I’ll never eat a pink peep again.

I’m sorry but who cares – I thought it was “kerners are go!” day.

I could only get to his use of Journolister before crapping my pants because the stupid punched me so hard.

That’s all very interesting, but I just noticed that the pink color on the bunny suit is a bit off–and those aren’t the frames that Andy usually wears.

Let’s see the “Long Ear” version…the real one this time!1111!!!!

Poor Andy, the decision not to defend DOMA was a result of market forces- any major law firm would face public sanction if it decided to put its imprimatur on bigotry.

Laws don’t have human rights like humans do?!!! NO WAY! Though I was a bit puzzled about how a jury of DOMA’s peers was going to be brought together.

I got outta the boat and did not make it past the first sentence. Hell, I got stopped, by, the, first, comma,(“,”).

It’s always rich when reliable Democratic Party organs like the Washington Post,

It all ties together:

“I don’t have anything against gay people, but…”
“I never jumped on the ‘birther’ bandwagon, but…”
“I know not all Muslims are terrorists, but…”
“I’m bit a racist, but…”

Right. I’m sure the partners were just itching to take on a politically charged loser case.

Andrew “Uncle Tom” Sullivan put up a post berating the gay orgs for “bullying the lawyers.”

“I don’t have anything against gay people, but…”

Those greedy bastards won’t suck my cock for free!

Look, I was here all along! Now leave me the fuck alone, okay?!

I. Jumped ship. And scanned through the entire thing. I don’t get the DOMA thing. It was all about Rauf.

That is, did Tintin post wrong link? Am I an idiot? I recognize those are not necessarily disjoint.

[Tintin adds: I posted the wrong link. I fixed it. Sorry]

@Pupienus

Yep, the right article is:
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/265676/al-qaeda-yes-doma-no-andrew-c-mccarthy

I suspect that after seeing Andy in cute pink bunny ears VS is re-thinking her blogger commenting icon.

Life isn’t fair.

On Monday I finally got around to cataloging an obscure documentary called “Ron Athey’s Solar anus.” Not being a gay fetishist, I found it unappealing and unenlightening. But submitting an original bibliographic record to OCLC/Worldcat involves viewing the video, so I did, and got paid for it.

Today I have to catalog Annie Sprinkle’s “Herstory of Porn” and “How to be a sex goddess in 101 easy steps.” But since someone else already created bib. records for those titles, I cannot justify viewing them. I can only download the records, make a few edits, and get them into the local database.

If there isn’t some previously-uncataloged straight porn/art in this backlog I am gonna develop a resentment.

“I was a bit puzzled about how a jury of DOMA’s peers was going to be brought together.”

Just summons the Sons of the Confederacy, the KKK, the ghosts of Nathan Bedford Forrest, Alexander Stevens, Lester Maddox, Orval Faubus, George Wallace, et al. QED.

From the article:

DOJ has “a longstanding practice of defending the constitutionality of duly enacted statutes if reasonable arguments can be made in their defense.”

Right, so if there are no reasonable arguments…Come on, Andy, I know you can get this one.

Developing a resentment.

The fact is Hawiains are not heartland born Americans with Christian values. Kenyans can not give birth too true patriot freedom lovers.

Re-thinking the blogger commenting icon.

Gary Ruppert reveals himself to be a carnival barker.

(I’m not sure that smackdown is going to pay off for the president, but man it was fun to watch. Shades of Michael Douglas at the end of American President, only it was real.)

Right, so if there are no reasonable arguments…Come on, Andy, I know you can get this one”

Ha! You loony libs fell into my trap! The most obvious “reasonable argument” is SHUT UP!

I was told I was commenting too quickly, despite not commenting since yesterday.

Either that was a personal insult by the filtering system (Spearhafoc, with the quality of your comments, you should think about submitting one once a month. Naw, even that’s too much) or it thinks I’m Gary Ruppert.

I’m not sure which one is worse.

I was told I was commenting too quickly

The comment system does not gracefully handle simultaneous posts. “You are posting too quickly” is WordPressEse for “Other people are posting too quickly, so I am going to eat your post. Suck it.”

This is why I always copy my text to the clipboard before clicking on “Submit”.

WordPress likes a man with a slow hand.

This differs from Holder’s position exactly how?
We’re freaking doomed.

“WordPress likes a man with a slow hand.”

Damn. I knew that transfusion of mongoose blood would have its drawbacks.

Paul Clement is a brilliant lawyer. Putting two and two together, gay-rights groups realized they would face one of the nation’s most polished appellate advocates, one who would effectively employ all the compelling DOMA arguments the Obama Justice Department had been burying in the sand.

Andy has a crush! It goes well with his delusionns.

Laws don’t have human rights like humans do?!!! NO WAY!

Hell, why not. The Supremes have said that corporate money is identical to individual speech, so it’s worth a shot.

It’s hard to pay attention to lil’ Andy when birtherdammerung is going on.

all the compelling DOMA arguments the Obama Justice Department had been burying in the sand.

Ooh, like how it’s an egress, not an ingress? No kids and makes God sad? The FACT that marriages in Massachusetts started exploding in flames as soon as homonups were allowed?

Off topic: Funny how “going Galt” sounds suspiciously like a straight-up Internet flounce.

Andy McCarthy can go to hell for stealing vs’ bunny costume.
~

Okay, lookied at teh nu link. Surprise, surprise – Andy is fulla shit.

Teh Obama Admin isn’t refusing to defend DOMA. Firstly, their legal opinion is that DOMA fails under strict scrutiny and won’t defend it under those conditions. If strict scrutiny doesn’t hold, DOJ is back in the driver’s seat. Secondly, even under strict scrutiny, Holder has offered to lend whatever support or assistance that Congress requires in order to defend it themselves.

IOW – Andy’s basis for complaint is wrnog. Also too, his read on teh ebil and anti-Constitutional vindictive streak that Eric Holder has for all supporters of DOMA is wrnog.

And finally – even if we accept Andrew McCarthy’s what-colour-is-the-sky-in-your-world nonsense assumptions – he is still wrnog. The principle is that everyone (and since we’re dealing with the foetid fever-swamp of McCarthy land – every House Resolution too) gets legal representation. That whole Due Process thing that us libtards are so fond of. But DOMA has supporters – including the current US House of Representatives with whatever assistance they require from teh Obama DOJ.

So his comparison is fucked up. He’s upset that DOJ didn’t fire every single one of the “al Qaeda Seven”* or something and thinks it’s hypocritical for Holder to not defend DOMA. IOW – Holder’s non-refudiation of one group of lawyers means he is therefore required to support a law he doesn’t think is constitutional. Because Chewbacca lives on Endor or something.

*Holy frigging fuck that al Qaeda Seven thing was a shitbucket of fucked-up douchetard-ness. It is nice to see that McCarthy is willing to cross lines that even Liz Cheney won’t. Stay classy Andy.

Though I was a bit puzzled about how a jury of DOMA’s peers was going to be brought together.

We can dig up Jim Crow’s stinky old ass…

I was told I was commenting too quickly

it’s okay, spear…it’s nothing to be ashamed of…it happens to everybody…

Paul Clement is a brilliant lawyer. Putting two and two together, gay-rights groups realized they would face one of the nation’s most polished appellate advocates, one who would effectively employ all the compelling DOMA arguments the Obama Justice Department had been burying in the sand.

briliant, polished, effective and will remove all traces of that dirty sand?!? oh my, teh gays are going to hate him…

Also too, for fun bonus points – McCarthy’s preponderence of evidence of a history of behaviour or wevs is that the Clenis Admin (which signed DOMA – but don’t let that part confuse you) refused to defend the anti-Miranda law in Dickerson v US. And Holder was part of that Administration – therefore prima facie evidence of Holder’s contempt for Congress, laws, teh Constitution and all things good and NASCAR. Especially since, in McCarthy’s words, For the Left, Miranda is a sacred cow.

Ironic considering the Holder Justice Department was agitating for removing Miranda rights from suspected al Qaeda members just last year.

Also too, he claims that there were well-grounded argument’s in the statute’s favor. The statute was defended before the Supreme Court where the late ultra-liberal William Rehnquist (LOL) authored the decision striking it down 7-2. Guess which two Justices dissented.

also, i’m sending mail to a leafs suck donor…damn canada has weird postal codes…

Right, so if there are no reasonable arguments…Come on, Andy, I know you can get this one.

…ummmmm but teh gayz are so unreasonable with their special rights!!!

Hint: the names rhyme with Fascistino Fasciscalia and Misogynarence Misogynomas.

For the Left, Miranda is a sacred cow.

I thought Miranda was that little girl on iCarly. I don’t think she’s a cow at all, and she’s certainly not scared. Or sacred.

Stay classy Donald.

I think Obama’s calm excoriation of the media was the best part.

all the compelling DOMA arguments

[Citation Needed]

Just to clarify my final point at 19:38, in case someone with Andrew McCarthy’s reednig komporhanshuns drops by-

Even if Holder is refusing to defend DOMA (which he isn’t) this is totally different from his arguing that no one should be allowed to defend DOMA. Whic is totally consistent with his position that terror suspects should get representation (which ironically seems to be questionable based on evidence thus far).

Agreed, but that’s one of the things that might backfire on him. He’s hoping to shame them into doing their jobs. It might work, but then again, they might also turn on him (more than before) and they are the ones who write the spin.

I got a Spiro Agnew vibe from it (without the evil, I mean). He’s trying to talk over the heads of the media directly to the people. It might work, but it might also cause them all to circle the wagons and cluck their tongues about civility and shake their heads sadly about how the president promised change and isn’t it sad to see him sinking to such tactics…

I’m not a lawyer, but am able tell when my leg is gettin pulled

I’m not a lawyer either, but thems were actual serious comments from me. Well at least as serious as I get, which to be fair, isn’t all that serious. But, does, seem, to, use, a, lot, of, commas.

And you did an outstanding job of summarizing McCarthy’s bumpercar logic trail.

Agreed, but that’s one of the things that might backfire on him. He’s hoping to shame them into doing their jobs. It might work, but then again, they might also turn on him (more than before) and they are the ones who write the spin.

He made them look stupid, and the public has come to distrust them- I think it’s the wake-up call media outlets need, and the average person is yelling (as Mark Maron put it), “Why don’t they talk about the issues? We’re fighting for our lives!”

It might work, but it might also cause them all to circle the wagons and cluck their tongues about civility and shake their heads sadly about how the president promised change and isn’t it sad to see him sinking to such tactics…

I think his calm, yet acid, demeanor will help him- the media has done a shitty job covering the news for a long time, and the public knows it. Obama sounded pissed, yet civil, Trump sounded full of himself and obnoxious.

Well at least as serious as I get, which to be fair, isn’t all that serious.

D00d, you’ve changed! Now that your wife is a mother, your mother-obsessed web persona seems to have embraced monogamy!

“Critics, you won,” said John Aglialoro, the businessman who spent 18 years and more than $20 million of his own money to make, distribute and market “Atlas Shrugged: Part 1,” which covers the first third of Rand’s dystopian novel. “I’m having deep second thoughts on why I should do Part 2.”

Obviously Mr. Aglioloro is not worthy of entering my gulch.

Mr. Aglioloro sounds just like a fanfiction writer who is upset at the amount of feedback his last story got and is “threatening” to stop writing if more people don’t email to tell him how much they enjoyed it.

Note that the critics’ are to blame for his shitty flick aimed at a very limited audience sucking ass at the BO. Nope, couldn’t be that he made a celluloid turd, it was the socialist critics who ruined him. Typical Randoid.

Blasphemy should be a crime. The US Constitution requires that the defendant has the right to confront his accuser. Therefore and wherefore, at trial, the deity that has been blasphemed MUST appear as a witness. Popcorn?

Meanwhile, over at the National Review, the commenters are tying themselves in knots over whether or not the .pdf of Obama’s birth certificate was scanned using OCR, and that then is proof that they had multiple layers in the document, thus proving that the birth certificate is a forgery, or at least giving them some scrap of ambiguity to cling to, so as not to have to admit that the past two years have been spent obsessing over a total scam, lie, etc.

honestly, not much can be as cute as ralphie…except probably dudeskull…and dkw’s baby…and of course baby_b…

okay, fine! i did go over there and found this:

I’m not going to say that the information on the document is bogus, but I can definitely, without hesitation, say that the document was originally a two-layer piece.

The top layer is the ‘black’ part that came from a scanner as a grayscale scan. It was converted to black and white and the white part was made transparent.

That was dropped onto of a generic green watermark background, which is what makes it look official. But that was NOT on the original document as scanned. This is very evident by the white haloing around everything black.

It is also extremely evident that a layer was dropped onto the green background because the green marks are very crisp in the areas around the edges of the image, but are very blurred where the black image block covers it.

Now keep in mind that before the green background was added, the original scan could have easily been altered.. dates or names changed. I’m not saying it was. I’m just saying it’s a 100% fact that it could have been.

So, this document as we see it is still not proof of anything. I could easily recreate this document with someone else’s original Hawaii birth certificate and a generic watermark background.

really? somebody actually has spent this much time analyzing this?!?! holy fuck!

Can’t they get someone from the Thomas More Foundation or one of those other wingfuck-welfare associations?

Nobody actually wants law grads from Regent…

I could easily recreate this document with someone else’s original Hawaii birth certificate and a generic watermark background.

i can hear this dude in high school…’yeah, i’m kind of a big deal…can run the mile in less than a minute…yeah, i don’t know how many back boards i’ve shattered playin’ b-ball…like my hair? yeah, they call it a mullet…it’s pretty cool…the chicks dig it…yeah, i totally banged that chick…’

Jesus God it’s like these people have NEVER SEEN NON-WHITE PAPER. The fucking scan was PRINTED on the green paper, OK? It’s not PROOF OMG OMG OMG! because the green doesn’t curve where the scanned document did.

really? somebody actually has spent this much time analyzing this?!?! holy fuck!

Nah, he just pulled it all out of his prodigious ass.

One more unchallenged comment and this thread is in the mass grave.

This morning, a smirking Trump told reporters he was claiming victory over the release.

Well that’s going to go down well with all the birthers who were on the case right from the start and whose credit has been stolen.

To the extent that they believe Trump, they can also thank him for taking away their shiny thing.

Try that with your all-numerical zip codes!

yeah, bloody oddballs, proper ‘post codes’ have letters in them. A zip is something you do you jacket up with.

OMFG!!! there are actually citizens of the fair state of mn, talking on the radio right now that are STILL FUCKING CONVINCED OBAMA WASN’T BORN HERE!!!

first one guy said it doesn’t matter if he was or not, ‘his father took him to indonesia when he was in high school to study. indonesia does not have dual citizenship, so barry gave up his american citizenship’ and ‘he had 31/2 years to produce it…why didn’t he?’ whereupon the host, who is uber-conservative asked, ‘what other presidents have had to show their birth certificates?’ ‘uh, i don’t know…but they were born in places like kansas and nebraska!’ ‘hawaii is a state, sir…’ long silence….’uhhh…you got me there, but i still don’t believe he was born here!”

then another dude calls in and is saying that he kind of believes obama was born here, but he released it today to ‘distract the voters. don’t we have more important things to worry about? like afghanistan?’

the other topics of discussion is that obama’s mom was named stanley…god, i wish i had a gun?

okay…now i’m kind of amused…these same people who are bitching about obama being a ‘non-person’ and that he doesn’t seem to have ‘a history’ also do not know why his mom was named stanley and that both she and obama sr. are dead…holy shit…

then another dude calls in and is saying that he kind of believes obama was born here, but he released it today to ‘distract the voters. don’t we have more important things to worry about? like afghanistan?’

That was Obama’s point with the damn news conference!

Andy McCarthy sez: Under Holder’s stewardship, duly enacted statutes are deemed infirm when the Left disapproves of them — despite powerful constitutional arguments to be made in their behalf.

When I read this I said to myself, “bet you a nickel he never explains what those ‘powerful arguments’ actually are.”

Long story short, somebody owes me a nickel.

‘hawaii is a state, sir…’ long silence….’uhhh…you got me there,

This is funnier than a monkey fucking a football.

Long story short, somebody owes me a nickel.

McCarthy just handed you a whole bag of wooden ones. Don’t get greedy.

Wow, a friend of mine got a troll on one of his flickr pictures’ comment threads and drove it nuts deleting its comments. I think it’s Troofie – the latest entry includes actual LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

Didn’t all those “brilliant robust defense points” already get trotted out the last time DOMA was challenged in court? I seem to recall some of them were so brutally ultra-devastating that the defense counsel withdrew them unprompted once scads of their fellow law-nerds pointed & guffawed at their total lack of cogency or legal merit. Unless they’ve got a massive ghey live-baby-eating ring in their back pocket, the DOMAtards are already more fucked than Mae West in her prime, Holder or no Holder.

The trouble with Birtherdämmerung is (A) it’s degrading the terms of debate in the US just at the historical moment when Teh Land Of Teh Free needs to put its big-girl panties on the most, & (B) it’s yet more substance-free unicorn-shit landing on America’s plate just when ditto … it’s like playing poker with 52 deuces.

Orly Taitz: Obama’s Long-Form Birth Certificate Should Say ‘Negro’ Not ‘African’
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/04/orly_taitz_obamas_long-form_birth_certificate_should_say_negro_not_african.php

Holy fuck, gocart, she really is that dumb!

Waitaminute: Wouldn’t “African” fit into their delusional *unamerikan* scenarios much better than “Negro?” The howler monkeys of current political mis-discourse may yet wear me out.

Pshaw! Enraged Bull Limpet, Negroes can’t be ‘Mericans, Sir.

Superman – most famous anchor baby, evah.

Antipodian Correction Hereby Acknowledged, Mate!

–Speaking of mates, you wouldn’t happen to be… female, would you?

A sane person would assume that the Doctor or his staff asked the father “What should I put down for race ‘colored’, ‘negro’, ‘black’?” and Obama Sr. replied “I prefer ‘African'” and the Doc said “Sure whatever.”

Actually, Superman was an illegal immigrant. Show us your green card Man of Steel!

This person, “Madisonian,” must think the difference lies in the pronunciation. Fucking hilarious. I found myself reading on:

Apparently requiring a president to be born in-country has everything to do with preventing despotism. “Hitler was born in Austria. Stalin was born in Georgia.” If Obama was born in Kenya, then– well, thank God for the prescience of the founders, which may save us yet.

(But remember, none of these people are stupid. Cooky liberals just hate and fear honest, rational discourse, so they call people names.)

Re: the Onion, I laughed at “If I could have any super power, it’d definitely be invisibility,” by Superman. He’s given the question lots of thought.

Oops, I meant to have the NRO “labeled cooks” quote in there. Good night all.

Wonkette found someone who claims that the form is fake because it is signed in ballpoint, which “did not exist until 1980s” [apart from the ones first appearing in shops in 1935].

“If I could have any super power, it’d definitely be invisibility,”

I pick “Immunity to being hit over the head with half-full bottles by angry people”.

Wonkette money quote:

See, back in Nixon’s day, everyone was claiming Nixon wasn’t a penguin. “But I am a penguin, you ingrates!” Nixon yelled. He released some tapes, but there was nothing on them about being a penguin. So this is the same thing. It’s Watergate.

Well, I’m convinced: OBAMA ISREAL A PENGUIN

Aha. Another article is shortered thus:

The birth certificate issue will not die because most documentary proof is really based on trust. And that was the problem to start with.

It’s Obama’s fault that they don’t believe him, see?

Apart from the obvious crimes against humanity, what felonies has DOMA committed that entitles it to a lawyer?

Sub’s cook link: Our nation’s founders made birth here a qualification for a reason.

Except, you know, they didn’t or McCain couldn’t have become president either.

While Democrats may have obtained some mileage from their sympathizers based on perceptions of their opponents, to most Americans, I think the refusal to release the best evidence seemed detached from reality.

Refusal! Completely ignoring that he did in fact release what he, and everyone else forever and ever amen, actually received as an official birth certificate from Hawaii and when that wasn’t good enough for these nutbags he had to get a special waiver from the governor to release the actual stored record.

I pick “Immunity to being hit over the head with half-full bottles by angry people”.

Scores of merely miffed people are already beginning to line up while the truly angry finish the bottle.

Except, you know, they didn’t or McCain couldn’t have become president either.

This is good news for John McCain Sarah Palin.

Chris’s PJM link comment mango: BUT … and I forgot the mention this point in response to Wretchard in my comment above … if the original does not exist, then Obama has just doubled down in an exceedingly dangerous fashion. (Behavior not unlike that which he has exhibited in other situations under pressure.)

This after a comment in which he says Occam’s razor tells us there probably isn’t a birth certificate at all… SOMEbody is doubling down anyway.

If he is not telling the truth, well … I do not want to hazard the wrath to come if things unravel for him. But it will certainly be worse than anything we have seen in the closing stages of any POTUS in history. You kind of have to look at examples in other countries for a glimpse of what an enraged populace does in response to that kind of betrayal.

Why not look to our own history, namely the UTTER CHAOS that broke out when someone speculated Chester Arthur was actually IRISH. Or worse yet CANADIAN.

The PJM author in Chris’s link ALMOST gets it: Obama’s supporters will argue that any demand for further proof — tests that we ourselves would not routinely be subjected to — is tantamount to treating him like a felon. It springs from a pre-existing bias. They would be right. The reason people have been looking for the birth certificate isn’t because they mistrust official birth certificates in general. It is because they mistrust Obama.

At least part of this mistrust springs from the reticience[sic] of Obama himself. He has cloaked his school records and civil documents in confidentiality and it was normal to wonder at the contents of a locked box.

We only had a pre-existing bias because he didn’t jump through the crazy hoops we demanded because we were already biased!

Or worse yet CANADIAN.

“where they plucked nene feathers…thanks, NYT crossword!…and dipped them in lava.”

After all that, I would be too intimidated to write anything. “Eggs, milk, toilet paper…”

What I wonder, is who they think would become president if Obama were somehow magically “proven” to be the alien-non-American-blackity-Mooslim-Commufashist-black-Kenyan-black-illegal-anchor-did-we-mention-he’s-black-not-white-other-baby they all think he is? Would that make Biden president, or do they think this would somehow nullify the last election? Do they think John McCain would magically become POTUS, or would we have to have another election? What about laws he has signed since he’s been in office? Obama authorized military action in Libya; is our presence there now illegal?The answer is: WE DON”T KNOW! Declaring Obama to be illigitimate would trigger the biggest constitutional crisis since the Civil War. There would be factions demanding impeachment, others calling for summary removal, others for new elections. There would be McCainists, Bidenists, God-help-us “Boehnerists”, others who would refuse to believe the “evidence” for disqualification, regardless how ironclad, just as the birthers now stubbornly deny the reality of the birth cert. The chaos that would ensue would be far, FAR worse than whatever their fevered imaginations have convinced them has ensued by having an “illigitimate” president!

If Obama were proven ineligible for the presidency, none of the crises you describe would be too much for GOP Daddy-of-the-month. He’d (1) bang some heads, (2) tell ’em to cut the crap, (3) jawbone anyone left standing… In that order, because this is a plan.

I left out a few things like listening to the American people, and then defying the American people because GOP Daddy knows best and is a slave to his principles, but you get the idea.

The Supreme Court had to install Bush (not Gore) ASAP, but we can apparently withstand the chaos you describe so well, or be led through it by GOP Daddies.

Once again, IOKIYAR to be an offensive fucking prick and then act all butthurt when someone returns fire.

Also, if you’re a Republican, you’re not using your time in college wisely.

Truly. I’d go for telekinesis.

As a kid, it was Flight. Nothing more hypothetically viscerally freeing than shuffling off the grip of gravity. Violating one of Nature’s Fundamental Forces. Being able to pee on stuff from the sky. Flight was where it was at.

As a teenager it was Telepathy. Adolescence ravages even the most self-confident and able. At that age, teh ability to know what others really think of you is tantalizingly irresistable. And being able to project thoughts at others – so that they would finally understand what you trying to say? Telepathy is the super-power custom-made for teenagers and that’s not mentioning the ability to cheat on tests by cribbing answers off teh teacher.

If I had to pick a super-power even a few years ago, Telekinesis would have been it. For teh SeXXorZ. Remote fondling? “One-handed typing” with both hands on the keyboard? Being able to reach around without actually having to reach around (totes heterosexually, of course)? Yeah, Telekinesis is teh Sexytime Bomb.

But now that I am older and wiser, I understand that the Ultimate Superpower is BEING TOTES AWESOME. Fortunate for me that the Superpower I would pick is also the one I already have. Or at least that’s what your mom said.

Perhaps they’ll improve slightly when their college studies define irony outside of the literary sense. Right?

I did fantasize about invisibility as kid, but it occurs to me that the only superpower I have DREAMT about (that I can remember) is flight. The urge to fly may be more primal, or just more characteristic of my own psychology.

In addition to many flying dreams, I tend to encounter post-apocalytic cityscapes and dystopias, with or without people and societies. I also get feverish shopping/collecting dreams in which I select from racks or piles of stuff. For ex., as a young man I threw out all my AD&D materials in a fit of maturity. For years after, I was plagued by dreams of buying D&D stuff. My mind can illustrate and generate text for page after page, stuff no Gygax ever wrote but that seems familiar and wholly possible. These particular dreams stopped when I recollected the D&D of my youth in my thirties.

That’s not true. She did a couple of short films when she was young…to help pay for college.

Hey, me too! My flying dreams actually tend to be more like The Matrix than actual flying. I’m usually running away from someone and I can take a whole flight of stairs in one leap.

I also have ongoing dreams about escaping from malevolent forces (including aliens) during post-apocalyptic and dystopian times by hanging out at my paternal grandparents’ house. (Which actually wouldn’t be a terrible place to do that, aside from all the windows).

I don’t dream about shopping, but I do dream about eating massive amounts of food. I knew when I had constant dreams about bacon cheeseburgers that it was time for me to stop being a vegetarian.

On second thought super powers are part-and-parcel of dreaming, esp. for oftimes-lucid dreamers like me, but these dream-powers may lack the feelings or contexts I associate with pop-culture superness.

Do I dare click on that?

I can take a whole flight of stairs in one leap

I’ve got that one too. I also have dreams where I can swim underwater through beautiful seascapes with no scuba or snorkeling gear. Just swimming along, free as a bird. I loathe swimming, since I’ve come close to drowning a couple of times, so go figure. Oh, and sometimes I have dreams that are so funny that I’ll wake myself up laughing.

T&U — all that sounds very familiar, except the food, but I think it’s a similar thing. When I was away from marijuana for years, I would dream about getting it and trying to smoke, esp. inc. hiding or subterfuge, but something would always prevent consummation. I never had those dreams about alcohol or any other drug, in spite of my alcoholism. Not even when I was sober at length.

But you GET to eat in these dreams, interestingly. I never actually get to buy the books or musical instruments, smoke the grass, etc.

Number of Presidents born in Hawaii : 0

During his time as an American envoy to France, Benjamin Franklin, author of the proverb, “Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise,” anonymously published a letter suggesting that Parisians economize on candles by rising earlier to use morning sunlight.[15] This 1784 satire proposed taxing shutters, rationing candles, and waking the public by ringing church bells and firing cannons at sunrise.

Yes. He. Did. Just because it wasn’t _called_ that doesn’t change the fact that it was his invention. An American. And a motherfucker too, so it is said.

Anyways the point is moot since Benjamin Franklin was originally from Toronto.

As Trump has been saying, we don’t really know much about Obama’s academic records do we? What do you think he’s hiding?

Damn canooks need to get your own damn time zones.

In Canada, the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia reckon time specifically as an offset of 4 hours from Greenwich Mean time (GMT-4). (UTC is regularly adjusted by means of leap seconds to keep it synchronized to within 1 second of GMT.) Prince Edward Island and small portions of Quebec (eastern Côte-Nord and the Magdalen Islands) are also part of the Atlantic Standard Time Zone. Officially, the entirety of Newfoundland and Labrador observes Newfoundland Standard Time, but in practice most of Labrador uses the Atlantic Standard Time Zone.

The best bit about going camping with a sheep is that they keep you warm, don’t talk back and you don’t get in trouble for killing and eating them.

Very strange movie. I watched it recently and was left unable to decide if I liked it or not.

What the fuck does this mean?

Harry Morgan was great as hired muscle for a fictionalized Henry Luce in “The Big Clock.” But that was 63 years ago.

Superman has renounced his American citizenship.

The Drudge Report has apparently picked up the story already. Has Fox News started their obligatory outrage-fest yet?

Cannons at sunrise

Thank you so effing much. I am now suffering an earworm of this tune w/ the title lyric replaced by “Fuck me in the mudhole.”

Renouncing the American citizenship.

M*A*S*H, the movie, is much more sophisticated and subtle than the series, with less broad humor and fewer one-dimensional cliche characterizations. Classic Robert Altman–one of his earliest, IIRC. Sally Kellerman as Hotlips, also, too, with a SHOWER SCENE!

(OK, the shower scene is like .000001 seconds, but HAWT)

i think it’s the fact that the sheep isn’t wearing a helmut…

Odysseus: The surviving crew-members and I escaped the cave of Polyphemus by clinging to the bellies of sheep…
Justice Cocklecarrot: The court has heard this excuse several times already today.

Superman has renounced his American citizenship.

Oh, my.

In the story, Superman is scolded by a member of the president’s security staff for appearing at a protest in Iran, with the notion that Superman’s actions reflect the positions of US government as a whole.

Awesome. I don’t follow Superman comics, but the story seems to’ve been phrased as “damn government bureaucrat criticizes Superman for associating the U.S. with the Green Revolution.” Try to spin a “liberal bias” story out of that one.

what’s wrong in this picture?

The motorcycle is overloaded. Shame!

Also: overloading the motorbike

Fine movie. I never watched the teevee series.

‘Try to spin a “liberal bias” story out of that one.’

They’ve done it. The comics news site I read was flooded with wingnuts complaining about the liberal commie globalist propaganda ruining an “American Icon” (that was co-created by a Canadian).

At the same time, these morons will complain about Obama’s birth certificate. Superman was literally not born in America. His birth certificate was faked. Jesus.

M*A*S*H* was the first R-rated movie I ever saw (yes, in the theatre and not the edited version that’s available these days). Also the first time I ever saw a representation of people smoking pot.

It was an eye-opener in many way, oh yes it was. Also, second the w00t! for Sally Kellerman as Hotlips. *melt*

MASH was a good movie, and the TV series was pretty good, at least when it was silly fun and not a demonstration of Alan Alda’s mawkishness.

I should add that the TV Frank Burns is THE LIVING MODEL of the wingnut.

The other thing about the MASH movie, and the part that’s usually tastefully excised when it’s shown on cable these days, was its brutal portrayal of the actual blood & gore of surgery. This was the early 70″s remember, and that kind of up-close depiction just wasn’t the done thing–especially in a comdey. It’s still pretty graphic even by today’s standards, if you can catch the unedited version.

The M*A*S*H* theme song is “Suicide is Painless”.

One of many themes and hits featuring the guitar work of Tommy Tedesco.

And of course back then, when TV was SO FUCKING AWESOME America’s favorite humorist was writing MASH scripts.

Superman has renounced his American citizenship.

Yes, I blasted these suckers straight outa my thinkbox.

I should add that the TV Frank Burns is THE LIVING MODEL of the wing-nut.

I dunno, I think Burns is just a typical American doctor. Col. Flagg would be actual wing-nut material.

“Nobody can get the truth out of me because even I don’t know what it is. I keep myself in a constant state of utter confusion.”

Movie is great. Bobbo “Two Hearts” Altman rules!

Col. Flagg would be actual wing-nut material.

Col. Flagg is courageous. Frank Burns is not.

Jim Treacher plays Superman for laughs:

Whatever. We all know what this is really about. It’d be one thing if Superman renounced his U.S. citizenship under The Evil George Bush. But we put a black man in charge, and all of a sudden the Man of Steel heads for the exits? Nice try, Kracker-El. You might as well trade in that red cape for a white hood and join the Kryptonian Klux Klan.

Ho ho Jim, you’ve gotten to the essence of why you give a shit about this. But heed your commenters!

I appreciate the spirit of the article but this is not a laughing matter. As Andrew Breitbart says- the culture is far more important than politics. And these leftist bastards have just managed to destroy one of the true, great, AMERICAN icons.

If those of us who still cherish our constitution and the liberty it represents do not make our stand in the HERE AND NOW no one will! No more shrugging off this type of insideous garbage from croney capitalist america!

Someone who actually knows about that shit chimes in:

Wwwwwooow, from 0 to race war in nothing flat, huh Jim? For all ya non-nerds out there, the DC Universe canon has had several minority US Presidents so far. Mexican-American Democratic candidate Martin Suarez was endorsed by both Superman and Batman (as Bruce Wayne). Having won by a hefty margin, President Suarez – at least I’m pretty sure – is still the President of the United States in the current DC “New Earth” (their primary world) storyline. Near as I can recall, George W. Bush and Barack Obama don’t exist in the DC “New Earth” storyline. The last “real world” POTUS was Bill Clinton, before Lex Luthor cheated his way in. Superman is so ho-hum, and he’s struggled with the implications of his citizenship several times over the years. The dude abandoned Earth several times, already. IMHO, Booster Gold is the true capitalist patriot of the DC Universe!

Once again, the idiots have no idea what their icon represents. The man was conceived by immigrants as a story of the immigrant’s experience in America. And yes, consciously or unconsciously, they portrayed him as an illegal immigrant living under a false identity.

All this fuss over an illegal alien who wears his underwear over his pants.

Except that he’s not illegal. Under US law, foundlings can be legally adopted, resulting in US citizenship. So Clark Kent is a legal citizen. I don’t think his Superman persona would face any citizenship issues as long as he didn’t try to get a job or vote or engage in any other public activities. Of course, Superman couldn’t testify in court, which makes the whole crimefighting thing problematic.

Hey tsam, nice to see ya back.

Please! Superman is even worse than you think. He is a rootless cosmopolitan, as proved by the United Nations voting him citizenship in every nation, so he won’t violate any country’s airspace.

OK, it was the legalistic minds at DC, almost fifty yrs. ago, but you get the idea.

He is a rootless cosmopolitan

Being a space alien whose home planet was destroyed, he’s probably the most rootless cosmopolitan of them all.

Superman can be a real dick sometimes.

For years I’ve received spam in pairs, with one email offering me penis enlargement and the follow-up offering breast enlargement. (The spammers obviously think I lead a more exciting life than I actually do.) Lately, those pairs have been supplanted by pairs offering gold bars and replicas of Kate Middleton’s ring.

I considered this sufficient evidence of America’s decline.

Horde gold, N_B. Apparently it has the magical quality of not having intrinsic value based solely on a confidence that it will buy goods and services. These emails are just trying to help.

Plus Kate’s ring is probably what any modern man would consider “badass”.

Maybe this was actually Allah’s wrath

That’s Orly Taintz. This weather is Mother Nature’s wrath. We had a kegger over the weekend and didn’t clean up. She’s pissed.

That’s true, but the guy’s not wrong in this case. If you work you pay an involuntary SSI tax for the purpose of collecting retirement and/or disability income later. It’s not welfare, it’s insurance.

Here’s a test for anyone who considers himself “anti”-(whatever) or “pro”-(whatever). Look around, and see if you can define a group of people (or even a single person) who is seriously advocating a position that can be defined as “pro” whatever you are “anti” or vice-versa. If you are a passionate advocate for “limited government”, ask yourself who is in favor of “unlimited government”. If you are “pro-life”, look around and see who is fighting for the “anti-life” position. If you can’t find anyone who labels themselves that way (never mind the slurs you tar them with), then you, sir, are being used as a tool.

Steve,

This morning you prefaced a many minutes long segment saying “if you didn’t get up to watch the royal wedding…”. The reason we didn’t get up to watch the royal wedding was because we don’t care a fat flying Philadelphia fiddler’s fuck about it. Next time you plan to waste a large chunk of air time and my time going on about a story that belongs on Entertainment Tonight stop and fucking think about it.

Sincerely,
Your Audience

I really like the dreams where one discovers (it always feels like re-discovery, ‘Oh yeah I forgot about this part) whole sections of one’s house, barn or buildings. They are peculiarly enjoyable and optimistic dreams and I always feel great when I wake up from them. The ones where you find yourself at the final exam for a class that you had never gone to, not so much.

The reason we didn’t get up to watch the royal wedding was because we don’t care a fat flying Philadelphia fiddler’s fuck about it.

That’s not true. I didn’t get up because (a) I forgot it was taking place and (b) I’m sick as a dog. (Items a and b may be related through massive consumption of Sudafed.)

Steve,

Awesome.

Also, too: Mother Jones has done a really spectacular job of examining how and why all of us but especially conservatives are nearly impervious to fact based argument.

Actually, the whole Fact Free Nation section is really good. Highly recommended.

Apparently not every one of the Empire’s subjects are enamoured of the event.

I totally agree with Hinderaker but he needn’t worry because the hoverround shylocks will get theirs once collecting interest officially becomes haraam.

Hmmm, does it seem to anyone else that the Prince is missing his crown?

It’s all about synergy. Nothing highlights the penis quite like a pair of tits, and vice versa. And the more gold bars you have, the more replica rings (and other things) you can buy. Enlargements, and round you go in a spiral ascent to awesome.

Well, it doesn’t matter because one commenter notes that

Christianity is not “about loving another person to the end.” It’s about believing in the resurrection of Christ. The “god is love” clap-trap is (a) not Christianity, and (b) a rationalisation that allows a person to justify conduct that would make any sober person blush.

Yeah, when I heard whoever say they are “tea party patriots” I broke my coffee mug. On the wall opposite.

Tea-party patriots…

I think if I ever encountered the phrase “liberal patriots” in the mainstream I’d go into shock.

It has just been passed that it is illegal in Arizona to own more than 5 dildos. Now figure it out – they debated this long and hard in the state legislature. What is the right number? What is the maximum conscionable number of dildos that a human being may possess in the state of Arzona, and 5 was the answer. Now I wanna know how they’re gonna enforce the Arizona dildo law? Are we gonna have dildo police coming to your home? (Tap-tap-tap) “Dildo Police! How many you got in there? Comin’ in. Uh-uh, 6. You’re under arrest! Ladies and gentlemen I present to you 6 Dildo Bob – he’s goin’ down the river for 15 years!”

This is absurd. These people are earning a salary from drafting legislation and this is what they did. That’s Arizona so come on California people we gotta catch up. Don’t you think we need our own dildo law, with perhaps a death penalty attached?

The “god is love” clap-trap is (a) not Christianity, and (b) a rationalisation that allows a person to justify conduct that would make any sober person blush.

BLUSHING IS THEFT!

Christianity is not “about loving another person to the end.” It’s about believing in the resurrection of Christ. The “god is love” clap-trap is (a) not Christianity, and (b) a rationalisation that allows a person to justify conduct that would make any sober person blush.

Yes, I’ve heard all this stuff about how the namby-pamby wimps are corrupting Christianity with all their “love” rot. Presumably Jesus heard about it too, because he felt it important to leave the following notice behind:

28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”

29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[b] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[c] There is no commandment greater than these.”

No, Christianity isn’t solely about “believing” in the resurrection (if it was, the devil would be a Christian, since he also knows about God and the resurrection and all that, which I believe the Bible also notes). It’s about believing in him, and following his teachings: the above quote was what he himself rated highest among these.

If you cannot love other people to the end as well as God, you’re dysfunctional as a Christian (never mind a human being). So forgive us if we keep pointing out that 1) it is what Christianity’s all about, and 2) your merry “fuck the poor” and “kill the Others” word-vomit sessions are in violation of the religion you claim to follow.

You’ve got it wrong Chris. Christ was all about that shit. Christianity has very little to do with Christ.

“If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t help the poor, either we’ve got to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we’ve got to acknowledge that he commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don’t want to do it.” ~ Stephen Colbert

‘Christianity is not “about loving another person to the end.’

Ah yes, as it says in the Bible…

For I was hungry and you called me a leech for using food-stamps: I was thirsty and you contaminated my water supply with toxic chemicals: I was a stranger and you made sure I couldn’t get into your gated community:

Naked, and you called me a slut who was asking for it: I was sick, and you cut off my healthcare: I was in prison, and you gave me the death penalty.

And the king shall say unto them, Verily I say unto you, that you do unto the least of my brothers is A-OK by me.

Chris invariably says what I am thinking, only he says it first and better.

It is on these bases that I concluded that Chris is a punk.

Re: Six-Dildo Bob of Arizona:

Well, if you count the ears, that’s five holes. Men deserve equal protection under the law, so they get a superfluous fifth dildo. Women have a lower center of gravity and higher tolerance for pain, but like Harrison Bergeron, the full exercise of their capacities must be denied them in the collective interest.

I thought Arizona politics sucked when I lived there (c. 95-03), but it turns out I lacked imagination. I bet my reasoning above is sounder than what was heard in the AZ legislature.

Look, when I said, “It is only through Grace that we are saved”, I just meant that you can’t buy salvation from the pope.

I DID NOT mean it was okay to be a colossal asshole your whole life. Maybe I should have phrased it differently.

“I DID NOT mean it was okay to be a colossal asshole your whole life. ”

I, however, am completely okay with it.

Lex Luthor is pleased.

No, Christianity isn’t solely about “believing” in the resurrection (if it was, the devil would be a Christian, since he also knows about God and the resurrection and all that, which I believe the Bible also notes).

This is awesome, Chris.

This is one of the fun things about un-nested threads.

Dildos

A superior punk!

Also too, PM said it better with the Christ/Christianity distinction. Gandhi would have approved.

Well, if you count the ears, that’s five holes.

So the nostrils don’t count? I haz a confooz…

Finally! Took me a while to find the link. Nature’s fury.

The doctrine of sola fide is bereft. Period. If Martin Luther didn’t see that his protest against Vatican corruption was open to Joel Osteenism then Martin Luther’s really not a credible thinker.

The doctrine of sola fide is bereft

I think it’s a reasonable interpretation of the parable of the vineyard, so I wouldn’t say “bereft”. I lean towards the “faith without works is empty” argument, but I can see where it makes some theological sense.

As for Luther…the abuses he was arguing against were so profound that you can’t really blame him for not thinking the matter through.

At the risk of continuing this conversation with an empty room, I don’t see the vineyard story that way. Jesus is talking about working in the vineyard, not looking at it and telling Jesus how swell it is. It’s is valuable (from the missionary’s point of view), however, because you can say God offers a middle-aged or even elderly convert the same chance at Heaven that He offers a baptized infant.

Fair point on Luther.

‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

What, I have to jerk him off, too? [/Dangerfield]

Wasn’t it Melancthon who did most of the thinkin theology stuff?

(vaguely remembers kollidge)

“Dildos

Also, too

Look, when I said, “It is only through Grace that we are saved”

Tell me more about Grace. Picture also kthnx.

Imagine the shrieking and howling from the wingnuts if some state passed a law saying you could only own five guns.
