Pambo CXLIII: The Eye of the Meltdown (2009)
We should all be thankful that the ever-vigilant Pamela Geller is going to war for us against the Muslim hordes that Barack Obama will unleash on us once he accomplishes his secret goal of establishing the caliphate, imposing Sharia law, and remaking all banks along the principals of Islamic finance with the help of his Muslim brother George Soros. In preparation, Pam has strapped a bandolier (mostly filled with red font, bold keys, exclamation points and capital letters) across her, er, chest, standing ready to open fire at anything suspicious — the leaves rustling on the ornamental ficus tree behind which Osama bin Laden is hiding, the crackling sound made by the floorboards under which Ayman Al-Zawahiri is lying in wait, the dog howling in the next yard at Iranian troops scaling the backyard fence, the random C-Span interview with a Congressman blinking his eyes in Morse Code to communicate secret messages revealing the precise details of the overthrow plot.
And so Pamela opened fire when she found a You Tube video of Paul Kanjorski allegedly describing a $550 billion dollar “run” on the banks which either the Muslims, or their stooge George Soros, engineered right before the election to guarantee that their puppet Barack Obama would win, thereby edging the Islamofascists one giant step closer to a global caliphate and a burqa on Pam Geller.
This is un-frickin-believable. The financial crisis was deliberate, planned, staged. Who made the run? …
On Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two. Money was being removed electronically. …
More to think about. Somebody took a lot of money out of the banks. A lot. So where did it go? Who to? …
A run is a banker’s term of art [Pure. Comedy. Platinum. With Marshmallows. And Fudge Topping. — ed.], and it is like a herd stampede, or panic, or a psychosis of a lot of people. …
So, the people who do such things, who monitor who and where the orders come from, and who keep track of whose accounts the money is taken from, have to have been able to figure that out, and who was responsible.
Yet, they do not tell us. …
And while I do not pretend to be on the inside of any of these nefarious machinations – it can’t help but raise a red [sic] that the US treasury department, one week after nationalizing the banks, is giving seminars in Islamic finance and George Soros is buying our assets from the FDIC.
Oh where, where, where to begin? Well, for starters, of course, with what actually happened. Given the time frame mentioned by Kanjorski, he’s referring to the following sequence of events. On September 15, Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy. A major money market fund — the Reserve Primary Fund — held almost $785 million in IOUs from Lehman Brothers, causing a number of investors, both institutional and individual, to withdraw funds from the fund. The large volume of withdrawals cause the Fund to “break the buck,” meaning that each share was worth a few cents less than a dollar. Money market funds aren’t supposed to do this, and that prompted large transfers of funds from other money market funds to other investments and accounts
Now, of course, among the points of hilarity in Pam’s financial sleuthing is the idea that this money was “disappearing” from the system, as if an acceptable destination of an electronic funds transfer was “under my mattress” or “behind the rock near the front of my cave in Pakistan.” Equally insane is her notion that a Treasury Department seminar on a Islamic banking is a harbinger of a takeover by Muslim terrorists and proof that the transfers were engineered by Islamo-terrorists. We probably shouldn’t tell her the Department of Agriculture provides classes teaching people how to speak Arabic.
This Pambo post, however, is a two-fer, with a second post just going up with more “proof” that Al-Qaeda engineered the money market fund withdrawals:
9/11/2008 CATASTROPHIC FINANCIAL TERRORIST ATTACK CAUSED ECONOMIC MELTDOWN
The recent bombshell that Rep. Kanjorski dropped gets bigger and bigger. Atlas reader Suzanne picked up on a mindblowing “detail” in my blog post: “RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT HUSSEIN: “A $550 Billion Electronic Run on the Banks”. Paul Kanjorski describes the closed door session of Congress where it was revealed that there was a $550 billion electronic run on the banks and that was what caused the economic crisis.
In the video, Kanjorski says this occurred on Thursday, September 15, 2008. September 15th was a MONDAY.
THURSDAY was …….SEPTEMBER 11, 2008
This was a Financial Terrorist Attack on the seventh anniversary of 9/11. Aren’t the American people entitled to know who was behind the run on the banks?
Except, of course, the run started on September 15 and Kanjorski’s mistake wasn’t the date but simply the day of the week. But since Pam is too busy looking for the face of Mohammed secretly burned into her toasted bagel by her dhimmi-crat toaster, this possibility, of course, doesn’t even occur to her.
[John Cole pointed out Pam’s first post to me and it’s his fucking fault that I’m arguing with a crazy woman at three in the morning. Thanks, John!]
I think we need a link to something showing Pam’s boobs.
No, we do not.
this was far down in the comments as I could safely read. We are seeing a pattern here, are we not?
Like the spelling of secede as sucede too. Nothing succeeds like a parrot.
Geller also mentions Queensland loony John Jay in there, one of Jonahs mentors in the Fascism BS.
Because everyone knows that history is recorded by the day of the week, not the date.
The day of the week is so much more specific, giving the historian seven whole entirely different choices instead of those teeny-tiny sets of numbers that allow for an infinite combination of unique dates.
Sucede Nwo!!11!!!!11 Vevuh Teh Revluotian!!!1!!111
I’m jus’ sayin’ that when we die, there’ll be a planet for the Mexicans, a planet for the Chinese, and we’ll all be a lot happier!
Mr. Gumbel, you’re scaring me!
No, I’m not!
Anyone else watching the ODI?
Overly Deltoidal Invitational?
Obtuse Delusional Idiot. But that’s just Pammycakes.
The One Day International Australia v New Zealand cricket series..
Oz end the abbreviated 22 overs at 168-4.
Go Kiwis.
it’s his fucking fault that I’m arguing with a crazy woman at three in the morning.
OK, Miss Manners, when is the proper time to be arguing with a crazy woman?
a psychosis of a lot of people…
This is my new favourite collective noun.
to sucede from the Union?
Remove the ‘c’. I think you will agree that “to suede from the Union” makes far more sense.
Anyone else watching the ODI?
Went to David Byrne concert. Woo! That is all.
“Went to David Byrne concert. Woo! That is all.”
That would have been better.
Still, NZ innings coming up. Eh, Smut Clyde? Eh???
What about Another Kiwi???
NZ chasing 156 on 20 overs. Crazy excitement for this sport!1!!11!1
McCullum bowled out for 2. Jeebus.
it’s all over but the crying. Go Kiwis?
[Lengthy analysis of Byrne concert, with references to East African microtonal scales blah blah mumble mumble]
Too long; didn’t write.
Still, wild scenes at a venue designed for classical concerts. Halfway through “Same as it ever was”, and people were stampeding out of their seats to dance in the aisles or at the front of the stage. Haven’t seen anything like it since the NZ Youth Orchestra performed Neilsen’s 3rd Symphony.
Kiwis 38 off 3 overs. May be some hope yet.
Sounds like the Byrne show was fantastic…the same as it ever was…HAR!!!1!11!
Thank you so much for posting….ROFL…..I just had to send this one in. I need to get to that 2nd post though, didn’t see that. Just that in the 1st one it was all terrorists but the only culprit mentioned was George Soros. I didn’t know whether to laugh or sit there saying, “HUH?!?!” as I posted on this.
commie–you want the boobs? Here you go. They seem to be trying to make an escape in this video/ screen caps. And Steve at LGFWatch calling this luring Spencer “to the cougar den” is also just too damned funny.
Boobs!!
Now that the Anti-Podeans are here I can leave.
Don’t feed the hob-goblins.
Terrible falls of wicket leave NZ needing 83 runs off 72 balls at 73-6.
Odds are unlikely.
Damn. Damn damn damn damn DAMN.
Guptill and Diamante are on 50 runs for 50 balls at 106/6.
M.–I couldn’t help it….I had just written that post about her boobs trying to escape that excuse of a shirt (someone at LGFWatch commented that it looked like she’d been in a knife fight). The juggs are just so OUT there. They come very close to falling out. Maybe that was in the blooper reel that didn’t make it to YouTube.
Between cricket discussion and this…
…when did S,N! become The Bugle?
Ricky Ponting’s kind of a douche…
“The juggs are just so OUT there.”
That’s why she’s Atlas Juggs.
Another fully satisfying cricket draw…crap.
PLEASE DON’T FEED THE MOTHERFUCKING OBTUSE DOUCHEBAG IDIOT TROLL.
PLEASE.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
DON’T. FEED. THE. TROLL.
Assuming Kanjorski got the day right and the date wrong, Thursday also could’ve been the 18th, which according to Wikipedia is the anniversary of the first publication of the New York Times, so obviously this also could’ve been the work of MSM defeatodhimmis.
Please do anything you can for the Australian bushfire victims at habitat.com.au.
This is a disaster on the level of Katrina down here.
The government here has chosen to act, unlike the savage racist degenerate troglodyte fucktards in the Bush administration.
Please help.
And the Buffalo crash…fuck’s sake.
Make the dying stop!
Fool–I’m already “The Joker” (Agent of Chaos). Your role is taken here. Skeedaddle now.
Go look at Pamela’s juggs or something.
The Fool is the intestinal flora of the universe.
It lives amongst, feeds off of and processes your shit.
Pay it no more mind than you would your last, eh, movement.
Y’know, I don’t really believe all this stuff I say. I’m just trying to shock you and get a reaction.
Except for the stuff about women. I really do hate them, the fucking dirty fucking whores.
Seriously, I really do.
Oh The Fool hates him some bitchez
What could the reason be?
Mommy locked him in the closet
When he was a lad of three
I’LL BE A GOOD BOY MOMMY!
I’LL BE A GOOD BOY MOMMY!
of course, that post about hating women was not the real Fool
…but to be honest it was spot on. “Fake but true”, as the saying goes.
Old Scrubseses are so much better than the new Scrubseses.
Once they got off the pitfalls and pratfalls of medical education and onto the character development of jerkoff assholes it all went to shit.
September 15th was also the day that the House of Lehman collapsed. And yeah, it was a Monday. I thought the Malcolm X theory was the lowest Pam would go. This is lower.
Flush The Fool as if you would flush your stink-as-fuck steatorrhea.
They amount to the same thing.
Fool, if that is your real name, I voted for Obama.
If it makes you feel any better.
No, the Fool loves women. Really.
Of course, they can never live up to his expectations. That’s why The Fool acts the way he does. It’s their fault, the worthless whores. Why do they make The Fool do it? They’re not worthy of his love.
But then, I would say that, wouldn’t I?
Poor Pammy. Remember when she was sane and made all the sense in the world?
Smut Clyde re: David Byrne concert: Now tell me those “interpretive dancers” weren’t so bad after all, were they?
Poor Pammy. It appears she’s now having to trawl 2-day-old troll comments at Sadly, No! for the basis of her new delusions, having already scraped all the way through the full barrell of crazy she had on hand.
What is this, the Down Under Sports Channel?! How lovely that while we up here sleep at night, our friends on the other side of the earth are keeping watch over the thread. And then there’s that gol-darned European time thing wherein NO ONE (meaning me) EVER KNOWS what time it is, nor does anyone really care.
Screw it, I can’t even remember which one I am any more – The Fool who pretends to hate women, or The Fool who genuinely hates women.
Ah well. They’re both good.
Wow Jennifer, you’re right. Good catch. BTW — how’s iy going with the job thing and the maybe gall-bladder thing?
it. How’s “it” going. grrr, more coffee please
Shrieking harpies shriek.
It’s their nature.
The thing is, Mad Pam really is insane. Even her web site, with its frenzied litter of junk, ads, posts, exclamation points and the closest approximation to roach-shit sized handwriting to be had on the net, is patently the product of a fevered mind. If the Internet didn’t exist, Mad Pam would’ve been one of those safely obscure people who kept file cabinets bursting with clippings, scrapbooks, and a zillion other myriad “clues” to her paranoid obsession du jour, all the while writing endless letters to politicians, newspapers, and her local Piggly Wiggly which began,”Attention! This is the 17th appendix to my 8th letter of October 17…”. This is the kind of fruit loop who would’ve found a home in Lyndon La Rouche’s band of looney nutjobs before scaring even them into tossing her for “excessive zealotry.”
The Internet offers notoriety to the disturbed and the gift of avid fans, be they fellow nutcases, or American Ambassadors to the United Nations, or both. At least it keeps her occupied. Who knows, given a Typepad account and blog ads, maybe Charles Giteau and Leon Czolgosz would have spared a couple of presidents.
MzNicky – the gall bladder seems ok – I’ve been feeling gradually better for the last several days; I’ve been eating again in increasing amounts since Tuesday (whole wheat bread only at first but yesterday, wild rice for lunch and mushroom soup for dinner – yay!) and today no pain. Plus, when I finally had to poop after those days of fasting, it was the right color (if bile isn’t getting to the intestine your poop won’t be brown), so all seems good at least for now. I’m wondering if I didn’t pass a small stone just large enough to cause some real irritation and inflammation – who knows? Hopefully I won’t have another attack.
As for the job search, well, no job yet. I’m hitting the bricks today to try to drum up some design and writing work, and taking a typing test at a temp agency, on the theory that making some money is better than making none at all.
Thanks for asking.
What is this, the Down Under Sports Channel?! How lovely that while we up here sleep at night, our friends on the other side of the earth are keeping watch over the thread.
Re-reading this, I think sounds kinda snotty but I didn’t mean it that way. I meant it sincerely. It IS lovely for our friends et cetera.
Jennifer: Glad to hear you’re feeling better.
Oops, looks like I’m the one projecting now.
Oh Pammy, when will you be mine?
She was still relatively sane as a friend prior to the Brussels Summit and her alliance with Robert Spencer. Then she became a complete freak. I realize her blog was always nutty, but I didn’t really read it and when we talked she didn’t seem that conservative. She’s pro-choice and everything. Then I read her blog. Post-Brussels. Egads. Not even close to the woman I used to constantly talk to.
The funny thing is that she still has my blog linked on her blogroll, but with it’s old name, and that blog now refers people to my govvs blog on which Sphinx and I mock the hell out of her and her cohorts….ROFL….she’s inadvertently linking to us while we’re posting about her juggs almost falling out onto Robert Spencer and her new “conspiracy theory” as posted here too. It’s really too good. Life is beautiful.
Ok, I don’t want to hear it from anybody about The Fool being gross and disgusting and lowering prevailing Sadly standards…
If you knew anything at all about Sadly, No!, you’d know we’re all about the poop. And Teh buttsecks.
Damn. And I thought George Bush kept us safe all those years.
Seriously though, I really do fucking hate women.
Just kidding. Seriously, hate ’em.
Pammy seems to believe that the cyclic nature of the Gregorian calender proves that people taking money out of the banks is a terrorist plot. Not only the exact day, but give or take a week.
Have her children been safely removed from that home, yet?
Pamela has uncovered the story of the millenium. This is due to our superior awareness of all technological traditions. We are capable of combing through electronic records using sophisticated third-party search algorithms. We can obtain these records at a theoretical rate of 56 thousand bytes of data per second. They are stored in our off-site facilities capable of holding literally millions of bytes of data. It’s over, Liebruls, we are winning.
The Fool is like a colonoscopy with the treble of sedation, anaesthesia and delusional insanity combining with the pain of a perforated sigmoid colon.
At his point the patient is dead several times over so IGNORE THIS DOUCHEBAG DEGENERATE VULGARIAN LUNATIC.
Teh stink of teh tlrol has gotten us a bit off track:
The fact that Pammycakes’ philosophy is the textbook definition of paranoid delusional insanity exacerbated by any and all religious others remains paramount to this discussion.
I mean, how can this crazy be a legitimate point of view?
Well, Tintin: all I can say is read the thread, brother.
Oops, sorry. I confused “everyone telling me to go fuck myself” with “everyone genuinely caring about my opinions”. It’s this little problem I have; I’ll try and keep it under control.
“Oops, sorry. I confused “everyone telling me to go fuck myself” with “everyone genuinely caring about my opinions”
Don’t confuse either, or with neither, nor.
As in, “Everyone wishes you’d either go fuck yourself or kill yourself”
Or “Everyone wishes you’d either you’d neither indiscriminately spew your dipshit opinions somewhere else nor contaminate our discourse!”
Problem solved.
Ignoring trolls is hard…
For the first time since 1996, the federal government would begin paying states bonuses to increase their welfare caseloads. Indeed, the new welfare system created by the stimulus bills is actually worse than the old AFDC [Aid to Families with Dependent Children] program because it rewards the states more heavily to increase their caseloads. Under the stimulus bills, the federal government will pay 80 percent of cost for each new family that a state enrolls in welfare; this matching rate is far higher than it was under AFDC…..The House bill provides $4 billion per year to reward states to increase their TANF [Temporary Aid to Needy Families] caseloads; the Senate bill follows the same policy but allocates less money.
Proponents of the stimulus plan might argue that these changes are necessary to help TANF weather the current recession. This is not true. Under existing TANF law, the federal government operates a TANF “contingency fund” with nearly $2 billion in funding that can be quickly funneled to states that have rising unemployment. It should be noted that the existing contingency fund ties increased financial support to states to the objective external factor of unemployment; it specifically avoids a policy of funding states for increased welfare caseloads, recognizing the perverse incentives this could entail.
If the authors of the stimulus bills merely wanted to provide states with more TANF funds in the current recession, they could have increased funding in the existing contingency fund. But they deliberately did not do this. Instead, they completely overturned the fiscal and policy foundations of welfare reform.
I’m Belgian. Vous avez tort encore.
If Pammycakes were a marine general, her name would be Fuller Chesty.
Carry on.
This morning I went to the bank with my eight year old son Elmer, and imagine my shock and chagrin when little Elmer reached for the dish of lollipops the bank teller usually sets out for the children and, instead, found it full of couscous!
But it gets worse!
While after I’ve made my deposit the teller usually offers me a friendly “let me know if I can be of further assistance” or “have a nice day, Mrs. McMuffin,” this morning she, instead, began to ululate!
Elmer and I were quite taken aback.
Awww, somebody’s feewings got hurt
Hmm….September 15. What was Sarah Palin doing on September 15? Maybe SHE caused the bank run!
More to think about. Somebody took a lot of money out of the banks. A lot. So where did it go? Who to? …
A run is a banker’s term of art, and it is like a herd stampede, or panic, or a psychosis of a lot of people. …
The one man herd stampede? SOOOOORRRROOOOOSSS!
Elmer reached for the dish of lollipops the bank teller usually sets out for the children and, instead, found it full of couscous!
My bank at least had halva. My teeth still hurt… so. very. sweet.
Dear Sadly hosts: Has this Fool jerk reached the AnnieAngel level of banability yet? We just can’t get anything done around here anymore what with all the stepping around piles of its nastiness and so forth. Seriously. With all due respect to your infinity-tolerance policy. Please.
Heh. Over at little Megan’s, she had this to say in regard to the healthy Canadian banking system and Canada’s economic well-being (relative to ours) up until now:
…they’ve been running surpluses and paying down debt for over a decade. If only we’d had similar prudence.
To which I could only respond:
Yes, if only we had listened to those DFHs who were saying the Iraq war was a bad idea, instead of fantasizing about smacking them in the head with a 2 x 4.
My bank? Hummus. Very messy.
Three times? I recall World War I and II but I don’t recall us saving France a third time. Are you sure that wasn’t a Tom Clancy novel you were reading?
I am anxious for Geller to turn her investigative journalist’s eye to the strange case of Sir Allen Stanford and reveal the real power him and his CDs.
Larry Sabato is making sense.
“Three times? I recall World War I and II but I don’t recall us saving France a third time.”
We kept them safe from the Soviet Menace.
And back in the 80s you libs wanted a NUCLEAR FREEZE but Reagan didn’t listen, and put those missiles in Europe, and we won the Cold War!
Lemme see…there’s a run on the banks because earlier that day, long-time, respected investment bank Lehman Brothers filed Chapter 11 (damn Jews and their damn bankruptcy laws!), which makes money market funds all around the world suddenly drop perilously close to negative valuations, and all Pam can come up with for a $550 billion stampede is…Al Qaeda????
Jesus. If Al Qaeda could control that kind of money, does anyone here think any American would be left standing today?
Today both Belgium and France is being overrun by massive Islamic Immigration, the newest threat to Europe.
Oh, WordPress, why do you treat me so?
That’s partly true. One reason the French developed their own nuclear deterrent was so they wouldn’t have to rely on us.
And back in the 80s you libs wanted a NUCLEAR FREEZE but Reagan didn’t listen, and put those missiles in Europe, and we won the Cold War!
BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
We won the Cold War back in Truman’s day. The Soviets just didn’t realize it until they basically went bankrupt.
Administrators – please.
It’s not that hard to just ignore a bore. But when he farts, shits his pants and emits ear-shattering shrieks, it’s time to have him escorted off the premises.
My bank at least had halva. My teeth still hurt… so. very. sweet.
Oh, dear me, I forgot an important part of my story.
It seems that just as Elmer and I were leaving the bank, a limousine screeched up to the curb and a nasty man named Mr. Soros forced me at gunpoint to go back into the bank and withdraw all my money and use it to send poor little Elmer away to a madrassa.
I’m terribly sorry I left that part out in my previous missive. My husband says I’m simply awful at telling anecdotes about myself (ha ha)!
Oh, and I’ve also had a lot on my mind this morning as our cat, Mr. Fiddlesticks, has to go to the veterinarian later this afternoon with an impacted gall bladder. Wish him luck!
Today both Belgium and France is being overrun by massive Islamic Immigration, the newest threat to Europe.
Odd. My job takes me to Paris frequently. They must be hiding the mosques inside all those pastry shops.
They must be hiding the mosques inside all those pastry shops.
Yes, right behind the rosewater-flavored macarons.
“Odd. My job takes me to Paris frequently. They must be hiding the mosques inside all those pastry shops.”
Go into the suburbs sometime. It’s like another country.
Hey, where’d I go?
We won the Cold War!
No, we just didn’t lose it quite as quickly as they did.
If Pammycakes were a marine general, her name would be Fuller Chesty.
If Pammycakes were a Marine general we’d all be speaking Cuban.
The man who wrote “Tintin” was a Nazi collaborator and anti-semite.
Go into the suburbs sometime. It’s like another country.
I’ve been in the suburbs of Marseilles and the native French and North Africans generally get along pretty well in that city.
As for Paris, I’d think “Watts Riots” before I thought “Global islamofascist conspiracy”.
The man who wrote “Tintin” was a Nazi collaborator and anti-semite.
So were Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh.
You libs should love Charles Lindbergh. He was an “anti-war” and “peace” activist.
He also thought Roosevelt committed “war crimes”. Hmm…sound familiar? It should!
Hey ConOb, I’ve got you killfiled so I don’t read your comments here. I did however, enjoy reading your manifesto.
The Unabomber was a lib and he killed more people.
Hey Rusty! Bet you can read me now!
In response to your question, so what? The Unabomber was a lib and he killed people. The Beltway Snipers were libs, too!
The Unabombers favorite book was “Earth in the Balance” by Al Gore.
I’m not anti-war. I’m anti stupid war.
Eisenhower was anti-war, and Ike knew a thing or two about war.
Hasn’t Pammy been arrested yet? Or did they decide she wasn’t mentally fit to stand trial?
Note: if you change nyms to duck killfile, you are per se a troll.
Also, my killfile finger is quick. Very quick. Usually all I need to see is the nym.
How Orwellian is that?
I hope nobody thinks erasing repetetive drivel is some sort of free-speech issue. If someone’s ln here deleting The Fool all I can say is ‘What took you so long?’
Also, maybe Pammy has been getting her understanding of the concept of time from Gene Ray…
Liberals are anti-war because they don’t want to defend Western Civilization. They’d rather see the West destroyed whether from the outside (Nazis, Communists, Islamists) or from the inside out (massive Third World immigration).
Clearly Bush did such a great job protecting us from terrorists that he missed those two snipers in his own backyard of Virginia.
I’m sorry to step in to clarify once more, but I should have said that it’s not my cat, Mr. Fiddlesticks, who has the impacted gall bladder. I’m not even sure that cats have gall bladders.
It’s actually my husband Arthur who has the impacted gall bladder. It’s just that Mr. Fiddlesticks is simply so upset with my husband’s condition that we have to take him (Mr. Fiddlesticks, not my husband) to the cat psychologist.
I feel just awful that my previous postings might have been misconstrued through my ill-phrased musings. Please accept my humblest apologies.
Through the promotion of massive Third World immigration and “multiculturalism” in public schools, liberals and “progressives” are brainwashing our children into hating their own culture and putting Third World cultures on a pedestal.
Liberals are anti-war because they don’t want to defend Western Civilization. They’d rather see the West destroyed whether from the outside (Nazis, Communists, Islamists) or from the inside out (massive Third World immigration).
How far west does civilization start? And it is northwest? Do I have to kill south americans?
To a liberal or “progressive” ideologue, every culture is equal–except for western European culture.
They’d rather see the West destroyed whether from the outside (Nazis…
putting Third World cultures on a pedestal.
To be fair, chapati IS pretty tasty.
Latin America is not part of the West. They are from a different civilizational tradition.
I’m noting a heavy Dadaist influence these days.
I wonder how many bags of Cheetoes that’s costing the Trike Force each day?
Tell us about the black helicopters! The black helicopters!
Nazis were not western in origin. Their ideas came from ancient near East mysticism and have much in common with their Islamofascist brothers.
European civilization is dying due to massive Islamic Immigration and declining western birth rates, and by 2050 will be more like Saudi Arabia than France.
Somebody’s into The Big Book Of Retarded NeoCon Talking Points again.
Nazis were not western in origin. Their ideas came from ancient near East mysticism…
You mean like Christianity did?
Christianity has been thoroughly westernized. Though I’m an atheist I still appreciate its cultural influences.
Christianity has been thoroughly westernized.
Oh… a TRUE Scotsman. My bad.
Yep, nothing says western values like cannibalism.
How far west does civilization start?
As far as I’m concerned, it ends at the Hudson River. Everything west of that is Islamofascist. Especially the Red Staters.
Don’t forget the Red Staters are socialists, too.
True, L’il Pig. Pay nothing in taxes, but suck up all our Federal budget.
You mean like Christianity did?
Dude, Jesus was an American.
He certainly didn’t look like this. That would make the Son of God a suspiciously brown individual from the Middle East who shouldn’t be riding on planes.
European civilization is dying due to massive Islamic Immigration and declining western birth rates, and by 2050 will be more like Saudi Arabia than France.
You mean it will become a devoutly religious theocratic state that loves the burning of fossil fuels instead of a secular nation full of artists and liberals? I’m not sure why you think that’s a bad thing.
Only pussy boy right wingers think European civilization is not robust enough to handle it, anyway.
You libs should read “America Alone” by Mark Steyn.
I don’t understand the wingnut obsession with preserving “European civilization.” All they do is bitch about Europe and screech that the U.S. mustn’t become like it. It’s ironic, like rain on your wedding day.
It astounds me how these so-called “hard line right wingers” collapse into a puddle of mud when confronted with the terror of OMG!ISLAMOFASCISTSATOURVERYDOORSTEPS3500MILESAWAY!
I thought right wingers hated Western European culture because they’re all a bunch of socialist euro-weenies who don’t want to go to war.
(mind you they spent most of recorded history killing each other so I’m happy they’re taking a time-out on the whole aggression thing)
No, that’s okay. There’s plenty of batshit bedwetter rants around without having to go searching for Steyn.
As far as I’m concerned, it ends at the Hudson River. Everything west of that is Islamofascist. Especially the Red Staters.
I won’t venture into any of the United States except MA, VT, and NH. Everything else has been polluted by western civilization. Also, there are too many white people. They’re scary.
I don’t understand the wingnut obsession with preserving “European civilization.”
It ain’t like they got passports and are about to go tour the cathedrals, that’s fer damned sure.
American civilization is dying due to massive Papist Immigration and declining western birth rates, and by 1950 will be overrun by the profligate Irish.
Kinda like how right wingers hate New York City but have taken 9/11 as their very own. Like Gavin said, it’s all about the drama. New Yorkers themselves got over it pretty quickly.
well, obviously since PJM went down in flames, there’s a lot of poorly-bolted-together types looking for something to occupy their time.
At least one, anyway.
PLEASE BE AWARE: It has come to my attention that one of my patients, a cat named Mr. Fiddlesticks, is having an extremely difficult time processing one of his owners’ medical conditions (a gall bladder condition, I believe).
As such, Mr. Fiddlesticks has been “acting out” in several unfortunate ways, including posting rude, self-delusional diatribes and rants under multiple aliases on this very blog.
Thank you for your understanding of this deeply sensitive moment in regard to Mr. Fiddlestick’s mental health. I believe that with proper treatment (including relaxation videos with soothing images of mice and peaceful aquariums), Mr. Fiddlesticks will soon be restored to his former healthy and happy feline lifestyle.
seriously, who is Mark Steyn?
Google S,N! specifically and look. Mark “The Human” Steyn has received several plaudets in the past.
“#Right Wing Conspiricist, ca. 1848 said,
February 13, 2009 at 17:55
American civilization is dying due to massive Papist Immigration and declining western birth rates, and by 1950 will be overrun by the profligate Irish.”
Well, you kind of just proved my point. Roman Catholics have a lot of influence over our politics today. The same will be true for Muslims in Europe in the future–and unlike Catholics they do things like honor killings and stonings.
As far as I’m concerned, civilization ends at my front door. That’s why I won’t venture outside, unless I have to.
seriously, who is Mark Steyn?
I don’t know but I suspect you’ll find him hiding under his bed in a puddle of his own urine.
Google “Islamic Rape Wave” and “Sweden” to see what I’m talking about.
e.g. Shorter Mark Steyn
seriously, who is Mark Steyn?
A Canadian who publishes writing in multiple media complaining that Muslims are taking away the freedom of speech guaranteed him by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Amazing how I made it through my layover in Stockholm last month without being hit by the “Islamic Rape Wave”.
Google it. Muslim Rape Wave.
You were only in the tourist areas, MajorKong.
It’s like a European thinking how wonderfully safe Detroit is because they stayed over night at some four-star hotel in the tourist district.
Yep, The Fool is back, and still hatin’ the ladies!
Suck it, vagina-havers! I’ll teach you to laugh at me!
I’ve surfed the wave. It was wicked.
Am I to understand that Nazis weren’t from the West, but Jesus was?
That’s why I like coming here. You learn things.
L’il Pig,
Yea, I guess we got over it pretty quickly. Not to say that we still don’t think about it, particularly when there’s a plane crash like last night’s or the one in the Hudson, and it’s not like it isn’t part of our daily lives.
I still can’t get over the armed Guardsmen carrying M-16s and wearing camo, which makes absolutley zero fucking sense in a concrete canyon, but I digress.
We’re a tough bunch, New Yorkers. When a manhole cover blows off, we call it in the air. I usually pick heads.
I still have trouble picturing how someone could rape a wave. Maybe a very small wave I suppose.
Jesus wasn’t, but since the Middle Ages the religion he founded has been almost exclusively western.
Nazis were not western in origin. Their ideas came from ancient near East mysticism
Son, I think you’re a mite bit confused.
http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/symbols/swastika.htm
(I seem to have lost my link-burying ability. Or is this what all the FYWP-ing is about?)
Google Muslim Rape Wave. Maybe some “feminists” here will wake up then.
Or read some Bruce Bawer. He is a gay liberal who moved to Holland thinking it would be more tolerant, but was shocked at the level to which radical Muslims have corrupted Dutch society targeting gays (among others).
Nothing like being a terrorists, is there, RWC.
Now move along before we call Homeland Security on you.
I still have trouble picturing how someone could rape a wave.
You’re thinking of the Islamic Wave Rape.
In the Islamic Rape Wave, it is the wave itself that does the raping (of white women).
There’s a few hundred million Orthodox Christians who might take issue with that “exclusively western” thing.
Google Batboy. All you “environmentalists” will change your tune.
I think many of you libs would be woken up to threat if you read Bruce Bawer. He is still a gay liberal but recognizes the Muslim threat to Europe.
It was Sarah Palin. All of it. Just don’t tell Pammy Juggs that. This is an actual quote from Atlas Juggs:
SARAH!
This is our future — mighty bright. This is our Margaret Thatcher (can you see the leftard lurkers groan? A figure like Palin is to the left what a silver cross is to a vampire).
After four years of an incompetent socialist, America will throw him the hell out with both hands and the pendulum will swing the other way. Think David Dinkins in NYC (a perfect example of a wildly unqualified failed affirmative action project).
I had to post on that one. Pamela’s always making really bad jokes at the expense of black people, and doing it in her SarahPAC post was just too much. “our Margaret Thatcher”? I don’t think Palin even knows who Thatcher is. And yes, Pamela goes on to ask readers to donate to Palin’s PAC.
The funny thing is that though Pamela’s blocked my emails and comments on her site, she has forgotten to unlink me. I’m linked in her sidebar to my old blog, which now refers people to my mockery blog where we mock the hell out of Pamela (among others). Oh well, if she pulls anything I’ll just threaten to post her cell #….HAHA.
I won’t venture into any of the United States except MA, VT, and NH. Everything else has been polluted by western civilization. Also, there are too many white people. They’re scary.
Lord knows I love those states, too, but iffin you’re scared of white folks you’ve got an unpleasant surprise coming.
Islamic Rape Wave, is that something new from Bose?
Funny how the “western” part came in about the time the “Jesus” part went out.
And it didn’t take until the Middle Ages. Rome had pretty well co-opted the cult of Jesus as a mechanism of social control by the 300s.
If you libs googled it and read what it really is, you wouldn’t be laughing.
Everything Jesus knew he learned from Buddha. Jesus was a poseur, a boddhisatva with a wee bit of the delusions of grandeur. “Son o’ God,” indeed! Ha.
Gay liberals can be bedwetters, too. It’s not an exclusively conservative thing.
Why don’t you read some of his site before you call him a “bedwetter”? Unlike you he has been threatened directly by Islamists for being gay. He had to flee Holland for Norway even.
“really”. You keep using that word, but I don’t think it means what you think it means.
see the meme: “it must be true, I read it on the Internet”.
I’ll be sure to keep my sphincter tightly clenched the next time I’m in Europe.
Liberals like me are never bed wetters!
ZOMG GLOBAL WARMING! D0000M!!11!
In the Islamic Rape Wave, it is the wave itself that does the raping (of white women).
You think they’d put a sign up to warn swimmers… “CAUTION: strong undertow and rape waves” sort of thing.
In Russia, Islamic rave wape you! No wait —
He had to flee Holland for Norway even.
Good thing he didn’t flee to Texas or Mississippi.
Jesus wasn’t, but since the Middle Ages the religion he founded has been almost exclusively western.
You mean like Nazism?
Hitler was an admirer of Muhammad, and said he wanted to make Nazism the “Islam of our age”.
Hitler was an admirer of Muhammad, and said he wanted to make Nazism the “Islam of our age”.
So he thoroughly Westernized an Eastern idea? Like Jesus did?
Guess that’s why Preston Bush sold steel to Hitler, huh?
I hope you like short stocky guys with hairy backs tintin….
Hey better to go abroad and be raped by swarthy islamicists than stay here and be raped by portly rednecks. At least Lawrence of Arabia was kinda hawt.
PLEASE DON’T FEED THE MOTHERFUCKING OBTUSE DOUCHEBAG IDIOT TROLL.
PLEASE.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
DON’T. FEED. THE. TROLL.
I thought that’s all Sadly No! did now. Post something interesting and then waste a whole lotta bandwidth feeding trolls. Pity, really.
Maybe some “feminists” here will wake up then.
Okay, rise n’ shine, fellow “feminists”! Time to go out and castrate a few wieneraimers.
Uh, Lawrence of Arabia was a Brit.
I think we should start our own rape wave right here in the good ole’ USA. Start by handing baseball audiences dildos and just see where it goes.
DON’T. FEED. THE. TROLL.
Good idea.
My killfile, RWC. Let me show you it.
Wow, meta-troll. That’s deep.
Islamic Rape Wave
No, the Islamic Rape Wave is just another example of what’s ruining major league sports. I hate it when they start that shit at the stadium!
Liberals laughing about rape. Amazing.
When conservatives make rape jokes, feministas want our heads.
Uh, Lawrence of Arabia was a Brit.
We all know british people are too mincing for serious rapine. More’s the pity.
OK rusty, I’ve been convinced. I am switching over to firefox, I’ve installed Greasemonkey, I’ve got the killfile script, but I can’t get it to display the kill buttons on the comments….
Help?
Once again proving the point that when a Third World culture does it, it’s OK! No matter what.
Some of the ultra-liberals in Holland even said western women should be more “tolerant” of Muslim ideas about women so they should wear a “cover” when in their neighborhoods. I.e., that they’re inviting rape. What do the libs here think of that?
Brandi: I think we’re way beyond not feeding the troll here. It’s through the looking-glass time.
Help?
In the Firefox toolbar, go to Tools: Greasemonkey: and be sure that “Enabled” is checked. Then refresh the page. You should see (kill) next to commenter names.
Once again proving the point that when a Third World culture does it, it’s OK! No matter what.</i?
When they commit genocide, it smells like flowers. Their shit coils resemble delicate paisley designs. When Third Worlders swear, it sounds like the tinkling of tiny silver bells in paradise.
My wife gets jealous tintin. It would have to be a threesome.
You liberals ever heard of honor killings?
When conservatives make rape jokes, feministas want our heads.
Yeah sure! Like what would we do with your useless heads? No, we want your tiny little penii to use in our naked writhing midnight rituals. mmmm, cocktail wienies!
RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!!
nope, still not getting it, RS.
You liberals ever heard of honor killings?
No, but hum a few bars and we’ll fake it.
When they commit genocide, it smells like flowers. Their shit coils resemble delicate paisley designs. When Third Worlders swear, it sounds like the tinkling of tiny silver bells in paradise.
They pee soft drinks. Oh. Wait. That’s cows in India.
No, we want your tiny little penii to use in our naked writhing midnight rituals.
They make great bait for small mouth bass too.
nope, still not getting it, RS.
Sorry – thus endeth my expertise. I somehow managed to luck into making it work but I don’t know how to recreate the experience. Maybe somebody else will help.
When conservatives make rape jokes, feministas want our heads.
They’d look pretty funny with your heads.
They should feel lucky we want any part of them at all.
Fuck, if this doesn’t get him banned, nothing will.
No. No, it really isn’t.
I dream of Penii she’s-a light brown hair….
Click on my name, liberals!
Now click on it.
If Fjordman says it, you know it’s gotta be true.
Oh man, that picture of Ann Coulter on the right made me remember how my legs are unshaven and my feminism comes from failing to get a right wing man to marry me. I am filled with shame and await my justified Islamorape.
Pam is so wingnutty. Of course it has to be a conspiracy. It couldn’t possibly be that every institutional and large individual investor were panicking after a firm like Lehman went under. Oh no…that’s too frackin’ rational.
I’ve got another good link, now.
I keep hearing about these “big links”, but all I’m seeing is a Vienna sausage.
The British Authorities have surrendered to extremism. The world is doomed. Quick, build a bunker! Perhaps we can yet save some few remnants of Western Civilization! We’ll need fifty sturdy Aryan men, and the Mona Lisa, stat!
What killfile script did you install, Rotten? I tried one that didn’t work, but then found a S,N! specific one that seems to do the trick…
Ah, the latest issue of Chicken Little Weekly.
I don’t care how nuts she gets from now on. She’ll never, ever top that “Malcolm X was Obama’s father” stuff.
You libs are 100% chicken little about “global warming”.
Simba’s script is nice: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/38746
I dunno, BS. I’m waiting for the “Malcolm X masterminded the bank run from Dubai” post.
That’s got it DMM.
Thx. Should improve the Sadly, No experience. And I say that as one who has succumbed to the call of the trool once or twice…
I’m not proud of it.
Damn, they said *I* was crazy!
When she starts talking about “gaz from the anus of a horse” you’ll know she’s really around the bend.
Ann Coulter must be thrilled that one of those goddamn whiny 911 widows was killed in today’s plane crash.
Didn’t Ann Coulter win the Westminster Kennel Club show this week?
Her continued existence after the death of her husband was unnecessary anyway.
Pammiekins’ ZOMG post kinda takes the winds out of the “Dubya kept us safe from teh Izlamofascists after September 11” arguement, yes?
Heh heh heh…
Her continued existence after the death of her husband was unnecessary anyway.
Heh, indeed. How can property exist with no owner?
Thank you, RB. Simba’s script *is* quite nice.
It’s like leaving out uncovered meat in a roomful of cats!
Rusty, my understanding was that she was visiting his next-of-kin, so perhaps there was some “lend-lease” arrangement in Coulter’s mind.
Wow, yeah! The killfile works as though a charm.
Ann Coulter must be thrilled that one of those goddamn whiny 911 widows was killed in today’s plane crash.
Damn. That’s one for the Twilight Zone. How often do a husband and wife die in two separate plane crashes? (Not sure how the husband died, but it was at least caused by a plane crash).
Should improve the Sadly, No experience.
Pie-scripts and kill-files are band-aid measures. Morons just change their nyms.
I propose a select committee of volunteer moderators quietly deleting behind the scenes. How hard would that be?
Not to suppress speech or create an echo chamber; just to eliminate disaffected losers whose only purpose is to provoke, insult, derail & offend ON A REPETITIVE BASIS thereby destroying our reason for coming to Sadly, No! It’s pretty easy to distingish malicious vandals from random disagreers.
A few of the chronic troll-feeders would need to be deleted just to send a message. No registration necessary, just some casual editing.
Rusty, my understanding was that she was visiting his next-of-kin, so perhaps there was some “lend-lease” arrangement in Coulter’s mind.
The unperfected Christians did have rules on this.
Killfile: better than a ShamWow.
How often do a husband and wife die in two separate plane crashes?
Well, there was that other woman who survived another plane crash after she escaped the WTC.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb5089/is_200502/ai_n18499950
I wish Pam would just watch soaps like regular Jewish American Princessii.
The unperfected Christians did have rules on this.
That’s how poor old Onan got in trouble.
Well, there was that other woman who survived another plane crash after she escaped the WTC.
Dewd. Unbreakable! We should get her to don a cape and save us from the shadowy Islamofascist menace.
That’s right, L’il Pig. Onan refused his brother’s wife and, um, pulled His Fool out.
UiP, She’s our Unsinkable Molly Brown.
Didn’t Ann Coulter win the Westminster Kennel Club show this week?
Please, her coat and conformation are CRAP.
Hm. Must have been some other old dog, then.
henry:
I propose a select committee of volunteer moderators quietly deleting behind the scenes. How hard would that be?
OR you could all just quit acting like Stalinist jackasses and let The Fool post the kind of stuff he was posting this morning which wasn’t anything near as bad as the shit he’s posting now that you all decided to play rough.
The stuff he was posting this morning, before tintin deleted it all, was clever and on-topic. Why was it censored anyway?
I had to google that. Neat.
yeah Onan pulled out of his wife and shot a big load all over actor 212’s smiling open-mouthed face
Please, her coat and conformation are CRAP.
Her conformation too? I thought she was a perfect specimen of her type.
Poor old The Truth/The Fool/Conservative Observer/Comedy Arbiter etc… any work he’d thought he’d ever done (despite everyone else denying he’d achieved anything at all) here at Sadly No! completely wrecked by one of the most pathetic spaz-outs in internet history; because how dumb do you have to be to get the posters here to mass kill file you? It’s like being thrown out of a chimpanzee’s tea party for bad behaviour. Of course, he’ll be back with a new nym and IP address within an hour or so, but still it’s really quite the achievement in self-debasement. And no doubt still wondering why no one clicks his links… yeah, like people are going to trust an obsessive compulsive whose hatred has devolved him to the point of impotent racism, incomprehensibly mangled talking points and half-remembered events, and immature posting of ASCII penuses and page breaking scroll comments… even if they didn’t know how to mouse over them first. FrontPageMag…? That’s what you’ve sunk too now? Deary, deary me. Time for your parents to organize an intervention I suspect…
America’s memory:
How about I tear your ass apart with my huge Fool cock? You know you want it!
8======D
“penus” — is that Latin for “penis”?
8=======D
I thought she was a perfect specimen of her type.
Well, opinions differ, but most of the judges felt that even for a Fetid Craphound she was a monstrosity.
I propose a select committee of pathetic jackoffs, drop trou and let the Fool wreck their asses one by one using his patented Up-On-The-Backstroke technique but getting ruff wid it..
All in favor? Oh, I know you all favor. Drop trou!
I am such a little weasel
not only that, I am a whiny little pussy
A few of the chronic troll-feeders would need to be deleted just to send a message. No registration necessary, just some casual editing.
Woops! Watch out for that slippery slope there, henry lewis.
get back over here actor212! Now open wide so we can swap this gigantic cockload of Fool jism!
You know we both love Fool jism. Yum! tastes great!
I can’t get enuf Fool jism!
So, what will the next EXCLUSIVE (MUST CREDIT PAMTITS MEDIA) conspiracy be?
AmMem, I liked particularly how it was as if Troofie was issuing orders and we’d all be sooooo compliant to click over.
NC,
Barack Obama launches a raid on Israel?
Please, just ban this joker.
At last, The Corner reaches The Incredibles, #2 on the countdown of America’s Best Conservatives Movies since Red Dawn opened the current period of conservative cinematic renaissance 25 years ago.
The whole film is one big pop-culture reference, but I guess the lack of poo and pee jokes takes precedence.
Woops! Watch out for that slippery slope there, henry lewis.
henry – I hope you’re nowhere near the levers of actual power the next time there’s a terrorist incident in the US. You’ll go Orwell faster than tintin will offer his rump to the first German soldier he sees overrunning his pathetic little country.
What a classic mindset you have!
So, what will the next EXCLUSIVE (MUST CREDIT PAMTITS MEDIA) conspiracy be?
OVERLORD HUSSEIN X BEHIND FIGHT 3407 CRASH
911 WIDOW “KNEW TOO MUCH”
Why won’t the Democrat media report this etc.
I’ve surfed the wave. It was wicked.
It was ninety feet and glassy, brah.
You’ll have to concede that we all hate marriage, courage, responsibility, and high achievement.
actor212: if you ever saw me, you’d be so stricken, it would be instant lordosis as you begged me to wreck your ass. You’d do anything for a Fool Facial.
But the bottom line, actor212, is if you ever saw me in real life, you would do exactly as you were told.
You’ll have to concede that we all hate marriage, courage, responsibility, and high achievement.
Especially Obama. HATES those things.
If Fjordman says it, you know it’s gotta be true.
I really think that “Fjordman” writes these ‘essays’ of his for middle schoolers to print out for class. They’re so fucking amateur! Pammyjuggs runs all of them though.
The Corner reaches The Incredibles, #2 on the countdown of America’s Best Conservatives Movies
Weren’t the superheroes forced into hiding out because Americans were tired of them?
In the internet empire in my mind, I am the sole comment moderator, deleting and approving as I see fit. My services are not provided on a volunteer basis, however, for I am well remunerated for my work. As I should be.
Mr. Troll, I don’t like to interfere with anyone’s comments, but could you stop dominating threads and making people uncomfortable?
It’s gotten unpleasant enough to trigger our rarely-invoked anti-asshole policy (see About page).
I think I can speak for my fellow liberals here: we all hate things that are nice, therefore the Care Bears are a conservative triumph.
Poor Fool. I guess he’s learning that freedom of speech doesn’t extend to the right to yell “I really, really hate women” in a crowded theatre.
But the bottom line, actor212, is if you ever saw me in real life, you would do exactly as you were told.
“Would you like fries with that?”
“Uh…”
“You WILL have fries with that!!” *humps counter*
I think I can speak for my fellow liberals here: we all hate things that are nice, therefore the Care Bears are a conservative triumph.
And Spring is really nice, so that must be right wing.
You liberals ever heard of honor killings?
Is that when a dude gets the death penalty but gets his sentence thrown out later because the court or the cops or the prosecutor or somebody fucked something up really bad?
Man, that shit is getting old. Can we just get over the fact that I really, really fucking hate women, and move on?
At last, The Corner reaches The Incredibles, #2 on the countdown of America’s Best Conservatives Movies since Red Dawn opened the current period of conservative cinematic renaissance 25 years ago.
We all saw that coming. Some people are just better than others, and need to be given special allowances and privileges! The problem is in translating “can fly and throw trucks” to “has a billion dollars.”
Woops! Watch out for that slippery slope there, henry lewis.
Well considering the whole point of his goading people into stupid argument swapping is to give himself a sense of control over a webpage (because he’s unable to do more than basic script-kiddy attacks directly natch) by filling the comments with references to himself; rather like the famous Gary Larson comic “What dogs hear”, the content of a thread is not as important as him hearing “Blah Blah Blah The Truth Blah Blah The Truth”. So leaving the responses to him, even if they mock his appallingly dumb attention seeking will still generate the same amount of work for any moderators, because he’ll keep trolling just to generate the undeleted responses instead. As he’s doing right now in fact; notice he’s targetting all his responses at individual posters, because he’s hoping you’ll bite… And remember, he’s been doing this for years. He’s not interested in being fair or rational, he just wants to destroy people he’s sociopathically addicted to hating… and he doesn’t really care how he does it.
NC, did he really say that to me?
Gee, yet another area that he wouldn’t stack up to me…I pity The Fool.
This animated film skips pop-culture references and gross jokes in favor of a story that celebrates marriage, courage, responsibility, and high achievement.
Yeah, the parents cheering the son to hold back and come in second place on purpose ROCKS.
gavin:
I was just fine this morning, posting hilarious rhyming verse, nothing like what you’re seeing now. Then tintin decided to erase it all. So fuck it. There was nothing wrong with what I was posting this morning — I mean this place has a LITTLE edge to it doesn’t it? But tintin had to be a dick and erase it all.
I can be a dick too.
I can actually buy The Incredibles as a quasi-conservative movie. Power of family, check. People who are good at stuff should be celebrated, check. People who suck at stuff shouldn’t get an artificial leg up, check. There’s plenty out there who believe that the film gets perilously close to fascistic in its delivery, so I can see the winger appeal. Not that it isn’t a great movie, because it is.
actor: I would wipe the floor with your sorry ass
Marriage, courage, responsibility, and high achievement are conservative values. If you have them, you’re a conservative.
A number of the superheroes get sued and that costs the federal superhero program (this is very conservative) a lot of money, and then public opinion turns against them, so the federal government sets up a Supers Protection Program (this is very, very conservative).
I *still* can’t find anything that does killfile function for Opera. Dang. I really lurvs me my Opera. It’s especially galling because I wrote the original killfile for netnews (which was
rnfor VM, written almost entirely in Rexx). But that was twenty or so years ago and I doan know dick about this web stuff – I just haven’t got a clue.*sigh*
Thank you.
If marriage is a conservative value, well, I guess that explains why Rush is on his fourth and Newt is on his third and Bob Barr is on his third, and Bob Dole is on his second, and…
Damn. That was me.
.. and Barack is on his first.
Power of family, check. People who are good at stuff should be celebrated, check.
Yeah, those are conservative values, fo sho. As a liberal, I hate my family and think people who are good at stuff should be punished, and people who suck at it should be artificially rewarded. It’s why I invested in Morgan Stanley.
“he’s been doing this for years.”
Ive been doing this for days, dumbass: 2 days.
My verse posts this morning should have been just fine unless you’re all a bunch of old ladies. That’s what the fool would have been like, but instead tintin came down with the heavy Stalinist hand of censorship, so fuck you.
UiP, were you a Madoff investor, too?
Punching your boss: conservative. Wanting to serve the public: conservative.
The Corner reaches The Incredibles, #2 on the countdown of America’s Best Conservatives Movies
Dear God, make it stop.
Wuzza-wuzzup, loony libs? The Cool Coach was stopping by to serve up a heaping SPREAD of TRUTH, but saw you were infested with some trolls! LOL to the WALL, loony libs! If you can’t handle someone like the Fool all up in your grill, how are you gonna handle it when Super Sarah, the Power Palin, breaks up the Obummer party in 2012? Urban out.
Portraying the boss at the insurance company in a negative light because he’s exclusively concerned about the shareholders and would prefer to see every claim denied: conservative.
I wish I could go back and change my yearbook quote to: “Ride the Islamic Rape Wave!!”
I wrote the original killfile for netnews…
Which was great, but Mother Night was even better.
Leaving your infant child exposed to the kidnapping and possible torture of a lunatic: conservative.
Also re The Incredibles, did they forget the insurance job bits? Not very “Huzzah for Capitalism!” Plus, BLACK GUY WITH SUPERPOWERS!
Of course. But I can still see how the film can be interpreted as conservative.
Yo Coach! The Gators are MY team. You are just the window dressing!
(slow, sarcastic, half-hearted clap) Well done.
Is someone going to argue that she’s relevant because she kicked in the men’s bathroom door and ambushed John Bolton once?
Yo Tim Tebow: still got the impressions of my foot on your ass?

BWAHAHAWAHA.
Frau Atlas always strikes me as someone trying to post with a gonch full of stoats … I almost want to admire the obviously kamikaze-pilot-league dedication, but the massive incoherence- & disgust-factors sort of kill it for me. YMMV?
I more or less understand that – & that’s creepy. I am very much NOT a cricket fancier.
Personally, I’d have to say I find either scrolling past their futile lumps of spoor OR lovingly feeding them their own minced & sauteed arsehole to be roughly equally pleasant. Their response tends to be a few weak gobs of intellectual PolyFilla or nothing, & driving one off a thread is a big warm schadenfreude hugbox for my heart.
There’s a certain weird charm to watching the Mulligan Stew of projection, selective memory & a version of modern history co-sponsored by IBM & K-Tel helplessly devolve amid all the putative preening &/or menacing.
The Truth Is: somebody’s mewling whine of “you MUST read this”-type demands is just about as close to uploading a YouTube video of oneself eating bugs as it can get on a thread … & hey hey hey, thar she blows again!
At times, I think even the most vivid & pithy gems of wit from the Sadlynauts (a commodity that both humbles & inspires me) get blazingly eclipsed by the lol-power of some pinwit who puffs their sallow thorax out & beams with neurotic pride as they zealously gargle their own mental pus. Repeatedly.
The reason trolls are so mad is from gnawing the heads off of Interwebs-poultry & never having anybody on the thread admire their mandibular prowess enough to throw them any nickles. Poor titty-babies.
*(hums) “Don’t go changin’ / to try & please me …”*
But I can still see how the film can be interpreted as conservative.
Well sure. But the point is that if you’re using their standards it’s very difficult to find any film that can’t be called conservative, except maybe An Inconvenient Truth.
This is awesome. From Frederica Mathewes-Green’s full review of the movie:
You see, in the version conservatives see when they watch The Incredibles, there’s a family of supers that lives down the street from the Parr family, and when they determine their little girl lacks distinguishable super powers, they expose her out on the freeway because they’re the liberal family of supers.
Goggle: Mr. Fiddlesticks Rape Wave.
Just do it. Europe is becoming cat people.
That’s no so far from real life. When the kid couldn’t stack blocks properly that was that and we got a new one who could.
If marriage is a conservative value, well, I guess that explains why Rush is on his fourth and Newt is on his third and Bob Barr is on his third, and Bob Dole is on his second, and…
CANDIDE (sings).
Since marriage is divine, of course,
We cannot understand, sir,
Why there should be so much divorce.
Do let us know the answer.
CHORUS.
Do let us know the answer.
PANGLOSS.
Why, marriage, boy,
Is such a joy,
So lovely a condition,
That many ask no better than
To wed as often as they can,
In happy repetition.
CHORUS and CUNEGONDE.
A brilliant exposition.

I vaguely remember seeing that when it came out,and thinking, “Meh, that was OK, but no great shakes.” And then I forgot about it for the next 19 years.
So,of course, it is one of the best conservative movies of all time. I guess conservative in the sense of who gives a flying fuck anyway?
Double dose of win from Gavin and RB just now.
So,of course, it is one of the best conservative movies of all time.
Because it bravely acknowledges the inherent superiority of our plutocratic overlords.
You’re not banned; you just need to hurl your devastating riposte from a public wi-fi connection or the town library.
Oh, praise Jeebus! Free at last!
Thank you, Gavin M!
I can still kind of hear the trool screeching through the nearly-soundproof firewall, but that’s much better than the avalanche of poo we would be getting.
And it will find its way to another IP, but this is a nice step.
It’s so…quiet here.
Blart.
Jeez! And after I spent all that time getting the killfile to work!!
I just killfiled it…with my mind.
This one, Jennifer? I wonder if that is Pammy.

I’d like to know who it was who withdrew all that money and started the run.
It could have been an individual (George Soros) or a consortion of countries (Iran, Venezuela Russia) who had an interest in seeing Obama elected.
It’s all a little strange it started right before our election, isn’t it?
But I swear, if this place goes back to blarting, I will take a hostage….
I’m getting my wife a burka for Valentine’s Day. What do you think, blue or black?
Black. Blue might match her eyes, but it also inflames the passions.

And better make it out of leather.
You may find that it continues to be valuable. Just sayin’.
Why do I always miss the good stuff?
You know, come to think of it, “conservatives” like Pammie see bedwet-inducing monsters like all those crazy catholics see the image of Virgin Mary: “Dooooood!!!!! al-Zawahiri is in my grilled cheese sammich call Fox News!”
Mooser – yep, that’s the one. Predates Pammy’s meltdown by a couple of days.
I wonder if the troll tracked its spoor over to her place, or if she actually hangs out in Sadly, No! comment threads. Perhaps under the name “the Fool” or somesuch.
The thing is…everyone thinks they have individual talent. A smart filmmaker might use [BLINK]METAPHORS[/BLINK] to exploit this and make audiences identify with the characters.
And better make it out of leather.
Is it too Westernly decadent to make it out of kevlar?
Jeez! And after I spent all that time getting the killfile to work!!
You could use it preemptively. Or apply Cheney’s One Percent Doctrine to comments and commenters. Think of the possibilities!
I don’t think “Conservative Observer” is Pambo. The IP address associated with CO’s comments is a long way away from Long Island.
Hahhahhaha. Metaphors. NRO people don’t get metaphors, silly. OK, the really hammy handed ones, maybe, but all they can get from subtext is what’s left after removing the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th letters.
You know, come to think of it, “conservatives” like Pammie see bedwet-inducing monsters like all those crazy catholics see the image of Virgin Mary: “Dooooood!!!!! al-Zawahiri is in my grilled cheese sammich call Fox News!”
At the moment she is quite agitated about someone or something named “Geert Wilders.” Sounds made-up.
Rush broke the Soros/foreign countries bank run story before Pam.
I’d like to know WHY the MSM won’t investigate who was taking out all that money, though. Kind of convenient how it happened right before the election!
Drug-resistant troll is drug-resistant.
It would have been much more convenient for the pukes if the economy exploded after their “watch”.
Too bad. Life is unfair to pukes. *Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!*
Kind of convenient how it happened right before the election!
Not really.
Bear Stearns’ collapse preceeded the Sept. meltdown by a fair pace. It’s not as if investors weren’t jittery and watching for signs to bolt.
I really think the whole meltdown was some kind of inside job on the part of pro-Democrat left wing power brokers, a group of anti-American countries, or a combination of the two.
They already did. Thanks for playing!

That was awesome. Great parody.

At the risk of feeding the troll, I think CO was fishing for details, like names, SS#s, bank account #s, things like that. So would I, come to think of it. Only for informational purposes, of course.
That BBC article said nothing about WHO was withdrawing money. Ex., it could have been some Russian or Venezuelan sovreign wealth fund trying to fix the election for BHO.
They should also be investigating Soros.
I bet it was Carlos Slim.
My money’s on Kaiser Souse.
EX, Wikipedia says about Soros:
“George Soros has made his mark as an enormously successful speculator, wise enough to largely withdraw when still way ahead of the game.
Emphasis mine.
It could have been Soros. It could have been Baron von Thyssen. It could have been Prince William. It could have been the Easter Bunny. It could have been Blofeldt or Goldfinger. That’s it! It was Goldfinger! “No, Mr. T-Bond, I expect you to die!”
Soros: A rather shady and reclusive financial speculator who favors Democrat interests, and has been known to manipulate other countries elections. Then, there was a bank run JUST before ours that favored his candidate. Hmmm…
I wonder if BHO knew too?
Looks like the Trike Force airhead cadets are falling back on the old reliable “Squalling Tantrum” attack.
All wrapped up warm and cozy in safety of the Internet…
Really the devastating thing Soros did was arrange for some kinda monkey retard to do everything wrong for eight years, thus setting up his preferred candidate.
I have a confession. I took $550 billion dollars out of the money market funds on September 15th./
I’m Spartacus!
No no, owlbear, that’s the whole point! Enlisting Ralph Nader’s help, Soros determined that if he got the single most incompetent
boobRepublican to serve as president, he could have a Pax Liberiania that would last a thousand years!It just warms the cockles of my heart (note to self: what the fuck are cockles anyway? If only there were some way to find out…) to see certain non-human “contributors” furiously exercising their teensy-weensy wittle brains by working up as much paranoic hysteria as they possibly can. It’s so *cute*.
Okay, I’m over it now. Never mind.
I am known to lean toward the conspiracy side of things, but what is it with these conservatives that everything is a result of some kind of conspiracy?
So Washington Mutual had a run on it that caused it to collapse. Could have been that people were anxious about the markets and WaMu was tragically undercapitalized, or maybe it was OH NOES HTE SOROS!!!1!
idiots.
Soros determined that if he got the single most incompetent boob Republican to serve as president, he could have a Pax Liberiania that would last a thousand years!
Uhm,… didn’t everybody?
Capitalists: conspiring to make money and not lose it.
Also, cockles is a fun word even after I used the global system of computers to learn more about it. Words like cockles and perturbation are just plain fun to say.
That is all.
Cockturbation.
I told you not to disclose the contents of our secret mailing list, liberals.
NOW YOU WILL PAY.
Owlbear,
Well, we certainly dreamed it, but Soros put it into action.
Well, everybody on the ‘moveon.org’ mailing list decided that was the best way to go…
Aw, Jeez, George, I was invested with Madoff! I paid already!
oops

No, you don’t. You just regurgitate the bullshit talking points you get from Rush. You’re a dittohead.
Or you’re a regular who likes to pretend it’s a dittohead in some stupid attempt to piss off the rest of us. Either way, you’re a dickhead. So fuck off.
Puppy paillard…my favorite!
Rush broke the Soros/foreign countries bank run story
Rush doesn’t break stories. Only actual journalists do that.
And no, Jeff Gannon doesn’t count.

Fixed for naked raw reality.
What you people need to realize before its too late and Obama leaves this country drowning in liberal debt is that this bill is a pork disaster. Michael Barone has already said that Republicans will regain a majority in Congress in 2010 because of this pork bill. You liberals don’t understand. You don’t understand the laws of economics.
Pork Disaster would be a really cool band name.
Oh, well…if Michael Barone has said it, then it’s a done deal. Better get ready to be the “loyal opposition” again, fellow Dems.
Apparently some people just never quite get it.
I’m getting my wife a burka for Valentine’s Day. What do you think, blue or black?
I prefer black over the blue ones which could be mistaken for a “Snuggie”, but that’s just me.
Oh crap, another “Palin in 12” moron? What, you read Atlas Shrugs and don’t get a mix of horror and giggle fits? Remember, always remember that Pamela said that Palin is our Margaret Thatcher. (I did link that above, didn’t I? Somewhere?)
I am so paliniated it hurts. MzNicky did leave a comment about knowing Palin in the form of other women not deserving of any love from us ages ago, and I loved that comment so much that I wrote a post on it. (not at my blog linked here, that one’s for posting Juggs shots and so forth) I tried to ask but you weren’t around. Is it OK that I used that comment? It was a great one. I linked back to you. Right after you wrote it one of the “involved Moms” at my kids’ school started wearing the Palin hair and had new glasses. Definitely “the woman you’ve known your whole life”.
OK, sorry for hijacking the thread, but when people bring up Palin I get a tad bit angry still at her existence.
Either way, you’re a dickhead. So fuck off.
You tell em Commie.
What you people need to realize before its too late and Obama leaves this country drowning in liberal debt is that this bill is a pork disaster.
Got two words for you:
SqueeeeeeealSqueeeeeeeeeeal!
Get used to it, cuz that’s what Halliburton’s next annual report will sound like.
IF Obama’s plan is SUCH a disaster why aren’t you Republicans cheerfully helping it along?
Pork Disaster would be a really cool band name.
It sounds more like a dorm meal.
You liberals don’t understand. You don’t understand the laws of economics.
Clearly, we do not. Cearly, we understand nothing. Thank you for pointing this out to us. We promise to try harder in the future. The future, by the way, is the best place to do it since that’s where we’re going to spend most of our time.
Again, please accept our generous and heartfelt thanks. Also, I wish to cancel my subscription immediately.
Michael Barone has already said
Barone in January of 2005:
Social security overhaul seems to be the Bush administration’s first priority for 2005. To gauge the prospects of success, it may be helpful to compare Bush’s formidable task with the No. 1 goal of the incoming Clinton administration in 1993, healthcare finance overhaul. On the surface, Clinton’s odds of a win looked better in early 1993 than Bush’s do today.
But Bush actually has a better chance of prevailing. Keeping in mind that in the early stages Clinton had offered few details of his plan, just as Bush has been unspecific so far, the policy environment for Bush today looks better than it was for Clinton 12 years ago
…Because in broad terms the Bush plan is better policy and a more salable idea…In addition, the Bush Social Security plan is more in line with the direction in which society is moving. The Clintons were seeking more government control of one seventh of the economy at a time when people had more respect for decentralized markets and less for centralized bureaucracy. The midcentury assumption that progress meant more government perished in the stagflation and gas lines of the 1970s. Bush’s individual accounts, in contrast, are intended to give more people access to markets to accumulate wealth at a time when most voters are investors. At midcentury it seemed wise to rely on big institutions to provide a safety net. But as big corporations default on their pension promises and when the Social Security trust fund is projected to fall to zero when today’s 30-year-olds reach retirement age, it seems wiser to rely on savings multiplied by compound interest.
Epic Fail.
Jeepers. From farcical aquatic ceremony (teh cricket) through the Swamp of Foolishness back to Gellerational theft. It’s a bit much for a kiwi of little brain.
Serious question: In the 1987 crash, much was made of computers being set to Sell! Sell! Sell! when a certain level was reached and thus triggering the landslide. Could something similar have happened here in the run on the banks? Iknow that Geller would then presume that Ayrabs controlled the computers.
Yo’ Smut Clyde. Bryning down the House envy goin’ on here. He coming to the Manawatu?
Hah!
It sounds more like a dorm meal.
I know someone whose mother made them eat – often – baloney salad.
I can’t even imagine how horrible this would be, and don’t even want to know what was in it other than the baloney.
But since Pam is too busy looking for the face of Mohammed secretly burned into her toasted bagel by her dhimmi-crat toaster, this possibility, of course, doesn’t even occur to her.
SO perfect. She got really pissed at me when I said she was “too hyper-focused” and that she couldn’t see the forest for the imaginary crescents blinding her vision. Her new best friend, Robert Spencer, is the same. “Jihad! It is allllll JIHAD!!!!” A perfect match. Half a glass of red wine on the table, her juggs almost jumping out onto Spencer, priceless.
Oh great, Spencer reads threads that his name comes up in, so now he’ll come here. Then he’ll email me 30 times. Sorry, didn’t mean to bring the Spencer down on you all. OTOH, where better for him to get slaughtered than in this crowd?
Islamic Rape Wave? Overrated. To be fair, maybe in a club they would have been better but their harmonic ululation was lost in the Beacon Theater. Also, the Leftard Lurkers were awesome. Tough act to follow.

There were some regulations set up to stop that in the Stock Market. Given the complete lack of over-sight on “Slush” Fund management however you may have a point.

I know a rhetorical question when I see it. No, he’s up to Auckland today.
Now tell me those “interpretive dancers” weren’t so bad after all, were they?
Not bad at all. Of course their white costumes tapped right into my perverse dental-hygienist fantasies.
Lex –
So you knew Pammy when she was still somewhat coherent, huh? Is she another one of those “9/11 changed everything” bedwetters who just totally went over to the dark side?
And whatever happened to her husband? I remember reading about him being investigated for something illegal a while back.
So for over a year you see companies like CountryWide go under. Northern Rock gets nationalized. Bears Sterns collapses. Every bank continually reports billions and billions in losses. The US is forced to take over Fannie and Freddie. The Fed and other central banks of the world start pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into the system. The Dow loses about 4,000 points. Merrill Lynch loses about 8 billion dollars and is eventually forced to sell itself to Bank of America. Lehman Brothers goes bankrupt. The money market “breaks the buck”, etc. etc.
But NONE of that had anything to do with the financial crisis because these things all happened before Pammy’s proposed “terrorist attack” that “caused” the financial crisis (and that happened on MONDAY, Sept. 15.)
I know because on Sunday, the 14th of September, the day before this “attack”, I wrote this to my friend:
“Tomorrow is shaping up to be a pretty crazy day for the ol’ economy. Should the stock market absolutely collapse tomorrow and should we find ourselves in another Great Depression, don’t be too surprised.”
Does this mean I was privy to some super secret Sorosian Muslim conspiracy? No. I, like many economists and financiers, had spent that weekend closely following the emergency weekend meetings going on between the Fed, the Treasury and the major Wall St. banks, and it was pretty clear to all of us, that they weren’t going to be able to stop the coming catastrophe over the course of a single weekend.
In all fairness to Robert Spenser, he is a washed up douchebag with no real prospects, so you can’t blame him for slobbering over Hte Enhanced Juggs®.
It’s all your fault, Nylund. Aren’t you ashamed?
Pish and Tosh, Nylund. The Lymphball Gospel tell us true tale…
The Barack Obama quintuplets.
tells us the true tale..
oi.
You poor soul, Nylund. You are oblivious to the irrefutable fact that you are but a puppet in the grand global plot to impose Shania Law.
Still waiting for that Shania Law.
You think Gary lied?
Gary Ruppert never lies. He only deals in facts.
I’m ambivalent about Shania. She’s kinda hot, but what’s with that music?
I dunno, the Shania Twain Center in Canada seems to be fomenting unrest. Maybe Gary was right.
I see. Do you think Obama is going to make it the center piece of his 2012 re-election run?
Depends if she stays in shape or not, I suppose. After all, Muslims can take harem and concubines.
Pork Disaster would be a really cool band name.
Easy for you to say.
Those Candians are a pretty rabid bunch so we really shouldn’t judge how well Shania rule will be here in North America.
I’m more into Shakira rule. She has intense abs.

Abs, ass, anyway you slice it she is a better direction for the global caliphate to turn in these dark economic times.
Everyone is missing what is right in front of our eyes. I’m shocked that no one has said it sooner:
Lehman Brothers threw itself over the cliff, with a big push from Hank Paulson, precisely for the purpose of making the Obama administration FAIL, FAIL, FAAIIIIILLLLLL in its first three weeks.
And anyone who blames Soros and Bin Laden and Russia and Venezuela is just trying to throw red herrings.
Now doesn’t that make sense, hmmmm??
Makes sense to me.
is just trying to throw red herrings.
Pardon me for pedantry, but you do not “throw” herrings. You keep them in another kettle. In the kitchen at Maison d’Etre, this sits on the shelf beside the can of worms.
Can I interest you in a Big Bag O’Dicks then?
All Cheney’d out, sorry.

Involving nitrous oxide, I must speculate.
Pat,
I don’t think so. This crisis was building for at least a year, and likely much longer. I called it back in 2006, and I feel I was late to the game.
Pardon me for pedantry, but you do not “throw” herrings. You keep them in another kettle. In the kitchen at Maison d’Etre, this sits on the shelf beside the can of worms.

OTOH, if we simply look at the RESULT of the crisis that came to a peak in the last months of 2008, and then take into account the fact that a lot of Republicans see their only hope lies in the failure of the Obama administration, and the fact that it was pretty clear that he would probably win…

‘They may not be saying it outright, but the Republican delegation is very angry. If they got Charlie Crist in a dark alley, all you’d have left is a tuft of white hair,” said Ana Navarro, a Republican consultant from Miami, suggesting Crist has dampened enthusiasm for a potential U.S. Senate run in 2010.

I Get the Feeling…
…that Barack Obama won’t be happy until he does to our economy what Chris Brown did to Rihanna.
http://confederateyankee.mu.nu/archives/282708.php
Oh, I get it, because Obama is blacky black, just like Chris Brown, and he hates America and wants to see America bloodied and bruised, etc…
It is getting quite farcical, the disjointed cluelessness of our shiny new POTUS. I could almost bring myself to be amused as he implodes his undeserved cult status, but the sad fact remains that he’s hell-bent on ill-fitting solutions that are almost certain to wreck the hopes and dreams of the present generation, while saddling the next with undeserved debt.
In other news, Obama still more popular than Reagan was at the beginning of his term. Film at 11.
I Get the Feeling…
…that Barack Obama won’t be happy until he does to our economy what Chris Brown did to Rihanna.
New York Times Headline: “Obama To Economy: Shut Up B— and Make Me A Sandwich!”
Did somebody say algorithms?
The plot thickens. In the ninth century, Barack Obama’s real father, Muhammad Ibn-Musa Abu-Ja’far al-Khwarizmi, born in Uzbekistan and Kenya, slyly contaminated the world with algebra, paving the way for his son Barack, the antichrist, and incidentally also a product of alchemy, to one day be born in both Indonesia and Kenya and reap the rewards of his own insidious sabotage of America’s dearest institutions, all before he was even born.
Or so we would be able to prove, if we could get our hands on the vault copy of his birth certificate.
I never knew Whit Stillman was such a conservative icon. I always thought he just made mildly entertaining movies with shitloads of dialogue.
I think that image probably makes everyone shift a little fagward on the Kinsey scale.

Zombie John Wayne!
Apparently these serious students of Hollywood are unaware that the Wayner hasn’t made any movies – or anything else – for the last 25 years. Well, maybe he made dinner for some worms.
So Hollywood hates conservatives etc. yet there have been AT LEAST 50 “great conservative movies” in the past 25 years.
I was gonna try this out on John tonight.

Former major wingnut Frank Schaeffer gives Obama some good advice:
The lack of cooperation you’re getting from the Republican Party will continue…if you think that the Republicans in Congress and the Senate are going to do more than their utmost to obstruct everything you are and what you stand for you’re dreaming.
As someone who appeared numerous times on the 700 Club with Pat Robertson, as someone for whom Jerry Falwell used to send his private jet to bring me to speak at his college, as an author who had James Dobson giveaway 150,000 copies of my one of my fundamentalist “books” allow me to explain something: the Republican Party is controlled by two ideological groups. First, is the Religious Right. Second, are the neoconservatives. Both groups share one thing in common: they are driven by fear and paranoia. Between them there is no Republican “center” for you to appeal to, just two versions of hate-filled extremes…
There’s only one thing that makes sense for you now. Mr. President, you need to forget a bipartisan approach and get on with the business of governing by winning each battle. You will never be able to work with the Republicans because they hate you. Believe me, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter are the norm not the exception. James Dobson and the rest are praying for you to fail…
The Democratic Party won for a reason: the Republicans failed and have taken us all down with them! You’re doing your presidency and America no favor by extending an open hand to the perpetually knotted fist of what has become the embittered lunatic fringe of our country. They would rather go down in flames than “compromise” their ideology.
..Your Republican opponents are not decent people but ideologues bent on destroying you. To quote the biblical adage sir, don’t cast your pearls before swine.

Former wingnut Frank tells it like it is, indeed.
I’m guessing Obama knew this all along and has just been giving the Republicans a chance not to be assholes. If they had just been not assholes, there would now be cooperation. However, they chose to be assholes – not a big surprise – and Obama can shrug and say “OK, we’ll play it like that, then.”
At least I hope it is so. It’s hard to imagine that Obama’s naive enough not to plan for the possibility that the Redoublechins are going to behave exactly like they have since 1994.
The possibility that the Redoublechins are going to behave exactly like they have since 1994
Why should they stop? Nothing stops them. They get their asses handed to them over & over & the reaction (over & over) is “We’ve moved away from the base, we must re-capture the base by moving farther & farther from the mainstream, & making the media cover us fairly like Fox does.”
The more fair, balanced coverage of the twits the better, I say!
xecky, I also thing Greenwald has a point in that without challenges and pressure from the left, he will naturally bend toward the right.
Notwithstanding the well-reasoned and fully documented arguments from our favorite trools, us DFHs need to keep up, indeed step UP, our efforts to help our politicians come to terms with non-crazy citizens….

Unfortunately they make up a part of the D party as well, judging from the planned “buying-crap-at-inflated-prices” rescue of the banking industry.
M. Bouffant Johnson is right!

I quite agree. I’m just saying that former wingnut Frank, and many others, seem to be claiming that Obama is too starry-eyed a bipartisan to notice what dicks the Republicans are. I believe – or at least really really hope – he isn’t.
…us DFHs need to keep up, indeed step UP, our efforts to help our politicians come to terms with non-crazy citizens….
Also agreed. I’ve gotten to be a bit of a regular on the phone to my Blue Dog congressman in the last few years, and stuff like that. I would never have believed it of myself a decade ago.

Those conservatards can’t claim the fantabulous movie “Three Kings.” First of all, it portrays Iraqis as human beings, and it shows how George Bush the Elder betrayed the trust of the Iraqi humans, even though it DID portray SAD-am as a monster, which anyone will admit he was, Plus: GEORGE CLOONEY. Eat it, fucktard conservatoid movie-grousing-lieheads! You can have George Clooney when you pry him out of my cold dead hands, which is how I would totally prefer to die anyway.
Grand Moff Texan: STFU. We’ve had enough troll-baiting out of you for one day I think.
Enough w/ the late great Duke:
the actor John Wayne’s 1943 application for a job with the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.), the predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency. The Duke was turned down.
John Wayne’s application for a commission with the OSS, 1943
I’ve seen a photo of said letter in print. Putting the lie to this obviously left-biased book, if that’s not redundant. (p. 209)
RB: re “Which Way You Goin’ Billy?”
I somehow totally block that one out when we play “Worst Song Evar” around here.
If Ms Atlas or the visiting trolls want to suggest that Soros is a Nazi Jew, or a Jewish Nazi, then why not come out and say it? I thought that was the whole accomplishment of “Liberal Fascism” — to dissolve the erstwhile meanings of words so they could be juggled into whatever arrangement fits the purpose of the day, no longer constrained by contradictions between the concepts they used to refer to.
Srsly, it can’t be long before Ms. Atlas is waving around a copy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as proof that Nazism is a Jewish ideology, or at least the ideology of Jews who don’t agree with her. And vice versa.
So where were his applications to the US Army, Navy and Marine Corps? It was the OSS or stay in Hollywood?
… seem to be claiming that Obama is too starry-eyed a bipartisan to notice what dicks the Republicans are.
I don’t think so. As someone pointed out somewhere shortly after the election, Obama managed to run rings around not only the RNC/Rethug party but the Clinton machine as well. Thus far he seems to have always been at least ten steps ahead of everyone else insofar as it’s possible to be ahead of anyone. I like to think we’ve got us a winner here, at long last.
Word Press would like to apologize formally & properly present the link it swallowed like a two-dollar link-swallower on a sidewalk in a slutty part of town.

Yes, he did, but I think people (not including me) still underestimate him. After so long with the Gingrich-type snarly-dog standard and the wimpy triangulator counterpart on the Democratic side, Obama doesn’t fit neatly into the political narrative.
I like to think we’ve got us a winner here, at long last.

Commie–yeah, and we talked constantly but rarely about Islam. Sometimes, but then I was pretty odious in my own post 9/11 period. I can’t even apologize enough for all of that. Not to anyone.
But yeah, talking mainly about being Moms, domestic things, the impending divorce that everyone knows about now. Lots of movie and music talk too; she likes all the old punk/alt stuff I was such a part of prior to my stint as a “security mom”. I used to wander around the web trying to defend her, which is actually how I found this site. I came here to defend Pamela and found that I agreed with almost everything else here. But then people from here started linking me to her posts and it was like seeing a completely different person. Lawnguylander was particularly good at turning me away from the dark side. I just couldn’t agree with or defend her blog posts. Plus, after that Brussels “Summit” she just flat out changed. Everyone came back talking “forced deportations” and possible genocide as an option. I watched people who went from human rights activists and many Democrats and old punks gradually become evangelical Republicans who started self-identifying as conservatives and taking outlandish notions of Islam instead of posting on terrorists and radicals.
Spencer tried to get us to be friends again but that barely lasted. Eventually Spencer also hated me….ROFL! All for insisting that most Muslims aren’t like those being posted about, that and telling him that he IS responsible for his comments sections as that’s what he does for a living. There’s just too much to tell really. Just write me at some point and I’ll explain. I’m too sleepy now and am just rambling…lol….theultimateinsult@gmail.com
Oh and Sphinx remarked today that Spencer is the anti-Muslim part of the web’s Goebbels. I figured that Pamela would be the Hess, nutty enough to take on some “mission” for her heroes. Well hell, she already flew to Israel during the 06 Hezbollah war. They’re all tunnel-visioned bloggers who read only shitty cherry-picked stories DAILY and see “saving Western Civilization” as their mission. At least I’m now called part of “the leftist-Islamic alliance”. It’s a much more fun movement to be a part of, I’m loving it! Just write me and I won’t have to ramble half-asleep over here (sorry everyone) or leave something at my blog. Sphinx is the co-blogger and his take on “Fitna” is just wonderful.

Agreed, Xecky…. It should be titled “Porkulus Snagulus”
Thanks, Lex. I’m really curious as to the specifics of your story. I was freaked out by 9/11 too. but it didn’t lead me down the same path as Pammy, Ron Silver et al, and I’d really like to dig into that some more. You’ll be hearing from me!
It should be titled “In my kitchen.”
But it looks like more work than I ever get around to.
(Putting something in the microwave wears me out. Also, I once worked with someone (married, even) who kept clothes in their oven.)

I strenuously recommend anyone who can get their hands on it to read a copy of Pork College by Crad Kilodney, the heartwarming scribe who also brought the world that emo magnum opus, Lightning Struck My Dick – the best bet would be a Canadian library (we have much more to offer than geese & caribou, you know) … he trolled the Canada Council into turning down stories by the likes of O.Henry & Chekov for an anthology, & used to hawk his literary wares on Toronto streetcorners in all weather while bearing a sandwich-board offering “BAD CANLIT FOR SALE HERE” … he was a giant among pygmies.
OT(?): Good news, America! Newspeek has hidden a pony & a BB-Gun for each & every one of you under your pillows! The rich aren’t malevolant parasites – they’re clowns! Now go back to sleep, America, go back to sleep.
But it looks like more work than I ever get around to.
yeah, absolutely. If Snag doesn’t send us samples, he is obviously a terrorist.
Post-9/11 freakouts are not uncommon.
Mine reached its zenith when the anthrax letters were mailed from my post office. We got no mail for a couple weeks and then it started to come in plastic bags with burnt edges from the irradiation.
Hell, I even watched Bill O’Reilly for like a while.
Fortunately about a year earlier my good friends had given me some Chomsky and the disinformation book Everything You Know Is Wrong and I began to compare notes.
Turns out Bill O’Reilly wasn’t quite as smart or correct as my other sources and his final answer always seemed to involve killing or imprisoning mass numbers of people, which I’ve always kind of disagreed with.
I don’t think anyone should apologize for their fear and anger after the 9/11 attacks. Those were fearful times, and no one was quite sure how much danger we were facing.
But fear, anger, oppression–the Dark Side are they.
Realizing that and trying to make it right are such positive steps that past failures should hold nothing but the lessons they taught you.
Sigmund Freud, steeped in fin de siècle Middle European pessimism, memorably compared the unconscious significance of money to that of excrement, an idea that found very few takers on this side of the Atlantic.
…speaking of excrement…
Hell yeah “progressives”. When the economy doesn’t (and it won’t) turn around by 2010 and 2012, you can’t say ‘well, the Republicans voted for it, too!’.
Because we didn’t!
Conservative Republicans, and Conservatism as a whole WILL NOT be held responsible for the consequences of this bill.

They will certainly be held responsible for the conditions creating the necessity of this bill.
can we hold them responsible for being dicks on web sites?
Getting back to the whole “Who withdrew the hundreds of billions of dollars?” thing for a minute, I think Pam’s missing the obvious answer – it was the fucking Chinese.
They did it, and it was amazingly simple – 1 billion Chinese people just lined up at ATM machines, and took turns withdrawing their money.
Do the math – 1,000,000,000 Chinese, each withdrawing their maximum $350 results in $350,000,000,000 pulled out of the system. After the withdrawal, each person goes to the back of the line for their next turn, which results in $700,000,000,000 being pulled out of the system.
Thank goodness things got shut down before it got that far, because the plan was for each Chinese person to make five withdrawals.
And that was just Stage I.
Conservative Republicans, and Conservatism as a whole WILL NOT be held responsible for anything, anytime, anywhere. Not even out own farts. We can kill you, we can eat you, we can rape your children and go to church on Sunday without a qualm. That’s the way we roll.
And that was just Stage I.
Shit, they could’ve accomplished the same thing sending out mass emails to Americans that started out “My dear friend, I’m pleased to find you well”.
“Who withdrew the hundreds of billions of dollars?”
Nigerian email scams??
“Dude, where’s my money?”
In the Gooper mind-set, they already have been in November, & that renders them absolved (*RESPAWN!*) & gung-ho to go back to destroying America even faster via hyper-Reaganomics like the 3%-GNP-minimum-MIC-budget-forever-&-ever plan. When all you have is an ICBM, everything looks like a target. It’s like they’re trying to channel Oliver North’s secret 1980s execution-porn.
But they also like puppies & go to church, so it’s okay.

Clustered Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat with Crushed Swiss Cheeses
Ingredients:
1 ounce falling Northern hairy-nosed wombat, bulkily herbed
6 bunches hidden Swiss cheese
1 blind-worm’s sting, lousily iced
3 cans calm slimy sculpin fin, genuinely dried
5 teaspoons cinnamon
3 portions baking soda
Pick over the ingredients and discard excess silicone. Cream the Northern hairy-nosed wombat with a large can opener. Use a food processor to combine the blind-worm’s sting with the Swiss cheese. Slather resulting goo over the Northern hairy-nosed wombat. Find some white rum and drink it. Herb the slimy sculpin fin, cinnamon, and the baking soda. Pound everything together ineloquently. Grill for 126 minutes. Serves 8.
Words to live by:
Pick over the ingredients and discard excess silicone.
Hell, discard all the silicone, I say.
Damn! I grilled it for 125 minutes and it tasted like shit. My bad. I’ll get another wombat tomorrow.

What the hell has happened to the comments section around here?
Relative shortage of posts (we’ve been spoiled) & absences of regulars. And who knows what else has been going on?
After the withdrawal, each person goes to the back of the line for their next turn, which results in $700,000,000,000 being pulled out of the system.
Of course, that line had to be four abreast, and that line would *never* end, and by the time they got to the front of the line, they’d already circled the globe 90 times and were already at the back of the line.
It’s true, I read it in Ripley’s. I chose to believe it, although there was an option to not do so.
Johnny OldFish, welcome back. It looks (hopeful) like the trolls are busy elsewhere tonight.

Churches won’t admit it, but every so often a whole congregation gets sucked in and loses the building fund or what have you, all because they can’t believe a minister would be pulling a con.
Semi being the operative term…

Swindle the bishop, swindle the neighborhood. And they don’t pick bishops for brains.
