Now, among certain people (teabagging racists and the like, mostly) this has caused a bit of a stir. Again, I’ll let Ms. Harris-Perry tell you about it:
The trolls have been really busy the past two weeks calling me disgusting, evil & communist. #MustBeDoingSomethingRight
— Melissa Harris-Perry (@MHarrisPerry) April 6, 2013
It’s nice to see that she’s not letting the critics get her down. That said, in spite of the fact that we should really be taking a hard look at notions of collective responsibility in this age of Shared Sacrifice™ there are some people who bitterly cling to their progeny even tighter than their guns or their religion. (See, again, racist teabaggers).
So I would like to propose that we start with something a tad less controversial. Namely, the bathroom. Specifically, her bathroom. Hear me out…
Melissa Harris-Perry has never invested as much in public restrooms as she should have because Melissa Harris-Perry has always had this notion that her bathroom belongs to her. She hasn’t had this collective notion that “This is our bathroom.” So, part of it is, she has to break through this notion that her bathroom belongs to her, or belongs to her family, and recognize that the bathroom belongs to the whole community. Once it’s the whole community’s responsibility, and not just the household’s, then she starts making better investments.
So there you go, Melissa. The ball is in your court. Oh, and we’re out of toilet paper, the crapper is clogged, the mirror is covered in graffiti, someone stole the taps from the sink, and there are a bunch of used condoms and needles in the corner.
A place for me to hide. All I’m finding are places to hide from what with the wars and the murdering and the GLAVIN.
Sigh.
The Falklands is voting on a referendum on war between Britain and Argentina, I think.
Residents of the Falkland Islands vote on Sunday in a sovereignty referendum aimed at countering Argentina’s increasingly assertive claim over the British-ruled territory.
The government’s mishandling of Argentina’s economy has hit new highs recently with the implementation of price controls on food. It is a notoriously ineffective policy that tends to create shortages and spawns black markets.
You know Argentina is going to need an external enemy really soon and the Jews are too remote so the Brits it is.I know war isn’t funny, except when it is.
Think about it, there’s a very good chance we’ll have the first war in history where the two combatants cannot actually meet each other on a battlefield.
The Royal Navy isn’t what it used to be and what’s a starving, broke Argentinian military going to do? Knowing that Obama likes to fight both sides of a war, we could see America ferrying everybody to somewhere, maybe the Pampas would be good?, so they can have their war.
But maybe Argentina will think outside the box.
Venezuela is going to have an election next month between a guy who’d like to live in a free country and a guy who also wants to be free….to do whatever the fuck he wants. He is Chavez’ chosen successor.
So both Venezuela and Argentina are going to need an enemy, how about A Short War? This way, they’ll speak the same language.
How funny would it be if WWIII started in South America when the last two were mostly not fought anywhere near there? Well, except for a couple of sea battles.
The Egyptians are still rioting over the soccer hooligans, I didn’t realize Port Said was on the Suez Canal. It’s a good thing nothing important goes through that canal or there might be some problems from Obama’s foreign policy.
So fucking Karzai is blaming the US and the Taliban for not making nicey-nicey. Can we leave him to get killed yet?
Azerbaijan is interesting, they’re playing nicey with Jews and Iran is messing with them. How funny would it be if the Jews helped muslims fight against the Mad Mullahs? That would bring in Russia. So Obama could fight both sides of that war, by helping Israel and Iran. Seriously, if WWIII breaks out before 2017, we’ll be fighting on both sides. That’ll be funny. You know, until we nuke ourselves to teach us a lesson.
Actually, that’ll still be funny. Just not funny-funny.
A few days ago I wrote about some UN Peacekeepers who were taken hostage in Syria, I figured they were dead as the UN is feckless. I was right and wrong, so I have to admit this makes me laugh. And it’s a good laugh.
They were freed
Twenty-one United Nations peacekeepers were welcomed in Jordan when they were freed after being held by rebels for three days in Southern Syria.
But the UN was feckless.
as a request to the Red Cross and the United Nations to accept the hostages was turned down. It’s believed neither organisation recognises the Martyrs of Yarmouk group of fighters.
How fucking funny is that? They were freed due to the kindness of jihadis even as the UN said, “No thanks.”
Syrian rebels staged a surprise dawn attack on Sunday against the key district of Baba Amr in the central city of Homs, a year after regime forces retook it after a deadly month-long siege.
The new battle for Baba Amr began as jihadist fighters in the oil-producing east said they had established religious committees to administer the area’s policing, judiciary and emergency services.
Good. When Jihadi fights jihadi supporters Veeshir smiles. Knowing Israel, you know they’re supplying intelligence to both sides. It’s like the dog convincing wolves that coyotes taste better than sheep.
This is when I normaly seg my ue from furriners to the US, but I don’t have a story for that. So I’ll link this bit of funny that’s not at all funny.
It’s a story about how the hometowns of Hitler and Stalin are facing their legacies.
The Austrian town (could someone ask Obama how to say “Hitler” in Austrian?) where Hitler was born is trying to forget it, they rent out the house to keep it from becoming a neo-nazi shrine. This is a nice touch,
Until 2011, the house was used as a day-care centre for disabled people.
Heh.
But in Georgia, they’re are taking a different tack.
For years, the main boulevard, Stalin Street, was dominated by a huge statue of Stalin.
But in 2010, it was taken down by the pro-Western government of Mikhail Saakashvili, much to the dismay of many in Gori.
But thats’ not the end of the story.
A few weeks ago, Gori city council, now run by Georgian Dream, allocated funds to re-erect the statue.
It will not be returned to Stalin Street, but will be put in Gori’s main tourist attraction, the Stalin museum, which is still a shrine to the dictator and scarcely touched since it was built in 1957.
After being invaded by Russia they’re making nicey with Russia, funny how that worked out.
Actually, I do have a segway, from Mordor to America!Via the Jawas, we see this.
It’s up and down, but when they said, “Brokeback Mt Doom”, I LOLed I did. And I don’t LOL very often.
Let’s go to Fuck You America!, the best part? It’s people who speak English so we don’t have to rely on imperfect translations.
Nannarch Bloomberg‘s comments about shelters made me laugh. No, not the bit about people flying their private jets in and taking a limo to the homeless shelters because he signed a law saying a anybody can get a bed. Law, meet unintended consequences.
Mayor Bloomberg yesterday put his foot in his mouth by suggesting homeless shelters are bursting at the seams because anyone can get a bed — even the filthy rich.
I bet a dollar it’s not the filthy rich, I bet it’s the children of the filthy rich. The Occutards.
A little bit of America saying fuck you back. The NYS boycott is up to 119. Yay!
Among the tactics apparently used by at least part of the Obama administration is to make the public as annoyed with the results of the sequester cuts as possible, if a leaked e-mail message from the Department of Agriculture is to be believed. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service official Charles Brown told his department’s employees, in an internal e-mail obtained by the Washington Times, that “We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that ‘APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs.’ So it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be.”
Make it hurt until he gets what he wants. We have a president who wants to hurt the productive class to make them want to give more to the non-productive class. That sucks.
And yet it’s legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines.
She’s saying people should have a sporting chance! It should be legal to hunt humans only with low-capacity mags!
And you people thought I was too paranoid worrying about the Cox Skybombers.
In, I Expected Better From You news, Neil Boortz is acting surprised Obama is ignoring his petition. Jeez, it was blatantly obvious from day one this was a sign of contempt from Obama, “Here, this’ll make the rubes happy”.
We’ve featured some unusual fashions here over the years, but I’m not sure whether I should be drooling or nauseous from this insane creation – the bacon dress.
I can hear the cop saying, “So the man ripped your dress off and ran away cackling?” and then the local SWAT team surrounds MPs house and he won’t come out until he’s done eating.
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.
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.
Saved from being an 80s tune by just a few months, I think of them as one of the transition bands. Some good stuff but then they got all glammy and meaningless. You know, like the whole 80s, non-Billy Joel/Aerosmith music scene.
The head of Armalite is saying, “Well, we don’t like what the gov’t is doing to take your guns, but I was a cop so we’re selling guns to cops that we can’t sell to you. Cuz they need them and you’re nothing.” (not an exact translation, but semantically equivalent).
They’d better hope lots of the cops they think are better than I am want those guns, cuz I’m going to make sure that anybody who’s interested in any AR platform will not buy Armalite.
My problem isn’t that they’ll continue to sell to people like NYS gov’t, it’s the letter where he makes sure you know that cops are better than you and the slimy way he says, “We won’t sell to police depts but only to individual officers”, which sales will have to go through the police dept because private individuals in NY can’t buy that gun. So it’s a slimy, “Here, this should shut them moh-rons up.”
This one is very interesting. We’ve seen that link of Bloomberg saying no 2-liters with pizza delivery, but it also restricts soda pitchers for tables of children and a whole shitload more.
Typically, a pizzeria charges $3 for a 2-liter bottle of Coke. …six 12-ounce cans at a total cost of $7.50 to get an equivalent amount of soda…..
He said the smaller bottles will generate more revenue for the restaurant but cost consumers more.
It will also trash more plastic into the environment…..
Spending $300 on a bottle of vodka no longer entitles you to a full complement of mixers.
Before Bloomberg mostly jerked them around and cost more for smokes, but so few people smoke and he created a market for cig smuggling, so it wasn’t as big a deal.
But that right there will fuck everybody in NYC. Every pizzeria in NY has a “large pie, wings and 2 liter soda deal”, all those deals are gone, birthday parties just went up probably nearly double in cost, kids drink a lot more soda than eat pizza and it jerks around all the cool Manhattanites who go to the ultra cool night-spots and buy booze and get complimentary mixers.
So they’re pissing off parents of young children, everybody who orders a large pie, wings and 2-liters deal (which is….everybody), hipsters and everybody who makes tips because the customer is going to pissed and take it off the tip.
I wonder if NYCers will find the balls they so smugly think they have. Eh, probably not. They’ll whine a little and go back to feeling superior.
The reason I’m wondering if they might find their balls (against my better judgement) is this.
Headline
British Media Declare All-Out War On Green Energy Lobby
With a bunch of articles showing that the Brit media is noticing that while green science is neither, it is very fucking expensive. Good for them.
which stated they intended to ‘eviscerate, mitigate, litigate, cogitate, and agitate’ the North Carolina Republican leadership.
No, that doesn’t piss me off. This does.
Blueprint is an ACORN-afiliated group, and its list of partners represents the core of the American far left. Since their dirty little secret was revealed, the organization has disavowed the memo.
First, I was just wondering what ACORN was calling itself this year (they need $billions but some people seem to think that a Democratic front group shouldn’t be getting taxpayer money for vote-fraud for some reason so they need to change their name every now and then).
Also, have the courage of your convictions. getting rid of a bunch of establishment GOPers would be helpful.
Oh well.
Obama’s friend, Farrakhan, wants to help Obama get his Citizen-Army rolling. They’re in Chicago so I don’t have to worry that much. If Obama wants to import a bunch of Chicago street thugs to Arizona, well, coyotes and buzzards gotta eat too.
I have a problem today, 2 feel-good stories to end on. It’s like the end of a Star Trek episode when both Bones and Spock get a chuckler.
First, Wyatt links a story about a football player partying, standard fare, but what makes this so newsworthy is that there were no rapes, shootings, or slapping some bitches around!
Geez, it’s like Gronkowski just doesn’t get it. What’s the point of being rich, famous and good at a game if you don’t commit felonies?
Now the hopeful story of the day.
We all know SMOD missed us but the EU was working on a back-up plan where they were going to hit an asteroid to see if they could change its trajectory. Well, they’ve chosen the asteroid they’re to try to hit like the 8 ball in the Earth pocket. The best part about their choice?
Didymos is actually a binary system, in which a 2,625-foot-wide (800 meters) asteroid and a 490-foot (150 m) space rock orbit each other. Didymos poses no threat to Earth
See? They found a pair of asteroids, thereby maximizing the chance of a hit.
We’ve gone round and round so much I think we can almost call it a revolution!
Wow! Whodathunk the Beatles are the Voice of Reason?
Let’s seem some unreason. (irreason? illreason? prognosticationreason?)
This guy seems to think only the right people are allowed rights. As California is working on taking guns away from the hoi polloi, this sheriff is making sure people who give him money get their guns.
But there is another group that seems to have better luck than most in obtaining permits: friends of Lee Baca. Those who’ve given the sheriff gifts or donated to his campaign are disproportionately represented on the roster of permit holders.
A Milwaukee County Sheriff has warned that a second American Revolution may be sparked if unconstitutional gun laws are enforced by police and sheriff’s department officials.
Now, I’ve been talking about good paranoia, people becoming afraid of their gov’t, and noticing it more and more, it’s popping up in the weirdest places.
Sure sounds to me like a government hell-bent on making sure they can beat a society back down if there is unrest.
I’m trying to figure out at which point I am supposed to feel safer.
When they tighten the shackles so you can’t hurt yourself.
Okay, I saw this at Say Uncle’s and didn’t realize exactly how fucking scary it is until Bob Owens (who is very fucking paranoid) fleshed it out some more.
Apparently, the DHS agrees on the chances for revolution so they’re not just buying billions of rounds of ammo to prepare, check this fucking scary ass shit out.
It’s the full line of DHS’ “No More Hesitation” targets so they can get used to shooting people you wouldn’t normally think of as threats. Who? Pregnant women, old men and other Americans who the DHS might feel the need to blow away.
Holy fucking shit. They’re making it so DHS people won’t hesitate to shoot a teenage girl with a toddler on a playground. Holy fucking shit.
Important update:
I started wondering about this, I trust Bob Owens and Say Uncle, but I didn’t go to the source. Here’s an update from the above link.
UPDATE: LETargets, which can be contacted at 888-489-7830 to verify the authenticity of these products. The salesperson I spoke with said the page has been pulled, but they are continuing to sell these targets. When asked what their purpose was, she nervously didn’t want to answer and pointed me to a spokesperson, Laren Helms, who has yet to return my call. Also, they seem unwilling to indicate whether federal agencies like DHS or the DOJ have purchased these particular targets. This may be due to privacy reasons, though it is tax payer money and this is not a national security issue.
LeTargets website. I’m trying to find stuff on their site but apparently their server is “too busy”.
You can see a long list of federal agencies they supply, DHS is not there but ATF, ICE and others, which is what you would expect if they freaked out and pulled the DHS page. I’ll update if I see anything.
That link shows they used to claim they sold to DHS, so I’m saying, “True!”
You make the call! Now, back to the post!
Now personally, I’d think there’s like a 1 in 865 trillion chance that a federal agent would need to open fire on a teenage girl surrounded by children on a playground, so pardon me if that scares me fucking shitless.
Check out the whole line, it’s the opposite of the jihadi/zombie targets Americans would buy, it’s more like the targets zombies and jihadis would buy before going on a killing spree.
I would suggest one thing to them, if they think they need to start shooting teenage girls on a playground, they might want to add Marines, Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors to their list of targets, cuz I have a feeling some of those people might have something to say about the whole, “Federal agents shooting teenage girls and toddlers” thing if it gets widespread.
Also notice the misspelling in there, “dipicting”, “childred” “highligting”, I worked for the federal gov’t for nearly 12 years and every, single, email or printed notice I got was rife with misspellings. Just a pet peeve. They misspelled “patent” sometimes and I worked for the Patent Office.
All the links in this post were meant to be in the last post but I felt they deserved their own post.
They’re actually the ones that I thought would make your heart go pit-a-pat. Sorry for the confusion.
I’ll end on what should have been the feel-good story of the day but unfortunately, we can’t have fun things in Puritan America.
What’s a boy’s 16th birthday party without strippers and lap dances?
What indeed? So the Mom of the Year decided to have a cumming out party.
The story starts out good enough, but then they get to the puritan part.
A New York mother has been charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child after she allegedly hired two strippers to perform lap dances on the guests at her son’s 16th birthday party.
Sonomabatch, she should be getting a mug that says, “World’s Greatest Mom” and instead she’s getting a striped jumpsuit.
Bastards! And how do you get 5 counts when you only had 2 strippers? Sonomabatch.
And lest you think we’re not important here at DPUD, I’ll have you know we are 187 out of the top 200 conservative websites. I have no idea who that is, but he puts us one in front of the Emperor. I would just like to say we were not asked any retribution/slash exiling should be directed… not at us.
So what’s happening in the nets today, Wednesday something in February? Death, destruction and hilarity.
In domestic news, Charlottesville, VA said that they would not allow drone flights in their city. Me? I’m proud of VA, my former state, (my current state is inebriation), but I figure that’ll be the minority. Which brings us to my plan.
Now, we all know if you have a picture of yourself shooting a gun, you go “skeet shooting all the time” and what’s a drone but a fast moving skeet? So all you need is the picture!
I do not suggest you p-shop your face and arms into that pic to prove you skeet all the time if you’ve shot down a drone.
As for the drones, don’t forget, the faster they move the more you have to lead them.
The scaringestly funniest link of uhhhh…. this second (I forgot how funny it is out there) someone else in favor of sending guns and money (keep the lawyers) notices the Wash Post talking about how we all need universal ids.
an effective solution would be to issue tamper-proof, biometric ID cards — using fingerprints or a comparably unique identifier — to all citizens and legal residents
And lest you think that we will require them for everything we do, I’ve assembled a partial list of what they’ll be required for and not.
They will be required for (partial list): Driving a car, renting a car, buying a car, buying any goods, getting Internet service, getting electricity hooked up, all services and utilities, air travel, boat travel, train travel, bus travel, automobile travel (passenger), going through security at airports and all gov’t facilities, when talking to any gov’ t official, when paying taxes, when being arrested, when being released from jail……
They will not be required for ( full list)Voting, running for President.
See? They’ll only be required for the stuff you would expect.
My only hope is that Rand Paul gets involved and slips an amendment in that requires any gov’ t official asking for this to say, “Your papers please!” in a German accent. At least we’ll get some humor out of our newest chains.
So I promised some real hilarity. Remember when we are, so understand it’s fucking hilarious, except it’s not. It would be great for an Airplane! movie but this isn’t fiction. A Cook County judge was facing battery charges but won re-election anyway. In any normal end of civilization, that would have been funny enough. But we are in the now. It gets better.
So Good News! She was found “not guilty”, so why is that so scaringly funny?
A Democratic Party-backed judge who won re-election in November while facing battery charges was found not guilty Monday — by reason of insanity.
Now, in a regularly funny end of civilization that would be the punchline, but not here, not now.
The insanity verdict could aid the judge’s effort to return to the bench.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahaha. Snort. I can’t figure out what the hell is going to happen in Chicago, but I just don’t see how one city can absorb so much idiocy and corruption. One or the other would be containable, but both together at such extremes? It’s gonna be ugly and it’s gonna be fucking hilarious. (via the Jawas).
This is interesting. Lebanon has something going on where people are demanding civil unions. Now at first I thought, Holy Shit! You mean homerseckshuls are actually admitting they’re gay in a Muslim country and demanding rights? How brave! But it’s not gay civil marriage, it’s marriages not performed by a religious institution. They’re all performed by religious. I don’t know how most Lebanese feel, but you know how our fine, tolerant, coexistical Muslim brethren feel.
Lebanon’s highest Sunni religious authority has condemned the idea in stronger terms, issuing a religious edict (or fatwa) that called any Sunni Muslim with a civil marriage an apostate (a crime punishable by death according to the religion’s rules).
Natch.
Achmadinejihad gave an interview where he said that Iran had nukes, they didn’t actually want to use them on Israel, and then a bunch of stuff that probably sounded much better in the original German.
He reiterated that the Zionists were trying to take over the foci of power and wealth throughout the world.
Then went on to talk about Jews were getting ready to attack Iran and they might have to defend themselves.
I love listening to jihadi nitwits talk. They use the language our fine lefty betters prefer (all about “dialogue” and “peace process” and shit), but they’re still saying “I keel you all!”
Above we have Charlottesville (southwestern VA) saying “No Drones For You!”, while in northern VA we have this.
A 10-year-old Alexandria boy was arrested after police said he brought a toy handgun to school on Tuesday, a day after he showed it to others on a school bus.
…
n Monday, the boy showed the plastic gun to at least one other student during a bus ride home from the school. The 10-year-old did not point it at anyone or threaten to shoot it, but he neglected to mention that the weapon was fake,
Holy shit. He was fucking arrested. Fucking arrested. Fucking arrested. I’d better stop writing about this before I get intemperate.
FUCKING ARRESTED!
In less inf.. fucking arrested!!!! FUCKING ARRESTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, in less infuriating and good paranoia news we have Doug Ross thinking like the WND article from the other day. He links: The gov’t buying billions of rounds of ammo, drone flights in the US, the FBI director not answering the question about assassinating US citizens in the US, the DHS listing people like me as terrorists (people who think the Constitution means something), military exercises in Miami and fucking Houston, the various police forces in the US getting armored cars (not tanks, sorry), humvees and drones and ties them all together with a huge, Obama civilian army bow. Very good paranoia.
Now let’s just get some endy, China has been getting very aggressive in the South China Sea, there’s oil in them thar deeps and China wants it but Japan, Vietnam, Philippines and SoKo are none too pleased but China is a vicious, murderous, commie dictatorship so they’re pushing hard.
Japan on Tuesday accused Chinese navy vessels of locking a weapons-targeting radar on a Japanese destroyer and helicopter amid escalating territorial disputes between the Asian powers.
I will say that I’d bet on Japan for sure. Commies think “Quantity has a quality all its own”, bzzzzzt. Wrong answer. China has crappy, 20 year old Russian commie shit, refurbished by shitty commie Chinese workers. They’ll stuff like the Kursk-class Fast Attack Sub/One-Way-Deep-Sea-Exploration-Vehicle/Radioactive-Burial-Vault and a crappy Russian aircraft carrier. Say those words again, Russian Aircraft Carrier. Built by worker who couldn’t care any less, refurbished by Chinese commie workers who couldn’t care any less. I think they’re naming it the “Tied Up For Repairs” Class.
And those two stellar warships/targets/tombs will be going up against the State-Of-The-Art Pikachu class fast attack sub and the Hello Kitty class aircraft carrier.
Hmmm, that’s a good pool now that I think about it. Where will the next world war start? Iran, Syria, Israel, Egypt, the Arabian peninsula, the Caucasus, Armenia, the South China Sea, between Russia and China or somewhere else? Kind of like a World Dead Pool.
Which also led me to think of something last night when I saw this article, Japan is the Panda of the Asian people.
This is totally not a “round the tubes” post. I already did one of those today.
FrnakJ would win “Quote of the Day if I let him in the contest, but I won’t cuz he’d win every day.
So lax gun laws in other states than Illinois cause gun violence in Chicago but not in the states with the lax gun laws.
Heh. He’s consistently made me laugh for 9 years. But don’t tell him. He’ll get a big head.
What with the problems in their global warmmongering, (Mann, hockey stick, lying sacks of shit, etc.) Penn State must have moved some global warmmongering ‘scientists’ over to their astronomy dept.
We all know the “Goldilocks Zone” (GZ) in astrogeometristics means the zone that’s ‘just right’ for life. In other words, the distance from a star where a planet could conceivably support life. We only know of one planet, currently, that supports life so we used to base the GZ on Earth’s orbit. That was the ignorant ‘before’, we’re in the glorious ‘now’ so we have super-genius global warmmongers on the job.
the Penn State team suggests… farther away planets into the fold of life-sustaining planets, a… it also kicks some planets out of the hunt for life as too hot — including, oddly enough, our very own Earth,
Brilliant! You’d think one of them might look at that and say, “Uh, guys…..” You’d be wrong.
So why do I say it’s global warmmongers?
Clouds are just one factor that neither definition of the zone takes into account,
Neither do any global warmmongering models, and that’s why nothing they do is useful. They just can’t figure out how to model clouds (neither can I, but I admit it), so they just ignore them. It’s Ostrich Science.
Seriously, it always make me laugh to think of going back to 1970 and trying to explain 2013. The crackpots living in the mountains waiting for the Russkies to invade because the US gov’t invited them would think I was a paranoid loon.
Speaking of which, assuming there are around 250 million adults in America, does anybody really think that there aren’t 249,999,999 people more fit for that job than Hagel? You know who this helps? That’s right, Joe Biden. He’s number 249,999,999. He’s coming up smelling like…not shit!
Okay, this is heartening. Chicago and Boston have always been uber-corrupt but well run. They both had the biggest necessity for any, effective, political machine, a top-down hierarchy where the top tries to make sure Teh Peepul are happy. As we’ve seen in Boston, that might crumbling in Chicago . The fall of the Kennedys and the $billions in Big Dig money made insurrection thinkable in Boston.
Now we see something funnier in Chicago.
How, in the city of Chicago where the Democrat Machine is so strong, could there be 17 Democrat candidates vying for one open seat? It could hardly be imagined under the iron rule of former Mayor Daley.
How indeed. What we’re seeing is people who want power, but think power means you tell people what to do and you know more than anybody else. Rahm doesn’t understand what it takes to run a political machine, it’s like a mafia family but with more guns. Daley was raised and taught by his father who perfected Chicago’s political machine, and that was one of the most vicious but well run in the country.
The candidates run the gamut from completely clueless, yet dangerous in their ignorance to practiced Chicago pols like Alderman Beale and Robin Kelly,
Oh man am I rooting for the ignorantly dangerous. Chicago likes its politics and believes all the stupidities MSNBC spews out, let them actually live in that world. I picture people like Barbra Boxer or Maxine Waters, except even more stupid or they’d be in national politics instead of Chicago-city politics. They can pass a law mandating that all guns sold in Chicago have remote safeties that the police control or that they have smart bullets that don’t shoot people with police badges.
Chaos is the best outcome from stuff like that.
A perplexing note. I understand economics and stuff like that about as well as a duck knows Thursday.
DrewM has a post about funemployment going up .1% (going up, that’s the key point) and includes tweets from Ezra Klein (point and laugh) and the Wash Post (spit) where they claim that at that rate we’ll be at full employment in 2022.
Unemployment went up, if we follow that trend we’ll have full unemployment in 920 years. I don’t see how we can have full employment if we’re not creating enough jobs to actually lower employment.
I mean, I know Ezra Klein is an idiot, is that why DrewM posted those tweets? I hope so. If not, don’t explain it to me, I’d have to burn you as a witch.
This needs to be posted again, not because I like it, but because it’s so scarily true.
Just Fixin’ It
No links, just some uselessly late movie reviews.
Your Highness. Very funny. The only jarring note is the Hero Brother, they really needed someone much more Cary Elwes in that role.
Big Hand For The Little Lady. Old Henry Fonda movie with lots of people you’ll know. One of the very best endings in any movie I’ve ever seen. I watched it on a rainy day while my friend and I played Scrabble or something otherwise I wouldn’t have watched it. Great movie, great ending. A homesteader gets in a big money poker game, threatening to leave his son and wife destitute.
Gold Diggers. A 1933 movie about show business types in the Depression, it was on earlier. It’ was very timely and hilarious.
Flapper/actress, “He’s a genius!” about a singer/songwriter.
Director, “Hmmm, maybe show business could use a genius.”
Red with Helen Mirren, excellent movie. John Malkovich rocks and Bruce Willis is at his best. They hide it (not sure why) but the girl has nice breasts. They don’t hide Helen’s, which I applaud. They didn’t work in any tasteful topless scenes (I saw at least 4 chances with another chance for a light-petting, lezbo scene), but you take what you get.
Bubba Ho Tep, one of Bruce Campbell’s finest. Elvis got sick of performing, traded with an impersonator but kept the right to take it back then lost the papers so now he’s in a cheap nursing home about to be killed by a mummy. If you need any other endorsement, Lemur King doesn’t like it.
And last but not least, the hockey strike was over like 2 weeks ago, why didn’t anybody tell me? Are the Islanders mathematically eliminated yet?
