Sadly, No!

A fellow from the PostWatch blog (link thanks to Roger Ailes) writes:

Iraq’s Untold Story: Progress on the Power Front

Which is followed by a link to an article to some super duper local electricity project. Awesome. Of course, one does have to focus on the micro level, when the big picture sucks:

In the electricity sector, Administration officials promised to increase peak electricity output to at least 6,000 megawatts. But Iraq has never come close to achieving this objective. By August 26, 2005, Iraq’s peak output was just 4,635 megawatts, only slightly above the pre-war level of 4,400 megawatts. Actual summer demand was 8,600 megawatts, leading State Department officials to concede that ?[w]e’ll never meet demand.? In August 2005, Iraqis living in Baghdad had just two hours of power followed by four hours without power throughout the day.

Well, maybe they can shoot the messenger, since the report was commissioned by Democrats:

The report used U.S. government audits and briefings and documents from the State Department’s Iraq Reconstruction Management Office in Baghdad.

Oops.

You would cry too if this happened to you.

Today, Sadly, No! (the management, not the blog) turns a year older. Happy birthday to us.

Yes, it’s time for another round of XTREME Wingnut Peach-Off, where I scour the Internets for columns by the world’s craziest on-line ministers and pit them against our reigning champ, Pastor Joseph Grant Swank. This week’s challenger is Carl Wieland from AnswersInGenesis, America’s premier creationism “research” institute!

And now, Sadly, No! readers… LLLLLET’S GET REEEADY TO RUMMMMMMM-BLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!!

He’ll deny it, but we have our sources. The eBay Auction for leather pants:

You are bidding on a mistake.

We all make mistakes. We date the wrong people for too long. We chew gum with our mouths open. We say inappropriate things in front of grandma.

And we buy leather pants.

I can explain these pants and why they are in my possession. I bought them many, many years ago under the spell of a woman whom I believed to have taste. She suggested I try them on. I did. She said they looked good. I wanted to have a relationship of sorts with her. I?m stupid and prone to impulsive decisions. I bought the pants.

Thanks to Rob for the link.

Added: Have mercy on us, kittens of mass destructions.

Woof. This Darr column’s a real stinker:

No, Justin, I’ve never heard that before, probably because you’re the only person alive who’s stupid enough to say it.

This is just one example of the tortured logic liberal environmentalists would like you to believe in regard to Humanity’s affect on the environment.

Say, Justin? I’ve never heard any environmentalist say that hurricanes are caused by the extinction of species. And since you don’t provide any citations for this claim, I’m gonna assume you pulled it right out of your ass.

You have to remember that liberals do not think like you and me.

Indeed: liberals actually think.

We live in a world we believe to be basically good…

“Which is, of course, why we love starting so many wars…”

…and where doing what is right an end unto itself. If we stick to our values, look out for ourselves, and try to help those around us along the way, the world will be a better place.

Justin, you gotta be shitting me. Just last month, you wrote an entire column blaming people in New Orleans for being too poor to flee Hurricane Katrina, and now you’re talking about changing the world through some fruity message of altruistic love?

Marie’s hit the big time with a new gig at Renew America. Thankfully, fame hasn’t gone to her head- she’s still wingnutty.

Hey, what’s that thing at the top of the page? A logo? A Sadly, No! logo?

Inconceivable!

What’s next, the return of the style switcher? A choice between dark-on-light and light-on-dark? Even more Songs from Prussian Blue?

Two out of three can’t be bad! We’ll let you pick the ones you prefer.

It’s still like Grand Central Nazi Station over here.

If you’re bored and want to punch a Nazi, try down in this post. They won’t come up here for some reason.

Wait, this just in:

Hmm.

Oh look, it’s the Horten Brothers.

“Hel-lo! We were teenage German aeronautical pioneers, responsible for many advanced ‘flying wing’ designs — including a supersonic jet fighter that unfortunately never reached major production.”

And wait, you guys were Nazis too, right?

“Ha ha! Well, that was the only game in town at the time, you understand.”

I’m not sure I like this new direction, honestly.

Apparently, John Hinderaker will be appearing on CNN’s Reliable Sources. I know irony’s been dead for years, but did CNN really have to dig up its grave and pee on its rotting corpse?

This is the best column Kaye’s written in quite sometime (and by “the best” I mean “the most hilariously inept and illogical”):

Border control is simplistic . . . so just do it!

There is a simple way to control the borders.

Before we go any further, I’d just like to point out that whenever someone like Kaye thinks a problem is easy to fix, there’s a 99.99999999% chance (with a .00000001% margin of error) that their proposed solution is going to be fantastically ill-considered and devastatingly stupid. Let’s see if Kaye’s idea meets this standard:

Just put 100,000 volts of electricity on the fence the illegal immigrants use to climb over into America.

It sure does. Kaye, you realize that illegal immigrants don’t have to climb over a fence to get into America, don’t you? Or has all that rubber cement you’ve been huffing led you to believe that Pat Buchanan was actually elected president back in 1992?
