Relevant section begins 2:18. Hear Biden's answer to the personal, non-gotcha question? Good, because I get what he's saying. Not so easy for some of us who have no choice but to go to work or people who can't just yank their children out of school until all the danger has passed, but fair enough. Now see Gibbsy try to spin the answer - and watch the press howl in laughter.

Haha! What he MEANT to say was... Sir, that's not remotely what he said. This stuff is gold. Anytime Biden's in the picture it gets funny again - they should put HIM on everyday instead of the Teleprompter Jesus; at least it would all be fun to watch! h/t to Allahpundit and Ace

Now I also have this fabulous interview between Liz Cheney and that asshole "reporter" Norah Dumbass and Liz just shreds her. It's in three parts and they are all worth watching, but #1 contains the money shot - where Norah actually makes the argument that the reason we abide by the Geneva Convention (not relevant here since we didn't employ torture and these were non-uniformed enemy combatants whom it would have been perfectly legal to simply shoot in the field - except we benefited from the information) IS SO THAT WHEN OUR SOLDIERS ARE CAPTURED THEY WILL BE TREATED WELL. No, seriously, she said that. She even, I think, BELIEVES it. Apparently no one forced her to watch the beheading videos. And actually you're lucky if a beheading is all you get. Whatever, here's the embed; the other two parts follow - trust me it's worth it. Can we please get Liz on a ticket? I'll vote for her. Also, Norah Dumbass LIES through her teeth.

Finally, a funny take on "torture" since we're on the subject - gotta love Steven Crowder! Norah should see this one (it came out before the memos confirmed it all, too). Featuring Steven's Beheading - I wonder if that's anything like Stevie's Spanking.

Must-See Video

Haha! Raaaaaacist! New blog to read, yay! I have to try making some of those movies, but I doubt I can do it as good as he/she does :D

On a more serious note, I can't find any pictures of Air Force One buzzing downtown Manhattan. I saw some good footage but I don't see any stills, and looking up Air Force One Manhattan in google images just gets you sneaker pictures. I have some funny captions to put on but I need the pics. I know they're out there. Or stills from the video at least. Anyone know where?

How it Works

Or, hippie gets schooled. The free hug guy gets punked by a man in a "more cowbell" shirt. Classic.

H/T "I Hate the Media"!

Also, Earth Day predictions from the original Earth Day in 1970. Guess what they have in common? They were all dead wrong. Guess what they have in common with the predictions of 2009? They're the same exact predictions. Fear not the shadow horsemen; they are illusions. And they're always wrong.

Buzzing Terrorists - UPDATE!

It's a fine and fitting end to the almighty ONE! HUNDRED! DAYS!!!11!!ELEVENTYONE!! Apparently not satisfied with merely having terrorist friends and fellating terrorist foreign leaders, Obama seems to actually want to BE a terrorist. So long, it is assumed, that it doesn't interfere with manicures, having pizza flown in from LA, and keeping the heat up high enough to grow orchids in the winter. In order to get a photo op - they had several shots of the pretty plane (looks like Air Force 1 accompanied by a fighter jet) at the Statue of Liberty but, hey, those were prolly dirty Bush photos or somethin' (no, that makes no sense - he wasn't a camera whore and he was only 9 months in when 9/11 happened, so the photos were prolly Clinton era) or whatever the reason, he needed pretty new pictures of Air Force 1 lookalike and a fighter jet buzzing New York City. There was no warning, so the people panicked, many evacuated, and in fact, were terrorized. It's heartening to know that the new president comforts terrorist dictators and sends money to Hamas terrorists and worries about whether we were too hard on the terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed while deliberately causing terror in the hearts of American citizens. You think I'm exaggerating? Well I'm not.

Isn't that just special, does it warm the cockles of your heart? Cockles, I'm told, are small, limp cocks, like leftists have. So why was there no warning? Well they COULDN'T warn us, they explain. It just wouldn't have been smart. Much smarter to just terrify the people of the city to get a prettier picture. Photoshop would be just too boring, and if you use it you run the risk of having it end up on Photoshopdisasters so why take a chance, right?

But at least they had a good explanation, a backup plan for what to tell people about this, right? Didn't they? Well, let's see what the press guy says:

Oops. I will say one thing. Melissa McEwan, it really IS good to have the grownups in charge again, isn't it? LOL. I swear I'm going to try to remember to bring that up every time something THIS colossally childish happens.

Now riddle me this. With ALL the hay that was made of the video of Palin standing in front of the turkeys as they were being slaughtered (which I thought was pretty funny and at least didn't strike at people's deepest and most realistic fears or PTSD) do you think the media coverage of this abortion is going to be THROWN at us day and night like that was? Or is it going to remain a small, insignificant story, quickly swept under by the latest allegation they can think of against Republicans tomorrow (releasing some new memos or a new report or something - Clinton used to bomb aspirin factories, Obama has to think up other stuff so far. Like Buzzing New York LOL).

Oh, I checked out this mortgage help that's supposed to help struggling homeowners. You *might* be able to get your interest rate lowered if your mortgage is from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. You can also pay a couple grand for a lawyer to tell you you're screwed. Either way you are. What was it, 900 million to help people struggling with mortgages? Yeah, it's not going to help anyone do anything. My advice - which is pretty hard in this economy - take a second job and pay it. Scale back to the bare minimum lifestyle and sell off what you don't need. Of course, be ready to move if it doesn't work. The Messiah is not going to help you with your mortgage. That money is going nowhere except into the pockets of people who don't need it. All the gold foil is off the tin god.

UPDATE:

Federal officials knew that sending two fighter jets and Air Force One to buzz ground zero and Lady Liberty might set off nightmarish fears of a 9/11 replay, but they still ordered the photo-op kept secret from the public.

In a memo obtained by CBS 2 HD the Federal Aviation Administration's James Johnston said the agency was aware of "the possibility of public concern regarding DOD (Department of Defense) aircraft flying at low altitudes" in an around New York City. But they demanded total secrecy from the NYPD, the Secret Service, the FBI and even the mayor's office and threatened federal sanctions if the secret got out.

But at least Bloomberg's aide was reprimanded. Transparency. Fury. It's all here.

Could Have Been Yesterday...

Stephen McCarthy of Xtremely Un-PC and Unrepentant (blog link on the roll) tipped me off to this cartoon that's making the rounds. The faces have changed, but the truth hasn't. This could have been written yesterday. We've known it was coming - why haven't we stopped it in all this time? Why have we allowed ourselves to be boiled in the vat of creeping socialism all along? Only now to have the BIG GUNS released in one fell swoop? Intelligence agencies destroyed and now useless, nationalization of everything, impossible and outlandish spending...well read 'em and weep. Click to embiggen.

The text reads as follows:

The banner across the top reads: "Planned Economy Or Planned Destruction?"

The bottle in the fist of the college scholar shouting "Whoopee!" is labeled "Power." The sign below them reads: "Young Pinkies from Columbia and Harvard."

The sign at the back of the wagon, below the drawing of Wallace shoveling money out, reads: "Depleting the resources of the soundest government in the world."

To the right, Stalin says approvingly, "How Red the sunrise is getting!"

And the piece de resistance: To the left is Trotsky (where else would you expect to find Trotsky?) who says, "It worked in Russia!" And on the poster he's creating it reads: "PLAN OF ACTION FOR U.S. --- Spend! Spend! Spend under the guise of recovery - Bust the government - Blame the capitalists for the failure - Junk the Constitution and declare a dictatorship."

I'll leave you to consider what's going on and where we are headed with this. We've taken it slow but we're there now. The beast is loose in the streets of Nazareth, the rats are in the corn...and God knows what rough beast, its hour come 'round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born.

Too Thick, Too Fast

The news, she's coming too thick, too fast. None of us can keep up. Captain Entropy (otherwise known as Chairman Zero or "President Obama" to some) just keeps hurtling forward towards universal destruction - apologizing to the world for the United States instead of reminding them that without us they would not be able to live the lives they do. Calling us arrogant instead of celebrating our liberty (he doesn't care about liberty - have you ever even heard the man speak of liberty? I haven't. He certainly doesn't want a free populous; you can't enslave a free populace.)

Pelosi knew about waterboarding, she knew it was legal, she knew it had been approved for use, and she approved. Now she says "So, I knew about it, that doesn't mean I knew they would DO it. I just knew they said they COULD do it and that it was legal."

No one releases the information on how effective the advanced interrogations were and how they stopped further attacks that WERE going to take place on our own soil. Instead this is glossed over and we have brought ourselves to the point where another attack is absolutely inevitable - and is surely being planned out by operatives priorly released from Club Gitmo as we speak. How many lives will we pay this time?

See, this COULD have possibly been just as much of a travesty as the Carter administration - you know, the economic ruin, the misery index, gas rationing, double digit inflation, double digit unemployment, poverty, skyjackings, and hostages in Iran. Except this is Carter cubed. We're not going to get away with a piddling little depression this time - it's the full monty. We're not going to get away with just a few hostages who are eventually released - this time it's going to take a dirty nuke on US soil. Alien hordes invading from the South and making Phoenix the kidnapping capitol of the world (second only to Mexico city) are now to be encouraged and abetted - courtesy of the Department of Homeland Security, who was in charge of Arizona as Phoenix BECAME a cesspool of terror. She's more worried about finding out who's Catholic and who's a veteran and who's pro-life, because they might pose a threat to Chairman LMAO's plans for global domination.

I'm sorry, folks, this is a fucking Gordian knot, and it just keeps coming and coming and coming, every day. I hear leftards happily proclaiming the Bush era of "sick fear" over, but the fact is that the more that Obama tries to hang Bush, the more it turns out that Bush is proven right time and time again. The more they endanger us all. The more that "sick fear" becomes a *very realistic fear* and in fact an inevitability.

On September 11, 2001, war was officially declared on us by a faceless, country-less enemy. That enemy has not ceased its war against us; we have merely beaten them back and prevented further attacks. We made a start at a civilized society in Iraq that will no longer aid and abet this enemy, which relies on friendly, Islamic foreign host countries in which to fester and operate and plan. We succeeded. Our men did a fine job. We continued to beat back the enemy at the gates even if it meant he had to suffer a caterpillar in his tent, God help us. And now we're pissing it all away on a pipe dream, to imagine trillions of dollars into existence by sheer force of will (and a printing press) in order to bankrupt and destroy the entire free market.

The press behaves no better than - and in fact quite a bit worse than - Squealer of Animal Farm. They make no pretense of being impartial, fair, objective, or trying to report facts. They are on a mission. An Omission. Why the mission is to destroy us I still don't understand, but it seems to have to do with guilt. Especially white guilt. It's American guilt. Guilt that we were the greatest country on earth, guilt that we had it so much better than other countries because we MADE it better than other countries. Guilt that we had liberty while others were in chains. Guilt that we could produce and advance and share with those who had less, because they simply never should have had less in the first place. Guilt that says the pendulum must swing all the way in the other direction before it can balance, and if that means our constitution and our way of life be destroyed, so be it.

At any rate, I can't keep up with it all any more than you can - the news is moving way too fast. Each new day of this nightmare brings fresh hell with it. So please, keep yourself informed - my blogroll is pretty darn good for that - but there's no way I'm going to get to it all. It's bad enough that the pieces keep adding up the way they do. I'm so figuring on renting out my house and getting the fuck out of this country for a while. I'm thinking Banff.

Update: Actually, this was in part spurred by a comment made to me about something I've been noticing but haven't put into words yet. See, during the election, while a few of us quietly kept to ourselves and discussed the possibility that McCain/Palin could very well lose, and the unthinkable alternative, the rest of the company was awash in bravado, optimism, cheerfulness, schadenfreude "Bush is gone! Obama's gonna do it! In yer FACE!" and loud, braying voices. Despite that the news is coming thick and fast and hard, those voices are no longer loud, they are no longer braying, there is no sense of optimism, cheerfulness, or schadenfreude. It has been replaced by a sort of wondering dread if the topic comes up. That's actually not an exaggeration. A McCain voter who is not very political minded went so far as to praise Obama for bringing the boys home, and...none of the Obamaniacs said a word this time. This is way beyond buyer's remorse; it's something I've never really seen. Sort of like a socialist president is something I've never seen. But I can take no joy in it, because it's at our expense that they took their moment of schadenfreude. At any rate this is what I see in real life. That and a few die-hards. The place where I'm seeing the desperate covering, the putting on of that now-phony cheerfulness and optimism, the continuing schadenfreude and triumphal braying? Online. Online and in the press. That's where you find it. It's phony. Go out among the real people. Go to the places that were the loudest and most obnoxious for Obama and take a real look around you. See who's chanting now. The Spahn Ranch is empty, man.

Q: Why Won't the "News" Show This?

A: They look even dumber when they mock such eloquence.

Shark-Jumping

On the same day I find out that the aftermath of that unprofessional bitch reporter's actions were FALSELY removed due to a NON-copyright violation (how the hell did they convince anyone it was their footage when it was a third party? Who paid who off to get it taken down? The purge, it begins...) I come across this piece, which frankly makes me feel filthy. I mean Happy Days, OK...why not? It's from Happy Days that the term "Jump the Shark" even originates so it's OK to use it to any ill ends. Oh, hell, whatever, I don't have so many fond memories of Andy Griffith either. I always thought he was an asshole for not carrying a gun, and the one guy who DID was a complete buffoon who always shot himself in the foot. I still feel dirty, but not for the reasons I originally thought. Opey - you just go on back to Mayberry, why don't you - or your imagined Mayberry of Europe. After all, they can only live in Mayberry because we defend the whole fucking lot of them.

In a brief note on this nonsense in which the so-called "torture memos" were released without the accompanying memos on the invaluable information that was gathered as a result of enhanced interrogations (not torture, sorry) - including the PREVENTION of Wave 2, planned and operational to attack the left coast - I heard someone make a really excellent point. Two (possibly 3) of the prisoners were waterboarded; problem with the "War Crimes" kooks is that waterboarding is not even legally torture. If they were so gung-ho on prosecuting Cheney et. al. for torture and war crimes for putting a caterpillar in with a detainee - an ENEMY COMBATANT - then why don't they go ahead and MAKE waterboarding illegal and make it torture legally? They could do it in a heartbeat. So why aren't they doing it?

Because that would prove what we've known all along, that it WASN'T illegal and it wasn't TORTURE to begin with. To make it illegal/torture now would put the nail in that coffin, wouldn't it now? Not that the memos shouldn't have DONE that already. Non-issue, move on. Next person to say war crimes gets dismissed as a mere, worthless nutjob, a hysteric with nothing real to say.

Unprofessional Reporter Gets Schooled - Hard. Etc.

Well. You could almost feel sorry for her if you didn't remember that she's not doing her job, is a moonbat, a bitch, and a completely unprofessional asshole.

I'm not going into Garofalo's lunatic rant because we've already established that she is a racist, misogynist, bigoted self-loathing narcissist (the last three are her self-description) who hates all black people who don't want her leftist largesse and calls them mentally ill. Any and all accusations she hurls at others regarding racism are null, void, and not worthy of listening to, much less responding to. SHE doesn't get to lecture ANYONE on racism.

In other not-worthwhile but fun news, Marcotte's teeth are gnashing slightly more than usual at the "wingnuts" who protested last Wednesday, and she's come up with a fairly funny post venting her spleen.

It turns out that the wingnuts were utterly clueless about the slang term “teabag”... Somehow, the group of people who never clued into this term---despite the fact that it’s a widely photographed activity, and joked about by everyone from the characters on “Always Sunny In Philadelphia” to “Sex and the City” to John Waters---is the same group of people who think it’s meaningful to protest the existence of taxes as a cover story for throwing a tantrum about having a black President.

She squoze in every moonbat meme (i.e. lie) except how it was all funded by Fox News - nice going, bitch.

So much becomes clear. Of course you’d become a bitter, nasty wingnut who hates everyone and fears the outside world if you can’t even understand the simple pleasures of a dick joke.

Ohh, this was all just a dick joke! Well THOSE are funny! Though if you try to tell a pussy joke to a feminist, they aren't going to find the humor in it, now, are they? (She gives an "example" of just that except her example only proves what I just said, not the converse. Nothing will arouse a feminist's ire quicker than a vagina joke. That's Not Funny!

Childish? I prefer the term “childlike” as in “childlike joy and wonder"

Ah yes, those childlike joys and wonders - blowing soap bubbles, watching an inchworm make his way across a leaf, splashing in rainpuddles, blowing the fluff off of a dandelion, and watching John Waters hang his testicles over Divine's mouth. I can see it like it was yesterday!

"at a world that could produce people who insist that there’s nothing funny about teabagging”

There is, but not when you do it 51 times in 13 minutes. See, when you BEAT THE JOKE INTO THE GROUND and then keep beating it and beating it like it was Kunta Kinte, it's not funny anymore. When you do it only to mock people who you don't think have gotten or will get it, it's not only not funny, it's not a "dick joke" anymore anyway; it's "CONSERVATIVES R DUMMIES! HAHA!" I smiled (at the teabagging part of it) the first 2 or 3 times Maddow said it...and then she kept on, and on, and on, and on...51 times. Yeah, it wasn't funny anymore, even if teabagging were the joke instead of "RIGHTWING NUTBAGS R TEH STUPID! HAHA!"

You shall not make fun of the penis! ...What is wingnuttery if not a cult of phallic worship, and every time you make a dick joke, you are blaspheming their god.

Well. I can't think of anything crazier to use to mock on THAT one, so why don't we just leave it as it is, huh? Blaspheming their god...nope. I'm crazy but not THAT crazy. Moonbats? They are 18 shades of crazy in a single sentence, and ol' Annie here just can't top that.

Not Even Pretending

Journalism? What color? Yellow. They aren't even pretending anymore. Now having documented that fact before, I'm not surprised by that. But if that shit doesn't infuriate you, you're blind or stupid or a leftist (which = blind and stupid anyway, so redundancy fail.) Also, I guess this "reporter"s assessment on Cavuto was flat-out wrong, wannit? Video below. After that, the cutest mini horsie I've ever seen in order to lower your blood pressure. Now tell me, what in HELL does he have on his little feet??? That's TOO CUTE.

This Aggression Will Not Stand, Man

This aggression will not stand, man. THAT is exactly the message George Bush would have sent. Now I give you that IF pirates had overtaken one of our ships during Bush's watch, their "cause" would have been blamed on us, or on him. I grant you that his clear and distinct message would have been "Oh, HELL NO!" But Jonah Goldberg, Mr. Obama does NOT get credit for simply ALLOWING the SEALS to do what they DO - which is to protect our merchant ships. He just doesn't. Considering that the entire fucking week he was telling them NOT to "hurt" those poor bastards and suddenly they were allowed to "hurt" the poor pirate bastards, NO! A thousand times NO! No, I will give credit to Mr. Obama when he reverses his policy on the economy, slashes taxes and freezes/cuts spending and sends a clear message to the world that we are NOT to be fucked with. Until then, NO!

Warning: Shocking Images

Shocking isn't the word. This stuff WILL make you cry; so fair warning. But this important video is being censored all over the web and the man who made it is being brought to trial in international courts for making it. It could happen to any of us, if we get an audience. You wonder why I like a small, select group? That's why.

Here it is; if you know how to embed it, tell me.

H/T to Moonbattery and THANK YOU for not censoring this video.

Another Exercise in Rank Paranoia

Behold, a map of the scheduled tax day Tea Party protests, which have been going on throughout this abortion of an administration and just now caught the attention of the leftist media. That map? Is pretty damn gorgeous, if you ask me. In addition to being modeled after the original brave Tea Party in Boston, Tea also stands for "Taxed Enough Already" which means it should probably be in caps, but then you lose the other meaning. Oh well. Now further behold the panty-shitting fear on the left at the prospect of actual, non-George-Soros-bankrolled, non-incestuous protest made up of grassroots people from all walks of life actually getting together and protesting, finally taking time out of their daily real lives to say, "Enough is ENOUGH." They can't STAND it - so much so, that they have made false claims that the entire movement is funded by Fox News - heh, yeah, right, and have attempted to stage counter-protests which drew a full dozen people in pink scarves and pink signs. Epic Fail. Now, for the panty-pissing paranoia

April 15th. Write that date down; people- it could very well mark the beginning of the end. With the notoriously conservative Tea Party movement gaining steam, is it time to take the ‘United’ out of ‘United States’?

Ooooh...sounds scary. Or, more accurately, sounds scared. Too bad, so sad.

On April 15th, hundreds of thousands of PO’d red meat eatin’ Americans will converge on the streets to protest the Obama administration’s policies and platforms. Over 360 cities nationwide have been confirmed as protest staging points, and conservative luminaries like Newt Gingrich and Sean ‘Rough Rider’ Hannity will lend their considerable girth and celebrity to ensure a sense of bloated spectacle.

Bloated, eh? Look at the map, panty-waist. No, there is no need to bloat it. The fact is, nothing you people have done since the mid- to late- 60s has even come CLOSE to matching this level of involvement...and this time it isn't a bunch of drug-addled spoiled middle-class oversexed teenagers on holiday; this time it's real.

The Tea (Taxed Enough Already) Party-people consider themselves a coherent and diverse network of Americans from every conceivable walk of life. They are cultural warriors fighting against the tax-happy, spend-happy ways of the evil Obama cabal, real American patriots, and staunch defenders against the creeping evils of Socialism.

Yeah, has a nice ring. It's true, that's probably why.

In reality, their ‘movement’ is incredibly divisive, a mindset that stands in sharp contrast to Obama’s calls for bipartisanship in this time of great national need.

Well, since he's pretty much taking a time of great national need and capitalizing on it (never waste a good crisis!) by worsening it with every fiber of his being, that falls a little hollow, eh? In either case, bipartisanship = bowing to Saudis while insulting the Queen and prime minister of England, apologizing for our country to foreign dignitaries while shamelessly begging them for money and aid they won't give, choosing to put your first televised interview on Arabic television where you relentlessly beg for the favor of our enemies and leave Israel, our ally, out to dry - oh, hell, bipartisanship = the crimes of the king in the Declaration of Independence, pretty much. So, I call bullshit.

Their arguments have the potential to divide the country along titanic lines not seen since the bloody days of the Civil War.

Bwahahahaha!!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Bwahah...wiping tears from eyes...

Unlike, say, the last 8 years and you moonbats' hatemongering lunacy? Bwahahahahah! Ohhhhhhh my God, I can't. think. of. a. response. showing. how. insane. that. was.

Think I’m exaggerating here? The Tea Party movement is an incredibly dangerous concept

Dangerous only to the megalomaniacal powers-that-be, much like the original Tea Party. I'd call that a win-win.

fuelled by the usual gushes of sycophantic support from the conservative news media (here’s looking at you, Fox)

Well, you'd pretty much HAVE to look at Fox, wouldn't you? Until now, your media has outright IGNORED these protests, haven't they then? Even Fox did, for the most part. I don't recall Rush or Hannity having very much to say about them until they really got rolling either, to tell you the truth. No, like it or not, these are grassroots - the real thing, pal. And that's why they scare you so much. Now put on your big girl panties and grow a pair, because you sound like a fucking loser.

Consider a recent poll posted on Sean Hannity’s website, asking his loyal followers if they thought America was ripe for ‘revolution’.

Wow, you haven't read much (or any) Thomas Jefferson, have you? I'm willing to bet the only thing you know is the phrase "wall of separation between church and state" (and I bet you don't even know the context of it or the full phrase) much less knowing about having the soil of liberty watered by the blood of patriots every so many years? No, they didn't teach kids your age about all that in your public schools, did they? That's NO EXCUSE, child! NONE. Information is freely available, and if you are literate, you can GET IT.

Or perhaps you’ve heard some of the vitriolic treasonous crap spewing forth from the mouth of Fox’s resident white-haired lunatic, He Who Shall Go Unnamed. You can tune in to his show practically any day of the week for an (increasingly) thinly veiled call to arms against the President and his evil liberal cronies.

I honestly don't know who the fuck he's talking about. Seriously. But it hardly matters - all of a sudden they have discovered the word "treason" and by golly, they're going to USE it! LOL

The Tea Party Movement is basically a flag for Republicans disenfranchised by last year’s election results to rally behind.

I realize Republicans are your boogeyman, but hardly. These are people of all parties and no party. Get used to it.

Give it up, guys. You lost fair and square.

BWA...oh, ok. I'll stop laughing for a moment. Now, I clearly recall using pretty much these exact same words after Bush's election, and where did it get me? Oh, yeah. It got me 8 years of screaming, panty-shitting, stomping and screaming and a CONTINUING call for War Crime Trials, which was one of the only things Bush actually got RIGHT. If you think those words are going to have any effect now, you are badly mistaken.

Obama and his policies have the mandate of the people- unlike a certain Bush I could mention.

See? I told you so. Well here's the thing, Mr. Constitutional Gene-ass. No one, but NO ONE gets a mandate to usurp the constitution and destroy the country. Remember, I could have sworn you said the same thing (even though you were wrong about most of it). It doesn't matter if 99% of the people in the country vote for it (or if all your ACORN meddling makes it SEEM so), we have a limited government that is bound by the constructs of the constitution, and if you don't like it, get the fuck out.

If the country continues down this dark path, a second Civil War might not just be a cool idea for a sci-fi novel anymore. Can you imagine the potential for chaos if some of these ‘protesters’ decide to exercise the Second Amendment and bring their weapons to these rallies?

Why is the word protestors in quotes? That's what they are. At any rate, why SHOULDN'T they exercise their second amendment right to carry weapons? Unlike your ilk, they are responsible gun owners who know how to use them. I guess only the government agents at these protests should have weapons; and I guess citizens should be stripped of their right to protect themselves when they peacefully protest against crimes by the government. Boy, you suck. BUT you make one glaring error here, Mr. LittleBoy. Gun owners, the real ones, know just how much leftists and the government fear an armed populace, and they pretty much strip themselves before going to anything like this, you malcontented moron. Who the hell wants to be marked and put in a database as a protestor in the group of people you have spent decades demonizing and making into the national boogeyman? No one, that's who.

There’s a thin line between peaceful protest and bloodthirsty patriotic fervor, especially if those protesting are used to being on the side of the mighty status quo.

You mean that status quo that has full, uncontested, non-filibusterable control of the house, the senate, the administration, the media, and ground support? You bet your ass no one wants to run afoul of that status quo, which is why they strip themselves mostly of weapons AND ID before attending. Dipshit.

I hope April 15th comes and goes without major incident.

So does everyone. Oh, yeah, except the leftist infiltrators, who want to bring the whole thing crashing down so it won't happen again and your merry band of thieves can continue on their way unchallenged.

And I hope the protesters fail in their mission to bring their message to a national audience.

Whoah, whoah, whoah. Wait a minute. Did YOU JUST SAY THAT YOU HOPE THEY FAIL? Oh, buster...have you EVER heard the word IRONY? Because you am it. I HOPE THEY FAIL. You said it LMAO

It’s a message of fear, prejudice and, quite frankly, hate.

First of all, that word you love to use so much that it's meaningless - "hate" -? We don't give a fuck about you saying it anymore. When you say it it means nothing. It rolls right off our backs like water off a duck's.

President Obama was elected democratically, according to the doctrines set forth by the Founding Fathers. The Tea Party movement represents a real danger to the tenets of democracy Americans have embraced for centuries.

There are now only 1351 days left until the End of the World.

WTF? First, way to spread FEAR, panty-shitter. Second...what in HELL are you babbling about? Oh...3.6 years...until the end of the world...WHAT? Now there's the way to spread sick fear, prejudice, hate and lunatic paranoia, my friend. Seek help. Please.

In more important news, Sasha and Malia get a puppy. Except the Obamas lied about getting a shelter mutt, instead preferring an elite imperialist purebred just like any pampered, spoiled moonbats would when the rubber really hits the road. But at least they don't have to pay for it any more than Obama has to pay for the pizza that's FLOWN to him from out of state. It was a gift...from drunken swimming killer Ted Kennedy. How's that for hypocrisy?

HERE is one more for you. Participate in the poll that the feminists are trying to skew like they did to get their MORON "driftglass" voted in over "The Anchoress." Except...no, don't. Know why? Because we DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE SCENE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. And, to be honest, who gives a fuck? It's a movie. It looks like a really gross movie, actually. One I wouldn't watch otherwise than the controversy. I would NEVER have watched it; now I want to watch it just to see if he's really raping her. And who CARES? Even if he is?

Things that Make You Go Hmm...

So we already know that pirates are hilarious - just ask Hillary Clinton. We know that Obama is now a hero - just ask the media. What else do we know?

Well, we know that

Richard Phillips was just one of more than 250 hostages of many nationalities being held by pirates who have seized dozens of vessels, from oil tankers to luxury yachts, in recent months.

Helicopters once again flew over pirate bases near Eyl on the Somali coast overnight after his rescue.

"They killed our friends on the lifeboat and we thought helicopters would bomb us in Eyl last night," a pirate in Eyl, who called himself Farah, told Reuters.

"We were mourning for dead friends and then roaring planes came -- grief-upon-grief. America has become our new enemy."

Really? Oh, *really*? 250 hostages in recent months, and these are your "friends"? Which makes us bad? Have I gone insane, or did this guy seriously just say that?

Oh, I'm so fucking sorry they flew helicopters over your pirate base, you miscreant turd, and I'm SO SORRY your hostage-taking criminal pirate "friends" are dead...oh wait, no I'm not. And since when do we want you as anything but an enemy, turd? Why the hell would we want you for anything BUT an enemy?

While some people are bending over backwards to praise Obumbles for grudgingly signing off on a vague order to "use appropriate force" - IF the captain's life was in immediate, imminent danger (being a hostage to armed pirates isn't enough, apparently) - I'm not going to be that generous. The only possible appropriate resolution of this would have resulted in these miscreant criminal shitstains to now FEAR us and fear coming near us ever again, not to declare us their new enemy and threaten us further. There never should have been any question of deadly force the instant any of this came close to happening. 250 hostages in the past few months do not call for negotiations or for inquiries in a court of law, as Obi-wan so graciously called for. The fact that it was even a question is outrageous. The fact that his stand was not immediate and forceful and strong instead of the weasel-words he DID use, grudgingly, in the final extremes, does not in the least speak well of his decision in the slightest. The fact that there has been no fear cast into their black hearts tells me all I need to know.

"This is a big wake-up to the pirates. It raises the stakes. Now they may be more violent, like the pirates of old," he said.

So far, pirates have generally treated hostages well, sometimes roasting goat meat for them and even letting them phone loved ones. The worst violence has been the occasional beating. No hostages are known to have been killed by pirates.

Oh, wait. I guess I was wrong. They're really just a bunch of good guys using unconventional means to make a living just like the rest of us, and we have wrongheadedly now invoked their ire, made a new enemy, and encouraged future violence with our imperialism and our barbarous, torturous methods. Roasted goat meat surely makes up for the minor inconvenience of having your ship shot up, boarded, hostages taken, beaten, and held captive for a week at gunpoint - just pay the money and shut the fuck up next time. They need money too!

Are you KIDDING me?

Teabagging Cubed

If you read the update on Teabagging yesterday, then you'll be interested in this. Following the uber-moron's links on how the Tea Party Protests are in fact a Fox News Channel creation led me to a humongous post about it on a site called "Firedoglake", a cesspool of leftism that I wouldn't want to return to. Naturally DailyKos has made the accusations as well. And then I came across this, which, it turns out, is likely the impetus behind the accusation about the Tea Parties. It is just like I said - **they think we are like them**. They attribute such ill motives to us because **they** are in fact involved in such incestuous activity themselves, and since their motives and methods are ill, like the thief who guards his wallet so closely, they assume that our motives and methods are equally ill. So in the interest of backing up my mention of incestuous activity and attribution of motives, I present you this:

Some of the leading liberal bloggers are privately furious with the major progressive groups — and in some cases, the Democratic Party committees — for failing to spend money advertising on their sites, even as these groups constantly ask the bloggers for free assistance in driving their message.

It’s a development that’s creating tensions on the left and raises questions about the future role of the blogosphere at a time when a Dem is in the White House and liberalism could be headed for a period of sustained ascendancy.

A number of these top bloggers agreed to come on record with me after privately arguing to these groups that they deserved a share in the ad wealth and couldn’t be taken for granted any longer.

“They come to us, expecting us to give them free publicity, and we do, but it’s not a two way street,” Jane Hamsher, the founder of FiredogLake, said in an interview. “They won’t do anything in return. They’re not advertising with us. They’re not offering fellowships. They’re not doing anything to help financially, and people are growing increasingly resentful.”

Hamsher singled out Americans United for Change, which raises and spends big money on TV ad campaigns driving Obama’s agenda, as well as the constellation of groups associated with it, and the American Association of Retired Persons, also a big TV advertiser.

“Most want the easy way — having a big blogger promote their agenda,” adds Markos Moulitsas, the founder of DailyKos. “Then they turn around and spend $50K for a one-page ad in the New York Times or whatever.” Moulitsas adds that officials at such groups often do nothing to engage the sites’s audiences by, say, writing posts, instead wanting the bloggers to do everything for them.

Huh. I told you so.

Moment of Zen - piracy is hilarious! If you thought Obama cackling over the economy was funny, here's another one for you:

Yes, Ms. McEwan, it sure is NICE to have "grown-ups" in charge again, isn't it?

TeaBaggin' It - UPDATE

On the positive side, the leftist MSM is FINALLY reporting on the Tea Parties. On the funny side, it's because they're so fucking stupid that they finally caught on to it. You see, they think that we are cretinous morons who never have sex, don't have any sense of humor or irony, aren't "hip" like they are, and so the deliberate choice of slogans like "Tea-Bag Obama before He TeaBags You" or "TeaBag Your Congressman" have completely baffled them. They ACTUALLY believe we have no idea what in the hell the double-entendre means, and that they are making fun of us stupid, frigid, unhip, unironic, humorless TeaBaggers. I mean, seriously, when will they stop showing us how damned STUPID they are? Rachel Maddow, you are really an asshole.

Teabagging update - the newest move to discredit the Tea Party Protests is that they are in fact a Fox News Channel-sponsored effort instead of a movement that has sprung up from the grassroots and that Fox News Channel has since jumped onto the bandwagon of. Because the media has not bothered to COVER the past protests, the ones that have **been going on all along** which are now culminating in the big April 15 protest, they think they can get away with pretending they never happened, that this didn't come from the grassroots, and that in fact, this is some big orchestrated move by the Fox News Channel. Jesse Taylor, uber-moron, is just where I first saw it, but it's spread throughout the leftist internets like wildfire. First, Fox is an asshole for trying to claim any credit for what we, the people have wrought. Second, you leftards are idiots who don't bother to think beyond the most vapid and shallow levels, just spewing lies and the same tired crap without any merit or warrant. No, dipshits, the Tea Parties were NOT spawned out of Fox Media or ANY media at all. They have BEEN going on during this entire abortion you call an administration and it's just that the biggest one is now coming up.

Let me explain something, leftards - WE ARE NOT LIKE YOU. Pause a moment and let that sink in good. WE ARE NOT LIKE YOU. We have not built an entire industry with incestuous bankrolling upon making idiots of ourselves in protests - when you see a gathering of conservatives or other non-leftards protesting something or wanting to otherwise be heard, you are seeing a gathering of INDIVIDUALS who actually, most of them HAVE LIVES OUTSIDE OF PROTESTING AND BEING OUTRAGED ALL THE TIME, who are finally angered to the point of taking time out of their real lives into making themselves heard. We are not bussed in by idiot incestuous heavily bankrolled hate groups like Acorn or any race-baiting groups or eco-terrorists in order to get a photo op, cause violence, and go back to our dorms. In fact, we aren't as heavily schooled in the mechanics of protest as you people are - we tend to live our lives assuming that we have the right to peaceably assemble when we want to, so sometimes we get surprised that there are a whole host of laws that you professional protestors have gotten into place in order to stop honest people from doing so. That there are in fact many hoops now to jump through, that you are used to having your sponsors jump through for you - that, in fact, we don't necessarily just have the right to assemble if we want to. But we're learning, and we're organizing too. Get. used. to. it.

Mark My Words...He Will Be Tested

So when Joe Biden said Obama would be tested within the first six months with an international crisis, do you think he really imagined it would be pirates? I wish I could be upset, but it sounds so cool somehow.

ALSO - BREAKING NEWS:

The president's new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air. John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed. One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a last resort. "It's got to be looked at," he said. "We don't have the luxury of taking any approach off the table."

I'm sorry, but IMAO is right. It's one thing to screw up the country. HE DOES NOT GET A FREAKING WEATHER MACHINE! Doubleyew tee eff?!

Kumar Goes to White House?

Ok that is just my Teddie bear; my daughter took a good shot and sent it off to me.

But seriously, Kumar? The White House Office of Public Liaison blahdeblah whatever. I mean Bork got Borked for smoking weed, Clinton had to lie about his cocaine and weed heydays, and now we have a glass pipe president with the powder barely wiped off his nose and, like, the Halcyon Days of Weed Administration. Harold and Kumar was funny as hell, though. I just think it was grossly unfair that an equally hilarious stoner movie got completely drowned out because of H&K - that movie is Rolling Kansas. Well, that's my opinion anyway. Here's a link to some of the good quotes, though how they missed, "We ALL loved her, she smelled like biscuits!" got left out. So if drugs are cool and acceptable again thanks to the pioneering efforts of guys like Obama and Kumar and a host of others, could we end the drug war and maybe just have some fun like in the 70s now?

Obamateurism

From Hotair:

People criticized George Bush for holding hands with the Saudi king, but holding hands does not signify submission to another’s authority, and certainly not in the manner that Obama’s bow does here. Holding hands is a sign of friendship. And for those who believe that a bow is another sign of friendship, note that Obama didn’t execute a bow like this for the Queen of the UK, and the Saudi monarch doesn’t bother to reciprocate, either.

Far cry from the days when Giuliani refused the 10 million dollar check from the Saudi prince after 9/11 (and was it Maxine Waters or Barbara Boxer who begged the prince to give it to them instead?)

So what did he give the Saudi monarch, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh? Eminent domain of Alaska? Because the queen had to put up with his presence and all SHE got was a fucking ipod. With OBAMA'S speeches on it. Now there's a gift for the ages.

They can't have it both ways. If they want to stand, rightly, on the fact that we are Americans and we do not bow/curtsy to any royalty, period then great - I'm all for it. But if you are going to bow so obsequiously before one, and so deliberately skip the bow/curtsy before the other, you're making a statement. A bad one. I don't agree with Hot Air that this as an Obamateurism; I think it was quite deliberate. His loyalties are with the Middle East, not our most loyal allies.

Building A Religion - Censored?

Youtube seems to be attempting to censor this video. There's nothing pornographic or otherwise illegitimate contained in it; no nudity or violence...apparently it's just the political beliefs that are a problem.

Please visit Jim Treacher's site to get directions on how to do your own download/upload on your youtube account before they get it taken down all over. I can't do it from this computer, but will try again tonight. Time may be of the essence. By the way, that video is pretty frickin' awesome. The song - where do I know it from??? Was it in Party Monster? It's driving me nuts.

Operating A Barstool Under the Influence

Ok, this IS kind of funny. Moonbattery cracks me up sometimes.

Roommates from Hell!

So, Scarbo at Gonz's place recently linked to a site that I'm not done mining yet - it's that good! It's dedicated to passive-aggressive (in the broad sense) notes that people leave around their workplaces and shared apartments/dorms. It's full of very funny entries and fun commenters (and seriously, hella kudos to the one guy who saw me over at PK and didn't write me off as an asshole that he didn't want to talk to) but it really does dredge up some horrific memories of those poor days many of us had in our youths when we were forced to share residences with people who we wouldn't say hello to on the streets. Those old Roommates from Hell, that is.

My first roommate was on seriously heavy medication (Thorazine and Tuinol ain't no joke), and who spent my last night in the apartment wavering between sobbing uncontrollably and pounding on my door screaming in hysterics. Schizophrenic, but dammit, that shit isn't funny to live with, you know? She ought to have come with a mandatory warning label. My favorite was her throwing toilet paper rolls at me while screaming "YOU BITCH!" (Because I had only been there two days and we had an agreement to share TP expenses, but none had yet been bought.) I still can't believe her cracked-out expression didn't tip me off before I moved in. But it led pretty much directly to me seeking a new roommate immediately, and feeling a bit inured, I didn't choose too wisely there, either.

The second roommate presented herself as an imminently reasonable young woman who would totally not be a complete psycho. Wrong! I was there for a year and a half, and while I would not cast myself as an ideal person to live with, she was a total fail. What got to me the MOST were her notes. Her. endless. freaking. notes. Just a ferinstance - I paid half the dollar amount of the rent each month, minus the $.12, which I figured wasn't a big deal. Oh, hell no. It was a HUGE deal. I would open the electric bill every month and leave half of it under her door in cash, assuming she would, you know, PAY THE BILL. Wrong again! Instead she pocketed the money and **I** ended up in an apartment with the electricity shut off and a week's worth of groceries in the fridge, which I had had to stuff in there amongst her literally 13 years old "sentimental" chocolate that she just couldn't throw out despite its being completely white and disgusting. Once I delicately asked if she were ever going to EAT it and she lost her mind. I had 1/2 of a fridge shelf amid her inedible shit, and was expected to be happy with that. When I was forced to pay the electric bill because I was 8 months pregnant and needed my food, I kindly let her know that I would be deducting it from the rent...that went over like a lead balloon. The return note told me that "No, you may NOT deduct the electric bill from your rent - you will be expected to pay it on time. I pay MORE than half the rent in this place!" I responded by putting $2 on her bed in change, telling her she could keep the difference, and NOW I've paid "half" the rent for the year. Of course that just resulted in far MORE passive aggressive notes of the sort that would have made great fodder for that site, but unfortunately we didn't have the internet or digital cameras then, eh? Needless to say I was forced to stay in the tiny bedroom, was not allowed to bring a single stick of furniture into any other part of the apartment (even though some of it was sentimental stuff that my grandmother had owned and would be gone if I didn't take it after her death) and had to spend all my time in that bedroom as well - despite declarations to the contrary upon moving in, the rest of the apartment I paid half for was off limits! Because, you know, that's HER furniture. I said, "Well then I'll put some of my own furniture in," but "No, two living room sets would be crazy. We will just keep things as they are." Yeah, I'd say so. Because she was such a fucking pig we had roaches the size of SUVs, and I had to call the exterminators (as well as spend my time waiting for one of them to cut my throat in my sleep) but that didn't stop her from blaming ME for the bug problem.

I had to throw out a bag of potatoes that was buried under a mound of towels and other junk because the potatoes had liquefied into a slimy brown mass that smelled, literally, like a sewer...then get screamed at because I'd thrown out HER potatoes. Um...you were going to eat black slime? That smelled like human feces? And quite literally made me vomit? Uh...ok, packrat loon.

Ok, obviously there is a lot more, but it's got me thinking. Any other roommate from hell stories? I'm sure you've got them, if you've ever been unfortunate enough to have a roommate.

And if you don't? Take my advice. Live under a BRIDGE before you take a roommate.

Way to Go, Copious Dissent!

My video guy has just had a bit of a youtube war with some prominent leftard assholes, and it was a really awesome thing to see. To see someone who can thoroughly demolish nonsense without raising a voice or saying "Fuck you" while the other guy is rabidly foaming at the mouth...yeah, I like that. I don't/can't DO it, but I love seeing it. So now we have Zo (of Machosauce) and Crowder, and Copious Dissent. Way to go, guys! Keep it up!
