As Inevitable As Flatulence After Pork and Beans
ABOVE: Bruce “Gay Patriot” Carroll
The incident on the Amsterdam-Detroit flight yesterday has, inevitably, elicited a torrent of nonsense from the usual suspects, all of whom apparently rushed to their computers before the Christmas roast had even been carved to share their almost entirely predictable, if completely ludicrous, takeaways on the subject.
Jim Don Bob Surber says it all in the title of his post “Flight 253 terrorist shows moving Gitmo to Illinois is a bad idea.” It also shows that the college bowl system is a bad idea. I mean, seriously, what the fuck? This would only make sense if the Supermax facility in question has a travel agency and could book flights for the terrorists inside, help them escape and then hand them bomb-making manuals as going-away gifts. This is yet another post by Jim Don Bob that definitively proves that second-hand meth smoke kills brain cells.
And what failed terrorist attack would be complete without our friends at NewsBlusters weighing in? In this case, Mark Finkelstein is all wound up because the New York Times didn’t say that the pseudo-bomber was a Muslim and instead simply called him a “Nigerian man.” One of the things that makes the pseudo-critics at NewsBlusters so amusing is their insistence that newspapers should just ditch the silly notion that they should print facts instead of assumptions. Well, not ourselves being a paper of record, we can oblige with dispensing with this silly notion about not publishing naked assumptions as facts and note that Finkelstein spent yesterday trying to figure out how to fellate a dead goat.
Oooh, look, the dumbest fucking ghey man on the face of the planet, Bruce Carroll aka The Gay Patriot, has been moved to actually post something at his own blog. (Bruce is usually content to let the second dumbest fucking ghey man on the face of the planet, Dan Blatt, handle all the posting duties). Naturally, Bruce blames the attack on Obama and points out that if Bush were still President this would never have happened.
Bringing up the, er, rear, we have the Ace of Play-Doh and Bacon in high dudgeon over imagined attempts by the White House to edit a WaPo story on the fizzled bomb. According to Ace, Obama’s only response to the incident was to call up the WaPo and force them to remove a phrase that said that Obama learned of the event a few hours after the plane landed. This was, of course, an opportunity for Ace to remind everyone that Obama is, you know, black:
TERRORIST THREAT LEVEL RAISED! All the way from “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” to “Hakuna Matada.”
So the question now is which of our favorite bloggers will be the first to speculate that the would-be terrorist is a distant relative of Obama’s? My money is on Hoft.
UPDATE: Thanks to the other Roger Ailes, I forgot to see what Atlas Juggs had to add to the discussion. She thinks that the Obama administration will charge the passenger who assisted in subduing the burning passenger with hate crimes. No doubt that will occur right after Obama gives the wannabe bomber the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Headline:
“Airline Terrorist a member of ACORN promoting cap-and-trade?”
Fox News, you’re welcome.
Juggs. Atlas Juggs.
When I first heard about this story, I tried to think of illogical ways the story could be interpreted by wingnuts. You know, the ways in which they could learn all the wrong lessons. I considered the possibility that they might defend profiling, even though this is a textbook study in why profiling could never work. I even considered the possibility that they’d suggest armed passengers would have prevented it, I dunno, a few seconds earlier than the unarmed passengers did.
But this? No, I simply didn’t consider this as a scenario. They may be reaching the point where they’re so stupid they’re brilliant.
I did read the “Ace Of Hate-Spades” posting. Apparently he’s worked up because there was a correction in the notification from three-to-three-and-a-half to two-to-two-and-a-half hours. The intervening time period, instead of reading “The Pet Goat”, was spent arresting and incarcerating the failed terrorist, and making sure other planes were notified. No wonder Ace is wounded, there was no fear mongering to feast upon.
This is a joke, right? I mean… I’ve been following this since about 200 pst and all that comes to mind – other than my this time of year experience in ought-one – is where do they recruit these bozos (respects)!? Come on… I just can’t shake this vision of it’s handlers cackling with glee as they followed the aircraft’s progress to target, knowing full well that if this yahoo managed to light the damned fuse – fuses, sparked by an open flame!? – it’s a dud that will at best, and apparently did, blow the poor fuckers balls off.
I don’t care how the reichwing retards spin it, it’s no damned ‘terrorist’ attack. False flag maybe, but no terrorist attack.
Hate crime, of course. So now we’re back to “Obama hates white people” as a mainstream argument. It’s like a great big ouroboros of stupid, traveling from one stupid argument to the next, then back to the first.
Also, forgive me for being a turrist-luver, but isn’t the fact that this guy failed at his attempt proof that the government doesn’t need to go all 1984 on us?
I bet it was Chief Editor Korir. He was coming to deliver the whitey tapes to NewsMax but Obama’s agents got to him on the plane and he had to burn them lest the Muslimofascist CIA got their hands on them.
Loneoak, you beat me to the punch. Well played, well played!
Now, which one will pull a Dana Perino, and claim that nothing like this occurred under Bush’s watch?
From Gay Patriot:
A world-wide war? And “ramming health care down our throats.” Oh my. And now the prez is focusing too much time on Afghanistan?
It’s not a matter of “moving goal posts.” They simply don’t exist.
Pissing oneself in fear (and considering it the peak of emotional existence), does however.
I love that they’re attacking him for an attack that failed. Did the bomber just not fail hard enough?
“Flight 253 terrorist shows moving Gitmo to Illinois is a bad idea.”
You know because inmates at Federal Super-Max facilities might blow ytheir balls off in an attempts to hijack a plane at the Super-max airport. By the way, only two people have ever escaped from a Federal Super-Max prisn: Lex Luthor and Magneto.
But of course, if there is, God forbid, a catastrophic terrorist attack, Obama will get a mulligan just like Bush did for 9/11. And his opponents will rally around him just like Bush’s did after 9/11.
Right?
I have nothing intelligent to add, but I will say that Pam Gellar does have pretty nice tits.
Naturally, Bruce blames the attack on Obama and points out that if Bush were still President this would never have happened.
Someone should point out to Bruce that it actually DID happen when Bush was president. And not that long after the FIRST attack that happened WHEN Bush was president:
Just as occurred before Christmas in 2001 when Richard C. Reid tried to ignite the plastic explosives hidden in his shoe on a trans-Atlantic flight,
Yep, Brucie. Bush kept us safe alright. 3000 + lost on 9/11 and another attempted attack in December of that same year.
GOATS ON FIRE!
Has Obama spent too much time focusing on Afghanistan, and not enough time on Yemen
Good goddamn. Obama escalates a war in a brown-people country, and their response is to tell us he should have sent those troops to Yemen instead?
Are these people even aware of the hoops they’re jumping through to ensure Obama never makes them happy? Or is it all subconscious?
Y’know, this is giving me a whole new outlook on that line “…and the children shall lead them.”
Somebody go bother JIm Don Bob for a while, I have been banned
increasing reports of Iran-sponsored al-Qaeda groups
Ignorant tool. The only thing al-Qaeda hates more than Western imperialism is Shiite heresy.
Apparently the GAY PATRIOT is a big gay sissy because he moderates all comments on his “blog”.
Any other wannabe stoolies out there? I think my comment was too obvious (which advocated banning all travel into US by citizens of Nigeria and other “countries that hate us”), even though I replaced “France” with “Pyrenees” at the end. Fuck.
Not just that: the WORST foreign attack on our nation’s soil since Pearl Harbor happened under Bush, who ignored the clearly-stated and quite detailed warnings and went on fucking vacation.
Even better, the FIRST major attack on the continental US in the modern era, happened under Bush.
I mean, it’s a cornocopia of epic fail on the part of the Bush administration, and by extension the Republican party, and by extension the conservative movement. They literally said “Anything But Clinton” when they took office and reaped the violent harvest sown of their deliberate negligence engaged in out of petty, small-minded spite. There is no excuse whatsoever for Bush asleep at the switch while 9/11 developed behind the scenes while all of the alarm lights in the country were blaring danger. Additionally he failed utterly to punish or even try the individuals responsible, and he NEVER made more than a token effort to capture the leader of the movement that purportedly fomented the attack on us. I only wish the dumbkopf press would have pointed this out JUST ONCE.
Fact is, George W. Bush was the worst thing to EVER happen to our national security. Conservatives everywhere should be hanging their heads in red-faced bitter shame at what that failtastic fucktard assclown did.
I guess most plane lavatories have smoke detectors? Otherwise the shoe-bombers and leg-bombers and toothpaste-bombers would light their… explosives in the loo? Did this pitiful dunce really think no one would notice, or do anything when he lit up? Nothing makes sense.
“Naturally, Bruce blames the attack on Obama and points out that if Bush were still President this would never have happened.”
Umm, at this point, Obama could personally parachute into the Afghanistan-Pakistan border area and blow off Osama Bin Laden’s head off in front of thirty TV crews, and it wouldn’t make a bit of difference. In the vapid intellectual hole that is conservative media, someone would be calling it a shameless photo op and reprimanding him, someone would be criticizing him for not having done it sooner, someone would say it’s disrespecting the troops not to let them pull the trigger, someone would say it’s a conspiracy and Osama’s not really dead and Barack just wants to lull us into a false sense of security so his Muslim friends can finish the job later. Some pseudo-Christian assholes might even turn anti-death penalty just for a chance to flip the finger at El Presidente.
Plus, I might add that one of Bin Laden’s demands after the attack was for the US to remove their military presence from Saudi soil.
Bush immediately complied. Meaning that he caved to terrorists like a limp, wet cardboard box.
What was most interesting to me is that Greenwald mentioned a couple of days ago, after our missile attack on Yemen, that there was almost certain to be some effort made at a reprisal in the near future originating from Yemen. There is only one conclusion to draw from this–Greenwald is somehow in on it. He has a lot of questions to answer.
This is surely a black mark against University College in London. What are they teaching over there if one of there former students can’t even cobble together some properly explosive trousers.
Nevertheless, passengers: Please place all bloomers, blue jeans, boxer shorts, breeches, briefs, britches, chaps, chinos, clam diggers, cords, corduroys, denims, drawers, dungarees, jeans, jodhpurs, knickers, overalls, pantaloons, panties, pedal pushers, shorts & slacks in the plastic bins provided.
There…their. I blame WP.
It’s all well and good to make fun of the retarditz of the Blogreich, but please, people, let’s try to understand why they’re so worked up about this, besides the would-be-terrorist’s tourist visa having been hand-signed by Obama himself.
Think about it: if you’re [here I try to act like I’m thinking of a random example] oh, I don’t know, Jonah Goldbuttock, do you really want to find out injecting something in your trousers can make them explode? Because that’s what he spends most of his waking hours doing.
There are many questions that Gestapo Janet has to answer for.
Apparently “Gestapo” is now shorthand for “not keen on torture or arbitrary imprisonment”. Bizarro world.
Shorter wingnutosphere: “If Obama called all Muslims stupid faggots then they would stop trying to kill white Christians.”
he NEVER made more than a token effort to capture the leader of the movement
Sorry to do this to you slippy but it’s even worse than that. He ordered the army to pull back – to NOT capture/kill OBL cause if they did then it would be much harder to sell invading Iraq.
Again, sorry about the blood pressure.
“Apparently “Gestapo” is now shorthand for “not keen on torture or arbitrary imprisonment”. Bizarro world.”
Read 1984, and look for the world “blackwhite,” the basic building block of doublethink which means the ability to say and believe that a thing is its opposite.
Then recall the number of people talking about “Liberal Fascism,” or the accusations of racism thrown at every minority member ever elected…
Gestapo Janet
Aw c’mon Brucie. Janet doesn’t look anything like Gestapo.
do you really want to find out injecting something in your trousers can make them explode?
The New Zealand connection. Connect the dots people!
The obvious response is to ban Mythbusters for promoting the trouser-detonation story and generally providing information to the terrorists.
Apparently “Gestapo” is now shorthand for “not keen on torture or arbitrary imprisonment.
Janet Napolitano’s very existence: eleventy gazillion times worse than thumbscrews.
/wingnut
henry lewis – Long ago there was a prediction (made here I think) that all airline passengers would eventually be forced to fly naked and handcuffed to their seats. Looks like we are right on schedule.
Is she too consumed on cracking down on “right-wing extremists” that she dropped the ball on a worldwide war declared on this nation?
Janet Napolitano is responsible for airport security in Amsterdam? Who knew?
From Don-Bob’s column, I see that it’s taken the wingnuts 9 years to acknowledge that reading “My Pet Goat” during a terrorist attack is actually not the right thing for a Preznit to do.
one of the commenters at Atlas Sluts says:
Maybe Hussein’s AG, Eric “the Red” Holder, can bring up Jasper on Hate Crime charges.
Jasper could then be tried in a Detroit federal court, where the jury will be ENTIRELY composed of muslims from nearby Dearborn, Michigan.
nothing that an american muslim loves more than being confused for an extremist anti-American, ass-in-head hymie.
I forgot to see what Atlas Juggs had to add to the discussion. She thinks ….
Thinks? Pammie wouldn’t recognize an actual rational thought if it bit her on the ass.
trying to ram healthcare reform down our throats
Why am I not surprised that the Gay “Patriot” wrote that?
“the New York Times didn’t say that the pseudo-bomber was a Muslim and instead simply called him a “Nigerian man.”
Just under half (1/2) of Nigeria is Christian, by the way.”

(sorry for weak code skillzzz)

Around 48% [/url]of Nigerian is Christian, by the way.
I agree, she does have nice tits. I wouldn’t poke her with my ex-wife’s dead from a methamphetamine overdose husband’s dick, but she’s got nice tits.
[and if this turns into a tv gig for her I want a kick-back]
In times of uncertainty, we all need to be able to read something that can make us feel better.
“Nice tits. They make those in a ladies’ style?”
I’ll try to post this nugget a 3rd time:
[quote]
…wound up because the New York Times didn’t say that the pseudo-bomber was a Muslim and instead simply called him a “Nigerian man.”[/quote]
48% of Nigeria is Christian–I think the Times can be forgiven for not automatically calling the dude an Islamoterrorjihadwad.
GayPat is right about one thing: this would never have happened under the Bush Administration.
Back then, if a terrorist got on a plane, he’d have flown it into the Pentagon or the World Trade Center. Obviously, the reason terrorists haven’t scored any big hits under the Obama administration is because they don’t want one of their own to look bad, right?
I guess I shouldn ‘t be surprised that none of these far-right turds has noticed the obvious: Barack Obama has managed to make it through the first year of his administration without the Pentagon being attacked or any major iconic structure getting destroyed along with three thousand Americans. This is something his predecessor cannot say.
Ummm….again, I have to point out the obvious, which is, how can it be considered a failure on the part of Obama, the Obama administration, Homeland Security, or existing domestic screening procedures and regulations that a guy who got on a plane in another country tried to do something bad?
I’m sure this fine point has eluded the shrieking harpies on the right, but it is…errr…central to my point. Did they hear Obama make a promise during the campaign that if he were elected, no one anywhere in the world would ever again attempt to commit an act of terrorism? Or perhaps they want America to be the policeman of the world’s airports? I mean, aside from the reflexive rush to go with what has worked for them in the past and talk up the FEAR FEAR FEAR, what, exactly, do they want or think Obama or any US president could do to prevent some asshat from getting on a plane in another country with a bomb or crotch rocket? I really wanna know.
Apparently “Gestapo” is now shorthand for “not keen on torture or arbitrary imprisonment”. Bizarro world.
More code for “has not forgotten Timothy McVeigh,” & “has mentioned that there are violent extremists to the right of Reagan & possibly Attila Teh Hun, even.”
It’s cute watching this tired crew pound and pound and pound on their dicks to absolutely no effect.
Sorry, wingnuts. Cheney isn’t coming back. Nobody listens to Bill Kristol anymore. You’ll never get a stiffy again.
The idea that the bureaucrats of the Homeland Security Theater Dep’t. somehow let their guard down because Obama hasn’t (yet) bombed any defenseless countries back to the 10th century, has been “dithering” or whatever the fuck displeases reactionaries is not much of an idea.
Boxing Day: Nothing. Not a damn thing. Not even a lump of coal in the laundry hamper.
But again. Also. Central to my point, Homeland Security doesn’t do passenger screening in foreign airports. I think this comment from over at Balloon Juice wins both that and this thread:
“The really surprising part was when the woman said, “Yo, Pope, I’m a let you finish, but I just wanted to say that the Archbishop of Canterbury was the best Christian primate of the year.”
This guy is going to take Christian Primate of the Decade.
Uh, I hardly think a four-armed monkey god wearing little girl mary janes is going to win Christian Primate of the Decade.
Funny thing about that….a while back he deleted some Sadlynaught posts on his blog, then came over here to deny it. Watching him paint himself in a corner and then flee was the most amusing thing in at least that hour.
For what she’d have had to pay a plastic surgeon on Lawn Guyland, they’d better be nice.
OT, but they just mentioned during this afternoon’s corporate-sponsored football game that our buddy Coach Meyer is leaving Florida. Immediately. As in, he may not even coach them for the Sugar Bowl.
Ok, what did he do? Did I miss something?? Did they catch him doing something inappropriate in a men’s room or something?
The fact is, the liberal media is covering up for Obama and this terrorist, in fact they have been since all those dry runs where muslims in traditional garb in large groups tested the resolve of patriots by calling them infidel dogs. All with the copperation of AirTran, and they tried to cover it up! While, now a real threat to US lives is dismissed by liberals as a crotch rocket when it could have taken down an airplane and much of Detroit.
I guess this guy didn’t get the message that the Iraq invasion was supposed to stop this sort of thing.
He apparently wasn’t suitably shocked or awed.
And–although not to tip my hand w/ regard to my own terrorist techniques–what kind of eedjit tries to destroy a plane *while it’s landing*? Wouldn’t doing damage to it in mid-air be more effective?
Sign me, as far as Homeland Security is concerned,
Not Mr. Wonderful
“All with the copperation of AirTran…”
From fluoridation to oxidation. Damn, they’re tricky.
Meyer cites health reasons. He’s supposed to coach in the Sugar Bowl.
I have a vivid imagination. I imagine this clown flying all the way from Nigeria to Amsterdam, whiling away his stop in Schipol airport checking out the perfumes, whiskey and designer luggage, sitting in his window seat for 9 hours on the way to Detroit, and contemplating his inevitable demise and exactly how and when he is going to do it, and then he gets engrossed in the movie and suddenly OMG they are appoaching Detroit and the earphones and trash are being collected, and if he doesn’t do it NOW it will not be done at all, and then the damn thing fizzles in his lap and he is left with third degree burns in places where he doesn’t want the nurses to see, and he is just hoping that his immensely rich daddy doesn’t realize it was him, but maybe he will cough up the money for a great lawyer but in the end all his hopes of martydom are dashed…
EPIC FAIL.
MARTYDOM. Wasn’t there a movie about some guy named Marty?
Ok, well, health reasons aren’t funny. I hold out hope for his GOOD health coupled with embarrassing scandal.
This “dry run” meme is interesting. So, supposedly Muslim extremists are wearing “traditional garb” and flying on airplanes to practice the flying on an airplane part? In traditional garb?
I also chuckle at Gary’s mysterious reference to “testing the resolve of patriots”. Because NO ONE is more of a whiny-ass titty baby than the people Gary considers “patriots”.
SHUT UP, INFIDEL DOG!
Welcome, citizens, to the Martydom!
The fact is, it is vigilant patriotic minutemen like the Tea baggers who are guarding the Republic from Tyranny, thoise who would remove “Under God” from our sacred pledge and make socialism law.
Actually, Jude already made me. With the nanny.
(Tap tap)
This thing on?
The fact is, it is vigilant patriotic minutemen like the Tea baggers who are guarding the Republic from those who would remove their balls from our mouth.
Under the radar, Obama pushes for Patriot Act renewal
http://joshfulton.blogspot.com/2009/12/under-radar-obama-pushes-for-patriot.html
Teabaggers are such tough guys, they stay home and piss their pants at airports rather than go fight Ayrabs with those pussies in the military.
Islamic extremists doing “dry runs” where they wear funny clothes, go to the bathroom, talk loudly and block the aisles?
OH MY GOD, EVERYONE ON THE PLANE IS AN EXTREMIST!! Also.
I had the dry runs once. Very painful.
I bet he’s really, really glad he didn’t yell “Allah, akbar!” or “Die, you infidel dogs!” before setting his crotch on fire.
The reason teabaggers are so terrified in particular of Richard Reed and this (no pun intended) numbnuts is because they were both comically stupid, and yet adjusted for teabagger intelligence, comical stupidity= brilliant strategery.

Mebbe. Or is because that these people (as incompetent as they are in actually exploding things) have the courage of their convictions? I would think such a thing would cause the bed-wetters to, um, wet their beds.

“Die, you infidel dogs!” before setting his crotch on fire.
It won’t so funny when YOU’RE the one with the pubic lice.
@Looch: fair point. Because what is a teabagger but a Timothy McVeigh who cares more for his flat-screen and porn than for his values?
We meant to do that! “Infidel dogs” are what we call our sperm!
Makes me wonder if there are some scams targeting rich kids visiting Yemen looking for an Al Queda connection—some guys selling self-immolating bombs the way some people sold Oregano as marijuana.
This “dry run” meme is interesting. So, supposedly Muslim extremists are wearing “traditional garb” and flying on airplanes to practice the flying on an airplane part? In traditional garb?
wiley, just in case you missed the story a few weeks ago, this refers to the saga of Airtrans flight 297. Aftermath of the story here: http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/2009/12/05/airtran-flight-297-emailer-wasnt-even-on-the-plane.htm
The fact is, you can totes see a munchkin hanging himself in The Wizard of Oz, which Obama and the liberals do not want you to know.

So the “top AQ bombmaker in Yemen” is sewing inflammable material into peoples’ crotches. I wonder what effect this has on Ed’s underwear?
Yikes, he linked to Mistress Shitmoat. I’m going in, send someone to look for me if I’m not back soon!
Oddly, Amy’s more worried about you-know-who than about national security:
Worried as she is about herself, she got off a real good one about that ol’ “religion of peace.” That’s a knee-slapper, that’un. Like the comments:
instead of drones pounding laptops and blackberries constantly in the airport waiting area, i anticipate serpentine conga lines, rhumbas with overpriced water bottles, and yes, the merengue past the sorry chain restuarants. this will certainly lower the stress levels of passengers.
The fact is that Obama showed that he doesn’t care about terrorism. He was too busy vacationing on our dime to make a statement on the air.
Abdulmutallab was on a terrorist list, and allowed to fly. Why ANYBODY on the terror watch list isn’t on the no-fly list is a mystery to me.
The Ft Hood terrorist was connected to radical clerics.
Obama needs to realize that HCR won’t do much if terrorists keep attacking this nation. Clinton ignored the impact of Islamic terrorist attacks like WTC 93, OKC 95, TWA 96, ATL 96, Kenya/Tanzania 98, and USS Cole 00. And look what happened in 2001?
There is a glaring hole in security in the third world. No direct flights from the 3rd world to the US. No flights from the 3rd world to Europe to the US without reboarding.
Barring people from getting up in the last hour of a flight isn’t going to do anything.
Questioning why non-citizens are flying to the US on a one-way ticket with no good reason is a start.
Focusing on demographics likely to unleash terror is the way to get things done. Not focusing on grandmas and others to appear to be impartial.
Not focusing on Grandma is a dangerous mistake.
We should always keep our eye on Grandma.
Always.
We should always keep our eye on Grandma.
Mine’ll shoot you if she feels you need shootin’, and I ain’t even kidding. She says she’s 87 and put up with enough shit in her life, so watch out.
Clinton ignored the impact of Islamic terrorist attacks like WTC 93, OKC 95, TWA 96, ATL 96, Kenya/Tanzania 98, and USS Cole 00.
FAIL.
Hey Gary, you said “vacationing”, which means I get to bring up that Real Murrikan Predzint George W. Bush spent 1/3 of his term in office on vacation. That’s one out of every three days, Gary, in case you can’t understand the new math.
Oh, and:
ATL 96
DOUBLE FAIL. Rudolph was a world-hating libertard redneck just like you, Gary. You should be praising him for his victory against the evils of multiculturalism.
there’s a difference between being in Texas and being in Hawaii.
Wonder how much it costs to fly the AF1 to Hawaii and back, probably contributes more to Global Warming than most things blamed for Global Warming (granted, it’s 10 degrees and snowy here, Global Warming my ass)
The fact is that Obama wasn’t even informed of this incident for 2 hours. Why?
The OKC bombing was partly conducted by Islamic terrorists. The John Doe (who disappeared) was a Muslim. Terry Nichols had ties to the Philippines. But Clinton refused to do any investigation of those links.
And there was no investigation of Islamic ties to the Rudolph bombings.
More proof that Ernest Borgnine is behind all that whacky terrorism zaniness.
Gary, you’re no fun anymore.
Also, Marty’s romantic interest is repeatedly called a “dog” in the film. Coincidence, infidel dogs?
(granted, it’s 10 degrees and snowy here, Global Warming my ass)
Climate change science never claimed it wouldn’t be cold wherever the fuck you are due to global warming. The earth today is 0.74 degrees centigrade warmer on average due to the greenhouse effect than at the start of industrialization.
Add 0.74 to “cold and snowy” and I bet you still get “cold and snowy.”
So seeing as you didn’t have the least clue what it was you were “skeptical” about, maybe you should stop embarrassing yourself by disclosing such staggering ignorance about important public policy topics.
Wait, wait, wait. The goal-posts are flying all over the place.
Flying AF1 to Hawaii twice a year is the greatest cause of global warning…
But, global warming is actually a hoax because it’s winter,
But, Texas is closer to DC, so it doesn’t matter that Bush had already been on vacation for twelve weeks by this time
But, white guys didn’t commit the deadliest terror attack on American Soil,
But, even though they did it was Muslims,
But, it was actually Clinton’s fault.
Slow down, my head is spinning!
In related news, the depth of insightful coverage is still growing:
http://ifglobalwarmingisrealthenwhyisitcold.blogspot.com/
In some dimensions of unreality, goalposts have wings and are adorned with sparkly starbursts.
Everybody knows that Texas is a place full of Real Americans doing Real American Things in a very Real manner, while Hawaii is an exotic irrelevant place where probably nobody important was ever born or grew up.
The Flight 800 crash was a terrorist attack? Did secret Muslims infiltrate Boeing and design a fuel leak into the 747’s central tank? If so, that’s forethought and dedication.
It is well known that Clinton was behind the Flight 800 crash. It was a missile test gone bad, because Clinton had defunded the military.
Did secret Muslims infiltrate Boeing and design a fuel leak into the 747’s central tank?
Uh-oh: that sets off alarm bells. That new Boeing craft that just passed its first test flight– you know, the one largely constructed from high-tech plastic composites?
Maybe it’s secretly made of PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES! ZOMG!
At least they’re not going to put the Gitmo Gang in Texas prisons. Then we’d really be fucked!
It’s not a matter of “moving goal posts.” They simply don’t exist.

They’d be soiling their pants left an right, guards and inmates both. Just thinking about the dangerous islamofascist tettorists
The obvious response is to ban Mythbusters for promoting the trouser-detonation story and generally providing information to the terrorists.

the fact is, i know how to fellate a dead goat. but you have to unwrap the present first.
Conservative national security policy, Clinton edition:
1) Waste your time (and the taxpayers’ dollars) as an elected official on some bullshit about the President getting a blowjob.
2) When real life intervenes– in the form of an increased international terrorist threat– and said President tries to do something about it, you work overtime to gut his proposals and claim that the “terrorist threat” (scarequotes yours) is a phoney issue designed to distract people from your crucial blowjob investigation.
3) When your guy takes the Big Chair, you make it your mission to shut up and shove out everyone left in the government who still the threat of terrorism seriously. “System flashing red”? Man, what a drama queen.
4) When the when the wholly predictable result of your willful partisan blindness happens and thousands of people die, you rush to the cameras and scream “IT’S ALL CLINTON’S FAULT!!!”
Also, When GWB took office, RC Clarke said they should set up a counter terrorism task force. In May 2000, Cheney said he would chair said task force. By September The Eleventh, the task force had never met. CHENEY PERSONALLY BUNGLED the preparations for the counter terrorism task force, which we have all read about dozens of times in the liberal media, also.
WTC 93
Happened what, 37 days after Clinton was sworn in? The same people who blame Clinton for WTC 93 give Bush Jr. a pass for WTC 01 because hey, the man had only been in office for such a short time. Whatevs; taking Gary seriously is like playing chess with an incontinent chihuahua.
You know, I bet if they keep fapping at that speed, they’ll catch their pants on fire.
And such as.

I confess, I had similar thoughts when I saw the headlines about “Pope Bowled”.
Lobbey:
It’s already been done. To Adam and Kari, anyway. It wasn’t such a big deal for Adam, but Kari was restrained and freaked out substantially.
Question: If “this wouldn’t have happened when Bush was President” does that mean that every post-9/11 terror alert was a fraud in the minds of wingnuts?

I was going to say that exact thing but thought it to be an insult to Bill Watterson and Calvin and Hobbes themselves. But, yes. The only rule is there are no rules.
The number of viable niche porn sites that come up in these comment threads is astounding.
Gellar’s jugs are fake.
“The OKC bombing was partly conducted by Islamic terrorists. The John Doe (who disappeared) was a Muslim. Terry Nichols had ties to the Philippines. But Clinton refused to do any investigation of those links.”
Because Clinton is a secret Muslim, too. Also the OKC bombing took place on Hitler’s birthday, one of Islam’s holiest days. It’s all falling into place. Also.
