The Japanese had better watch out — this is just Phase One of the plan to implement Barf-ia Law all across the land.

Ronaldhu Akbar!

A McDonald’s shrine near the World Trade Center?

That’ll be my religion. Tremble with fear, Christians!

Nagasaki is the Pentagon of American atomic bombing campaigns.

I feel like they’re shoving their meat down the unwilling throats of the American people.

Ronald be with you.

And also with you.

The Church of the Profit

Fuckin irony, how does it work?

You’d think the Japanese would protest more loudly over the celebratory “Everyone Fall Down and Weep while Lee Greenwood Plays” explosion reenactment McDonald’s forces the employees to endure every morning at 8:15 AM.

And that is exactly the sort of thing that will happen if America’s defiant true patriot three percenters fail to stop Cordoba House from firing its Ion Sharia Laser at Branson, Missouri.

And that is exactly the sort of thing that will happen if America’s defiant true patriot three percenters fail to stop Cordoba House from firing its Ion Sharia Laser at Branson, Missouri.

Hey, I would get a little misty-eyed if that happened. Silver Dollar City is fucking awesome.

BTW, D., “Barf-ia Law” made me giggle. I would have gone with “McSharia Law,” or “Sharia McLaw,” but yours is clearly better. Which is why you’re the professional and I am not.

The Golden Arches are a traditional Islamic symbol: the ‘M’ stands for ‘Muslim’!!!

I’m waiting for Newt Gingrich to point out that McDonald’s is itself a reference to William Jesse McDonald, bodyguard to Teddy Roosevelt, uncle of FDR, who passed the presidency to Truman, who ORDERED THE VERY BOMBING OF HIROSHIMA.

It’s CLEARLY triumphalist. Also: rich Corinthian hamburger.

That’s just in retaliation for the Bonzai Tatoo parlor at 145 Kamehameha Highwy, scant blocks from Battleship Row.

One would expect a number of Wingnuts to investigate this desecration while chanting the phrase, “Supersize me!”

Clearly, however, this is a completely different situation.

With the Ground Zero Mosque, that’s the Evil Forces of Muslimanity rubbing our noses in our Eternal, Emasculating Defeat.

With the Ground Zero McDonald’s, that’s America rubbing non-honkeys’ noses in their Eternal, Emasculating Defeat.

One is an atrocity. The other is fuckin’ awesome.

Eternal, Emasculating Defeat.

Just get a scrip for viagra already.

I’m still waiting for Pammycakes to notice the crescent on the South Carolina flag. Any truth to the rumor she pickets her local Safeway for selling crescent rolls???

I don’t know about y’all, but I’d much rather have an ammonia-soaked hamburger made from the ground flesh of at least 43 aged dairy cows that has been infused with the delicious taste of high fructose corn syrup and is served with a neon-orange cheeselike substance than FRESH RAW FISH EWWWWWWW.

And that’s another reason why America fucking rules.

neon-orange cheeselike substance

No reason to get personal.

OT, but I just remembered when this woman came into the artisanal bakery where I used to work and asked for non-dairy creamer for her coffee…I told her we didn’t have any and offered her soymilk. She wrinkled up her nose and said, “Ewww, no thanks.”

What the FUCK did she think non-dairy creamer was??? I mean, I guess you don’t have that added tang of HFCS, but what a fucking dumbass.

I object! I am not a cheese like substance. I have no substance!

T&U, everyone knows that soy milk is one of those hippie things. EWW, HIPPIES, IT’S AWFUL.

Actually, maybe she had a soy allergy.

Non-dairy creamer often has soy in it, though.

We really don’t know what ethnicity Ronald really is, do we? And does anyone think that the McRib is really made from real pork?

I’m lovin’ it.

Just you wait til we send this to Honolulu!

“Oh, so *that’s* why my closet has become a whirling, bottomless vortex emanating what sounds to be the cries of people in anguish…”

As long as there aren’t any fucking clown dolls under the bed. I fucking hate clowns.

What the FUCK did she think non-dairy creamer was???

I once had to explain to a guy I worked with why margarine isn’t a dairy food.

What’s scary is that he was my boss. What’s incredibly scary is that his job was editing a food industry trade magazine.

“Bonus points for using the word “coochie.””

You need to substitute Palin’s cackle for coochie more.

I dunno, it’s hard to get riled up over nuns playing softball for charity.

Turns out it only takes about two little fish to change me from a wimp into a savage. Soon enough I was holding one in my mouth before chewing, feeling it flip and frolic about like a bouncy ball let loose in a racquetball court. Sometimes I swallowed them whole, disappointed when I didn’t feel them wriggling down my throat and swimming around in my stomach. By the end, full from the rest of our meal and still marveling at the amazing oysters, I just wanted to get rid of the last four little suckers. One by one I chopsticked them into my soy sauce, added a little water, and shot the whole thing back. I let them swim around inside my soy mouth aquarium before chewing them up and swallowing them down.

Gaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!

—Usage note
First recorded in writing toward the end of the 19th century in the United States, snuck has become in recent decades a standard variant past tense and past participle of the verb sneak : Bored by the lecture, he snuck out the side door. Snuck occurs frequently in fiction and in journalistic writing as well as on radio and television: In the darkness the sloop had snuck around the headland, out of firing range. It is not so common in highly formal or belletristic writing, where sneaked is more likely to occur. Snuck is the only spoken past tense and past participle for many younger and middle-aged persons of all educational levels in the U. S. and Canada. Snuck has occasionally been considered nonstandard, but it is so widely used by professional writers and educated speakers that it can no longer be so regarded.

Thomas Jefferson once said “Its a damn poor man that can only think of one way to spell a word.” I agree and take it one step further.

The U.S. should negotiate a series of bilateral treaties with receptive governments, carving out undeveloped sites the size of Hong Kong. Then a joint venture between the host government and the U.S. would launch brand new Free Cities in these places, with a complete set of American-style freedoms and responsibilities, guaranteed by treaty for 50 years.

There is a 3 story tall McDonald’s right across from the Luxor Temple in Egypt.

Tempura is actually western food to begin with. It is a Japanese-ization of the word “temperance” — the Japanese got the dish from early Portuguese Catholic missionaries, who thought fried foods encouraged abstinence or something. (Or so the half-remembered story goes. It’s a bit hard to believe that anybody with access to the raw materials wouldn’t discover the joys of breading things and then frying them on their own.)

“By the way, would you convey my compliments to the purist who reads your proofs and tell him or her that I write in a sort of broken-down patois which is something like the way a Swiss-waiter talks, and that when I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will remain split, and when I interrupt the velvety smoothness of my more or less literate syntax with a few sudden words of barroom vernacular, this is done with the eyes wide open and the mind relaxed and attentive. The method may not be perfect, but it is all I have.” — Raymond Chandler

I happened to read Fast Food Nation last week, and it mentioned that McDonald’s had opened a store one-third of a mile from the main gate at Dachau. According to the book, when it first opened, employees leafleted cars parked in the lot at Dachau with ads that said “Welcome to Dachau…and welcome to McDonalds.” The owners were finally convinced that such activities were in questionable taste, but still insisted that the placement of that restaurant was not trying to capitalize on the concentration camp tourist trade.

Hee hee! It’s a Christmas goose, too! Yum.

BTW, what would McFoieGras be served with? I like it with berries and other light, sweet stuff, but I have a feeling it would be fried and put on some sort of bun…

Seems that’s what’s good for the goose should be good for he gander

BTW, what would McFoieGras be served with?

Ketchup

BTW, what would McFoieGras be served with?

You’ve asked just the right guy! If it were my restaurant it would be a seared foie sandwich in toasted brioche, a few blackberries and a sauce of demi glace de veau with just a hint of raspberry. The “fries” would be sticks made from chickpea flour, water, parsley, garlic, a soupçon>/i> of curry, fried in fresh oil to a crisp exterior and soft interior. A fruity Beaujolais villages from the fountain. And I would absolutely supersize it.

I don’t even want to contemplate what horrors would be in the McD version.

Ketchup

Again, bile. Why did I even ask?

Okay, I can’t hear this…but…I can certainly imagine…

The night James Earl Carter, Jr. stood before God and the American people, dressed in his cardigan, and told us to turn down our thermostats and quit driving. The road to Tarsus became, at that point, a toboggan ride. To actually watch the President of The United States behave in that fashion will, forever, be a shaming moment. It has not been equalled until Mr. Obama came along.

As god is my witness, I will never turn down a thrmostat again!

Mine was at a Geraldine Ferraro rally at Michigan State during the 1980 presidential campaign. A group of pro-life protestors had set up to my right and just to my left were a group of down-syndrome children overseen by 2 women. The pro-lifers held up signs and held a quite vigil while the women overseeing the down children shouted that the mothers of the pro-lifers should have aborted them. WOW…. That’s the day I decided where I stood.

Of course, Ferraro was not running in 1980, but she’d still have aborted those kids!

And there are probably quite a few Mitsubishis in the parking lot.

Good liverwurst is tasty! Not as tasty as foie gras, but better than anything McDonald’s would serve.

http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/international/outrage-over-plans-to-build-library-next-to-sarah-palin-201008193017/

Leberwurst. Yum. Braunschweiger. Yumyumyum.

And even if we do…we DON’T. Get. This.

Oh yes you do. And head cheese, especially souse. And scrapple. I KNOW you have to love the scrapple.

Mine was when I trying to donate blood to save orphaned dolphin babies whose parents had been killed by Greenpeace vessels; I naively assumed it was an accident at the time. Well, suddenly a bunch of Black Panthers came into the clinic and threw me out of the office so “they could get their hos some penicillian”. When I tried to calmly explain that I was trying save the dolphin babies, Gloria Steinem overheard me from the waiting room and got a pack of her feminists to beat me up while she made an angry speech about the how adoption wasn’t an option even for unwanted baby dolphins.

Luckily, some nice people doing community outreach for the John Birch Society heard the commotion and rescued me.

I KNOW you have to love the scrapple.

Parks actually tried to sell that here.

Didn’t go over well.

Get it?

Uhhhhh……no?

Does Oscar Mayer even make that shit anymore? Nasty.

. And head cheese, especially souse. And scrapple. I KNOW you have to love the scrapple.

I can’t do head cheese. It’s the…chunks…I’ve never had scrapple.

Not surprising, I scored “Finn”.

The U.S. should negotiate a series of bilateral treaties with receptive governments, carving out undeveloped sites the size of Hong Kong. Then a joint venture between the host government and the U.S. would launch brand new Free Cities in these places

Of course, you all took Newt to mean that these undeveloped sites and Free Cities will be in the other countries, and that the US will be the investor. Hah!

” overseeing the down children shouted that the mothers of the pro-lifers should have aborted them. WOW…. That’s the day I decided where I stood.”

Ah yes. I’m sure that really happened.

Speaking in support of the project, one man held up his American passport to prove his citizenship. Zead Ramadan, a Muslim who said his wife and brother were first responders after Sept. 11, said a lot of the rhetoric was simply Islam-phobia. He was shouted down.

Let’s show our support for the brave first responders!!! (But only if they’re Christians.) Also, all the muslims that were killed in the WTC attack were obviously in on the plan.

” overseeing the down children shouted that the mothers of the pro-lifers should have aborted them. WOW…. That’s the day I decided where I stood.”

Ah yes. I’m sure that really happened.

When I first read this comment it registered that that those caring for the down children were saying the down children should have been aborted. But it really says they were saying the anti-abortionits (I refuse to us the term pro-life for a group who generally support wars and death penalties.) should have been aborted. And after hearing one of the anti abortionists shout something really stupid or hateful I can believe that someone would have resonded with something like “the world would be better off if you had been aborted.” So, yeah, it might have really happened.

One outrage scenario I had not yet encountered until just now:

The problem is that most of our congress critters, be the Nope-a-GOPes or Dimmycrats, are wealthy. So when it comes to making a decision on tax cuts for the wealthy… well, there you go.

Fucking Missouri Democrats, how do they work?

Like most other fucking scumbag opportunistic politicians.

They don’t care about anything other than their own selfish interests and future fundraising opportunities. So it’s to be expected that they would support more stimulus for fucking Wall Street than for actual people losing their jobs, do fucking nothing for people losing their homes, and climb on to the anti-regulation bandwagon with the fucking Repukes.

OT–found in the free section of Craig’s List while trying to get rid of some of my own clutter:

Free couch;

Somebody was supposed to come get it but never showed up. His loss is your gain! Free couch with out of this world romantic powers! If this couch can’t get you in the zone you are a eunuch. No rips, no strange animal smells. I got a new couch so it has to go. It was just put in my driveway for easy pick up. If you see this ad it is still available.

The road to Tarsus became, at that point, a toboggan ride.

I read that as “Taurus” and wondered why the commenter was concerned about his Ford sedan.

Which means it is highly unlikely that any of those folks would ever get on the road to Tarsus. Although, if they did I can believe they would try to use a tobaggan on it.

I’m really losing faith in the great Gazoogle. When I asked Google images for Tarsiers on a toboggan I got 13 pages of images. But only two had tarsiers, and they were both stuffed toys, and there was not even one image of a toboggan. I find it hard to believe that there’s not someone somewhere in this big, crazy world that has taken a picture of a tarsier on a toboggan and posted it online.

He added: “Our founding fathers intended for every building in this country to be a church containing one book, written by Jesus, that would be read out in a strange voice by an orange man in a shiny suit who would also tell you who you were allowed to kill.

“Building a library next to Mrs Palin is like Pearl Harbour. Or 9/11.”

“My conversion from the liberal daughter of a peace activist to a conservative was sparked after happening upon the televised Ruby Ridge hearings. Learning the reasons a mom was shot to death while holding her child in her arms drove home the point that the gov’t was not my friend and giving it more power was a bad idea”

This bitch pisses gocart off. First of all asshole, It happened when Bush I was president so Republicans did it.
Second, Randy Weaver’s nephew had just killed an FBI agent in cold blood.
Third, Randy Weaver was armed and sure, the police “may have acted stupidly” in justifiably trying to kill him and accidently missing and hitting his stupid wife who was standing in the doorway holding their infant but somehow I can’t help thinking that there would be less outrage on the right if the same thing happened to an unarmed pot growing hippie, prominant black historian, or ACORN employee who was behind on her taxes instead of a white Christian Nazi (No hyperbole intended, Google “Christian Identity Movement”.)
Fourth, liberal peace activists are big on the Police Industrial Complex!! Shut up you Kantian Nihilist Twat.
(Rant Off)
Don’t get gocart started on Elian or Schiavo or I may blow a gasket.

My conversion from the liberal daughter of a peace activist to a conservative was sparked after happening upon the televised Ruby Ridge hearings.

Yeah, because peace activists have never been the targets of police brutality.

“You know, it’s not easy to milk a broccoli.”

I always wondered how they are able to squeese the teets of the soy beans to make soy milk. Must be awfully difficult. Maybe they have a machine that does that.

[I had a smoke and counted to ten. I think my blood pressure is back to normal]

To be clear, I think the FBI did “act stupidly” because a mother and child were in the vicinity and I feel sorry for the child and even the mother despite the fact that she hated blacks and jews.

“despite the fact that she hated blacks and jews.”

To clarify my clarification: I followed the hearings at the time and there was a lot of dancing around randy weavers relegious beleifs and “Cristian Identity” I did a little research and the debate on their official website was about slavery. Some thought it should be re-instated; the pragmatists thought that was not politically viable. Also, Jews are evil Christ killers and negros are subhuman. Also, also, I found it amusing that the Republicans were taking civil liberty and police procedure positions that were to the left of the ACLU!

National Penis Day
In New Zealand, September 4th is national penis day. Heaps of guys in each of the main cities go to a public place (like The Square in Christchurch), get naked and stand in a formation so as to form a giant penis. Lots of chicks and dirty old men go.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/products.php?term=National%20Penis%20Day&defid=238701

I killed the thread. I is sorry 🙁

To be clear, I think the FBI did “act stupidly” because a mother and child were in the vicinity and I feel sorry for the child and even the mother despite the fact that she hated blacks and jews.

I suspect the mother put herself and her baby in harms way intentionally to try to protect her husband. She gambled that the feds would not shoot with the baby there and lost that bet. I feel sorry for the child but not so much for the mother. This also brings us to the point that the people who point to this incident with such outrage have no problem at all with the government killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghani mothers and children.

Gocart:
I knew wingnuts at the time they were freaking out about Randy Weaver. (Clinton was prez during the time they freaked out, no?) And I kept hearing them euphemize and dissemble re. Weaver’s attitudes towards race. The more sophisticated among them would hint that he was just a racialist — wanted all the races to stick to themselves, didn’t want to go out and burn crosses. The more simple of them would say, He just had to get away from Those People. If you knew anything about survivalist mentality, you know they’re always jabbering on about how THEY are going to riot in those evil cities and you have to get away from THEM, end of the world, arrgle bargle, yadda yadda.

It’s racism. Duh her. Our standards in America are so lenient. If we don’t yank a klan hood off you or can’t smell coal on you from last night’s cross burning, then you must not be a racist! At least to hear a lot of Republicans say it.

We’re seeing it once again. Far right and hard conservatives in this country discover civil liberties and police abuses, hmm, when is it? When a Democrat is president? How conVENient!

I just skimmed the R. Weaver entry at wikipedia (and it looks a little drooly fan clubby) and was happy to see MOVE listed in the “See also” section.

Cardinal Richileu is right!

I mean, dammit! I was supposed to have posted that as “Bilo.” I’m only Cardinal R. when I sure deed that theeng.

Gah.

The Wall Street Urinal Op-ed Page: “Victory in Iraq”

“The classic lament about the war in Iraq is that it achieved little at a huge cost in American lives, treasure and reputation. That view rests on a kind of amnesia about the nature of Saddam Hussein’s regime, his 12-year defiance of binding U.N. resolutions, the threat he posed to its neighbors, the belief—shared by the Clinton and Bush Administrations and intelligence services world-wide—that he was armed with weapons of mass destruction, the complete corruption of the U.N. sanctions regime designed to contain him, and the fact that he intended to restart his WMD programs once the sanctions had collapsed.

This admirable American effort has now given Iraqis the opportunity to govern themselves democratically. We supported the Iraq invasion primarily for reasons of U.S. national security. But a successful war also held the promise that it could create, in a major Arab state, a model for governance that would result in something better than the secular or religious dictatorships that have so often bred brutality and radicalism—which has increasingly reached our own shores. The fact that Iraq has a functioning judiciary, and that Iraqi voters have rejected their most sectarian parties at the polls, is cause for hope that the country is moving in that direction.”

The reality-based community has a different take: From the LA Times report entitled “No rejoicing in Iraq as U.S. combat mission ends”

“Instead, a mood of deep apprehension tinged with bitterness is taking hold as Iraqis digest the reality that the American invaders whom they once feared would stay forever are in fact going home, when their country is in the throes of a deep political crisis that many think could turn increasingly violent.

On the ground, there has been no dramatic deterioration in security, at least not yet. But many Iraqis are concerned about the recent uptick in the number of shootings and assassinations across Baghdad and in the still troubled provinces.

A rash of assassinations of judges, traffic policemen, senior civil servants and members of the Iraqi security forces has stirred fear that insurgents are more ubiquitous than had been thought. A suicide bombing Tuesday in Baghdad targeting army recruits, in which 63 people died, called into question the Iraqi security forces’ ability to take care of its own, let alone the safety of civilians.

A group of Iraqi soldiers standing guard beside their U.S.-supplied Humvee on a major Baghdad street didn’t seem so sure.

One of the soldiers, when asked whether he thought security would deteriorate without U.S. combat forces, replied, “Of course, because we have no government.” The soldier, who refused to give his name because he was not authorized to talk to reporters, made it clear he wasn’t happy to see the Americans go.

“I wish they had taken me with them,” he said. “I don’t want to be here.”

Sparkleponies and purple fingers. Groovy.

have no problem at all with the government killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghani mothers and children.

Actually, it goes farther than that. If a similar situation had taken place in Baghdad or Fallujah, the unanimous opinion of the wingnuts would be that the wife and child were “human shields”, and therefore their deaths are the responsibility of the husband, not the people who shot them. (As I understand it, the Geneva Convention would see it the same way, but I am not a lawyer so I could have that wrong.)

“Now I am become Ptomaine, Destroyer Of Intestines.”

“I suspect the mother put herself and her baby in harms way intentionally to try to protect her husband. She gambled that the feds would not shoot with the baby there and lost that bet.”

Sirius: I was unemployed at the time and spent my afternoons drinking beer and watching CSPAN (Ah good times) I remember it as, she was watching from behind the screen door and her husband was walking around in the front of the house like a dumbass. They may not even have seen her. I don’t know. I would have said “honey, take the baby and hide in the celler or something. Of course, if he had only dropped his weapon and surrendered, none of this would have happened. He was only guilty of FTA on an unregistered gun charge.

Bilo: I think of all the dozens and dozens of cases of unarmed black people killed by the police and how the right ALWAYS takes the side of the cops and can’t help wondering if there is, I don’t know, perhaps a racial element to it. They never get a congressional hearing. This is what pisses me off so much.

I am assuming you are understating this for ironic (sardonic?) emphasis.

That’s for me to know and you to assume Looch.

You know what they say about “assume,” don’t you? It makes an ass out of an ume, which is a type of plum. Or something like that.

I’m surprised that Obama didn’t use “Presume!” as his electoral slogan.

But then we’d have made a plum president, and that’s just crazy talk.

Wasn’t that basically Palin’s platform? “A nice pear for vice-president”?

—Usage note
First recorded in writing toward the end of the 19th century in the United States, snuck has become in recent decades a standard variant past tense and past participle of the verb sneak : Bored by the lecture, he snuck out the side door. Snuck occurs frequently in fiction and in journalistic writing as well as on radio and television: In the darkness the sloop had snuck around the headland, out of firing range. It is not so common in highly formal or belletristic writing, where sneaked is more likely to occur. Snuck is the only spoken past tense and past participle for many younger and middle-aged persons of all educational levels in the U. S. and Canada. Snuck has occasionally been considered nonstandard, but it is so widely used by professional writers and educated speakers that it can no longer be so regarded.

Smited feels vindicated.

I think I can bring home the McDonald’s near the real ground zero thingy a bit more: for years, I’ve had the idea for a painting; the only reason I haven’t made it is a general lack of talent. Anyhoo, this painting would be called The Last Happy Meal, and in it, Ronald and his disciples – Mayor McCheese, the Grimace, those weird fry creatures, et al, are all seated on the banquette side of a row of those chintzy McDonald’s two-tops with the swivel captain’s chairs on the other side. Over Ronald’s head are the golden arches – glowing, of course. And seated on the opposite side of the table is the Hamburglar, Ronald’s Judas. In his hand he clutches…a Burger King sack. He has just sold out Ronald for 30 Whopper Jr’s. And…well, that’s pretty much all there is to it.

Speaking of McDonald’s Jennifer, I have been to one in Bali where you get to bring your own beer and a waitress serves you, one in dowtown Rome that sells beer and wine, and one in Madrid where the chicken wings are real chicken and delicious.

Gocart:
Yeah, and I couldn’t help but think of Fred Hampton.

Oh, and how they didn’t know and wouldn’t care about the Fred Hampton deal.

Jennifer,
I’ve had a vaguely similar idea. An excercise class in which everybody wears flowing robes of linen, and leather sandals. Lots of arms-out stretching. After class is over, everybody pays the instructor with a gold piece, all 30 students. I call it Pontius Pilates.

This guy I know has Ronald McDonald on a crucifix with the Hamburgler looking up and him and those weird fry things skanking below tattooed on his upper leg. Which was somewhat funny, except that when he showed it to us, I got a full-on view of his balls, which was traumatizing, because he was not the type of person whose balls most people would want to see.

Why the fry dudes are skanking, I do not know. Seems rather blasphemous to me.

Bilo, I had to look up Fred Hampton and yes he aint no Randy Weaver. I mean that as a compliment to Mr Hampton and no I’m not being sardonic.

Oh, and they sell hotdogs at Japanese McDonalds – but only on the breakfast menu.
