What For Does She Sing? (Only Mr. God Knows)

Eh, Thers, what is your Chav Knacker Rap when compared to the glories of Englatvian or Latglish?

Full lyrics here since Aisha’s English is, well, barbaric. I do not think there has ever been a better Eurovision lyric than this:

What for are we losing?
Only Mr God knows why
But his phone today is out of range

Apparently Mr. God gets the same shitty service on his AT&T iPhone as everyone else.

Yup. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that illegal immigrants actually contribute a lot more in taxes than they supposedly drain from social services.

 
 

Citizen or not, these lists are fucking dangerous–one of the hallmarks of a totalitarian society. The people who make them are actually encouraging threats, violence and intimidation. Once the list is made, it’s not particularly difficult to gather up the people on it and then…well, we all know what happens from there.

The biggest problem we face is the stupidity of the haters. They won’t accept any reform that doesn’t specifically mandate deportation of all non-legal immigrants. It’s nothing but fucking stupid.

Stuffed Giant Sun Spider with Tossed Saint Paulin Cheeses

Ingredients:
4 bunches giant sun spider, grilled
4 bags Saint Paulin cheese
1 cow’s milk mozzarella, neglectfully tossed
4 sticks techno gnome ear, grilled
1 bag cilantro
3 bunches jasmine

Pre-heat your George Foreman grill to 406 Celsius. Begin praying. Place the giant sun spider into a small pot. Use a food processor to combine the cow’s milk mozzarella with the Saint Paulin cheese. Stuff the resulting mixture into the giant sun spider. Find some hard alcohol and drink it. Chill – very everywhere – the techno gnome ear, cilantro, and the jasmine. Pound everything together encompassingly. Fry in Port Jackson shark oil for 121 minutes. Serves 1 white individuals with tart stomachs.

No, really: “‘We consider [birth control] an elective drug. Married women can practice periodic abstinence. Other women can abstain altogether. Not having sex doesn’t make you sick.'”

 
 

The Mexican-haters of course see everything as a zero sum game. They don’t understand that while we must address our border issues, we must do so in a sane sensible humane way. These fucknuts don’t care so much about that kinda stuff ; they just want to get their way NOW, dammit!!

That’s because they believe that all this right wing bullshit about the government paying out billions of dollars in welfare and health care to these people. They consider them a drain on society, and think they’re stealing our money. This all sounds very familiar to those who actually paid attention in history class.

 
 

No, really: “‘We consider [birth control] an elective drug. Married women can practice periodic abstinence. Other women can abstain altogether. Not having sex doesn’t make you sick.’”

Comment if I were a woman: I consider your interest in my vajayjay disturbing and insulting. While lack of sex may not make me sick, your creepy fascination with my sex life proves that you are sick. I’ll shut my legs when every one of you assholes shuts your mouths.

Yes, it worked so well for those pedophile priests, didn’t it?

 
 

I read some of the comments from T&U’s article. I’m gonna go kill myself now.

 
 

In the April letter, the writers say their group “observes these individuals in our neighborhoods, driving on our streets, working in our stores, attending our schools and entering our public welfare buildings.”

Jeebus. This is frightening. So any brown person they decide they don’t like they investigate their personal lives and put their name on a list? Where do they get the info like childrens’ names, womens’ due dates, SS#s? For sending the medical info alone the listmakers are breaking the law, aren’t they?

 
 

Yes, it worked so well for those pedophile priests, didn’t it?

No birth control or abortions so that’s DIFFERENT.

 
 

“That’s because they believe that all this right wing bullshit about the government paying out billions of dollars in welfare and health care to these people.

Yeah, there taking our jobs,too. You know all the jobs that most white folks wouldn’t last two hours at.

 
 

“‘We consider [birth control] an elective drug. Married women can practice periodic abstinence. Other women can abstain altogether. Not having sex doesn’t make you sick.’”

You know, having a baby could be considered an elective procedure. Not having kids also doesn’t make you sick, and in fact is probably a lot better for you than not having sex.

 
 

Yeah, there taking our jobs,too. You know all the jobs that most white folks wouldn’t last two hours at.

Not to mention the price of the things we buy like produce at the grocery store. It isn’t so cheap because we’re paying the farm workers a living wage.

Yeah, that was a bad idea.

Not having sex won’t make you sick, but it can certainly make you unhappy, or, at the very least, deprive you of an important stress-relief technique. And practicing abstinence within a marriage to prevent implantation deprives married people of the opportunity to bond AND makes sex more stressful and difficult because women have to constantly monitor their bodies and worry that they haven’t gotten the timing right.

It’s fucking stupid.

 
 

All these bad Eastern European pop songs and not a single Laibach version? Something wrong with that.

Not in their world. The Book says to be fruitful and multiply (although gay mathematician seems ok by this wording) so no kids is NOT an option.

So before we all go off the deep end over the lists of deportable brown people, I’d just like to point out that this is not a government-sponsored list (so far as we know now). This isn’t another step towards a totalitarian state, it’s a group of unbelievable asshats who have some sort of access to info that shouldn’t be but probably is publicly available if you know how to get it.

Thank you, Citizens of Utah. You have once again proven that for a substantial number of you, the decision not to abort was a very, very bad one.

And practicing abstinence within a marriage to prevent implantation deprives married people of the opportunity to bond AND makes sex more stressful and difficult because women have to constantly monitor their bodies and worry that they haven’t gotten the timing right.

FWIW, this is what I do, and it’s not actually that big a deal – you only have to monitor for the first part of your cycle, after you’ve ovulated you’re done, and it’s really obvious when that happens. However, it’s not their decision to make for me or any woman other than themselves.

“Not having sex doesn’t make you sick.’”

Boy, not having sex hasn’t exactly done me a world of good, and you can believe that. But since these folks seem to concentrate on that nasty, nasty vagina-type sex, perhaps this injunction is a veiled recommendation for homosexuality. After all, there’s never been a reason for at a gay guy to go on the Pill.

God, T&U, you’re not easily impressed, are you?

Nope.

 
 

By the way, it’s not like the family is a middle class family with just the house as a major asset.

THEY ARE FUCKING RICH!

They’re in Uganda now, if I read their blog correctly (skimmed, so prob not), and the kids are pretty much set for life anyway.

Kevin spent 18 years writing and editing at the Wall Street Journal, then left to create his own company in 2000 and has been an entrepreneur ever since. He is on the board of Atlanta Habitat for Humanity.

Joan enjoyed a first career at Accenture for nearly 20 years before her heart told her to go back for a Master’s and build a second career as a teacher. Joan has worked with organizations serving seniors and as a mentor with Big Brothers/Big Sisters.

Hannah is a 17-year-old junior who is a member of the varsity volleyball and swimming teams. She started volunteering in the 5th grade, working at Cafe 458, a restaurant that serves homeless people, and at the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

Joseph is a 15-year-old freshman with a passion for baseball and music (guitar and trombone). He began working at the food bank when he was 8 years old.

So a family of rich (possibly Christians) does the Christian thing and these asshats are mocking them?

 
 

But this is at least the second time I’ve seen something in the NYT about that family.

Here’s a hint: the Times stopped writing investigative reports about social events and the humanities years ago.

The obits are now provided by the family (unless it’s a well-known person). The real estate articles are funded by property owners. And articles like this are probably pushed by the book publisher.

I have a friend who’s been in the Times three times already, even tho he was a fucking baker who sold his company decades ago.

Okay, look. I’m glad they did it, and they’re a good example to other rich people. But there are plenty of middle class and poor people who give away a large percentage of their incomes every year to charity.

OK, who recorded Actor showing T&U his “etchings?”

Hey, my etchings ARE SO impressive!

My dad did always tell me that I stood too close to the microwave…

 
 

Don’t stand
Don’t stand so
Don’t stand so close to ZZZZPT.

Oh yes! That marvelous police song based on the book by Nabokov, Mosquita

I may have to move to Romania, and run some political campaigns.

 
 

This may be the only time you can read the words “Dong” hammers man in the same sentence without contravening some obscenity law.

 
 

No, the list wasn’t created by state government, but the state government is going to use the list and information to investigate the people on the list.

It’s a distinction but not a difference.

I’m not sure they can.

 
 

I am somewhat amazed at this Althouse post and thread. It seems that some people did a good thing and that is terrible.

Yes, but did they give away free lemonade?

Whoops. Sorry, Substance.

 
 

So before we all go off the deep end over the lists of deportable brown people, I’d just like to point out that this is not a government-sponsored list (so far as we know now). This isn’t another step towards a totalitarian state, it’s a group of unbelievable asshats who have some sort of access to info that shouldn’t be but probably is publicly available if you know how to get it.

Your point is well taken, and I might just be overreacting a little. However, I imagine someone like, say, Sheriff Joe down in AZ getting his hands on the list. How would he react to the list–throw it away or stick it in a desk drawer just in case? The point is that these lists of political enemies, despite the fact that they’ve always been around, are dangerous. When it gets as personal as publishing SS#’s (with the added benefit of making them easy targets for identity theft), then we’re looking at a vicious attack with one goal in mind. These things scare the shit out of me. That shit isn’t supposed to happen here. You mix this shit with angry public sentiment, and what do you end up with?

 
 

Yes, but did they give away free lemonade?

Laced with Ecstasy.

 
 

The man, thought to be aged around 40, did not explain to hospital staff how exactly the pipe got stuck around his penis, after he presented himself at the hospital’s Accident & Emergency department on Tuesday morning. He was said to be ‘quite concerned and anxious’.

This is so full of win it hurts to look at.

 
 

Why are the skies so blue, and mountains high?

Fuckin’ mountains! How do they work?

 
 

Laced with Ecstasy.

Where was this?

Skiing accident?

 
 

The penis was left bruised and swollen, but otherwise unharmed by its traumatic day.

Any REAL reporter would have, you know, ASKED THE PENIS A GODDAMNED QUESTION.

I’m not sure they can.

They can use it to investigate, nothing they find as a result of it would be admissible in court. Well, shouldn’t be admissible, that is. There are ways around that, however, especially in Arizona.

You ever try to talk with your lips all bruised and swollen?

Well, neither have I, but I’ve dated some women who’ve had collagen injections, see, and it’s not easy to understand them…

 
 

You ever try to talk with your lips all bruised and swollen?

Yes, I have. Apparently, there is a wrong way to blow up a car. Who knew?

AW!

You’re disappointed it was unharmed?

Sounded like a sigh of sympathy for the poor little feller.

The latest in parental control programs is GodBlock, a Web filter that promises to “protect … kids from the often violent, sexual, and psychologically harmful material in many holy texts, and from being indoctrinated into any religion before they are of the age to make such decisions.” The free software, available for Windows XP, Vista, and Mac OS X, is being targeted at parents and schools. But, MSNBC pointed out, the whole thing might yet turn out to be an elaborate hoax as nobody has been able to download the software yet. A writer at Christianity Today argued that GodBlock is only the latest in a series of online tools popping up for believers and nonbelievers alike. “Sean McDowell’s Fast Facts, Challenges & Tactics has tops for ‘reasoning with an unbeliever,’ while Jason Hagen’s Atheist Pocket Debater tries to poke logical holes in miracles and Scripture,” Trevor Persuad wrote.

More.

 
 

The penis was left … swollen

Please do not leave me swollen. Thank you.

Actually, that is what bothers me the most. A government-sponsored list would be confidential, and shared only among agencies. Ominous as that would be, this is even worse, because it makes the people on the list targets of random idiots for all kinds of mayhem.

I am shocked that no one has asked how the pipe felt. Sexually abused, cut into pieces, and abandoned…it’s a Lifetime movie in the making if ever I saw one.

Or is it Sir Harry the Tumescent? I always get those two confused…

 
 

I notice that Aisha likes to air her dirty laundry in public so at least she has that aspect of American pop culture going for her.

I see I’m missing lots of penis talk.

I just popped in to say I need another song. I’m bored with my current playlist.

Someone shout one out.

 
 

I just popped in to say I need another song.

For Genius recommendations?

“Shout” to get the wimp-rock thing going.
“Little Red Rooster” (anybody’s version) to get the PENIS thing going.
“L’amour est un oiseau rebelle” to get the girl-power thing going.

 
 

Someone shout one out.

“Shout”

NO, I mean the song, idjit.

I was going to recommend sun kil moon’s “Carry Me Ohio,” which I have been listening to a lot lately, but then I realized you probably aren’t in the mood to open a vein…

 
 

Cheer’s playing now.

Ew. And she married Greeg Allman too…

 
 

Xechy, that list makes me sayud.

Sub, that’s a good song. My first time hearing it. I liked the cat.

T&U, I will check out your song.

N_B, I will check out the Frenchy song, ‘cuz there are several French artists I really dig.

actor, who told you this was the proper place to be silly?

No, really, VS…it’ll make you want to open a vein. Or maybe take a nap. But it’s very good.

 
 

to get the PENIS thing going.

Wow, you can do that with song? I always used my hands or other…areas…

 
 

OK, I gave “Carry Me Ohio” a try…wasn’t really my thang.

 
 

N_B, I will check out the Frenchy song, ‘cuz there are several French artists I really dig.

Uh…it’s a quite old Frenchy song.

Can you pole dance? Then yes, its possible.

Yeah, I figured you probably weren’t a vein-opener.

 
 

Uh…it’s a quite old Frenchy song.

Keeping you Bizet, eh?

I sang Don Jose in that.

 
 

Alban Berg, 4th string quartet.

So the Packers found Favre’s replacement?

 
 

Uh…it’s a quite old Frenchy song.

Yeah, just found that out. I’m not that familiar with opera.

 
 

Sheesh, my lips say Berg, but my eyes say BARTOK. Stupid lips.

 
 

Stupid lips

That’s what she said.

2 songs, 1 band:

Song: “King Rabbit” by Floater — if, like me, you need a little post-lunch metal to keep your eyes open at work. Also, if you crank it up loud enough, it keeps the coworkers from visiting your office.

And with regard to the birth-control stuff way above, the discussion reminded me this quote:

It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to
mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics and chemistry.
— H.L. Mencken

 
 

Thanks Beer Snob. 🙂

 
 

The latest in parental control programs is GodBlock

I was very disappointed to find out that this was not a software that filters out religious content on the Internet. I was all set to order one and everything.

 
 

VS: Oysterhead, The Grand Pecking Order.

Might not be your cuppa but at least it’s different.

 
 

Also, if you crank it up loud enough, it keeps the coworkers from visiting your office.

Sheesh! Alannis Morisette can do that and you don’t have to worry about people wondering if you’ve gone round the bend.

 
 

Sorry, I was in a canyon – no frickin’ reception. What did I miss?
