I’ve actually been too busy to birl the tubes, I was veeshired. I also changed the title, I always get that wrong.

Let’s start with some “Smirt Daplomacy” stuff.

Lebanese acting kinda scares as they laugh at Obama arming jihadis in Syria.

Great quote, you know they’re just shaking their heads and laughing/cringing.

The United States backed “the coalition’s vision for a tolerant, inclusive Syria that respects the rights of all Syrians.

After noting that the guy people trusted said, “I’m outta here”.

In Egypt, some more of that brillyents,

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?

This surprises me.

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.

I did notice this when I clicked.

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!!!!

This one’s confusing. Huckabee warning the GOP about gay marriage.This one’s about Dem senators going gaga for gay marriage.

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!

Via the Puppy Blender, Moe Lane notices Obama’s tool responding to a tweet from a fictitious congress-critter.

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.

Via Harvey we see this Ramirez comic.

RAMFNLclr-032513-buck-IBD-C.jpg.cms

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….

A little global warmmongering humor. Global worming is hitting Europe so hard,

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.

Last, and most freaky, via that guy who better hope he’s a lumberjack if he lives near the glaciers we get this bit of optic delusion.

Round The Tubes: Where Mah Funny At?

Man, the last couple days have just not been funny. I mean, it’s sort of funny watching McCain get all jealous about a new maverick getting his press, but the laughs have been few and far between.

Via Doug Ross’ always depressing Larwyn’s Lynx, we see this hilarity from Cruz, I was out until around 3pm (5 east coast time) and watched most of the rest, but I missed this.

And I’m pretty certain–for the record, I can confirm that no teleprompter was in front of the senator from Kentucky’s desk,” said Cruz, taking a shot at President Obama’s frequent use of Teleprompters. “Senator Rand Paul, Jimmy Stewart would be proud, sir.”

A shot across the bows of TOTUS.

The Puppy Blender notices something funny about the unemployment numbers, but he forgot the most important demographic

ANOTHER UPDATE: So, basically, the more likely you are to have voted for Obama, the more likely you are to still be unemployed:

WHITES: 6.8%…

BLACKS: 13.8%…

HISPANICS: 9.6%…

TEENAGERS: 25.1%…

The dead, they voted from him 100% and have 0% employment.

This is the part where I defend the Rev Jesse

Jesse Jackson Compares Hugo Chavez To Founding Fathers…

I agree, they’re all dead. Of course, I’m happy about his being dead, not so happy about the rest.

What the fuck is up with California? When last we looked they were $billions in the red and Gov Moonbeam was cutting a few $million.

The new cell phone program will offer “250 talk minutes and 250 text messages” per month to anyone making less than $14,702.

If they were hoping to make it crash and burn as soon as possible, I’d be with them, but they’re counting on Obama pulling their chestnuts out of the fire.

Lifeline is a federal program paid for by a tax on phone bills called the Universal Service Charge. Enrollment in the program has skyrocketed since free cell phones were offered. The FCC has estimated the program will cost $3.3 billion by 2014.

See? Obama doesn’t have enough money for kids to tour the White House but money for free cell phones? Got ya covered.

This one is fucked up. As we all know, Obama always sides against the democracy/republic (note: Not People’s Republic and definitely not Democratic People’s Republic, he loves them), so now we see him sending a crony of Chavez to Chavez’ funeral

President Obama is sending a lawmaker whose relationship with Hugo Chavez has come under scrutiny in the past to represent the United States at the Venezuelan strongman’s funeral on Friday.

The only way I read that is Obama’s letting whoever takes over Chavez’ thugocracy know he’s got their back.

I’m torn on this one, there was one Dem who helped Rand Paul in his filibuster that has McCain’s Depends in a bunch and this guy says (Here’s the info, you decide what you want to do)

So, I would like to encourage my conservative friends to take a little time out from the Paul-a-palooza and show a little love for the sassy Senator from Oregon, perhaps thanking him for having some backbone. His contact information:

Senator Ron Wyden’s Website: http://www.wyden.senate.gov/
Contact Wyden email page: http://www.wyden.senate.gov/contact
Washington, DC Office: 221 Dirksen Senate Office Bldg., Washington, D.C., 20510
tel: (202) 224-5244
fax: (202) 228-2717

Me? I’m not fer it. He wants to hang out with people like Nancy Pelosi that’s his fucking problem. Why would me saying “attaboy” do any good? And why should I give him an attaboy for having the courage to want the president to explain if he can kill me? The worst part? That was ballsy, and that’s a whole nother can of shit.

A proponent of one of Colorado’s gun grabbing bills says

“I don’t know how on earth they can draw a casual relationship… I make no assertion that this bill will either increase or reduce violent crime. That is not the premise of the bill… I suppose more knowledge is better than less.”

Well duh. It’s about controlling free people. Trying to control criminals is hard, they don’t follow the laws.

Let Eric explain, he does it pretty well. In a long post about illegal aliens destroying the environment he writes about college students doing the same thing in Ann Arbor

Sure, there are laws against littering and dumping, but like most laws, such laws are for the law abiding. I don’t need a law to “deter” me from throwing my kitchen garbage in the street, so such laws are lost on me. Of course, for the kind of people who do throw their trash in the street, the laws are equally useless, for they are as undeterred as they are undeterrable. Moreover, the police tend not to enforce littering laws against the littering classes. It’s a question of priorities; police don’t want to squander time on “quality of life” issues. Not when there are plenty of opportunities to raise revenue ticketing affluent citizens going too fast on their way to work. The latter are much easier to deal with, and can be depended on to pay the fines that are the lifeblood of the system. This is easy to understand if you put yourself in the position of a cop. Who would you rather deal with? An affluent speeder who will take the ticket and drive away, or a bottom feeder who is unwilling even to toss his garbage into the nearest trash can and who might give you lice?

Perzactly. For those who think I overthink stuff, read Eric’s site. He’s the master of making connections that don’t look all that connected until he’s done.

US out of  Afghanistan!

We can confirm that one ISAF-contracted civilian died when three individuals wearing Afghan National Security Forces uniforms and driving an ANSF vehicle forced their way on base and turned their weapons against International Security Assistance Force service members and civilians today in eastern Afghanistan. All three individuals were killed during the engagement and the area has been secured by ISAF and ANSF. Afghan and coalition officials are looking into the circumstances of this incident.

Fuck the boy fucking savgages. I’ll tell you the “circumstances”, those fucking boy-fucking savages like killing Americans. I say we tell them we’re leaving, have some SF guys make a few house calls then drop a bunch of MOABs around the place, including both sides of the Afghanistan/Pakistan border and let them know they really don’t want us coming back, cuz next time we won’t be landing, we’ll just send B-52s, A-10s, AC-130s and Apaches. Have a nice day.

I’ve been seeing this article since early in the Aughts, the Sun is refusing to do what solar scientists think it should be doing.

Sunspot numbers are well below their values from 2011, and strong solar flares have been infrequent,’ the space agency says.

The image above shows the Earth-facing surface of the Sun on February 28, 2013, as observed by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.

It observed just a few small sunspots on an otherwise clean face, which is usually riddled with many spots during peak solar activity.

But the Sun is still quiet, and that’s why global worming is “suspended”, not because Gaia stepped out for a beer.

This makes me laugh.

Experts have been baffled by the apparent lack of activity – with many wondering if NASA simply got it wrong.

The hell you say! James Hansen’s group getting the Sun wrong?!?!?!?! Will Wonders Never Cease?

Why, next you’ll be saying that Global Worming will not cause the Earth to Explode! (hilarious PDF warning)

The heat generated inside our planet is predominantly of radionic (nuclear) origin. Hence, Earth in
its entirety can be considered a slow nuclear reactor with its solid ”inner core” providing a major contribution to the total energy output. Since radionic heat is generated in the entire volume and cooling can only occur at the surface, the highest temperature inside Earth occurs at the center of the inner core. Overheating the center of the inner core reactor due to the so-called greenhouse effect on the surface of Earth may cause a meltdown condition, an enrichment of nuclear fuel and a gigantic atomic explosion.

You have to admire the mind that thought that one up. My only question is, was it for real or did Steamboat McGoo slip one in on them?

I said the penis is almost free-floating. It’s got a tendon that connects to its middle, which helps to swivel it forwards when it pops out. Its base is also attached to the hip bone by a pair of large ligaments, that are “the consistency of the big rubber bands the post office uses,” says Kelly.

“Gotta nuke something” posts first.

Brunei, fucking Brunei, is the chair of ASEAN this year and they’re bearding China in their den.

Brunei will pursue a binding code of conduct among competing South China Sea claimants as a top priority during its ASEAN chairmanship, officials said Monday.

 

So I guess having a feckless American president is causing others to stand up.  Of course, they need America to stand up for them when push comes to commie invasion.

Which leads to this, Obama’s been selling stuff to non-commies so

The key strategic aim of the “pivot”, experts contend, is to contain China’s maritime assertiveness and protect freedom of navigation in the Western Pacific, a global artery for trade and energy transportation. Yet the US’s strategic re-focus on Asia has paradoxically not only strengthened the hands of Chinese hawks calling for a more muscular counter-strategy but also emboldened the US’s regional partners, namely Japan, Philippines, and Vietnam, to push their claims more aggressively.

 

 

I have high hopes, but I’m just not sure if I trust that Obama fellow. Every time he’s been involved in an international dispute, from Honduras to Iran to Great Britain and more, he’s sided with the commies. but apparently at least some non-commies and non-Chinese commies think they can trust him.

Still, I’m not sure if I’d place my country’s future in Obama’s hands, especially as we see it heating up.

I had other possible nuke things going on, but I’m no longer in the mood so on to Le Ha Ha.

I love this one. I’m a little embarrassed it was commie Chinese and not good, old, American rednecks who came up with it though. We’re falling behind in the crazy use of weapons department.

Organisers of an ice festival in China’s northern Jilin province thought they were being clever by inviting tourists to use live chickens as shooting targets. Instead, it has sparked controversy and anger when people across the country learned about the cruel game.

The photos, published by major newspapers including The People’s Daily, showed people shooting arrows at live childrens at an ice park. In one photo, a chicken is seen struggling after being shot with two arrows.

 

Sputter. I mean, I love it, but did any of the people involved with this stop and say, “You know, maybe this isn’t such a good idea.”?

This is kind of a brutal, endy sort of Ha-Ha but since I’m happy when terrorists torture and kill each other instead of me, I’m calling this a win.

Then there are the prisons run by the armed opposition, filled with partisans of the Syrian regime. Inside these walls, people accused of committing crimes are being tortured and liquidated by their captors in the armed opposition.

 

In their own torture centers. That’s gosh darned endy and funny. I mean, I know they’re jihadis who are just grabbing anybody they don’t like, but at least some of them must be actual Syrian agents.

Another that’s not funny. But it is.

A 31-year-old Bronx man fell to his death yesterday while defecating between subway cars on a moving 6 train, cops said.

 

Is it wrong to hope he had a goatee, was wearing a vest and a vintage Quisp t-shirt?

 

And for the big finale, my very favorite type of Ha-Ha, global warmmongering ha-has.

Freezing weather with light snow flurries greeted about 200 climate activists gathered on the steps of the state Capitol noon Monday to demand the state Legislature get serious about climate change.

Just cuz the endy is getting worse doesn’t mean Gaia stopped hating Al Gore.

If you have any doubts at all as to why having strong, effective vaccines administered to as many people as possible is a moral imperative, read this post at Lifenut to clear them up.  Fortunately, this isn’t one of the worst cases – Gretchen’s kid is on the mend.  Imagine how much cheaper this would have been, both from a financial and an emotional standpoint, if the anti-vax twits weren’t influencing the ignorant to allow diseases like pertussis to rise again.

Before you start screeching that Gretchen wouldn’t have this problem if she’d had her son vaccinated, read the whole thing – her son had an adverse reaction to the vaccination as a baby, and wasn’t vaccinated again.  This is why herd immunity is so so important to establish, both for the people among us who can’t be vaccinated, and for the infants who are too young to be vaccinated.

(I didn’t include the obvious profanity in the title because Lifenut is a family-friendly blog and I don’t know if trackbacks show up in the comments.  The author is a longtime commenter at the HQ, but if you go over there try to be civil, you fucking hooligans.)

No evidence of PMS?

Either these are the least observant individuals on the earth, or I need to meet some of these Canadian chicks.

U-Toronto Professor Gillian Einstein (-Yes, her name is Einstein. [insert joke here]):

“Our review—which shows no clear evidence that PMS exists—will be surprising to many people, including health professionals.”

Also surprised by the study – men.

This whole having-a-job thing has seriously cut into my seemingly pointless blogging habit.  Anywho…

Oh joy, The Black Death is back.  Bring out yer dead.

So we’re back to the “racism” thing again with criticism of Obama. I am simultaneously exasperated and amused.  The left is like a dog with a bone with this whole racism thing.

Cancel my subscription to the Jeb Bush Super-fan newsletter.  I actually don’t care that he rebuffed the Norquist pledge, but don’t invoke Reagan’s name to slam conservatives.  Not cool.  Bad Jeb!

Apparently the Obamacare IPAB is worse than I thought from a constitutionality perspective.

I hate to disagree with Jimmy P’s call to break up the banks, but I don’t think that ultimately solves the problem.  I’d be much more inclined to address the problem from a capitalization/leverage standpoint.

Permabull Larry Kudlow wonders whether we’re in (another) global recession. Oh boy. (By the way, corporations aren’t hoarding as much cash as you think.)

I should have just gone into quantum physics.

So, a Pastor Charles Worley in North Carolina (yes, the same North Carolina that some pastor advised that parents beat their kids if they “act gay” the other week) declared in his sermon and church that dem durn queers should be thrown in concentration camps, and carnsarnit, he don’t care if he done hurt nobody’s feelins.  HuffPo’s got a post which I’m not linking. because fuck HuffPo, and I’m seeing it a bit on Twitter, seems like if I posted about douche telling parents to beat their kids for “acting gay” I should probably make note of a guy who thinks we shouldbuild camps and extermeyate them goldanged queers!

Seriously, I’d tell him to heed Robert Downey Jr.’s advice in Tropic Thunder, but I don’t know that he’s capable, guy sounds like Larry the Cable Guy’s “special” cousin.  Listen to this ignorant, stupid fuck,

So I guess my next question is, you can’t really evoke Godwin’s Law if you’ve actually advocated for finding, rounding up and exterminating people in camps, can you?  Also, do they sing the Horst Wessel Lied instead of the Our Father at this church?   I must say, for one with his views, not the greatest dresser, maybe he should get in touch with Hugo Boss…

Also, LOL, he actually thinks that’d work, what a fucking tard.  I would’ve suggested he drinks Faygo too, but that’s gonna way too close to fag for Reichspastor Worley here, unless he’s another raging closet case who’ll get busted with a vial of meth and cock in his mouth within the year.

If I thought this numbnuts pastor posed a real threat, I’d take him a little more seriously.  I don’t have to because there are millions of us, myself included, who will have no problem picking up a rifle to make sure such madness never occurs on American soil.  I have a lot of friends and family the pastor apparently wants to exterminate.  I have a slight problem with this.

If anyone wants to know why I oppose gun control and support the NRA, I give you Exhibit A.

As an aside, the pastor needs go to DC, visit the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, and see what he’s actually advocating for, and hopefully realize how fucking evil he’s being here.  Doubly so since he has the luxury of walking the earth with survivors.

People are getting more insane by the day.

I can’t wait for the entire left coast to collectively start praying to the porcelain god thanks to their hatred of plastic bags.  Maybe they’ll come to their senses and realize that, like injection drug needles and latex gloves, some things are better left disposed after pathogens have leaked/sprayed all over them.

I considered posting a video of some slow-motion vomiting but I decided to save that for when I’m posting about Obama.

Updated to add: bestest irony ever is in one of the linked stories:

“You could wash the bag,” Schaffner said. “Or you could start over with a new bag.“
