Islamic hard-liners stormed a mosque in suburban Cairo, turning it into torture chamber for Christians who had been demonstrating against the ruling Muslim Brotherhood
Now we see why Christians are now the most oppressed religion, Muslims have killed or ejected all the Jews, now they’re working on Christians.
So as Syria is a nightmare, Egypt is becoming a nightmare and the Palestinians continue their rocket and mortar attacks on Israel, the AP knows who’s to blame. Do you really need me to tell you?
Recent photographs show workers in Saudi Arabia demolishing some of the oldest sections of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, London’s Independent reports.
Not even Press TV (official Iranian mouthpiece, like MSNBC but they show the other side sometimes) is covering it.
I’m not surprised the grievance mongers who bash the Israelis for planting olives on the 13th holiest site in Islam are quiet, but since it appears Syria is a heat-up of the war between Iran (Hezbollah, Assad) and Saudi Arabia (al Quaeda, various, other terrorists), I’d expect Iran to make some noises. Huh.
An Egyptian minister says direct flights in the form of charter flights will resume between Iran and Egypt within the coming weeks.
More jihadis for Egypt! Yay. Dudes probably kept blowing up when they had to make a connection. I know it usually pisses me off.
I didn’t have enough time for more overseas, I do have a bunch of hilarity in this one so just a couple, domestic, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! or at least GO TO THE GULAG!!!!
It seems awfully early in the election cycle to get people riled up on gay marriage, for both sides. I know the Supreme Court is taking it up, it’s going to be interesting.
From the I Used To Live There files, VA has a voter ID law. Racist! I mean, just cuz you need an ID for everything else it’s racist to require it for voting!
Kinda puts that threatening tweet at the Norks in perspective.
Cruz birthers are going to be a hoot. I mean, the mental contortions of making fun of Obama birthers while being a Cruz birther will be infuriatingly funny, which is not as good as funny but better than infuriating.
Via Jay we see unions acting like their fine, Wisconsin brothers. So some cops are letting good behavior prisoners out to do work, ala the guy from Shawshank, but he just has them do stuff around the town like painting the police station and shoveling walks. So the unions are all, “Hey! That’s union work!”, I guess their wives don’t make apple pies stuffed with hundred dollar bills.
But, as jay notes, there’s one problem.
The head of Arlington’s Housing Authority says, because of budget cuts, his agency would not have been able to hire the job out anyway.
Mudderpocking sonsomabatching iceholes.
Via the Jawas, Help a Brother Out. Dude’s selling his autographed picture of Jim Carrey to buy a gun. He’s up to $444 now, that’s pretty darn close to a Glock to scare good ole’ Jim. I’d love to see him get enough to buy the gun Mr Gabby Giffords was gonna buy. That would be funny.
Rush Limbaugh needs to get a fund going for buses to Mexico so the DHS can dump them and not pay for transportation back to Mexico. Airfare to the Europeans might be too expensive, but if we started a fund….
Ornithologists have reported that migratory birds coming from the south have turned back.
I picture Daffy Duck saying, “Fuck that.”
The swallows will be back in Capistrano next year. And you know it’s going to be caused by Global Worming!
Russian scientists are predicting an ice age based on the Sun not doing what it’s supposed to be doing. I don’t know if I believe it, we just don’t have a long enough baseline for how the Sun is supposed to act, but…
That might be better than an asteroid. It would be a targeted disaster. Leftist nitwits hardest hit, people with brains enough to go south out of the cold would have a good chance (Hello from sunny Arizona!).
Then the Mexicans will suddenly think a wall is a great thing as Abrams and Bradleys go strolling across the Sonoran desert and the Rio Grande.
Heavy snow, extremely rare for late March, virtually paralyzed traffic in Kyiv, and led to many international flights out of the city’s airports delayed and cancelled.
I wonder if Al Gore was in the neighborhood.
A week or two ago I had a story about how Britain Airstrip One investigated the assassination of one of Tsar Putin’s enemies in London and they hid the results (Ignorance is Strength!). Tsar Putin I shows his gratitude as only a Bond-Villain/KBG Agent/Tsar can.
Boris Berezovsky, the Russian oligarch who helped broker Vladimir Putin’s rise to the Kremlin’s top job only to become his fierce enemy, has been found dead at his home in Britain in unclear circumstances.
Eh, so does that mean Oceania is…has always been at war with Eurasia?
Via Samizdata, more Airstrip One news, some friend of O’Brien’s had this to say about their new restrictions on free speech, journalism and blogging.
Headline of the op-ed.
Press regulation: the royal charter deal is a move towards a better democracy
In the body
believe there is a need to totally re-evaluate the way we look at the relationship between the media and democracy. … I believe our developing concept of a duty of care should be extended to “a care” for our shared but fragile democratic values.
Freedom Is Slavery!
I was wrong, the Senate did pass a budget. It appears to be so full of poisoned pills that any Dem senator due for reelection next year voted against itand therefore, has no chance of being passed by the House so we still won’t have a budget.
I linked to Minitrue (The Hill) just for this quote though
Democrats had been dogged by criticism for failing to approve a budget resolution since 2009 and the vote removes that GOP talking point from the political scene.
Assholes. GOP talking point? That should be journalists’ talking point, you assholes pretend to be “impartial” even as you just root for your chosen side.
Fuck you.
Speaking of worrying about being reelected, we see these assholes are not worried and if people would pay attention they should be.
The list of 20 GOP senators who voted to fund Obamacare. Some of the usual suspects, Chambliss, Hatch, Collins. Some I”m surprised like Cornyn and Isakson, and one I’m utterly shocked isn’t there, Fucking McCain. Of course, he’s up for reelection and I’m hoping his primary isn’t pretty. One I’m confused about, is Murkewkskey an Independent?
Fuck you Mitch McConnell. You especially are a slimy piece of shit. I look forward to you voting yes on the Take Veeshir’s Guns bill you and Feinstein are figuring out now.
NCBA and the National Pork Producers Council are both furious with EPA for handing extremist groups illegally gathered data on farmers who operate confined animal feeding operations.
Motherfucking assholes are out of fucking control, they care not for laws, propriety or anything but advancing their religion.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) introduced an amendment that would prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty in order to uphold the Second Amendment. His amendment passed on a 53-46 vote.
It worked on Kyoto, but this bit of good paranoia from my favorite ‘stan (SondraKistan) is good, paranoiac reading.
This is the conclusion, you’ll have to actually make with the clicky to read the build-up (Hint: It has to do with the DHS buying all the ammo in America so the Police can’t get any)
Okay, that’s all for now, people. I want a report on my desk in the morning to include:
1. How this might lead to a federal “civilian defense force.”
2. How this might lead to federal licensing of civilian ammunition purchases.
3. How this accommodates enforcement of the proposed UN arms treaty without a need to actually ratify it.
Good paranoia just keeps spreading, no one, and I mean no one (most especially his allies), trusts Obama to even pay lip-service to the Constitution.
Wherein Veeshir agrees with Obama!
President Barack Obama says each of his proposed steps to reduce gun violence should get a vote in Congress _ even an assault weapons ban that both parties agree stands little chance at passing.
First, get this shit over with. Second, if it fails then good, if it passes, then good. We need the fucking showdown soon. Nickle and diming our rights away is pissing me off.
I do wonder why he said it in Jordan, is he trying to make jihadis understand he’s doing his best to disarm us for their attacks?
I cannot put anything, no matter how despicably murderous, past Mr Fast and Furious Benghazi.
Now, the hotassery, I believe this is the first actual sex show on DPUD!
It’s an interesting day, (insert smug recitation of Chinese curse thing) so let’s start with the most interesting.
Let’s start with a GIF from me to you.
We’ve all seen accusations flying at Syria over using chemical weapons, I take that with a grain of salt, but I have to say that they did it. Why?
“Terrorists fired rockets containing chemical materials on Khan al-Assal in Aleppo province, and preliminary information suggests 15 people were killed, mostly civilians,” the state news agency SANA and Syrian state television said.
He who smelt it, dealt it.
I could be wrong, but if jihadis had chemical weapons they would have used them on Israel long before now.
Now they’ve crossed the line that Obama done drew. (an artist’s conception, accurate until the last line)
In the 70s we saw the Arafish and his PLO terrorists start a civil war in Lebanon between Muslims and Christians, but they’ve cowed the Christians mostly so what’s a murderous group of religion of peacers to do?
Ayyad, the Shiite cleric, denied the accusation and said the men who beat the Sunni sheikhs were “uncontrollable” youth known for troublemaking.
Now it’s between Sunni and Shiite, just as Allah intended.
Now this is very interesting. Supposedly Cyprus is rescinding the “We’re gonna take your money” deal.
IMF head Christine Lagarde, speaking at a financial conference in Germany, added her voice to the chorus of backtracking.
I wonder, was it the riots or Tsar Putin I? I know which way I’m betting, and it ain’t on Teh Peepul, it is EUnuchstan after all.
Two “Fuck You Harry Reid” links.
First, he’s blaming the deaths of Marines in a training exercise on the Sequester. You know, fuck you Nevada. This man has said so many despicable things over the last 10 years that I no longer blame him, I blame the mother fucking assholes who vote for Mr. We’ve Lost The Iraq War. I saw this everywhere but on Drudge first.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned Monday that a failure to quickly finish up a 2013 stopgap spending bill could restrict the time that senators have to battle it out over the 2014 budget resolution later this week.
So once again we see the problems of not having a budget are causing them to not have a budget.
It’s like a vicious circle only it accuses me of being stupid.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has decided that a proposed assault weapons ban won’t be part of a gun control bill
You know they’re going to do the “sensible” gun laws (like universal background checks), McCain, Graham and the rest need to be able to say, “We got rid of the stupid bill and kept this sensible one.”
Fuck you. That’s all I have to say about that, I’m thinking more shit but I’m not ready to write that yet.
Speaking of common sense chains, via Bob Owens we see this bit of hilarity. The Connecticut governor has some proposed things that would have stopped that crazed shooter in CT.
There was also enough consensus among the commission members to recommend bans on high-capacity magazines and the possession, sale or transfer or guns — both military-style firearms and handguns — that are capable of firing more than 10 rounds of ammunition without reloading.
First, the guy stole the guns so no laws except one that mandates going back a thousand years or more and making it so nobody ever discovers gunpowder would have stopped that, as for the mag ban, he would have taken about 9 extra seconds to load two more mags.
It’s just CT pols dancing in the blood of children to make sure there are no citizens in CT, just subjects, but let’s look at the part that’s making me laugh.
mandating all its K-12 classrooms have doors that can be locked from the inside.
I feel for the teachers who leave the classroom and find it locked when they get back. Every substitute in CT is praying that shit don’t happen. Seriously, I predict at least once a day that some teacher is locked out. Then, CT pols will have to pass a law making it a felony to lock a classroom if there’s no shooter which will lead to…. hilarity!
Now this sucks, this really pisses me off. America has always had a “first to invent”, so if you thought something up first, you were the one who could get the patent, but now it’s “First to file”, so if someone finds out about your idea, they can patent it so long as they get there first and claim they invented. That’s fucked up. That’s very bad. That article is pretty good about patents if anybody’s interested.
There are many things that they could do to reform the patent system, the best would be to go back to when business methods were not patentable, I have never seen a business method patent that I thought deserved to be patented. Not a one, and I’ve looked at many thousands of class 705 patents. Most of them are intended only to sue other people.
Even worse, some of the shit that gets patented is ridiculous. There’s a patent for “Exercising Your Cat With A Laser Pointer” and another for “Swinging Side To Side On A Swing”. For instance, this person got a patent on milking a cow
. A method of milking an animal having at least two teats, the method comprising:
a stimulation phase in which at least one of the teats of the animal is stimulated; and
a milking phase in which the animal is milked;
wherein the method comprises:
applying a stimulation phase and a milking phase to one of the teats of the animal, and
applying substantially only a milking phase to at least one of the other teats of the animal.
Anybody who knows how to milk a cow will notice that they’ve patented how people have been milking cows since…. there have been cows.
Many, like that one, are not in 705, but they’re been patented because business method patents are legal (State St decision where a judge said, “That’s my decision, oh, and business method patents are legal now.”)
That is the Full Patent Attorney Employment Decision.
SondraK somehow got a picture from one of Bloomberg’s nightmare last night. Not sure how.
The senator (McCaskill V), who has complained about the TSA’s security techniques in the past, tweeted that she was selected for a pat-down and that the experience was not a pleasant one.
Awwwwwww. I feel for her. Rather, I feel for her getting felt up like the rest of us. Nobody likes a reach-around without being called the next day.
Fear and panic filled the streets of Reynosa on Sunday night as rival gunmen battled during a three-hour firefight that saw automatic weapons and grenades used.
Then they get to the funny.
Surprisingly, Mexican authorities were absent for most of the melee.
Two things, surprising to whom and which side did you think they’d come in on?
So the opposition in Venezuela is worrying the Thugs In Chief.
I think the word “nervous” best describes the reaction of Cabello and Maduro to the announcement of Henrique Capriles Radonski last night that he’s going to run against the usurper Maduro for the presidency.
Opposition candidate Henrique Capriles tried to register to run for president today but was blocked from entering the election board by Chavez-Maduro supporters.
Hmmm, getting your opponents out of the race via slimy means. Just like Obama!
Ed Miliband was hoping to sit down with David Cameron and Nick Clegg later on Tuesday or Wednesday to agree a historic new deal which would see newspapers regulated like the BBC.
But while Obama is thinking of ways to revive the stalled peace talks, Palestinian activists say they are planning a “warm” welcome for him when he visits Ramallah or any other Palestinian city in the West Bank.
One plan being discussed among Palestinian activists includes staging anti-US demonstrations in Palestinian cities, particularly outside the place Obama is scheduled to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
See, they’re big on putting bombs on women and children, so how does the Secret Service guarantee Obama’s safety? They can’t. So how does Obama handle the fact that his Partners For Peace (non-pashtun-boy-fucking-savages but still savage edition) are going to try to kill him? I figure he’ll cancel parts of his trip and blame it on Israel.
I mean, he’s going to blame all the bad stuff on Israel no matter what, it’s just what he’s going to do before doing it that’s confusing me.
“As I’ve said several times, the Syrian crisis has to be solved through a political compromise, as the situation resembles closely — and perhaps even more than — to that of Somalia a few years ago,”
No, it doesn’t. Somalia had nothing even resembling a strong, central gov’t. It’s been warlords for decades, so any comparison is just trying to give EUnuchs an excuse for not doing anything. “Don’t want another Mogadishu!” after all.
Nice Deb has a decent post about Republican congresscritters getting upset with Obama’s, “Let’s release criminals to prey on America just like my good friend Castro” deal with lots of links.
Most of the first hour was spent talking about ICE’s shocking and “bizarre” decision to release illegal immigrant prisoners:
Scaring us by releasing illegal immigrant criminals — “REALLY, Mr. President? Really?!” Kobach thundered.“This is a brazen abuse of power”, he said. “They crossed the line.”
“This is impeachment stuff!”
“You do not release dangerous criminals to make a point…”
Bwahahahaah, yes he does. Geez, this is the man who sold guns to Mexican cartels to gin up a “controversy” to take my guns. Pay attention!
Let’s see how they do. I figure nothing will come of this. Obama’s contempt for Congress probably exceeds mine. And that’s saying something.
I saw this story elsewhere, but I’m linking this story at the Fire Andrea Mitchell blog cuz.
Well, they did it. Colorado State Senate Democrats have spit out 5 gun control bills, which will limit citizens rights to their second amedmnednt. LArge magazine clips will now be banned, and limits gun ammunition magazines to 15 rounds. Also included in the Democrat gunn control jihad is a new background check requirement AND fee. Guns.com via KUSA-TV, has an updated list of what Colorado Democrats have done with their gun grab:
Now I have to wonder if Magpul wants an out-of-work patent examiner/teacher when they move to AZ.
Remember when Judicial Watch was going after Bush, Ashcroft and co. and they were “non-partisan”? Yeah, that’s going to change in a big way.
Judicial Watch announced today that it has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State seeking access to “all videos and photographs” depicting the Benghazi, Libya, Consulate between September 10 and September 13, 2012, the period leading up to, during, and immediately following the deadly attack that took the life of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Judicial Watch filed its lawsuit on February 25, 2013 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-00242)). This is one of three Benghazi FOIA lawsuits being pursued by Judicial Watch.
That’s against the 11-24th Commandments, Thou shalt not dis Obama! (repeated 14 times)
I liked Paul Ryan until he joined Romney and shut up. When your power is more important than your principles, I tend to not give a shit about you. I’m not sure how true this is, but for what it’s worth a complete Puppy Blender post.
UPDATE: Prof. Stephen Clark emails: “Ryan’s budget proposal is no more serious than the budget being fronted by Senate Democrats. Both are merely aspirational and entirely political. When will either party get serious? Probably not until the voting public makes a decision about what it wants. Until then, it will be CR’s and continued drift. Hard as it may be to believe, much less accept, an insufficient number of citizens believes that there is a problem requiring that they, as individuals, give up anything. Until then it will be circuses – anything to avoid discussions of finance. This is the true legacy of the Bernanke era.”
None of them are serious.
They can’t be, the can has been kicked so far down the road that picking it up will be nearly impossible without drastic actions that will cause the Takers who think they deserve my money to get pissed off (Dear DHS/War On Americans study group from the previous post, that’s a far more likely scenario for insurrection)
Jay at MArooned has a story that shows that you don’t need a gun, the police are there to help you!
So, let’s recap. This woman had an abusive husband. There had been repeated 911 calls regarding him and violent behavior. The call comes in, she can be heard pleading with another person, and yet this still isn’t given priority. Woman with a violent ex, repeated calls, no urgency relayed. Responding officers show up when they’re in the area nearly an hour later – and leave. Now, maybe she was still alive at that point. Maybe she was dead seconds after the call was completed.
See? She had a restraining order she needed to rely on and instead she got all violently defensive. It was her own fault for choosing that man. Listen, if you’re going to need a restraining order on a guy in the future, you probably shouldn’t date him. That’s just elementary.
Over 7,900 US personnel remain unaccounted for from the Korean War, and over 73,600 remain unaccounted for from World War II. If you are a relative of one of the individuals listed here (Korea) or listed here (World War II – critical need), please consider reading this link to see if you qualify to submit a mtDNA sample – and if you do qualify, please do so. By doing so, you may be able to help identify US remains that have been repatriated but not yet positively identified.
Everybody deserves a proper burial. That’s especially true for those who gave their all in the service of this nation.
Amen. That has to be hard on their relatives, not knowing is the worst kind of hell. (so maybe that part of the post should not be at This Ain’t Hell, but since you can see Hell from there, I’ll let them slide)
People make fun of me when I say this, but I think the only way we’re ever going to be able to provide good healthcare to all is when it’s done by machines and not people.
Such a scenario is becoming increasingly possible thanks to the developing field of medical robotics and the increasing use of robots in surgical procedures. By using robots, surgeons can perform complex operations more easily and precisely, and in a less invasive way that improves results for patients.
Your rights cannot require others to work for you as that’s slavery, but if we could get machines to handle it, that would make it possible for all to get good care.
Join other citizens as you report and find Gun Free Zones throughout the United States. Whether you want to shop in gun free zones as often as possible or avoid them altogether, this app will help you shop, play, and do business with like-minded people.
Yeah, and it helps people who like to take guns into gun-free zones where they’ll know they’re the only armed ones.
I think this one will be short on links, long on commentary, let’s find out!
Above the Post Update! (so Ignore that “First up” you’ll see later on)
Anybody see the show “Vikings” on the History Channel? Yes, they interrupted Pawn Stars to air a show about history, I was as surprised as anybody. It was actually decent. It’s a soap opera, but it’s with Vikings. Pretty cool. I hope it doesn’t go too soap opera-y because it was pretty good. Hot shield maiden, evil king, dreaming inventory/adventurer type. My only problem is that Viking women wear far too much clothing. That’s probably why it’s not on HBO or Skinemax.
Now, back to the post!
First up, we’ve all seen McCain getting all jealous that someone else is taking his “maverick” label, so he needed to quash that quickly. Well, Rand Paul fired back. It’s a minitrue link (the Hill), so there will be some hilarity.
“They think the whole world is a battlefield, including America, and that the laws of war should apply,”….
“I don’t think the laws of war apply to America,
Eggzactly.
Speaking of Obama’s Cox Skybomber Armada, via paco noticing moonbattery, we get this
It’s hilarious, until you think about it. Where’s Northwestern University again?
A Veeshir Vearless Vrediction for 2016: Jeb Bush or some similar spit in my eye is nominated, Rand Paul is boned by the establishment during the primary. He runs as a libertarian as GOPers explain we need to suck it up and vote for Jeb Bush-type. Rand Paul gets more votes as a libertarian than the GOP but lose to Hillary/First Worf ticket and all the post-mortems explain how it’s the fault of the unhelpful tea party types who refused to suck it up and vote for the less bad alternative.
Here’s one way they’ll attack him, figuring stuff out is hard, and Rand Paul makes an error I’m surprised someone who managed to be elected Senator would make, he mentions things that are not easily understood but are easily demagogued.
He mentioned some Lochner case that is not the crazy guy in AZ who shot a bunch of people including killing a judge (but he’s conservative so we don’t hear about him) and shot a congresscritter (who’s a Dem so we hear about her all the time). It has something to do with discrimination against women.
So lefties can demagogue him as hating wymyn, as you read this at Volokh where he seems to agree with Rand Paul, you’ll find your eyes drooping and your attention wandering as it’s full of inside Supreme Court stuff.
Rand Paul might be right, but that’s about the least important metric there is in politics today. What matters is that he hates wymyn.
He might do pretty well on the Libertarian ticket, if people like John Stewart can overcome their sucking of Democratic dick to notice he agrees with what they claim to believe. I mean, sure Stewart is on his side now, but there’s no election coming up. The proof is in the pudding. And until my balls are in the pudding, I’m not counting on shit.
Velly Funny. The sequester is making it so Obama’s constant golfing/vacationing is going to be bad optics. Poor Obama.
For Mr. Obama, the months ahead will be tricky. Few people object to a president taking some time to relax — to work out, play basketball, sit on a beach, go to dinner.
Seriously, you’d have to click through to get the full, “Leave Britney..Obama alone” vibe. I ain’t linking the NY Times though, I avoid fanboi pages when I can, especially considering how they bashed Bush when he took those vacations to his own home.
This is true for so many reasons it’s going to be hard to stick to just a couple.
Court Justice Anthony Kennedy said Wednesday that congressional lawmakers need to maintain the nation’s balance of power by being able to compromise, expressing concerns that the high court is increasingly the venue for deciding politically charged issues such as gay marriage, health care and immigration.
That’s cuz politicians like keeping wedge issues alive that are used for fundraising. It’s also because Minitrue always frames them to show that the Dems are sane and GOP is insane (and hates them some wymyn and minorities) but since the Dems are on the wrong side so far as America itself is concerned (whenever gay marriage goes to the polls it loses) they don’t want to vote for it.
Relatedly, leftists have discovered that it’s easier to convince a few people than it is to convince voters so their venue is lawfare.
What makes it interesting is that it’s Kennedy saying it, it’s often not 9 deciding, it’s him. What he had for breakfast or whether he got laid last night can decide whether the Constitution means one thing or something else.
Officials at NASA’s Langley Research Center permitted a contractor to hire a Chinese national affiliated with an organization designated by U.S. national security agencies as an “entity of concern,” and then allowed the individual access to classified information…
On the one hand, it’s NASA, they don’t do anything really important anymore, they just do Muslim outreach, on the other hand, they used to do important stuff so there might be some serious tech that this guy and the others they haven’t noticed yet have stolen. On the gripping hand, didn’t Clinton already sell them all the stuff NASA has anyway? They haven’t done anything new since the 90s, right?
My new, America First, Furriners Second format seems to be setting in. Here’s where I have the transition post, involving overseas and the US.
Turkey sent bin Laden’s brother in law to Jordan where we picked him up and he’s talking. First, thank you Turkey and Jordan, I would expect that from Jordan, but not from the budding jihadis in Turkey. Unless they’re the opposite sect of Islamic jihadis and are just trying to get rid of the competition. That’s actually the way to bet.
Thousands of low-ranking policemen on strike across Egypt on Thursday refused orders to work and protested what they claim is the politicization of the force in favor of the president’s Muslim Brotherhood party.
Wait, good news out of Egypt? That’s unexpected. Especially as I haven’t been ‘for’ a strike in a long time.
Back to the USA
Via Ninme, we get something that shows that today’s problems aren’t new, they’re just farther along the slider.
The only thing wrong with that vid is they really needed to highlight Daisy Mae some more.
Almost exactly 24 hours after the Kentucky freshman began his information-seeking filibuster against CIA nominee John O. Brennan, fellow Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham took to the Senate floor to denounce his demands and say he was doing a “disservice” to the debate on drones.
“I don’t think what happened yesterday was helpful to the American people,” said Mr. McCain, Republicans’ presidential nominee in 2008 — who topped Mr. Paul’s father, former Rep. Ron Paul, in that year’s primary.
No, seriously. Fuck you.
As for this
What we saw yesterday is going to give ammunition to those who say the rules of the Senate are being abused,” the Arizona Republican said
Fuck you. What we see from you today is being used by CNN to explain how Rand Paul is a doody-head who even Republicans hate. I was curious to see what CNN was saying about Rand Paul, they were talking about McCain and Graham.
Seriously, do you have to help Minitrue do their job?
I have to admit, I look forward to both the GOP and the Democratic party nominating Jeb Bush in 2016. We should just let them join the Dems to form the “We’re better than you” party.
NORTH Korea led by tyrant Kim Jong-un has sensationally vowed to launch a NUCLEAR attack on the USA.
Or maybe China wants to start WWIII. Personally I’d wait until our fine political betters finish fitting us for chains, but I’m not a murderous commie dictator so what do I know?
Coburn is trying to stop the bullshit, but you know it’ll get out of committee along party line votes and then McCain, Graham and the rest of the usual assholes will give them “bi-partisan” cover.
The proposal, known as a continuing resolution, passed by a 267-151 vote, with more than 50 Democrats joining most Republicans in supporting it.
See? No budget, just another continuing spending of $trillions that’s totally not a budget so those aren’t earmarks and it’s not a bloated piece of fuck you. It’s supposed to “soften” the effect of the sequestion.
For “soften” read, not even make the small reduction in the growth of the rate of increase.
Fuck. Is there some German word for being pissed off when you say “I told you so”?
They tell us not to worry that the Dow is truly down by 50 percent if you price it in gold.
Hmmmm, sort of takes the happy out of it, huh? Welcome to the 21st century.
That riot over the soccer hooligans in Port Said is still going on, and it’s getting worse. Egypt is about to “have to” institute all the emergency measures Mubarak instituted 20 years ago. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Friends of al Quaeda active in Syria! Yay! Actually, they’re taking ‘credit’ for some suicide bombings, who knows if they’re related. It’s still jihadi vs jihadi supporters/jihadis with Teh Peepul just waiting to see who gets to kill them.
Rebels take Syrian army’s artillery division in the town of Maariya near the Golan Heights, activists say
Recall that when Hama ‘rebelled’, the Dorktator’s father ringed it with artillery and leveled it, killing tens of thousands, how funny would it be if the rebels ringed Assad’s palace with artillery and leveled it?
Ibrahim jubilantly tweeted: “An explosion on a bus carrying Israelis in Burgas airport in Bulgaria on the Black Sea. Today is a very sweet day with a lot of very sweet news.”[...]
Ibrahim holds other repellent views as well. As a mob was attacking the United States embassy in Cairo on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11, pulling down the American flag and raising the flag of Al Qaeda, Ibrahim wrote on twitter: “Today is the anniversary of 9/11. May every year come with America burning.” Possibly fearing the consequences of her tweet, she deleted it a couple of hours later, but not before a screen shot was saved by an Egyptian activist.
That’s almost funny. What would make it hilarious would be if she wore a bomb vest when she accepted it.
This one is very fucking funny. It’s like those “Behead those who say Islam is violent” deals.
There have been angry scenes outside the headquarters of the tyre maker Goodyear in France, over a factory that is being closed down.
Staff clashed with police outside the offices near Paris as a workers’ committee held a series of meetings to discuss the closure of the Amiens factory in the north of the country.
Heh, so Goodyear is leaving because you assholes cannot be reasoned with so you go a-rioting? Fun-nee.
Police responded to his home on Feb. 12 and Feb. 13 after receiving complaints from his next-door neighbor that his loud laughs could be heard across the driveway.
The 42-year-old was charged with acting “in such a manner as to annoy, disturb, interfere with, obstruct, or be offensive to others.”
At his arraignment Tuesday, a judge declined to dismiss the charges.
Seriously? You know those things clowns use to smack each other that sound like dog toys? The ones NYS use make the same noise but they’re lead filled.
Via Arma Borealis, we see this bit of hilarity. So someone thought they saw a guy with a gun and everybody responded in a reasonable manner, they shut down that part of the state and told everybody to hide under their beds. Yawn. But this is what makes it so damn funny.
one of the officers involved in the response was apparently injured in an accidental shooting.
That’s the set-up, they didn’t find any evil gunman, here’s the punchline
Glickman said the lockdown went smoothly
That’s fucking hilarious, some idiot shot himself or another cop and the lockdown went smoothly?
I like Peyton Manning, he plays football, keeps his mouth shut and makes some funny commercials. I have no idea what drugs he does, which women he beats and what sort of animals he’s cruel to, so rare in today’s sports.
John Lilyea has a great link to him going on a USO tour. I won’t link the resultant link because it has an autoplay thing, I hate those.
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.
Now that I have your attention, let’s go to the boobs!
So a few years ago Tsar Putin I had a guy named Litvinenko killed in London using some sort of radioactive stuff in a needle. So the Brits decided to get tough and investigate it!
The results will stay secret. (Grauniad link, I had my choice of BBC, NY Times of the Grauniad, sorry).
Shit, those wimpy boobs in the Brit gov’t ar….damn that’s one fanfastic fucking gif up there.
Lest we think Britain is totally useless, check this out.
A GRANDAD whose house was pelted with stones by a schoolboy was NICKED and FINED after frogmarching him to his parents for a telling-off.
See? They’re not totally useless, they’re totally fucking useless!
No you idiots, all it does is illustrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that those Germans who claimed “I didn’t know!!!” were lying sacks of shit. Just like anybody with a brain already knew.
I have a hard time watching some war movies and not wishing we had perfected the bomb 2 years earlier. Especially in the Band of Brothers when they find the camp and Germans pretend they had no idea what was happening in that horrible place.
Brophy points to a section of the bill that defines a high-capacity magazine as one capable of accepting or — that can be readily converted — to accept more than 15 rounds or eight shotgun shells.
That’s just about every pump-action shotgun, you can put a mag extender on them so they’re illegal even without doing so.
So that’s why Biden was pushing double-barrels.
I know, I’m banging my chubby fists on the high-chair again, but….
Jonah Goldberg is upset they’re not inviting Christie to CPAC,
Oh, and he parroted the gun-control line and flip-flopped on accepting a federal bribe to accept Obamacare funding to expand Medicaid.
He thinks they need a big tent, stop being so strict about who they let in.
Yeah, that’s worked so well for the Church of England and the Catholic Church in America.
When your stock in trade is a belief system, it helps to actually FUCKING BELIEVE IN SOMETHING!
Sorry. I just get worked up. Added, I deleted “you assholes”, that was unnecessary. I was all worked up.
Heinlein always said that If “everybody knows” such-and-such, then it ain’t so, by at least ten thousand to one
Case in point. There aren’t more black men in prison than college.
I have to admit, I’ve always accepted that. It always embarrasses me when I forget that truism.
This one is funny on so many levels. 20 years after it could do any good, the state of Michigan is declaring Detroit a disaster area and taking over.
The quotes are what make it.
Mayor Dave Bing said Friday he does not favor an emergency manager to solve Detroit’s problems,
Wait, you mean a grifter is upset that he’s going to lose his source of graft? Color me pointing and laughing.
But wait, he demands his graft!
“There needs to be additional conversation with Lansing regarding their plan to move the city forward,” Bing said. “We have always said that we need help from Lansing to implement our initiatives such as public safety, transportation, lighting and others.
I’ll translate: Gimme, gimme, gimme.
I have to admit, I totally agree with this resident.
“I don’t think it’s right at all,”Angela Woodmere, 37, said Friday outside the Maccabees Building on Woodward. “We elected Detroit politicians and Snyder shouldn’t be dictating how they run the city.”
People get the gov’t they want, they voted for Henry Gondorff, they should keep him.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has decided to educate children about the dangers of toy-like bombs after militants allegedly targeted them recently with bombs disguised as candy, toys and even a string of ball-shaped explosives tied to a cricket bat.
Fucking savages. As for the Obama bit, it might not be the Taliban, but you know Obama would side with this set of boy-fucking savages just like he does with the Taliban.
So a hundred years ago some guy named Duchamp was at an art exhibit and he grabbed a urinal, signed it and put it on display. Some people are still doing it today. (Recall the janitor who “tidied up” a pile of garbage not realizing it was a million dollar pile of garbage). So the reviewer has this to say:
But it’s not going to come from repeating the same old tricks of 100 years ago. The urinal lovers now are the art establishment.
Hilariously true, but I laugh because I think of the haughty smugnitude you would get back from any Arteeeeest you said that to.
Cadets on the Brigade Energy and Environmental staff will introduce a new insignia to the Corps when they don their cadet uniforms this week. These cadet energy and environmental officers and noncommissioned officers, or E2Os, are tasked with leading the charge on initiatives related to recycling, energy and water conservation at the academy.
What does 4 up, 3 squiggly mean to you soldier? You’re pathetic sergeant!
The Silver Gore can’t be far behind. I swear, they’re just fucking with us now.
At first glance this looks awesome, but look closer.
Where the hell is the mine sweeper guy! Geez, they’re gonna be boned without him. Everybody knows the dinosaurs plant mines.
A massive spill at a Chivas plant has sent the smell of spirits flowing through a Scottish sewer
It should read Hundreds of people found in the sewers of Dumbarton, Scotland.
True Heroes! I so rarely get to use that category. There are only 4 of Doolittle’s Raider’s left alive.
There’s only one thing about that that doesn’t totally suck.
Years ago the President of Hennessy Company presented a bottle of 1896 vintage “Very Special Hennessy” cognac to General Jimmy Doolittle, in honor of his birth year and it was decided that the last two survivors would toast the fallen with it. Due to their advanced age it was decided that they would make the toast this year, before there were none left.
Another look at Italy? The hardest part about this story was weeding my way through Minitrue’s bullshit to get to what happened.
So I’ve been seeing people freaking out over Italy’s election. The funniest are all the people saying Berlusconi’s party and a comedian’s party are against “austerity”.
As I saw on some blog last week, what they’re calling “austerity” are current tax increases and a really sharp look at spending, no mention of cuts, just let’s look. That’s austerity the way Obama cut $2trillion off the deficit.
Wash Post (warning, yellow journalism/Minitrue link) are their usual even-handed selves.
Let’s meet the players!
Not in any order:
Berlusconi: billionaire playboy and perpetual criminal defendant who was all but counted out of Italian political life when a debt crisis forced his resignation in 2011, shocked the country Monday by shooting back into a position of influence. (nope, he surprised lefties who ignore reality V)
the comedian whose party won big, Beppo Grillo: What worries many of Italy’s more sober politicians and analysts is that the protest leader does not seem to be in favor of much. (Italy has no sober leaders and that’s exactly why he was elected, we’ll get there shortly V)
And now, our hero from the left-leaning party (read: To the left of the Green party): Pier Luigi Bersani, a mild-mannered former industry minister,
“The majority of Italians have clearly voted against the Brussels consensus. That is a damning indictment,” said Mats Persson from Open Europe.
Accurate cuz the majority of voters said that, but innacurate cuz of the low turnout. More on that.
Now, domestic and furrin Minitrue outlets keep saying Italy’s fucked because of this, but that story has a funny bit. The Euro went down when it happened but:
the yield spread of 10-year Italian bonds over German Bunds jumped 30 basis points to 290 in late trading.
That’s good, right? Higher yield means they earn more money, right?
I had a good link to the Financial Times but they have some copyright threat that says I can’t link or cut and paste unless I use their buttons. Pass. I think they were the ones who said Axelrod helped a leftist in the election (updated to make sense V), but since they’re assholes about links, here’s a link that talks about that.
(when I searched for that link I saw a Politico (pronounced Po-Lie-Ico) article that talked about him being ‘attacked’, how dare Italians get upset that Obama dispatched his peeps to get involved in their politics!?!?!?!?!?!?
But what none of those lying sacks of shit are fucking telling you is that that good old Beppo started the V-Day Protests.
For those not in the know, like me 20 minutes ago, the V is not vagina, victory or even vino, it’s Vaffanculo.
An aside, I’ve been using that word for a long time but I just thought about the “culo” (ass) part, now I have to ask an Italian if it means “up the ass” fucking.
Let’s hear from someone not violently opposed to anybody not a leftist sucker of Obama’s cock.
Apart from the having yet another election, discovering horsemeat in lasagne and preparing for a new Pope, one quarter of the voting population decided to show their political masters what a bloody nose looks by voting for a protest party set up by a comedian with a healthy disdain for all Politicians.
Yup. Most Italians didn’t even bother, it’s the lowest vote turnout since WWII.
Moar about Beppo Grillo
Started by the readers of his blog in despair at the endless corruption, power mongering and downright Mafia tactics that prevail, his movement is making only one demand. It will not form a coalition with any other party and actually does not want any power. Grillo himself has declared that the support for his movement,
Now first, look at his blog readers. I bet they click links and co…. ahhhh, nevermind.
But check that out, whodathunk Monty Brewster would win an election in Italy!!!!!!
Man, that’s the fucking awesome story of the day..week…month….year….decade…century..The Fucking Millennia bitches!
Read the link at “Fuck You Day Protests”, it’s fucking beautiful.
I say we go the same route with eddiebear.
Think of the Fuck You Day Protests!
Unrelated to this post update!
I emailed John at This Ain’t Hell (but you can see DPUD from there) about the Iranian Salute Guys and he responded with a picture that names all the players, I updated that post and wanted to bump it but I don’t know how so you’ll have to scroll down or click a link.
Let’s start with infuriating so we can have some fun later on.
Yesterday I was going to cut n’ past the SOTU and put a link into every lie he told. I hadn’t watched the speech or read Vodkapundit’s drunkblogging yet, but I knew it would be fulll of lies.
So I put the speech into a “new post” and started.
I got to this part and had to stop
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, fellow citizens:
You forgot the illegal aliens you lying sack of shit. Your party is proud of it, own it.
So instead, I’ll link this about his worst lie. Where he said obamacare was already reducing costs of, well, anything.
The worst part is that I bet he would pass any lie detector he would ever take, I bet he immediately believes whatever he says.
A little good news. Those guys think Iran is going to buy Nork nukular tech. So we have crappy p-shoppers buying nuke tech from Norks. Should make for some interesting explosions.
Two links on the cops’ execution of that cop-killing cop-psycho in California.
Gotta love this one. Brooklyn College had a “Let’s tell Terrorstan how much we love them!” event and some Jews showed up to present a differing viewpoint. Brooklyn College, being a college, understands that free speech is okay, so long as it’s only used when agreeing with your betters, so they were kicked out.
Now they’re suing, something about the First Amendment and freedom of speech and a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with America.
In more “Fuck the Jews” news, Human Rights Watch has an investigation into some actions Israel took to kill terrorists. Now, you know that they’ll find out the Jews aimed for the babies, but they usually allow Israel to respond. This time they have no time for that.
Because previous Israeli “operational debriefings” involving attacks were not conducted by trained military police investigators or dedicated to investigating alleged laws-of-war violations,
Get that? They don’t bother listening to the Jews cuz you just can’t trust them hooked-nose bastids.
I don’t feel like reading their bullshit (that’s a safe, Yourish link above), but you know they interviewed terrorists.
I will link them for one of their greatest hits. That was their demand to investigate the Massacre Of Jenin! where millions of Palestinian babies were killed!!!!!!!!!!! in a town of hundreds of thousands!!!! The Jews flew babies in just to murder them!!!!!
Turned out, the Israelis absolutely told the truth about what happened in Jenin and the terrorists in the PLO were lying through their teeth. You know, what always happens.
Rand Paul is my new hero, but that doesn’t make me any less infuriated/scared.
Seriously, he ran as someone who would fight the power, and he’s doing it.
The Kentucky Republican said he would do “whatever it takes” to block Brennan’s confirmation until he directly answers whether American citizens legally can be killed by drone strikes within U.S. borders.
Get it? The prospective CIA director is refusing to answer if Obama can use drones to kill me in America.
And that’s why I have my new “Who gives a shit? We’re fucking doomed” stance.
I mean, at least 78% of Americans should be freaking out about that but Minitrue is ignoring it as much as they can so nobody but the few tens of thousands who read righty blogs.(78% because 20-25% of people will usually go the opposite way of everybody else in a poll)
There should be hundreds of thousands of Americans protesting at every federal building everywhere in the fucking country.
The CIA director is refusing to say whether or not our God-President can have an RC plane kill me. The gov’t appears to be reserving the right to murder me. There’s no funny in that, just endy.
Missouri House Democrats have introduced an anti-gun bill which would …(ban) semi-automatic firearm possession:
I wish them luck.
In “Please don’t throw me in that briar patch’ news, we have Harry Reid begging Republicans to save Obama from his own stupidity.
Reid is daring the GOP to filibuster Hagel. Me? I want him approved. We really need to get to the down and dirty before Democrats take all our guns or Obama starts having his RC army kill us all.
Speaking of which, they have a new ‘combat’ medal for RC warfare and people who have won combat medals for actions that entailed that they leave the A/C and go out and get face to face with unfriendly strangers are not all that happy.
Now, I don’t have a dog in this fight in any way except I need the US military to keep people from killing me, but it seems out of bounds to give a ‘combat’ medal to someone who is not, in fact, in combat.
I do wonder one thing, do you get a Red, White and Blue cluster if you’ve killed an American citizen in America? That’s something that Obama would come up with.
Okay, this one pisses me off too. I mean, I understand our politicians and Minitrue “journalists” are far more important than I am, but Kanye West and one of those Kardashian things? Seriously? They should go to the back of the line, the Kardashian can hand out blow-jobs as we wait for the illiterate, undertrained, uneducated asshole to grope us while Kanye can just drunkenly harass some poor, little blond girl instead of being escorted around the line I have to stand on.
So not only does the TSA shit on the 5th amendment, they’re giving preferential treatment to the scum of our society.
You might want to click this link quickly because I think they’re shutting the intertubes down later on, this guy won and anything else would be anti-climactic.
Being good nerds, we all saw the link to the Lessons Learned from the Battle of Hoth, but Jay noticed something I did not. I usually avoid comments because really, every comment thread longer than 20 comments becomes exactly the same comment thread.
First comment
Have you even served with the Imperial forces? Sure it’s easy to take potshots from your military blog in some no-name star system while the fleet and its legions fight the rebel insurgents, but combined space/air/ground operations are a lot messier than any infographic could ever portray….
Then he gets funny, RTWT before they shut the ‘tubes down.
Jordan Viray wins the tubes! I wonder if we can talk Obama into making a class of that RC medal for intertubes commenters? I mean, it’s far more risky to comment on the ‘tubes than to sit in an air conditioned room, playing Nintendo.
