Baby killer? I didn’t think she cared about drone attacks.

Nate Silver should seriously contemplate shoving his infallible crystal ball up Dick Morris’s and Karl Rove’s fat asses.

Here’s my thumbtack analysis of the elections that should tide you over until I can properly respond to last evening’s historic night.

Nelson Muntz. I can’t remember anything important but I can remember stupid shit like that.

What a vile, stupid, and utterly poor excuse of a “public intellectual.” She gives sophistry a bad name. And she’s actually smarter than Ross Douthat. Imagine that.

Awww, I’m listening to a sad wingnut on (of all places) NPR’s Brian Lehrer show. It’s awesome!

Here’s my thumbtack analysis of the elections that should tide you over until I can properly respond to last evening’s historic night.

It’s a great analysis. This election marks a significant shift leftward. Here’s my take:

An incumbent president won re-election after 4 years of heavy unemployment and sluggishly lacklustre economic performance. The contested Senate seats went to Democrats and allies 3 to 1. While there were only modest gains in the House, they were at the expense of Tea Party representatives. Big ticket referendums went to the progressive side wherever they were voted on. Last night was a complete and total “refudiation” of the conservative world-view and the horse it rode in on.

The fact is, you have won nothing, eleit liberals. Here in the Heartland, we will rise up against the Ursurper and his illigitimate victory, which was gotten by Voter Fraud which all Demoncraps support.

We, the true Americans, will insure you Obamanazis have a pyrick victory. We have a man date for lower taxes and less government, which if you igonore will insure backrupcy.

The fact is, America in the Heart Land is still conservative and the Obummer will never be my President. We, teh True Americans will rise up before forced to pay for abortions and free meals for minorites.

The fact is, traditional values are still alive here in the Heartlqand even thou you liberal criminals stole the White House again. Obama is not trqadition, he is a Marxist and a Socialist and that is not what the founders attended, he also wantsw to remove religion and guns from our country along with the Whites, which means he will not win here in the Heart land

Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man DateMan Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man DateMan Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man DateMan Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man DateMan Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date Man Date

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

[Looking behind himself.]

Anyone coming with me? Anyone? Anyone?

The fact is: fiscal cliff, Iran, abortion, Fast and Furious, gays, religion, white minority, demographic browning.
Voter fraud, not supression its called getting your ass to the poll and having proper papers we can do it why is it so hard for minorites who have to cheat and be acommidated?

The fact is, we are going to beome Greece as Obummer torns us into a socialest hellhole by bankrupting our chi8ldren with debt, which is now 37 trilliondollars, and also Iran has the bomb and why do liebrals hate Isreal?

This is obviously good news for John McCain.

Fake Gary is in fine form this morning. Some of the spelling errors are a little over the top, but “Man Date” was perfect.

Stefanybe, his name is Nelson Muntz. You’re welcome.

And by that I mean, there were only two comments on this post when I loaded it, then went over to the SRS BZNS post to add my deathless wisdom.

The fact is gridblock begins tomorrow. Get your gloat on today libs. There will be no surrender or compromise from know one with the Kenyan. We saw the cellebration in Africa and will not forget.

“It’s a disappointing night, no doubt about it. Mitt Romney would have made a good, decent, competent, forward-looking president. But I guess people saw that too late.”–Lopez

Most people never saw that at all, Kathryn.

She’s always a downer, but today she’s positively sepulchral.

Disappointed about the assisted suicide loss, but it was incredibly close for a first effort in a state with a lot of Catholics. I personally thought it was worded very carefully, requiring 3 requests by the patient and at least 2 doctors, but I know lots of people wanted it to require a consultation with a psychiatrist. It’ll probably be tried again, maybe on a ballot with a recreational marijuana question.

I’ve been pestering my state senator for an assisted homicide bill, but no response so far.

I somehow envision a group of old farts stationed on the South Carolina border this morning in their camo with their Corner Pantry coffee cups and Shoneys/Cracker Barrel takeout bags, .22 rifles at the ready, watching for the army of Chicago urban kids who are due any minute to sweep through to impose The Great Marxist Kenyan Destroyer’s dictatorship.

Snerk.

Nope. the most important one in OR was something of a disaster.

zomg. I am disappoint.

My cup of schadenfreude runneth over for Karl Rove, recipient of a major, major comeuppance last night. He encouraged billionaires to piss away millions of dollars to influence the election and has *nothing* to show for it. Here’s a guy who has spent his entire adult life thinking up ways to fuck over his political adversaries. If there is any justice in the world, he’d be looking at an exciting new career opportunity as an assistant manager at a chain restaurant.

We love the smell of wingnut tears in the morning.

If there is any justice in the world, he’d be looking at an exciting new career opportunity as an assistant manager at a chain restaurant somebody’s bitch in a prison.

F’ed for truth justice and the American way.

So not a complete sweep on ballot measures. Still two referendum passed in favour of gay marriage, and the one looking to ban it failed – that state also failed with their voter ID measure. Two states voted for decriminalizing marijuana possession. California voted for a tax increase as well as mitigating the three strikes law. Florida turned down “zomg state funds for abortions is murder” as well as for keeping a ban on state funded religious schools.

It certainly wasn’t a bad night for progressives on referendum measures. Not perfect for certain, but some real progress made.

I would have felt better if Bachmann had been turned out along with West.

Just imagine them behind the counter at Chick-Fil-A.

I think voters went with the devil they know, as it is said, vs. the one they only started to get to know, and not entirely.

did k-lo just call mittens a devil? and an unpopular devil at that?

The fact is: fiscal cliff, Iran, abortion, Fast and Furious, gays, religion, white minority, demographic browning.

I would have felt better if Bachmann had been turned out along with West.

i heard on the raydio this morning that recount could be a possibility…with o’l crazy eyes i mean…

Shyeah, K-Lo, people didn’t know Mittens well enough, yeah, that was the problem.

I’ve been pestering my state senator for an assisted homicide bill, but no response so far.

Quit hinting already. Just ask me! I’m always ready to assist.

As I asked Tuesday morning when Planned Parenthood pointed to girls asking their moms not to forget to vote for the right to abort children: Is this really who we want to be?

yes…yes, it is k-lo…apparently most believe women should have a choice when it comes to not only their own bodies, but bringing another life into this world instead of all women becoming autonamous baby incubators…

Teaparty guy on NPR just said Romney lost because he wasn’t conservative enough and this will make the TP stronger. JUST YOU WAIT.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Tucker Carlson tweets: No single factor helped Obama more than dropping marriage rates. Unmarried people voted for Obama. Far more of them than ever before.

Sorry no link, saw it at Sullivan’s.

The best mango so far from K-Lo’s page:

The fact that there is a demographic that honestly pins their vote to the degree of freedom they have in killing their own children is pretty much all I need to know that it was a huge mistake to allow that demographic group to vote in the first place.

So there’s the answer: Get rid of the 19th Amendment. And I’ll bet this guy isn’t real fond of the 15th, either.

The good news is the promise of continued massive unemployment among young people.

Yeah, “young people” like Aiken, West, Brown, Murdoch, Romney…

*snicker*

From gm’s Salon link, Donald Trump: Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.

For certain values of ‘us’ it is true, Donald, but you aren’t thinking of the the right ‘us.’

From the Salon piece: “Damn. CT is populated by idiots. RT @slone: DAMN!!!!!!!!!!Linda McMahon LOSES Senate race in CT #tcot”

Because they didn’t vote for the crazy wrestling boss lady? Christ.

“The road to despotism is paved with “fairness.””

Yes, freedom is all about unfairness. I say we start down that path by Thomas Sowell SHUTTING THE FUCK UP.

“The good news is the promise of continued massive unemployment among young people.”

Oh honey, you are not young enough for that to be good news. Still, the election proved prayer works so I haven’t lost hope.

This would be a great time to own a company that makes survival seeds, guns, or that sells gold. Lol. #TeaPartyVotes

Or a company that makes gold seeds you shoot from guns! Profit!

“Or what, you’ll unleash the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark they shoot bees at you?”

One l survived by a margin of 1.2%. And that was entirely purchased seeing as how she outspent her challenger by a full order of magnitude.

I’m going through the Tea Party Caucus members to see how they fared. A lot better than I thought they might – but still some pretty shocking losses. Joe Walsh is out. Roscoe Bartlett first took national office at the same time as Bill Clinton. He’s out. Jeff Landry had to run against Charles Boustany due to redistricting and the establishment GOPper won out, Rehberg and Akin went on to challenge for Senate seats and both lost. Plus a handful of retirements so they’re down a few members. Sadly, it looks like their incumbency is about the same as the rest of Congress.

The good news is the promise of continued massive unemployment among young people.
— Ann Coulter

And what does she suppose making us older folks work ’til we die is going to do?

If I never get to retire, then no young person will be able to step into my job.

There was a comment on the Tumblr back up top that some wingnut was talking about burying their guns.

Hell, Teabaggers, why not just go all the way and plant yourself while you’re at it?

Same sex marriage good to go in Maine, Maryland and Washington.

Mary Jane in Colorado and Washington.

Now, normally I’d love to share the glory with states on that side of the country, but we did recreational marijuana AND same sex marriage by popular vote on the same ballot.

You will all become quite tired of hearing me crow and gloat about this. Give me all the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties you like. I don’t give a FUCK!

OH MAH HEART DONE BLEEDED

Not going to give _you_ any credit until I see the breakdown by county. _You_ guys out there in West Idaho aren’t the ones to get credit, I’m betting.

“recreational marijuana AND same sex marriage by popular vote”

More of THIS!

It will be interesting to see whether the Right figures out that Rove is not a wizard. He’s not a master strategist, his judgment is poor, he frequently says dumb stuff … I wonder what role, if any, he’ll play in 2014 and 2016. It depends how the oligarchs (not the movement mooks) assess 2012, but mostly they too seem well-hydrated by means of Kool-Aid. So maybe they’ll just double down on losing strategies, and then Rove can retire, no longer a political genius, but much more wealthy.

If I never get to retire, then no young person will be able to step into my job.

How long will young people be able to step into your job as fully automated or remotely operated drones become more popular?

This is awesome. The Romney campaign built a sophisticated vote-monitoring system, and then filled it full of shit. Garbage in, garbage out … Via Byron York:

“Some Romney aides were surprised too, especially since they had put an enormous amount of effort into tracking the hour-by-hour whims of the electorate. In recent weeks the campaign came up with a super-secret, super-duper vote monitoring system that was dubbed Project Orca. The name “Orca,” after the whale, was apparently chosen to suggest that the project was bigger than anything any other campaign, including Barack Obama’s in 2008, had ever imagined. For the project, Romney aides gathered about 34,000 volunteers spread across the swing states to send in information about what was happening at the polls. “The project operates via a web-based app volunteers use to relay the most up-to-date poll information to a ‘national dashboard’ at the Boston headquarters,” said a campaign email on election eve. “From there, data will be interpreted and utilized to plan voter turnout tactics on Election Day.”

Orca, which was headquartered in a giant war room spread across the floor of the Boston Garden, turned out to be problematic at best. Early in the evening, one aide said that, as of 4 p.m., Orca still projected a Romney victory of somewhere between 290 and 300 electoral votes. Obviously that didn’t happen. Later, another aide said Orca had pretty much crashed in the heat of the action. “Somebody said Orca is lying on the beach with a harpoon in it,” said the aide.”

(Emphasis mine.)

“I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction, but the nation chose another leader”

Would you like some cheese with that whine, sir?

How long will young people be able to step into your job as fully automated or remotely operated drones become more popular?

That’s a very good question. I think it’ll be a few years down the road (hopefully after I retire) before we see them in the cargo world. Longer than that before the public wants to climb into a remote-controlled airliner.

There are problems integrating them into the same airspace as manned aircraft – drones can’t “see and avoid” other aircraft.

The other problem is drones have a horrendous accident rate. Predators crash all the time, which isn’t a big problem because they’re (relatively) cheap. When a $218 million Global Hawk crashes (and they do) it’s a very big deal. That’s why the Global Hawk is being phased out in favor of the 50+ year old U-2.

It will be interesting to see whether the Right figures out that Rove is not a wizard. He’s not a master strategist, his judgment is poor, he frequently says dumb stuff … I wonder what role, if any, he’ll play in 2014 and 2016.

So maybe they’ll just double down on losing strategies, and then Rove can retire, no longer a political genius, but much more wealthy.

Considering all the billions he got from rich Republicans and what he delivered for it (ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NOTHING) Turd Blossom has a lot to answer for. Last night he was babbling like a guy who ends up “taking a ride” in those gangster movies.

Oh, those K-Lo mangoes, so sweet and juicy. I’m not getting much work done this morning.

It ultimately might mean that the Catholic Church no longer offer the sacrament of marriage to any couple in America because it cannot marry homosexuals; Catholics therefore would marry only outside the limits and jurisdiction of these United States…If the Catholic Church in America cannot recognize even its own marriages performed abroad, then Catholics ultimately would resettle in foreign countries and leave America permanently except as unmarried missionaries.

Yes, by all means, settle in Germany, France or any other country in Europe with a big Catholic population, and see how welcome your hissy fits over gay marriage, contraception, etc. make you there.

Last night he was babbling like a guy who ends up “taking a ride” in those gangster movies.

If there is any justice in the world, he’d be looking at an exciting new career opportunity as an assistant manager at a chain restaurant.

You know, this election cycle’s made me realize that Karl Rove isn’t nearly as smart as he’s given credit for. He got a big win in 2000 via voter suppression in a swing state, and still required a Republican Supreme Court to bail him out with a ruling so blatantly illegitimate they had to add a “not actually meant to be ever used in any other circumstance, ever.” He got a hail mary in the form of the 9/11 attacks without which his pony was virtually certain to lose the next election. And as it turns out this time around, when his one-trick pony (voter suppression) isn’t enough to put him across the finish line, he got nothing.

IK,R? WTF Oregon? As the map shows, Pup and I live in the correct counties at least.

There’s gonna be a big business for Vancouver, WA maryjane sellers to Oregon peeps, and an equally busy set of Oregon cops “randomly” checking Oregon cars coming back across the river.

And the Nooooj’s twitter freakout is hilarious. As was Trump’s quickly deleted tirade.

Next up, Kevin Williamson on the auto bailout, in the context of crying about Ohio:

Putting General Motors on federal life support is economically daft and morally dubious, but it gave the Obama administration a powerful tool for convincing middle-class workers that the president is on their side…The (mostly mythical) image of the blue-collar homeowner supporting a four-person family in comfort by spending 40 hours a week on the assembly line is up there with mom and apple pie in the pantheon of American sentimentality.

Yeah, my mother, sister and brother would really have benefited from having Williamson around to tell us that my father’s work at a GM plant was all a myth, and that the home and college educations he paid for didn’t exist.

If President Obama had associated himself with the bailout of, say, Eastman Kodak — which will cease providing health care and other benefits to 56,000 retirees as part of its bankruptcy — it would not have imbued him with quite the same glow.

Yes, perhaps because Eastman Kodak’s problem is that it makes photographic film, which no one uses anymore.

Williamson’s article is titled “How Romney Lost.” I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it was at least partly because Romney listened too much to geniuses like Williamson.

Thanks a lot Christians, for not showing up. You disgust me

So on an automotive related mailing list I’m subscribed to, this morning two people were soliciting to buy guns: “handguns and shotguns.”

But c’mon, you’re not surprised by that from Glenn are you?

(yes, I’m on the list too — I don’t know the other two folks, haven’t been around the scene much lately.)

Pup: breakdown of votes by county.

Spoiler alert: Spokanians lurve their dope but hate teh gayses and the demoncraps.

Subby’s link: “My sense, to the contrary, is that the Tea Party – which is a grass-roots movement, not a “party” – is actually quite representative of ordinary Americans”

The fact that they win big in off years when only retired old white people vote and don’t when the electorate is more representative of the nation as a whole proves this.

Not going to give _you_ any credit until I see the breakdown by county. _You_ guys out there in West Idaho aren’t the ones to get credit, I’m betting.

Weed, yes. Marriage equality, no. We don’t get the credit collectively, but I DID campaign actively to pass R74 and helped a little with the weed. So I personally, and all my coworkers, my oldest daughter, my parents, and 2 friends all voted yes, so I get credit for threatening them with harm if they voted no. (j/k, I didn’t threaten them, I hounded them like a BOSS)

But c’mon, you’re not surprised by that from Glenn are you?

Nothing he does surprises me, nor am I surprised by the right-wing bent of most of the members. What does actually surprise me is the continued “they’s gonna get mah guns!” meme that is circulating. I really thought it had died down.

Silly me.

Well, as long as someone suffers her sort reckon that life can’t be all bad.

A random Republican whines about their loss (long, cuss-filled). I thought it was a kind-of interesting look into the head of a heavy-duty Fox-addict, although I couldn’t stop grinning for the schadenfreude.

My reply by proxy

Still watching the house races, Dems have already won 193 seats and there are still 9 reported as still up for grabs, so Dems can only equal or better their numbers from the last Congress, they cannot lose ground.

Ordinary Americans live in houses, everyone else is some weirdo.

Repeated from last post because I didn’t notice this one:

I just read a piece on Rove’s inability to accept Fox’s (Fox’s!) call for Obama, and his insistence that nonono, Ohio was going Romney. It occurs to me that he knew the fix was in when it, in fact, wasn’t, thanks to the increased attention Ohio was getting. We may have Husted to thank for not having to go through litigation and uncertainty. If he had been a little less blatant …

K-Lo:

The Senate is such a disappointment as it is was such the result of unnecessary errors.

Unnecessary errors you say?

And I have to add that I decided pretty early on that Rove’s “smarts” consisted largely of going further past the previously accepted ratfucking than others.

BTW, on the topic of the gay witch and lie-beral bias and all that – since his model averages all the possible simulation outcomes to give the topline Electoral College prediction – Nate actually underpredicted Obama’s performance by roughly half of Florida. The “in-the-tank-for-the-Democrats” guy called for Obama to get 17 fewer electoral college votes than he did.

It occurs to me that he knew the fix was in when it, in fact, wasn’t,

That’s what I thought too.

What an excellent day! Rode to Windy Ridge (in NoFuckingvember!), Obama won in a landslide, marriage equality advanced big time, Allen West et al. are looking for work, the War On Drugs is mortally wounded (though it’s going linger on its deathbed too long), Karl Rove and his minions are made to look like effin idjits, a tsunami of whingnut tears is flooding the country and Teh Ho brought home tix for Leonard Cohen on Sunday! I am SO buying a tottery licket.

I think voters went with the devil they know, as it is said, vs. the one they only started to get to know, and not entirely.

Perhaps it would have been better if Romney had let the voters know more about him. Starting with his tax returns.

This would be a great time to own a company that makes survival seeds, guns, or that sells gold.
Mr Hawkins has had plenty of time to build himself one, yet all he can do is sigh at the missed opportunity. I blame the Interlattice.

I think voters went with the devil they know, as it is said, vs. the one they only started to get to know, and not entirely.

We knew him just fine. We got a rude introduction to him in 2001.

They can carry on and on about celebrities stealing the election but I doubt they will realize that threatening to ice Big Bird (and gloating about it) did more than authing else tohurt them. One does not simply fuck with Big Bird.

I think voters went with the devil they know, as it is said, vs. the one they only started to get to know, and not entirely.

As shown by his strong showing here in Mittsachusetts where we knew him best.

Williamson’s article is titled “How Romney Lost.”
I suppose “Because more people voted against him” is not the desired answer.

Fingers crossed for Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) as the next Hale-Bopp.

We all know what’s NOT to blame.

a great time to own a company that makes survival seeds

I should add that anyone who thinks that seeds are assembled in laboratories is probably not a farm-boy.

One does not simply fuck with Big Bird.

Pretty sure that looking Jim Lehrer right in the face and saying “luv ya bro, but you’re OUTA HERE” sent a pretty nasty message to people who aren’t totally fucked in the head.

We all know what’s NOT to blame.

Conservatism cannot fail! It can only be failed!

We all know what’s NOT to blame.

Wow. It’s like the most laziest blatant parody job a satirist could fart out. If any humourist had gone that exact post, they would be accused of phoning it in.

A random Republican whines about their loss

WOW!!! Somebody forgot to take their Valium…

re: Fox calling Ohio.

There’s apparently an interesting story about that.

More good news. Everyone except Alan West, says that Alan West has lost.

Allen West cannot fail!! He will secede before he fails!!

Nothing he does surprises me, nor am I surprised by the right-wing bent of most of the members. What does actually surprise me is the continued “they’s gonna get mah guns!” meme that is circulating. I really thought it had died down.

Silly me.

Yeah, the “Ohmahgawd, they’ll take mah guns! Even though they’ve done absolutely nothing whatsoever in that direction in many, many years, I just know they will, now, I just know it!” crap is pretty hilarious.

Aside: I raced against Glenn a few times when he lived in Portland and we raced PAX class together. He was an asshole then too.

Allen West should drag a podium and a flagpole deep out into the swamp and just keep on doing his thing.

“Megyn, be a dear and go get me some coffee check on those poll results, OK babe? Thanks.”

No need to hurry doll. Gawd they are slimeballs

We all know what’s NOT to blame.

3) Social conservatism: Mitt Romney centered his entire campaign around the economy and only occasionally, very delicately, stuck his toe into the water of social conservatism. Like it or not, Mitt Romney centered his campaign on the economy, the debt, and jobs — and he lost.

Oh oh let me try: 5) Human sacrifice: Romney centered his campaign on the economy, never once mentioning ritual killings. Like it or not, Romney campaigned on the economy, and lost.

Megyn does have excessively nice legs.

F) The Republican primaries. Romney centered his campaign on the economy, and never once spent 193 debates rolling around in a giant vat of depraved, craven diarrhea with a bunch of religious zealots, congressmen whose careers ended under ethics investigations, a batshit crazy lady who drinks the blood of virgins to keep alive, and a governor who revived Jerry Lewis’ early film roles, and a dude who once managed to get some pizza stores without ever becoming able to read and write or do math…Like it or not, Romney campaigned on the economy and lost.

The fact is, the fact is the fact. While the fact continues to enfactize the facts of this factual infactuation, the fact is that facts will never factualize the factification of the deepest factlands. When facts become enfacted and the unfacts lose their factual basis, the fact is that the defacto facts will rise from the facts and sprinkle wonderful true factification all over the true factlievers. It’s a fact.

In Allen West’s defense, he may be counting all of the voices in his head as qualified voters in which case he may actually have one.

Just got this email from Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley:

Thanks to your support, the Proven Progressive candidates we supported were all victorious. I look forward to working closely with Massachusetts’ Elizabeth Warren, Connecticut’s Chris Murphy, Wisconsin’s Tammy Baldwin, and Ohio’s Sherrod Brown in the Senate.

At the same time, I also have great hope that, last night, we took a great step toward reforming the filibuster.

You can buy steam from Con Ed in NYC rather than having your own boiler. The system was shut down last week and is only now being restarted, so my office has been without heat since it reopened last Thursday.

There are eight of us sitting here (as it’s snowing outside form the new storm). The office is maybe 50-55F. Everyone but me is wearing a jacket. I’m wearing a polo shirt. (Acid green, if you must know.)

Russian genes are a beautiful thing, this time of year.

An incumbent president won re-election after 4 years of heavy unemployment and sluggishly lacklustre economic performance. The contested Senate seats went to Democrats and allies 3 to 1. While there were only modest gains in the House, they were at the expense of Tea Party representatives. Big ticket referendums went to the progressive side wherever they were voted on. Last night was a complete and total “refudiation” of the conservative world-view and the horse it rode in on. – DKW

And yet, according to the talking heads on the radio and TeeVee, the House GOP now has a stronger mandate while Obama must keep his promises to be all bipartisan and shit and be willing to make whatever compromises it takes … I guess to enact the agenda of the DC Villagers and punditocracy or something like that.

This is awesome

“am not going to waste my energy on these sites anymore. America is now controlled by blacks and Hispanics and will turn into a third world country and there is nothing we can do about it

3/8ths of my great grandparents come from the Pripet marshes (northern Rivne to be more exact) and half of my great grandparents are of baltic origin. Most of the time my swamp-thing pallor, furry coating, my ability to find temperatures greater than 70 deg. F to be sweat inducing and my extreme love of hot beverages are detrimental. But in this weather, they all come in quite handy.

Well thank god someone wrote a book about it!

I didn’t do public predictions this year, but I fear I did see today coming. I’ve written a book to explain what went wrong – and to propose some ways forward. WHY ROMNEY LOST will release Friday as an e-book, with an excerpt also in the coming issue of Newsweek.

Yep. David Frum will save the day!

The key message I hope readers will understand: conservatism must modernize. Modernization is not an abandonment of the conservative message; modernization is the only way conservatism can survive.

Modernize. Got it. You mean stop warring on blacks, immigrants, gays, dirty fucking hippies, poor people, … In other words, everything your base holds near and dear. Good luck with that.

“The Untied States of America has voted; the monied elites and their know-nothing sycophants have carried the day. The closeted Socialist/Communist/Muslim occupying the renamed Offal Office sits like some vulture waiting for a carcass to age.”

We can but hope that Frum will press the wrong key and accidentally mail out his other version, “WHY ROMNEY WON”.

This seems to be a new wingnut meme: “23 million missing voters.”

“We can but hope that Frum will press the wrong key and accidentally mail out his other version, “WHY ROMNEY WON”.”

This I’m sure. Dude wrote two versions and had them both in the can. It’s easier to make predictions about the past.

Bitter Scribe: “I’ll bet this guy isn’t real fond of the 15th, either.”

Well, near as I can tell nobody on that side of things cares for anything other than Amendment 2, and that includes the whole original piece. “I trust my Leader to tell me the Right Thing to do, unless it’s a dang Lieberal Tyrant!” seems to be the watchword amongst the True Patriots.
Eh, I can’t gloat over the pathetic mewlings of the self-styled Manly Men and Women of the right. They’re whining around full to the brim of self-pity now, but soon enough they’ll refill their stock of anger, resentment, jealousy and hate and get back to work tearing down the country. It wouldn’t hurt to keep building on this by strengthening our local political organizations instead of just going back to reclining on our patchouli-redolent futons, sipping Chardonnay and reading Mao’s Sayings aloud to our fluffy cats..

Hoo boy, if you want to keep your finger on the pulse of the modern wingnut, you could do worse than track about half of the people who gradugated high school with me.

They are convinced that the stock marked drop was caused entirely by the re-election of President Obama (still love to write that). They are hoarding MREs and weapons for the coming apocalypse. They are passing around references to Ron Paul’s “Prepare for the OMG Apocalypse” treatise (it’s on his website, can’t be arsed, etc.). They are praising John Boehner’s post-election speech.

The tears are delicious but the buzz is marred a bit by the sense of the long slog ahead.

Also, the delay in FLA makes sense in this context. The GOP operatives there were just waiting for OH to go Romney, so that FLA could then win him the election by equally sneaky methods. Now they are stuck in neutral because it didn’t go down the way they planned.

Fucking Gary Johnson and Jill Stein

If you were to have dropped the F-bomb at the end of this clause and not the beginning, that would be an entirely different mental picture.

Asses in action.

So pretentious of Mr. Trump to be using the royal first person plural for himself.

Maybe he has a tapeworm.

During a butt break on the ride yesterday I was talking with a redneck from Vantucky WA. He was complaining that the SOCIALEST MUSLAMOKENYAN was going to take away all the money from small business people so they wouldn’t be able to hire anyone. I mentioned several things, among them that most of those people built their businesses when taxes were higher, that 98% of small businesses don’t bring in over 250Kbux a year (he also did not seem to understand the idea of _net_ income vs. gross receipts) but most importantly that no businessman I ever knew made hiring decisions based primarily on the tax situation but rather on whether they could meet customer demand. He agreed that more customers is the key then immediately complained that those job creators (he actually used those words which made have to stifle a derisive snort) won’t hire anyone because their taxes are going up!

When he asked me if I was okay with paying for some bum’s cell phone I said “let’s talk about the road conditions.”

Mr. Trump is a tapeworm.

You know, even thouigh wee all saw this coming from a looooong way back – it’s still a bit surprising. Barry’s helmed the boat for two years of 10% unemployment, one and a half years of 9% unemployment and a few months of 8% unemployment. The trend is in the right direction but the time scale seems to be in the wrong fucking units. Performance of the economy has been sorely lacking as well. Those GOP apologists have a great point – the fundamentals were all lined up against Obama and yet he’s pulled off a blowout win. He’s ahead so far that no one gives a shit about Florida not calling their final results – Even without them Hussein X is over 300.

Plus the Senate gains. The Dems increasing their Senate caucus wasn’t even considered a fantasy scenario only one year ago.

Let’s face it – Team D’s record since ought eight – not the best. Arguably worse than mediocre. The punishment from voters in 2010 certainly was not undeserved – and it is hard to think of any major changes they’ve made since that time.

So what happened? How did this unlikely scenario of wide-spread ascendancy of a crappy political party occur? There is only one answer, the alternative was clearly obviously worse in every way.

omigod the Republicans suck.

Oh noes! How will we ever be able to do that!?! It’s unpossible!

Certainly when Stein called Obummer to concede she gave him a stern talking to about being a true progressive and that drone bombing is mean and stuff. That’ll set him strait!

I’m going to drive home in the snow now. Wish me luck.

Paul Ryan is no longer the hottest Congressman. Brian Sims is indisputably the new HAWT Congressman. Best of all, he plays for my team and I ain’t talking about soccer (you can look that up yourself).

Good luck. Don’t tweet-and-drive.

Oh, dear. Looked at FB, which I rarely do (mainly source of adorable pics of youngest niece), and a nephew had posted that it’s “Time to leave America and become a woodsmen (sic).” He is 16, homeschooled, and lives in central TX. His daddy, my youngest stepbrother, thinks care of the poor and elderly should be left up to families, churches, and charities. Because it’s always worked so well, I guess.

Not that Ryan is or was actually HAWT, mind you.

The first “big” concert I ever went to was David Bowie (who was dull) in a big stadium, with Peter Gabriel (who was great) and The Tubes (who were okay) opening. At one point Fee Waybill was doing some standard dumb performance and tried to whack a plastic baseball out over the audience but instead sent it straight into the face of someone in the first few rows. He made an apologetic face and turned his baseball hat backwards in the standard representation of the dumb guy.

As a bald guy I wear baseball-style caps in the summer to avoid having to constantly re-apply sunscreen all over my head.

This time of year I switch to beanies to stay warm. Around here it seems like there are about two months out of the year it’s comfortable enough outside to go without some form of hat. On the plus side, not having to pay for haircuts saves me plenty of money to buy as many hats as I want.

Are they not gathered together in a cave grooving with a Pict?

That actually explains a lot — Trump is the pict!

My younger brother has taken to wearing a baseball hat much of the time (just not in business meetings, for ex.) but to his credit it’s never backwards, the rest of the outfit is always sensible, and he’s handsome and well-built, which never hurts.

I do wear baseball caps but rarely because they look stupid on me.

Spear could recommend you a nice fedora, OBS.

I have a couple vintage fedoras I picked up about 10 years ago, actually. Ever since the frat boys around here started wearing them I don’t. Also, fedoras are not the best summer wear — way too fucking hot. The caps I wear in the summer are really meant for running (which is another reason I wear them), made with wicking/breathable materials and are washable and stuff.

Also, too: as I think we’ve established previously, I am not the most fashionable person, but even I know that a fedora probably isn’t a great complement to my typical summer wear of a t-shirt and shorts. Or my typical winter wear of t-shirt and Levi’s 501s.

I wear baseball hats frequently when I need a haircut and haven’t bothered to get one. I often wear them backwards too. And I look damn fine either way. Bookmark it LIEbZ

Late to the party here…

On Megyn Kelly: yeah, she’s very attractive and it’s no secret that I am the shallowest human being alive, but there are so many non-crazy, stupid, and evil hot ladies out there to perve on. I’ll stick with, say, Diora Baird and Dita Von Teese, who both supported Obama on Twitter yesterday.

Also, this is an editorial cartoon that was released today. That’s some major “Dewey Defeats Truman” shit right there. Also, it doesn’t even make sense. Wouldn’t losing the election make it 100 Problems instead of 98?

While looking for images of strange hats, I found this.

(Beware! Nekkid wuman picture!!)

I love the Internet.

I generally wear this hat at informal occasions, like hanging out at a barbecue or relaxing poolside.

Minimal sun protection, though.

Allen West should drag a podium and a flagpole deep out into the swamp, and just keep on doing his thing. use the podium to climb up and sit on the flagpole and then drill baby drill.

FTFY.

Meant to do this one all afternoon.

Also, this is an editorial cartoon that was released today.

While trying to figure out who Mike Lester was, I came across this in his Wikipedia entry:
In March, 2012, Lester posted a cartoon that depicted Barack Obama as a pimp and characterized Sandra Fluke as a prostitute.

That I remember. The guy’s quite an asshole.

Allen West should drag a podium and a flagpole deep out into the swamp

All the kings said it was daft to build a podium on a swamp, but I built it all the same! Just to show ’em!

Also, this is an editorial cartoon that was released today.

A discussion of his landing lights might be amusing.

Interesting observation I don’t see anyone making: Mitt actually got fewer votes than McCain.

From Wikipedia:

Mitt Romney popular vote, 2012: 57,734,832 (preliminary)

John McCain popular vote, 2008: 59,948,240

Is Romney going to pick up an additional 2 million votes from last minute mail-in and provisional ballots?

I doubt it.

Mitt actually got fewer votes than McCain.

This discussion will inevitably descend to a discussion of Palin’s fapability versus Ryan’s, and Tagggg’s versus Meghan’s. IOW, I’m outta here.

So, what’s Sarah up to?

America, don’t lose heart. This election is not an “Obama mandate,” nor is it a rejection of conservatism. Unanswered ads like this one running in blue collar swing states defined Romney early on, and the Obama media also piled on with the narrative that Romney would harm the middle class. (As I personally have witnessed, once a bell is rung by a biased media, it’s impossible to un-ring it.) Ironically, it’s Obama’s socialist policies that will destroy America’s working class as he outsources opportunities.

This explains the soviet outsourcing of salt-mining jobs.

Fellow airplane liking persons. I watched a Spitfire taking off last evening from the hometown airport. Right nice it were.

America, don’t lose heart. This election is not an “Obama mandate,” nor is it a rejection of conservatism.

But in 2000 we were told that 5 electoral votes equaled a “mandate”. Got it.

Lest we forget.

Mitt actually got fewer votes than McCain.

This is striking, since back in 2008 the Obama legend wasn’t fully realized among conservatives. Some key elements were in place, but not like now.

So, according to “Day By Day” socialists are now the “Establishment” and wingnuts are hip rebel Che Guevaras.

O-kay, then, Delusional much?

I watched a Spitfire taking off last evening from the hometown airport.

That would be a sight to see. I’m told by people that fly warbirds that Spitfires are very easy to fly, with no bad characteristics.

“Ironically, it’s Obama’s socialist policies that will destroy America’s working class as he outsources opportunities.”–Palin

A script could write sentences like this. Outsources opportunities? WTF could that even mean? He might as well be nationalizing dreams, or taxing our grandkids’ hopes.

once a bell is rung … it’s impossible to un-ring it.

That is some heavy shit she’s layin’ down.

So, according to “Day By Day” socialists are now the “Establishment” and wingnuts are hip rebel Che Guevaras.

Their desire to be seen as “cool” is really pathetic. They are forever stuck in seventh grade.

From Malkin’s comments section:

The Congressional Republicans have no backbone. They just want to taste Obama’s sweat…

I’m told by people that fly warbirds that Spitfires are very easy to fly, with no bad characteristics. Something that I noticed as it was taxi-ing out to the runway was that you would not be able to see where you were going at all.

You liberals are soooo lame, enjoy your cheap high for your cheated win well it lasts, you HATE America and voted against us well we will have are revenge soon!

Boener will SHUT DOWN THE GOVERMENT and you can bite us, we will usrvive without it but liberals used to the tits of socialism will be helpless!

you can bite us

That sounds nice, but can we taste your sweat?

That sounds nice, but can we taste your sweat?

I doubt it’s as sweet as their tears.

Watched a one-off special on the alleged History Channel (it was originally a BBC production ) about the Battle of Britain that was interesting. Ewan McGregor’s brother, an RAF pilot, flies a Spitfire (at the end, natch). Gaaad I love the sound of those Merlin engines. Obi Wan gets to fly (passenger) in a herruhcain.

Colin McG waxed rapturous about how easy the Spitfire flies and how beautifully it handles I love the Spitfire but give me a fork-tailed devil (P-38 LightnIng) and I’ll cream my jeans.

But in 2000 we were told that 5 electoral votes equaled a “mandate”. Got it.

Dick Morris predicted a Romney landslide. When O-man exceeded the EC tally he had projected for Romney he said Obama “squeaked by.” The song remains the same.

but give me a fork-tailed devil (P-38 LightnIng) and I’ll cream my jeans.

My father, who was a boy in WW2 and became an engineer by trade, considers the P-38 to be the most perfect piece of technology to ever slip the surly bonds of motherfucking earth.

Dick Morris predicted a Romney landslide. When O-man exceeded the EC tally he had projected for Romney he said Obama “squeaked by.” The song remains the same.

I saw that. It’s painful to watch, is it too much to ask that he suffers as he does it?

I hear it tastes like butterscotch schnapps.

George “pull up your pants” Will gives me hope. He figures Marco Rubio will be the savior of the Rethuglican party. Yep, highlighting your token spicboy will save you. It’s encouraging because it shows they JUST DON’T GET IT and likely never will.

I always thought the only reason Dick Morris got listened to at all was because he used to be tight with Bill Clinton and that gave him some kind of weird cross-cred. But that was, what, 18-19 years ago? A little late to still be dining out on that, don’t you think, Dick?

The P-38 and the Mustang were two great aircraft all right. I saw a P-51 up close in the Christchurch air museum a while ago and it is a thing of great beauty, with a fecking huge engine inside it. No wonder they are so fast.
What was the Lightning like to fly? I have not heard about it in that regard.

From the LGM link:

Lotta great stuff out there for those who enjoy despair-of-the-broken-and-defeated posts.

Indeed there is. Here are some choice excerpts from Robert Stacy McCain’s Wagnerian whine-fest.

we are permanently and irretrievably screwed.

At the moment, I am convinced America is doomed beyond all hope of redemption, and any talk of the future fills me with dread and horror.

Speaking for my fellow cretins and dimwits, I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy for Robert Stacy in his hour of bleak, miserable, soul-sucking, crushing, grinding, hideous, nauseating, enervating, wretched, dispiriting, hellish despair. Hope you feel better in a decade or two.

They love their country. Just not most of the people who live in it.

From the Malkin link: “Montana voters said no to boundless benefits for illegal aliens.”

All the Lucky Ducky stories are inexplicable. At some point the largesse showered on the poor and unworthy would add up to something, no? But it never does. When we had a housing crisis, the Lucky Duckies who took out stupid loans ended up fucked. The lenders got “boundless benefits.” Who is scrutinized, demonized?…

Migrant workers (for ex.) living in camps, picking produce for sub-minimum wage, these are the people making a killing overall? Just balance their wages with the benefits, and you’ll see they’re sitting pretty? We have to derail that gravy train pronto?!… Movement cons seem to think socialism means sometimes supplying the bare minimum to keep an exploited class from being useless and broken, or (more likely) dangerous …

I don’t want to piss off a hemisphere half-full of latinos and mestizos. There are millions of formidable people of somewhat smaller stature than myself who I don’t want to tangle with. We would make a great team, and most folks are moving down that road. I’m willing to compete, even though these aren’t feeble-minded and -bodied Teabaggers futzing at oligarch-sponsored rallies on their subsidized motor-scooters… If I had a magic wand, I’d take citizenship from twenty million dead-weight wingnuts and give it to “illegals” in a heartbeat. It’d give me an excuse to finish learning Spanish.

They love their country. Just not most of the people who live in it.

America has failed them. And they had such wonderful plans for it.

The early P-51s were fitted with Allison Engines which were good but not all that great. They were moderately successful in fighter-bomber and … I think recon roles, mostly in RAF hands. The Allison engine had some deficiencies. Then Packard(?) started building the Rolls Royce Merlin engines under license. The amerlins fitted to the P51 transformed it from a good machine to a GRRRRREAT plane.

Yeah, two fags are quite up on aviation history and geek shit. Deal with it bitches.

Oh – the P-38 wasn’t the easiest plane to fly but when the pilot learned the plane it could do awesome things. It wasn’t hard to fly, it just took a bit of skill to fly it really well. That’s what I’ve heard – dear god I wish I could make my own judgment!

I’m going to be so sad when RS McCain leaves the country.

The cretins and dimwits have become an effective governing majority, and the question for conservatives at this point is perhaps not, “What does it mean?” but rather, “Why should we bother ourselves resisting it any longer?”

This, from the party of politicians who can never acknowledge that the Earth is not 6000 years old or that they believe anything other than the Biblical Creation Myth for how the human species originated – because if they DID they’d never get elected.

Awesome.

NOT! LOL

wingnuts are hip rebel Che Guevaras Unabombers and OKC bombers.

I have to fixerate everything myself.

There really is some amazing wingnut shit out there. At some site named Ricochet, the Defenders of the Ways of the Fathers post their final messages as the Dark Times envelop the Land of Freedom.

Webmaster Dave Carter:
At some point, events will run their course… and the country will implode…. Though this generation is lost, the fight continues for the next, or the one after that.

Various commenters:
But at some point, (future generations) will rise up. It’s the cycle of things. And when they do, perhaps a few obscure writings and ideas will survive from the era of freedom to guide the way.
– – – – – –
Seek out and find others like yourself. Forge relationships with people you can trust. There is always The Remnant to fall back on.

I can’t help but think of Matthew 24:19 though, Dave: “And woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!”

Another comment that’s probably meant to sound portentous, but ends up funny:

No society has ever stopped, after going Full Biden, until collapse.

What IS “Full Biden”? I think it’s no pants, but a T-shirt?

Anyone else struck by just how deeply existential the Emo Funk is in Wingnutland?

I think somewhere deep down they know that galloping from Far Right to Batshit Insane in 2008 was a serious chump move … & it’s even odds they’re going to try & see if the CrayCray button goes to 12, despite that terrifying little voice of reason whispering in the wind, telling them this is political suicide. The ongoing leftward shift in society isn’t a sinister brainwashing conspiracy: it’s a logical spinoff of technology enabling people to have it easy enough to live & let live, & making it easier than ever to find out how very much everyone on Earth has in common … & that progress is speeding up by the day, leaving their ideology ever further behind in the dust.

When you’re making even meat-based anachronisms like Reagan & Nixon look like lesbian handcrafters pimping their awesome new commune at Burning Man, you’re not even really a party any more – you’re the political equivalent of Scientology. Cults are always such jolly good fun, what with the profound kinship & sense of superiority to all the clueless dupes who can’t see how way hella kewl Our Great Leader is – but that fun fades fast when it’s YOUR turn to get up on the sacrificial altar.

They’re terrified of socialism … but the nemesis that’s kicking their ass is irrelevance.

One commenter in that thread quotes Protein Wisdom:

One other thing, and I’m serious about this: consider some sort of identification, a kind of marker, that lets others of your kind know who you are and where you stand implicitly. Get over your aversion to tattoos; a small “live free or die” or “don’t tread on me” somewhere on your person might just one day save your from the zombie hordes. Hell. Use henna if you have to. If you’re into irony, maybe a yellow Star of David sewn to your suit jacket.

Because make no mistake. They’ll be coming. They have to. It’s just a matter of how long it takes before the revolution starts and the country divides into factions. The takers have now voted themselves your labor and liberty. But I suspect when it comes time to forcibly take it, that’s when the seriousness sets in.

I was impressed that Godlstein can conflate the Blutgruppentätowierung of Waffen-SS membership with the yellow stars of the 1941/42 decrees, as if the two groups blur together in his mind.

Reading those nutjob comments reminds me of the white nationalist crazies that banded together during the “dark days” of the Clinton administration and whose ideas later became the seed of the eliminationist bigotry that infected the GOP after Obama’s first election victory… now they’re doubling down on their eschatology and the rhetoric is even more urgently nihilistic.

Yea, if I sound like David Neiwert, there’s a reason.

It really does make me fear what they’re going to try if they actually do manage to gain more power in the future.

Because they’re not going away. They’re only going to stew on their hatred and its only going to fester and intensify.

Eventually they’re going to go so far as to scare or piss off everyone else, and then claim that the liberal socialists have finally gone full totalitarian on them, and use that as a justification for doing something truly nasty.

Only then will this country shame and delegitimize them, something we should have done long ago.

Aaaand, on that note, goodnight all. Sweet dreams!

I’m listening…

Seek out and find others like yourself.

Gee, I wonder what the major distinguishing attribute of all these “alike” people could possibly be.

As a Jew, if I saw someone wearing a yellow star of David sewn into their jacket, I would punch them right in their fucking face. And keep punching them until they repented and took the star off.

That is not a piece of performance-art irony for you to put on for your pissy little right-wing tantrum, fuckwits.

How can they win NEXT time?!

Well…some advice would be to stop being fucking asshole Republicans.

Either they believe what they believe and keep on trucking as an increasingly marginalized group of throwbacks, or they don’t really believe what they claim to believe, in which case I don’t get why they keep calling themselves conservatives.

If they have to lie and cheat to fool people into thinking they are something they are not just to get elected, then what is the point?

Do they consider themselves some sort of racial group? Are wingnuts to the manor born? This is a genetic thing? Have we been insensitive to evolutionary dead-enders? Is this how the Neanderthals went?

It’s no fair winning the thread twice, Snorghagen. Save some of the funny for rest of us.

Wait. Can you divvy out? Or do you necessarily have to divvy up? What happens if you divvy down?

Well, the entire regalia of 18th Century American Revolution has been cosplay-fodder for the last 2 years, so I wouldn’t put it past them. But even as a goy myself, I’d be right there punchin’ with you. It’s all amusing to see them entertain their little bourgeois revolutionary fantasies, but that shit’s not funny.

“And woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!”

Now THAT’S some funny shit. Does “giving suck” include sweat, I wonder.

If they have to lie and cheat to fool people into thinking they are something they are not just to get elected, then what is the point?

To WIN.

Dear Penthouse Collective, I was certain this never happening to me but….

Since the thread is probably in front of the S,N! death panel at the moment, allow me to hijack it for a moment and make a public statement I’ve been wanting to make somewhere.

Jesus H. tapdancing Christ, I hate the movie Live Free, Die Hard with the bright shining heat of a thousand nova suns.

The place I’m working at at present shows videos while our clientele are donating plasma. LFDH is on particularly high rotation, along with Bad Boys 2 and Unstoppable, but at least those films aren’t offensive Let me explain..

I’m really into caper fiction lately for some reason. Been jonesing to watch Ocean’s 11, took a season of Leverage out of the library, they occasionally show the remake of The Italian Job at work, that kind of thing.

TECHNICALLY, LFDH is a caper film, I guess. Guys stealing stuff. Taking shit belonging to someone else. So what’s the problem?

Well, for one, the hacker-kid is a totally unlikeable ferret-faced little Aspergery conspiracy-nut shitweasel, in a movie full of unlikeable shitweasels. And there’s the massive bodycount, which isn’t caper-y. And the “Occupy” air about the bad guys, with their anti-establishment bullshit justifications. And the whole computer hacking thing sucks. “Hacked into the JCS with only a laptop!” Give me a fucking break.

But it evokes 9/11 for its distraction, and that just puts it the fuck over the top for me into punch-someone territory. Ocean’s 11 and Italian Job are crime films when you get down to it, but fun ones. Watching the bad guy in LFDH terrorize people IS NOT FUN. Callbacks to 9/11 are not fun. And evoking the memory of how helpless and paranoid we all felt that day is not what I want in my entertainment, thank you very much.

Whee, the good guys win. Of course, the entirety of D.C. is in chaos, hundreds likely dead, god only knows what the rest of the country looks like, but John McLain survives! Wheee! Fucking spare me already.

Just thought I’d mention it.

Dear Penthouse Collective

I’d argue “Penthouse Soviet” since Forum=Soviet is a more direct analogy, but that’s just me.

“I am never thought to be writing to you, but circumstances are demanding it. Last night I am alone in People’s Tractor Factory 17 completing five-year plan requirement, when in should walk Comrade Commisar Lyubyana, she of seventeen summers…”

That cuts it. If she can get 2,500 people to vote for her…

My favorite caper film is Kelly’s Heroes.

They wouldn’t mean it as ironic … maybe Jeff Goldstein would. Conservatives keep explaining that they are as persecuted as anyone ever was, or they will be any minute. (Banker sees “Shades of Kristallnacht” etc.) I can see them wearing the yellow star of David badge. One innovation would be more stars for wealthier wingnuts, since they have it worse. There is little difference between what many of them say and think, and the adoption of the star(s).

It’s as if the twin towers were just blown to hell by the 19 Arab jihads as my eyes stay glassy dropping tears all through the day. I can’t shake the feeling that my country is vulnerable and at the mercy of evil as we must try to endure another 4 years. It’s so frightening because the majority of my fellow citizens believe that Obama cares so much for the little guy. Yet as our country destroys the value of the dollar we become more and more vulnerable. It is as if I am the child in the street watching…

Now do you understand why I had precious little to say about the “election”? The results of this election were determined in 2008, including the faux-opposition candidate. You people who have spent the last several months breathlessly agonizing over this, analyzing fake polls and deluding yourselves into believing that this was somehow a legitimate operation are just sad. You’re like the people in Iraq who supported the opposition candidate to Saddam Hussein for all of those years. Yes, Saddam Hussein held “elections”. Regularly. That is what happened here yesterday. We had a Saddam Hussein “election”. This can all be summed…

Fun caper film: How to Steal a Million.

Whuzza-whuzzup, loony libs? I’ve been taking, not just a mental health break from following the political news, but a physical health break as well.

No kidding, I’ve been sweating this election so much I was getting heart palpitations, chest pains, acid eating a hole in my stomach, not sleeping for days, sleeping for days, etc., etc.

It looked to me like the ephemera were all going Romney’s way—just accidents of timing, but 2008 was such a miracle of good timing that everything going the opposite way this time seemed like a real possibility.

Anyway, allow me to express my delight at the outcome. It was too close, but we pulled it out. Even here in Washington, just about everything went my way, or looks like it’s going to. (If King County would get their thumbs out of their asses and start counting votes we could find out).

I’m surprised the gay marriage thing is as close as it is, but there are over 300,000 votes outstanding from King County, and they’re only going to open it out. I complain about Washington a lot, but I thought we’d redeem ourselves on this one. I was 18 in 1970, but that’s before they lowered the voting age, so I didn’t get to help make us the first state to legalize abortion (“Don’t labor under a misconception—vote for Proposition 20”: IMO, the greatest political bumpersticker of all time.), but I did get to contribute to this.

The one I’d like to see turn around on King County’s votes is the Secretary of State race. With what’s going on in Ohio and Wisconsin and Florida, etc., I don’t want any Republican in that office; which is too bad—our outgoing longtime SoS, Sam Reed, is a Republican, but he’s been a terrific public servant and has been in the forefront of getting people registered and making it easier to vote. Unfortunately, his era is over.

Oh, yeah, we’re voting to siphon money from the public schools to create private schools for rich people’s kids, except the rest of us pay for them. Back to complaining, I guess.

Ah. Wingnut tears aplenty.

A jewel shaped like a mango:

I’m literally scared for the next four years. I’m reconsidering having kids.

I would advise against including her in the “How do we get more White People?” meetings.

And I guess that’s it in a nutshell: the Married White Heterosexual Christian Male does not represent the majority anymore. It doesn’t represent America anymore. These guys think diversity means “a black Joe Scarobough” and not “a black person who agrees with Joe Scarobough on fiscal and foreign policy, but not domestic ones.”

Their initial reaction to the election results wasn’t disappointment that they were out-voted, it was utter disbelief. It was like a kid catching their parents stuff gifts under a Christmas tree, with no Santa Claus to be found. It was Morpheus taking Neo on a tour of the Matrix. They were completely pimp-smacked by reality.

But hey; they’ve created their own radio, news channel and newspaper. They have their own websites. Hell, they have their own version of Wikipedia. Remember that crazy “Obama tries to take over the world be failed” game? They have literally been on the other side of the Looking Glass, sipping tea, talking to invisible cats and believing in their heart that a person who’s entire professional career is the anti-thesis of how they really live was the second coming of a political figure who was only really deified himself in the last 15 years or so.

And their reaction to losing isn’t “less be more accepting of gay rights” or “let’s stop treating women as baby factories” or “let’s stop the dog whistles” or “let’s bring in Latinos like we did with Germans, Irish and Italians way back when” or “let’s agree that our actions are having a negative impact on the planet.” No; it’s “I’m reconsidering having kids.”

That thinking, right there? That’s how factions die off.

the hacker-kid is a totally unlikeable ferret-faced little Aspergery conspiracy-nut shitweasel, in a movie full of unlikeable shitweasels.

The Die Hard series has some bizarre sets of characters, for sure. There’s an odd little sci-fi novel called Sewer, Gas, and Electric in which the entire population of black people on Earth has been wiped out by plague and were replaced with Amos-n-Andy-style robots. The author said he was inspired by Die Hard, because while many action movies will have a comic relief character in the form of The Amusing Black Man, Die Hard had *five* of them.

That book is also fun to read because Ayn Rand really gets taken to the woodshed in it. I’d thought it was out of print (and maybe it is – $15 for a paperback? weird)

I’m literally scared for the next four years. I’m reconsidering having kids.

I made the mistake of telling people that’s nothing more than corporate welfare and union busting. It was too late before I figured out that here in Eastern WA, that’s fuckin’ cool, bro.

It makes me happy that wingnuts continue to blame the media, scare the living shit out of themselves and wander around in a paranoid stupor, looking for some toehold to grab that might elevate them to some level of credibility. The crazies have no intention of letting go, moderating or even examining their own values of freedom and applying those values to social issues.

I think it’s great. Watching one of them go insane enough to quit blogging and vowing to unfriend all of his sane bookface friends makes a perfect microcosmic example of just how depraved and stupid these people are.

Conservatives keep explaining that they are as persecuted as anyone ever was, or they will be any minute.

“Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It’s no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history.”–Pat Robertson,

Here’s the essay about the book – he says the five are

There’s Argyle, the limo driver named after a sock, who plays his stereo so loud that he can’t hear machine guns tearing up a police car directly behind him; there’s Theo, the thieves’ computer expert, who cracks sports jokes while his colleagues are killing cops; there’s F.B.I. Agent Johnson, whose Caucasian partner is also named Johnson, leading to the inevitable joke “I’m Agent Johnson. This is Special Agent Johnson. No relation.” (More humor: in the end credits the two characters are listed as “Big Johnson” and “Little Johnson.” Get it?); there’s a nameless black SWAT team member who has a close encounter with a thorn bush. And then there’s Officer Al Powell, who starts out as an Amusing Black Man but later graduates to Tonto status.

And then there’s this mornings projectile regurgitation from Nordlinger.

holy fuckanoli…relly?!

haha…last night i had a dude just go OFF on me* about obama and how the usa was founded on god because who gives us our rights?!?!? and when i didn’t immediately burble out ‘our creator’ he started mocking me that i didn’t know history or the bible…i calmly told him to quit condescending to me and that if he shut his yap for a second, i could MAYBE GIVE HIM AN ANSWER and that furthermore, i had no interest in arguing politics or religion with him…and pointed out that the founding fathers studied all the religions of the time and that some religions predate christianity (and hence the generic term ‘creator’ in the constitution) and blah, blah, blah…things ended with an interesting discussion between us and the agreement to disagree about some things…btw, he is a man of short stature who is a commericial pilot who used to be in the air force, so i feel some of your pain, major…

also, too…when they were going on and on and on about this isn’t our america anymore and wah! i pointed out that (in the words of eb white) that democracy is the suspicion that more than half the people are right more than half the time…so get the fuck over it…it stopped them dead in their tracks…i just heard that bit on mpr last night minus the f bomb, so was proud to remember it for that long and then to use it. i live with and have to socialize with some srsly conservative peeps but all in all, they aren’t as bad as they could be…this particular guy’s family farmed most of their lives (subsidies) and now runs an excavating business (gov’t contracts) and also lives on a fucking gravel gold mine (extraction taxes!!!) and is also former air force…

i give these dudes a pass most of the time because they served our country even though they were never deployed anywhere and they are damn good tippers…

Maybe. They all seem to blur together into one big gunfight with a bunch of lame quips.

The US Constitution is an incredibly secular document by 18th Century standards.

Most official documents of that time were chock full of religious boilerplate.

Even the Declaration of Independence, that religious conservatives love so much, uses the very deistic “Creator” and “Nature and Nature’s God” rather than “Our Lord Jesus Christ” or something similar.

[…]
Given that he did so much to aggravate Republicans by what many saw as going beyond the customary magnanimous gratitude during a crisis and instead displayed what they considered way-overboard fawning obsequiousness toward the president on the eve of a national election, Chris Christie isn’t in any position to win a Republican primary…

Would it surprise anybody if he switched parties (likely before his re-election campaign for New Jersey Governor next year)? He’d pretty instantly become the heir-apparent to Obama, wouldn’t you think?

And

In the wake of Mitt Romney’s narrow popular vote loss in the presidential election yesterday, Republicans need to do some soul-searching if f they want to regain the Senate in 2014 and the White House in 2016. And right away, there are three big questions they need to ask:
1. Why did Mitt Romney fail to get as many votes as did John McCain in 2008? [yeah, that’s a poser alright.The answer is in front of your nose, good luck seeing it. – PM]
2. How can the party better reach out to Hispanic and Asian Americans and other minorities? [By not “reaching out?” Maybe if you stopped blaming them for all the country’s problems and incite hatred for them – if you actually changed the way you think about them and treat them – you could make some pogress there. – PM]
3. How does the GOP recruit, as per my last post, the type of “genuine” conservative candidate “with political skills, policy smarts and impressive resumes in order to get elected”?

Two men elected to the U.S. Senate in the last two cycles, Florida’s Marco Rubio and Texas’s Ted Cruz could help Republicans explore both the second and the third questions.

Interesting that some of the leading lights of the GOP, these two men, along with Susana Martinez, the Governor of New Mexico, are Hispanic.

This gives me hope – they really do not get it. At all.

Oh please.

“I bring quadruple diversity to the Senate,” Hirono said at a rally earlier in the campaign. “I’m a woman. I’ll be the first Asian woman ever to be elected to the U.S. Senate. I am an immigrant. I am a Buddhist. When I said this at one of my gatherings, they said, ‘Yes, but are you gay?’ and I said, ‘Nobody’s perfect.'”

If the rightwits wanted to “reach out” to minorities, they had a genuine black person named Herman Cain who stood for all their principles and was a genuine CEO to boot.

(Who knows, maybe he really would have had a shot if he’d kept it zipped.)

I finally watched this speech. The leader of the Australian opposition should probably kill himself.

Speaking of international shit, Obama wins; planet relieved

to further add to weirdness i experienced last night (no, not that), my boss, who i truly adore was just waaaaaay off…first of all, didn’t vote because fuck it, they’re all fuckwits and will fuck us over one way or the other…he did watch election returns though on FOX…he’s as liberal as i am and never watches news or news channels, but was super impressed with their coverage and how professional and non-biased they were…and he thought obama was ‘cocky’ during his speech…i mean, dude was jazzed, but cocky? it was just a weird atmosphere all around…

Wow. It looked like he wanted to die right there on the spot.

(Who knows, maybe he really would have had a shot if he’d kept it zipped.)

He would have imploded before August. His biggest problem wasn’t that he couldn’t zip his pants. It was his mouth that needed zipping.

The problem with those fucking CEO types is they are so unaccustomed to being questioned. They are accustomed to having their sissy asses kissed all the time. Being beat up by the media and other candidates usually brings out the bitchy asshole CEO in them. Watching one of them be president would be pretty fun for a year or so. Having Congress sabotage them to send a message, and watching the ensuing temper tantrums would be epic.

Bikini tops or corsets or GTFO

Would it surprise anybody if he switched parties (likely before his re-election campaign for New Jersey Governor next year)?

So we finally see the human side of Christie after all this time and suddenly he’s a Democrat? This person needs to get on Utoob and review EVERYTHING else Christie has said.

I commend him for getting out there and getting the goddamn job done. I also commend him for commending the president so close to an election. I can’t think of any other Republicans except Charlie Crist who would actually do such a thing. When lives were at stake, he actually stepped up. I was impressed, really.

“genuine” conservative candidate “with political skills, policy smarts and impressive resumes in order to get elected”?

OH–BUILD A ROBOT! Thumb through any mythology book and you might find such a person.

Sorry, but conservative and policy smarts are mutually exclusive conditions.

That story is a veritable Turducken of FAIL, with fail within fail within fail, but I should also point out that Australia has tough immigration restrictions — They learned it from YOU! — and a policy of marooning illegal immigrants on Pacific atolls for years while their asylum applications are ignored.

2. How can the party better reach out to Hispanic and Asian Americans and other minorities?

You mean without treating them like undesirables? Wow, good question, bro.

Canada just changed the rules for one of its immigration programs so it cancelled all the prior applications and told everyone to start again. Yay us!

Dondero writes of moving to Switzerland now

i don’t think d00d would like it there…not war-ry enough, red cross=helping moochers, strong UN presence:

The Swiss Confederation has a long history of armed neutrality—it has not been in a state of war internationally since 1815—and did not join the United Nations until 2002. It pursues, however, an active foreign policy and is frequently involved in peace-building processes around the world.[6] Switzerland is also the birthplace of the Red Cross and home to a large number of international organizations, including the second largest UN office.

also, too…mandated health insurance…

Orson Scott Card (who has always been an asshat) seems to have had his head asplode: Democracy Did Not Fail.

Sample

When Hurricane Sandy devastated a part of America, you showed Barack Obama only in a favorable light.

Even though his administration, his FEMA, did at least as badly as the Bush administration did after Katrina, and with far less excuse, you did not run endless coverage of the people’s suffering, the way you did with Bush.

D’oh!

oh my…osc’s high dudgeon is in direct competition with his delusion…

You have to attack Fox News and sneer at them and accuse them of bias, don’t you — because they’re actually doing the job you merely pretend to do. They shame you by their genuinely balanced coverage, so you have to lie and accuse them of being what you are: ideological hacks, providing propaganda in order to advance a cause, while hiding the unhelpful truth.

What you don’t get is that he was not my candidate. He was merely the only choice left to me, once I understood that the Beloved Leader is the most incompetent and untrustworthy commander-in-chief that America has ever had.

Most are cropped for widescreen look, shot full frame. June 4, 2006
By Paul J. Mular TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
FYI everyone, Mel Brooks only shot TWO films in wide screen: “Blazing Saddles” and “History of the World Part 1”.

If you compare the rest of the films to the original full frame laserdiscs you will see that FOX just masked off the top & bottom of the picture to make the films look widescreen. They should have been presented in full frame to give us the complete picture, some signs & faces get cut off.

There were a couple of gags in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure I really loved that were only on the videotape I had (missed it in the theatre). They turned out to have been the result of poor framing in the transfer to video, and were not, in fact, funny gags on the part of the tedious Tim Burton.

So Romney finally threw in the towel for Florida?

332 – 206 = LANDSLIDE in modern political vernacular.

guess the wingnut!

Many conservatives probably knew better in their hearts than to predict a Romney win, but just couldn’t come to terms with the depressing reality of a second Obama term. Rationalization is common among man; it’s how we avoid unwelcome truths. But it also blinds us to danger. Just think, for instance, of Jews who saw their coming winter in 1930s Germany and emigrated; then think of those who didn’t because they couldn’t face reality. This is how dangerous rationalization can be.

“Just think, for instance, of Jews who saw their coming winter in 1930s Germany and emigrated; then think of those who didn’t because they couldn’t face reality.”–Selwyn Duke

Oh how deep and thoughtful. Some who had a realistic view chose to stay:

“The reader may ask me why I did not try to escape what was in store for me after Hitler had occupied Austria. […] Shortly before the United States entered World War II, I received an invitation to come to the American Consulate in Vienna to pick up my immigration visa. My old parents were overjoyed because they expected that I would soon be allowed to leave Austria. I suddenly hesitated, however. The question beset me: could I really afford to leave my parents alone to face their fate, to be sent, sooner or later, to a concentration camp, or even to a so-called extermination camp? Where did my responsibility lie?”–Viktor Frankl

The cream of the jest with this “Let’s emigrate from the US!” emo shite is that part of the butt-hurt was inflicted by voters rejecting the would-be emigrants’ policies of “get tougher with immigrants; more barrier fences”.

The question beset me: could I really afford to leave my parents alone to face their fate, to be sent, sooner or later, to a concentration camp, or even to a so-called extermination camp? Where did my responsibility lie?”–Viktor Frankl

then think of those who didn’t because they couldn’t face reality

or couldn’t bother to just pick up a visa, because those things are EVERYWHERE.

With these fantasies of “Obama’s re-election is just like the Nuremberg pass laws so we’re leaving the country”, it is probably missing the point to dwell on the practical difficulties and the blithe assumption that a US citizenship entitles one to move to anywhere one chooses.

WRT the link to the “OSC has always been an asshat” article, I say thanks, and am in danger of dislocating my arm patting myself on the back for never reading his stuff. See, I wandered into a room in which he was holding forth at a con, and added him to my list of authors never to read because I find them so personally objectionable.

I heard some years later that some people have noticed similarities between some of his works and some of the LDS holy books. If so, yet another reason not to go Mormon.

Sorry about that … Selwyn Duke and these people are just having some fantasy fun defining themselves. No consequences, no hard decisions when it’s just posturing.

Moriarty was also unforgettable as an aggressive professional hockey player in The Deadliest Season, one of the greatest TV-movies about hockey ever made.

How many TV-movies aboot hockey have there been?

I was just reading about Michael Moriarty the other day.
The interview’s recital of Moriarty’s career is so obsequious, I was surprised to find that he and the interviewer do seem to be separate people.
