Federal level pushing him out. He’s 80, so I really think the best tactics to get rid of him are smoking heavily just upwind of him, making sure he always has a double espresso and a shot of tequila within arms reach, and making sure his day is filled with sudden loud noises.
