You can’t shoot a robber in the back as he’s walking away from you.

From her site:

Amelia has a master’s degree in both english and 18th century history from University of St Andrews in Scotland and a postgraduate diploma in fine and decorative arts from Christie’s London.

What, good ol’ Liberty University in the Ewe Ess of Ay ain’t good enough for you!? Why do you hate ‘Murka?

“A lifelong writer and patriot…”

Yes, we all know the legend of how Amelia won the Iraq War damn near all by herself, greasing those Haji terrorist cocksuckers with her trusty M4 while she baked apple pies and balanced the US Budget! Why, I have it on good authority the S.L.A. Marshall arose from the dead to write volumes about all of Amelia’s patriotic deeds and magnanimous self-sacrifice for the good ole USA.

F-uhhh-k me. What exactly constitutes patriotism for the wingnuts any more?

This isn’t a new argument. Once I read a Catholic priest arguing that a “girl” who dies from an abortion deserves no more sympathy than a hippie radical (this was a while ago) who blows himself up making a bomb.

What I don’t get is this: They’re all about charging abortion doctors with crimes but most of them back off charging the women, on the grounds that the poor little dears don’t know what they’re doing. But letting them die is OK, apparently.

Right-wing logic contradicts itself. Who woulda thunkit?

And goodnight to the lady whispering “You Deserve to Die from Sepsis, You Slut!”

FIRST!

Speaking of anal orgies, let’s unpack this one a little further. Sure the right wing nutjobs hate women and think those filthy slutty whores should get punished with invasive vaginal probes and constantly renewed mental and emotional torture. That is definitely true. BUT the real target of their ire and occasionally their bullets are abortion providers.

IOW they generally are not for throwing rape victims into jail, but abortion doctors are to be culled from society.

So in the robbery analogy, the robber would indeed go free, but the mass murderers who made his gun are worse than a truckload of Hitlers. So, why aren’t there protest groups outside of gun stores harassing passers by with giant glossy photos of gun shot wounds?

how the Bill of Rights keeps children safe in their homws by allowing mommy to blow the brains out of anyone who wanders onto the front porch.

Another analogy comes to mind, involving self-defense against the ball of cells — purportedly a ‘person’ — that is not only invading your home but your body.

Damn you Bitter Scribe!

DKW: No worries. Right-wing ignorance is a vast pool with plenty of room for many people to splash around.

Any woman foolish enough to leave her proper place…

What do Slippery Mittens(TM) and his sidekick Junior Mitt think about all this?

Don’t want to die in childbirth? Stop fucking!

Bingo. The “stop fucking” part. Conservatives are mortified that someone, somewhere is getting illegitimate nookie (and they aren’t). Their fascination with what happens in everyone else’s bedrooms is legendary. Their supposed concern with the unborn is put to the lie by their utter lack of interest in what happens to them after they draw their first breath.

Then it’s all “pull yourself up by your own baby shoe straps, ya moocher!”

What, good ol’ Liberty University in the Ewe Ess of Ay ain’t good enough for you!? Why do you hate ‘Murka?

Dunno, a postgraduate degree from Christie’s London can really open up some doors. That and Hamburger U in the quad in Schaumberg.

That seems to be a new RWNJ meme, ie. prosecutions for miscarriage and they are starting to talk prosecution for abortion for the pregnant woman.

Tintin left us some pretty juicy mangos… like this:

I am talking here about abortions of convenience, because the mother does not wish to be pregnant. These account for roughly 98% of all abortions in America.

Not only is she pulling this statistic out of what serves as the outlet for her brains, but the citation that she gives proves that figure has got shit on one end and a handle on the other.

The link points to a not-very-objective survey of cherrypicked data for reasons given for having abortions.

It’s impossible to reproduce the table in text, so I’ll summarize. There are thirteen reasons given. There are only four reasons given that are less than 3%: rape or incest (1%); woman’s parents want her to have abortion (less than 0.5%); husband or partner wants her to have abortion (1%); and, doesn’t want others to know she had relations or is pregnant (1%).

Some combination of those are valid reasons, according to Ms Eatsfibertohaveabrainmovement. I suspect that these must be the first three, because concealing pregnancy or sexual activity is only a valid reason for the 1%, who, of course can afford safe and secret abortions no matter how illegal they are.

None of the others that come in above 2% are valid at all, according to Ms Brownmatterismygraymatter, such as: mother has health problems (3); possible fetal health problems (3); too immature or young to have child (11); or can’t afford baby now (21%).

I can see now why she keeps her head up her ass. That’s where she keeps her brains.

I SUBMIT TO NOBODY.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/11/opinion/the-bush-white-house-was-deaf-to-9-11-warnings.html?_r=2

Here’s the whole thing stolen directly from the New York Fucking Times:

On Aug. 6, 2001, President George W. Bush received a classified review of the threats posed by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, Al Qaeda. That morning’s “presidential daily brief” — the top-secret document prepared by America’s intelligence agencies — featured the now-infamous heading: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” A few weeks later, on 9/11, Al Qaeda accomplished that goal.

On April 10, 2004, the Bush White House declassified that daily brief — and only that daily brief — in response to pressure from the 9/11 Commission, which was investigating the events leading to the attack. Administration officials dismissed the document’s significance, saying that, despite the jaw-dropping headline, it was only an assessment of Al Qaeda’s history, not a warning of the impending attack. While some critics considered that claim absurd, a close reading of the brief showed that the argument had some validity.

That is, unless it was read in conjunction with the daily briefs preceding Aug. 6, the ones the Bush administration would not release. While those documents are still not public, I have read excerpts from many of them, along with other recently declassified records, and come to an inescapable conclusion: the administration’s reaction to what Mr. Bush was told in the weeks before that infamous briefing reflected significantly more negligence than has been disclosed. In other words, the Aug. 6 document, for all of the controversy it provoked, is not nearly as shocking as the briefs that came before it.

The direct warnings to Mr. Bush about the possibility of a Qaeda attack began in the spring of 2001. By May 1, the Central Intelligence Agency told the White House of a report that “a group presently in the United States” was planning a terrorist operation. Weeks later, on June 22, the daily brief reported that Qaeda strikes could be “imminent,” although intelligence suggested the time frame was flexible.

But some in the administration considered the warning to be just bluster. An intelligence official and a member of the Bush administration both told me in interviews that the neoconservative leaders who had recently assumed power at the Pentagon were warning the White House that the C.I.A. had been fooled; according to this theory, Bin Laden was merely pretending to be planning an attack to distract the administration from Saddam Hussein, whom the neoconservatives saw as a greater threat. Intelligence officials, these sources said, protested that the idea of Bin Laden, an Islamic fundamentalist, conspiring with Mr. Hussein, an Iraqi secularist, was ridiculous, but the neoconservatives’ suspicions were nevertheless carrying the day.

In response, the C.I.A. prepared an analysis that all but pleaded with the White House to accept that the danger from Bin Laden was real.

“The U.S. is not the target of a disinformation campaign by Usama Bin Laden,” the daily brief of June 29 read, using the government’s transliteration of Bin Laden’s first name. Going on for more than a page, the document recited much of the evidence, including an interview that month with a Middle Eastern journalist in which Bin Laden aides warned of a coming attack, as well as competitive pressures that the terrorist leader was feeling, given the number of Islamists being recruited for the separatist Russian region of Chechnya.

And the C.I.A. repeated the warnings in the briefs that followed. Operatives connected to Bin Laden, one reported on June 29, expected the planned near-term attacks to have “dramatic consequences,” including major casualties. On July 1, the brief stated that the operation had been delayed, but “will occur soon.” Some of the briefs again reminded Mr. Bush that the attack timing was flexible, and that, despite any perceived delay, the planned assault was on track.

Yet, the White House failed to take significant action. Officials at the Counterterrorism Center of the C.I.A. grew apoplectic. On July 9, at a meeting of the counterterrorism group, one official suggested that the staff put in for a transfer so that somebody else would be responsible when the attack took place, two people who were there told me in interviews. The suggestion was batted down, they said, because there would be no time to train anyone else.

That same day in Chechnya, according to intelligence I reviewed, Ibn Al-Khattab, an extremist who was known for his brutality and his links to Al Qaeda, told his followers that there would soon be very big news. Within 48 hours, an intelligence official told me, that information was conveyed to the White House, providing more data supporting the C.I.A.’s warnings. Still, the alarm bells didn’t sound.

On July 24, Mr. Bush was notified that the attack was still being readied, but that it had been postponed, perhaps by a few months. But the president did not feel the briefings on potential attacks were sufficient, one intelligence official told me, and instead asked for a broader analysis on Al Qaeda, its aspirations and its history. In response, the C.I.A. set to work on the Aug. 6 brief.

In the aftermath of 9/11, Bush officials attempted to deflect criticism that they had ignored C.I.A. warnings by saying they had not been told when and where the attack would occur. That is true, as far as it goes, but it misses the point. Throughout that summer, there were events that might have exposed the plans, had the government been on high alert. Indeed, even as the Aug. 6 brief was being prepared, Mohamed al-Kahtani, a Saudi believed to have been assigned a role in the 9/11 attacks, was stopped at an airport in Orlando, Fla., by a suspicious customs agent and sent back overseas on Aug. 4. Two weeks later, another co-conspirator, Zacarias Moussaoui, was arrested on immigration charges in Minnesota after arousing suspicions at a flight school. But the dots were not connected, and Washington did not react.

Could the 9/11 attack have been stopped, had the Bush team reacted with urgency to the warnings contained in all of those daily briefs? We can’t ever know. And that may be the most agonizing reality of all.

Oh man, I had forgotten about “Jeebus Comforting Weeping Santa” — how could I forget! Nevar forget!!!

I am too old & tired to bother w/ such. Also lazy, which has been going on since before I was old & tired.

Geez, now that I have Nyan Mitt it seems a shame not to give him airplane wings.

Also, HEY.

None of the others that come in above 2% are valid at all, according to Ms Brownmatterismygraymatter, such as […] can’t afford baby now (21%). – bughunter

There is a very strong attitude (maybe less so in my generation, but it certainly exists even in my parents’ generation which is the generation of the so-called sexual revolution) in this country, probably from our particular brand of Protestant heritage, that “you shouldn’t have sex unless you can afford to have a baby”. IOW, the right-wing isn’t anti-sex, they just think it is a luxury, and that view is, alas, shared by many people, even (for example) my pro-choice, Jewish (sex with your spouse is a mitzvah, a sacred obligation according to our religion, not a luxury reserved for the rich) parents.

That’s part of the reason why Will Saletin (sp?) style equivocation about abortion has such resonance with people and why even many people who are really pro-choice (i.e. when it comes down to it, they don’t want government to tell them what they can or cannot do with their uteri) don’t even describe themselves as such and are uncomfortable with pro-choice positions, preferring instead politicians who make noises about “compromise” (fortunately, my parents are smart enough to realize that if you don’t want abortion to be banned, no matter how much you may find it “distasteful” or whatever, you are pro-choice and you should thus not push politicians to take compromise positions).

Another analogy comes to mind, involving self-defense against the ball of cells — purportedly a ‘person’ — that is not only invading your home but your body – smut clyde

I guess I was on the right track opening this thread with a comment referencing stand yer ground. How can conservatives manage to both support stand your ground type laws about “a man’s home is his castle” and not support a woman’s right to have an abortion? Oh, wait a minute, I see how … “a man’s …”

And the right wonders why we claim they are waging a war on women?

I love how the girl recongnizes that they are (OMG!) Mormons right on site. I also like how the first “untruth” of Mormonism they detect is that Mormons claim that if Jesus were to come down to Earth you wouldn’t know the difference between him and any other dude.

Perhaps I’m not getting something because I’m a J00, but isn’t one of the whole take-homes of the crucifixion story (as well as “what you did to the least of them […]”) that the criminal, poor person or what have you that you are not treating well may very well be the big JC, so you better treat people well?

Methinks the Chick tract writer here is being about as heretical (in terms of Christology) as he claims the Mormons are.

OK, so I just discovered Regretsy, thanks to MB… it’s like a Lileks’ gallery of schlock art. And stuff.

This could almost be a Poe, the equation of “someone’s desire for physical autonomy” with “convenience” is so glaringly dishonest. But this is only women we’re talking about.

I am talking here about emancipations of convenience, because the labourer does not wish to be enslaved.

I am talking here about workplace safety rules of convenience, because the worker does not wish to have his or her limbs torn off.

Silly, they call themselves “Elder” because they believe that they will become hideous, tentacled gods after this life, and go to the planet Kolob, which is another word for Yuggoth.

And the obsession with green Jell-O? It totally symbolizes a shoggoth.

The Hauer “Blade Runner” speech has an interesting back story

The argument seems to be that, as women will have abortions anyway, they should be kept legal for safety reasons. Robbery, assault, and domestic violence are some of the top crimes in America. They are all illegal, and they all happen anyway.

If there were to be found a SINGLE PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD who thinks abortion is a terrible crime but women should be allowed to do it anyway because otherwise the little dears might hurt themselves, this “logic” might work with that person.

Chris Brown makes an upgrade

Apparently Chris Brown is trying really hard to become the perfect physical embodiment of every Lifetime movie villain. Are we sure that he isn’t actually just possessed by the God of terrible faux-feminist television?

On the abortion post:

I think this will really help sanity return in the whole abortion “debate”. Too many people have given up so much ground because they wanted to be publicly seen standing against “sluts” and sex even though they didn’t want any real damage or change in rights to befall women… or at least women like them or people they knew.

But now, the right-wing is fully laying it out on the table. Yes, they cry, we really do want every bitch who dares give it up heterosexually (including those who “give it up” by failing to successfully fight off their rapists) to be put to death for being a dirty filthy slut, including you, including those you know.

And I think people are starting to wake up to that and really think about how much they really give a fuck about women’s sex lives when all’s said and done.

I’ve been to weird places… I’ve seen things.

His response, according to Goodridge: “I don’t really care what you tell your adopted daughter. Why don’t you just tell her the same thing you’ve been telling her the last eight years.”

There is a very strong attitude […] that “you shouldn’t have sex unless you can afford to have a baby”

My variant is that you shouldn’t have a baby unless you can afford one. But I can accept that people will have babies they can’t afford. They seem to view raising a family as an important part of life! That being the case, it’s no wonder they don’t wait until they’re solvent. I’m the same, in my way: I do the things that give my life meaning and zest, working around the necessities. Does this drive conservatives nuts? It seems to … as to whether they see sex as a luxury, I think they vacillate as convenient.

So as much as I might get annoyed with folks who have families out of all proportion to their earnings, in a sense they’re more like me than they’re like the unrealistic dreams of a certain type of conservative. In fact those cons’ dreams would crash economies real and imaginable. As far as I can tell, we’re all supposed to put off most everything: families, hobbies, luxuries, risks, all of it. Live as cheaply as possible. Meanwhile, seek the most profitable investments — all of us, all at once. The “paradox of thrift.”

Marx: “[Capitalist economy] is a truly moral science […] Its principle thesis is the renunciation of life and of human needs. The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the threater or to balls, the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt — your capital. […] Everything which the economist takes from you in the way of life and humanity, he restores to you in the forms of money and wealth.”

I agree that presenting “keep abortion safe” as the *only* argument for abortion is weak. Not weak in the “A reasonable policy maker would not be swayed by this argument,” since it’s completely logical. Most other crimes don’t become safer when they’re legalized, so the analogy fails. If a law has bad effects, it should be reconsidered.

No, it’s weak in a rhetorical sense, since the way it usually gets deployed is “Well, we agree that abortion should be reduced because it’s icky and awful, but since it’s going to happen anyway it might as well be safe.” It concedes a lot of ground. Plus it usually gets used by pseudo liberals on the teevee who don’t really care about women anyway (and the people who really want to toe the Democratic line), so it’s surrounded by tons of overly simplistic and misogynistic junk.

Abortion’s great. It’s one way – and a necessary way – women are free to decide what happens in their lives. And it should be safe – /because it’s great/.

There’s no war on women and if there were, Mitt Romney wouldn’t be one of the combatants. No, really…

AWESOME MOVIE.

Filming in Arkansas.

This isn’t a new argument. Once I read a Catholic priest arguing that a “girl” who dies from an abortion deserves no more sympathy than a hippie radical (this was a while ago) who blows himself up making a bomb.

Hippie radicals make bombs?

This WAS a long while ago!

What I don’t get is this: They’re all about charging abortion doctors with crimes but most of them back off charging the women, on the grounds that the poor little dears don’t know what they’re doing. But letting them die is OK, apparently.

If that’s true, it’s PR – they don’t want to look like monsters and know that’s exactly how it would look.

Get them talking among themselves – I remember seeing a wingnut facebook friend pose the question “if we ever can criminalize abortion, what should be the penalty for it?” The general consensus was “same as for murder.” I don’t think the average wingnut has a problem frying a mother who tries to have an abortion on the electric chair.

Hippies & radicals were not actually the same thing, a long time ago.

Well nobody will ever mistake me for a bibble scholar but I believe the meaning is more that Jeebus knows when you mistreat the “least of these” (’cause they’re fuckin’ SNITCHES) so treat them right because YOU ARE BEING WATCHED.

And that right there should be the death of the “faith not acts” doctrine. Should be, and maybe would be if any of them ever took a break from worshiping Jesus long enough to actually listen to him.

The point is that women shouldn’t/don’t have any agency, & if you kill the breeder she can’t go on to be forced to have a quiverful.

Hippies & radicals were not actually the same thing, a long time ago.

Well, some were and some weren’t.
There were all different types of hippies. and the categories of course crossed over a lot, but the one thing they (we) all had in common was that no one ever used the term “hippie”- except sarcastically, or as an insult.
I understand it is much the same with yer modern-day hipster.
Now get offa my cloud.

Hipsters are not only not radical, they’re reactionary.

From your link:

Then in May 2006, Henry got a phone call from Romney’s chief of staff. A Commission press release touting the Youth Pride parade had been sent out on stationery that included the governor’s name in its sidebar. This placed Romney’s name on the same page as the word “transgender.” He was not happy. He was going to shut down the Commission. Just like that. The end.

But-but the Smiler is a shrewd businessman and not at all a petty tin-pot dictator! (/Media Flak)

Rmoney, SUPERGENIUS:

When the Republican presidential nominee arrived in Florida late Tuesday, his campaign quickly issued a statement saying that Mr. Romney was outraged by the violence and suggesting that the administration’s “first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”

This guy is actually still has a chance in this race. Congratulations, America.

And that right there should be the death of the “faith not acts” doctrine. Should be, and maybe would be if any of them ever took a break from worshiping Jesus long enough to actually listen to him.

“Faith not acts” always seemed like this really convenient way to get out of having to give a shit about your fellow human beings. Whenever someone goes on and on about his special relationship with Gawd and how Jeebus speaks to him every day etc. etc., I just know that it’s a closed-circuit communication that doesn’t require any messy interaction with “the least of these.”

I would de-emphasize a number of questions typically associated with abortion: When does personhood begin? When does the soul (if any) take occupancy? Does a given creature feel pain? Is it not wrong to take an innocent human life? These questions (and others like them) can overshadow the incontrovertible fact that God-fearing Americans will assent under certain circumstances to the painful killing of innocent people presumed to have souls.

Instead I’d emphasize that a pregnant woman’s situation has no parallel in the rest of human experience. None whatsoever. There is one human situation that bears comparison — hosting a parasite — but the analogy is flawed, in that it does nothing to address pregnancy as reproduction. That’s quite an elephant in the parasitism room, both biologically and morally.

In sum, I propose that the pregnant woman’s situation is unlike any other, and that she can kill whatever it is that’s growing inside her. The task is to doggedly deflect false analogies and comparisons and red herrings. Another important angle would be to refute concepts of natural or God-given rights. We invent rights and all sorts of situational ethics, and I for one refuse to argue abortion as if this is not the case.

Hipsters are not only not radical, they’re reactionary.

The free ones certainly are.

Cerberus never gives me credit FOR ANYTHING.

Raise your hand if you’re sick to death of abortion being a campaign issue and wish everyone would just shut the fuck up about it.

When the Republican presidential nominee arrived in Florida late Tuesday, his campaign quickly issued a statement saying that Mr. Romney was outraged by the violence and suggesting that the administration’s “first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”

Just for the record (shocking I know), he’s lying. The statement he’s referring to was the embassy issuing a statement condemning Terry Jones’ movie, hours before anything happened to either embassy. Everything that’s come since the attacks started has been condemnation in no uncertain terms.

At the risk of pulling a “no true Scotsman”, I would submit to the priest in question that by definition a hippy would not make a bomb and nobody making a bomb can be a true hippy: true hippies would be spending too much of their time on drugs and having sex to actually be able to make a bomb.

My dad used to talk about feeding mom elder berries

And your mother smells of elder berries …

Speaking of Monty Python, in honor of Murray winning a grand slam title (even if not Wimbledon), shouldn’t someone have posted a link to the Blancmange episode by now (too busy to do so myself, so I’ll be like J-Load and ask someone else to do my web-based dirty work) …

Just for the record (shocking I know), he’s lying.

Business as usual, make up a bunch of bullshit and release it, then double down later on, let the media machine nuance it into red meat for ignorant bullet heads. It works. That’s what’s kept Rmoney in this fucking thing, considering he’s a tax dodger, never served in the military (something right wingers LOVE to concern troll in Democrats), has no plans, knows nothing about much of anything besides how to exsanguinate businesses.

Next up: Rural electrification and the role of the federal government…

So this morning on Nice Polite Repulicans, I caught a bit about water flouridation in Portland (?), where it’s apparently being fought. Somebody else got the WA state supreme court to strike down a regulation to add flouride to water in Pierce county (Tacoma area).

Dammit, Obama needs to put down the time machine. He’s moved us into the fuckin’ 50s.

Blancmange

t’ll be filmed in Arkansas, I hope.

It was filmed in 1974 in Canada:

The residents of a suburban high-rise apartment building are being infected by a strain of parasites that turn them into mindless, sex-crazed fiends out to infect others by the slightest sexual contact.

So this morning on Nice Polite Repulicans, I caught a bit about water flouridation in Portland (?), where it’s apparently being fought. Somebody else got the WA state supreme court to strike down a regulation to add flouride to water in Pierce county (Tacoma area).

Heh, this could be the answer to forcing regulations on the fracking natural gas companies to stop them from poisoning our water supplies. All we have to do is start a propaganda campaign saying that flouride is among the 500+ chemicals that these companies are injecting into our water supply.

While there are some anti-fluoridaters of the General Ripper sort here, many of the antis are concerned that it will affect the beer. I have no idea whether that is a reasonable fear and I won’t be arsed to research it. Suffice to say, we take our beer very, very, very seriously.

Fuck, my coworker is blaring Limpballs at full volume and is responding to the glares and scowls from the rest of us with smirks and self-satisfaction.

Limpballs is one of the few blowhards who pisses me off so much I’m inspired to violence. And now, of course, he’s blaming Obama not only for the embassy violence in N. Africa, but for being a seekret Muslin and badmouthing the 1st Amendment.

I think I’m gonna have to go smash a radio.

The Atlantic on the Sam Bacile film that inspired the violence in Cairo and Benghazi.

It seems to me that if you have seen in the past that people will react to your words with deadly force, and then you proceed to intentionally provoke them, and people die as a result, then you bear some of the blame for murder. Sure, you have the right to say those things, but you also bear the responsibility for the consequences.

Of course, Malkin’s reaction is predictable.

I didn’t think there was anything that would make me despise Romney more. I was wrong. In sheer levels of loathsomeness, this guy is rapidly sinking below Nixon.

Cow Orker’s boss just came over and had a word with him; radio is now off and he’s pouting.

Not as satisfying as smashing a radio, but I’ll take it.

This is a person who has a bumper sticker reading “Hussein will never be MY president” and whose screensaver is a parody of the Obama HOPE portrait reading “HOPE (you don’t wind up in a detainment camp).”

This is in a small company of 40 people whose owners send their kids to a Waldorf Academy and who have Pacifica Radio bumper stickers on their cars.

It seems to me that if you have seen in the past that people will react to your words with deadly force, and then you proceed to intentionally provoke them, and people die as a result, then you bear some of the blame for murder. Sure, you have the right to say those things, but you also bear the responsibility for the consequences.

Balls. That’s like telling a rape victim it’s her fault she wore tight jeans. I don’t give a shit how “offended” you are, you do not have the right to use violence against someone whose only “crime” was using words and pictures. Much less use violence against anyone who HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH the shit that offended you. Much less the representative of a nation whose support played a large role in RIDDING YOUR COUNTRY OF A HORRIBLE DICTATOR.

Sorry. Some things just set me into all-caps mode.

The residents of a suburban high-rise apartment building are being infected by a strain of parasites that turn them into mindless, sex-crazed fiends out to infect others by the slightest sexual contact.

Dang! How come a disease like this didn’t infect all the cute young ladies back when I went to college?

Sorry, your rape analogy is bullshit.

In this case, the victim is a third party.

In your analogy, the victim is the first party. I agree with you as far as this, even if you walk into a biker bar and get drunk and start bragging about how much you love to be gangbanged, you can still claim rape the next morning, provided you say NO when shit gets serious.

But if you crank call a biker bar and start talking shit like “I’m a member of [insert other bike gang name here] and you’re a bunch of pussies, and you all love to blow goats,” etc., and then they go off and beat the shit out of the other biker gang, then you have incited violence and bear some responsibility.

Sorry, but your analogy is bullshit too. It would only be valid if the guy making that shitass video had put “Approved by the U.S. Embassy in Libya” in the opening credits.

“Cow Orker’s boss just came over and had a word with him; radio is now off and he’s pouting.”

What a tosser. My bet is that he’ll chalk this up as an example of liberal perfidy. Censorship, or whatever, but the exact label is unimportant since it’ll be bullshit regardless.

Exactly! The violence wasn’t in response to anything the embassy did. The violence was in response to what someone else did. Something the embassy had no control over.

In any case, although I wish it wasn’t this guy doing it, people should be making films that offend the religious.

Somebody else got the WA state supreme court to strike down a regulation to add flouride to water in Pierce county (Tacoma area).

Yeah, following the Spokane County lead. I don’t know what the fuck the anti-flouride people are on about all the fucking time. Flouride has had a good track record for public health, but they have managed to make up an awful lot of stories about the mass slaughter of children who ingested it.

It’s usually the lefty types who are the most adamant about it–anecdotally speaking, of course.

Wait, tsam, I’m confused…are you saying the lefty types are the ones against fluoride? Because that wasn’t true in my experience. Fluoride opponents have always, in my experience, John Birch types who claim it’s a commie plot to brainwash our kids.

Unless things changed while I wasn’t looking. I could see some lefty idiots being against fluoridation the way some are against vaccination.

Romney is on Google+

Don’t laugh. He’ll be able to reach out to dozens of people. Dozens!

In any case, although I wish it wasn’t this guy doing it, people should be making films that offend the religious.

Agreed. Though there’s a big difference between Religiousity and this pile of shit that seems to have been designed to provoke a violent response.

Wait, tsam, I’m confused…are you saying the lefty types are the ones against fluoride?

Those are the ones I’ve encountered here. A good friend of mine–Occupy protesting filthy hippy whose wife is a union thug teacher, ALEC hater… and a few of his liberal type friends won’t shutup about it.

I know the birchers are all into this “mass medication” shit and hate flouride too, but I think the leftist hatred of it was spawned by some belief that the flouride used is actually a chemical reagent (waste product, more specifically) that is dumped into the water and has far reaching effects beyond letting people keep their teeth into adulthood. Again, this is strictly anecdotal, and these guys may be the exception to the rule. When he goes on about it, I tune him out pretty quickly since I’m still mad that flouride got removed from our municipal supply when my kids were little and we had to go buy flouride drops to supplement their needs. My water bill didn’t go down when they stopped flouridating, but my medicine bill went up.

I think there may have been GODDAMN KIDS ON MY LAWN, TOO!

Also, Harry Potter did a bangup job of offending the religious, which provided me with many happy LOLZ.

In re fluoridation and the left:

“Fluoride: Commie Plot or Capitalist Ploy”
by Joel Griffiths
From Covert Action Quarterly, Fall 1992, Number 42

Not necessarily promoting this view just pointing out that it exists.

There’s a convergence between new age hippie health and black helicopters. The Man can put you in FEMA camps or make your kids autistic with vaccines.

From Andrew’s link:

Beginning early this morning, when news was just breaking, the left-blogosphere and mainstream media, led by MSNBC, has attempted to shift the focus from the Obama administration’s failure to protect our embassies…

Because when the last guy failed to protect actual American soil, well, that’s different because shut up. Also, a mango:

The Founders are rolling over and over in their graves.

I doubt they imagined a day when the entire “press” would give itself over, body and soul, to an alien philosophy obsessed with crushing the liberty that was so hard-won, and the Constitution that followed.

These are dire days for the Republic.

Questions: (1) what “alien philosophy?” (2) If it’s “crushing liberty” you’re concerned with, than how do you feel about the so-called “voter fraud” laws? (3) you do know changes to the Constitution require a vote by Congress, right? (4) why paraphrase Star Wars when you know you never like the movie until a Democrat was elected into office?

Ye gods.

I’m with tsam on this. I fully support pointing and laughing at the religious but this guy wasn’t out to just offend. It’s pretty clear – by the fact of providing an Arabic language version – that he wanted to enrage them. Given the previous Muslim reactions to such things – the Danish cartoonist etc. – he surely knew to expect violence to result. One might reasonably suspect that violence is exactly what he intended. “See! Look how them Muslins is all violent and shit!” Which, btw, is pretty much exactly bughunter’s biker bar scenario saving only the specificity of the intended target of the violence.

YES–from Andrew’s link. They call it mine tailings. Which is funny because the whole Inland Northwest was a mining center for 100 years and our entire watershed, mountains to the Columbia delta, is LOADED with mercury, lead and other toxic mine byproducts.

I don’t know. The whole thing seems like the con-trail fears to me.

Not necessarily promoting this view just pointing out that it exists.

Also from the “It Exists” files.

There’s a convergence between new age hippie health and black helicopters. The Man can put you in FEMA camps or make your kids autistic with vaccines.

There we go–explained. This is what I’ve observed.

designed to provoke a violent response

Which would then be exploited for partisan political gain.

Not just despicable, but hypocritical and downright sociopathic.

You can’t produce something like this and say “Oh, well my hands are clean here because they’re just violent barbarians and therefore they deserve all the blame.” You *knew* they’d react this way, and even if you couldn’t predict a specific outcome, your words and images put a match to what you knew was a tinderbox, and you did it intentionally.

It doesn’t lessen the culpability of the rioters and murderers one whit, nonetheless, it’s still an evil thing to do.

There’s a convergence between new age hippie health and black helicopters. The Man can put you in FEMA camps or make your kids autistic with vaccines.

I agree – lunatic conspiracist extremists tend to converge together past a certain point. Was reading PJMedia last night (the post-9/11 death porn stuff) and there were quite a few comments that were sobbing about the loss of our liberties since 9/11. With even some blaming of Bush for the TSA, DHS and all that, phrased of course as “don’t create a massive bureaucracy like that ever again, because even if you have the best intentions, some liberal will take them and use them against your FREEEEEHEEEEEHEEDUUMBS!!!”

And you know, it’s really funny, because I remember using that EXACT argument against them back in the Bush years – “sure, maybe you trust Bush with all these powers, but he won’t be in power forever! Would you trust someone else with these powers?” The answers back then were overwhelmingly “oh yeah, I totally trust Bush! Uhh… uhhh… uhhh… central to my point… shut up, alright?”

I’m with tsam on this.

Yeah, it’s reasonable, and there’s certainly a way in which picking on The Other from afar is unseemly anyway. Nevertheless, Saudi Arabia.

Maybe it would be consoling to have a new-age hippie belief in karma or something.

I put Whisky in it the way you like it.

(1) what “alien philosophy?”

The Vulcan Surak’s philosophy of emotional-suppression?

From the Washington Post, this is the statement that Romney was attacking, pre-smirk:

During the protest in Cairo but hours before the attacks in Libya, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement saying that it condemns “the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.”

This is essentially what tsam, Pupenius, and I have said in this thread, but watered down into such wishy-washy, diplomatic language that its meaning is changed to include all criticism and satire of religion, not just inciteful* libel. It was a pretty damn stupid thing to say, but in my opinion for different reasons that Romney, Limbaugh, etc. are suggesting.

(*Hmm… Insightful vs Inciteful. Must ponder where that venn diagram intersects…)

Insightful vs Inciteful. Must ponder where that venn diagram intersects

I have a gut feeling that Sarah Silverman and Bill Maher are involved.

It was a pretty damn stupid thing to say, but in my opinion for different reasons that Romney, Limbaugh, etc. are suggesting.

It’s also a statement by a bunch of trapped individuals trying desperately to defuse the murderous intentions of a mob. Did Romney even know the context of this statement? He’d say anything to get elected president, wouldn’t he be even more outrageous if he had to save his ass?

From what I’ve seen of his pandering, he would have converted to Islam on the spot and burned the American flag himself.

It’s also a statement by a bunch of trapped individuals trying desperately to defuse the murderous intentions of a mob.

Right. There exists diplomacy.

Hey BBBB, you should get Rumproast to make a comments RSS feed.

I just wanna echo what Alex said upthread. And here’s a great blog entry saying essentially the same thing.

This summary notes it isn’t a reaction to the film’s distribution or showing or anything…

http://boingboing.net/2012/09/12/crappy-low-budget-youtube-tra.html

It’s a reaction to a YouTube trailer. There’s worse on YouTube. So filmmakey guy, while clearly an asshole, is a nonentity while the rage of crowds has been whipped up by cynical bad guys.

Redirects to a login, VS.

Which I can try if you like.

Oops. Lemme try again.

Also I made an Emoboner today.

SM’s bb link:

Sam Bacile is an Israeli filmmaker based in California who made an independently produced and financed anti-Muslim movie that’s sort of “Birth of a Nation” meets “Bed Intruder.” The YouTube trailer is embedded above, and it unapologetically attacks Islam’s prophet Muhammad. Bacile has no known prior history as a filmmaker.

Say, one might call Sam there an ImBacile.

Say, one might call Sam there an ImBacile.

That was my first reaction. Is that really his name? His years in middle school must have been a living hell.

His years in middle school must have been a living hell.

Some refer to it as “an origin story.”

Bacile is a real estate developer in California who identifies as an Israeli Jew. “Islam is a cancer, period,” he told the AP.

Real estate developers & landlords are the greatest cancer on the planet of all time, bar none, & I say it’s about time we started RPGing their greedy asses, ugly developments & the people who live in them.

Why should the Muslins have all the fun?

OK, immoderate. But can we send the fuck back to Israel?

I say it’s about time we started RPGing their greedy asses

Ooo! Oooh! I’ll play Dungeons and Landlords!

I’ll be teh dwarf. Carlos the Dwarf.

“The only thing worse than having a landlord is being a landlord.”

I hope this is true but Sartre was never big on truth for its own sake.

So I take everyone here has seen the picture of Romney walking out of today’s press conference looking like a man who just got blown by Kate Upton on his way to get blown by Kelly Brook?

I want to be a mage!

That’s awesome, vs. It’s begging for a caption.

Something like “Emo Boehner hates it when you mispronounce his name.”

So I take everyone here has seen the picture of Romney walking out of today’s press conference looking like a man who just got blown by Kate Upton on his way to get blown by Kelly Brook?

I was expecting a quick cut to the Legion of Doom headquarters, where Romney would be reporting the success of his speech to Lex Luthor and Gorilla Grodd.

That “filmmaker” may very well be the world’s biggest asshole, but as far as I’m concerned, that became irrelevant once the violence and killing started. No one, I repeat NO ONE, has the right to react violently because his religion or any other aspect of his life is “insulted.” Parsing the provocateur’s responsibility is just a distraction from that issue, IMO.

It’s pretty great.

That’s awesome, vs. It’s begging for a caption.

Ha! Yeah, I think I may have to add a tear and earring.

Have a tear.

Ha–thanks!

In re, “it exists” … let’s be careful about where we go in terms of linking to stuff just because it exists. Remember Rule 34, please. Do we really want to click on links at Sadly, No! and end up reading water fluoridation slash porn involving a Bircher and an anti-vacciner getting it on?

Anyway, I can’t be bothered to get the links (busy applying for tenure), but there were some studies done recently about the effects of fluoridated water on tooth chemistry and essentially during the amount of time your water comes into contact with your teeth while you drink it, there really isn’t much penetration (heh, heh, he said penetration) of the fluoride beyond the surface of your enamel (i.e. not even much into the enamel itself).

Brushing your teeth is another story (probably even swishing the water around in your mouth, I guess). But if you even swish water around in your mouth, you probably at least brush your teeth sometimes.

The take home lesson is that the Birchers were wrong about fluoridation — it won’t turn you communist. But the lefties may be on to something about it … it might just be a useless way to enrich the pockets of some people. Fluoridation won’t hurt anybody, but there are probably better ways to go about improving dental health than mass fluoridation.

No one, I repeat NO ONE, has the right to react violently because his religion or any other aspect of his life is “insulted.”

No one here is implying that. Assigning blame to the incitement does not remove any blame from those who committed the act. There is no “zero sum blame game,” no law of conservation of culpability.

I condemn all the motherfuckers, all the way up the line, also including Jones, Malkin, Gellar, and the like for promoting and popularizing the kind of bigotry and intolerance to the point where some people think it’s virtuous to hold opinions like that, and other people are willing to tolerate them.

I saw this yesterday by coincidence. Billy Connolly, FFS, sums it up.
Screw the lot of them with their religious ‘sensibilities’. I will have none of it.
Screw Romney for his braindead response, accusing Obama of dancing on graves.

I had a Czech friend who had a straight brown line across his teeth. At some point in his youth the then-communist regime mandated some kind of flouride tablet. They stopped fairly quickly and that was that.

Billy Connolly, FFS, sums it up

Agree entirely. Gimme two firebreathin’ hoors any dayathaweek!

Err, I mean Fuck the lot of ’em.

Um, the religions, that is…

(Also, Mackey at the NYT digs deep into the jungles on both continents, identifying the players in the brewing shitflinging contest between US and Egyptian hatemongers. Fuck the lot of ’em.)

So who’s up for World War III? Any takers?

Real estate developers & landlords are the greatest cancer on the planet of all time, bar none, & I say it’s about time we started RPGing their greedy asses, ugly developments & the people who live in them.

I’d say the appropriate RPG would be Papers & Paychecks, but per the caption it involves workers and students, not capitalist fuckwits.

No one, I repeat NO ONE, has the right to react violently because his religion or any other aspect of his life is “insulted.”

Well, that’s the flipside to the argument, and it’s a valid point. I still maintain that there is a huge distinction between things like Religiosity and bullshit like this that is a deliberate incitement.

On the other hand, WHY the fuck should a filmmaker or cartoonist feel as if he/she should choose words carefully or completely censor an idea because violence might ensue? Who won that battle? The fucking thugs that kill people for the sake of killing. Let’s not kid ourselves, people who do these things don’t do it because of the religion. If they did, they would know enough about the religion to know that murder is not sanctioned by it. No, they do it because they’re racist fascists, not really any different from Jones. I don’t know what the answer is. I guess if you’re going to draw pictures of their magic fairy Mohammed–YEAH I FUCKING SAID, FUCK YOUR STUPID SKY FAIRY, you have to be able to live with somebody killing somebody over it. Now we have four dead people, and I don’t know about any of you, but I would certainly feel a some responsibility for that.

Late to the game…

Obviously the 1st amendment is U.S. only law, but let’s look at what would happen if his were a purely domestic event: there are two big exceptions to the 1st, best described as “yelling fire in a crowded theater” and “fighting words”. This event comes under the heading of fighting words. The mob was, IMO, wrong, but so were the assholes who set out to create an angry mob…and our own laws bck me on that.

So who’s up for World War III? Any takers?

1– It was ordinary citizens who committed the murders. That’s not an act of war, Monica, you stupid whore.

2– President Dwight D. Eisenhower:

Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing.

3– Bitch, go make me a fucking sammich.

It’s clear that the filmmaker in question wants to sit every Muslim down and tie them down Clockwork-Orange style while the film plays. But he didn’t do that, nearly nobody’s seen the film, and obviously there’s worse out there. He really really really wants to be culpable but he’s barely a player in the drama except after the attacks.

It is a sad day on teh internets when a Freaks and Geeks reference goes whoosh.

I wish Eisenhower was president on 9/11.

Even a zombie Eisenhower.

Monica, you stupid whore.

Bitch, go make me a fucking sammich.

I’m sorry, but are these really necessary?

There’s plenty to insult about her without going for sexism (which insults all women).

You forget who frequents this blog, Spear?

I’m sorry, but is the concern trolling necessary? (No, I’m not going to let this go)

I think you know me better than to call me a sexist. Your statement implies that you’re taking me seriously, which isn’t recommended around here. I shouldn’t have to tell you that.

There are no heroes here. The guy who made the film. Hope he’s happy. People dead now, ‘cuz he just HAD to be a douche. And the people who killed because of their dumb fairy tales? There aren’t words…

I’m a hero. I have been bitching on the internet ALL DAY.

I remember when the Danish cartoons came out, there was a kerfuffle exactly like this one on the blog of the late Steve Gilliard (PBOH). Tough issues.

Although I think we can all agree on one thing: Mittens has revealed himself to be even more of a disgusting, petty, vile, mealymouthed piece of shit than most people even imagined.

(Also, FYWP)

I didn’t call you a sexist. I said those particular comments were sexist. We all make mistakes, and I personally appreciate it when I’m called out on mine. I’d like to think I hold myself and the people on my side to a higher standard than I do for wingnuts.

I realise you weren’t serious, but there was no particular punchline to those jokes other than “Hur hur. She’s a woman.” If you wouldn’t say the same thing to or about a man, then I think it’s worth examining whether or not it’s an insult to a women or women in general.

I’m a hero. I have been bitching on the internet ALL DAY.

Keyboard warriors are the true heroes!

I’m a hero. I’ve been reading tsam bitching on the Internet ALL DAY.

It was meant to match the ignorant stupidity and gross simplicity of her comments. Her comments had no punchline other than “KILL THE FUCKERS”.

My comment was meant to mimic the level of discourse. Again, I think if you ask around, nobody who knows me very well would be offended by that.

I’m a hero. I’ve been reading tsam bitching on the Internet ALL DAY.

That IS heroic. I owe you a drink.

The guy who made the film. Hope he’s happy

Sounds like he’s pretty proud of himself. To be expected of any zealot.

tsam is one of the least sexist people I know, pretty much, though his potty mouth does get into gendered-insult territory. I’ve always ignored it because I guess I have battles to fight and he’s not a battle.

Whatcha gonna do with the Emoboehner, VS? Blow up his twitter? That’s more of a suggestion than a question…

Sounds like he’s pretty proud of himself. To be expected of any zealot.

Not too proud to not go into hiding.

Ooh…VS thinks tsam is the least sexy man she knows. FIGHT! FIGHT!

Whatcha gonna do with the Emoboehner, VS? Blow up his twitter? That’s more of a suggestion than a question…

Ha ha ha! Oddly, I’ve often found Boner to be a tragic figure. I suspect he may be more of an old-style Repug, and is unsure how to deal with the Cantors and Akins of the world.

Can I just say I hate gendered insults in general and be done with it?

Mittens has revealed himself to be even more of a disgusting, petty, vile, mealymouthed piece of shit than most people even imagined.

I say one thing for him, he continues to surprise me in this regard.

Even his smiles can get more Smilerly. He’s spending a hundred million a month to convince people he’s a sociopath.

Spear, I don’t like ’em either. Totally get where you’re coming from. I think that tsam is often exempted from the rules because he truly just a lovely person. We know his heart, so we ignore (those particular) words.

(Sorry for talking about you in the third person, tsam.)

Ooh…VS thinks tsam is the least sexy man she knows. FIGHT! FIGHT!

Now VS is going to have to do an EmoTsam.

No one, I repeat NO ONE, has the right to react violently because his religion or any other aspect of his life is “insulted.”

In the real world, might makes rights. How long until a collection of crackers decides to do the same to dirty liberals in the U.S. who’ve been trash-talking Jebus, the Pope, or Billy Graham?

Can I just say I hate gendered insults in general and be done with it?

Me too. Why is it when calling humans out on what pieces of shit they are men are usually called “assholes” & women called “bitches?” Equal Opportunity Insulting!!

Can I just say I hate gendered insults in general and be done with it?

Yeah, I get it. We’re done with it.

What about if I call the lot o’ yez a buncha coonts then?

I guess my final word on it is this: I get offended by things I read on here too. I move to the next comment and don’t worry too fucking much about it.

Spearhafoc,

It’s meta. I am reminded of the time Teh Ho and I were chatting, drinking, and probably smoking teh wacky weed, with our militant dyke houseguest who was also a HR VP. We got started discussing racist “jokes” which led to Teh Ho and I repeating a few Mescan “jokes” as evidence of how stupid they are. Teh Ho set one up with “why don’t Mexicans” somethingorother and finsihed it with “because they’re stupid!” We laughed heartily. Our houseguest was apalled because she didn’t understand the meta aspect. We tried explaining that it was funny because the target was people who tell such “jokes.” tsam went meta in a slightly different way – the comment was essentially a mirror to whatshername’s typical shtick.

In the real world, might makes rights. How long until a collection of crackers decides to do the same to dirty liberals in the U.S. who’ve been trash-talking Jebus, the Pope, or Billy Graham?

You should ask Jessica Ahlquist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsMemDwkQng

tsam as least sexy? Not a contender.

Boner? Yes. Very much. But he’s got SO MUCH FUCKING COMPETITION. I’d start with Reince Preibus, which sounds like something I would like rinse from a preibus. What’s a preibus? YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW.

I am okay with being called out in comments. Well maybe not okay, but I should be able to take my medicine now and again.

just dropped in to announce that soucheray is having a totalspazmeltdown over this as are many of the morons who take his show seriously…at least nobody has mentioned lefse…

Coach put it in me, at the Catholic school games.

Even his smiles can get more Smilerly. He’s spending a hundred million a month to convince people he’s a sociopath.

Many of Romney’s actions make more sense when you realise that he’s trying to demonstrate that he’s not bound by the First Law of Robotics.

tsam is one of the least sexist kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful people I know, pretty much, though his potty mouth does get into gendered-insult territory.

Fixxed for more traditionality.

The zeroth law freed the robots from first-law tyranny.

Duh.

Mmmmmmm, lefse.

It is hilarious how, by suggesting the teacher might be more successful by making sure everyone understands WTF she is saying, the Principal is OUTLAWING ALL MENTION OF PEANUT BUTTER SAMMICHES! When the only quote they print is her suggesting the teacher say “In America we like pb&j’s.” Jebus fooking gawd are these people stupid.

Also Penn State. Too.

Speaking (obliquely) of censoring political speech — my little town of Corvallis is in the middle of a small international kerfluffle over a mural a local business owner painted on his building. The articles linked don’t include the mural so here’s a GIS for it. It’s right on a busy street in the middle of downtown, but faces away from the main one-way street traffic — I’d never even noticed it.

Those two pictures of Rmoney (and everybody in the country needs to see that shit) are very very reminiscent of Brando’s funeral speech over Caesar in the movie, when Antony turns away from the rioting crowd and his face shows something very different. I guess life imitates art or sumthin’.

One time a cop pulled him over and told him he was going too fast and his dick was too big. THESE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES.

gendered-insult territory

I’ve been through there. It’s between Dalhart and Tucumcari.

Is it OK to call Monica Crowley a “Nugget guzzling knobgargler”? AFAF.

I saw Walken in stage as Iago. The first scene, he had this huge shiteating grin on his face and was literally backslapping Ohello. (Keith David) Then O walks off stage, the grin disappeared and was replaced with Walken’s patented death’s head stare and he began his first monologue… “I hate the Moor…”

My blood ran cold.

Excuse me. I just conflated two Walken sightings. Raul Julia was Othello. Keith David starred with Walken in Corilianus.

One time a cop pulled him over and told him he was going too fast and his dick was too big

And called him Mr. Bigdick!! True story.

OBS I think your friend could stick to “Crowley is a dissembling dipshit who has never been prosecuted for cocaine abuse”

One time a cop pulled him over and told him he was going too fast and his dick was too big.

He just wanted to get a look at my dick. So I let him. I figure, why not, right? YOLO.

I should be able to take my medicine now and again.

That’s what I say too, but the Frau Doktorin is all “Lay off before midday or you’ll never get any work done.”

You should ask Jessica Ahlquist.

As I remarked to some idjits at the Daily Tucker, no, you Xians don’t riot, you just kill doctors, bomb medical facilities & shoot up churches. Eventually you’ll get to the rioting w/ RPGs.

I guess, though I don’t see the point in complimenting her. Cocksucking is a noble pastime.

Thanks AK, but if I, I mean my friend, wanted something that long they’d go with “festering hemorrhoid on the asshole of humanity”

FYI: The current front runner is now “deepfried buttflower.”

Excuse me. I just conflated two Walken sightings. Raul Julia was Othello. Keith David starred with Walken in Corilianus.

OMFG! This shall not stand. You sit are worse than Hitler, as played by William Shatner substituting in for Walken.

Oh damn you bbkf, & damn me for missing that. I swear I looked. (I swear a lot.)

The most chilling Iago I’ve ever seen was Don Knotts. Almost as sinister as Andy Devine’s performance as Richard III.

I should be able to take my medicine now and again.
Also too, remember the third duty of a Scanner — “To use the wire of Eustace Cranch only with care, only with moderation.”

I for one welcome our cloned scoliotic Plantagenet overlords.

P.S. Every Tuesday night at the Turakina Hotel, no cover charge.

“And he’s had struggles, not financial struggles,”

Ann Romney hasn’t considered how it’d feel to be sick and poor. I swear, this is like a classist version of some dumb-n-hoary thing white people say.

“Sarah Palin” on Facebook:

Apparently President Obama can’t see Egypt and Libya from his house.

A complete self-parody now.

But Scanners live in vain, so I don’t think that’s great advice.

Abraham Lincoln didn’t die in vain, he died in Washington D.C.

I don’t want to give Big Ho a hit so I will ask, what’s their take on left wing liberal Hollywood producing that piece of shit flick?

Sorry, I already deleted the daily Big Bright Barf e-mail. It was all about yesterday’s & today’s fun though.

“PLEASE SUPPORT CROOKS & LIARS BY REMOVING AD BLOCKING ON OUR SITE.”

That would indeed be supporting actual crooks & liars. What is the matter w/ those people? And where do they get off knowing that I’m blocking that shit?

Also, their video player is ugly.

How ’bout this from BB’s Big Hoes?

D’Souza: Obama Camp’s Critique of ‘2016’ a ‘Mix of Name Calling and False Allegations’

Irony lies bleeding.

Apparently President Obama can’t see Egypt and Libya from his house

Wouldn’t she a bit more worried if he thought that he could?
Sorry, forgot that it was Queen Moosilini (ITTDGY 2010) we were talking about.
Is it too late for her to parachute in, now? Romney just trod on his cock and did a castrating dive through a plate glass window with his bullshit about Cairo.

Wouldn’t she a bit more worried if he thought that he could?

An LGM commenter notes that as he is in the White House he can probably see anywhere he wants to in Egypt or Libya right now with all the fancy-schmancy electronics and whatnot.

The surveillance is coming FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!

Don’t ask again, I won’t stop:

Hollywood Silent on Free Speech When Islamists Are Involved
Where is Hollywood when free speech is overrun by murderous Islamists? They’re usually caterwauling about their own right to free speech, but just like the feminist movement, they somehow disappear when faced with Islamists who would counter their sentiments by blowing them up or (in the case of Christians in Egypt) crucifying them.

Where is Hollywood when free speech is overrun by murderous Islamists?

Is it bad to hope the writer of this sentence is now dead?

My Dad is watching Murder She Wrote. I’m in the next room, but I can hear it fairly well.

I heard one of the characters talking like a terrible over-the-top Shakespearean actor, and I peeked in to see what the hell was going on. I was shocked to learn that it was Patrick McGoohan (a dude who can actually act, normally anyway).

I was doubly shocked when my dad informed me that the character was meant to be Canadian, and that the whole episode is set in Canada. Every single Canadian character on this show seems to be speaking in a British accent or an attempt at a British accent.

Is this a stereotype I was unfamiliar with? I mean, it would be one think if they were all speaking like Bob and Doug McKenzie, but this is just baffling.

Ha ha, it was so dumb when he said that. Also when he pretended to be an empty chair.

He’s a big dummy. BTW he’s black. You ever notice that?

There is a certain type of Vancouverite who will speak with a (to my ear) upper-crust British accent so it’s not entirely unheard*-of.

Spear, I chalk that up to us assuming you have a closer relationship to England than we do. *shrug*

Also, we are silly.

I can’t decide if this makes you more like a client or a relative.

If my marriage is any indication, it makes her your wife.

It’s all a part of the ebbul Englanders meme that was so popular in Hollywood.

Shorter Wingtard Media: The Press are Colluding to make Mitt look like a Sociopath.

From Lethally Ignorantnation:

If there ever were a doubt, no matter how small, that the mainstream media is deeply in bed with the Obama campaign, the reaction to the killing of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and several other Americans should put such doubt to rest.

Beginning early this morning, when news was just breaking, the left-blogosphere and mainstream media, led by MSNBC, has attempted to shift the focus from the Obama administration’s failure to protect our embassies and for its apologies (both before and after the attack on the Cairo Embassy) to whether Mitt Romney was wrong to criticize Obama last night.

Nope. There’s no story in the obvious politicization of a dead Ambassador. There’s no story in the obviously intentional incitement of the Muslim fundamentalist rabble, well-known to burn and kill over the most minor slight. Every reporter and every story must focus on only the tropes that WE –the holders of the only true opinions, the only real facts, and the one and only Christian God– deem newsworthy. Any departure from this script is collusion with the enemy, whose authority is invalid because he’s a nigDemocrat.

bughunter FTW.

He’s a backwards WTF?

I think everyone here is a backwards WTF–and that’s the way I like it!

That’s the way
uh huh uh huh

I mean, it would be one think if they were all speaking like Bob and Doug McKenzie, but this is just baffling.

Back when they were in the Royal Shakespeare Company, Bob and Doug McKenzie’s performances as Hamlet and Horatio were legendary.

Elsinore CSI was one of my favourite shows.

If anyone other than me is watching “Copper” it has its CSI:Five Points moments.

BTW he’s black. You ever notice that?

*gasp* NO!!!

Obama administration’s failure to protect our embassies

Genius does realize they’re in other countries, right? That these two were the only attacks outside of a war-zone during Obama’s tenure? And that there were multiple death-causing attacks on embassies and consulates while Bush was in office?

Elsinore CSI was one of my favourite shows.

David Caruso’s cross-dressing, wisecracking rendition of Ophelia was awe-inspiring.

And that there were multiple death-causing attacks on embassies and consulates while Bush was in office?

There was a time for rallying-around-the-President, but the anniversary of 9/11 changed everything.

There used to be a lot of excitable right-leaning bloggers who reckoned that it was basically treasonous to question the policies of a US President at a time when America was under attack. Any of them still around?

The US President they were defending is a mysterious, shadowy figure whose name is no longer mentioned in Wingnutistan.The wingoids cannot be expected to remember the ancient customs and beliefs of such a distant time.

Back when they were in the Royal Shakespeare Company, Bob and Doug McKenzie’s performances as Hamlet and Horatio were legendary.

“Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him. A fellow of–”

“Horatio, eh.”

“What?”

“Horatio. You’re supposed to say like–”

“No, you’re Horatio, you stupid hoser. I’m Hamlet.”

“No, eh. I meant you’re supposed to say, ‘I knew him, Horatio.'”

“Nobody’s gonna notice. You’re ruining my whole monologue.”

“I think people are gonna notice, eh. It’s like a famous line and stuff.”

“Well, yeah, people are gonna notice now ’cause you interrupted me.”

“I interrupted you ’cause you’re wrong.”

“How would even know, hoser? It’s not even your line.”

“Duh. ‘Cause I read the script.”

“Aw, now we’re almost outta time. I hope you’re happy, hoser.”

“No, I hope you’re happy.”

“For what, eh?”

“For messing up the line.”

“No, you messed up the line.”

“I didn’t even say a line, eh.”

“Well, goodbye, everybody. (waves to audience) You messed up my line.”

“No way, eh.”

It’s like how the Communists used to erase people from the official pictures once they were no longer in favor with the regime.

We had a cottage industry back in the Cold War trying to keep track of who was “in” and who was “out”.

Of course not; they’re too busy saber-rattling.

I’m sure the people of Libya remember how we reacted to 9/11 (“Turn Iraq into a parking lot & take their oil”) and started thinking, “Oh fuck…they’re gonna blow us up too, aren’t they?”

And if Romney (or McCain) were president, they’d be right.

If anyone other than me is watching “Copper” it has its CSI:Five Points moments.

which is keeping me from fully enjoying it…

re: monica crawly and such…last night (while being subjected to foxnews at the in-laws) she and papa bear were all up in alan colmes’ grill for disliking waterboarding but agreeing with drone kills…at the time, i wanted to bellow, ‘fuck you, you moldy panty stain!’ but resisted, because i am trying to be a grown up and the in-laws would be dismayed at having ‘fuck’ yelled in their living room, so her behavior today just reinforces the fact that she is a moldy panty stain…

also, too…i could get addicted to regretsy and wish i was even 1/120th as clever…and such, hubbkf and i are going to paradise this weekend, and i may have to introduce ‘sailor trouble’ to the kids…it would make a humorous diversion from our usual playing of ‘score me a whore’…

Yeah, I’d prefer more knuckle-duster action, but what can you do?

Aw shit

I GOT THAT TOO, DAS! She’s so damn hot. She ALMOST got me to give money. Still not gonna happen though.

tsam,

So I guess I’m not the only male who thought “well, if I do win the trip, an evening with Beyonce and the First Lady is gonna be awfully easy on the eyes”? Still, I don’t have $25 to throw around for Obama.

So I guess I’m not the only male who thought “well, if I do win the trip, an evening with Beyonce and the First Lady is gonna be awfully easy on the eyes”? Still, I don’t have $25 to throw around for Obama.

And easy oh the eyes? HOH MY GOD, YES.

Michelle Obama. She is far and away my favorite political figure on the current scene.

i gotta agree with you on this one…she has held herself above the fray for the past four years and she’s pretty impressive…i didn’t watch the dnc at all, but saw parts of her speech and she completely blew me away*…next to her, ann romney is just a bland blonde** with no more personality than mittens…

*stop that!
**yes, physically and intellectually (no offense to other blondes…anne’s intellect pales next to obama’s)…

I just received an e-mail from Beyonce Knowles signed “Love, Beyonce”

dammit! i took myself off the mailing list too soon…on the upside, i did get a call from some place that is offering us a FREE vacay to our choice of destinations…apparently hubbkf signed up for it at a bass pro shop when he was out at nab/pbs in vegas last spring…i was a good wife and opted not to choose our destination and had the very nice gentleman call back this evening when hubbkf is home and i am working…i think he will appreciate that…

And easy oh the eyes? HOH MY GOD, YES.

Careful, you’re starting to step on a certain Dragon-King’s turf there.

jesus h…i went back over to wingnut news to see if there were any delightful mangoes in the comments, but still the same ones…amelia apparently didn’t spark the thoughtful debate her column surely warrants, but anyhoo, i found another entry from some goldman dude thusly titled: “When Do We Get to Attack Obama’s Character?”

really? has it ever stopped? that one morphs into another entry about ‘obama’s womens’ secrets and what they say about him’ which basically slams michelle and his mom…it never gets old for them, does it…

but in true wingnut fashion, there are many conflicting entries variously titled to the effect of ‘romney’s going to lose/win….obama’s going to lose/win’…it’s a bit like a giant boggle game over there…

sexy time news…or: do it, now!

COCKMONSTER

Remember when we were kids and we used to PLAY OUTSIDE?

Wait, we were supposed to stop that? I was not informed, and will not comply.

And tsam’s lawn is the best play spot evar! I’m gonna build a fort there. Also too.

do it, now!

Um, ok, but my wife’s not here and she’ll probably be a tiny bit peeved if I just randomly hookup with somebody on campus… I’ll blame you.

Is that a double entendre?

Actually that is a disadvantage of living in an apartment. In CA suburbia where houses all have high fences, you can send your kid outside to play after s/he does the day’s homework and watch from the kitchen window. In an apartment building, you need to take your kid outside, which means either schlepping yourself back outside after you’ve come back inside after collecting your kid from the bus stop or letting your kid play before homework time, which means the kid has no “after my homework’s done, I can go outside” motivation to actually finish homework.

i found another entry from some goldman dude thusly titled: “When Do We Get to Attack Obama’s Character?”

What? The last 4 years were you pricks being above attacking his character?

I live in an apartment too. My kids are teenagers now (One is leaving for U of W in a week **sob) so they don’t care much about playing outside. They just walk to the store a lot.

Building a fort.

I live in an apartment too.

Wait, you don’t even have a lawn!? Man, it’s almost like you can’t believe anything you read on the intarwebs anymore. I’m so disillusioned now.

I have a HUGE lawn. And a pool. And a hot tub. And like 20 washing machines. Massive driveway, and a dumpster for my garbage.

well, unless you have someone to mow your ‘huge lawn’ and you get some driers, i’m not moving in…

Wait, we were supposed to stop that? I was not informed, and will not comply.

I know, right? Sometimes I sit on my little patio and drink beer and hope some of my cute female neighbors come outside.

I so hate old white (or even non-white) lamenting today’s youth, as if they’re any different than they were. All this “back in my day…” shit makes me all stabby and annoyed as hell. It’s stupid. It’s ignorant and irritating.

LIVING THE DREAM, PEOPLE.

Does the sign on your fort say “SU?LY ASSHOL3S ONLY!”?

FYWP, that question mark was a backwards “R” in preview!

well, unless you have someone to mow your ‘huge lawn’ and you get some driers, i’m not moving in…

Summer Saturday afternoons consist of a Mariners game on TV, a beer, and chuckling to myself watching some poor miserable kid chase a lawnmower all up and down the apartment lawn. And yes, we got lotsa dryers.

Does the sign on your fort say “SU?LY ASSHOL3S ONLY!”?

That’s right.

It also says NO GERLS ALOWD!

“No True Hippie” would be a good screen name, though it’d get misunderstood.

…have someone to mow your ‘huge lawn’…

I thought the term was “trimming the underbrush” these days.

mowing the lawn and much more also too.

I don’t have any particular beef with Ann Romney,

i don’t either aside from her being an over-privileged snobbish moldy panty stain (god, that sailor trouble booklet is awesome!) who thinks mitt is mr. wonderful…seriously, somebody who thinks a man like mitt is worth spending your life with and procreating more just like him needs to be regarded with a metric fuck tonne of suspicion…

Amon Amarth owns the Viking franchise.

There’s probably nothing wrong with Ann Romney that five or ten years of raising a couple kids and managing her illness on the income and benefits of a Wal-Mart greeter wouldn’t cure.

RIP thread

The thread can never die. Even when there’s a new post, the threads become moribund, but they never quite die. I can’t be arsed looking it up, but there’s a thread which still gets comments after a couple of years. I think Whale Chowder could point it out for us.

UNFORTUNATELY PHALLIC HEDGE SCULPTURE.

Is this the neverending thread…?

The Matt Furey thread is still good for a giggle every few months.

This was awe-inspiring. Back when there was sometimes MORE THAN ONE POST IN A DAY.

S McG and OBS,

I just gave the two threads you linked to some life support. It’s pretty thin gruel what I added (well nothing at all really), but I am frustrated because I just lost an hour’s worth of work to Word deciding make a file of mine corrupt … and I can’t be arsed to actually do anything more right now. Even anything more “for fun”.

In reply to Pupienus, all I can say is DELICIOUS STATE FAIR HOTDOG!

I’d forgotten about that one. I can’t believe the Furey sockpuppets continue to come back and add positive comments about him after seven years!

This is a myth, like an earth older than 6,000 years or that species change over time. Begone, devil’s spawn!

I just found this place which might be nice for those who like short films all artistic and such. The article about Seaglass is funny.

So, yeah, the film wasn’t made by Israelis, but rather a fundamentalist Christian (and convicted criminal).

Who’d’a thunk it?

From Spearhafoc’s Boston Globe link, the filmmaker is quoted as saying he made the film,

because I’m tired of the radical Muslims running around killing everyone.

OMFG, that is so rich with irony, it needs to be oiled or it will rust.

Kinda mind-blowing to see a new primate species discovered in this day and age.

Yeah, that was a huge surprise to me. And I thought it was great that the locals went — “Meh. Those are just the blue-balled fuckers we shoot and eat all the time. They’ve always been here, what’s the big deal?” — while the scientists are all flabbergasted about the discovery.

because I’m tired of the radical Muslims running around killing everyone.

Totally true. I can barely step out my front door with all the crazed muslin hordes milling about all stabby and stuff.

There was a radical Muslim horde killing someone at the grocery store yesterday and I was pissed because it was in the express line.

My standards are low, and uncaring. When radical Muslim hordes are abroad and stabby, my stony heart is warmed to see the victims’ warnings and cries transcribed as involving “hordes,” not “hoards.”

the film wasn’t made by Israelis, but rather a fundamentalist Christian

A Copt, as noted in the article. Not that that justifies anything but it is my understanding that Copts are getting the shit kicked out of them all around the Middle East these days as part of the general secular strife.

Nice that the guy would stir shit up and get representatives of his adopted home killed.

Yeah, he’s putting both his original and his adopted people in danger. Whatta doosh!

Copts are strictly Egyptian, though I’m sure other Xian groups across the Mid-East are getting fucked by Muslims too.

I worked w/ a Coptic guy* about six yrs. ago, who was in his early 20s & born in Egypt. Not sure how long he’d been in the United Snakes, but he was pretty well-acculturated & spoke reg’lar ‘Merkin English. Anyhoo, one day he brought in a comic book (also in English) that was pretty much a compilation of anything bad about the prophet. Not sure how accurate it was, but there were plenty of alleged quotes from the Qu’ran & whatever the not-official but still claimed to have been said by Mohammad book is. The Sunah, that’s what it’s called.

So yeah, they fucking hate Muslims. (Or, they hate the fucking Muslims.)

*Kinda wondered if he’d had anything to do w/ all this crap. Gotta figure the Coptic community in SoCal is fairly small.

When I visited the Coptic church in Cairo the guy who was showing me around was awfully proud to tell me he didn’t take baksheesh. This was much appreciated, especially after I had my shoes held for ransom in a fucking mosque.

Oh, how we laughed and laughed:

The adviser, granted anonymity to criticize a press corps the campaign still relies on every day, went on to blame a “green room, green zone kind of divide,” saying the national press, most of whom live in New York or DC, “pockets of prosperity,” are isolated from the realities of the harsh economy — and therefore, unable to grasp Romney’s message.

Copts are strictly Egyptian, though I’m sure other Xian groups across the Mid-East are getting fucked by Muslims too.

Yep. Actually, the Copts I’ve met will proudly tell you that they’re the ORIGINAL Egyptians, those from the time of the pharaohs, who were there before the Arab/Muslim invasion.

So yeah, they fucking hate Muslims. (Or, they hate the fucking Muslims.)

In my own anecdotal experience, I’ve encountered more hate for Muslims from American Copts, Maronites, etc, than from those of them who’re actually from the Middle East. Same as those among Irish Americans who took it as their duty to damn the British and talk your ear off about the Brave Catholic Freedom Fighters; it’s easier to draw things in black and white with a brick wall between them if you’re not actually in the middle of things.

(Not to suggest that there isn’t bad blood in the Middle East as well).

As I have been reassured by my dusky hued Alexandrienne, the Copts and their Muslim neighbors and respective famblies have dwelt amicably atwixt each other in that part of the planet for quite a number of generations now, for a suitably large definition of “quite a number”.

You can handle the demo – but if there’s haz mat clean up required we’ll need to call in Odious Rags.

Some years ago Canuckistan sent us a movie theater chain called Cineplex Odious.

My favourite theatre is the Eight-a-plex Reels.

Getting to that theatre by transit sucks though. Nanny State Canuckistani land has some many rules about proper behaviour on public transit – I hate the bus regs.

Should have just biked it. They have places to lock up your bike – must be eighty plus racks.

Four inna row. Despite the heady pause.

I’m tempted to troll somewhere as follows:

Wingnut logic now states that on 9/11, the proverbial buck did not stop on Bush’s desk, but that Obama somehow failed to protect our diplomats in Libya.

“Opportunist” is too mild a word for Romney. He is a braying, grinning hyena tearing at the still-warm corpses of our nation’s dead. Those who join his pack are lower still.

Romney’s confident manner and constant smile are meant to convey the inner glow of a successful and even holy man. Instead we see a dead grifter’s soulless rictus reanimated to smirk and lie. Romney radiates the unnatural vitality of a ghoul: one who hastens forth to gobble unclean nourishments — an apt description of his business practices as well as his politics.

Romney’s confident manner and constant smile are meant to convey the inner glow of a successful and even holy man. Instead we see a dead grifter’s soulless rictus reanimated to smirk and lie.

As mean tempered atheist, I would have to say that those two things are not mutually exclusive.

“Opportunist” is too mild a word for Romney.

I never thought I’d see someone who could make Palin seem principled in comparison.

This is a good one: Romney says he’s concerned that he’ll have to spend the debate preventing Obama from saying things that aren’t true.

Well, what the hell are you doing up before 6?

Working early to avoid working tomorrow. Drinking coffee too. Completely missing a nuanced and intelligent joke. Trying to make an access control system do magic….

As mean tempered atheist, I would have to say that those two things are not mutually exclusive.

I think they’re more commonly symptoms of each other. He’s got the bad hair and everything.

“Not mutually exclusive,” no. I have similar thoughts, but was trying aiming for pithiness, which doesn’t come easy for me.

BOSTON (AP) — Mitt Romney is promising to reduce taxes on middle-income Americans.

But how does he define “middle-income”? The Republican presidential nominee defined it as income of $200,000 to $250,000 a year.

Romney commented during an interview broadcast Friday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

The Census Bureau reported this week that the median household income — the midpoint for the nation — is just over $50,000.

The definition of “middle income” or the “middle class” is politically charged. Both presidential candidates are fighting to win over working-class voters.

President Barack Obama has defined “middle class” as income up to $250,000 a year.

Obama wants to extend Bush-era tax cuts for those making less than $250,000. Romney wants to extend the tax cuts for everyone.

Asshole rich guys are assholes.

I went to post my Romney-as-ghoul-hyena piece at NRO — there’s an appropriate rich Lowry item, complete with execrable comments — but I don’t have any usable logins with me here at work.

I did not think even Rmoney would be so craven. The lying liar calling the President a liar is stunning. Im just… I can’t … I don’t even…

Nice to see the “Reality”-Based Community continue to ignore the horror that happened in Libya as a direct result of the inaction of that feckless rat bastard you call a “president”. When the “3 a.m. phone call” came, President Emptychair slept right through it…skipped another national intelligence briefing…and is, no doubt, making plans for another golf outing.

But please…continue to talk about Romney’s “gaaaaaaafffss”…you know, the IMPORTANT issues.

“I did not think even Rmoney would be so craven. The lying liar calling the President a liar is stunning. Im just… I can’t … I don’t even…”

“Craven” is the perfect term to describe YOUR “president”.

JERK.

Kind of off-topic, but I saw this article, “House GOP Bill Would Actually End Welfare Reform Work Requirements”, and the first thing that came to mind was, “As Cerberus repeatedly says, It’s Always Projection.”

It could be argued, however, that this criticism may possibly be somewhat unfair. Maybe the GOP legislators didn’t actually intend to end “welfare work requirements,” but being the bunch of half-assed incompetents that they are, they threw together the proposed bill so sloppily and thoughtlessly that that was an unexpected side-effect.

Oooh, look, we’ve got a new troll!

I don’t think you’d please a plurality in LA anymore unless they gave us an expansion team… too much AFC west rivalry here to permit either the Chargers or the Raiders to receive enough fan support if they relocated, and, well, fuck the Rams. And a relocation from nearly anywhere else would be pretty dimly received.

And now that the two conferences are each organized into four divisions of four teams each, I doubt that the league will want to break that symmetry anytime soon.

The only team I can think of who could relocate and build a brand is the Vikings — The Lakers relocated from MN, and are hugely popular here. Conceivably, they could lend some of their loyalty to a (hypothetical) LA Vikings franchise. They even share team colors.

“Daaaaad, why can’t I have two football teams? I promise I’ll take them for walks, and give them baths and scoop their poop and everything! C’mon daaaad!”

And now that the two conferences are each organized into four divisions of four teams each, I doubt that the league will want to break that symmetry anytime soon.

There’s no way that’s going to happen. The owners will NEVER go for it. If you try to get into LA, you can expect Davis Jr (not THAT one, man) to go ballistic and likely win the battle.

Question for the cooking types up in dis joint.

I have a daughter heading off to the U of W dorms. She is hopelessly addicted to pasta, but has no stove on which to cook said pasta.

A single “burner” induction cooktop would prolly be perfect, and might not raise the ire of the staff since the cooking surface doesn’t actually get hot. They used to be ridiculously expensive but I just saw an ad for one on TV for $99.

But wait, there’s more, you get TWO of them, with pans! And a handy pocket fisherman! Act now, don’t delay!

Godddamit. We’re never going to have a fucking NFL team.

As a Bears fan who cringed his way through last night’s game, may I say, count your blessings.

Tsam, as a dorm-dweller back in the stone age 70s, I used a plug-in hot-pot – it boiled water – and I was able to do everything from cooking pasta to steaming vegetables in it.

It’s basically a pot with a spout and a built-in heating element. I think it’s safer than a hot plate, because the heating surface is enclosed – you can’t put something on top of it by mistake.

Kraft macaroni and cheese and ramen were a major part of my dorm diet, back in the pre-microwave days.

“It” seems kind of dehumanizing, I think.

For the trollie I think that was the point.

Google showed me a couple of electric kettle type cookers.

Check the dorm rules. It’s fairly likely they won’t allow one. It’s also reasonably likely that there’s some kind of kitchen-ish thing in the dorm.

Finally, there will be no shortage of pasta in the chow hall.

Cool–thanks guys!

A hot plate is a better solution because you can do just about anything with it, When I was renoing my last kitchen there was a couple weeks of being rangeless. I got a two-burner hot plate at Target and made some amazingly good meals with just that.

OBS is correct – the way to go now is an induction thingy. I was recently considering getting one to supplement my range and found that they are cheap cheap cheap. The very good Fagor is $82 at Amazon right now.

These days, so do the players.

A drip coffeemaker with a warming plate can get water hot enough to make Ramen… and cook pasta, too, I imagine… if you’re patient enough. A coffeemaker might not violate dorm rules.

You don’t have to use the saltflavor packet, either. You can add your own sauce from a jar … or my favorite trick, cooking the ramen noodles with a little extra water and then tossing in a can of Chicken Mushroom Barley or Beef Vegetable Barley condensed soup.

oh, hey…this reminds me…in the latest edition of the ‘hooterville indigestion’ crankysenileteabaggingracist old editor wrote about all the pro athletes with long hair…he was wondering if they thought it was CUTE?!?!@?!?!?! and why don’t they start WEARING SKIRTS?!?!?!?! will they think it’s CUTE when they are injured from someone pulling their hair during a TACKLE?!?!?!? and he finished it up with a saLUTE to the yankees for having a ban on long hairs…anyhoo, there was some amusement in his column which continues to repeat every single obama falsehood and is now openly bashing democrats…one woman wrote in from someplace like montana or wyoming (wtf?) and chided him for all his anti-obama rants and for publishing dumbass chain emails as fact, but her closing was the best…something to the effect of: while i don’t know you and so can’t say you’re a racist or a bigot, the hallmarks of paranoia are pretty evident…

I hate motherfuckers like that. Also the fuckups who cry about the new helmet-to-helmet rules. Buncha shitty fans. Shitty people.

this cannot be said enough about the publisher of the hooterville indigestion…as an added bonus, even though he has more money than god, a benefit is being planned for his daughter (publisher-ette) who has breast cancer…you can already guess that gazillions of picas have been devoted to railing against obamacare, socialism and the lazyasses who expect us to pay for everything while they sit around doing drugs and making babbies by a certain someone…yes, that same someone who is too fucking cheap to provide health insurance to his workers…

Here is the beginning of an actual Wall Street Journal editorial:

Strassel: Mr. Romney, Trust Your Pants
Obama tells Americans the terrible things the Republican will do to them. The Republican remains silent about what he would do.

By KIMBERLEY A. STRASSEL

In the classic 1968 film “Once Upon a Time in the West,” a villainous Henry Fonda shoots one of his lackeys, in part for the sin of wearing both a belt and suspenders. How do you trust a man, muses Fonda, who “can’t even trust his own pants?”

Mitt Romney is slipping in the polls because, when it comes to his own policies, he is once again wearing a belt, suspenders, and even some elasticized waistbands. The bold Romney who picked Paul Ryan as a catalyst to run on ideas has been ousted by the return of the careful Romney who wants this race to be about Barack Obama. And America is unwilling to trust a man who seems unwilling to trust his own agenda.

Jesus has a great glove, but he bats high in the order.

I must have dozed off when the Bold Romney was on the telly.

Then again, accusing the president of sympathizing with the people who murdered our ambassadors was pretty bold, even if it was incredibly stupid.

Jesus is a terrible glove. The balls seem to go right through his hands.

From what bbkf related, this old editor pulled out all the stops but the classic “I mistook him for a woman from behind.”

That line amazes me (I have heard it directly, some people never retire their zingers).

Really? You mistook me for a woman? It was the beard that finally tipped you off, not the fact that I’m 6’2″ with a flat ass, narrow hips and broad shoulders?

That is SO Bouffant.

From the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the fishwrap read by retirees and tourists:

The GOP today is largely a party of rabid, old, white men in the unhappy dusk of their lives, railing against a nation in which they are no longer the dominant players. It is sad to watch — and sadder to be one of them. You can smell the mothballs of their memories and memorabilia (hats and banners resurrected for the convention), read the rage in their eyes.

You know, while that’s accurate, it’s not enough. If it was just growing old and insignificant, then I’d have some pity on them. But it’s not just old codgers railing against lawntrodding kids. No, it’s bigots, racists, chauvanists, sexists, and fundamentalist haters who are allowing themselves to be manipulated by the sociopathic kleptocrats into fear-driven rancor against anyone not white, not Xtian, not piously chaste, not heterosexual, not Republican — essentially everyone not them.

Nope. Sorry. Age is not sufficient or even necessary. First, I’m gonna be an old, white, straight guy one day… an old man with his salad days behind him and finishing up his dessert days with nothing left to look forward to but indigestion, gas, and a decent bowel movement if I’m lucky… but I’m certain I’m not going to be a lying, willfully-deceived, racist asshole who hates everyone except other puckered-up old assholes.

Second, the GOP is full of people, including blacks, gays, women, and immigrants, who spout the same lies and hatred. These are the same people who are going to one day be in the “unhappy dusk of their lives,” and will be the new face of the GOP (or whatever replaces it), just duskier, gayer, and girlier. But still greedy, inhuman predators with no conscience or empathy, and proud of it.

Fuck ’em. They’re the fucking reason why despite 6000 years of written history, and a lot more before that, the only way we’ve improved the human condition substantially is that we can now kill and heal more efficiently. That’s it… steam engines, television, computers, and genetic engineering still haven’t changed the way we treat one another, mostly because of these bastards holding us back.

Nope. No sympathy at all. At best, I extend them tolerance based solely on the universal application of my principles.

“I mistook him for a woman from behind.”

Isn’t this the mating call and/or standard excuse of every third world sex tourist?

That’s actually kind of handy because you get free car rides.

That and “She didn’t ask for money until after she gave me a half and half.”

Mmm… fresh, tree-ripened peaches…

I have not had any this good since I visited NC four years ago in August.

Commercial peaches in CA are crap. They’re picked before they’re ripe so they can survive distribution and retail handling, and while they’re “ripe” when you bring them home, they have no flavor.

I picked these myself from a place outside of Yucaipa, and I’m suprised that they even compare to Carolina peaches. These are little orange orgasms with pits.

Oh, BTW, I have business guests from Egypt arriving next week.

They’re very well educated, very responsible people who have visited before. And every one of them very pleasant guests and most gracious hosts (I’ve been to Cairo in the past year, too).

But this visit should be interesting…

Agree with everything though I find even “allowing themselves to be manipulated” to be too mild. They’re not being manipulated, they’re willing and enthusiastic participants.

This.

To me, it’s as simple as this – they’ve spent the last fifty years, roughly, running every campaign by appealing to the worst in human nature, so naturally, they’re left with a base made up of the worst human beings the country has to offer. All there is to it.

Also and more generally, preach it!

I think a doe vodka call goes something like:

grunt grunt grunt HRUNK HRUNK grunt grunt snort

But I could be wrong, I haven’t been vodka hunting in years.

The last thing I expected on dropping by Something Awful was to have the Libya debacle humanized for me in an unexpected way.

Apparently one of the career foreign service officers just killed was an SA “forum goon” and moderator of note. He looks to have been an all-around good guy.

OT, I seem to encounter a wierd profusion of web ads with this format:

“Mom publishes simple wrinkle secret that has angered doctors”
Or the ubiquitous “Language professors hate him!”

How to nail down the formula? There’s a secret. It’s quite simple. The hero who brings it to the masses is an ordinary person. He/she angers a certain elite by doing so. These elites act as info gatekeepers. It is in their interest to make simple matters seem complex so that you’ll seek professional help or, god forbid, learn difficult and complex material yourself. But you’re too street-smart for that. You want and deserve specific results now and easily. Behind all the smoke-and-mirrors of specialized knowledge, there’s a three-step plan of action, amirite? So what more do you need? “Cut to the chase!” you say. “I’ve got lotsa momming to do, and five languages to master before Tuesday!”
