In Case You Were Wondering What Adam Has Been Up To
Posted on October 30th, 2011 by Tintin
ABOVE: Adam Yoshida
Shorter Adam Yoshida, The
AmericanCanadian Stinker
Could We See World War Three in Our Lifetimes?
- The only way to avoid war is to declare war on a bunch of countries.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
Damn! I hate it when conservatives insist on sharing their creepy sexual fantasies with the rest of us.
What do you mean “could we”? Or “Three”?
lol. Adam is an ‘AmericanThinker’, too?

Because clearly the thing Adam Yoshida needed to be taken seriously was a stupid bowtie.
Adam is an ‘AmericanThinker’, too?
Only for all values of “American”= vile Canukistanian infidel furriner and all values of “thinker”=braindead nonsentient netbot.
Because clearly the thing Adam Yoshida needed to be taken seriously was a stupid bowtie.
Sadly, in young Adamned’s case, it actually does make him look more serious.
He’s George Effin’ Will’s MiniMe.

So “sober” now means worrying that China will start a war before they try political reform, because they are in an unsustainable bubble and have more men than women due to the one child policy. And worrying that Greece, for instance, might seek to “truly defy a pan-European consensus” and that that might cause “military action against them” that “might be trumped up by the Franco-German alliance”. And the “potential” for Iran to develop a nuclear bomb. (You never know when potential might rear its ugly head.) And that Turkey and the U.S. might get involved in a shooting war because Turkey appears to have “a secret ambition” to recreate the Ottoman Empire. And that Mexico’s problems with drug lords and the “ten million” Mexicans living illegally in the U.S. could start a war. It’s difficult for this guy to see how this problem can’t be resolved without “some sort of conflict.” And the grand slam— You see, “when you consider them as a whole, they create a real risk of a cascade of chaos that could consume the whole world.” This last statement reminds me of the wonderful description of an economic collapse of the American South as foretold by SadlyNo!
I don’t think this guy would know sober leadership if it jumped up and bit his ass.
He’s George Effin’ Will’s MiniMe.
You know you are fucking doomed when you make Tucker Carlson look serious and thoughtful.
I don’t think this guy would know sober leadership if it jumped up and bit his ass.
I doubt that he has had a sober moment since his 13th birthday (which may have been last week).
Quotes from this remarlkable young man
Referring the long-time Liberal Government of Canada:
“They put their stamp on every institution in this country – a Maple Leaf-shaped boot stamping down across the Canadian face forever.”
and, in a “recommendation” to a future Conservative Government:
” A large-scale buildup of the Armed Forces will do more than prepare Canada to fight in an increasingly-dangerous world, but it will also create a powerful military-industrial complex that a future Liberal government would be loathe to confront.”
Hence the American war machine, and hence the one developing in Canada. It’s not about external enemies at all, is it. And it never was. Scratch a conservative, find a fascist. Every Single Gorammed Time.
May this little creep DIAVSF.
Ok, I tried to take his thesis seriously for a second, and even accepting his paranoid worst case scenarios I still don’t get how a bunch of regional or country specific wars amounts to WW3.
The whole 18th and 19th century are chalk full of local wars and even some bigger ones between the colonial powers, but none of these are generally consider “world wars.”
WW1 had that whole set of interlocking inflexible treaties and WW2 had that “madman in charge of a major industrial power” thing. I see neither feature today.
” A large-scale buildup of the Armed Forces will do more than prepare Canada to fight in an increasingly-dangerous world, but it will also create a powerful military-industrial complex that a future Liberal government would be loathe to confront.”
Another point for “evil” in the grand stupid versus evil debate about conservatives.
Tell you what Adam, when you’ve got as many combat hours in your logbook as I do feel free to lecture me on military matters. Until then STFU.

Speaking of George Eff Will…

Who is China going to attack?
Russia? Nukes.
India? Nukes.
Taiwan? US law requiring it to defend the island, and again, Nukes.
Maybe they’ll invade Mongolia or Laos or Bhutan or one of the Stans, and that would be bad, but not a world war. I guarantee America wouldn’t intervene in any of that.
I still insist that bow ties are cool. Yoshida looks like a douche because he is a douche.
I took the time to get the spelling of “Venkman” right, but I didn’t bother to proofread the rest of the nym.
Go me!
a Maple Leaf-shaped boot
Boy, those sure must make it hard for the Liberal Government to walk.
You can almost hear the violent fapping as he types one handed. He is truly deranged.
We used to wargame a scenario where China and Vietnam, plus other regional players fought over the Spratley Islands – which have oil reserves and are contested by several countries.
Not sure how likely China would want to tangle with Vietnam again. They got their asses handed to them by the Vietnamese second string in 1979 (the Vietnamese first-string were busy cleaning up the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia).
It’s the fact that the President is a Democrat, and he’s black, isn’t it?
No. The Nazis refrained from using chemical weapons in battle for the same reason that chemical weapons were so eagerly banned after WW I—you’re as likely to kill yourselves as well as anyone else, and it created paranoia and fear that made it difficult for the troops to advance after launching a chemical attack because no one could tell if the air was still poisoned without taking a big breath and seeing if it kills you.
You can almost hear the violent fapping as he types one handed.
As I said up top. Very disturbing. This young man desperately needs to seek help for his sexual addiction.
Wiley, you’ve mentioned before that you were in the Air Force?
DIAVSF.
whoa…vs has her own fires now? cool!
also, too…i am fairly impressed that the st. ronnie fellating didn’t occur until the last paragraph…wtf?
also, too, again…i apologize for drunk posting last nite…however, i am still whizzed off at the lack of recognition of brilliance regarding my halloween costume…tomorrow my key club kiddies, the daughter and i have the honor of working the games at our nursing home’s halloween carnival…those old fuckers better fucking get it…
the st. ronnie fellating didn’t occur until the last paragraph…wtf?
There is growing evidence the Ronnie did actually raise taxes on rich people, seriously tarnishing his halo.
Gone are the days of ZombieRonnie rising up to save the world.(can’t risk higher taxes) Nowadays he can only add his blessings to a call for violence and oppression.
Ya. I was in the Air Force. ’78-’82
Oh geez … I am SO sorry this schmeeb is a Canuck.
As “unsettled” as during the Berlin Blockade? The Cuban Misslie Crisis? The implosion of the Soviet Bloc? I must be missing one major bitch of a crisis somewhere … is he referring to the thing with Bette Midler ragging on Lady Gaga for stealing her “mermaid drag in a wheelchair” routine? Don’t worry, Adam: I hear Le Gaga & Dame Bette kissed & made up, for reals!
Yeah, I’m sure Turkey is dying to go to war with its main source of military hardware, just like the US can’t wait to bomb its #1 customer for war-toys. Adam’s ambition appears to be blowing smoke up his own arse & it is most certainly NOT a secret.
Maybe we’ll get lucky & he’ll celebrate next Earth Day by running his SUV in the garage with the door closed?
I still insist that bow ties are cool.
A man’s tie should point downward, to emphasize his genitals. Why would you trust a man whose tie points sideways, emphasizing his ears?

get out! so was hubbkf! do you know him?!?!?
however, i am still whizzed off at the lack of recognition of brilliance regarding my halloween costume
I missed that part of the thread and can’t be arsed…what’s the costume?
Why would you trust a man whose tie points sideways, emphasizing his ears?
hey, a gal needs something to hold on to…
I missed that part of the thread and can’t be arsed…what’s the costume?
devil in a blue dress…only two people *got it*…but one was 24 year old officer hottie who told me that’s one of his favorite songs…and he’s a real cop…not a pretend one…saw a lot of those last night…i didn’t realize that law enforcement nowadays is made up of scantily dressed whores…
Heh. With my help, Mrs__B has settled on her first-ever costume for work tomorrow, and it’s an obscure one: a half-mask borrowed from a friend, some blood dripping down her face below the mask, and an old-fashioned-looking dress.
Any E.A. Poe fans out there?
get out! so was hubbkf! do you know him?!?!?
Maybe. I was in the 2nd Communications Squadron at Buckley, Field Colorado. Was stationed on Lowry AFB in Denver.
then, I went to Bremerhaven, Germany and was in the 606 TCS (traveling circus and sideshow), stationed on Karl Shurtz Kazerne.
I was an Aerospace and Warnings Systems Operator, or “scope dope”.
Oh—and I went to tech school twice in Biloxi, Mississippi. Haven’t slept. Can’t remember the name of that base right now.
I’m pretty sure that we have always been at war with Eurasia.
Or somewhere east of there
Isn’t kiwiland somewhere near them parts, A.K.?

In the friggin wasteland now, thunder. but never mind I’m sure our new overlords will look after us

In my fantasies? Oh, absolutely.
Looks like after blowing all his money on utility bills, he has managed to get the his internet service turned back on.
hehhehheh…you said blowing!
Scantily dressed whores is what Halloween is all about!
I thought it was about buying loads of candy, pretending it is for children.
And that Turkey and the U.S. might get involved in a shooting war because Turkey appears to have “a secret ambition” to recreate the Ottoman Empire.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and speculate that “last night’s session of solitaire Risk” is not a solid foundation for foreign policy.
Just looking at that picture makes me want to take a shower.
These creepy little creeps don’t want war for any rational reason, they want war because they’re perpetual 12-year-olds who think war would be SO COOL because there would be all these super-cool weapons and espionage and intrigue and maybe I’d get to score with a super-hot foreign agent and POW! BAM! KABLOOIE!
Yuck. Isn’t this little twerp also an objectivist? It’s like everything I hate wrapped up into one horrible package.
Hallowe’en is all about buying loads of scantily dressed whores, pretending they are for children.
That’s what I heard at S,N!
I’m waiting to buy mine on the day after when they go on sale.
Traditions!
Hallowe’en is all about buying loads of scantily dressed whores, pretending they are for children.
plus alcohol.
On the plus side, it is raining here for Trick-or-Treat time, so nobody is going around to the houses. All this candy is for US!
Oh—and I went to tech school twice in Biloxi, Mississippi. Haven’t slept. Can’t remember the name of that base right now.
You’re thinking of Keesler AFB
I was in the 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale. B-52 driver (obviously).
And this is why Major Kong should get a B-52 (Bombers R us.com) and bring the sadlies to NZ for a summertime Christmas. I don’t think it’s too much to ask.
World War Three?
Yes, that’s obviously inches away. World War One was a mess of treaties getting most of the major world powers stuck in a conflict with each other. And World War Two was basically a madman who wanted to take over the world and had the military machine to do so, which was only really a “world” conflict rather than a trans-european one, because of Japan and its desire to get its violent expansion on, USA involvement near the end of the war, and of course the last gasp of colonialism that was occurring during the war including the adventures in Africa to try and shift around who owned what.
Hell, there’s probably a historic case for arguing that we’ve already had World War Three and it was the Cold War, what with two major superpowers trying to get at each other in proxy regional conflicts with “vassal states” and constantly threatening the entire world with annihilation if the other side didn’t praise their dick size enough.
And it’s pretty obvious someone misses that state of affairs and is trying to bring back the existential dread that made it so easy to sell conservative foreign and domestic policy.
But let’s go mango hunting.
You really wouldn’t want to ride in one.
As big as they are, most of that is stuffed full of fuel and electronics. They didn’t leave much room for the crew. There were 6 ejection seats for the crew, plus 3 jump-seats for instructors.
Plus what they called the “10th man” seat – which was sitting on the floor with your back to the instructor pilot’s jump seat. I had to sit in that “seat” for 10 hours once just so I could get 10 minutes in the pilot’s seat to get one air refueling to keep my monthly currency.
They’re also incredibly noisy inside. So loud that you could only talk over the intercom.
Let’s start a war! Because mangos are money!
What present trends? The cooldown of the blowback from our new colonialism experiment under Bush? The fact that some countries aren’t bowing under our giant cock? The fact that any country with sense is trying to achieve financial independence from us because of our tendency to crash the world economy?
That was three months, and now he has a book. I’m not dissing fast writing, but what he’s basically saying here is that he rambled on for 250 pages, shat it into a pdf and is now trying to hock it to the rubes he scares so they can keep him in his house for another year. So, really the present trend he is worried about is the present trend of his mortgage coming due.
Irresolute? Irresolute? You think that World War Two was caused by people being “irresolute”? Okay, fine, let’s play with that. Who’s Germany right now? Who has an overwhelming military force and investment that threatens neighboring superpowers and a right-wing underbelly that threatens to take over the operating systems by force or deception and otherwise intends to use the military apparatus for undesired invasions of sovereign nations?
Hint, it starts with an U and ends in a nited States of America.
That wasn’t World War Two’s problem. They didn’t think “Hey, let’s solve the Hitler problem next year”, they made some choices that they thought a settlement of basic grievances and the surrender of some less valued sovereign nations would curb the bloodlust and Hitler wouldn’t come after them. With the military machine, it’s not even a good bet that proactive military assault would have worked like they intended as a lot of Hitler’s military success came in the exploitation of “strong zones” that weren’t as strong after the military advances that had occurred between the wars so that a couple country buffer zone could be rolled over in a week bypassing strong defenses.
Having those forces inside german territory as German tanks rolled into France probably wouldn’t have worked any better.
Also, invasion as first plan, and having the world hope the country will stop after a few unloved countries were taken over and invaded pretty well describes the world’s response to America over our Iraq and Afghanistan adventures of stupidity. So, again, the “existential threat” is us and our trigger-happy military apparatus when in the hands of wingnuts.
Okay, so what are the mangos of WORLD WAR THREE?
Seriously? China’s oncoming implosion is a “global threat” on par with motherfucking Hitler? Yeah, they might even do some invasions, but they’ll probably stick to central Asian nations that have found massive reserves of oil and natural gas to try and corner that to have a chip to bargain with when their economy goes pear-shaped either because they are way too tied to our fail machine of an economy or because of their short-sighted children policy.
Wait a minute.
“reckless pursuit of short-term growth as a substitute for political reform”. Um… doesn’t that describe to a T the American capitalist system, recklessly pursuing the best angle for non-stop profit and trying desperately to fend off much needed political reform to prevent straight up criminal abuses, the continued suffering of anyone outside the 1% and a complete and utter collapse? And frankly, we’re more militaristic than China is and more likely to do something stupid if we collapse. China is kinda prepped for it since they’ve abandoned communism entirely for this weird sort of fascist capitalism thing.
Seriously? The made-up debt crisis bullshit?!? I know you wingnuts have a buzzword quota for all your posts so that your chimp readers “encounter this problem everywhere and it has them worried”, but how is this supposed to fucking matter?
Also, global debt loads? Um, there is no such thing. The world doesn’t owe some alien overlord, they owe each other or citizens who are invested in the debt. A “global default” would matter balls all, just like Europe owing us a shit-ton after World War Two didn’t start World War Three between us and the Western European nations.
Yes!
They might use it like North Korea did.
You know, as a deterrent against invasion by better armed neighbors and a mad America who has been itching to start something with them for a good long while now.
They might even make some empty threats to try and gain some minor political power or economic concessions. Hitler’s war machine this is not.
And frankly the “they’ll get the bomb and then!” threat lost a lot of fear potential after North Korea got the bomb, with their insane leader and abused populace and did nada with it. Nothing against South Korea, nothing against Japan, nothing against US west coast. It’s a safety blanket at this point. Something to keep Mad America away from their borders. Again, Iran getting a nuke or not only matters in as much as our desperate desire to use that threat as an excuse to wipe Iran off the map.
Again, the Hitler-esque threat is that shadowy force of evil known as USA-stan.
Again, nice to see the buzzwords but how is this a Hitler level threat. We’ve had illegal immigration, fuck every country has had illegal immigration or violation of borders for centuries, we’ve even cheered a bunch of it like when East Germans tried to illegally violate the border agreements and became illegal West German citizens.
Oh, right, the wingnut new conspiracy theory that all these people coming out of economic depression of border towns caused by us to try and live in the USA and become responsible members of our society aren’t just people trying to find enough to live and find opportunity but rather the front men for an invasion force of Mexico to annex parts of the US.
Given history, I feel safe calling that projection. We’re far more likely to decide our military force means we can try and expand our borders than it is for Mexico to decide to invade and expect the tanks to not just roll straight into Mexico City the next day.
Again, this is a buzzword and has no connection to a Hitler-level threat. Oh, noes! Hell, it’s not even really true. Yeah Europe is hurting, but that’s more because we, good ol USA tanked the goddamn global economy. European nations on the most part are doing well based on how unconnected they were to us and how well they resisted objectivist fairy tales on how they could become a “European powerhouse” in the economy by following libertarian Free Trade horseshit.
And yeah, not really related to war. Unless you think Germany or England is going to start shooting each other over an economic downturn and wouldn’t instead wait until a dodgy World Cup Final like they’re supposed to!
With that smattering of horseshit?
Well, absent the rogue element of an unhinged American foreign policy headed by morons like you?
Pretty much nothing. Europe will try and learn their lessons about economic distance from America and the values of socialist economies like Scandanavia which has shown almost no downturn, Iran may pursue a nuke, but will pretty much only use it to try and prevent the invasion America has been howling for since 2003, China will collapse as “evil foreign boogeyman who will totally take over and make us all vassals of non-white people” object of fear, but might try and secure some natural resources. Any conflict will be related to our unwillingness to move away from oil because oil barons own our government and thus again, whether or not we try and invade and start a shooting war in one of our patented foolish expeditions to try and secure the dwindling oil supplies. And things like the debt crisis don’t even deserve a response.
So, yeah, we could face World War Three if we decide to start World War Three which has been the case since the Soviet Bloc collapsed and we were the sole remaining superpower and hell, probably before since we were always the more insane and trigger-happy superpower.
I don’t know how this is related to “irresolute policies by the West” unless you think that the other countries should be invading us before we decide to unilaterally start WW3 because President Perry demanded it.
Which if you’re saying that, kudos on a hell of a risky policy position for a right-wing nutjob, and a true sober analysis of the greatest threat to world peace right now.
FYWP, it ate my long breakdown of his bullshit “troubling signs”.
Shorter me, none of the troubling signs are troubling absent a psychotic gorilla named the USA deciding to use them as bullshit justification to go on a Conquer-the-world spree and so arguing that they are “dangerous” because of “irresolute policies by the West” is just laughingly bullshit.
He also basically cited three right-wing buzzwords unrelated to global conflict: the made up “global debt crisis”, illegal immigration, and “China’s reckless pursuit of short term growth as a substitute for political reform” which better describes the American failcomony and our responses to it, so score one for team projection. Also Europe’s “lacksadasical economic integration” which is a completely made up problem about Europe’s economic woes which basically hit as strong as the economies were connected to our fail or pursued Libertarian policies at the behest of Objectivists like him (Scandanavian countries barely blinked during the “global collapse”). You’ll note these are all just right-wing memes related to other scares and have nothing to do with military threat.
His sole potentially military threat was Iran might get the bomb which is only a problem in our desire to use that as a precursor to invasion. Hell, Iran should get the bomb since that is a really good way to prevent invasion from Mad Man America.
So, yeah, the existential, Hitlerian threat to World Peace is essentially just us deciding to go apeshit over made-up horseshit so I’m not sure where the “irresolve” comes in outside all the countries in the world needing to invade us before we get the chance to elect President Perry.
Mango bomb!
We elected a black man! And he’s a Democrat to boot!
Oh hey, halfway through a bunch of unconnected buzzwords and “I iz smart guy blather”, we finally get to the real bug up his ass.
We’ve noticed we’re spending more than the rest of the world combined on the Military and maybe we don’t need that to fight some pissants in the desert so maybe we can actually cut a little and put it to work actually helping people rather than propping up the erections of wingnuts.
And to people like Yoshida, that’s akin to chopping up his penis and denying him access to his pornography for weeks! And he’s not going to stand here as people think about maybe, cutting off just a little waste here and there, but not real cuts, no no, that would be being “weak on foreign policy”. THAT’S THE REAL HITLER!
And besides, we’ll need that Stealth Bomber to drop a new ICBM on the debt crisis!
…
Yes, without “American leadership” (I’m sorry, did I miss the memo where minor cuts to our overblown military budget meant we were going to shut our doors completely) then there’d just be chaos everywhere.
Like the ethnic cleansing and segregation in Iraq or the rule of tribal warlords in Afghanistan or the setback of popular revolutions in the middle east when we decided to stick our dick in it and make it all about the “West’s important contribution to the fight for democracy”
Yes, those poor blighted vassal nations would be powerless to determine their destiny without us to serve as the great Satan, blundering in like an idiot and blowing up everything in a thousand mile radius.
a world without American leadership will be an anarchic place where, without anyone able to assert himself, more and more states will be tempted to resort to aggression to achieve their foreign policy objectives.
Shorter – If we don’t start enough wars someone else might start wars.
1. I am relieved that he decided on Narrative to relate his history, rather than (for instance) interpretative dance, or flower-arranging.
2. Is he selling his e-book through Amazon?
Ok, now we get him trying to use logic to connect these unconnected right-wing memes into “we need more bombs”. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I dunno, probably by trying to learn lessons from our Ruling Class’s mistakes and thus try and avoid taunting the poor seeking restitution nor claiming that they’ll never let things improve.
I dunno, they went from communist to fascist capitalist to avoid one form of collapse. Sadly, the ruling party is probably well established to avoid the consequences of that. If it did end, they’d go down like any other tyrannical power. Oh wait, they’re the YELLOW MENACE! Okay, grr, China bad, commies, take over America.
Uh huh. Or their economy is completely tied into ours and relies entirely on ours and so lives or dies by our success or failure. The “growth ending” would be America collapsing again. Our military power doesn’t matter shit all to them compared to our economic power.
If it came to a military showdown, they have quite a few nukes themselves. Us being belligerent would be about as meaningful as our old staredowns against the Soviet Union except the Chinese weren’t stupid enough the first time to destroy their economy to “keep up” and so is unlikely to fall for it a second.
Yes…that…totally….follows…logically…Too many men, equals call to war.
You got us there. We don’t really spend much time imagining a non-existant conflict that couldn’t matter less to us and which we’d be powerless to stop regardless. China is currently mobilizing and “cheating on the borders” to secure the Central Asian oil and natural gas boom that was discovered and ensure the pipelines go to them. We don’t make a fuss because they’ve got nukes and even with all our spending, we’re not going to get into a straight-up conflict with China.
Huh, that sounds more like the US and its foreign policy of reckless and unsubtle invasions of sovereign nations for resources that it needs. But yes, of course, loose cannon America equals hero, China bad and all yellow and foreign with its Asian commieness and BE SCARED damn you!
Hell, there’s probably a historic case for arguing that we’ve already had World War Three and it was the Cold War, what with two major superpowers trying to get at each other in proxy regional conflicts with “vassal states” and constantly threatening the entire world with annihilation if the other side didn’t praise their dick size enough.
Last time (a while ago admittedly) that I looked at GlobalSecurity.Org, they were referring to the war on terror as “World War Four,” with the implication that the Cold War had been the third one like you said. I don’t know if any real historians hold that view of it, though (I’d imagine not).
Wonder if that ever would happen again, though. Not that I’m buying what Canucklehead’s selling, but mankind’s capacity for war being what it is, we may in fact end up seeing a war between two major nuclear powers at some point. 🙁
I can has the Batley Townswomen’s Guild re-enactment of “The Blast of War: A Narrative History of the Third World War”? Kthnxbai
Also too Adam’s picture could only be improved by the addition of the captioned words
F. H. GUMBY. REGIUS PROFESSOR OF HISTORY AT HIS MOTHER'SOi, this shit just goes on and on. H/t to wiley for his concise reduction of what is said.
Yup, he goes on about how Greece will start a shooting war in Europe over debt crisis bullshit. Yeah, cause Greece really thinks it could withstand a European invasion.
Also, weren’t the wingnuts all, “EU evil, EU will never succeed” and all that crap, because what would happen if “European consensus was defied” would be the dissolution of the EU at worst. It would be a shame for the continent that that experiment failed, but I don’t see that being an inherently bad thing for Europe. They managed to not kill each other just fine without it and things like the Balkan conflict didn’t erupt into continental war and that was a much bigger threat. Hell, the EU always seemed like a potentially bad thing with its potential to give Europe all the problems of the US with the more backwards states limiting the social progress of the less backwards states, which is why Scandanavia has a one foot in, one foot out policy with regards to it.
This is all he says about the only potential military issue on the list. That we have good cause to be worried. Apparently war with Iran is such a shibbeloth on the right that I’m expecting half of them to die of blue balls on the day Iran actually gets the bomb and invasion becomes impossible.
So here’s a conspiracy theory about Turkey. I don’t even know where to begin, either in the whole, Turkey has always had Muslim and Arabic roots what with having connections to several pan-Middle-East empires or the fact that a shooting war with Turkey would be a) stupid and b) meaningless. Seriously, a potential fear-based misadventure is not a call to more American stupidity.
There is a level of stupid it is hard to even face directly.
Seriously?
Secret ambition? Recreation of the Ottoman Empire? That would then try and get into a shooting war with us? Oh wait, “might find ourselves in a”. Yes, if we’re stupid enough to just continue an overall campaign of trying to take over the Middle East to show them brown people who has the biggest cock, then yes, we might “find ourselves in a shooting war”. Again, this is a call for action against the US, not a call for the US to become even more insane.
Maybe to you, because you are a fucking idiot.
Cutting off the unregulated arms sales to Mexican drug lords, legalizing drugs here to avoid supplies, stop arming and paying off Columbian drug lords over our bullshit “they aren’t fellating American company” chip on the shoulder over Venezuela?
No, no solutions other than war.
Also, point one for the glorious right-wing conspiracy theory that a) the drug war hasn’t been mostly contained in Mexico, tragically so and b) every single immigrant is connected to the drug war and so SCARY MESSICANS!
But yeah, shooting war would handle what is in essence a Columbian cartel dispute trying to find proper channels to American consumers.
And this person makes a decent living writing this horseshit?
Chris-
Yeah, there is also the fact that he’s basically just selling World War Three, because that has a very deliberate cultural meaning. It basically colloquially means “nuclear armageddon”, even though it can mean global conflict.
What this is is the usual desperate attempt to connect the paranoia and conservative leanings of the Cold War into the meager and pathetic conflicts of today in order to protect our bloated military budget and the ability to smack around any country that thinks it can cockblock American business interests by citing “global security” or the “War on X”.
And the grasping of straws reveals just how empty they are coming up, especially now that Obama has defused the War on Terror by capturing bin Laden like a punk and showing Al Queda to be the mickey-mouse outfit it was.
You really wouldn’t want to ride in [a B-52].
As big as they are, most of that is stuffed full of fuel and electronics.
I take it you’re also going to nix my dream of wing-walking on one.
Oh, that and jail time for any banker whose company is found to be laundering drug money in any way.
Watch those funds dry up quicker than a right-winger “pro-lifer”‘s tears when switching to discuss the death penalty.l
Last mangos, because, fuck this guy.
I’ll note that even his “we’ll be doomed if we’re not a bunch of belligerent assholes” scare examples pretty much were universally “only could be started if we’re belligerent assholes”. So, yeah, if we let the Yoshidas of the world anywhere near power, then yes, there is quite a danger of war.
Vote Republican! Be afraid! BUY MY BOOK!!!!!!
Yes, let’s assume his delusions are a) at all connected to reality and b) miraculously happened at the same time.
We’d have: China invading a few central asian neighbors, the EU giving the bitchslap to Greece, a random shooting war between the US and Turkey, and a random shooting war between the US and Mexico.
GREATEST ARMED CONFLICT SINCE WORLD WAR TWO!
Who needs Hitler rolling over Europe when you have Greece going down like a bitch, China doing some aggressive expansion of tiny countries, and the US getting entangled with two more weaker nations they should beat easily and nonetheless getting their asses kicked because they have no idea what they’re end goals are.
Truly, the greatest conflict of all time!
Just ask North Korea about the ability of nuclear weapons to deter conflict.
And they really are desperate. Um, the terrorists we stomped like children when we stopped treating it like a War on Islam and instead like a police problem might develop a bomb and then use it and then, who will be right then about the need for more unsuccessful military adventures!
War will prevent War!
And invade any nation that prepares like Hitler and talks about starting global conflicts in order to demonstrate its might and power.
Hey, why are you invading us? We’re just trying to protect you all against the conflicts that must be happening everywhere! Invade! Ha ha ha ha, vote Republican, be scared of foreigners! The Cold War never ended! We can still rule the world, the train ride hasn’t ended! Colonialism 2! Please god, don’t let this erection go untreated, I haven’t had a new war since 2003 that I could really jerk off to and Libya doesn’t count!
Ugh, seriously though, it’s about the desperate desire to justify the American Wingnut Erection machine…I mean military budget and small-country-bitchslapping unit. They need to have the biggest cock, that’s getting bigger and they want their country to be central to every conflict everywhere and show its the big boss for American companies around the world. That’s what gets their dicks hard.
And they are really frightened that the comedown off the Cold War and the realization that the world isn’t out to get us and hell, we might even be the belligerent baddie that “global conflicts” used to be raised up to defeat.
That people will start drifting away from using fear of foreigners and brown people to support insane right-wing policies that make their lives more miserable, may even call for the draining of the military budget in real ways and the movement of that money into improving our domestic problems. That people might actually wake up from the neo-con high and realize that we’re doing more harm than good “policing the world” and we could deal with the modern problems better with global police work and good foreign relations.
In short, that people like Yoshida will have to get real jobs and forever suffer blue balls from people no longer dying in droves in order to let them masturbate to completion like the selfish bastards they are.
You really wouldn’t want to ride in one.
you’re only making it sound like even more fun, you know…
Also, weren’t the wingnuts all, “EU evil, EU will never succeed” and all that crap, because what would happen if “European consensus was defied” would be the dissolution of the EU at worst. It would be a shame for the continent that that experiment failed, but I don’t see that being an inherently bad thing for Europe. They managed to not kill each other just fine without it and things like the Balkan conflict didn’t erupt into continental war and that was a much bigger threat. Hell, the EU always seemed like a potentially bad thing with its potential to give Europe all the problems of the US with the more backwards states limiting the social progress of the less backwards states, which is why Scandanavia has a one foot in, one foot out policy with regards to it.
I think our wingnuts look at the EU with the same combination of contempt and unease that European noblemen looked at the early United States (or the French or other republics). Or also the way communist countries looked at capitalist ones. It’s an affront against their ideology (beyond nationalities, peaceniky, made up of those faggy “socialist” countries they hold in such contempt), so they believe it can’t work and has to fail. But every year that goes by and it doesn’t, something inside them gets more and more irritated and wonders when it’s going to get a move on and actually fail so they can be vindicated. (Or if, God forbid, it might survive and prove that they’re wrong).
So here’s a conspiracy theory about Turkey.
Generous way to put it. To me most “foreign policy” commentary in conservative blogs evokes shitty Tom Clancy fan fiction, this one being a perfect case in point.
Oh, that and jail time for any banker whose company is found to be laundering drug money in any way.
Good lord. YES.
To me most “foreign policy” commentary in conservative blogs evokes shitty Tom Clancy fan fiction
Oh, that sums it up perfectly. I may have to save that one for future plagiarizing.
You know, I had been thinking just the other day, “I wonder if that Adam screwball from Canada is still writing his fevered jibberings, stuff so out there it makes me sad rather than angry, sad that a young man is working so hard to keep his ownself angry and terrified. No one’s mentioned him since Christ was a cowboy. Maybe he’s not writing anymore. Maybe he’s gotten laid and/or stoned and sees the world through a gentler light. I hope so.” Alas.
Still.
given the unsettled nature of the Middle East today, I think that we might well find ourselves in a shooting war with the a Turkish government, whose secret ambition appears to be the recreation of the Ottoman Empire
Okay, so if it’s a secret ambition, how does he know? And isn’t he a’tall worried that the Turkish government, their wicked scheme revealed to the world, will send some Janissaries or some sort of dervish-type to whack him? Boy, I would be, especially if I thought said government was attempting to resurrect an empire known particularly for not fucking around when it came to whacking dudes.
So who here’s actually been to Turkey?
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! (Waves hand frantically)
They seemed like a really nice bunch for the most part.
I wouldn’t want to get on their bad side, mind you. In the “tough” department they’re right up there with the Israelis. Just ask any North Korean that ran into them from 1950-1953.
Dear Sadly, No! That pshop is missing something. Like a sheep with a buttplug sticking out of it. Or a partially inflated Maggie Thatcher doll. Or a sheep with a partially inflated … You get the drift.
We would do well to recall they didn’t use it on the battlefield. Apparently this fucktard has never heard of Zyklon B.
Fucktard also seems supremely confident that in the event of his much desired war with … Jesus, everyone his ass won’t wind up scampering about with a rifle and a very heavy pack.
Also too, some rightwank hack concern trolled that China’s one child policy + preference for male children = horny yellow hordes swarming over the world in search of wimmin before this little gobshite started wasting oxygen. Maybe suggesting a group of people would wage all out war to get some nookie is an improvement on suggesting said group lures women into their laundries cum opium dens for purposes too dreadful to mention. But I don’t think so.
So, OT: you remember when George Bush invading Iraq TOTALLY scared Qaddafi into getting rid of his WMD programs, cause he was scared of Bush, cause Bush had proved that he was the man and don’t mess with Texas and whatnot?
Yeah, neither do the Libyans.
Adam Y is so old school I had to post. I think this means Ruppert is not far behind.

Major Kong, were you in ’79?
About the debt crisis plunging us into WW III—Wouldn’t it be a lot easier just to kill a bunch of bankers? I mean really. How stupid can the whole human race put together be?
This guy reminds me of a one panel political cartoon when George H.W. Bush was President— the President is portrayed as a child hunkered under his blanket and crying, Uncle Sam walks in and asks, “What is it now, George?” and George answers, “Cubans!!!”
This little hummers screed is so chock full of fail it’s hard to narrow it down, but the following has me particularly curious:
Not to be pedantic—this guy says he just published an e-book, right?—shouldn’t it read “no choices but abject surrender or all-out-war?” It’s rather difficult to do both at once.
I was on active duty from 1984 – 1992. I was in the Air National Guard until 2006. I retired as an O-5.
WTF?: ” We would do well to recall that, in history’s greatest war, the Nazis refrained from using chemical weapons — even during the final battles in the dying days of the Third Reich — for fear of Allied retaliation. War on a global scale is still possible.”
What does remembering something the Nazis didn’t do have to do with demonstrating the possibility of global war?
Adam rambles on like a mentally disordered fucktwit, stringing random historical giblets together.
Alex-
I think his proto-thought is this:
Nuh uh, global ungh war yeah baby is still ungh lower yeah possible even though we’ve got ohgodohgodohgod nukes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Woo, yeah, so just cause we don’t have nukes, doesn’t mean we can’t still blanket the world with our sweet hot conventional warfare jizz even against nations that have nukes.
Addendum to self-
The connection to Hitler being that Hitler managed to still fight a conventional war even though he had chemical weapons. The irony being that as far as straight up warfare, the nazis did stick to the rules, avoiding the stuff banned in WWI. We decided what else was banned in warfare based on whatever they did that we didn’t. Hence why slaughtering civilians is a war crime, but not deliberately bombing civilian targets.
Nonetheless, it is still incredibly stupid.
And a conventional invasion of a nuclear power would still be one of those “do you feel lucky, punk” moments.
Fuck Adam Yoshida and the macrowave he got baked in.
shouldn’t it read “no choices but abject surrender or all-out-war?”
I think it’s OK either way, though it does sound a bit odd to say “and.” It’s like saying “the presidential candidates are McCain and Obama,” you’re just enumerating choices instead of candidates, if you see what I mean.

We decided what else was banned in warfare based on whatever they did that we didn’t. Hence why slaughtering civilians is a war crime, but not deliberately bombing civilian targets.
On a related note, I’ve heard that Germans and Americans both collected a ton of live prisoners during the war because both of them were known to generally adhere to the Geneva Convention as far as POWs went. And that with the Russians and Japanese, who hadn’t signed the convention and had a reputation for ferocious cruelty, ended having a lot of their enemies die or kill themselves rather than surrender, knowing that falling in enemy hands would be worse.
An interesting lesson in the value of treating your prisoners right. You’ll get more of them and therefore more people to question as intelligence sources.
The Germans didn’t use chemical weapons in WWII because Hitler had been in WWI, spent the last month of the war in the hospital from being gassed, had seen them in action, and knew they were worthless—just about as harmful to your guys as the enemy. Too bad some of these chickenhawks haven’t had similar experience.
As for the accusation of “Western Leaders” (especially one particularly dusky one, I’m thinking) engaging in Chamberlain-esque appeasement of…well…somebody! There’s got to be somebody!…I guess Iran is about all he could come up with, barring his fantasies about the Mad Turk: I kind of agree with the school of thought that international politics was running without a flywheel because the US was abdicating its responsibilities as the world’s most powerful nation from 1918-1941, with the results we saw.
Now we have a controlled experiment running. In the first test, powerful empires were brought to their knees and broken up into successor states, the US sat around with our fingers up our asses, and then crashed the world economy. Hilarity ensued. In the test currently running, one great empire was brought to its knees, broken up into successor states, the US is running wild, sticking our cocks into anything that moves, and then we crashed the world economy. What will happen differently?
As far as Iran’s nukes: thinking you can prevent someone from acquiring 70-year-old technology is pathological in itself, but the real test of whether Iran would do anything with them will have to wait on the determination of whether they work or not. North Korea isn’t a fair example because their second nuclear test was a failure. Not a miserable failure, like their first one, but a failure nonetheless. My theory is that they overcooked their reactor fuel in hopes of getting more plutonium out of it, and it’s got too much 240 in it. Supposedly we exploded a device using reactor-grade Pu in 1977, but I’m sure it took incredibly sophisticated design, and we know nothing about its weight or yield. The physical possibility that the North Koreans could hit the Aleutians with a 6-kiloton device after a week of highly visible preparation (if they wanted to commit suicide) is really a piss-poor excuse for an existential threat, and Iran is much further away. These wingnuts are the most delicate little flowers, aren’t they?
Even I have never written anything as stupid as this. Seriously, what kind of foolishness is this?
VRBK,
As I understand it, the wingnut rationalization for why Iran must not ever get the bomb is that the Iranians are Muslim, which means apocalyptic crazy, and that if they ever got a bomb they’d immediately use it on Israel. The 9/11 attacks and the Muslim-fear and “these people are capable of anything” sense that came after them, plus the saber-rattling antisemetic shit Ahmadinejad spouts whenever he’s near a camera, have done a lot to turn that idiotic fucking idea into conventional wisdom.
Personally, I’d actually feel safer if the “Islamic bomb” had been an Iranian rather than Pakistani product, but that ship sailed years ago. More’s the pity.
However, as Mark Steyn points out in his excellent new book After America….
I went searching for mangoes and found this rancid one. Excellent and Mark Steyn should not be used in the same sentence.
(well, except for; “Hugh Hewitt gave Mark Steyn a blowjob that was a long was from being excellent”)
The comment mangoes are fun too;
“In 1977, shortly before his death, my grandfather called the family together. He warned us about an upcoming Civil War that would come about due to the entitlement mentality that the USA had created……………… blah, blah, blah, kill the liberals…. blah….”
Looks like after blowing all his money on utility bills, he has managed to get the his internet service turned back on.
eh, ‘utility bills’, is that what your calling imported donkey pron magazines now?
I think our wingnuts look at the EU with the same combination of contempt and unease that European noblemen looked at the early United States (or the French or other republics).
Its also the other pole of power argument that scares them. Imagine, another bunch of white guys get a large confederations of states together, with its own currency…. perhaps we aint so special after all!!!
Major Kong, you’re just a young Gen-X whippersnapper, ain’t ya’? I was 17 when I enlisted in ’78, and had graduated high school a year early. My s.o. turned 15 in ’84. I turned 23 that year and started attending the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Art History, after working for a year to re-establish my residency.
So…Mr. Yoshida is running the Cain campaign now? Figures. They knew this sexual harassment business was going to surface and so Adam is trying to point out that Cain has the highest GOP WW III score. Herman’s been waiting for WW III to be released for five years:
…The anatomy of WW III is unlike any we have ever fought. Unfortunately, this fact has escaped too many people who believe that traditional diplomacy, appeasement and concessions to the terrorists are the keys to our success. Nothing could be further from the truth….

ZOMBIES ISREAL!
I notice Adam Yoshida hasn’t decided to enlist to defend the great white north from Ottoman Empire II Electric Boogaloo. What is it with these wingnuts wishing for a reprise of the crusades? Have they been itching for a rematch since the fall of Constantinople?
Luckily for the west, no wait, luckily for Christendom and civilization itself, we can hide behind the maple hordes of the great white north when that happens. Surely the Turks will be quaking in their curly toed shoes when the Canukistani heavy moose cavalry shows up to save the day. Truly it will be a great day when the Caliph will be forced to eat Canadian bacon as a gesture of absolute surrender.
Seriously? That’s dumber than every Steven Segal movie ever made.
FRUITGATE!

Look; it’s not my fault; he said it…and without the slightest hint of irony.
as the mother of a retarded person, i really don’t know what to say about this…unless his parents are pretty well off, i would suspect that he receives something like ssi each month, in which case GOVERNMENT HANDOUT!!! otherwise, if his family can afford to pay for all his care needs, personal needs and schooling out of their own pocket…NOT THE 53%!!! also, too…if he is indeed mentally disabled, and does indeed work for jp morgan, they are probably getting his *services* at a greatly reduced rate or are part of a special GOVERNMENT program…either way, i feel sorry for him that he has people in his life that would manipulate him like this…
if he is indeed mentally disabled, and does indeed work for jp morgan, they are probably getting his *services* at a greatly reduced rate or are part of a special GOVERNMENT program
If he’s indeed working a full time job, he is receiving no assistance, disability or otherwise.
My brother has worked for over 40 years, hasn’t taken a dime of SSI or disability. I can’t read the article (frikkin’ firewall) but I suspect that he’s not receiving intense therapy or care and if he is, its optional.
If he’s indeed working a full time job, he is receiving no assistance, disability or otherwise.
true…if he’s getting paid a full wage…teh daughter works everyday, but some of her jobs she’s paid less than $2/hour…she can make up to a certain amount, then it comes out of her ssi…as does her housing, etc…my guess is that he’s high functioning and living at home…here’s what his note says: I was in special ed until sixth grade; no one ever expected me to go to college; now i have a degree–i paid for it; i also have a series -7; i paid for that, too; i’ve taken what is rightfully mine and wouldn’t ask for anything more;

WTF? Seriously, this can’t be legal. It can’t be.
Why not? It makes sense (most of the time.) If you borrow for a house, you’re on the hook for the money, not the value of the house.
Now, in a market where house prices collapse, it ought to be incumbent on the banks to forgo the deficiency, I agree, but it’s perfectly legal.

From the WSJ article linked to:
He says deficiency judgments will eventually be bundled into packages that resemble mortgage-backed securities.
What could possibly go wrong?
My neighbor across the hall, a Marine Iraq vet with five young children, was completely underwater on the mortgage for his condo. He lined up a buyer, but because she wouldn’t pay off the entire mortgage, the mortgage holder wasn’t interested. The guy had to do a strategic default to get the bank’s attention. The deal finally went through, for at least $20K more than the bank could possibly have made through a short sale. And all the Marine vet homeowner had to do was wreck his credit rating to save the bank that money.
Of course, they’ll probably show their gratitude by going after him for the rest of their money. And the assholes who demand support for “our troops” will be behind them all the way.

True. But if you get swindled out of your own house, then sued by the people who swindled you (who, BTW, knew the true value of the house all along)…to me that sounds like it’s the plot of a Will Ferrell movie or Lex Luthor-centric issue of Superman.

Thass col’, bro.
It seems that the transaction is 3 sided and two sides are playing a game that while legal, is totally immoral. The linked article suggest that the debt is usually sold at about 8 cents on the dollar. The seller of the debt sees a potential to realize $8000 for every $100,000 in bad loans. The buyer sees a potential $100,000 plus interest for an investment of $8000. Both sides need to be smacked.
The seller: you wrote the bad loan, you foreclosed on the mortgage and you took the hit when the house sold short at auction, cry me a goddamn river, that ought to teach you not to oversell a loan. The buyer, seriously, what kind of shit-weasel tries to go after an additional hundred grand or so from the wreckage of another American’s dreams? These transactions ought to be illegal. The buying and selling of debt, is another layer of abstraction that makes it tougher for the average investor to tell a good investment from a scam, and it gives unscrupulous people another way to fleece investors. Also it removes any incentive from the lender to do any kind of due diligence on their clients, and it enables bubbles like the one that collapsed in 08.
Where the hell is the public interest in allowing those kind of transactions?
Speculative investors bought more than half of homes sold in Lehigh Acres in 2005 and 2006, Bob Peterson, a real-estate agent, estimates.
A large portion of the foreclosures in the area are from speculators. Many of those are Europeans and it may be difficult to get money from them. Many others are people who made a fortune at the height of the boom and can afford to pay the banks back, however they did their investing through a corporation and have since declared the corporation bankrupt, so they’ll not be very forthcoming. Once again, it is the little guy that pays the piper. The people who will get hit hardest with this are the ones who can’t afford it. The ones who, when they went through forclosure, lost their home and not just some piece of investment property.
I mean this isn’t the fifties and sixties where anyone who was out of work [who was male, white, and under 30] could just go get a factory or construction job if they found themselves out of work.
The people with these lawsuits against them, just had a house foreclosed. Usually because they are out of work. If they could have found an income, they wouldn’t be in that situation to begin with. Donating plasma doesn’t pay real well. Unemployment doesn’t pay real well. Welfare doesn’t pay real well. The fact that millions haven’t turned to crime is a source of astonishment to me. What the hell do the destitute have to lose? Their freedom to starve anywhere they like? Prison would be a step up for a lot of people, at least prisoners have food, a bed and health care.

And poisoning themselves in the process. Remember how well the original “mortgage-backed securities” worked?
California is a “non-recourse” State, meaning that the bank can’t sue beyond what it held for security. This is actually smart. Theoretically, such an arrangement would keep the banks from issuing absurd loans. Y’know, sort of making sure the bank has skin in the game, as it were. You shouldn’t be able to charge interest if there isn’t any risk.
Okay.

spear, is there anything which christina’s ass would NOT be relevant to?
The mortgage debt is secured by the title to the real property. Foreclosure results in the bank receiving full marketable title to the property instead of the amount owed. That is how it works in California. The creditor can choose to obtain the security through foreclosure or choose to collect the debt as a personal obligation, but it cannot do both. I’m astounded that other states don’t follow this and that courts are letting these lenders play heads I win, tails you lose. (Make that not actually astounded).
I’m shocked, shocked to find the game is rigged.
I decided to delve into the question a little more deeply and, as a result, have produced a new e-book entitled The Blast of War: A Narrative History of the Third World War.

Several compelling urges incline me to stay a mile away, as I am not certain that I would comport myself with dignity during a live appearance of that example of beltway hacktacularity.
In general I have a good deal of control over myself, and while I don’t generally suffer fools kindly, I generally give a body at least a couple of chances before I do whatever is necessary to remove the ghastly foolish from my realm of influence (because a brother is gonna likely go nuclear) for the safety of all involved. Also, too, I like staying out of Jail.
If I knew that a certain Doghouse, or Drifty were to make an appearance, knowing that I would have (If not cell, then) blockmates, might make the decision easier…In any event I am torn…This is the reason I can’t have nice things.

OT – some wingnut news about LEAFS SUCK.
Mark Schatzker writes a weekly humour column for teh Globe’s LEAFS SUCK edition and is “famous” for his die-hard obsession with steak. Teh fake quotes are actually kinda funneh – in an unintentional sort of way. Teh one making teh rounds is about how Bay Street types have been in their offices for hours since before “Jeremy, 38” got to teh St. James park. Hee hee. Bay Street typically doesn’t open before 10AM. Those high-powered capitalist types do not drive in from Oakville at rush hour. Moar funneh is teh dismissive tone – that Occupy Toronto is being written off as “fizzled” and over. Last week, that wasn’t that bad a guess as Occupy Toronto nevar really got that much momentum. Today, however,,,

The best way to prevent an attack is to have a strong military. But you can’t have strong military (either from a preparedness point of view, or in the perceptions of potential enemies) unless you attack other countries. These two concepts were not considered to be either contradictory or destabilizing.

Schoolteacher, bricklayer, cabinet maker, clergyman, hairdresser, barrista, sanitation worker, police officer, firefighter, fill-in-the-blank? There are plenty of occupations that don’t earn much money, especially not compared to entitled Wall Street assholes, but it does not follow that the people who do them are not trained professionals with years of experience and appropriate credentials.
Just because you CAN rank everybody in the country on the basis of salary doesn’t mean the ranking is meaningful. It’s like saying the best paid player in the NBA is a better baseball player than some journeyman infielder, just because he makes more money. It’s plainly ridiculous, and yet this letter keeps popping up.

Some Wall Street fuckstick threatens to take my job. I’m so scared.
He could take my job. All he needs is:
ATP Certificate
Current FE Turbojet Rating or written (FEX or Basic/turbojet) taken within previous 18 months only applicable to candidates notified and offered a BI class that may include B727 Second officer positions.
1500 hours total fixed-wing time as pilot-in-command (PIC) or second-in-command in multi-engine turbo-prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof, including a minimum of 1000 hours total fixed-wing pilot-in-command in multi-engine turbo prop A/C or jet A/C or combination thereof.
Of course, I had more than double that and if I hadn’t known several people at the company my resume would still be sitting in the pile with 5000 others.
Stay classy, Republicans

Bah! All he needs it MicroSoft Flight Simulator! Mythbusters proved that!
You know, with a couple of hundred hours using microsoft flight simulator, using a virtual cockpit with thousand bucks worth of controllers (control yoke, pedal, thrust control levers, flight computer interface) and add-ons for the precise airplane, and more add-ons for the exact airport, and more add-ons for simulating realistic levels of air traffic, the average person could totally put a real airliner on the runway with only major airframe damage 3 out of 5 times. The other times would be smoking craters either in the runway or short of the runway.

Thank the Lord when crony capitalism works in your favor.
Hey, any consultant, any book about job hunting, any seminar you ever attend about how to find a job will advise you to ask your friends first.
I’m kind of surprised you didn’t know– unless you’ve never worked a day in your life!
THAT’S IT!
You understand “hypocrisy” as well as you understand “crony capitalism.” The charge of utter conservative cluelessness will stand.
Sure I do, Bitter
i know i’m going to regret this, but dennis, how does knowing people in the industry in which you are applying to and are more than qualified to work for equal crony capitalism?
Crony capitalism isn’t making sure your friend who’s out of work knows about job openings. Crony capitalism doesn’t mean making sure your friend gets an interview for a posted job. Crony capitalism is investing $10,000,000 in your frat buddies hedge fund whether he knows what he’s doing or not. Crony capitalism is getting appointed to run the SEC straight from an investment bank and after your turn is up, heading right back to wall street. Crony capitalism is real estate agents, lenders, investment banks and insurance companies, teaming up to put millions of Americans in homes they can’t afford and betting that they will default, and each one making a killing on commission and none of them caring if the houses, mortgages, or mortgage backed security will be worth more than an empty can of old English 800 tomorrow, because hey, its not your money anyway.
Thank the Lord when crony capitalism works in your favor. Occupy your local city park when it doesn’t.

I still had to pass a simulator check (in a DC-10 simulator, never having flown a DC-10) plus two days of interviews and testing.

I am certain that I could do whatever it is that Dennis does, better than Dennis. If the job involves a skill-set that I have yet to acquire, give me a couple weeks,

Dennis – I just wanted to confirm your mistaken sense of superiority by reminding you that you’re a worthless chunk of garbage injection-molded into the shape of a human being. It’s fortunate that you have no sense of self-worth, or trolling among people who don;t care what you say and know you’re garbage might actually hurt you.
Please, now, tell us all how what I’ve said is proof that all liberals argle barge boo.
“Not to change the subject or to go off-topic here since there is no topic or subject, but I just had an excellent Boar’s Head turkey sandwich on a wheat flatbread, topped off with some Hellman’s mayonnaise and a nice piece of lettuce (the iceberg variety) with a slice of American cheese. For a side I had a ripe Gala apple and a Diet Minute Maid Lemonade to wash it all down. For dessert I chose a Snickers Mini from someone’s bowl of leftover Halloween candy. I might go back to try a Baby Ruth, though I’m not sure right now. Simply heavenly food porn. OMG, delicious! Please don’t be jealous, Pupienus.”

Estimates are that college graduates will make on average $2.1 million more than non-college graduates.

Obvious response already made, but one thing I’ve noticed in my 17 months of unemployment since getting my Master’s is that the current economy, or rather entrance into it now almost entirely depends on nepotism and connections. It’s about knowing someone on the inside that can give you an in, not necessarily having strong qualifications or background.
As such, making those connections is the most important skill to have in school, rather than focusing on working hard on your subject or disappearing into work. It becomes really the only thing that matters anymore because things have really become so bad that only the once derided “getting a job through a buddy” method is really the only one left (and from what I’ve heard from family members being honest, has often been the main in for a very long time).
This reality adds a whole new level to the usual “they brought it on themselves for being out of work” bullshit and the “they should have worked hard and made something of themselves” and “I worked hard and rose to this position on my merits and no one’s help.”
Not only did they not, but they probably wouldn’t have even been there without their buddy Frank already being there and giving the good word.

When I was a kid, I interviewed for a job at Bear Stearns, replete with fast-track Series 7 license, no cold calling, yadayadayada. I didn’t even have a degree, much less on in business.
I wouldn’t have gotten the interview if I hadn’t been dating Ace Greenberg’s daughter at the time (herself the first woman with a seat on the NYSE).
Luckily for me (else I’d probably have been there in 2007 still) I failed the lie detector. Odd they had a problem with stealing. You’d think that would be a pre-requisite to be a broker.

From actor’s link:
That is someone who needs to talk to some young ‘uns.
I don’t know a single person in my age group, even the ones who managed to luck into being “successful” that is anywhere near imagining they could “buy a house” or ever afford to “send their own children to university” based on saved income, or even really in a position to save their income what with paying off student debt. And that’s the successful ones with decent paying jobs, the rest of us slobs are basically hoping they’ll still be able to afford apartments or escape whatever couch they are crashing on and live on their own someday.
As far as “start their own business”? Bwahahaha, yeah, sure, because there is such a functional safety net that that is at all possible. Though ironically, that might be up, because being out of work after college with no one hiring you makes you start looking at projects and wondering if you could support yourself on them someday.
But yeah, those are middle class dreams of the 50s and 60s. By the 2010s after Reaganomics and 40 years of stagnation, our dreams couldn’t be further away. A house is a pipe dream, saving for our children to go to college is a sick joke, and so on. We dream of one day being out of debt or being able to have actual money in the savings account or to be making positive incomes that actually do more than drain what we’ve already got.
And that’s the college graduates.
If that’s the point we were supposed to panic, when those dreams were no longer reachable, then we’re about 30 years late, cause now we’re in “we don’t ever dare dream”.
MOAR POOPAY!!!!

I smile bemusedly when my offspring tells me her dreams of a future. It saddens me that she’ll have to wait for her inheritance to even begin to pile up what she hopes to do with her life.

The sub-photo caption was the killer joke for me.
My personal faves:
Yeah, damnitt, why waste time acknowledging and analyzing the inequalities that make up my life when I could be doing hyphenated extensions of common words that I can to get employed.
Because as we all know, writing snarky comments on a comedy blog is all that one can ever do, their life constrained by that and that alone, so no outside world could exist and thus no activities could occur within it, say, that already happening, plus developing at least 4 new skillsets, joining several groups for networking purposes, and so on.
It’s almost like there’s some sort of generalized thing wrong with the global economy that’s preventing new blood from having an at all easy entrance into the workforce, something that needs to be addressed if only we could find time internalizing it all as “I’m just not Xing enough”, you know, like I did, giving myself multiple psychological breakdowns from stress and preventing myself from doing anything other than look for jobs for an entire year of my young adult life, a year simply ate by our current economy and the cultural pressure to blame myself first and foremost for any “personal” failure to acquire that which the system has made ever more difficult to acquire even with a master’s degree in biology and more skillsets than Dennis could ever dream about.
Luckily my partner is learning from my “mistakes” as they were (not networking like a bunny when I was still in college and instead being all introvert consumed by my work). So she’ll probably be all right when she graduates, or at least not as fucked as I am.
But hey, if we never acknowledge what’s going on and instead devote all of our time to…no, wait, I still did that advice, like back in month 1, so really there is no way to keep conservative trolls from turning it into “it must be your fault”.
It’s almost like the real thing they fear is acknowledging the reality of our situation and how we got here. As if facing that demon would somehow make it more real and that it would become something that could affect them. And as long as they pretend it is “laziness” or “poor planning” that screws you, then it can never affect their lazy entitled asses because they are “different”, “they understand the game”, “they’ve never had to rely on anyone.”
Because if we dirty hippies are right, then they aren’t protected from their own policies and are just as liable to be fucked by them and then the solution isn’t as simple as “punish the hippies for being lazy” and actually involves hard difficult slogs against those who have made the system as it is and all the terrifying nuance that comes with it.
I can sympathize with this human fear.
But nonetheless I must note, didn’t Dennis get himself a one-way ticket on the ban train for being a creepy stalker troll?
This is actually a recurring thing in Atlas Shrugged. Were you a good philosophy professor? You’ll make a fine line cook in a diner. Big-time banker? Farming’ll be a snap!

So Bobo’s upset about cutbacks in Pell Grants then.
Pryme:
Well of course, it’s probably the necessary belief to justify all classism. The work done by the “lowers” must be incredibly simple, require no actual skills, and could be done instantly by the “superiors” sight unseen, because otherwise you might have to acknowledge that the lowers possess skills the superiors don’t have and that maybe the giant gap of wealth is not exactly wholly earned.
Basically, a day laborer or a teacher has a job a hedge manager could just walk into and do if their talent didn’t demand a high salary or otherwise, why are they superior or their skillset so much more valuable? And why would it be okay to view the lower classes as scum who could and should be wiped out to make way for the rich.
You also see this repeated in racism and sexism. Anything that is black dominated, could obviously be dominated by whites if they really cared and “debased” themselves to compete like that. Sometimes they might acknowledge that the blacks dominate a certain activity, but that activity is wholly without merit, “base barbarism” and the like that’s not the domain of “civilized gentlemen”.
And sexism? Wooee. Just listen to your average MRA or general male douchenozzle when asked about “women’s work” like raising kids, cleaning and upkeeping a house with kids, making sure the man is pampered, laundered, taken care of and destressed while the woman doesn’t get time off.
Most often it’s described as “lazing about the house, playing with the kids”. The work is assumed to be easy for a man to master if he felt like it and wasn’t “already tired from his hard job at the button-pushing factory”. The few men who actually have to take up the job for a weekend might acknowledge that its difficult but assume they would quickly master it if they were forced and would be able to juggle it and a job better than a woman would with it as their full-time “job”.
Why? Because to think otherwise would be to admit that a woman could be as skilled or motivated as a man and not genetically less superior and that threatens so much that it becomes easier to think that the work is simple and could be picked up with no trouble by a man.
Basically, you justify the superiority complex by assuming that the work of the lesser beings is simplicity itself that could be picked up in a day, not that you’ll ever test that theory so long as you’re needed with the “real hard work” of the “superior classes”.
This is also why women and other “lesser beings” climbing the ranks into the “good jobs” freaks them out and also why they are really frightened by the sneaking thought that maybe “pushing around some paperwork plus basic math” might not be a million times more valuable than a schoolteacher’s job and that their job might be the one that any untrained slob could walk into and master in a matter of weeks and the “lowers” job would be the one to kill their overpampered asses.
Because if that’s true, they aren’t being rewarded for their genetic superiority. They’re just greedy fucks.
Oh bob, Bobos horseshit about how red versus blue is explained by there not being a 1% in the sticks or you know still a 1% that’s making rural lives shit is pretty abhorent, but one piece reminds me of what Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon (yeah, I know, some people here hate her, but bear with me) has said here and there.
There really does seem to be a resentment among the “red america” folks not for genuine income gaps and inequalities but rather what are perceived as “cultural inequalities”. In short, that they repress themselves for God, living shitty, non-uppity lives and still get shit upon by the 1% and see the poor and similarly classed people in the “blue states” dating who they want, watching foreign movies, buying better produce for about the same price, and in general just living freer with about the same economic impact.
Thus, the blue America lifestyle and the lifestyle of liberals everywhere serves as a reminder that the income inequalities might really have something to do with economic inequalities rather than a product of social repression and God’s grace given unto those who show a great deal of self-sacrifice. But since so much of life has been given up to the Gods of conformity, it becomes easier to view the “lucky bastards” in the cities as the real problem and “dragging them down” as the real solution rather than focusing the rage on the people who really are profiting from making all of our lives suck that much more.
Also why they constantly view the “blue staters” as getting something for nothing, when the tax flow goes the other way. They aren’t talking about genuine income flow, but rather the perceived cultural freedom and having that occur without the “cost” it would have in the more repressed cultures. In short, the liberals haven’t “paid their price” for being able to go out in public with the type of people they are really attracted to, having choices in entertainment, or having a genuine culture to experience and give flavor to their lives.
Like Bobo argues, but is unaware he is arguing, the conservative mindset is unable to grasp that the radical differences in culture are due to deliberate social philosophy decisions, and instead just see people they hate getting something that they themselves don’t have. And so don’t think “if I stopped hating the gays, I could actually marry Steve rather than meeting him at the truck stop every night”, but rather “those degenerate fags get to marry Steve when I can’t. I will make their lives hell for this!”
Also love his “the delusions of the social conservatives” matter more than actual real inequality hand-waving horseshit. Yes, we should all be ashamed that those with liberal social policies have better lives and are happier than conservatives who chose a repressed society, that’s a much bigger inequality than the crushing income inequality that make it such a powerful incentive to conservatives to blame all their problems on the ethnics and the queers.
And yeah, not having a safety net sure isn’t a problem compared to all the people who could really use a safety net or the fact that college has been priced out of the hands of more and more Americans or that the jobs after college or high school are no less there.
Yes, the stagnant class mobility is nothing compared to the fact that conservatives feel liberals have better lives and resent that.
And no, I’m not making any of that up:
Also, he dares end with this:
Yeah, cause income inequality has no affect on class mobility, oh, wait, yes it does. Not to mention that he was a prime cheerleader for “rip up the safety net because DEBT!!!!” and here he is whining about the non-functional safety net as if a) it was a separate problem, b) that it was related to the conservative bitterness over liberals leading better social lives thanks to freer social values that value being yourself over conformity to social convention, and of course c) like that hasn’t been part and parcel of the OWS protests.
The OWS have been talking about the student debt problems, the broken safety net, the lack of opportunities or jobs, and so on. Part and parcel of having a movement that doesn’t impose a single talking point, means that all this is covered and regularly brought up. Hell, most of the problem is that the rich have been deliberately blocking and attacking the safety net problem thus preventing people from even saving themselves from the sinking ship.
But of course that would escape stooges like Bobo, because their talking points are that the OWS is about “eliminating banks” and “punishing the rich” and they wouldn’t be as effective hacks if they didn’t freebase the product first to make sure it was pure propaganda.
Good idea. Nick (or whoever’s actually brewing the beer at Block 15 these days) would do a fine job. I personally wouldn’t trust either of the other two breweries to do it justice.

Nothing like that heady scent of raw fear, mixed with naked hypocrisy:
After seizing control of the House in November 2010 elections, Republicans adopted new rules forbidding most symbolic resolutions on grounds that such measures are a waste of time.
Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor cited the new rules in May as the reason the chamber would not pass a stand-alone measure marking the US raid that killed Al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden.

Bose would have the best sound for the size, but probably wouldn’t meet the “reasonably priced” part.
Sony and Logitech both have decent speaker sets in the $60-$100 price range.
http://reviews.cnet.com/best-pc-speakers/
Geez, Major Kong, those all have huge sub-woofers…which is the issue I’m dealing with now. My Logitech one is practically a square foot. That’s a lot of real estate in a small kitchen nook.
I will poke around amazon.
Bose gets a lot of hate from audiophile snobs, but they really do manage to cram a lot of sound quality into tiny little packages. Companion 3 Series 1 speakers are about as small as you can get. But they will cost you twice as much as other desktop speakers.
Bose is outta my price range. 🙁 Believe me, I’d love to go there. But I’m the only person who listens to music on my ‘puter and I’m pretty sure hubby’s get pissed if I went all Bang and Olufsen.
I bought a pair of speakers for the “crash pad” down in Memphis a while back. I think I got them at Best Buy for around $40. No subwoofer, but the sound is still pretty decent.
You should be able to find something similar.
I’m pretty sure hubby’s get pissed if I went all Bang and Olufsen.
Most men jump at the chance for a little bang & O.
Creative Gigaworks T20’s are pretty small form factored 2.0 speakers (no subwoofer). They come in around a hundred bucks.
I’ll check those out, DK-Dubs. Thanks!

How small a footprint we talking about, vs?
So far, I’d agree with DK-W, Logitech probably makes the best reasonably priced speakers, but if you can stuff a sub-woofer under your desk (if you know what I mean), Harmon Kardon has a really good (and stylish) system for about $100.
Pretty small, actor…’cuz my printer–while small–is squished in here too. I’ll snap a photo later and show you all.
I disagree, actor. I think Dennis can be useful. Please, Dennis, regale us with the sort of joke that Rand Paul can no longer tell for it might offend the ladyfolk.
This is the set I had in mind. For some reason, Google Shopping showed them for $104, but now the best price I can find is $139. Still, eBay probably has them cheaper
If you’re willing to shell out teh bucks, teh Tivoli Audio iPAL is a fantastic as a speaker. One box, takes up almost no space, will easily fill a room with sound. Unless your kitchen nook has a thirty foot ceiling.
Those are great-looking. Ok, this liberal is BOOK-MARKING.
Teh HK Soundsticks look pretty awesome, but I’d want some sort of case around my speakers if they were in a kitchen.
I’ve bookmarked the ipal, too, DK-W. looks like it might be a good investment that won’t break the bank.

KOREA AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE!
[This is a Test]
Now, everyday we try to search the Web to find something that we just feel like writing a comment upon that will make others unhappy about the comment, and we found another jewel, today’s comment was made the one and only Media Messiah Imperial President of [The Empire] The Israeli-American Empire, quote This review is aimed at ensuring that we [The MIC Military Industrial Complex of the Empire] have adequate measures in place and to identify areas where adjustments would be appropriate, unquote, this in response to the sinking of a South Korean Warship by a Submarine of the North Korean Navy, an act of war in a war that is still in progress. The question is does anyone really know what this guy is talking about, the [PRK] The Peoples Republic of Korea, North Korea is a Nuclear Armed nation under the umbrella of protection of yet a larger Nuclear Armed Sphere of Influence in the [21st] Century the [PRC] the Peoples Republic of China, Red China, a member of the [BRIC] Brazil, The Russian Federation, India, and Peoples Republic of China, [21st] Century Spheres of Influence, and the country [The Empire] is the most financially in debt too. So, what was this all about, This is a Test and the [PRK] got a slap on the wrist, a Sanction, like the [PRC] didn’t sanction the event, and will not comply with any sanctions, to a country within its [SPHERE OF INFLUENCE] and under its umbrella of protection.
[Did You Get The Message?]
Come on give me a break! What is an appropriate response what are adequate measures in the [21st] Century, you have got to be kidding, this is not the Korean Police Action of [1950-1953], this is not [6] Six years after [WWII] World War Two, and forget about duck and cover, there isn’t enough ducking and covering to save anyone from a Nuclear Winter. The [PRC] has been sending messages that [The Empire] has no business in its Sphere of Influence, and to begin a phased withdrawal from its Sphere;
* Forcing an [Empire] Spy Plane to land on Chinese Territory.
* Chasing an [Empire] Spy Ship out of the Sea of China.
* Closing its ports to [Empire] Men of War, and any Battle Groups heading to the Islamic Crescent/Arabian Peninsula/ Hindu Cush.
* Demanding and having the demands met that the [Empire] stop all military aide to the Nationalist Chinese held up on the [PRC] Island of Taipei, and stop any further interference between the [PRC] and its breakaway province.
Get real folks, the [PRC] is well aware of any actions or non-actions taking place within it [SPHERE OF INFLUENCE], and to think otherwise is less than critical thinking, and dangerous thinking since the Nuclear Club Door has been kick in.
[Marking Territory]
Where does Japan fit into all this mess, well the answer will be a missile defense system, along with a way to drag the Japanese into a war on the Korean Peninsula, its just that simple, vise just [EMPIRE] troops to ship from the Land of The Rising Sun to that of the Land of the Morning Calm, after the [3rd] Third Nuclear Weapon, since Hiroshima and Nagasaki goes off on Nago, Okinawa Marine Corp. Base, well the Japanese will be needed to balance the [2M] Two Million Route Chinese Armies backing the [2M] Peoples Republic of Korea Army pouring into the [ROK]. That’s if they even get them there before the Peninsula is completely taken by the forces of the [PRC] and Kim Jung ILL will have completed the work started by his father Kim IL Suk giving the [EMPIRE] its worse defeat in the [Empire’s] history. So, did you hear again a missile defense system, do we know of yet another missile defense system, the Foothold Europe missile defense system maybe? The fact of the matter [ALL] the [SPHERES OF INFLUENCE] are Marking Their Territory, this is our spot in the sand box and yours is over there, the review should aim at taking our toys out of the [PRC’s] spot in the sandbox, and adequate measures in place and taken to identify where any adjustments where possible would be appropriate to make it happen very rapidly.

JAPANS LAST EMPEROR?
The question that now has to be asked has the American-Israeli Empire [The Empire] brought down the last Emperor of Japan. Now General Douglas MacArthur was careful not to in anyway down grade the importance of the Japanese Emperor at the end of [WWII] World War Two, but the [20th] Century is now over, and almost [7] Seven decades have passed, in which time the Far-East has been turned upside down, by the Communist Revolution of Chairman Mao Tse-tung, of the [PRC] Peoples Republic of China, a Revolution that continues to this day around the globe, one brought about by [The Empire] The [NYSE] New York Stock Exchange, and the [MIC] The Military Industrial Complex of [The Empire], and now the same short sighted thinking which brought about the Communist Revolution in China, is seen in the county of Cuba East / Japan. Once again [The Empire] is playing The People against a government which it [The Empire] feels it has the complete control of, a government that has broken each and every promise given to its people, while offering only an apology.
The Questions for the Dreamers, Thinkers, Workers, and [NetCitzens] of the Japanese [21st] Century are;
* Do they accept the apology of the newly elected Left-leaning Japanese government that took office in September, but after its election, reflection, and assessment and having promised a New Japan is now offering more of the same, the continued Status Quo of the [20th] Century into the [21st] just more or the same the [20th] Century Quo?
* Does Japan remain tied to [The Western Empire] the Israeli-American Empire, of [NYC] New York City, the [NYSE] New York Stock Exchange, and under the thumb of [The Empire’s MIC] Military Industrial Complex, Japan as [The Empire’s] Foothold Cuba East, and is the Megatropolis Empire the New Central Government of Japan, or is Tokyo, or is the Last Emperor, just the Governor of Japan, and Tokyo, simply, a state capital of [The Empire]?
* Does Japan once again become mired in [The Empire’s] Wars of Economic Stimulus?
* Do the Japanese Citizens, those who’s families have given all to the soil and government of Japan, simply remain quite as they are asked to continue to accept a never ending occupation of their homeland with yet another agreement the so called [2006] Japan-U.S. Roadmap for Realignment Implementation, repairing [The Empire’s] roads, at their expense, the coolies of the [21st] Century, an agreement allowing the [47K] Forty-Seven Thousand, [FOOTHOLD] Troops of Far East Occupation, to remain on Japanese soil, with almost half the occupation force on the southern Japanese Island of Okinawa, in a new upgraded Marine Corp Air Station Futenma, built to [The Empire’s] specifications?
* Will Japanese Ports continue the port calls of any American-Israeli Empire, nuclear-armed warships to Japanese ports, in violation of any and all past agreements, all of which are ignored by [The Empire] violating the hallowed anti-nuclear principle of postwar Japan?
* Is all hope for a closer relationship with [PRC] People’s Republic of China, within the Chinese Sphere of Influence, of the [BRIC] Sphere’s of Influence, of Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, and the [PRC] Peoples Republic of China, been ended?
* Does Japan stay tied to the declining [Empire] Dollar based economic system forgoing the dream of the creation of a [ASEAN] Association of Southeast Asian Nations, of [16] nations using a single [ASEAN] trading currency by [2020] within the bloc and [PRC/ASEAN] Sphere of Influence; Australia, Brunei, China, India, Indo-China [Vietnam], Indonesia, Japan, A United Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, The Paracel Islands, The Philippines, and The Spratly Islands?
On Friday, the [28th] of May, 2010, will the Status Quo, be maintained, will the wheel of fate be stopped, altered, turned back to the [20th] Century by [The Empire] and the puppet Central Government of Tokyo, and its Emperor, or will fate have its way, will the people of Japan, betrayed by its own Central Government its Emperor seek a new path a new way in a new Century, rejecting unending foreign occupation, and foreign domination? Will [The Empire] have over played political and military its hand in the [21st] Century, will it have gone too far, by not replacing boots on the ground with mutual defense pacts and agreements, an unwelcome guest is not a guest but an intruder? Will this be the era of the Last Emperor of the Land of the Rising Sun? Japan’s Last Emperor!!

WHAT’S THE SCOOP?
[WHAT’S THE SCOOP?]
Now, we got an E-mail from David Scott of (www.Freethegods.blogspot.com), and it read David Scott has left a new comment on your post “GOMENESAI TOUR II”: So what’s the big scoop on the current situation with the Korean Conflict? Well Dave should have know better we did a dump job on the poor guy, for which we should say were sorry, but we sort of got a kick out of it. So what is the big scoop about the on going Korean Conflict, it’s all political theater, the Israeli-American Empire, simply know around the world as the [EMPIRE], is in an increasingly rapid state of decline, and to stay in the game at all need to maintain it’s [2] Two Footholds, the European Foothold in Germany, along the Russian Federations Sphere of Influence, and in the Far East in Japan the now Cuba of the Far East, neither Cuba nor Japan want [Empire] Foothold Troops of Occupation on their soil. The [EMPIRE] is aware that the day they lose one of the [2] Two Footholds they lose both of them, and they are losing rapidly their Foothold Hold in Japan, and the [SOSE] Secretary of State of the Empire, Hillary Diane Rodham- Clinton is doing a great job of almost single handily prying that Foothold out of Japan, With her My Way Or The Highway Non-Diplomatic State Department, yes Hillary got her signed agreement, but its something like the time [FDR] Franklin D. Roosevelt had it out with the Supreme Court, they handled down a ruling against [FDR] and the old boy just looked at them and said now enforce it! Now, we will quote ourselves from a previous posting, The Ire of the Japanese people was finally brought to the point where there can no longer be any middle ground, as the [SOSE] Secretary of State to the Empire Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton, in her usual My Way or the Highway performance, ignored, downplayed and brushed aside the overwhelming Japanese peoples demands that the [EMPIRE’S] troops of Foothold Far East be removed from the soil of Japan, that the occupation of Japan be ended. But, The Clinton State Department forced the signing of the so called [2006] Japan-U.S. Roadmap for Realignment Implementation, and more than just kicking the can down the road, has lit the fuse to the powder keg of Japanese private citizens and Ire over the continued occupation of their country, unquote.
[THE LATEST MOVE’S]
The [EMPIRE] media is covering the Far East mostly do to the fact it’s so bad, Hillary doesn’t want it covered but here’s how its shaking out;
* The latest Japanese Government which is Parliamentary is coming apart which will mean a new election in September and the [EMPIRE] and Hillary in particular has caused a bigger headache then they now have, they didn’t like the present government of Japan, we tend the believe that they are going to really hate the next one, and that election is in [120] days.
* And the [EMIC] Empire Military Industrial Complex is sticking it to the [PRC] Peoples Republic of China Sphere of Influence for not backing them on Sanctions against the [PRK] Peoples Republic of China in the [UN] United Nations, Ya! Like that was really going to happen, but the [EMPIRE] arm twisted the present government of Japan into letting [EMPIRE] military assets in particular [59] Fifty-Nine [Empire] carrier Fighter Aircraft, which the Nationalist Chinese Island of Taipei says its not going to accept or put up with as the Japanese are extending its [ADIZ] Air Defense Identification Zone, a line that a military aircraft must first provide flight details to the national airspace into which it is entering or will meet with prompt interception by military means, in other words they could use what ever means to take it down. Now, for those of you who can’t quite grasp the concept, Israeli-American Empire fighter aircraft become legal targets of the Nationalist Chinese, but that also means the Red Chinese, mainland government has that right, as they consider the Nationalist Chinese Island as their territory, including its airspace.
[GUAM]
Now, most [Jar Heads] Marines like Gibbs from [NCIS] Naval Criminal Investigative Service came from one of those town that standing under the one traffic light in town, that had a constant speed trap and if you drove one kilometer over or under the speed limit you when in front of the local barber shop judge who gave you a stiff fine, and from that point beneath the traffic signal one could see the town limits in both directions, and that is why they joined the Marines to get away from it. Well, Guam is that one traffic light town but the only difference the edge of town drops off for leagues into the Pacific Ocean with a lot of big sharks, and for a female its like Jimmy Buffets song Sharks to the left, Sharks to the right and you’re the only meal in town. A family sent to Guam either comes back with more in the family, or no longer a family due to D-I-V-O-R-C-E. The advantage to the one traffic light town there is a way out, and if you run out of something you can simple drive down the road and get it, it don’t work that way in Guam, you run out, guess what you have to wait until a supply ship or cargo plane fly’s more in. So what does this have to do with anything Guam Senator Judith P. Guthertz, who is the chair of the Committee on Military Buildup and Homeland Security in the Senate, got [8K]Eight Thousand Marines relocated from Japan to Guam, you got it [8K] more Marines in a one traffic light community, at taxpayer expense with [EVERYTHING] having to be provided from large distances at cost, big costs
[PILE NOT SCOOP]
So, my only reply to David Scott of (www.Freethegods.blogspot.com), this whole thing is not a scoop of horse manure, it’s a massive pile of horse, manure.

There’s at least one editor who doesn’t know what “many” means. And is probably banking on readers not knowing how a median is calculated.
Wait, an audio question on a blog and all the answers didn’t involve DIY tube amps and horns? WTF kind of hipster liberals are you people. Your membership cards are all revoked.

OK, I’ll take a stab at it. This is pure guesswork:
1) WaPo reported originally that the staff got raises.
2) Cuomo or his handlers read this and went batshit because, even though it’s true for most of the staff, he cut his own pay and that of his top aides, and he wanted credit for that.
3) WaPo ran the correction to appease him.
There’s at least one editor who doesn’t know what “many” means. And is probably banking on readers not knowing how a median is calculated.
Ok, now I’m confused. Last week they were all DFHs and unemployed bums who were too lazy to get a job and this week they’re all rich frat boys who are just there for the beer. It’s getting really hard to keep up,=.
Oops. I meant NY Post just now, of course, not WaPo.

Ahhh, see, there’s the more likely source of the “error”….
When your friends and family beg you you to take your pills, that is evidence that they love you and want you to get better. That is not evidence that they are part of the conspiracy. If you hearing voices that other people can’t hear, that is a sign you need help. There is no conspiracy. The reactionary right can’t work together any better than the radical left.
I have heard that the percent chance of being able to keep a secret is the square of the number of people that know it. The scale of the conspiracies you persist in describing would take the effort of thousands of people. Napoleon himself said that it was important to never attribute anything to malice that could adequately be explained by incompetence.

Have you considered the ever so slim possibility that these people actually believe that economic disparity is a major problem for this country. Not all rich people are greedy pricks you know.
Moar self-refuting bullshite Pennis?
Northeastern limo liberals, huh? Occupy has been camping out in Zuccotti Park since September 19. Either these “limousine liberals” are pretty fucking dedicated to teh cause or they aren’t particularly representative of teh movement. Or both.
Pascal’s Wager was never a good argument.
And you’d be encouraging everyone else here to go get arrested, too.
I dunno about Thread Bear, but I’d liek to wholeheartedly support Pennis getting arrested.
Wow. The Daily Caller has found that among the nearly 1000 OWS arrestees they looked at, ten of them gave the address of a really nice house as their residence.
So that’s what, 1%?
Rings a bell somehow…

DenDen, no one is interested in your words. Or anything else about you.
Occupy has been camping out in Zuccotti Park since September 19. Either these “limousine liberals” are pretty fucking dedicated to teh cause or they aren’t particularly representative of teh movement. Or both.
Or they’ve been living in apartments they’ve been sharing with people and then lost a job and had to move out.
But it wouldn’t occur to Tucker Carlson to investigate that bit, no sirree!
Say, when was the last Teabagger rally to last even overnight, much less six weeks?
Dennis is angry because those kids are out there standing up for what they believe in, and he can’t even stand up to take a leak.
Dirty fucking rich hippies. Yup.
So, 99% of the 99% living in unremarkable circumstances is suddenly “news”?
Also, that in NY and its environs, the average house is more expensive than the national average? Who knew?
Occupy has been camping out in Zuccotti Park since September 19. Either these “limousine liberals” are pretty fucking dedicated to teh cause or they aren’t particularly representative of teh movement. Or both.
So which is it? Are we a bunch of elitist limousine liberals or a bunch of freeloading welfare queens?
If they can’t even keep their straw-men straight I’m not sure how they expect me to.
OK, questions:
1.) The first argument against the OWS was that they were dirty, smelly, mooching hippies. Now, they’re rich party kids? Which is it?
2.) If it’s the latter, wouldn’t that make them worthy of praise, not mockery, since, according to wingnut logic being rich makes you moral, productive and, oh yeah, apparently EVERY SINGLE RICH PERSON IN THE WORLD is a job creator?
3.) Are the protesters in Oakland rich party kids?
4.) Will the wingnuts ever get their stories straight?
If they can’t even keep their straw-men straight I’m not sure how they expect me to.
Scorecards! Gitcher scorecards hyear!

So they live in dingy rat-infested studios in the shittiest neighborhoods in town? Hardly “opulence”.
I was laughing at that Daily Caller article. Median house price of $305,000!!! OMG! What’s that get you in New York, a time share on a parking spot?
Still, it misses teh whole point. Actually it reinforces teh message of teh 99. They are teh 99. Some of them are teh 93rd percentile. Because as regal and opulent a home they find – it pales before teh offensive lairs of teh top 1%. Teh top 1% really do have so much that it is beyond teh imaginings of Tucker’s
inkPOOP-stained wretches.Teh cutoff for teh 1% is around a third of a million a year. The net worth cutoff for teh 1% is seven figures, and teh first figure is only barely a “1”. Those half million dollar homes? You’d need to own three of them to have a chance at being considered top 1%. Those hated limousine liberal professional protesters? Pampered in their trust fund luxury? They are still part of teh 99. It’s only teh folks who have way moare wealth than that that are being targetted.

Also, 5) The protestors at OWS are apparently 27 year old men who missed protesting in the 60s and 70s in Selma who think this may be their last chance.
Too.

DenDen, no one cares about you and your shit. You blew off any goodwill months ago.
Let’s take a look at teh 1% again.
This graphic is particularly egregious. Looking at only teh growth in inequality teh 1% has made in teh past thirty years – they could buy one of those half million dollar homes EVERY FUCKING YEAR. In cash. And that’s just on teh EXTRA money they’re taking home – i.e. in addition to wev mansions they’d be normally buying.
Go and find teh most pampered and wealthy of teh OWS core and vilify them all you want – because odds are that they’re still part of teh 99. Teh 99 really is everybody. Everybody you know or meet or talk to. It’s not 99 out of 100 folks – because teh top 1% really do live in a whole different world.
When I got out of college–
BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
No, No, DenDen! That Daily Caller article YOU cited mentioned the average age was 27 years old!
So unless they got their hands on Obama’s Magic Time Machine, they missed Selma by about, ooohhhhhhhh, 25 years or so!
Nice try, Dickhead.
Let’s take a look at teh 1% again.
Citing math to DenDen is like describing colours to a man blind since birth.
*Ahem* me if necessary, but this takedown needs to be reposted.

By the way, how come we’re not talking about the four old white redneck terrorists?
Send to Gitmo!
Okay Pennis, let’s try this again.
When you graduated college teh unemployment rate was in teh 9% range, but no one was protesting Carter’s last years in office. Guess what? At teh same point in time in this recession – i.e. after a full year of near double digit unemployment – no one was protesting. It’s only as we’re closing in on teh second fucking anniversary of >9% unemployment that folks are goint to teh streets.
You had college loans? You know what teh average debt load of a college graduate is today? It’s over 20K – what was yours? Also too, average salary for college grads is declining like mad.
You know what Pennis? You are part of teh 99, although you may have met people who made their way to teh top 1%. That’s not happening any moar. Teh gulf between 98th percentile and 99th percentile has just gotten bigger and bigger and bigger – let alone what’s happening to teh folks making less than six figures a year. If you were graduating college now, you would not only be part of teh 99, but so would your entire graduating class. And everyone they knew too. And none of them would have a chance at breaking that barrier.
All those dirty lazy kids hanging out liek bums in teh park? They were told to work hard and stay in school and things will be okay for them. They worked hard, they stayed in school. All they have to show for it is crushing debt loads. Social mobility is at an all-time low. Teh folks at teh top are there because they cheated – and they’re cheating still – and their primary goal is to stay at teh top, while everyone else remains merely everyone else.
Seriously, teh prospects for everyone not born to one of teh ultra elite families is worse now than it was thirty years ago when you finished school. Everyone except teh 1%. How is that something you can defend?
OK, more questions:
Now, let’s say for arguments sake that there are rich people down there protesting. They would either be there because:
1.) They genuinely believe in the cause or
2.) They’re just spoiled kids doing it for a larf
Now if you believe 2, to discredit the OWS movement, you’d have to believe that a sizable portion of said movement is made up of rich brats. Do you REALLY think that’s true? Because if you do, there’s a wingnut named “Zombie” who disagrees with you. He’s implying that the OWSers are all freaks and drug addicts did some awesome (totally not biased) photojournalism to prove his point.
Whether you acknowledge that rich folks are down there or not, it DOES NOT HELP YOUR ARGUMENT.
Of course if you believe 1 is the case, you have to give me a good reason why wealthy people are excluded from caring about those who less so.
Never helping your community is helping your community.
I can’t imagine why protesters would protest at the branch of a bank that has boned so many Americans. Clearly they should move their protest to lawns of mansions in the gated communities where the presidents and CEO’s of banks live. Clearly the presidents and CEO’s of the most reviled industry in America will allow them a full unprejudiced hearing and immediately do everything they can to redress the unfairness in the American economy today.
Or just maybe, they might not. They just might turn up the stereo and drown out the noise of riot police clearing the rabble, if they are even at home and not living it up on vacation. Just maybe the protesters thought they might talk to someone who had to listen. Maybe the protesters thought they might take some action to show their displeasure in a tangible fashion. Perhaps they thought of a way to draw attention to the way a certain company or two is not really working to the benefit of its depositors and decided they did not want to do business with a company that’s business practices could show the local loansharks a thing or two about heartlessness.
How is that something you can defend?
Because! You know! He’s an idiot!
Really DK-W? Then why are they yelling and screaming at bank tellers and branch managers and calling them the 1%? Why are they being targeted when they make less than you do as a teacher?
Who fucking cares?
Really Pennis. Who. Fucking. Cares?
OWS has a point. It is irrefutable. Maybe some of them are making it badly – although teh folks at Zuccotti Park most definitely are not. You want to be upset about teh handful of misbehaved jerks that Faux News thinks are teh entirety of teh movement, go right ahead. It is after all, incredibly stupid and completely off teh mark – which is par for teh course for you.
Srsly d00d – it is not a case of “everyone associated with OWS is a saint”. That’s your type of “with us or with teh terrorists” type of thinking. But teh movement has very valid greivances. Because teh system is so very fucked up.
Clearly they should move their protest to lawns of mansions in the gated communities where the presidents and CEO’s of banks live.
First, you have to figure out which one of their homes.
PROTIP: If your candidate can’t immediately answer “one” to the question “How many homes do you own?” they aren’t like you or anyone else you know.

Two parakeets.
The same amount of money would buy you a real keet.
Do two parakeet beat three of a kind? I can never keep that straight.
Let’s put this another way –
Even if we accept Pennis’ fictional protesters – the ones who have as their only goal, increasing teh suffering of bank tellers who are barely making a livable wage. THAT is what offends him. OMG, teh poor bank tellers and branch managers! How awful for them!
Where is your fucking sense of perspective? Teh assholes of teh 1% are grabbing moar and moar of teh pie – not because they want or need it. They have so fucking much wealth that they could not hope to spend it all. They are doing it because for them IT IS ALL A FUCKING GAME.
They work to add another million to their already nine figure net worths – just for teh sake of it. They aren’t investing that money or creating jobs with it – they are using it as a part of their penis-measuring contest with teh other 1%ers.
All of this as we approach a third year of > 9% unemployment rates. While tens of millions of people are without health insurance. While teh foreclosure rates are so fucking high that banks own roughly teh same share of housing as they did during teh Depression.
And yet for teh people who are complaining about this historic inequality – all Pennis has is contempt. “Buy them another pizza.”
Great.
To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.
For that latter purpose, I call your attention to the rectal-smoke-upblower kit.
Two parakeets.
Damn Cult of Set ain’t what it used to be.
UR still on that Gawker-glibertarian thing?
Let me see if I understand your complaint. You are saying that I misrepresented libertarians by connecting the ideology with the notions presented by some random dude in a Gawker comment thread. That’s your complaint right?
I call your attention to the rectal-smoke-upblower kit.
I’ll need to buy a couple for my toadies, minions and flunkies. Also my yes-men.
If you’re writing that, by definition you’re certainly not thinking it.
Funny dictionary you get there, DenDen.
Because teh “pet peeve” I have – teh unfair accusation I level at glibertarians is that they claim that government should get out of providing any social safety net since private charities can take up teh slack.
Because for you to have any point at all, that accusation has to be false. That glibertarians don’t actually believe that private charities should be doing all those things so that we cn have smaller goverment and tax cuts.
Two parakeets.

Stossel link: “Almost all economists say it’s nonsense,” he said. “And the reason is: We should buy things where they’re cheapest. That frees up more of our resources to buy other things, and other Americans get jobs producing those things.”
So if I only buy cheap Chinese crap, I can afford to buy more expensive American made stuff I don’t ever buy? Wow, “almost all economists” are idiots.

The Libertarian Party offers a positive alternative to the failed welfare state. We offer a vision of a society based on work, individual responsibility, and private charity.
Right, because that’s never been tried and failed. Jesus, I almost hope every one of those assholes gets automated out of a job, but I don’t suppose that would change anything because their inability to find work or enough private charity to survive would obviously be different.
D’oh! I guess I walked right into that club.

You can be really heartless.

Of course you also have Ayn Rand arguing that altruism and charity were bad things, unless you got your jollies at the spectacle of poor people abasing themselves for coins in which case it was beneficial.
Why does Terry Pujols need $30mm a year? Why aren’t the OWSers protesting A-Rod and the big piece of that same pie.
They’re protesting the even richer assholes who pay them that, shithead.
Jesus fucking Christ DenDen, you’re embarrassingly stoopid!

Logitech makes a really small 2.1 deal for dirt cheap. I have the next bigger ones, and they sound ok, but the sub is probably too big for you with those. I also have a pair of Altecs that are discontinued, but sound pretty good for not having a sub. I’d bet they have a direct successor that behaves about the same.

Okay Pennis. Here’s what I said that apparently so offended you:
Yeah, I used that one guy to springboard into a criticism of libertarianism – that is true. My criticism of them was that they argue that private charites can and should replace government in providing social services. THAT IS FUCKING TRUE. I WAS CRITICISING LIBERTARIANS FOR THINGS THEY PROFESS TO BELIEVE!!!
It’s not controversial. Fuck.
If anything, Gawker thread d00d is actually less offensive about private charities taking over than most glibertarians – a possibility I concede in that original comment.
My Altec Lansing setup looks like this, but is just two satellites and a sub. Older, but it rawks the haus.

You guys pick out weird comments from anonymous freaks and discuss them at length as if they were the speakers for conservatism and glibertarianism, when most of the time they’re no different than Cerberus casually journalling her thoughts at the end of the day here.
You know, people like Rush and Beck started out as “anonymous freaks,” and look at them now!*

Yeah, it’s really unfair of you guys to pay attention to what people actually say.

Hey DenBob! I’m having mushroom soup. Whole Paycheck had chanterelles for $4.99 / lb (!) so I snagged a huge-ass boatload. Also some criminis and shiitakes too just because I goddamn could. Coarsely chop those motherfuckers, saving some of the crimini for slicing to be added later. Saute over medium high in butter until they start to brown. Add a couple-three finely sliced leeks (white parts only) and cook until soft. Strip the leaves from a number of thyme sprigs and toss em in dat shit. Give it a good grinding of black pepper and add a few tankers-ful of veggie broth. Simmer for a while. Thicken with beurre manie, dose with some cream and correct seasoning.
I made a huge batch the other day and am now having the last bowl with a crusty roll slathered with Irish butter. OM NOM NOM.
FWIW, last night i made chicken fried steak. That’s right, chicken fucking fried fucking steak. White gravy, mashed potate, steamed broccoloccoloccoli. Yum.
Now suck my cock.
Show me one OWS sign or one hippie protesting baseball owners or the outrageous prices they charge to go to a game these days, actor.

Somoene did a study of who makes up the one percent.
Surprisingly, actors and other “celebrities” (because I refuse to be associated with the Kardashians) were the numerically largest group, followed by athletes, then I think doctors, lawyers, then bankers.

Yes, I said it! And the world is ending!
That is simultaneously one of the reddest herrings and speediest goalposts I have ever seen. No one fucking cares about baseball ticket prices. They are a symptom of exactly what OWS is protesting. Namely if the bottom 99% of wages had risen with the 1% for the last thirty years, the average employed person could still easily afford season tickets at current prices.

We can agree that bank tellers should not be harassed. I can concede that point. I still haven’t seen any actual evidence that there exists any protesters who actually think what you’ve attributed to them but wev.
Harassing teh little guy, teh wage slave to teh Big Bank – not cool. Those little guys are indeed part of teh 99.
As for putting them in harm’s way? That’s not teh protesters. Your one story is about some guy that stuck a sticker on a window. Teh cop over-reaction included teh detaining and arresting a BoA customer who wanted to close her account. If there’s lunacy there, it’s not teh protestors that are displaying it.
As to why I’m not in New York getting arrested – it’s because I’m chickenshit. I’ll admit it. I do not rate for tear gas or “less-than-lethal” crowd control techniques. I started pretty soft and have gotten softer as I age. If you’re looking for Internet Tough Guy, well that ain’t me.
So Pennis, why aren’t you down in Manhattan patrolling teh banks to keep teh branch managers safe?
DenDen has a point: we probably didn’t alert the authorities to those clowns wearing tri-corner hats and colonial uniforms. Those folks carried muskets in the day! They were trying to overthrow the American system!
Fuck you actor, and not in the nice way like you used to beg me for.
You’ll come around.
Gee….aren’t tellers behind these big thick glass partitions now?
I know nearly every bank on Wall Street uses those, except maybe Amalgamated but then Amalgamated started as a union-sponsored bank so the robbers stayed away since they were the good guys.
Go bone up a little about bank branch security, actor.
Really? You mean tellers behind three inch thick bulletproof glass were in danger from costumes and make up?????
Can I borrow your drugs?
Somoene did a study of who makes up the one percent.
Your study.
Arts and entertainment rates pretty low at about 2%.
Teh top 4 jobs are Executives (non-finance), Doctors, Lawyers, Executives (finance) making up around 2/3.
“FWIW, last night i made chicken fried steak. That’s right, chicken fucking fried fucking steak. White gravy, mashed potate, steamed broccoloccoloccoli. Yum.
Now suck my cock.”
I LOVE YOU.
God help these poor creatures.
Arts and entertainment rates pretty low at about 2%.
Yes, but they rated tops in the number of people who wer ein the one percent, according to the study I saw the other day.
I MAEK LOTSA POOPY CAUSE PEOPLE EAT IT UP
YOU LOVE MAH POOPIES
Go bone up a little about bank branch security, actor.
*fingersnap*
I got it! The protestors held a fart-in!
Dennis evidently still has butthurt about zombie-dressed Hallowe’en reveller leaving
blood-stainsred sticky smears inna bank foyer, whom Dennis has assumed on the basis of telepathic insight to be an OWS protester “mad at derivatives traders”.I am personally more concerned with straw men harrassing the bank tellers.
We get it really. Enough is enough. We realize there is no depth to which you won’t stoop, no lie too facile, no statement too mendacious, in your effort to keep thinking you are on the side of the angels, and everyone who disagrees with you is clearly a bolshevik.
Shouldn’t you be off somewhere ignoring the homeless, or cheering on a collection agency? Just remember to look surprised when you get your ass downsized. Pretend no one ever told you it would be like this when you can’t get a job. Act shocked when your house gets foreclosed.
POOPY-DOOP DOOP POOPIES

POOP
Stop the presses!!!
As far as I can tell, Dennis wants to tar the OWS movement with the brush of “politics of envy” but he can’t be arsed finding evidence, so he has pulled a Goldberg and asked actor212 to conduct the research for him.
So. How ’bout that bowtie and WWIII?
Was I possessed by tsam for a moment? I meant “Damn you and your fast fingers!”
You are always possessed by tsam.
I’m saying there are reasons why a crowd can’t just loiter in a bank branch or lobby, and contrary to actor’s idiot non-point, not all tellers sit in perfect safety behind 3 inch bullet-proof glass.
And to rebut your idiotic rebuttal…on Wall Street, they do, and I defy you to find one, just one, branch of a major commercial bank down there where the tellers are NOT behind glass partitions from the counter to the ceiling.
Go on. I can wait.
I’m just gonna come right out and say it: LITTLE MCGRAVITAS IS A MENACE TO
BANKERSSOCIETY!As far as I can tell, Dennis wants to tar the OWS movement with the brush of “politics of envy” but he can’t be arsed finding evidence, so he has pulled a Goldberg and asked actor212 to conduct the research for him.
Pretty much.
Plus, what DenDen forgets is that ballplayers salaries are paid by our disposable discretionary income, whereas bankstahs make their money off holding, then losing, our hard-earned money and mortgages.
the guard has far less control and he has no idea if the guy dressed up as a zombie is a harmless OWS DFH or some guy who wants to rob the place
Equally true, of course, of people not dressed as zombies.
I think we can all agree that banks would run much more smoothly if people just gave them their money and never entered a bank foyer again.
Wait. You mean that because people dressed up as zombies and walked into a bank, that put the staff there in danger? Because they were dressed funny?
What. The. Fuck? Because in your crazy fantasy land some security guard loses his shit over zombie cosplay and shoots everyone?
If crazy ass security guards shoot up teh place because they are stupid idiots like you – that’s not teh fake zombie’s fault. Fuck. They weren’t bank robbers. They weren’t armed. Teh only people in danger is basically you because I can’t understand how someone so stupid can continue to breathe on their own.
I think we can all agree that banks would run much more smoothly if people just gave them their money and never entered a bank foyer again.
“Welcome to Megabank. Leave your money and get out.”
Must suck being a bank guard in Alaska. Everyone’s wearing a ski mask.
I’m not at OWS because Soros hasn’t paid for my airfare…yet. Meanwhile ACORN is there holding down the fort – god bless ’em!
You mean that because people dressed up as zombies and walked into a bank, that put the staff there in danger? Because they were dressed funny?
You may not know this, but Halloween is an American bank holiday. So is Easter, Christmas, any wedding day, days where the local school holds its annual pageant, and to grandmothers who smeared too much pancake make up on.
All, you know, to protect the tellers.
OMG! Pennis is putting all of us at risk! What if some cop thinks he’s a super evil criminal mastermind and ultra terrorist! They don’t all dress liek bin Laden you know! Then maybe teh CIA black ops d00ds are going to hunt us all down for talking to him! OMG! It’s all Pennis’ fault if we get extraordinarily rendered to Syria or something!
Dennis is like a Baptist with his Rentboys. Just cannot get ENOUGH of it.
FWIW, last night i made chicken fried steak.
So how did you teach the chicken to fry a steak?
They learn on their own, and pretty quick too… if you take hostages.
So how did you teach the chicken to fry a steak?
By roti.

You fry that there steak or the eggs are poached!
Only an idiot like Dennis would get shot dead pressing an alarm button trying to save money that’s not his and is fully insured against theft anyway.
By roti.
Oh Pluck U…

I thought ghoti was fish.

Well, if you can teach them to catch a Tory…

Holy shit! Is the world ending???
I made it an offer it couldn’t refuse. “Either fry the steak or there’ll be steak fried chicken on the menu.” Worked a charm.
Dennis is dumb enough to get shot trying to save 15% on his car insurance.

If we did this right–including a massive slashing of taxes for the rich and middle class–we’d see private dollars take care of the deserving poor after the bums have been forced to work or starve.
I’m sure that my 96 year old grandma could do phone work like customer service or selling credit cards to people who have declared bankruptcy. To think that that woman who had to turn down a full Fulbright scholarship to study art in NYC because her father didn’t approve, who raised five children as a single woman working as a newspaper and typesetter in three cities in the fifties and early sixties, who did such a great job of making and ironing all our clothes that everybody asked her who her “nigger lady” was and couldn’t believe she did it all herself, who took care of me and my cousin and saw my cousin through a degree in Chemistry and a degree in Library science, who took care of my cousin’s children while she got those degrees, who has made hundreds of quilts and the best homemade noodles you’ve ever had, who is so in need of caring that she has never been without a coddled pet, who always had a garden, who was so independent that she didn’t want to use a shower chair because she was afraid she might become “dependent” on it—this women needs to get a fucking job and find something better to do than laze about the nursing home where she’s been staying since she tripped over her dog (she denies this because she can’t bear the thought of anyone being angry with her dog). I’m going to call my grandma right now, and ask her what the hell is wrong with her parasitic ass.
Snarking at rightwing blogsters who post on rightwing blogs that hold themselves out as representing the Right is totes the same as pointing at “some d00d” and saying he’s a representative of an entire movement.

Defend your Second Amendment rights against the stickie grabbers! If stickies are outlawed only outlaws will have stickies!
Wow, so you’re saying all bank personnel are in perfect safety from bank robbers all day long, every day because there’s are glass partitions protecting them from all harm.
No, I’m saying you”re a fucking idiot.
Wow, so you’re saying […]
No. No, he was not. Another strawman goes up in flames.

Careful with those stickies, DenDen! They might be loaded!
Idiotic troll is idiotic.
Yeah, if you’re not a bunch of hypocrites then why DON’T you stupid libs protest A-Rod & Kobe falsely foreclosing on all those mortgages? Oh, wait.
Plus tellers are at dire risk from people in funny outfits with signs, red paint &/or Post-It Notes!
THIS ATROCITY WILL NOT STAND.
Plus tellers are at dire risk from people in funny outfits with signs, red paint &/or Post-It Notes!
That there is some fancy talkin’ yer doin’ that there Post-It Notes…why cain’t you say Stickie? Aintchew Murican?
Maybe if we gave the tellers enough stickies to wrap themselves up in, they wouldn’t need those big ol’ glass partitions to protect them from bank robbin’ zombies with magic markers?
twenty people parading around acting like idiots is a definite security risk.
I’ll be sure to call the DHS when your relatives come over for Thanksgiving.
This seems to echo DenBob’s approach. The way to keep the bankstas from stealing your money is to not have any for them to steal!
Dennis,
We know you’re not coming here for the hunting if you know what I mean and I think you do. You have established that your debate skills count heavily on lies, red herrings, straw men and deliberately missing the point. Are you that thirsty for abuse? Are you a patent medicine salesman? An investment banker? A mortgage broker? A University of Chicago economist? Do you need other people for other people to tell you what a fraud you are because your customers and co-workers are too gullible to see through you? Does the guilt at being a charlatan and a terrible human being eat at you? Are you losing sleep? Are you gaining weight? Are you turning to drugs and alcohol and anonymous gay sex at truck stops? Is the strain showing at work? Does your wife notice? Are you dropping the ball at work? At home? In bed? Do you need a rest? A break? Are the voices getting louder? Harder to ignore? What are you going to do about it?
Second Amendment solutions.
If there’s anyone who deserves to walk into a bank in costume and get shot, it’s these assholes.
POST MY POOPY!
Plus tellers are at dire risk from people in funny outfits with signs, red paint &/or Post-It Notes!
Imagine the disruption possible with an entire costume MADE OF pos-tit notes!!
Ooooh, protesters trailing cops and cameras, what a fine time to rob a bank.
When you find a judge who’s sympathetic to that kind of an excuse for a protester as to why he shouldn’t have been arrested
Key assumption seeks like-minded evidentiary basis.
I’m guessing you’d pretty much think
We know, you keep guessing. Try thinking for a change there, DenBob.
Perhaps you’d with the same fate for the assholes who did this a few Halloweens ago, Bitter, but I kinda doubt it.
I prefer the same fate for assholes who constantly spout non-sequiturs.
I’ll just leave this here for possible future use by Tintin.
That settles that. DenBob is definitely an assumed persona. No one could be that st00pid™ yet be alive.
For DenDen these DFHs going into the marble- lined bank lobby and defiling it with their costumes and snarky sticky notes is like heathens looting a cathedral and taking a dump in the holy water. He’s nothing if not devoted to his gods Croesus and Mammon.
Why do you think they were arrested ..
Love the old “since they were arrested they must have been doing something wrong” trope. I’m just saying.
Ooooh, protesters trailing cops and cameras, what a fine time to rob a bank.
I larfed, I did. Audibly.
And what a huge PR move for the banks, too, at a tough time for them.
You made a funny!
Oh for FSM’s sake people, the dancing badgers don’t do any good when you leave mangoes covered in Dennis poop all over the rest of the thread. Ick.
And as the feces-covered snippets of “thought” of his show, Dennis has no original ideas, or even a point. All he wants to do is fight straw men and keep you all occupied (see what I did there?).
And also, too: I thought it was banned? WTF happened?
Pay twenty or so hippies $6.50 an hour to do whatever, post stickies on the counter and act like zombies, whatever, and keep robbers away forever.
$50 bucks and I won’t puck all over your pretty glass doors again today.
Nobody can be banned from anywhere on the net except temporarily. While our hosts are busy puffing away in the opium dens of the Far East you’ll have to live with it.

Looks like I missed lots of fun or,er, something. Glad I got something done in the real world, even walking miles up and down ladders laden with air tools and shakes is more fun than arguing with Dennis, if that is his real name.
Costumes and political protest.
Y’know, stuff that could happen could happen. Possibly. AmIrite??
Yeah, and since the banned thing knows it’s banned, it had to work to actively circumvent the ban. It takes a particularly fucked-up type of creature to feel so self important as to actually have to work to force its unwanted presence on others.
Shorter me: trolls are stupid and hideous creatures.
Yes, Dennis was gone for awhile, but then a sewer line got backed up, and bloop, he came bobbing up to the surface again. An unsuccessful sewercide.

Capital idea! The invisible hand holds carrots and sticks. She and the dog could also be given treats, so long as they’ve earned them by pushing at least half of the value of her work uphill so that the 1% can remain the 1% and have the disposable income necessary to purchase an NFL team or a small third world country where many small hands make light the making of textiles, clothing, and shoes.

Bob Shaw novel — “The Shadow of Heaven”.
Derbyshire wonders if there is such a thing as “Sexual harrassment”.
Of course he stole that from the NY Post, who outright claim that it’s mostly all lies, trying to keep a good man down and whatnot:
This, of course, appears right next to a spectacularly tantalizing invitation to view bikini and lingerie models printed by this same rag.
“Dark Sky Station” is a cool name!
I’m so there if this ever gets finished!
Badass comment from this NY Post … thing:
When Cain’s history of harassment inevitably comes out, who’ll be the first rightie to blame Clinton for Cain’s sexual peccadilloes?
Even crazy communist libertines know that “hey, suck my dick because I’m the boss” is a smidge over the line.
Even crazy communist libertines know that “hey, suck my dick because I’m the boss” is a smidge over the line.
Oh. Uh, YEAH. I totally knew that already.
Oooh, Demoncrappers! That’s so clever!
I saw an item today, can’t be arsed to look it up, wherein Perry’s pollster claims that when he was the pollster for the NRA (the Cain org., not the Chucky cold dead hands one) he witnessed Cain sexually harassing women. Even cited a particular instance at a DC restaurant. (para)Quoth he, “everyone knew this was coming.” I wonder if he was the one that tipped Roverer.
This is what caught my attention:
I don’t know what that is, but I DO NOT LIKE IT.
Also this:
I tried to ask him, but I can’t find him since he lost his job.
It absolutely cracks me up that these people thing that the Democrats had something to do with this Cain thing. Right, cap’n crazybread takes a lead in the polls over Willard, and the Dems crap themselves. Sure. And then they leak something to “Politico” of all places. Are you fucking kidding me?
Like the Dems wouldn’t love to have the pizza guy as the nominee. A head-to-head between Obama and Cain would be hilarious to watch. Popcorn sales would skyrocket!
This could be Rove, but it also has oneLtwoN’s jammy VP-wantin’ fingerprints all over it.

That’s the funny part. Yeah, and Tucker Carlson was always a liberal because he featured that post on Shely’s migraines.
Is there anyone who thinks sexual harassment is a real thing?
I know it’s a real thing. The second time I had to tell my First Shirt not to make crude, personal remarks to me I invited him to our quiet study room, looked him in the eye and said, “I like you. I enjoy working with you. But the crude and personal sexual remarks I’ve kindly asked you once not to make are a problem. If I have to ask you again, it will be in a meeting with “the Captain” (the officer in charge whose rank was Captain, so we called him that because it sounded Star Trekky and not like stilted military lingo), the Commander, and your wife.” I held eye contact for two seconds longer then walked out with my head held high, and he never so much as made a sexist peep in my presence. Not bad for an 18 year old young woman, huh?
Sexual discrimination is real, as well. I had a job on landscaping crew for the University of Texas. We were a special team that ripped up old beds and planted new ones. After working there for nine months, never missing a day, and never being late, I was told that I was going to be let go because I was going to start school in the Fall anyway. My other two male crew members (who I could keep up with shovel for shovel) were offered permanent jobs even though they had been late, missed days, and were caught stealing from the University. They were caught stealing garbage, but nevertheless they were caught and it was noted in their records. As soon as I found out, I stood up in our little work warehouse (where we played cards and fucked around when it was raining) and said really loudly, “I’ll be damned if you’re letting me go!” The crowd parted like the Red Sea before Moses before I—one pissed off woman stirring all their primordial fears of the destroyer mother— barreled to the office. I spent my last four months working at the Chancellor’s house with two professional horticulturists, a pond, two green houses, five acres, and a mansion with a huge circular driveway.
The last Chancellor’s wife was a real fruit cake. She was totally anal and would send the notes she left for staff to a calligrapher. She kept insisting that the driveway was not white enough. Finally the crew used a cleaner that made all the grass around the driveway curl up and die. And all the little birds, raccoons, squirrels, possums and other little furry animals dropped dead. The crew chief put on a football helmet and walked circles around the mansion many times in protest. Then, the crew got permission to go organic. So, when I worked there, I got to learn what they were doing to bring life back to the grounds and keep it. I walked the four or five miles to work and back every day. I was always on time, and never missed a day. It was so unbelievably fucking sweet. I loved that job. Most of the time there I was quitted smoking, but one very hot August day I accidentally cut my palm with a fine pair of Swiss shears. I heard it, felt a twitch then looked at palm, thinking, ‘No. I didn’t.’ Then I watched as my palm pooled with blood. My first thought was, ‘Damn, I want a cigarette.’ And so ends the story of the only scar I have from landscaping.
We’re coming for your bullets and bank deposits, Dennis…
Is there anyone who thinks sexual harassment is a real thing? Is there anyone who doesn’t know it’s all a lawyers’ ramp, like “racial discrimination“?
Shirley Derbyshire — the great contrarian intellectual of NRO — would not stoop to the everybody-knows argumentum ad populum that is too stupid for even Dennis to use it. Because that would be really sad. This is not even an argument, so much as Derbyshire asserting his tribal bona fides by showing that he accepts the received opinion.
Notice also too the title of his piece, riffing on the “Kill all the lawyers” line from Henry IV.2, because everyone knows that without tort lawyers there would be no torts. Lotsa smart people have pointed out that the line, in context, comes from a would-be dictator, describing his strategy for eliminating all obstacles to his dictatorship.

YOU MONSTER.
Pennis,
I must be easy to troll because I’m going to respond to you despite teh fact that you are obviously a complete and total idiot. We are talking about a story you brought to us, and you don’t even fucking know what happened in it.
1. Yeah banks don’t liek people loitering making teh line-ups seem long and being intrusive of their actual operators. NOT FOR SECURITY REASONS. For fuck’s sake, you accused other people of having a faulty notions of bank robberies, but you are teh one claiming would-be bank robbers hang up loitering in one of teh most video surveilled places open to teh public immediately before they commit felonies? That they would intentional draw attention to themselves, hang about to make sure everyone got a good look at them, and then try and rob teh place.
2. They were arrested? They arrested one guy for two misdemeanors. Both charges notorious for being so ridculously broadly defined that anyone could be charged at almost any time. Whoop-de-frigging-do.
3. And now you are accusing us of not understanding bank security. Oooh, get some DFH’s and kumbayah! No one ever claimed any such retarded shit – you are teh one that said that teh zombie protest put teh lives of teh bank staff at risk. Based entirely on your perverted sick fantasies of shooting unarmed protesters for wearing zombie make-up.
Seriously Pennis, you are wrong so often and in so many ways, that it’s starting to look liek you aren’t just randomly grasping at straws. I mean, broken clock and blind squirrels and all that. But you’re batting average is so bad it’s a negative number.
P.S. That one guy they arrested, such a notorious endangerer of bank staff? You know, you’ve been masterbating to teh thought of him ruining his life with a criminal record (of a Class A Misdemeanor!)
He was relased teh same day he was arrested. We probably won’t be able to tell you when his record gets expunged because they are probably going to drop teh charges.
You know what’s bad? Sticky stuff and feathers.

If we did this right–including a massive slashing of taxes for the rich and middle class–we’d see private dollars take care of the deserving poor after the bums have been forced to work or starve.
What stopped them from taking care of the deserving poor when there were no income taxes?
Snarking at rightwing blogsters who post on rightwing blogs that hold themselves out as representing the Right is totes the same as pointing at “some d00d” and saying he’s a representative of an entire movement.
But all the OWS protesters are rich because a couple are, or dangerous because one zombie costume guy put a post-it someplace, etc.
Maybe Cain did harass some employees.
But if he did he really didn’t because they’re mostly made up even when they aren’t?
Is there anyone who thinks sexual harassment is a real thing?
No indeed, Humbert Humbert.
Dmoncrappers have no moral values and that is okay
Which is why Wiener and Edwards are co-presidents. Boo us!
What stopped them from taking care of the deserving poor when there were no income taxes?
“Deserving poor” is an oxymoron, thilly.
.
Why is it okay for “bums” to starve? Did I miss the point where having anyone starving in the street stopped being a sign of a horribly ill society?
Oh gosh, N_B, you’re such a dumb, naive liberal. People are always going to fall through the cracks…and since you can’t save all of them right away you should make no attempt to save any of them ever.
A few hundred people are marching across the Hawthorne bridge, in solidarity with the Oaklanders. They crossed barriers to do so, the riot squad is waiting on the west approach.
Earlier today lieberal fag mayor Sam Adams was on one of the local reichwing AM radio talk shows. Referencing that he has not evicted the OWS folks from the downtown parks at not inconsiderable expense for police overtime &c., they said “WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO AUORIZE SPENDING THAT TAXPAYER MONEY?!?!?!?”. Um, I was elected mayor?
Since Pennis brought up that Gawker thread and teh private charity lark that glibertarians are always going to, I’m going to air my complaint again.
It’s not that this private charity scheme would never raise anywhere near as much money as is currently being spent. It is plainly obvious to all but the most willfully ignorant (i.e. teh average glibertarian) that this lark is pure bullshit. No, as a generous Dragon-King, I grant this huge gimme. I say “okay let us suspend logic and all observed human nature to this point and assume that you are right – despite having no reason or backing for your claim. Abracadabra – private charities magically do end up with as much or even moar resources to deal with society’s less fortunate.”
I object to it on different grounds – a moar fundamental one.
What’s teh difference between government providing and private charities providing? Government is bound by that pesky Bill of Rights thing – that non-discrimination requirement. Private charities are not. They help whom they please – or rather whom their donors feel are worthy of help.
Teh “why can’t charities do it?” bullshit is all about giving teh wealthy complete control over welfare, Social Security and Medicare. It’s about teh rich and powerful not being powerful enough because they don’t yet have teh power to declare who us to starve to death.
That’s what it’s about. It’s about OMG, I don’t want any of my tax dollars going to those people (i.e. niggers, and maybe teh phaggortzes too) – those people should all just starve to death or die of extremely trivial medical afflictions. Yeah, that is so much teh moar moral position than taxes.

Never mind the incident with cops arresting the lady in the business suit for the heinous crime of trying to close her account – that was just straight outta KGB Country.

FFS. Regressive taxes have teh poor paying a higher tax rate than teh rich, liek ALL CONSUMPTION TAXES DO. Consumption taxes only “look progressive” to rich fucks who hate paying their share and stupid idiots who somehow manage to get jobs writing for business magazines.
shucks
Corn libel!
DKW, that is complete macroeconomic FAIL.
Not you, him. Damn I need to write clearly.
d00d fucking recognizes that saving rate increases with income. Therefore consumption taxes are regressive. Period. Yet immediately after he acknowledges that basic fact – “looks progressive.” They don’t “look progressive.” Just because teh wealthy are already so stinking fucking rich that they blow through multiples of teh median income without even thinking about it – that does not make consumption taxes progressive.

wiley–you should either blog or write a book or both.
I’m working on it, VS. I’ve been going through thousands of photos, and I have all kinds of stories, poems, research I’ve done on my specialty (housekeeping and caregiving), and lots of ideas. Clouds was doing research on blog software today, then while using my computer for something he discovered that “My Web Search” pops up sometimes when the “Google” address is typed in the address bar. It pissed him off, so he started looking at a way to get rid of it. He spent an hour working on it and got close (he’ll kill it with the next thrust), but he had to eat and I had to sit down after doing so much laundry and doing wii-bowling and wii-batting practice on my new flatscreen. I got hot and sweaty and kind of tired. So now I’m going to all my daily haunts and yakking my brains out.
The website is my book. It will be called “My Life in Order” and it’s not a linear order, it’s an attempt at an integrated work/life/health/art/spirit heart path—like Bakti Yoga, or Sufism. It’s all connected, it’s just not something you live or read from start to finish, because wherever you are, there you are.

It seems to me that activism demands, you know, action, DenDen.
If you oppose their actions, perhaps you should go pick up a gun and stand guard over whatever you treasure so.
The men’s room at the bus station?
Mickey Kaus unveiled his Christmas tree.
Hey, all y’all probs already know that Pennis is full of shit and that any resemblance between what he says and actual reality is purely coincidental. So anyways, what he’s whining about now is police over-reaction.
Item – downtown and teh port were closed. By teh call for a general strike and a march. An almost completely peaceful protest – two people were injured. Both protesters that were struck by a car driven by an asshole like Pennis. IOW, the only violence that day was by perpetrated by a shitbag anti-protest driver.
Item – teh violence that erupted that night was because a couple hundred cops decided that just past midnight would be a good time to descend upon the camp and lob a shit-ton of teargas. Were there some Black Bloc shit disturbers there? Yes. And they had been disavowed by the main camp. But much like Pennis who automatically assumes everything that he doesn’t like is grouped together under one single giant umbrella of evil conspiracy, Oakland PD started waking people up so that they could shoot them with “less-than-lethal” projectiles.
And his position is that this whole thing is a “security issue” and what’s really needed apparently is some sort of severe crackdown by teh police or something.
Oh, and the Marine vet who you guys claimed was hit by a projectile from the Oakland police? Not so much.</i?
Oh dear! So the sheriff says the, um, sheriff didn't fire the projectile?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!
Fucking idiot.
St. D-KW,
When DenDen types, he lies.
Hell, his own computer asks him four times for his password, just to be certain!
Hey! President Obama says he won’t raise your taxes, DenDen. Shouldn’t you believe him? He has more authority than a thieving weasel sheriff!
As I said, any relationship between Pennis’ fevered imagination and actual fact is purely coincidental. From his link:
So – “unlikely” as determined by SF Sheriff’s Dept investigating itself = total proof.
Also – Teh SF Sheriff wasn’t teh only police force there.
But I guess in Pennis’ world, Scott Olsen’s injury is a result of someone putting on zombie make-up or maybe putting up sticky notes.
Rush Limbaugh: Claiming sexual harassment is a tool of liberals.
Who knew Rush was a leftist two decades ago?
So – “unlikely” as determined by SF Sheriff’s Dept currently ongoing investigating itself = total proof
FTFY
But I guess in Pennis’ world, Scott Olsen’s injury is a result of someone putting on zombie make-up or maybe putting up sticky notes.
Dinsdale Piranha, no doubt.
Why does DenDen hate America so? Is it our freedoms?
protesters were throwing bottles at police at the time of Scott Olsen’s injury.
Olsen was hit by a bean-bag round, not a bottle.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!,/b>
EPIC Fail, DenDen!
Jeez, DenDen, you’re sounding stoopider and stoopider with every spin you do. Better sit down before you puke.
Oh dear! After initally denying it, Oakland PD admits that they did fire beanbag projectiles (also flash-bang grenades) – at protesters. Injury is consistent with a “less-than-lethal” projectile strike. Scott Olsen was struck near the barricade. In the flash-bang video where you clearly see a cop in riot gear throw a grenade into teh crowd of people who rushed to help him you also see that those folks had to rush over to him. IOW he was standing pretty much away from the other protesters at that moment. His skull was fractured and he had brain swelling. Although it’s not immediately clear, there’s no obvious bottles lying around him. If the bottle had broken, the injury would likely have been much different, what with all that sharp glass going across his face.
BUT, SF Sheriff’s Department is pretty sure that it wasn;t one of their guys what done it.
Therefore – must be a protester’s fault.
Bill who?
PS: Some Like it Hot is on TCM right now.
watched it again…i swear watching marilyn could totes turn me ghey…
Hey, DenDen!
Whatever happened to that mythical money center bank in the Wall Street area with friendly tellers who aren’t behind plates of glass thicker than your dick is long, all threatened by people in costumes who hadn’t committed a single crime and were undfer the “innocent until proven guilty” justice system?
You were supposed to find it.
I’m waiting!
“Mostly peaceful” protesters were throwing bottles because why, mostly kind and benevolent Dragon King-Wangchuck?
English ain’t your first language, DenDen?
i swear watching marilyn could totes turn me ghey…
Zombie Marilyn was probably arrested at DenDen’s mythical bank.
“Mostly peaceful” protesters were throwing bottles because why, mostly kind and benevolent Dragon King-Wangchuck?
You know, I’m pretty much a pacifist. “Most peaceful” is a bit of an understatement in describing me. But I can certainly imagine a situation where I might throw a bottle at someone. For example, if they were fucking shooting at me.
No check that, I’d probably just surrender or run away if they were only shooting at me. I ain’t no hero.
But if they were shooting at my family, then all bets are off. I suspect that a lot of those protesters have bonded pretty strongly with one another.
Oakland PD has admitted to violating their own crowd control procedures. They were shooting into an unarmed crowd. After gassing them. And for extra shits and giggles – deploying grenades designed specifically to disorient and confuse and prompt unreasoned responses.
There are about a million reasons why a “mostly peaceful” protest might end up with some people throwing bottles.

Right wing agitator should be at the top of the list
You know that “you bring a knife, we’ll bring a gun” thing? In this case teh protesters *might* have brought some people with bottles and *maybe* rocks – perhaps a half brick! The cops brought hundreds of officers in riot gear with tear gas, bean bag rounds and flash-bang grenades. The protesters chanted at teh cops and hurt their feefees. The cops broke a guys skull, caused life-threatening brain swelling and then attempted to prevent other protesters from coming to his aid.
Just stop Pennis – there is no fucking way you can make Occupy Oakland look bad in teh light of teh actions of local law enforcement.
Cripes.
Troll feeding is starting early today.
bleah
Right wing agitator should be at the top of the list
Nah, they wouldn’t try that kinda shit at one of teh Occupy protests.
Now with all the violence you see everyday with the DFH/OWS protesters…
What violence?
I think you’re confused, Dennis.
You must mean the “isolated incidents” of murder and mayhem committed by your fellow wingnuts, year after year?
Here’s the deal, Dennis. You want to complain about violence? You’ve got your own side to police up or else you’re either 1) ignorant, 2) a total hypocrite. (And with your type, both is a distinct possibility.)

*Read the whole thing.
Yeah you get a good flavour of just how much bullshit it is. The general strike was entirely peaceful. There was all of one incident that caused any injuries. Some asshole drove into two protesters.
If a newsreport* wants to talk about the violence that erupted after midnight, that’s great. It should be covered. But when you lead into it by claiming that Oakland was overrun by terrist thugs all day Wednesday, you clearly mark your reporting as pure bullshit propaganda.
*Newsreport is being used very generously here. It’s teh flipping Washington Examiner.

All this time you spent googling all this would haved been better served finding this mythical bank you keep claiming was under attack by zombies.

You want to see just the first chapter of your book?
DenDen, how many times did you have to change your underwear when the zombies were all over Wall Street? Did you call mommy?
I do have to thank Pennis for reminding me that, despite this being teh Intoorjizzle, I really ought to be making the effort to not be so bloody offensive and irritating. Like by feeding teh troll.
So, thanx Pennis for reminding me how unpleasant people can be when they’re online. You are an excellent warning sign to me to moderate my own annoying ticks. And with that said, I bid you good day.
Yeam there’s no Teabagger violence. Ever.
I tried, really tried, to “get” Dennis. I can’t. DenBob is just too warped and pathetic. DenBob, why are you? What horrific events came to pass that could twist you into a sniveling, haughty masochist?

DenDen, you still haven’t walked your earlier claim that you never cheered on right wing violence, when here you are bragging about it JUST AFTER A PLOT TO KILL AMERICANS WAS ROLLED UP!
By your OWN standards, that’s cheering it on! Why are you such a traitor?
The only reasons I can figure out for DenDen’s continued presence is A:he’s a masochist and just needs the punishment and it too cheap too pay a dominatrix. or B: he’s the worst snitch/agent provocateur/investigative journalist ever. He’s just trying to bait one of us into a legally actionable threat of violence so he can make his internet snitch quota with the 101st fighting chairborne or perhaps get a junior FBI informant merit badge or write a shocking expose of leftist hatred for his blog and all of the web spiders and spam bots that read it.

am actually pretty busyhave nothing better to do.As nature intended:

I am going to be cheerfully thinking about that all day long.
“Give her inches and feed her well” is probably something Herman shouldn’ta said.
I know I’ll hate myself for engaging, but do you REALLY believe this is what OWS is all about?
Also, do you consider The New York Post a reliable news source?
I am greatly amused by the constant POUTRAGE over the alleged cop-car defecation…
1. There was no picture of shit.
2. Only a picture of a guy with his pants down.
3. In a photo that could not be determined to actually be at an OWS protest.
4. of a Police Car. Which is, you know, paid for by the City and the People and thus is ours anyway.
5. Shit washes off.
I fully support shitting on cop cars, if those cops are beating and tear-gassing peaceful protesters.
In fact, our little scared boy here seems to be quite overwrought; but I think the question, little Pennis, is not why are the protests being pushed towards violence by the cops and the administrations, but given the level of fuckery over the past ten years by the Banksters and Gangster and Asshole Republicans in destroying the middle class and demonizing the poor, why aren’t there more riots?
And you ought to be asking yourself, when are they coming for me?
NOW SUBSTANCE IS ON THE LIST!
This is the part that bugs me the most. I can take a picture of a clan rally and while it may bear a striking resemblance to a Tea Party rally, it doesn’t mean it actually is one.
Regarding teabagger violence, I want to remind you that there’s violence on both sides of the political spectrum. In fact, Whole Foods parking lots are hotbeds of hatred.
FUCK! I missed national deviled egg day! I shall celebrate a day late.

Hey, fuck feeding the B-O-R-I-N-G troll and check this bit of hilarity out. I’m convinced that Herman Cain’s popularity in GOP polls is one extended middle finger to Romney, and the wingnuts seem to be bearing this out.
The real question is, will they suck it down and eat the inevitable Mitt sandwich, or will they go third party?
Needs TRIGGER WARNING!
It’s getting real in the Sadly, No! comment thread.
I know I’ll hate myself for engaging, but do you REALLY believe this is what OWS is all about?
if OWS is NOT about the foot-sniffing, I can no longer support it….
When you make shit up as often as Dennis does, the line between reality and dreams does, indeed, become very blurred.
Dood. Don’t you know that to be a good Murkan, you gots ta be alls about the PANTY-sniffing?
Beware, Wall Street overlords! Tremble in terror before the unstoppable might of our POOP!

OK, but I still don’t know what we’re owning.
actually, i don’t think someone can actually own poop…it’s more like we borrowed it…
I think you own while it’s still in your body, but after it leaves it it’s up for grabs. Why anyone would want to grab it is a discussion for another day/thread, but there you have it.
bbkf, if we can’t own poop how can we make shit moats? Or are they constructed with borrowed or stolen supplies?

It was an article about how the Freepers have banned any Romney supporters. The good people at Rumproast have it covered.
Actor, why did you soil yourself so much here over Bill Sparkman, the census worker who committed suicide?
Mostly because his family did not believe he committed suicide.
Gotta problem with that? Or are you suddenly gonna get all heartless over his family, too, you raving bastard?
Today I had an endless round of exchanges with the graphic designer for one of my magazines.She just could not understand the bar chart I needed her to design.
This woman had been a full-time employee. She was laid off and is now a “contractor.” IOW, her hours have been slashed and her benefits taken away.
This is why I couldn’t get too exasperated with her for making a hash of that chart. (Well, maybe I could if she were a royal bitch, but she’s exactly the opposite). Besides, she had limited time to spend on my magazine because she has to attend to the other “contractor” gig she needs to survive.

Actually, I’ll give a pass on this one. The photographer (who works for a Toronto paper, by the way) says he saw the man taking a dump, It is a NYC cop car, to be sure.
However, there was absolutely no connection made between that episode and OWS, nor was any attempt made by the photographer to ascertain if the man was in fact a protestor and if in fact he hadn’t contracted some intesitinal bug.
In other words, all we have is the word of a photographer tha he saw a man taking a crap in the street near a cop car.

Well, since this thread is again covered in Dennis’ foul droppings, might as well add to it. Here, have some Canadian POOP.
But this turd-mango did make me chuckle:
Among his normal batshit insane stuff, the gem of “foot-sniffing” really stands out, so to speak. I hope Dennis doesn’t kick around these parts toe much longer, it’s getting really funky around here.
Dennis — I dare you to search for “foot” over at redtube.com, it’ll
make your head explodechange your life.Also too related.
I will only accept Rock You Like A Herman Cain if it’s sung while holding the mic backwards.
You Caint always get what you want
You Caint always get what you want
But if you go with me girl, I’ll get what I need
I hope Dennis doesn’t kick around these parts toe much longer
I see what you do here.
You sir win one internet! Congrats!
Is Dennis Le Donalde in drag disguise?
He certainly seems to be one of D.D.’s fans, but he’s not as crazed as Donalde & doesn’t go off w/ the “liberal ass clown” or whatever Donalde’s phrase of the day is all the time. Maybe he’s Donalde when the medication is working.
Blame it on the Cain (Cain)
Blame it on the stars (stars)
Whatever you do don’t put
the blame on you
Blame it on the Cain yeah yeah
You can blame it on the Cain
Herman Cain is the name and I rode on the scandal train
Romney’s punditry came and tore up “our blacks” again
Do not get into a shit-flinging contest with ME! For I have more poop than you!!111!
DenDen’s just jealous because his Teabagger movement is a mockery of American values of fortitude and gumption, while the OWS has endured night after night fighting for what they believe in.
Hey Dennis!
Because shitting on cop cars when sick has nothing on the teabaggers
♫
I wanna know, have ever seen the Cain,
I wanna know, have ever seen the Cain,
harrassing the office staff ♫
No, nothing at all
This would be an awesome time for Bouffant to send Dennis looking for that one video….
Huh, did we mock the “Sasquatch is real” sign holder or the rattlebrain who thought it said “Sasquatch Israel” and was therefore PROOF that liberals were antisemitic because OMG SASQUATCH?

Might have been a decoy DenDen, tig, but I noticed that too.
I first came to this site a few months ago when you mocked a photo of a man holding a sign that read “Sasquatch Isreal.” I knew then that you lefties really were a bunch of anti-Semites.
Okay, people. Enough is enough. You’ve got to stop stealing Dennis’ name. Even HE isn’t this stupid.
That was hilarious… damn Poe’s Law (applied generally to wingnuts… Poe’s Law, Ruppert’s corollary?) makes it impossible to determine whether dimwit is a bone-stupid right-winger or a parody troll.
In re: Sasquatch Isreal
Funniest follow up ever, from the folks at James Randi’s site.
I only see what people quote, so I don’t ever know if it’s real or what.
New thread!!!
I wish.
Madeyalook.
Jackson Browne:
“It’s Cain, runnin’ all round my brain.”
Eric Clapton:
“He’s got nines,
He’s got nines,
He’s got nines,
Herm Cain”
Elvis Costello:
“Blame it on Cain
Ooh-ooh-ooh please don’t blame it on me
It’s nobody’s fault
That she worked in the company”
Everybody is singing about this dude.
♬♪O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For penis-swinging anecdotes
That feature Herman Cain♫♩
New tread, fer realz
actually, i don’t think someone can actually own poop
Excrementistry is THEFT!!
Wow, my timing was close! Funneh.
Poor DenDen. He’s now left to the final desperate act of the scoundrel: “OK, well, they’re right, but what have they done for me lately?”
Remind me. What’s the Teabagger movement done for the nation lately?

Monty Python had this covered.
PUSHIN’ POOPIES! POOPY PUSHERS!
On a cold autumn morning,
He’s teh Hero of teh Right!
Leading polls is Herman Cain,
Be president he just might.
When the darkness has fallen down,
And the times are tough alright,
The sound of evil laughter falls
Around the world tonight.
Fighting hard, fighting to cut funds
Ensuring wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the Hell
Bodies wasted on the shore
On the blackest plains of Hell’s domain
He watches them as they go
For he is always Herman Cain, teh rest of you can blow.
So now we’re flying and free!
Of entitlements and welfare moms
They’re left out in the wilderness
While the rest of us carry on
Far beyond just tax cuts
Far beyond a means test
Deep inside the social contract TEEEERRRRMMMS!
So far away! We wait for that day,
When the hippies oh so wasted are all gone
Vote Herman Cain, for lifetimes lost in a thousand days
Vote Herman Cain and he will carry on.
[Guitar Solo]
As the (commie) Red day is Dawning (WOLVERINES!)
And the liberals raise up a cry,
They’ll raise their hands to the heavens above,
With resentment in their eyes.
Running hard the conservative right
Has a burning in their souls
To banish liberals to a fallen land
Perhaps to Mexico.
It’s their darkest dreams and they believe
It’s their destiny this time
And endlessly
They’ll all be free
Of LIBERALS!!!!
But their count of votes GOP
Is so far beyond reality
They’re alone in desperation
Now the time has gone
Lost inside, they’ll never find
Their way back to this real world
Day after day their misery must go on!
So far away, they wait for another day
2012 was so wasted and gone
On Herman Cain, election lost for a thousand days
But through Usurpers reign, they will carry on.
[Crazy ass guitar solo – RED SNAKE OF DOOM]
So far away, they wait for the day
Since 2012 was wasted and gone
On Herman Cain, election lost for a thousand days
To One L – twenty sixteen it shall belong.
Now there they stand, limp dicks in hand
They fapped so hard, we still can’t understand
They’ll break civil society if they possibly can
For teh Freedom of every man!
So far away, they wait for the day
Since 2012 was wasted and gone
On Herman Cain, election lost for a thousand days
To One L – twenty sixteen it shall belong.
Nu thread. Guess I took too long. Anywho, bookmarking for next November – just in case Romney crashes and burns.
Also, too.
One guy pooping on cop car is less fucked up than many people letting their children piss/poop in the WWII Memorial Fountain, like the Teaturds did.
Just sayin.
