“If being conservative means rejecting gay conservatives because they are gay, then fine, I’m not a conservative.”
It’s their party, but people afraid of gay cooties really need to get a grip. Everybody knows girls are where cooties come from.
Now, I hate trusting a Minitrue outlet, but I don’t think they’d actually alter a transcript, you never know but this feels right.
Boehner from ABC’s This (is) Weak
MARTHA RADDATZ: So, do you trust President Obama?
SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER: Absolutely….. There’s no issue there. We have a very, very– good relationship.
Fuck.
But it gets better.
SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER: We do not have an immediate debt crisis.
Double fuck.
SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER: Well, I think– most people would think that I’m part of the common-sense caucus.
By “most people”, I assume he’s talking about his staff and GOP tools who hate wacko birds.
I could quote this fucking thing all day, but I’ll end on a hilarious note
SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER:…The Senate is likely to finish their budget– after– the Easter recess.
Listen, there aren’t enough “ha”s in the world for that “bwa” so I don’t want to use them up on something so fucking stupid. They’re already doing more continuing spending $trillions resolutions. Those are much better than budgets, they don’t have deficit spending or earmarks. At least, everybody can pretend they don’t and really, that’s all that matters.
In Fuck You Minitrue News, a puppy blender link quoting The Hill. (I don’t link Minitrue if I can avoid it)
“A growing number of states are moving forward with legislation to exempt them from new federal gun controls and, in some cases, brand as criminals anyone who tries to enforce them. While many of the bills are considered symbolic or appear doomed to fail, the legislative explosion reflects a backlash against legislative and regulatory efforts in Washington to tamp down on gun violence.”
Fuck you, it’s not about reducing gun violence, it’s about control, it’s about making citizens into subjects and you assholes know it, you just keep pushing your fucking view at every chance.
So what does it say when I see the ‘Justice” Dept. is investigating the Wall Street Journal and my first thought is, “How did they piss off Obama?”
said it had received information from a person it described as a whistleblower who claimed one or more Journal employees had provided gifts to Chinese government officials in exchange for information, according to people familiar with the case.
First, so fucking what? If they want to pay for information, why is that Obama’s….. oh yeah, Chinese bribes.
Nevermind.
Another Weasel Zippers link that would be fucking hilarious if it weren’t as we they were fucking with us over the SEQUESTER THAT’S GONNA KILL US ALL!!!!!.
The federal government is spending $227,437 to investigate how animals have been depicted in National Geographic magazine over a span of 120 years, which federal officials say is an “innovative study” that will examine “images of animals to see how people have changed their view of the natural world.”
… “Predators like wolves and coyotes have been consistently portrayed as a threat.
Gee, too bad they don’t make people think coyotes are all fluffy and friendly and stuff. I mean, who wouldn’t want their kids wanting to pet a vicious carnivore that’s one of the more opportunistic killers and lives in and near people areas? Sure jerks like my neighbor who lost his dog and chickens to the coyotes might be unhelpful about that, but that’s cuz he’s not as smart as bureaucrats in DC.
Okay, three more chucklers to end the day.
First, “Crazed Man Dressed As Vagina Shuts Down Pro-Life Speech” I will say, the story delivers on the headline. His mom isn’t very good at sewing.
The estimates – given with 75 per cent and 95 per cent certainty – suggest only a five per cent chance of the real temperature falling outside both bands.
But when the latest official global temperature figures from the Met Office are placed over the predictions, they show how wrong the estimates have been, to the point of falling out of the ‘95 per cent’ band completely…
Do tell.
The funniest part, for me, is people scratching their heads and thinking that maybe other people who say the same phenomenon causes heat, cold, drought, floods, oyster herpes and the Earth exploding might just be making shit up.
And last, a quiz. I guaran-damn-tee nobody, and I mean nobody, gets the answer.
Who wrote this bit of poetry? (Link below so you can’t cheat, I took this from the middle because there are some words that might give a clue)
I am a supplicant for a goblet of wine from the hand of a sweetheart.”
“O Friend, I have become captivated by the mole over your lip. I have seen your languid eyes and I have become sick.”
“Place a strand of your wavy hair in my way.
In white ink, so you’ll have to highlight it.
Sayyid Ruhollah Mostafavi Musavi Khomeini
That’s right, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei,
As the author says
Apparently the same guy who issued a deadly fatwa against Salman Rushdie and his ‘Satanic verses’; the same guy who has written a mini guide for good Muslim pedophiles on how to have sexual pleasure from a baby among other atrocities; has also written poetry on wine, love, taverns, drunkenness and languid eyes
Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi has confirmed that the Pope intended to take his name from the 13th century aristocrat who left his wealthy family to serve the poor and rebuild the Church.
So, St. Francis of Assisi.
Now, back to the post!
My subscription to spell check ran out so you gets what I gives.
I’m all depressed today, Nicole wrote what I was worried about, I’m becoming an OUTRAGE!!!! monger. Apcray.
Denial is just not strong enough for today and I can’t stay drunk all day. Maybe I should turn to LSD. Eh, I’ll try to see the funny.
This one actually does make me laugh, It’s a drudge link and he’s talking about Obama slapping around a Dem congresscritter. What makes me laugh is this
Obama was referring to his $1 billion proposal for 15 manufacturing “innovation centers,”
He actually expects people to take that shit seriously.
The article goes on to note this
the details of which are still somewhat hazy.
“Hazy”, yeah, we’ll go with that. It sounds so much better than, “Ridiculous crap that doesn’t mean anything.”
We all saw Cruz make Feinstein look like a fool yesterday. You know it was bad because Andrea Mitchell declared DiFi the winner, but we also see this as another proof they know she looked like the moron she is (Dumber than a box of Boxers!)
Feinstein told Wolf Blitzer she “felt patronized” by the “arrogant” junior senator and had to take some time to cool off afterward.
You cannot “protect” a right while calling for limitations on it.
Preach it brother!
How do you say, “How many divisions does he have?” in Mandarin? (unsafe, NY Times Link)
China congratulated Pope Francis on Thursday on his ascension to the papacy, but also warned the Vatican not to interfere in what China deems to be its internal affairs.
This past Sunday, a Chicago area church sponsored a Second Amendment Sunday filled with “assault” pop-tarts, “combat” cupcakes and a sheet-cake that featured a chocolate semi-automatic Glock handgun with a quote from Jesus that read “Blessed are the peacemakers.”
That last is a very nice touch except they really needed it to be a Colt, not a Glock.
Egyptian media outlets are reporting that a number of Hamas members were involved in the August 2012 attack on an Egyptian military base that killed 16 Egyptian soldiers. The three Hamas members linked to the attack are Ayman Nofal, Mohamed Ibrahim Salah Abu Shamala, and Raed al Attar.
On the one hand, I doubt the Muslim Brotherhood likes Hamas killing people in Egypt without their permission, on the other hand, they were killing the main obstacles to the MB’s takeover of Egypt. Interesting to see how it plays out.
“The Lebanese cabinet is required to hold an extraordinary meeting to ask the army to deploy along the border,”
Whose side would they be on? So far in Syria we’ve seen homegrown terrorists, al Quaeda, Hezbollah and Syrian military in a dog’s breakfast of a nightmare scenario, I guess whose side they’ll be on depends on how many Hezbollah units are included.
The attempted murder of an “Islamophobe” is part of the scene in today’s Europe. Among those targeted have been such obvious “right-wing extremists” as secular feminist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, gay hedonist Pim Fortuyn, and coke-snorting anti-monarchist Theo van Gogh. While I was in Copenhagen paying a visit to Lars’s Danish Free Press Society, a young Chechen jihadist opposed to all this outrageous Islamophobia prematurely detonated while assembling his bomb in his hotel room, and we all had a good laugh. But sometimes, as on Lars’s doorstep, the jihad wannabe is less incompetent and gets a little closer.
It being EUnuchstan, they need to provide ‘balance’.
The author Hedegaard is one of the few Danes who is a certified racist, as he some years ago was fined by a High Court for having stated in a blog interview that Muslim fathers rape their children. He was later acquitted by the Supreme Court.
Hmmm, where does one get one of those certificates? And since he was acquitted, isn’t he a “formerly certified racist” as he’d have lost his certified status?
I’m surprised we haven’t seen this bit of sorta good news at Hot Air, Ace, Drudge, Gateway pundit or any of the other news aggregators.
… jumped out a window from the family’s co-op apartment Wednesday afternoon with 10-month-old son Keston in her arms. She died instantly.
The baby survived by bouncing off his motionless mom’s chest upon impact.
I’m always in favor of them failing at the “murder” part of a “murder/suicide” deal.
It’s one reason I feel it’s urgent that we get real immigration reform, allowing millions to step out of the shadows and on to a broad path toward citizenship. It will help, not hurt, our environmental efforts, and potentially in deep and powerful ways.
The biggest lack in today’s world are people who stand back and say, “You know, that’s pretty fucking ridiculous, maybe you should not say that.”, that’s why it’s often so funny out.
I’ve been wondering something lately, who will be the first con-blogger to be arrested for sedition. Mike at Cold Fury has a list of some of the people I think are in the running.
I just realized that SMOD should be plan B, FrnakJ notes what we all used to know was Plan A.
So, what do you think should be the future of conservatism? I’m thinking conquering other planets. Going to other planets looks like the only realistic way to escape big government now.
Yup, Heinlein, in Time Enough For Love, I think, said that space travel hurt the Earth as freedom lovers escaped the increasing loss of freedom on Earth.
Just as immigration to America hurt EUnuchstan as all the freedom lovers left for America for generations.
In other words, I’ve been rooting for stuff traveling in the wrong direction! That’s pretty funny.
BradXTC went and did something for which he can not be forgiven, he looked into an OUTRAGE!!!! without being OUTRAGED!!!!! and it looks as if the “Bronze Star for the PPT” story is not as OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!! as I thought.
So thanks to MkeD nobody gets extra-credit. He blew the curve too. You can all thank him.
Oh, and MikeD? Listen, when I get OUTRAGED!!!!! I really don’t like to hear facts. Jeez, that’s what I get for reading comments and clicking links.
The key to the interpretation is found in the crucial four words that are often tacked on to the phrase “Israel’s right to exist” — namely, “… as a Jewish state.” As I understand it, the principle that Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state has three parts: first, that Jews, as a collective, constitute a people in the sense that they possess a right to self-determination; second, that a people’s right to self-determination entails the right to erect a state of their own, a state that is their particular people’s state; and finally, that for the Jewish people the geographical area of the former Mandatory Palestine, their ancestral homeland, is the proper place for them to exercise this right to self-determination….
In fact, I think there is a basis to challenge all three, but for present purposes I will focus on the question of whether a people’s right to self-determination entails their right to a state of their own, and set aside whether Jews count as a people and whether Jews have a claim on that particular land.
I realize there are those within the Republican Party who do not like Rush Limbaugh. Some of them even think the GOP is worse because of him.
Likewise, there are those within the GOP who say they like Rush and see “a use” for him, but they themselves do not like listening to him. He’s just not their cup of tea or something.
These people should really spend a week listening to Rush three hours a day and perhaps they would not be so stupid.
“I tell you what, this is one of the best experiences I’ve had. Everybody’s serious, everybody’s knowledgeable, they’ve been around the issue,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham-R-S.C., who’s up for re-election next year and facing a potential GOP primary challenge from the right. He said it’s “sort of what I came up here to do — sit down with serious people to solve serious and hard problems.”
-Illinois broke federal securities laws and “misled investors” in misstating the true health of the state’s depleted pension funds between 2005 and early 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced Monday.
a. Endy
b. Funny
c. Both
d. None of the above
5. Good paranoia spreading. Forbes notices the DHS buying more than a billion rounds of ammo and doesn’t think it’s funny.
Mr. Obama? Where’s the disdain now? Cancelling, or at minimum, drastically scaling back — by 90% or even 99%, the DHS order for ammo, and its receipt and deployment of armored personnel carriers, would be a “fourfer.”
The federal government would set an example of restraint in the matter of weaponry.
It would reduce the deficit without squeezing essential services.
It would do both in a way that was palatable to liberals and conservatives, slightly depolarizing America.
It would somewhat defuse, by the government making itself less armed-to-the-teeth, the anxiety of those who mistrust the benevolence of the federales.
no legally-owned civilian M4 has ever been used to murder anyone, anywhere, in the history of the United States. This would be a major story, if true.
But it isn’t.
Neither WPXI nor KDKA support the claim that a military M4 was used in the shooting. Neither WPXI nor KDKA support the more likely claim that an AR-15 was used in the shooting.
And those boxes had Chinese stencils on them, indications that the missiles were built by state-owned China Precision Machinery Import and Export Company. Images of the missiles identify them as QianWei1-M antiaircraft missiles.
“The QW1-M are systems we’ve not seen on the black market yet,”
I have a friend at a top law school who assured me that his colleagues would never discriminate based on ideology….“Remember how I said my colleagues wouldn’t discriminate based on ideology? I was wrong.”
So just to add up the comments by Times contributors over the past couple of years: if you live in the big blank space between Manhattan and L.A. in the New Yorker cartoon, you’re a participant in “the dance of the low-sloping foreheads.” If you actually live in the Times’ backyard, you’re a potential Progressive racist. (Woodrow Wilson, call your office.) When the Weekly Standard noted recently that in the eyes of the MSM, the customer is always wrong, they had no idea how much he was truly loathed by those hoping that he’ll part with a note featuring Abraham Lincoln’s face and some change for a copy of the Sunday edition.
Mr. Colion Noir is the newest NRA spokesperson (black guy the rapper idiot is mad at V). I saw this on his FB page:,,,
They listed his full name (he writes under a nom de plume), his street address, his father’s name & address, and the names of several family members including what looks like his mom.
With a unified command structure, the new entity will be able to co-ordinate its maritime forces and “pose a very serious challenge” to Japanese forces in waters close to the disputed Senkaku archipelago, which China calls the Diaoyus, he said.
n Air Force chaplain has been awarded a Bronze Star for his service in crafting an especially good PowerPoint about how to treat Islamic religious materials with sensitivity, (emphasis by Blackfive V)
So the French are finding huge, militarized al Quaeda camps in Mali, complete with heavy weapons and various terroristical suicide belt stuff and whatnot, but that’s not why I’m linking it. This is.
We are 70 percent there … but we must do 100 percent,” Le Drian said yesterday. “The mission given to our forces by the President of the Republic is to succeed in liberating all Malian territory … so there will be more combat.”
Holy Chit Meng! That’s the French talking about winning a war! Although…. French “help” doesn’t come cheap. Maybe they want their colony back. They do that sort of thing in Africa.
Interesting article on China trying to be Da Man in the Pacific rim. Well, not so much ‘interesting’ as pretty funny.
Take this
Why has the Chinese government, especially the People’s Liberation Army, appeared more aggressive, self-confident and assertive in dealing with the US and its allies?…
This “unrelenting strategy” first calls for China to confuse its opponent’s judgments; second, create and induce internal conflicts within its opponent; and third, deepen the opponent’s existing internal conflicts before launching an offensive attack.
They seem to think it’s all Sun Tzu strategery. That’s like saying the Road Runner uses Clausewitz to defeat Wile E. Coyote. You see, it’s Obama’s relentless strategery to confuse America’s judgments (by siding with the dictator against the democracy), to create and induce internal conflicts (by balkanizing America), and deepen the existing internal conflicts (gun control, attack the rich, kill whitey, etc.) which emboldens China.
This bit is what makes it funny.
as the Chinese Communist Party seeks to reduce Washington’s influence in Asia.
Ummmm, dude? That’s Obama’s goal too.
Which leads us to the Norks cutting off communication with South Korea. But I can’t tell if it’s the normal, “Give us food!!!” temper tantrum or something China told them to do.
Pyongyang has also threatened to cut off a hotline with UN forces (read, US. V) in South Korea, at the border “truce village” of Pammunjom.
Cutting off talking with us could lead to war, which the Norks and their Chinese masters don’t seem to really want. Yet.
This one is pretty cool. Japan and the Philippines are acting like allies. And not The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere sort of allies, but actual allies against the war-threatening, murderous commies in China.
As Japan’s war of words with China continues to escalate, it’s beginning to move closer to another former rival—the Philippines. Last month, Tokyo announced plans to donate 10 brand-new patrol boats to the Philippine Coast Guard. Later in the month, the two countries met to discuss further expanding their maritime cooperation in the contested waters of the South China Sea.
Cool. They’re realizing they can’t count on us for at least another 4 years.
Speaking of intimidation by commie dictators, let’s go to America!
According to El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa, the vast majority of the 30 Sheriffs who made the trip to the Capitol, last week, came to testify in support of the second Amendment. Unfortunately, the rules were changed so that only one Sheriff could testify on a bill. Maketa claimed that CO Democrats were pressuring pro-gun sheriffs in the state with tactics that border on extortion. In an email he received, last week, he said the Democrat Senate majority leadership had threatened to stop or stall pay raises to the state’s elected sheriffs if they refused to support Colorado’s pending gun control legislation.
Said Hart “I tried to express my opinion and tell them that my Constitutional rights had been violated. I began quoting the Constitution, line by line…
Yeah, so how’d that work out for you? (as if we all didn’t already know)
When the Harts left the gathering, they were followed into the parking lot of the community center, and the same young man who had been so upset by Ms. Hart’s comments in the community center, started screaming and shouting at her, took down the license plate number of her vehicle and said – “See if you are able to pay your property taxes NOW!”
So obviously some pro-dictator types didn’t like it. No big deal. Just some loon yelling, right? Geez, you really need to pay more attention.
When they arrived, there were 5 police cars from the Franklinville Police Department. They advised her that the Clayton Police wanted to talk to her about the allegations….
Her purse was taken from her and she was put into a “paddy wagon,” transported to the police station-…
She was arrested and booked for “terroristic threats” and “contempt.”
At the police station, she was handcuffed to a chair.
It’s a terrorist threat to discuss the Constitution with dictators. Duh.
IMO, a whole bunch of people need to go to jail over this and none of them are the lady who dared to open her mouth.
A little more endy before we get to the funny.
Samizdata’s quote of the day(Quote of the week at least IMO, but it’s their blog and they decide that kind of stuff V).
For the first time in recorded history, we have nearly every central bank printing money and trying to debase their currency. This has never happened before. How it’s going to work out, I don’t know. It just depends on which one goes down the most and first, and they take turns. When one says a currency is going down, the question is against what? Because they are all trying to debase themselves. It’s a peculiar time in world history.
“Peculiar” is one way of putting it. Funny and endy is how I put it.
For the record, I hate Starbucks’ products, I like skim milk in my cappuccino, I don’t like their burnt coffee and I really don’t like the way I have to use their terminology in order to order a fucking coffee, but I love their stand on the 2nd Amendment and this is beautiful.
Monday is the last day New Yorkers will be able to buysuper-sized sugary drinks in New York City.
The cola crackdown goes into effect on Tuesday. …
Starbucks announced it plans it will continue offering 20 ounce venti-sized drinks because of the milk content. Like Dunkin’ Donuts, customers will also be able to add their own sugar.
Geez, now I have to go get some espresso and maybe a pastry. So how did their Nannarch take it? Heh, we all know.
Speaking Sunday on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg called Starbucks’ plan “ridiculous.”
“Starbucks knows how to market things, knows how to package things,” he said. “They can change instantly when it’s in their interest to do so.”
How dare they pretend they live in America! Their Nannarchs know what’s in their interest. It’s not their decision, it’s Bloomberg’s!
Heh. Heh I say. (I forget where I saw this, one of the news aggregators I think). It’s about the Space and Science Research Corporation who, like the Farmer’s Almanac, have the temerity to pay attention to the Sun when discussing the Earth’s climate. I know, anti-science.
The SSRC and its President, Mr. John L. Casey, have an established record of accuracy in climate change predictions using the Relational Cycle Theory or RC Theory of climate change, a theory based on solar cycles as the main drivers behind the Earth’s variations in climate.”
Jeez, so you try to model reality? How is that gonna prove WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!?
In the Executive Summary, the SSRC report authors show convincing evidence that the Earth’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures are on a long term temperature cool down as a result of the just started reduction in the Sun’s energy output. Called a “solar hibernation,” this rare and powerful natural cycle of the Sun has been shown to bring long and potentially dangerous cold climate eras to the planet.”
Oh.
That highlights the biggest problem with Global Warmmongering, you’re attacked if you do real science and that article will be ignored by all the right people, it might interfere with the lucrative Global Warmmongering industry.
This Ain’t Hell has one niche that’s important, they’re big on Stolen Valor. Which is when PX Rangers and other liars claim to be a 182nd Airborne Green Beret Ranger with the Victoria Cross and then try to make money off those lies. So TAH gets attacked for highlighting these lying pieces of shit. Their response?
I don’t care that Dick Stoops didn’t get into the Missouri National Guard Hall of Fame, based on his lies, either. I don’t care that Ike Densmore killed himself because of his lies. I don’t care that Todd Hamilton‘s charity fell to pieces.
What I do care about is that people understand that there are now consequences for their bad behavior. Apparently most people weren’t taught that by their parents, I guess that part of their childhood development is left to TAH.
Good for them. Too often in our society no good deed goes unpunished, it’s nice to see assholes find consequences meeting actions.
A few days ago I received a personal email solicitation from a senior person at the organization No Labels asking, “Would you be open for 15 minutes to hear progress on No Labels?” The group advocates bypassing ideological gridlock, working together across the aisle, and all of us rolling up our sleeves and solving problems in Congress, government, and society at large.
They’re just trying to say they’re In The Middle and not partisan. Unlike those meanies on the Right in the Hitler party!
Schakowsky: We’re on a roll now, and I think we’ve got to take the–you know, we’re gonna push as hard as we can and as far as we can.
Mattera: So the assault weapons ban is just the beginning?
Schakowsky: Oh absolutely. I mean, I’m against handguns. We have, in Illinois, the Council Against Handgun… something [Violence]. Yeah, I’m a member of that. So, absolutely.
Goals, they has them. (and those goals include gaols and chains).
You know for a crew who claim to be cool, they surely do a lot of things that require they be ridiculed. The latest is #askflotus.
Hi #AskFLOTUS Was Barack with you on 9/11/12 during #Benghazi…Asking for about 300 million or so people. Thanks.
Above the Post Update Cuz I Mean To Put This In The Post.
Chavez is Dead! The only bad thing is that he died in between Dead Pools, (I’d click that link just for the pic, it’s awesome) so nobody gets the dick. Oh well.
Recall a few weeks ago they were talking about what happens after Chavez, so here are the players for their Civil War.
I’m not sure who to root for, the secret policeman or the army guy. Eh, either way it’ll be interesting.
Now, back the post!
A buddy of mine in DC says Snowquestration is the gubmint werker name for the coming snow storm.
I bet snowquestration is just like the sequestration, a bunch of gov’t workers will be told to stay home and they’ll be paid for it.
I was always torn on snow days when I worked for the gov’t. On the one hand, they were wasting $millions. On the other hand, Snow Day!
WTF happened to Jeopardy!? I tried to watch it last night for the first time in a long time, years probably. They had a category about celebrities’ favorite tv shows.
The “celebrities” were a bunch of “journalists” and Lewis Black (Kids, ask your grandparents who he is). Repeat after me, blow-dried, teleprompter readers are not celebrities.
So okay, I could take that. I understand today’s teleprompter readers think they’re celebrities, but I still didn’t like it.
Then they had a category on “exiles”, I forget the first one, the next was Dante. Then, this answer, “He was forced to leave the US…” and the question was “Who was Roman Polanski”.
No fucking mention of his drugging a 14 year old and rape-raping her, just “he had to leave”.
And that’s why we’re so fucked. Every facet of every entertainment outlet pushes leftist ideas as normal.
So low info types think MSNBC isn’t full of shit-flinging monkeys, Foxnews is right-wing hate and Obama isn’t a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure while the tens of thousands of people in the righty-blogosphere are just reduced to watching it happen.
So that’s why it’s more important than ever to laugh.
This morning I said the Wash Post wouldn’t correct their ‘reportage’ on how the Daily Caller were lying liars who lie.
The once-legendary Washington Post has been caught once again correcting a high-profile article without noting the correction
Boy do I have egg on my face.
We saw earlier that the Norks are all upset and they’re GONNA KILL US ALL!!!!!, apparently they’re upset about China and the US agreeing on sanctions.
Okay, so what is China doing? They’ve basically agreed to sanctions on one of their provinces (the crazy one they use to fuck with the rest of the world), so what game are they playing?
Trying to figure out stuff like that is what makes any end of civilization interesting, watching people pretend China is not happy about the Norks is a good example of why this one is so funny.
Okay, now I feel kind of stupid, apparently the “Cannibal” of the NY Post didn’t actually eat anybody, he just read websites about it and talked about it. I’m not defending any of that, but he didn’t actually do anything but talk shit on the intertubes.
All I can say is that any of you people playing World of Warcraft had better be careful about who you kill.
On taxes, McConnell (R-Ky.) just flat-out beat Joe Biden. He preserved 98 percent of the Bush tax cuts in perpetuity, which from a policy perspective is huge. He also made sure that the payroll tax holiday came to a conclusion, thereby making sure that every American would feel the tax increase that President Obama has long been fighting for.
So they kept taxes low and raised taxes and that’s a win?More
On spending, the Republicans haven’t gotten everything they wanted. But they did get the rebranding opportunity that they so desperately needed
No, they didn’t get anything they wanted and the rebranding is bullshit. They’re still going to blamed for……
Oh, I get it. This is a “See? It’s the GOP’s fault!!!” article.
Sorry, I didn’t see what you were doing there O’Brien.
Wyatt catches some fucking hilariously infuriating bullshit. The First Worf is talking about kids living in gun-free zones (actual results may vary) and she acknowledges that some people don’t have Secret Service guarding their kids so it’s unsafe to go outside so: A Wii for every organized-community resident!
I would encourage parents that if they also find themselves in a situation where they can’t get outside, then let’s figure out what we can do indoors because it doesn’t take the great outdoors to be moving every day.”
Fuck you. That’s the only response to that. They take guns and then tell you to hide under your bed. Fuck you. I can’t say that strongly enough.
In this photo taken Feb. 14, 2013, Peter Bensinger, a former Drug Enforcement Administration chief under Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, speaks at a news conference in Chicago. Bensinger is one of eight former DEA chiefs that say the federal government needs to act now or it might lose the chance to nullify Colorado and Washington’s laws legalizing recreational marijuana use.
I mean, where else can you legally get guns, a badge, a kevlar vest and go around kicking in peoples’ doors and shooting their dogs?
In most countries not named “America”, that’s where. I say we send these assholes to Pakistan or Egypt. They can take their MRAPs with them.
Hefty payroll taxes are one reason behind Ukraine’s massive gray economy, in which millions of workers are simply never declared by their employers as official employees.
To move labor out of the shadows, authorities are proposing to drastically cut the monthly contribution, which funds the heavily indebted pension system. Proponents argue that a wider tax base will make up for losses.
When you get freaking crazy about taking people’s money, they won’t give it to you. When you relax your overbearing takings, they are more likely to give you money! This would also result in strengthening the respect for the rule of law.
Of course in America, they’re going the “take away their guns and arm the feds to the teeth to make them respect the law” route. Ukraine, of course, has a lot of history with that approach.
People have been wondering why they’re taking so long to start deliberating on choosing the next pope, this article has an idea on why. Headline
Non-European bias before conclave begins
Sounds plausible, I know they wanted one of those Africans to be the next pope as Africa is a place where Christianity is growing. This would make it cooler for Africans and maybe get people happy about Catholicism and less happy with the murderous Sudanese type of Religion of Pieces type.
Awesome. That’s not CGI, it’s a subterranean deal in Utah. I’ve been to Howe Caverns in NY and Luray Caverns in VA, they’re awesome. I really want to check this out.
Eh, not as funny as this morning, but I didn’t start off after reading about Chicago cops driving rental cars on patrol.
I’d love to see the rental agreement on that, somehow I doubt the insurance is $3/day.
I tried yesterday, but I was forcing it, it just wasn’t funny. But this morning I got a good belly laugh. I’ll save that story for a while.
Let’s start in Iraq. Remember how we overthrew the Ba’athist Party (like Ba’al worship but with more baby killing) in Iraq?
As many as 40 Syrian soldiers and government employees have been killed by unidentified gunmen in Iraq.
They were among a group of Syrian nationals who crossed the border into Iraq to escape a Syrian rebel attack last week.
Iraqi officials were escorting the group to the Syrian border when they came under fire in the town of Akashat in Anbar province.
Authorities say a number of Iraqi soldiers were also killed in the ambush.
So are we allies with Syria now as J Effin Kerry is offering money to the people fighting them? Obama does like to fight both sides of any conflict (except against me).
In boy-fucking savage news, Obama’s partners for peace are helping Pakistani soldiers be all peaceful.
The Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan released a videotape on the fighting in the Mehsud areas of South Waziristan which includes graphic footage of the mutilation of several Pakistani soldiers who appear to have been killed in a firefight last summer
First, you have to admit that it’s kind of funny that the same boy-fucking, murderous, torturers who love to mutilate…well everybody and everything got their turbans in a bunch when some Marines pissed on their dead.
Also, I finally figured something out, when Taliban types say Religion of Peace, they mean “peaceful as the grave”, I feel so stupid I never figured that out before.
An Israeli soldier desecrated a Quran when he kicked it during a [religious] teaching workshop in the Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards, and hit female students participating in the workshop,
Wait, no you don’t. Another example of exporting our values, we all know Minitrue just makes shit up to attack their enemies (me).
But you’d think that people who have set rules for how to beat the women they own would think of something other to accuse Israel of. Eh, it makes them murderously happy, so that’s all that matters.
Intellesting, the Norks have said they’re not abiding by the cease-fire.
North Korea warned it will cancel the Korean War cease-fire agreement on March 11
Apcray, there are two things wrong with that. First, where’s fucking McArthur when you need him?
Second, I turn 50 later on this month and I have a bunch of bets riding on me making it to 50 (you wouldn’t believe the odds I got 30 years ago), how fucking much would it suck if I lost that bet because the fucking Norks KILL US ALL!!!!!!!?
Eh, that’s all the overseas links I have. Let’s go back to America! My favorite country, it’s where I keep all my shit.
First, I can’t decide if this is funny, very funny, or endishly funny.
Bush, who would be a leading contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination if he chooses to run
A leader for the GOP nomination? I guess, if the GOP has decided they just don’t want anybody but the establishment to vote GOP next election. I would think he’s more likely to be running on another party’s ticket.
I was just thinking about how hilarious it would be if we went Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama-Bush, with the twist at the end that Bush III runs as a Dem!
Think about it, Obama is not going to make Bush’ mistake, he’s going to jettison Biden before his last year so he can have an electable VP to run (Or he’s going to try to run a third time, but I’m not into that paranoia yet), so why not Bush? It’s so fucking hilariously infuriating that it just might happen!
In more, “We have no idea what the fuck is going on” GOP news, we read this,
The National Republican Senatorial Committee plans to expand its press operation to train campaigns earlier in the cycle on how to better handle the kind of candidate missteps that have plagued its party’s nominees.
The goal? To avoid what’s become known in GOP circles as “Todd Akin moments.”
You idiots want to avoid a “moment”? How about you avoid a McCain/Graham moment?
Nahhhh, they know how to win elections. Let’s be Dem lite! People like Dems, they’ll like Dem Lite even more! It’s worked so well the last two presidential elections!
As we all know, the Menendez deal is All About Sex(tm), so the Wash Post found some hooker to say, “I lied about Menendez”. So the Daily Caller notices, Hey, that’s the wrong hooker! A problem though, the Wash Post isn’t likely to post corrections, you can’t make a story All About Sex(tm) if you keep confusing people with corrections. And the few tens of thousands of people who will see the Daily Caller link? They’re just Tea Bagging assholes who can be safely ignored.
A little WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!! from the sequester news.
Agriculture Department said it needs three “insect production workers” to help grow bollworms in Phoenix.
You have to admit, that’s a nice touch.
At first glance this will make Radley Balko happy. The Navy is getting out of the war on drugs.
U.S. Navy frigates will stop patrolling for drug runners by April because of forced sequestration budget cuts
Until he realizes that it will just mean domestic law-enforcement will just have to spend more time and energy kicking down old ladies’ doors to shoot them and their little dogs too.
Sean at the NC Gun Blog (he of the NYS Boycott,) also writes about various gun-related things in his area, like this choir-boy who was shot. But that’s not why I’m linking, I’m linking for the rap sheet Sean linked. Fucking guy kept being convicted of various crimes (including multiple, felon with a gun charges) and the only sentence he served fully was a 90 day sentence. He had one sentence that was a mininum of 16 months and a maximum of 20 months. He served 5.
Less than 1/3 of what they claimed was the “miniumum” for a felon who was caught for repeatedly breaking gun laws. But if some poor fool in NYS puts more than 7 rounds in his 10/22 magazine as he’s terrorizing some tin cans, he’ll go to jail for just as long or longer.
I did learn something from that boycott, Vltor is pronounce “Ultor”, they use the Roman U. So when you call them “Ultor” you’ll have the satisfaction of some tool correcting you and snottily saying, “It’s V-L Tor”.
It’s as if there’s a rush to see who can spark the revolution.
In, It Sure Is A Good Thing Obama Is So Weakened He Won’t Be Able To Nominate Unfit Judges news, we see Kagan and Sotomayor acting as we expect lefties to act. Making up their minds long before they hear the facts of the case and browbeating anybody and everybody who disagrees with them. It’s too long to excerpt, read the whole thing if you have a problem getting started in the morning and you’re out of coffee or Red Bull.
This one makes me laugh. We’re going to have THE HIGHEST TAX REVENUE EVAH!!!!!!!!!!! this year, according to projections that ignore reality. Repeat after me, the CBO’s projections are wishful thinking piled on an ignorance of reality. I look forward to articles next year that talk about how low tax receipts are. When Bush cut taxes we had high tax receipts, when people raise taxes, what they take in goes down. I’d suggest you ask NY and CA pols about that, but they just can’t figure that out even after decades of watching it happen.
In hopeful news, Texas outlaws drones taking pictures. (they make it clear the camera-vehicle is unmanned).
That’s a slashdot link, they seem to think it’s directed at people like them taking pictures on other’s land, probably. But it’s also directed at the gov’t, they include satellites, so it’s for google and the gov’t.
It’s about being private on your own land. I’m all in favor of that. When I get my compound in the desert, it’s gonna have tank traps and AA, so I kind of hope they send their Cox Skyspy/Skybomber to my land.
In very surprising news, Christians are now the most oppressed religion in the world. I’d guess that’s because all the places that really hate the Jews have either killed them all or driven them out.
Enough of the endy, let’s get to the funny. There are just so many today you’d better take a big sip of your coffee now. I’ll wait.
My preferred pronouns are: chim, chimself, cher, cherself, che, chi.
She’s a cat trapped in a human’s body.
Seriously, I would love to go back to 1958 and try to explain this century. You know they’d all say, “See? We told you Rock and Roll would destroy America!” and I wouldn’t be able to argue. I mean, look at what it did to the 80s?
Harvey at IMAO channels his inner Joe Biden (I figure by repeated blows to the head), and continues Slo Joe’s Field and Stream interview. What makes it either very fucking funny or not funny at all is that it’s hard to tell Harvey’s post from the Field and Stream interview.
JOE BIDEN: Well, that’s true Joe. And, you know I keep hearing this malarkey about how Barack and I want to take your guns away and, frankly, I don’t know how this stuff gets started. Listen to me! Listen to what I say here! No one, I mean no one is coming to take your guns! People, get real here!
LIBERAL INTERVIEWER: So then, what exactly are you and the president calling for?
JOE BIDEN: What Barack is proposing has nothing to do with the Second Amendment. And, let me say this again! No one is coming to take your guns. All we’re proposing is just much needed, common sense legislation that will make it a federal offense for a private citizen to own a firearm.
The city is so short of cars that they are handling out “rentals” to detectives and to sergeants working VRI! Chevy Impalas with NO emergency equipment.
With this comment making me laugh, but many of the comments are awesome.
Yes it is true, in the D unit anyway. We have a car with some BS lights but no siren. It would make a lot more sense to give the bosses the “non police” rental cars and trickle down their unmarkeds to us. That will never happen though because they’ve “earned” their take home police cars!!
I can understand why they’re short on cop cars, I saw this high-speed pursuit on, I think, Foxnews the other day where they wrecked like hundreds of cop cars chasing two guys in black suits.
I mentioned “tits”, so you know what that means! Pictures of titlarks below the fold! Just don’t tell cher, che might come and eat them.
There really is nobody to root for in Yemen, al Quaeda in Yemen, allegedly, we don’t know for sure, that’s what the murderous, Yemeni dictatorship calls anybody they don’t like) blew up a truck bomb.
But check this quote
A suicide car bomb driven by a suspected Al-Qaeda militant on Monday rammed into a building in south Yemen used by pro-government militiamen
So pretty much jihadi v jihadi.
Crush at Blackfive (link added) writes about China allegedly getting all frisky in the South China Sea says the quote that Americans used to understand as we learned it the hard way (WWII)
But whether or not China starts World War III, let’s at least realize that toothless, corrupt treaties are no replacement for naval superiority.
Yup. Too bad we have to keep relearning hard-earned lessons.
Unfortunately, we talk loudly and keep our big sticks in Norfolk. Right now we have 4 nukular aircraft carriers in Norfolk. (Plus the Enterprise that’s being retired).
Noting that Azerbaijan currently meets 40% of Israel’s demands on energy resources, the ambassador underscored the importance of high-level official visits in terms of further deepening the existing relations.
No seriously, I would have figured that being an eastern European country, they’d be all about Teh Jew Hating. You learn something new every day.
Obama is done trying to work with Republicans in 2013 and 2014. He is abandoning any real effort for bipartisan immigration, gun, or energy reform.
Bwahahahahahahhahahahaha. Cuz I Won has worked so well with everybody up to now. I mean, it’s not as if the Dems rammed a reordering of 1/6th of our economy using some stupid Senate trick.
I had a go-round with someone here about “needing” a gun where I said that I refuse to explain why I need anything. I understand I don’t use the right words, I know them, I just don’t like using them.
Steven den Beste, at Ace’s, explains it better than I do.
I can’t have anything unless I can prove I need it? Since when? So now is it the case that everything which isn’t provably necessary is instead forbidden?
Bingo, bango, bongo.
One of the things that cracks me up is two people looking at the same thing, saying the same thing yet meaning exactly the opposite. Robert Reich talking about Tea Party types.
Imagine a plot to undermine the government of the United States, to destroy much of its capacity to do the public’s business, and to sow distrust among the population.
Well yeah, that’s the whole fucking point, but he says it like it’s a bad thing.
For the last 30 years or a little longer NYS has been discussing making gambling legal in some upstate counties.
They were shooting for, I think, Ulster County.
There was a Friar who allegedly said there was Tuck ed an alleged Inn allegedly in alleged Ulster County that, allegedly according to alleged rumors I’ve heard from alleged people who allegedly saw it first hand (“you’ll see stuff, remember, you didn’t see nothing” allegedly), was allegedly mob-owned and allegedly already had the alleged tables and alleged rooms for alleged gambling and were allegedly in use but the pols just kept allegedly not making it legal.
Allegedly. This all stopped happening a long time ago, shortly after the Catskill Game Farm closed. Allegedly.
I always figured alleged mobsters in alleged Atlantic City or maybe certain alleged Indian tribes allegedly out-bribed the alleged mobsters who were allegedly trying to get gambling in Ulster County. That’s usually the way to bet in NYS politics. Allegedly.
So the owner of Aqeduct, which apparently isn’t just a horse track but has some gambling that’s not full blown casino stuff, finally figured that the outside mobsters bribes were too large is going to spend his money building a casino in Vegas.
The operator of the Aqueduct gambling parlor is going to roll the dice in Vegas.
Not content with waiting for New York State to legalize Vegas-style casinos, Malaysian-based Genting announced today its building a multi-billion dollar, full-fledged casino resort complex on the Vegas strip.
If I were her, that’s what I would do all day too.
Not sure why I bother posting anything after that, but what the hell.
Actually, this is an easy post, if I piss people off nobody will notice, not even the 4 people who actually read the posts.
First, let’s go to EUnuchstan.
Last week we saw the EUnuchs saying the problem in the Middle East is them dam, dirty, Jews. This week they’re saying, “Sorry”.
No, not that they said that, that people found out they were saying that. That was only for upper-class EUnuchstanian Oligarchs to know about.
The EUnuchs are really not happy about Italy’s election and the hits keep hitting.
That article explains how the guy whose party’s platform is to not work with anybody is the new Mussolini! (fascism is based on ‘fasces”, bundles of sticks, i.e. working together).
The stand-up comedian Beppe Grillo, like the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini before him, has a craving to take over the piazza and mesmerise the crowd.
They then list a whole bunch of other ‘similarities’, but they leave out the most damning. They both speak Italian!
That story is absolutely correct about everything.
Check that. It’s only correct in the spelling of his name. For instance, they call it the “Vaffa” Day Protests instead of the Vaffanculo Day Protests. Vaffa does not mean the same thing, they call them the “Fuck Off” protests instead of the “Fuck you up your ass” protest. Perhaps a subtle difference, but one anybody with an ass should be able to see.
That was what I had to weed my way through last week to find a story that didn’t make up obvious stuff.
During these elections, all that’s wrong with Italian politics in the last 20 years has finally caught up to us. The government’s relationship — and lack of communication — with the Italian people has led to an unprecedented height of pure electoral protest.
Yup. I just hope we can go the same route and not the route our social, moral, political and intellectual betters seem to be hell bent on going down.
This is the seqway from EUnuchstan to other continents! It’s like a segue, but phonetically spelled. The Italians are trying to do some furrin aid, but being Italians they’re not just giving money.
Italians teach locals in Burkina Faso both the recipe for pizza, and the formula for a successful small business.
As they say, buy a man a pizza and you feed him for a football game. Teach him how to make a pizza and drunks will try to give him money at 3 in the morning.
More Africa, This one is funny on a few levels. As we know, Egyptians are pretty much just protesting everything, here we have soccer fans protesting John Kerry leaving their country.
Hundreds of Egyptian football fans blocked a main road to Cairo’s international airport on Sunday, forcing a delay in visiting US Secretary of State John Kerry’s departure
You’d think they’d protest him entering the country plus, I can only assume that Kerry, being French and a eunuch, would like soccer. Eh, they’re happy so that’s all that matters.
What continent is Lebanon on? Asia, right? Well, whatever, it’s a transitional spot so let’s go there.
Sunni Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir expressed his willingness to militarily protect himself and his followers from Hezbollah members allegedly stationed near his Sidon mosque.
It’s a good time for that, what with Hezbollah sending so many of their terrorist north to aid Assad kill Syrians.
I’d bet Mossad is watching and I gotta figure they’re helping, when jihadi fights jihadi, Israel is happy.
Iran’s in Asia right? So let’s continue our way across that continent. That article is about the players in some Iranian, faux-election that allows EUnuchs and John Effin Kerry (BIRM) to pretend they’re elected.
It’s not all that important, in other words, I’m just linking to it because of their continued use of “Right wing”, they do it for a few candidates.
Saeed Jalili
His name was mentioned as a potential right-wing candidate,
WTF does that mean? Is he for lower taxes and decreasing the size of gov’t or is he Hitler or is he not close enough to Hitler? I figure it just means, “He’s bad”, so another example of exporting our values! Right wingers=Bad.
Now I understand I have very little idea how economics works (I have to take the dollar signs off to make change), but China is a shithole country that would be even shittier without foreign exchange.
We can survive without them, we’ll just have to buy toys that don’t kill our kids but at a higher price, they’ll have to sell their shitty, toxic, junk to each other.
While we’re boned economically, the rest of the world is exponentially more boned. Especially commie nations where they make up their numbers and nobody really has any idea what the fuck is going on. (See, Russia 1989).
That’s enough of THEY’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!, let’s try a little WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!
A little drudgetaposition.
TSA’s hiring freeze, sequestrially-caused, will increase lines for waiting to be groped.
TSA expands groping to RRs, roads, waterways, ports, the hallway between your bedroom and the bathroom, etc.
TSA related, they explain how what you saw in that video last week wasn’t what you saw. They were respectful and all you assholes saying otherwise are liars, you’d better arrive at the airport at least 36 hours ahead of your flight if they know who you are (and they do).
A week or two ago I talked about how it was good that two innocent people who were shot by bad guys didn’t have guns or there might have been a gun-fight. I thought I was joking.
A Florida high school student wrestled a loaded gun away from another teen (who was aiming at another studentV) on the bus ride home this week and was slapped with a suspension in return. (due to being involved in a gun-related incident V)
Tar, feathers, a rail and a few baseball bats seem required. Heinlein saved his worst vitriol for school boards but I never understood that until I was in my 30s. I went to Catholic School so they didn’t have school boards.
See? This is one of the reasons I get so fucking pissed off about “Standing“. I can’t sue the gov’t for saying they have the right to kill me with their RC air force, but Masshole pols are making sure that animal “rights” idjits can sue hunters and dog owners for hunting and dog owning.
Fuck. Eco-wackos can sue all and sundry over their religion, but I can’t sue the feds for saying they can kill me.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has customized its Predator drones, originally built for overseas military operations, to carry out at-home surveillance tasks that have civil libertarians worried: identifying civilians carrying guns and tracking their cell phones, government documents show.
So when you’re drone hunting….skeet shooting, turn off your phone and remove the battery. As for knowing I’m armed, well, it’s gonna find that out anyway.
Remember when I said that we weren’t going to see a budget just another continuing resolution that’s totally not a bloated budget full of earmarks?
The draft continuing resolution (CR) assumes the sequester, set to begin cutting government spending by $85 billion on Friday, is left in place, which conservatives see as a way to reduce deficits.
Looking better and better all the time (or rather, worse and worse).
Fuck.
High-fucking-larious. Obama’s job approval is going down! That’s super-duper important!!!!!!! There’s no way he’s going to be re-elected next Novem…..wait, that doesn’t mean shit.
He never cared about his popularity, he only cared about making his opponents look worse. Now he doesn’t even have to give a shit about that.
Some humor.The first one is anti-climatic.
Via Gateway Pundit, we see my favorite global warmmongering idjits.
The ones who so totally believe their religion that they go to the North or South Pole bringing extra sunscreen and a bathing suit(warning, unsafe, yellow-journalism, Minitrue sub-outlet at Wash Post).
So this tool went to Antarctica to highlight global worming and
British explorer Ranulph Fiennes on Monday pulled out of an expedition to cross Antarctica during the region’s winter after developing frostbite (emphasis mine V)
Global warmmongers really just are fucking clueless about reality.
Added later: isn’t Antarctica in the southern hemisphere? Isn’t it summer there when it’s winter here? So it’s summer there and not winter, right? I’d bet that whichever Winston Smith they had working on that article put that in to make it seem as if it’s supposed to be colder
I’ve been reading this guy off and on for years. He used to have a faux-commie blog that confused people so he moved to War Planner. It’s a cool blog on military stuff usually, here he goes for Teh Funny.
This asshole looked at my beer belly last night and sarcastically said, “Is that Corona or Bud?”
I said, “There’s a tap underneath; taste it and find out.”

I was talking to a girl in the bar last night. She said, “If you lost a few pounds, had a shave and got your hair cut, you’d look all right.”
I told her, “If I did that, I’d be talking to your friends over there instead of you.”
—-
I was telling a girl in the pub about my ability to guess what day a woman was born just by feeling her boobs.
“Really” she said, “Go on then…try.”
After about thirty seconds of fondling she began to lose patience and said.
“Come on, what day was I born”?
I said, “Yesterday.”
—-
I got caught taking a pee in the local swimming pool today.
The lifeguard shouted at me so loud, I nearly fell in.
(Why does it seem so much worse to be peeing like that instead of doing it while you’re in the pool?V)
—-
I went to the pub last night and saw a fat chick dancing on a table.
I said, “Nice legs.”
The girl giggled and said with a smile, “Do you really think so.”
I said “Definitely! Most tables would have collapsed by now. “
Have fun folks, but not too much fun, cuz the more fun we have the more likely WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!
In the 90s and 00s they sing about cough syrup (Flaming Homers), in the 70s they had different priorities.
Rush is the perfect metaphor for the musical transition from the 70s to the 80s. They went from this to Big Money in just 10 years. Sigh.
So let’s go tubin’!
I was going on about this a few years ago and I’ve been watching it to see what happens.
Headline and subhed.
America’s Red State Growth Corridors
Low-tax, energy-rich regions in the heartland charge ahead as economies on both coasts sing the blues.
The problem is that the leftist states are fucked and many of the rest are doing fine.
So instead of taking money from The Rich(tm) to give to their constituents, they’ll have to take money from the rich states to give to the poor states.
The interesting part will be that the rich states won’t be so easy to intimidate as the feds might think and somehow, I don’t see Texas being happy about paying for California’s welfare state.
I’ll tell you what, the old Chinese curse of “interesting times” is a good description, it’s very interesting to see what’s going to happen.
China’s “Stealth Frigate“, I just love the way commies and other murderous dictators always have to give their stuff names that make it sound as if it means something and the way western ‘journalists’ just accept it. It takes people like the Jawa Report to notice that the Iranians crappy p-shops are p-shops.
I’ve been practicing my repentance speech but somehow I don’t think He’s going to buy it cuz I keep smiling and laughing when I get to certain points, so this one scares me cuz it might be the sign of the endtimes. Why? Check out who I’m praising.
The Supreme Court is refusing to hear a case because the plaintiffs don’t have standing. Apparently, the govt’s claim of a right to listen to Americans on the phone without a warrant doesn’t mean Americans have standing to sue.
It was a 5-4 decision, the 4 saying “Americans do have standing to sue for violations of the 5th amendment” are Breyers, Sotomayor, Kagan and Ginsberg. I agree with the 4 people who I think have no idea what the Constitution actually says and I am furiously fucking angry at Scalia, Alito and even Clarence motherfucking Thomas, I was sure Thomas was in the dissent and he wasn’t .
Fuck. No, fuck. I don’t know which way it should be decided, but it surely should be fucking heard. The gov’t is saying more that every amendment doesn’t mean what it says. I wonder if those assholes will think I have standing when they start quartering troops in my house.
Nice Deb has vid of Chuckie Schumer doing what he does best, lying to your face with that smug fucking grin. “We’re not going to create a registration of firearms, but when we pass the law on universal background checks, we’ll create a database of the information.”
This is one of those “funny never” things that you have to laugh at. Recall that in NC if a black woman accuses white men of rape, they’re guilty. But if a white girl accuses the wrong people of rape, well, she needs to be expelled.
That’s another my favorite intertubes memes, how we have to read about bad stuff about Americans with the “proper” beliefs in furrin papers.
I’ll end on a touchy subject. It involves hot women whose fathers are in the military. You can help the hot daughters of friends of This Ain’t Hell to become Colts’ Cheerleaders.
So grab your…mouse and go look at This Ain’t Hell and then go vote. Seriously, that last link, is bery, bery good, but check the TAH link to see how you can help TAH while you’re helping yourself.
I’m not a big fan of conventional wisdom, I rarely believe it and it makes people act all smug.
So let’s see if I can accurately characterize some CWs. I’m all excited.
First, Chinese are very smart and they’ll beat us technologically.
Now, I am not going to argue whether or not Chinese people are smarter than whitey or not, I don’t care. I will say that communism has an affect on how it plays out. In a post about free speech under assaut, Michael Ledeen notes this.
Citizens and subjects of such places are not at all like Americans; they learn habits of mind and mouth that are quite different from ours. They learn to be silent about any subject that could arouse the displeasure of the thought police, and they learn to speak in code, using words to mean things very different from their dictionary meanings. If they are unhappy with their lot or see ways things could be improved, they don’t dare reveal their true feelings openly and explicitly.
That means they can’t think their way to new ideas, because creativity requires trial and error; it needs open criticism, it relishes the destruction of bad ideas.
Add in that if you do perform some bit of excellence, the commie higher than you will steal it and make your life hell for the sin of trying to be better than everybody else and you have a society that cannot do anything but attempt to steal stuff from America, and commies can’t even do that competently. Check out the Sabre and the MiG 15, the commie Russians stole the design from us and our jet still had a 10-1 kill ratio in Korea. Commies make shitty stuff.
Which leads us to this, according to Time (blog link, no linky for Minitrue outlets if I can help it) the Chinese are saying that their CW is that they’ll win their Short Victorious War against Japan in short order.
First, the troops that go into the battle must be well-trained, elite troops. Second, the troops must have precision strike capabilities. Once surface targets or air targets are chosen, the troops must be able to hit those targets immediately and precisely. Good planning also refers to accurately grasping the enemy’s situation, especially its operational (troop and ship) dispositions.
Yeah, because commies are always known for their precision and training. Cripes, I’d bet a dollar that Americans who own Sigs only fired more ammo at the range last year than the entire Chinese army. (That doesn’t count bullets shot at recalcitrant peasants, only training ammo). Commies think that giving a speech is more important than teaching them to shoot.
A few days ago I wrote a post about being bored saying something like, “Chinese commies being aggressive and acting all “What” while buying off the Dems to look the other way. I didn’t look too hard for the last part, because it’s what I think should be CW but our fine, lefty betters would rather we not know.
A four-year FBI investigation into the transfer of classified weapons technology to China and other countries from NASA’s Ames Research Center is being stonewalled by government officials,
In Chicago machine (and commie) politics it’s all about who you bribe.
Now, the CW, as breathlessly relayed by Minitrue, is that sequestration is going to KILL US ALL!!!!!!!!
The sequestration scares are the ultimate example of the Washington Wink-Wink: Politicos from both parties warn of imminent disaster if the federal budget is “cut” even though they know government spending will be higher in 2013 regardless if the sequestration “cuts” are implemented.
Eggs-fucking-zactly. The “cuts’ are actually just a minor slowing of the growth. Veeshir’s Veerless Vrediction on that? Another continuing spending $trillions resolution that’s totally not a budget, so those things aren’t earmarks and everybody can ignore the fact that it’s a bloated wet kiss to political operatives and hookers.
I have a shitload of links I wanted to do today, but maybe I’ll get bored later, so I’ll end on awesome instead of CW.
This is actually amusing on a few levels. Recall that a few weeks ago I wrote McCain a letter saying, “Don’t work with Obama to take my guns” and he replied with, “Thanks for writing, I intend to work with Obama to take your guns.”
So this woman, Rev Fullbright (obviously no relation to the scholarship) and her hubby moved to Wyoming and she wrote her representative a letter saying that they better stop that fracking and start taking away guns or she’s moving back whence she come!!!!!!!
So Hans Hunt who, looking at his picture, appears to be new to politics made a rookie mistake, he was honest.
Rev. Fulbright,
I’ll be blunt. If you don’t like the political atmosphere of Wyoming, then by all means, leave. We, who have been here a very long time (I am proudly 4th generation) are quite proud of our independent heritage. I don’t expect a “mass exodus” from our state just because we’re standing up for our rights. As to your comments on fracking, I would point out that you’re basing your statement on “dangers” that have not been scientifically founded or proved as of yet.
It offends me to no end when liberal out-of-staters such as yourself move into Wyoming, trying to get away from where they came from, and then pompously demand that Wyoming conform to their way of thinking. We are, and will continue to be, a state which stands a head above the rest in terms of economic security. Our ability to do that is, in large part, to our “live and let live” mentality when it comes to allowing economic development, and limiting government oversight. So, to conclude, if you’re so worried about what our legislature is working on, then go back home.
Sincerely,…
I’m working on a trade. Do you think Wyoming knows about McCain? Will I have to throw in Sheriff Joe or could I get away with just Babeu? (Joe’s minime). On the plus side, I finally put something in the GOP Win! category.
And the last, I love this, I’m pretty depressed I don’t have $650 in disposable cash laying around (my birthday is next mont….crap, I forgot we don’t have a fucking tip jar), but I know a bunch of you love sharp, pointy things.
Recall a couple, three years ago when everybody was all excited about the 1911 Knife, with 1911 grips it takes a 1911 mag in the handle.
Well guess what? They’re taking orders and supposedly shipping soon. (link added much later cuz I’m an idiot)
he 1911 Combat Survivor package includes the following:
1911 Combat Knife
Combat Master Sheath from SPEC-OPS
Extra 1911 mag.
Survivor clip: door of the compartment is a diamond hone for sharpening, a Leatherman Micro, magnesium and flint fire starter, needle for sewing, a length of synthetic sinew for snares, fishing, sewing, a bow string etc. and fish hooks. It has capacity for a .45 round and a flashlight is attached to the lanyard

My buddy has number 11, I’m so fucking jealous. He’s dropping the price and giving free shipping for the first hundred he says.
