Roundup: Is there some sort of game on?
Posted: February 3, 2013 by socklessjoe in Brevity etc., FAIL, Fucking Markets, Funniest End of Civilization Evah, Government FAIL, It's Always a Good Time to include Sheldon Cooper PhD, It's Science!, Liberal FAIL, News, Notes on the Revolution, Obama's Fault, Op/Sped, Random Crap, Teh FunnehVeeshir seems to have taken up the mantle of doing roundup-style posts since I’ve mostly abandoned blogging, but every once in a while I still will need to clear out my bookmarks…
Moe Lane: “The essential problem with the Chuck Hagel nomination.” – Moe is too kind, but basically on-point.
Everything the O-bots told you about Obamacare was a lie. We informed you thusly.
Wounded Warrior Project rejects church’s fundraising efforts. So I guess the ads singing “Say a prayer for peace” were entirely secular prayers to nobody in particular, or something. (“… one or more gods, or fewer…”)
A nice long write-up about the hubbub in Mali.
Reason: No, WWII did end the Depression.
Pending debt crisis link #2 (Pethokoukis @ AEI).
PIMCO’s Bill Gross on the “Credit Supernova“.
Happy days are here again: No-money-down mortgages are back, baby! (Facepalm)
Daily Caller: Obama’s new French economic adviser has ‘faith in redistribution’ (Double facepalm)
Weekly Standard: Obama Continues to Violate His Own ‘Stimulus’ Law by Not Releasing Quarterly Reports (Infinite facepalm)
How else could the government muck up the economy? By dragging on croudsourced funding regulations! (In violation of the law, to boot.)
Zero Hedge: Germans contemplate impact of US oil boom. Glimmer of hope.
Lowry via Ace: Limbaugh was right about Obama. No shit.
WashTimes: West Point center cites dangers of ‘far right’ in U.S. — Stay tuned for my pontifications about the insurrectionist doctrine.
Get your ass to Mars. One way.
Interesting new job
Posted: November 8, 2012 by socklessjoe in Brevity etc., Fun with Elections, Funniest End of Civilization Evah, Nanny StateI’m sure a lot of folks have heard about the adult film condom requirement recently approved by voters in Los Angeles county.
Here’s the part that caught my eye:
The measure requires adult film producers to apply for a permit from the county Department of Public Health to shoot sex scenes. Permit fees will finance periodic inspections of film sets to enforce compliance.
That’s right — LA will be hiring porn inspectors.
How’d ya like to hand out that business card?
Revenge, You Say?
Posted: November 4, 2012 by Edward von Bear in Brevity etc., Edumakashun, Occupy My AsscrackGiven the dustup over the “revenge” comment made by Obama and the subsequent “love of country” retort by the Romney team, I thought about revenge. To the left, revenge and avengement for past grievances, be they real or imagined, is nothing new; in fact, revenge fuels much of their policy and agenda motivation. So, getting worked up about a lefty uttering that word initially did not get me worked up. Ditto for Romney’s “love of country” comment.
But then I thought of something: what about this country? What has it been through the last four years? What has happened to the hopes, dreams, ambitions, and expectations of so many people since January 2009? What has happened to our standing in the world? What about the Constitution, our ability to defend ourselves, or the promise for a better tomorrow? In essence, what has happened to my country, your country, our country, and who facilitated this shittiness?
That’s why I do have revenge in mind with my vote. I fucking have revenge in mind for what has been inflicted upon this country. I have revenge in mind as I seek to see those who did this to us retired from office. And I fucking have revenge in mind, since I love this country too much to see those who this to it granted another shot to ruin it even further via the legal means granted to us.
Amoebafuck those in power with the ballot and the legal avenues to remove them from office bestowed upon us as a birthright. We are this close to voting the left out out of office and into the fuckbin of history, so don’t let up now.
That is all.
Sorry I have been away for a bit tending to other matters. If it pleases the audience, I think I have one more left in me.
Stay Tuned
Roundup: No Sandy Stuff
Posted: October 29, 2012 by socklessjoe in Brevity etc., Fun with Elections, News, Union Wins Again(1) The public option (sort of) lives?!?! Kill it. Kill it with fire.
(2) Steve Hayes lays out the Benghazi mess at TWS. They lied, and there’s no way around it.
(3) The map expands?
(4) Thank heaven Obama saved the American auto industry… oh wait… Fiat might move Chrysler/Jeep production to Italy. Dang.
(5) Shocker of all shockers, SEIU employees are subject to “mandatory volunteerism” to do political work.
(6) Eff it all and move to Canada? The Canucks seem to have their fiscal house in order.
Canadian scientists clearly incompetent
Posted: October 20, 2012 by socklessjoe in Brevity etc., FAIL, It's Science!, Random CrapNo evidence of PMS?
Either these are the least observant individuals on the earth, or I need to meet some of these Canadian chicks.
U-Toronto Professor Gillian Einstein (-Yes, her name is Einstein. [insert joke here]):
“Our review—which shows no clear evidence that PMS exists—will be surprising to many people, including health professionals.”
Also surprised by the study – men.
Danger, Will Robinson! (Daily Caller video release)
Posted: October 2, 2012 by socklessjoe in Brevity etc.My fellow conservatives:
For the love of Pete, do not criticize the “cadence” or “accent” of the newly released Obama video.
Go bananas on the content. Please. He says some absolutely ridiculous and inflammatory things in that video. There’s plenty there to work with.
But lay off of the style stuff. Be quietly amused by it, if you must, but shut the hell up in public.
“Code switching” is a well-documented political phenomenon. Congress-critters from all places have more pronounced local accents when they go back to their districts. Heck, I myself speak differently depending on what sorts of folk I’ve been around lately.
It happens, and it has nothing to do with the content of one’s speech.
Stick to content. To do otherwise is to play into the liberal narrative.
This Cannot Stand
Posted: September 30, 2012 by socklessjoe in Brevity etc., FAIL, Funniest End of Civilization Evah, Hotassery, LameWhat is the world coming to?
Maybe it’s that vegan diet she probably has her fiance on.
I, for one, stand willing and ready to do my part to end this injustice.
Isn’t that the definition of socialism?
Posted: September 18, 2012 by socklessjoe in Brevity etc., Funniest End of Civilization Evah, Lame, NewsWe’ve all heard the audio posted on Drudge:
“I actually believe in redistribution“
Do we really believe that the linguistic genius Constitutional Law Professor** Barack Obama meant something other than “redistribution”?
(**- Note: Never actually taught Con-Law)
No. He kept saying it.
Isn’t that sort of the definition of socialism?
I get the feeling that if Barack Obama went on live television and said, “I am a socialist”, that Chris Matthews would denounce Obama as being racist against himself.
