Stop the new START
- If the U.S. has only 1550 strategic nuclear weapons, that won’t be enough to blow up
Russiathe Soviet Union and to stopPutinKhruschev from threatening to use his nukes on us unless we agree to surrender and become a communist satellite nation underRussianSoviet domination. I said that to President Reagan last Monday when I had lunch with him at the White House but my wife tells me that I’m confused, that Reagan has been dead for years and that we now have a Negro President, which I don’t believe for a second.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
Wow – I really don’t want to get out of the boat.
teh senile crazy has me THIS CLOSE to going to look for mangoes….
Martin Mull really needs to take better care of himself.
Staying in the boat. If someone wants to bring back mangoes, that’s awesome, but really, I can just drink this vodka straight.
It begins: In the final season of the TV show “24,” …
Jesus, the old “Webster’s defines such-and-such as” is a better gambit than that.
Ugh. Why did your name-snark have to remind me Abraham Jackoff is about to get out? Forgive me my O/Tness, but there’s a guy who doesn’t deserve to spend another second without a lifer’s dick in him.
Always. Trust. The. Shorter.™
Looking at that photo, I can tell you precisely where this column comes from in two words:
teh senile crazy has me THIS CLOSE to going to look for man
goes….FIXED for accuracy
I’m not sure I trust the “Negro President” part of The Shorter, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to find out.
So I tried to read the thing. He bases his argument on one by “the New START Working Group in a recent paper for the Heritage Foundation.” According to his bio, he is “president of the Heritage Foundation.” According to the Heritage Foundation, the paper is not by any individual but by the Working Group, whose membership is not obviously disclosed. At this point — well, actually long before but I’m moderately persistent — I got bored. Is he quoting himself, anonymously? Or nicking ideas from the help?
Flabby mangoes
I’m not sure I trust the “Negro President” part of The Shorter, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to find out.
I hate you.
I got out of the boat.
He did. Well, sort of. He blamed the Obama administration for rolling back the bases that the Bushies had “negotiated”.
I hate you.
I got out of the boat.
Well, a) I was just trying to make a joke that he’s even too racist to use the term “negro,” and b) don’t blame me if you can’t even take your own advice.
After copping 1550 nuclear warheads, it’s the last 200 that really are gonna get the US over the line.
In the final season of the TV show “24,” an idealistic president finds herself sacrificing her principles one by one in an attempt to preserve a “peace process.” She eventually manages to hammer out a flawed treaty, but can’t bring herself to sign it. In the real world, the Obama administration’s overly idealistic pursuit of a reduction in American and Russian stockpiles of nuclear arms has led it to actually sign a woefully flawed treaty. The goal may be worthy. The pact is not.
WHAT THE HELL IS IT with these people referencing television every time they’re trying to make a point about the real world?
And also, I enjoyed the part where he pointed out that the treaty had holes you could shoot a ballistic missile through, but didn’t actually point out what those holes were.
WHAT THE HELL IS IT with these people referencing television every time they’re trying to make a point about the real world?
They’re stupid, delusional, and sheltered, and the only contact they’ve had with reality is through TV?

I lawled. Yes I did.
America exists for one reason: Russia must not be allowed to have a bigger penis. You would think that Obama would be of value there, and he does start off with certain *ahem* advantages. But like others of his type, he is stupid and naive and will trade his assets for beads or something. If only we had Commander Codpiece in charge again. What a dong.

You are assuming they can tell the difference.
Nukes are passé. The next generation of strategic weapons is Palin’s “Going Rogue”. Drop a couple million of those on the damned reds, and then see what happens to their political processes. BWaAHAHhaHAhA!
I has a sad. The link to “we are aware of all internet traditions” no longer points right.
Can fix pls? Must keep future internet generations aware of our traditions. At least up until the 2012 alien/Palin armageddo–ragnarokalypse.
Nukes are passé.
I concur. We have a strategic advantage with DKWs mom. Russia currently has a slut-gap we should exploit.
It seems that Sadly! No is the new “Left”. Click on the link and then click the word “left” in the following sentence and see where it takes you.

http://tigerhawk.blogspot.com/2010/06/sarah-palins-breasts.html
Actually, 1550 nuclear weapons probably wouldn’t be enough to finish off Russia in a nuclear exchange, particularly since most of our nuclear weapons are in ICBMs, a large chunk of which will either be destroyed in a first strike or fail to reach the target.

Who’d be around to give a flying fuck, Brett? Even the fucking tiny island of Vanuatu would be cremated.
Furthermore, those people are incredibly dumb.
“when you ask them why they hate her, they really dont have an answer. She is a complete and utter mystery to the people on the left but the mere mention of her existence sends them into a tizzy.”
I can quite cogently articulate why I hate her ass, but you people seem to be literally deaf to anything cogent and/or articulate.
“Sarah Palin’s breasts are suddenly the objects of great interest on the left, not because of their obvious appeal, but as an opportunity to accuse her of having enhanced them with implants.”
Sicko librulz and their perverted obsession with Sarah Palin’s breasts. And not for the good patriotic American reason of wantin’ to squeeze em together until they just sort of pop out of their top and then dry hump them for a few minutes. So sexist, those creepy libz.

Yea! Much better they should be obsessed with her winking and flirting, like Rich Lowry! And what is the right wing obsessions with our obsession about her breastses????

Because THEN they can be just as “obsessed” about her breasts, if not even more than us, but not look like frivolous pervs because they’re discussing our obsession, not theirs.

When will Sarah Palin deny she’s had breast implants? It seems to me that, if they’re natural, all it would take is a firm denial to clear the entire matter up.
A firm, ripe denial. Photographic evidence would help.
Does Sarah Palin have new boobs?
No, same old fans as always.
Is there a problem detectable in simply not being Bush?

Russia currently has a slut-gap we should exploit.
Aren’t we exploiting DKW’s mom already?
The rise of al Qaeda the existential threat to America from knife-armed international terrorists with the skill to improvise explosive devices from common chemicals clearly shows America’s need for a massive nuclear deterrent and a ballistic missile shield.
Wait. I think I got lost somewhere in the middle.

I can’t believe I’m devoting brain space to this, but if you look at the photo at this link, I think it’s pretty apparent that they’re probably the same size, just not as under wraps as they usually are, and she probably has a very good bra on. It’s possible she got a lift, though.

ROFL. 20 nukes would be enough to destroy most any country, in terms of government control, food, refugees, medical needs, energy, industry… what does he mean by “finish off”? Convert the entire land mass to glowing glass?
100 nukes would probably drop us into a nuclear winter from the smoke and dust. And make much of the world unable to have live births.

the Obama administration scrapped plans to build missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic, sites that the Bush administration had negotiated long and hard to establish.
He didn’t seem to be working to hard at being a belligerent fucking asshole. It sure looked to me like it came naturally, given his whole family background and whatnot. Those missile defense sites were nothing more than Cold War nostalgia and a gimme contract for his defense industry buddies. It is pretty silly to still be looking at Russia as if it is still a DEFCON-worthy nuclear threat.

IIRC, in the second Cheney administration after Bush had peered into Putin’s soul, those bases were no longer rationalised as defenses against missiles from Russia, but from Iran. Did Feulner not get that memo?

Ooh, this Cry Wolf stuff is gonna be fun.
SUBSTANCE GOT IN TROUBLE!!!
About time, I say.
Via Wikipedia, the original Nuclear Winter study looked at the results of 50 Hiroshima-sized (~15 KT) nukes being used. Yeah, fifty — as in “two orders of magnitude less than the size of our arsenal alone.” And as it turns out, research conducted on the atmosphere and airborne particulates since then indicates that the original scenario was too optomistic and even a regional exchange between, say, Pakistan and India would be enough to trigger nuclear winter.
So, yeah; 1,500 nukes is more than enough to make the planet look like “The Road.”

A “tested, expanding” missile defense system? Has every hawkish Republican in the country forgotten that since the SDI era, there hasn’t been a single “successful” missile defense test that hasn’t been rigged?
Oh, wait, they know. They’re just lying about it. Just like Edward Fucking Teller did when he got Reagan to scrap Reykjavik.
Oh, and regarding Sarah Palin’s tits: there’s nothing wrong with fake tits unless they’re a) ugly or b) being lied about. (Denise Milani, I’m looking at you on b.)

Actually, 1550 nuclear weapons probably wouldn’t be enough to finish off Russia in a nuclear exchange, particularly since most of our nuclear weapons are in ICBMs, a large chunk of which will either be destroyed in a first strike or fail to reach the target.
Brett, I was a B-52 Aircraft Commander back in the late days of the Cold War.
The missions I sat alert for had us putting the 3rd or 4th warhead on any given target.
We would have just been digging the craters a bit deeper at that point.
I doubt there’s anything you could do with 3000 warheads that you couldn’t do with 1500.
Those missile defense sites were nothing more than Cold War nostalgia and a gimme contract for his defense industry buddies
In fairness, it was also important to some of our East European allies (especially the Poles) to have them there, as a defense, a deterrent, but also a concrete sign of America’s commitment to their defense. They still remember what it’s like being under the Russian boot and I don’t blame them for wanting all the commitment they can get, especially after that Georgia stunt two years ago.
(Whether that actually had anything to do with Bush’s decision to place missile defense systems there is something else again. His record of caring about his allies’ concerns is… not good).
I doubt there’s anything you could do with 3000 warheads that you couldn’t do with 1500.

Of course.
The explanation the hawks would give you, I believe, is that you need the overkill in order to guarantee that enough warheads will get through any defenses the Russians (or whoever) might have.
The main issue I have with this explanation is that at this point, we’re far past the “reasonable” point of overkill. Going hunting with extra bullets is one thing, but going hunting with a Tommy gun?
(Also, how effective are Russian and Chinese missile defense systems in the first place? Last time I checked, we were years ahead of them, and our systems are hardly enough to stop a full nuclear attack anyway).
This is the sort of ROFLMAO “wisdom” that makes me love this place so damn much:
SLCMs, SLBMs & suitcase nukes – I think you need to Google them.
This is a great point – for, oh, say, 1978. Did the US rescind “launch-on-warning” when I wasn’t looking? Besides, set off 20 MT worth of airbursts & anyone left alive a month later is going to be exploring the exciting world of Rat Cuisine anyway, so this is entire argument about as cogent as debating how many
angelsteased panthers can dance on the head of a pin.VALUE = 1000 INTERNETS

It may shock him to know that people, meaning, nuclear strategists who are paid to think like this for a living, have actually thought about this kind of thing before. That’s why they invented missile submarines, a nuclear deterrent that’s almost impossible to destroy in a first strike. (Just the stuff contained in one missile sub would be enough to ruin a country, even one the size of Russia, at least as bad as the world wars did).
It’s also why we have these things called radars that serve to detect incoming missiles in the event of a “first strike.” They’re all over the country, but look up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEW sometime.
DEW is old school. Look up DSP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Support_Program
We can detect missiles at launch.

Glenn Beck erotica. Read at your own risk. gocart waives all liability for future brain damage or permenent erectile dysfunction.
“He bent to her, closed his eyes, and her lips touched his, gently, and again more urgently as he responded. He felt her arms around him, her body yearning against his in the embrace, a knot like hunger inside, heart quickening, cool hands at his back under the warmth of his jacket, searching, pressing him closer still. With everything to see and hear around them there at the very crossroads of the world, soaring billboards, scrolling news crawlers, bright digital Jumbotrons that lined the tall buildings and blotted out the whole evening sky, it all disappeared to its rightful insignificance, flat as a postcard. That place was left outside their small circle, and if asked right then he might have stayed there within it forever. But he felt her smile against his lips as they were brought back to where they stood by the brusque voice of a passing man, who advised in his native Brooklynese that maybe they should go and get a room.”

As for the apparent swellage of Palin’s girly-pecs, y’all know how much wingnut booty she’s reaped over the last year or two, right? All that cash has to be stored somewhere.
Of course, the bills-in-the-bra one is undoubtedly stale as well. Too bad I have to spend at least a few hours a day doing something besides keeping abreast of which low-hanging mangoes have already been et…
Why is something always being rammed down Glenn Beck’s throat?

“we don’t want the World Cup, we don’t like the World Cup, we don’t like soccer, we want nothing to do with it. […] I hate it so much, probably because the rest of the world likes it so much, and they riot over it, and they continually try to jam it down our throat.” Glenn Beck

Why is Rushbo on (perhaps) his fourth wife?
Something does compute, but it’s not what FAUX and Clear Channel want to tell you.

You can only taunt the catamount so many times before it flounces.
“Why is Rushbo on (perhaps) his fourth wife?’
I disagree. His fourth wife is at Saks Fifth Avenue, Rush is on the pool boy.
Rush is on the pool boy.
Well, duh. That’s typically where the catamount flounces after creating a distraction.
Boy, it’s a good thing I don’t typically linger here when the ripostes are in warp drive: I’d never get anything useful accomplished.
Also, typically redundant. Typical.
I’d love to know y’all better, but this REM activity at inappropriate hours must stop first.

I just like watching people argue over soccer vs. American football. Let’s see — endurance and on-the-fly tactics vs. explosive, bone-crushing play and grand strategy.
Fuck the flamewars. I’m calling it a wash.
But then, complaining about having the World Cup shoved down your throat? What epic fucknuggetry. It’s called “fair and balanced” — conservatives wouldn’t understand.
(Although rugby — that’s just insanity. You drink before the game to get sufficiently wasted to engage in a 30-person wrestling match, then you drink after the game to kill the pain. Pads? Forget it. They’d get ripped off in the scrum.)
Not that I know anything about soccer, but isn’t there some simple rule change that would enable scores in the double digits in order to appease the American attention span?
Abolishing offsides, perhaps? BOOYAH: AMERICAN soccer!
Open carry for the players would make it popular in the Heartland.
(trivia) In sumo, the top 2 referees (gyoji) go into the ring armed with short swords. No record of actual use.
Open carry would be great if the players had to use their toes to pull the trigger. Swords are un-American since they don’t involve explosions.

Been done, it’s called Australian Football
But then, complaining about having the World Cup shoved down your throat?
He complains because soccer is just the football of liberal fascism.
BTW, to ye who care, I hope your sides make a good showing at the World Cup!
Those bases were pretty much the best way anyone could think of to piss off Russia: http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/international/us-and-poland-sign-death-to-poland-agreement-200808211190/ pretty much covers it.

Also, awarding six points for a goal helps. That’s how the AFL teams score around a hundred points a game. Now I’m not a big soccer fan, but when you have the oppotunity to see the best in the world it’s usually worth alook.
don’t tease the panther
I’ve also learned that it’s not good to tease the cougar. Here at Sadly, No! it is perfectly ok to tease the PUMA.
who advised in his native Brooklynese that maybe they should go and get a room
As someone currently sitting in a chair in King’s County, let me say no. “Native Brooklynese” would be closer to “Get the fuck out of my face.”
Completely off topic but it appears the McMegan is getting married.
Really.

yeah, he’s another libertarian”. Boy, THAT’s going to be a marriage where each partner puts the other first in their lives, isn’t it.
PJTV also complained about the world cup (http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/what-does-the-rest-of-the-world-know-about-soccer-that-americans-dont/) with people in the comments section explaining passionately why Our Sports are better than Their Sports. For once, the author got it right when he speculated that “It may be as simple as our desire to consciously separate ourselves from Europe and the rest of the world — an American exceptionalism that affects even the games we play.”
Which is fine, but then you kinda wonder why they’re all making such a big deal out of it. Europeans and South Americans don’t lie awake at night thinking about how much football and baseball suck, and they don’t particularly care how Americans feel about soccer either. It’s just a game to them, unlike the PJTV crowd which feels it’s a Very Serious Last Stand Against World Government, Marxism And Eurabia.
Beck, PJTV & co. have turned a simple matter of taste into yet another Line In The Sand behind which they stand and go “Hah! This is us being defiant. Suck it, UnAmerican world.” On the other side of the line, the unAmerican world is going about their lives without noticing, so Beck and the others have started furiously shouting “HEY! THIS IS US BEING DEFIANT! DON’T YOU CARE?”
Actually, I’ve noticed people from outside the US trashtalking Americans about upcoming international soccer matches, and the usual response of “huh?” is both hilarious and modestly depressing.

You mean tourists coming to the states, or outside of the country?
Because I may be wrong, but none of the French, British or German soccer fans I know have ever bothered to pass comment on the U.S. team or how Americans feel about the game – it’s just not on their radar.

Look at the American soccer demographic.
You will, instantaneously, understand their revulsion.
But the real question is, do we have sufficient ICBMs to destroy all those foreign soccer teams?
