As the copy says,
Viva la Revolución! So maybe you can't take up arms and join the resistance right now. In the meantime, keeping these guys handy will remind you of your revolutionary roots and let everyone else know that you don't roll with The Man.
As a commenter said, does it come with its own concentration camp playhouse or what?
Naturally Keith Olbermann or Michael Moore would NEVER get such intros or questions; but neither can they handle criticism - Ann doesn't give a shit. It's a badge of honor for the left to not understand her humor or her point. This "reporter"? That's what happens to people whose first memory is their mother holding them underwater.
On a sad note, I had the rare PERFECT opportunity, a clear set-up, to say "There is no spoon" and MISSED IT! I suck at internet! Dammit.
And since Ann had SUCH a busy week, let's see her PWN Joy Bitch-har! Sweet!
...When people knew veganism was extreme. When even vegetarianism was a kook fringe.
Or month!
Ann Coulter has apparently temporarily relinquished her title to "Most Dangerous Psychopath in the World" and become more popular with the media, who even go so far as to call her SMART! (We've been hearing what an idiot she is for over a decade, but now she's smart, people! Ask the press!)
But Ann doesn't suck up to her hypocritical friends (I'm no longer thinking of it as hypocrisy but as abject dread and terror) - she keeps sticking it to them and sticking it to them. Which is good practice for when they start lobbing bombs (and pies) at her again.
PIERS MORGAN, HOST: Where is the similar mob to Mussolini’s and Hitler’s in the modern democratic era?
ANN COULTER: Well, I would say that there are a lot of similarities. The French Revolution.
MORGAN: Tea Party?
COULTER: No. No, no, no.
MORGAN: Nearest thing to it?
COULTER: No, they're much closer to the original Tea Party, which, and actually not as, not as much of a rabble as the original Tea Party, which as I point out, the Founding Fathers weren't wild about the original Tea Party curiously enough because they were so against mobs.
MORGAN: Are you wild about them?
COULTER: About who?
MORGAN: The Tea Party.
MORGAN: Yeah.
COULTER: Oh yeah, I love them.
MORGAN: See I don’t really get that. COULTER: I speak to them.
MORGAN: I don’t get that because you’re a smart cookie.
COULTER: So are the Tea Partiers!
MORGAN: What do people think about you? You're intelligent. You live a provocative life.
COULTER: I believe you're insulting the Tea Partiers.
MORGAN: Well, they're not among the brightest of spellers (?), are they?
COULTER: They're smarter than any liberal.
MORGAN: Do you think so?
COULTER: Yeah.
MORGAN: You really think that?
COULTER: Yes, I do.
MORGAN: In your heart?
COULTER: I meet them and speak to them and they get my jokes which already makes them smarter than the average liberal.
MORGAN: Is that why you think they’re so smart?
COULTER: It makes them smarter than the average liberal. I'm always having to explain, map out how the joke works here.
MORGAN: The way you talk as your publisher does here, “Liberals use mobs to seize power and impose their theories on the populace for the good of humanity.” I think Sarah Palin would have written that, who whether you like it or not is irrelevant, is a brilliant rouser of the populous, like nothing else in politics right now. After Obama himself and his last election, she is doing an incredible job marshaling her base. But she also comes out with some pretty inflammatory stuff and that surely arouses a mob mentality. You wouldn't dispute that.
Oh, wouldn't she???
COULTER: I don't think she's inflammatory. I think she's a great speaker. What do you think she said that is inflammatory? MORGAN: Putting crosshairs on people's heads.
COULTER: Oh, come on. I talk about that in the book, too.
MORGAN: Is that inflammatory?
COULTER: That was invented by Democratic strategist Bob Beckel as he admitted on TV.
MORGAN: And once again, you go back to the Democrats. I'm asking you about Sarah Palin.
COULTER: I go back - where is the camera? I'm going back to the book because I talk about -- let me answer this one. It is a beautiful example of something in the question.
MORGAN: Your default process throughout this so far is fascinating. Every single time I ask you a question, rather than answer about Sarah Palin and crosshairs, you instinctively go, “What about Democrats?"
COULTER: Piers, darling, if I were selling you a book, if I were talking about a book that I had just written about dogs, and you ask me, “What comforts old people,” I would say, “Why, Piers, dogs do. In fact, I talk about it in my book.” My book is called "How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America," and I talk about the crosshairs issue, and if I could answer the question on the crosshairs issue.
MORGAN: You may.
COULTER: It is a perfect example of totally contradictory thinking by the Left in America, an example of the mob where they go around hysterical at Sarah Palin putting these crosshairs on Congressional districts. It was done by the Democratic National Committee. It was invented by a liberal. It’s a classic thing in politics. And it wasn’t on her face. It was a district. These are the ones…
MORGAN: Was it a sensible thing to do (?)?
COULTER: Yes, it is fine for both the Democrats and the Republicans to do it.
MORGAN: Would you encourage them to carry on doing it?
COULTER: Yes. That isn't what caused Jared [Loughner] to shoot up a shopping mall.
MORGAN: How do you know? How do you know? COULTER: Because we know that he’s out of his mind. MORGAN: Mentally unstable guy. As it turns out, it didn't have any connection, it would appear.
COULTER: As it turns out, he was a liberal.
MORGAN: How would you have felt if actually he was mentally unstable, he had seen the website, he misunderstood the instruction from the crosshair, and he went and did the same thing? Then what would you think?
COULTER: Well…
MORGAN: Would you care?
COULTER: …what if I walk out of this studio tonight, and someone who has seen you accusing me of being mean to liberals is so ginned up, he shoots me? Would you not ask any of the questions you're asking?
Well, that's how you answer a stupid "what if" question. Presented without further comment, because I don't need to point out the obvious to YOU. However, I'd be interested in hearing how hard you laughed or how happy it made you feel - made my whole day, and not many people can do that. Thanks, Ann. Thanks, sincerely.

Or, MONSTER JEWISH MOHELS WHO EAT FORESKINS. This is NOT A JOKE - LINK.
Holy HELL! I'm literally dumbfounded, and that never happens. What the HELL are they DOING?!?! You know, had this been a legitimate movement to ban circumcision in San Francisco because it is a misguided medical procedure done on people too young to know better, WITH a religious exemption for Jews and others whose religion decrees it, and WITH medical exemptions when it actually is called for, that would be one thing. But THIS ISN'T THAT. They kept saying over and over again that they weren't anti-Semitic, that this wasn't ABOUT Judaism but was rather about saving innocent children, blahdeblah-shit. Then why is the pamphlet and the collector card straight-up Nazi propaganda? And I don't mean figuratively, I mean LITERALLY. Evil monster Jews fighting off good Nordic blond-haired saviors. Seriously. I...do they not understand that "never again" MEANS "NEVER AGAIN"?? I'm going to show you this stuff as well as linking it because I can't BELIEVE this is going on. FYI the artist's name is HESS.
http://pajamasmedia.com/tatler/files/2011/06/monstermohelcard.jpg
Can you spot the ORIGINAL Nazi propaganda? I admit it's hardly distinguishable (actually, it isn't at all) - but it's the last two. My reaction was OH MY GO...WHAT THE FU...HOLY SHIT! Talk about monsters.
Just let that sink in a minute. When you're done banging your head on your desk, here's some news.
Palin was again RIGHT. See, I remember when they mocked her for the misunderestimate/refudiate bullshit, and the thing is, they're pretty good words. Hell, the dictionary people agreed refudiate carried a unique meaning and actually made sense. But when mocked by the media, Palin pointed to Shakespeare, and noted that Shakespeare made up words all the time. They howled in laughter and derision. Except what the HELL were they laughing about? See, anyone who knows anything DOES know that Shakespeare made words up ALL THE TIME; hell, half the shit he wrote he MADE UP. He invented the language as he went. Go to one of the Shakespearean Insulter Generators, and tell me you actually believe all those hyphenated words were really just obscure English and we just don't know it now. If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. In fact, Shakespeare made shit up. So what were they laughing at? I don't know, but I hope it echoed back to them; stupid dipshits.
In this case, the newest alleged insanity, Palin said that Paul Revere was in part warning the British that we were here, that we were armed, and that they were in trouble. The media howled again. (You know, they really should stop howling.) Well I thought maybe she misspoke, and I have a lot of faith in her intelligence and her being to handle on-the-spot impromptu speaking from a place of being extremely well-read and intelligent. Well, she DEFENDED her remark, and if I had known that I would have realized she probably knew what the hell she was talking about. As a matter of fact, it turns out she ABSOLUTELY DID.
Boston University history professor Brendan McConville said, “Basically when Paul Revere was stopped by the British, he did say to them, ‘Look, there is a mobilization going on that you’ll be confronting,’ and the British are aware as they’re marching down the countryside, they hear church bells ringing — she was right about that — and warning shots being fired. That’s accurate.”
“I would call her lucky in her comments,” McConville said.Yes, I'm sure you would, arrogant prick. Except considering that she stuck to her guns and DEFENDED her remark, there was nothing lucky about it - had it been a slip of the tongue, she could just have said, "Naturally I meant warn the colonists - I was rushed." It wouldn't have been any worse than the "57 states" remark. But she didn't; she stuck to it- if she hadn't known it was true, that would have been a very dumb thing to do. But she's NOT dumb and she KNEW what she was saying, and she IS VINDICATED yet again. So, Mr. McCONville, what's that about the alleged idiot "getting lucky" exactly? You FOOL. Let me tell you, these kind of things - it's GOOD the media blares them left and right, because it only demonstrates to us on the ground that this woman is *truly* educated, is *genuinely* intelligent, and will live to laugh in the faces of her critics yet again. Party like it's 1773, Gwen Ifill and MarKOS!
In other news, HOLY SHIT. Economic Fools Again Are these people mentally ill or what?? What "economists" are these morons listening to?? Oh. Krugman. Not that he's an economist. But holy hell, it's UNREAL what they're saying. Let's shred it.
Is this kind of a wake-up call, do you think, to shift the political debate from what's been all about debt reduction and shift it back to job creation? I mean, is this an opportunity, for instance, to try to talk about creating jobs, and adding, maybe, another stimulus?YES, you idiots, more of what got us INTO this mess is the answer. It'll...create jobs. Or something. (You know, these people don't seem to know what job creation means.)
"We really need a new stimulus" said Krugman.Yes, and you fools will listen to KRUGMAN, a leftist POLITICAL COMMENTATOR and believe he has a fucking clue what he's talking about. HE'S NOT AN ECONOMIST, PEOPLE! Dr. William Anderson explains it in plain English Krugman The Keynesian. Uh, yeah. Fucking Krugman. But the idiocy continues and it's enough to make you pull your hair out!
JOHN BERMAN: But now it [the economy] may have to mend on its own (Note: IF ONLY THEY'D LET IT DO SO!!!), because, practically speaking, there isn't much left the President can do. With the political wars over the debt, there is no chance for another stimulus, no more bank bailouts, there are no federal jobs to offer. And with interest rates at or near zero, the Fed can't do anything to lower them. The President might just have to watch and hope that the American road to recovery, is merely a bumpy road and not a road to nowhere.
Oh FFS!! How many times can we break this down? First of all, the GOVERNMENT DOESN'T AND CAN'T CREATE JOBS. How could they? All they can do is GET OUT OF THE WAY so the REST of us can engage in industry and commerce. But it's worse than that - this fool actually seems to believe (I have my doubts as to whether he REALLY believes it, it's so stupid) - that OFFERING FEDERAL JOBS ALLEVIATES UNEMPLOYMENT. WTF???!!! ARE YOU SHITTING ME? Just think about that logically for a minute, before I shred it on another level. Let's think - WHO PAYS FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT? Ding! Ding! Ding! I heard you thinking "The taxpayers." Correct. WE pay for it. And if WE'RE THE ONES IN TROUBLE and WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BECAUSE WE HAVE NO WORK, WHO THE HELL IS SUPPOSED TO PAY TENS OF MILLIONS OF NEW FEDERAL EMPLOYEES?? **Crickets.**
But let's think of it at another level for a moment. You've got 9.1 percent unemployment, and that is only counting the people who qualify for benefits. So you've got some 37 million people right off the bat. But with so many people having had their benefits already end, the REAL rate is estimated at more approaching 20%. So NOW you're talking about 75 million people out of work and hurting. They are scattered to the four winds, all over the country, and they have endless varying levels of education and capability. So what kind of program, using non-existent money, does this dipshit think can be created to employ nearly a hundred MILLION people all over the country with all sorts of varying levels of capability and education at a federal level? Have they done some sort of study to assess the capabilities of the unemployed and to map their locations so that there would be a dozen or so employment centers in every state that take into account these people's needs and skills, and then employ them in some sort of make-busy federal work? The screening alone would take a year, opening these employment centers would...well it would never happen. You could pour a trillion non-existent dollars into that, and it would STILL never work - of course, you could temporarily employ the unemployed to BUILD the buildings (if, that is, you had union builders on unemployment who were available for the job - I mean, and of course you have to get permits and contracts and all the endless red tape of BUILDING things anymore) and they'd never be finished because there isn't enough money in the world. We'd have hundreds of half-finished or never-started buildings all over the country. Of course, it would be a sweet deal for Uncle Sam, as he'd own all that extra land when the dust died down, right? Why not? You might be able to fool the people into buying this, and Bernanke can do some "quantitative easing" (i.e. print fake money; inflation) to pretend the money is there, and you could trump the project from the rooftops and garner reelection, right? Are the American people still this stupid?
They listen to Krugman, don't they?
Remember Princess boy in his tutu with the exploitative mom? Or the pink nailpolish boy whose mom used him for an ad spread? WELL NEXT TIME DON'T BE SO QUICK TO FUCKING DOUBT ME - I told you the left had an AGENDA with that shit, and with pooh-poohing people like me who pointed it out. Observe.

Obama makes royal gaffes. A national embarrassment.
"While such matters of etiquette may be somewhat unfamiliar to Americans, one would think the President of the United States would have staff on hand to advise him of such things. Or maybe a special teleprompter."
Now it brings to mind the time Bush made a so-called gaffe when the queen visited here, but in fact he was chiding her on her age, and the fact was if you watched it it was VERY clear that the queen thought it was funny, and it wasn't a gaffe at all but very much on purpose. She would have had to be in on it, and the lady does very much have a sense of humor. Plus she LIKED the Bushes and Reagans and was friends with them. These trashy people, not so much. It's pretty clear she won't be visiting us anytime soon, so long as such bozos are in charge. Now why he practically hit the floor for the Saudi king when he bowed (which, no, Americans are not supposed to do) and embarrassed the leader of China doing the same still isn't clear. But this guy is a gaffe-machine like his vice president is...oddly, I doubt the left will be screaming about this one (hell, it didn't bother them that he insulted England by returning the Churchhill bust and handing the queen an iPod with his speeches on it...or gave the other guy a set of WalMart DVDs he couldn't watch in Europe) even though they were in high dudgeon when Bush supposedly insulted the queen, which he DIDN'T DO. This guy's a real chump. And extremely arrogant besides.
Bin Laden's son- well, one of them - is now suing the US, claiming that Osama's death at sea humiliated the family. Which can only mean it's time to hunt him down and kill him too. I'm thinking another burial at sea.
Your moment of zen - while insisting they believe in freedom of speech, students sign a petition to ban Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck from speaking.
GAH! It's cut off; watch it HERE
To the shitheads at Westboro "Baptist" "Church" protestors, who showed up to protest another hero's death. The whole county joined together quietly to refuse these assholes to show up and defile their homegrown hero in Brandon, Mississippi. I think they're all heroes.
A couple of days before, one of them (Westboro protestors) ran his mouth at a Brandon gas station and got his arse waxed. Police were called and the beaten man could not give much of a description of who beat him. When they canvassed the station and spoke to the large crowd that had gathered around, no one seemed to remember anything about what had happened.
Rankin County handled this thing perfectly. There were many things that were put into place that most will never know about and at great expense to the county.
Most of the morons never made it out of their hotel parking lot. It seems that certain Rankin county pickup trucks were parked directly behind any car that had Kansas plates in the hotel parking lot and the drivers mysteriously disappeared until after the funeral was over. Police were called but their wrecker service was running behind and it was going to be a few hours before they could tow the trucks so the Kansas plated cars could get out.
A few made it to the funeral but were ushered away to be questioned about a crime they might have possibly been involved in. Turns out, after a few hours of questioning, that they were not involved and they were allowed to go on about their business.
So, what, "God" wasn't on your side this time Phelps? Boo-fucking-hoo. You're gonna die in your sins, old man. Best watch out and repent.
This is heartbreaking. I'm damn lucky this isn't how we operate in the US or I might be dead right now twice over at the least. Including just yesterday ffs! (Not that they didn't try, mind you - they love to discharge people without really finding out what's wrong; only here you can have something to say about it, and if you're lucky, others, like paramedics, will take up for you.)
Via FaithFreedom.org: The newspaper Asr-e Iran reported that passersby spotted two patients in a field outside of Tehran. The two patients were hospitalized in the state funded Khomeini Hospital. Despite being public and allegedly free, they were loaded in an ambulance and dropped in a field for not having the money to pay the bills.
Isn't that just lovely? Stay tuned for Michael Moore's documentary about the superiority of Iran's health care system to ours. After all, it's free.
Usurper-in-chief's plan for growing the economy? Convince businesses to just hire people, whether they need them or not. After all, they need to step up as good Americans! (Screw the foreigners, unless they're Mexican.) No worry, they'll print you money to pay the workers, if they have to.
"When the economy started growing again, worldwide demand for oil went back up," he said
Um, WHEN was that? In imaginary-unicorn-world, where the "economy" started growing again? And why would oil demand be a good thing to Obama, who promised to bankrupt the oil and coal industries and to make energy prices skyrocket? I think I smell a rat.
In NYSlimes "News" Obama released his long-form birth certificate. Supposedly. Then, and really this was brilliant on his part (if anything he does can be called brilliant) he joked at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner that, "I happen to know my ratings are still high in the country of my birth." Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzip! Rewind! Now I found this out while searching for the term; and why was I searching for the term? Because he already said EXACTLY that in a serious speech - I watched the video months ago - so I knew what to look for. Seems to me he would like there to be two exact same quotes out there so that anytime someone brings that up to him he can say "Sure I said it - just last week/month at the WH CA Dinner! It was a joke, duh." That...that's thinking like a REAL Chicago politician - it's just slimy enough. Covering one quote with another - I bet he was careful to use the same tone of voice, too. Wonder if he covered one birth certificate with another? Heh. Not that it matters; when your father is a foreign citizen, you do not qualify for "natural-born citizenship" status anyway. More people should have been focusing on THAT and stop worrying about WHERE he was born; we should always assume an ace up the sleeve, and please - from a guy who prints money in the basement, what would you expect? That he COULDN'T produce a document saying X, Y or Z? I figure assume he WAS born in Hawaii and focus on the fact that a parent being a foreign subject automatically disqualifies one from natural-born citizen, no matter where you crowned your head. The document is never going to satisfy hardcore doubters, who will find things wrong with it, and the argument about parentage is easily provable on both sides. Went after the wrong thing, birthers. (Not that I blame you; it seems like a good shortcut.) At the very least we know he perjured himself before the Illinois bar (he swore he'd never gone under any other name - hello, Soetero) and that he's used multiple SS#s which means SS fraud...with all those plums just out of reach why pick the one that he COULD fake?
Of course, that means one thing - both he and Michelle LIED previously when claiming http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhe was born in Kenya (yeah, they did.) I said, if he isn't lying now, he was lying then...obviously he was. But...his lips were moving.
Reince Pribus of the RNC sez:
“The president ought to spend his time getting serious about repairing our economy, working with Republicans and focusing on the long-term sustainability of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Unfortunately his campaign politics and talk about birth certificates is distracting him from our No. 1 priority — our economy."and Palin sez:
Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and a potential 2012 rival, said in a Twitter message that the news media should not “let the WH distract you w/the birth crt” from stories like the public comments of Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve bank.
Guys, seriously, that's just NOT fair. Boo! Look, people wanted to see it, that's all there is to it. And he's come up with a great cover for his previous comments (Michelle hasn't, that I know of, refuted or repeated in jest her comment about her and Barack being tested for AIDS in Barack's "home country" of Kenya to set an example. Better get on that, guys.)
NY Slimes, ferreal? A marKOS MOULITSAS quote? THAT'S what you've got? Why don't you just quote random bloggers and include some of us, if you're going THERE.
KOS says they're right to "rub it in their (Republicans') face." Keep it classy, MarKOS. You're becoming a real newsboy day by day.
NySlimes also sez:
White House officials said they hoped to at least bring an end to discussion of the topic in the mainstream news.
I'll BET they do.
NYS Also sez:
Mr. Obama’s comments risked elevating the discredited questions about where he was born, but also allowed him to cast his political opponents as focused on the trivial at a time when the nation is facing more important issues.
Discredited? When? Oh...you mean just now? Allegedly? Well, yeah, I can see your point; those birthers ought to have seen into the future and known he was going to release SOMETHING - doesn't change his status but it was fun to chide him on his and Michelle's previous comments that he was born abroad. And yeah some of us? Don't think the constitution is trivial, thanks.
When I read that they were adding controversial new "Q Without U" words, I knew some would relate to Islam, and naturally I was right ;) Anyway, here's the piece, with my comments.
Scrabble, one of the last bastions of grammatical purism in a world overrun by cell phone text abbreviations, is capitulating to the times.The board game plans to add 3,000 new words to its official dictionary, including several slang terms like "thang" (9 points) and "grrl" (5 points) as well as pop culture touchstones, like Facebook and MySpace.
Oh FFS, "thang" and "grrl"??? NO! Fuck Scrabble. That's it, I'll never buy a new board or dictionary again. Also, Facebook and MySpace don't even QUALIFY for the game because they have capitals? Hello? WTF? (Why don't they add WTF?)
Turning the most heads is the inclusion of "innit," a condensation of "isn't it" that will earn you 5 points - and the undying hatred of any English majors who are playing along.
Innit? INNIT? Hate. Rage. Loathing. I say it occasionally conversationally, but it is NOT acceptable in a Scrabble game. Well, it is NOW; thanks, assholes.
In addition, two new "Q" words have been added that don't require a "u". "Qin" (a Chinese zither, with strings stretched across a flat box) will earn you 12 points, while "Fiqh" (an expansion of Islamic sharia law) will add 19 to your score. Each will also almost certainly have your opponents rushing to challenge the words.
Told ya'!
The push to make the game more relevant to a generation that's more familiar with "Words with Friends" is a risky one. While updating the dictionary makes it a more hip game, the move is bound to upset some fans, who have always taken pride in the fact that the game was never "dumbed down".
SOME fans? SOME? EVERYONE hates this shit. I don't give a damn what "Words with Friends" players think - some of us have been playing Scrabble for 40 or 50 or 60 YEARS and we've submitted to every bullshit change that came along. This is a step too far. Period.
The game's publishers say the additions make this the "most comprehensive Scrabble wordlist ever produced," but that's doing little to soothe some players' ruffled feathers."I don't like slang words at all, but if they are going to put them in we will have to use them," Jean Gallacher, of Scotland's Inverness Scrabble Club, told The Scotsman. "I think there is too much slang in the English language as it is, with the way young people are talking."
Let's face it: it might be fun to earn 12 points by laying down "blingy," but you certainly won't impress the person across that table that has just dropped "Quixotry".
BLINGY? Oh seriously, fuck this game forever.
I bet you thought I was joking about the "controversial" bit, didn't you? I really wasn't, because it's bad enough when they pull this shit, but this...no. Just no. It's a bridge too far and they know it. See, we take that shit seriously. Just think if all of a sudden there was a new poker hand in between 2 pair and 3 of a kind, like 2 pair plus one card lower than the opponent's 3 of a kind? How would you like that if you were a longtime poker player? Or some change to golf scoring that enabled you to take one stroke off your score if you make it to the next tee in 5 minutes? I mean, that's what this is like. It's bogus bullshit. Why don't they change the board? Throw in a few random triple word scores? Or take a dump in the letter bag before they ship it? Jackholes.Damn; I knew he was smart but I really didn't know he was *this* informed and intelligent. Look how every time they try to trip him up he knows EXACTLY where they're going, WHAT they're referring to, and has the rebuttal already? Like the bit about the alleged "school for the mentally disturbed" and he had all his ammo ready; or even knowing about "Hot for Teacher" when they didn't know what they were referring to. Love when he flips it and starts mocking them. Also I had no idea he was conservative. Hehe; great stuff. This Tom Braden guy is pretty good too.
I LOVE his first answer on this one. I HATE when they start laughing at him without bothering to answer - why SHOULDN'T that be on television? This was what Lenny Bruce was trying to do; to get across the point that if someone SAYS the words, it isn't HURTING anyone and probably does more to help than hinder (along the same lines as not having so many alcohol problems, or at least as many kids dying to use the stuff, in places where it's just no big deal and they get wine with dinner from the beginning.) Hell, that's what Cartman said in the South Park Movie when confronted about his filthy mouth - "WHAT DID YOU SAY?" "So what?" he asks, "It doesn't HURT anybody. Fuck fuckety fuck." But at any rate it's not the government's job by ANY means to control that, and it's not the music industry's responsibility in any sense, and it's not the job of television writers to safeguard some particular version of morality...wow. It's just weird I hooked up to this stuff watching some Bruce videos and then of course you get Carlin (now I find him an odious prick, but I wouldn't presume to censor him via law; I just wouldn't buy it or have it in the house) and then I get all this good stuff that, no matter where you stand on the issue, you have to admit makes you really think.
Staying with the theme of reliably excellent movies I thought of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe. Taylor and Burton, together near the very end, when their real life mirrored the dark theme of the movie (booze and a crumbling marriage plus a bit of lunacy), both deliver fabulous performances. Of course Sandy Dennis is also indispensable as is George Segal (who keeps looking around wondering WHAT the hell is going on here! Not that that stops him from boning the professor's wife.)
The entire movie (except the last few minutes in the bar, where there's one tired barkeep) focuses on these 4 people, almost entirely in the slovenly house of the older couple, but most particularly on George and Martha - the tenured professor and daughter of the dean as they welcome a new young couple to the university. She's a pretty nasty bitch who plays head games with her husband (and viciously insults him at every turn), who in turn flips it around on her guests and plays head games with them and with Martha as well. When they finally throw down and admit that it's total war, to the death, you get frightened...it gets worse than what they've already been doing to each other?? What the hell are they going to do now?? Well, it all starts coming out in dribs and drabs as they work through the tissue of lies they've lived on for so many years and rip them apart. Burton is honestly hilarious despite the dark themes and tone of the entire production. Taylor is wonderful as the nasty bitch who spews hatred at her husband in front of everyone they know, and the bizarre part is that they really do love each other. That's the hell of it, even though it is funny. Through it all the booze flows freely and Dennis/Segal (Dennis in particular) are caught in the crossfire. Like I say that still doesn't stop him doing the other wife while his own wife is outside.
When you finally find out their most elaborate fiction, and watch as he ruthlessly rips it away from her (hey, they said total war and she's been delivering same all along), you will have laughed, been disturbed, pondered, and been damn glad you weren't George or Martha. Again, this is a dark story and if you haven't seen it, remember that going in - black humor is sometimes quite satisfying. C.S. Lewis might not agree with me.
Ok, back in 3-D; I'm a fast healer ;)
Look, I'm very glad the independent film industry is doing good - really, I am. I thank Kevin Smith even if he did "Go Hollywood", Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Bill Macy, Welcome to the Dollhouse (which was so authentic Jersey) and even Adrian Brody and Milla Jovovich for Dummy (which is an excellent movie; high on the list.) Also to Trey Parker and Matt Stone who won't sell out, period - they like Brian Boitano and that's it. They HATE the MPAA, who pretty much banned their first movie, until people just demanded that they get their South Park movie (and man, was it funny - I've NEVER had an experience in a theater where every single seat was full and everyone simply LAUGHED for 1 1/2 hours straight - ever. We cheered at Empire, we cheered for Indy Jones, we cheered when Clubber Lang went down, but laughing for the whole movie? That was unique. And kids weren't allowed in, so no one had to worry about that noise heh.)
But let's face it, the indie industry also puts out a lot of garbage and weird crap. It's a gamble. So I saw this movie today called "Thumbsucker" and it was...weird. I wasn't sure what the hell they were trying to say. You've got Vince Vaughn as the teacher and Keanu Reeves as an orthodontist channeling Morpheus, an adorable 18 year old boy who sucks his thumb, the unhappy mom and the demanding and non-accepting dad. Lots of moody Elliott Smith music. The kid goes from thumbsucking to ADHD to Ritalin (and flying way too high) to getting stoned with a girl and playing weird games with her to...well I don't freaking know. Eventually he made it to NYU, threw out his pills, stopped getting high and was running through the streets of NYC. Was it good? I don't know. So I started thinking about all the other possibilities, of movies that are still reliably awesome, and came up with a few names. I've already mentioned Of Mice and Men (1992 version), but there's also O. Henry's Full House (1952), an often overlooked gem, and Captains Courageous (1937.) So we'll start with those.
Captains Courageous stars little Freddie Bartholomew set against Spencer Tracey, a group of other fishermen and Captain Disko played wonderfully by Lionel Barrymore. This movie delivers reliable laughter and tears, and really, joy. Trailer Here
Harvey Chayne is a spoiled rich boy who the other kids can't stand, who makes false accusations against his teachers (such as leaving 50 dollars for a teacher to make a test easy without telling the teacher what the money was for or who it was from - he accuses that one of accepting a bribe.) One of my favorite Freddie's lines was about how they had invited one particular boy to a sleepover as part of a plot - he asks "Well what do you want to go around spoiling plots for?" Well, his father is told when Harvey gets suspended, and what is so refreshing is that instead of protecting his precious snowflake, the father immediately apologized for his son and said he would immediately start spending more time with the boy to try and help him change. When his father takes him on a boat ride, the boy brags that he can drink 5 milkshakes if he wants because it's his dad's boat, gets sick and falls overboard. He is rescued by the remarkably talented Spencer Tracey, playing a Portuguese fisherman on a run out of Gloucester. Naturally, like in Sea Wolf, the rich boy is set aboard a tiny fishing boat with a rough group of men and has to spend the next few months with them. Barrymore heard his story, and said he couldn't wager a year's bread against a boy's yarn, and they would drop him off in Gloucester when they were done fishing. The boy keeps yelling, and another refreshing change - Disko delivers a resounding slap to the kid, knocking him to the ground. In amazement, Harvey says "You hit me!" and Barrymore says drily, "Now you jest set there and think about it." Heh; great stuff you don't see anymore.
Over the course of the trip Manuel (Tracey) takes Harvey under his wing and helps him overcome his rotten temperament and learn how to be a real fisherman. There are pitfalls along the way, such as Harvey tampering with another fisherman's line when he and Manuel have a bet with another fisherman on who would catch the most fish. He had just reeled in an enormous halibut and Manuel simply threw it back in, saying, "I no catch big honest feesh like you with a cheater. Go tell all the other feeshies we got no fisherman here!" When the other man, having hooks pulled from his arms, hears Harvey's apology he attacks the boy - Manuel, failing to smooth it over by saying "See, he apologized like good boy", goes medieval on the guy, saying "You touch that keed I keel you, see? ME, Manuel." It's a truly shiver-worthy moment seeing this sweet-natured well-intentioned man go from smiles and apologies to quiet, menacing rage.
Well probably everyone knows the story, so I'm not spoiling it by telling you he becomes a worthy boy and Manuel dies...when Harvey is finally reunited with his loving dad, he says he wants to be with Manuel, that he's got to. He was going to fish in a dorry with him the rest of his life. Fortunately the father is perfectly sympathetic and they end up a wiser boy and father in the end. It is a truly dramatic comedy - that perfect blend of both, that you don't often find anymore. Cuckoo's Nest did it, I think, but that was much darker than this story, which is moving and uplifting and musical right up to the dramatic death at sea. And it was truly dramatic - he knew he was going down but Harvey didn't - he thought they would save poor Manuel. He did end up with the hurdy-gurdy Manuel's father had left him, which had provided so much comfort aboardship. He even hears about how Jesus was a fisherman too, and that there was fishing in heaven. When Manuel asks him if he didn't have a song in his heart so big he just had to let it out? Don't you never feel like that? I still could cry, but the nice kind of tears. Disko's slap is in the trailer as well as Manuel's threat. The movie might be there too.
If you like bizarre humor (and I do) it's worth watching Chris Elliott's spoof, Cabin Boy.
O. Henry's Full House is a collection of O Henry stories played by a star cast including Anne Baxter. Particularly touching was The Last Leaf, wherein a bum who actively commits petty crime every fall to get himself sheltered in jail for the winter, finally decides to get his act and life together, only to find himself accidentally arrested and sent away again. A perfect O. Henry twist, classic. That one is melancholy and full of pathos. Of course you've got Magi and The Ransom of Red Leaf, which is a comedy. Well worth watching - it's usually shown around Christmas because of Magi and the Last Leaf.
Finally, Of Mice and Men 1992. Now I'm not particularly a Steinbeck fan - I find him to be an angry, bitter writer. (Hmmm...) Like Dickens. And I normally don't like adaptations too much (which is why I just listed three of them ;) ) and if I do, I usually like the original much more than the remake. Case in Point - the Poseidon Adventure. The remake blew; you could not compete with the original cast in that case. But this time I was totally won over by an excellent and tragic movie (you really have to be up for this one; it's very sad) acted by one of the best casts I've seen assembled for such a piece. And the fact is, much as I love Burgess Meredith, he just didn't pull George off right. You've got Gary Sinise (the most underrated actor I've ever seen) as George, guardian to the seemingly lovable, frighteningly strong retarded man Lenny (John Malkovich!) whose previous guardian had died. They are always on the road, looking for the next job as itinerant farmhands. Lenny is excellent at it, being so amazingly strong, but you get a hint right away that he gets into "trouble". In fact the movie begins with a woman running, torn and beat up, through a field and a team with dogs hunting, Lenny hiding waiting for George. Then they get on the road and it gets funny, happier, and pathetic. Lenny makes George tell him the same story every chance he gets - tell it George! "Guys like us," answers George, "are the loneliest guys in the world." "Yeah, but not me and you George, you tell it tell it" and George drawls, "That's right, not us, because we've got each other." He then spins a tale about how they are going to save up their money and go in together on a little farmhouse and Lenny will get to tend the rabbits. But he mustn't let the cats get the rabbits - to which he replies "I'd break that goddamn cat's neck!" They laugh together, they travel, they eat together - Lenny threatens to move to a cave in a particularly hilarious Malkovich moment. When they reach their next job, George makes sure to show Lenny where to hide if he gets "in trouble" again, and George will come for him. In a particularly foretelling moment, George throws away a dead mouse Lenny is petting in his pocket and trying to hide. That mouse ain't fresh, Lenny, I didn't do it out of meanness, as Lenny weeps bitterly. George promises to get him a pup as soon as he can, because they're sturdier and won't die so easy from Lenny's not-so-gentle handling. Bad move, George.
What's really striking is the bond they share - all they have is each other in the world during the Great Depression. On the farm, we find that guys like us really ARE the loneliest people in the world - they each sleep alone even though they're all in a bunkhouse, are mistreated by the boss-man, and we meet the *wonderful* Ray Walston, all broken from years and years doing the most backbreaking work. Walston has a mongrel dog that is also old and broken down - when the men start telling him he needs to shoot the dog, Walston says he can't because he's had him since he was a pup...they keep pushing, and Walston finally agrees to let them go shoot the dog. When he finally hears the shot, he curls up on his bunk and weeps, and so do I. He ominously hints to George that he shouldn't have let them shoot his dog, because it was HIS dog; HE should have shot it himself. George takes the hint.
Walston hears George's story and asked him if it was true about the house; George says it is. Walston asks if he could please throw in with them; that he had $300 to contribute. They were reluctant, but he convinces them and they plan to buy the house at the end of the month. Lenny amazes everyone (and busts the hell out of the boss-man's hand because he hit George, and George turned Lenny loose to take care of him; it's a frightening display of what Lenny CAN be and do without George's restraint) but then he does kill the pup, and inadvertently kills the boss-man's wife, the only woman in the picture. George had warned Lenny by slapping him - the only time you ever see him slap Lenny - and telling him to stay away from her, she was a rat-trap and that's it. But she was very lonely and pushy, and got Lenny alone by the end...and that was the end of her too. He pets women too hard as well, and he snaps her neck. Well, I needn't tell you that when Lenny went to his hiding place and George ran after him as the men followed, searching with their guns, that George remembers the lesson of the dog...he tells Lenny not to turn around, and Lenny says "Tell it to me, George, tell about them rabbits again" as Sinise takes aim with his gun. It was his dog, and he was going to put it down or no one was...and frankly Lenny's dangerous. In the end George is riding the rails alone, no house to look forward to and no companionship. Like I say, it's incredibly sad and you really have to be up for that one, but it's still a must-see if you love fine acting. Teaming Malkovich, Sinise and Walston like they did was just brilliant; I wish Sinise had gotten the Tom Hanks lead in Green Mile; he was much more suited to it. Which is another very sad movie but well worth watching.
So there you have some rainy-day entertainment, depending on what you're in the mood for. Like I say they're all reliably good and moving, all have laughs and tears, and all have excellent performances.
Well, we all love a man in uniform.
Ok, nobody ever really believes the true story of a black eye (even the person who has one) but it really was a stupid accident. Doesn't hurt much but I look like Rocky yelling "Yo, Adrienne, I did it!" So in the interest of never letting that happen again, and since I'm getting too old for this stuff, screw it. No more booze. I'll miss it but I'll live. In the meantime no mirrors for me and lots of ice. Anyway I mention it because I might not be blogging until the world is 3-d again and the other eye isn't straining. Don't worry; this is not an emergency; this is a test. If it had been an actual emergency you'd have been alerted where to go. (Except when it finally happened we totally weren't.)
So...don't you think it would be cool if alchemy worked? I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
Dirty mind, it's a GUITAR.
It's not photoshop. It's a male bird of paradise (otherwise known as a wtf?) attracting a mate. The females apparently like 70s fad t-shirts.
OK I was going to do a review of Of Mice and Men but not now; someone's sleeping in here. So I'll get back to it then go on a little vacation (a week should do it...sorta - actually it's already a lot better today, though it probably LOOKS worse. I really bruise like a grape. If grapes bruised. Maybe apples.) And the stupid things don't even show up most of the time until they're done hurting. Idiot bruises.
Am I the only person in the world who doesn't like poetry at all? Especially if it doesn't rhyme. It's IMO the worst stuff Poe turned out (his Scheherazade story was awesome, though). Ok I had a book full of dirty limericks written by Isaac Asimov and that's as far as I go. Ok and Martin Buxbaum's book (it's rather sing-songy and sort of shallow) and of course Now We Are Six by A.A. Milne. But that's it.
40 year old man, 15 year old girl. "Explain one thing, please. Why did you keep asking me to come?"
Put THAT in context.
So... we're down to this. Goodnight fuckers. You think I'm gonna keep giving forever? WELL I WON'T. Have fun. (For what it's worth, this does not mean you. It is a general slipping the bird to the whole population - don't most of us want the internet and real life emptier? I do, even though I truly like you.)
The pause that refreshes. Supposedly. So I was rereading the Space Trilogy (oh, only about the fifth time) and came across this introduction to the third story. By master C. S. Lewis. I mean, here you've got two fantasy books followed by...well wtf IS this one? The first is a trip to Mars peopled by fantastic characters and imagery, the second is even more fantastic. It's a trip to Venus that time, an ocean world. My BIL has never sold a painting except to me - and I bought it because it was to me the image of Perelandra, a giant ocean wave. So without further adieu, I present the introduction to the third book, That Hideous Strength, which does not follow as an act of pure fantasy...or does it?
I have called this a fairy tale in the hope that no one who dislikes fantasy may be misled by the first two chapters into reading further, and then complain of his disappointment. If you ask why - intending to write about magicians, devils, pantomime animals, and planetary angels - I nevertheless begin with such hum-drum scenes and persons, I reply that I am following the traditional fairy-tale. We do not always notice its method, because the cottages, castles, woodcutters and petty kings with which a faity-tale opens have become for us as remote as the witches and ogres to which it proceeds. But they were not remote at all to the men who made and first enjoyed the stories. They were, indeed, more realistic and commonplace than Bracton College is to me: for many German peasants had actually met cruel stepmothers, whereas I have never, in any university, come across a college like Bracton. This is a "tall story" about devilry, though it has behind it a serious "point" which I have tried to make in my "Abolition of Man". In the story, the outer rim of that devilry had to be shown touching the life of some ordinary and respectable profession. I selected my own profession, not, of course, because I think fellows of colleges more likely to be thus corrupted than anyone else, but because my own is the only profession I know well enough to write about. A very small university is imagined because that has certain conveniences for fiction. Edgestow has no resemblance,save for its smallness, to Durham - a university with which the only connection I have had was entirely pleasant.I believe that one of the central ideas of this tale came into my head from conversations I had with a scientific colleague, some time before I met a rather similar suggestion in the works of Mr. Olaf Stapledon. If I am mistaken in this, Mr. Stapledon is so rich in invention that he can well afford to lend, and Iadmire his invention (though not his philosophy) so much that I should feel no shame to borrow.
Those who would like to learn further about Numinor and the True West must (alas!) await the publication of much that still exists only in the MSS. of my friend, Professor J. R. R. Tolkien. (editor's note: yes, Narnia was written on a dare between Lewis and Tolkien. Which only makes it better.)
The period of this story is vaguely "after the war." It concludes the trilogy of which "Out of the Silent Planet" was the first part, and "Perelandra" the second, but can be read on its own. C.S. Lewis, Madgalen College, Oxford, Christmas Eve, 1943.
How awesome is THAT? How much do you want to read it now? It's like Thomas Covenant, only better. (Had to quit the second time because the giant-ravers were hella scary. But if you like fiction, Covenant is a necessity. Lord of the Rings done by a cynical modern bastard.) And how much should I hang my head in shame by considering myself a "writer" of any sort? Yeah, I'll go sit in the corner now, blown away by the brilliance of a REAL writer.
Ok side note; I'm watching Paranormal Activity on Netflix and I'm calling bullshit already. 6 minutes in, she's knitting? And she's using these enormously fat needles. Do you have any idea what a loose knit you'd get from needles that fat? Pretty fucking loose, I'm telling you now. Nothing you could actually WEAR. I knitted myself a beautiful denim sweater and I used size FOUR needles...now that's a tad excessively small and I'll never do it again (aw hell no) but for a wearable item you can't go any higher than size 9 or 10! She's using like 15s there! What the hell kind of fat yarn has she got to use such an enormous size? I'm really overthinking this, but then so far as I know, the alternate ending is about ten times better than the one they went with. It's like an hour and a half setup to a screamer video.
Ok, ten minutes in. "Found footage" should not have a soundtrack. That's pretty much the point. How often do you wish YOUR life had a soundtrack, and if you could pick it, what music would you pick? I'm thinking Malmsteen but my life's not that hopeful. Or classical. Or metal. Ok forget Malmsteen. If my life had a soundtrack I guess it would be the Jaws theme. Or maybe Vader's theme. Haven't decided.
11 minutes in. Ok so the kittens have opened their eyes, but they all have this totally sad look still, as it happens. Like a blobfish.
Of course it's real. One of those monsters you only find on a deep dive. (Ocean, the final frontier.) So here I am with five blobfish kittens and they have a very devoted mom. I wonder what she's gonna do when I give them away. Will she react like Annie did and search for them forever, carrying a rolled up sock in her mouth and crying? Or will she rise above it? Guess we'll find out.
Also the guy wants a tip on the horse races. I used to be very good at picking horses at the Meadowlands. Probability is my specialty; my 9th grade teacher didn't believe at first I'd wroten the paper about probability. When he asked me if I understood it, I was happy to say yes. Um, yeah, I WROTE it didn't I? But one time I threw caution to the wind and betted on a 99-1 hunch. Escondido, I'll never forget it. I'd been doing data entry and my boss knew Springsteen. (They totally made plans to meet at The Stone Pony while I was typing. Springsteen was gonna have to wear a wig, even. Hey, them famous peoples is important.) I typed Escondido like a bajillion times, so when I saw the longshot Escondido, I bet on him to win. And HE DID. Went in with 20 (never carry money to the horse races, even if you are talented) and left with a hundred. Pretty freaking sweet. We tripped for a whole week on that money.
Time, time, time, see what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
But look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hear the salvation army band
Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say, but if your hope should pass away
It's simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around, the grass is high
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life
Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time
Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime
Ilook around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground...
Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground...
Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground...

Drinking my Vodka and lime...carry your cup in your hand...Oh, S&G were so east coast, and they...damn they were the poet and the one-man-band! I saw them in Central Park, living legends. As Garfunkel said about Monterey versus Woodstock, he was involved in the ORIGINAL so why would he want part of the copy? The original is obviously better. Ok left-coasters, I give you that much credit; you did the super-concert better. But WE still got S&G. So...WHAT-EVAH!
Silly tornadoes, boring me by passing right over my fucking HEAD. Yaawn. Of course, they CAN steal your cheeseburger, which is just a dick move on their part. Stupid tornadoes, plotting douchebaggery.

I have made it as far as his first answer before my head 'sploded. When I'm done cleaning up the brains so it won't attract zombies (or dinosaurs) I'll watch the rest. Apparently Obama can not take even a hint of skepticism. He was apparently so very rattled that he screws up at the end and says angrily "Let me finish my questions!" (uh, you mean answers?) Considering he talks for the vast majority (perhaps 95%) of this interview, how can he be losing his shit like that? Well, he's above the law! He's supposed to be a rock star and you treat him as such, peon. I'm sorry, I mean "Messiah". (Who can magically transform opposition into raaaaaaaaaacism!) So...as JWF says, any opponent - from Trump to...ANYONE opposing him, ought to look forward to giving this guy a complete reaming in any debate. As he stammers "Uh..uh..uh...racist! Tax cuts! Boooooosh DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!" (Honest to blog, that's his first answer - Bush did it.) Not only did Bush do it, Bush "didn't pay for" the tax cuts. That's why my head 'sploded. When will these economic jean-asses realize you don't PAY FOR tax cuts - omg does he think the same old lies are going to work? Oh. They worked before and the left still buys it. I forgot. Then he says he's gotten the economy GROWING AGAIN and that's where my brains hit the wall, necessitating cleanup. I told you, it draws zombies and dinosaurs. I don't allow zombies in the house; they rip your heart out and stuff. And dinosaurs leave big steaming piles of poop on the floor...kind of like Pelosi and Reid and Obama. Ok, how do people make it through this hideous shit? It's like having KOS as president FFS!
As FrankJ says, you could pretty much take any random person off the street and get a more competent president. So the Republican slogan (hell a Democrat challenger's slogan, too) ought to be, "Obama. It's statistically impossible to vote for someone less competent."
Hell, if there are no takers, I'll run on that slogan myself.
Ok, ONLY THE STRONG "get help"? You fucking kidding me? The poor get ALL the 'help'. My husband is working in a housing project in this state, and his co-worker told me that every single freaking ROOM they go into has giant-screen televisions in it - he was blown away; said he's never SEEN so many big televisions. Here are all these people living a better lifestyle than I do, and they don't work. And they want to put us out of work so they can have the jobs? (See Jesse Jackson Jr. recently.) To quote Nancy Pelousy when questioned about the constitutionality of Obamacare, "Are you serious?! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!"
Yes, DEATHLY serious, unfortunately.
Ok, honestly, this guy is a jackass. I mean, even as he's pointing directly to and OUTLINING this thing, he's still so bizarrely, utterly...wrong - well I've never seen anything like it. It's so stunning in the scope of the stupidity that it's downright hilarious. Particularly the end, where he says "Oh, it may be a moth" - er...yeah, ok after what you just said? That really REALLY doesn't save you at all, genius. I'm sorry, I know mistakes happen, but this guy just wouldn't back down even as he's outlining the thing and pointing out wings calling them hooves; I...no, he's a jackass. Because he stood by that shit even...holy crap. Just watch the video, will you? If it's cut off, see it HERE
"You can now edit the US map on Google. Probably going to be someone’s full time job to restore New Jersey every time it’s deleted."
Haha! He's the IMAO guy - and he's hilarious. If you've never been there, do take a visit. It's where I get my daily laughs. He also says:
"Charles Mason breaks twenty year silence? I thought he was only fired from MSNBC a few months ago."
And Charlie used that broken silence to condemn...global warming! Bwahaha! Manson and Gore and Manbearpig - what a partnership.
Finally in funnies, Sheriff Joe Arpaio is posting the funny mugshots of the day so we can all vote Mugshot of the Day Good stuff! I wonder what the heck happened to THESE GUYS . I don't know but the second one is sad; I'm voting for the guy covered in...cocaine? Heroin? Flour?
Ok I'm sure it's cut off (though for this it shouldn't matter actually, so give it a try) so if you need to it's here. H/T to the Awesomer.
And that's why they can get away with perpetrating acts of terror on our legislators with impunity. I read this and got quite literally ill; physically. That's only happened to me because of written material maybe 3 or 4 times. One was the sociopathic "feminist" Valarie Solanas; the woman who shot Andy Warhol. She has a hate-screed about killing all the men and WHY we really need to do so. Only ten percent of men would be left, and they have to be "turd-men" who are actively seeking their own destruction. (Laugh, people did - but prominent women's studies professor Mary Daly advocates precisely that in an academic setting, and gets paid to do it.) Next time a feminist tells you she won't read anything anti-feminist because it's "ugly" send her a copy of the S.C.U.M. Manifesto by Solanas - it's feminist, after all. Required reading for most women's studies courses. And it's as ugly as writing is possible to get.
Anyway, that was one time. This is another. I...I'm stunned. It's sick.
The Obama administration, which refuses to allow any of its representatives to appear on Fox News, proudly boasts that it has “a great relationship” with the anti-American Al-Jazeera television network.
That part didn't do it; but as we go on...
Seven years after then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called the broadcaster’s reporting “vicious, inaccurate and inexcusable” and President George W. Bush joked about bombing it, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised it as “real news” in her recent Senate testimony.
Al Jazeera. AL JAZEERA. THIS is who our administration is cozying up to? To what extent? It gets worse, much worse.
Not only that, her staffers, as well as those of the CIA and the Obama White House, were attending the Congressional Correspondents’ Dinner as Al-Jazeera’s guests.“They are a really important media entity, and we have a really great relationship with them,” said Dana Shell Smith, the State Department’s deputy assistant secretary for international media engagement, who speaks Arabic and has frequently appeared on the channel. “This administration has empowered those of us who actually do the communicating to be in a close relationship with Al-Jazeera. They understand that the relationship can’t consist of complaining to each other about the differences we have.”
That did it. Except that wasn't all. It still gets worse. Yes.
… “The emir of Qatar come by the Oval Office today, and he owns Al-Jazeera basically,” Obama said in remarks recorded by CBS News’s Mark Knoller. “Pretty influential guy. He is a big booster, big promoter of democracy all throughout the Middle East. Reform, reform, reform. You’re seeing it on Al-Jazeera.”
The WHO came by WHERE? We're giving a terrorist organization access to the WHITE HOUSE now? What makes it so bad is that two years ago this would have been utterly unthinkable and you would NEVER have to worry about this happening. Omg, it doesn't get better. Every time I read this shit I get sicker. 8 years we fight the terrorists and in two this guy has turned it around 180 and having them to tea. All that blood, all those people who jumped to their deaths, all our boys who went over never to return...and we're best friends forever BFFs! with the media outlet who empowered the enemy. "Complaining about our differences"? Are you fucking kidding me? This isn't about DIFFERENCES; these are our ENEMIES. This is treason. My worst fears have indeed been confirmed. First we let in the communists and now we let in the terrorists. This earth is satan's dominion for sure.
WHY DIDN'T I TAKE THE BLUE PILL? Wake me up; I'm having a monster nightmare!
via: I Hate the MediaWhile you're here; I just came across this old link to Jezebel - why feminists HATE Sarah Palin so viscerally. Surprisingly, she openly admits the real reason - they're jealous! And ugly. (Jeez, seeing someone talk about "ugliness" in the feminist movement...has she ever seen Andrea Dworkin??? Google it; I'm not putting her here.)
Ok so it's a personal post. Sue me.
So here I am as of last night, all set and ready to quite literally Go Galt like some of our friends have already done. I got nothing to lose here. Yes, I'm a pessimist. Well you know what sometimes happens? Sometimes shit changes out of nowhere.
I'm a panicker. Well, not usually full blown panic attacks like it used to be - I think I used up a lifetime's supply of adrenaline during the great panic of, what, 2002? (24 hour panic attack - completely unsustainable.) One thing about being a worrier, you like to spread it around. Why aren't these people around me scared? Must remedy that immediately. They shouldn't be content when I'm freaking out. How can he SLEEP? Is he insane? He should be kept awake worrying.
Anyway, so I was gonna unpledge and tip the fuck out the back door. Alone or with company, didn't much matter. I had a higher purpose, though, so it's ok. Then suddenly, today I find myself confronted with possibility. And...it came at the last minute. I haven't been confronted with possibility for a long fucking time. Hope is a very hard thing for me, and suddenly this ray breaks through against all odds. You may tell me there's no God, but...damn. Yeah, there really is. Providence is alive and living. Sure I'll find plenty to worry about, always have, but...there's this ray. And we'll see, won't we?
Guess my final stand may take place right here after all. How can a final stand take place in Jersey?
Knew my Barking Moonbat detector was going off.
If you missed my post on the homegrown terrorist that has threatened the lives of a congressman and senator and spewed her hate-filled Anti-Semitic screeds all over the web, has paid US a visit! Seriously it's on the "Shit just got real" post. Go give her some bacon so she can be a cannibal like us, as I phone the FBI and report her.
I think they call this poking the bear, but I'll just call it pig-in-a-poke.
These aren't our kittens; but it looks almost like them. And they're at the same stage. Ours are cuter.
Ok; bile out of system, thanks for your patience.
All 5 little kitties are doing just fine; they were exceptionally tiny (like the size of mice) because she is a very small cat and there were five of them and they don't SEEM any bigger, just a bit plumper. But it's REALLY adorable (I can't get pictures yet because my good camera went missing many months ago out of nowhere and the one we have needs really bright light; which neither mom nor the babies wants right now) because while their faces don't look right yet, nor their little chicken legs, their bodies and tails are just like these TINY little perfect H0 model cats; little teeny tiny stripes one of them has all down its body right down to the raccoon tail (but grey/dark grey not rust).
And on two of them it looks like just the very inside corners of the eyes are starting to open. If they actually get mobile and aren't much bigger...well jeez, they're gonna get creamed; they better grow. Even if it would be hilarious; they're like hamsters or something. But as I suspected, she's a very very good mama and they are quite content.
Only thing is our big giant old tomcat...first time she came out of the closet to eat and drink, he hissed at her. And he's been hissing at her ever since. We've scolded him and yeah, I gave him a swat at the haunch, a light one - he knows he's being bad and he just gets really pissy with ME then. Oh he wouldn't dare hiss, but he gives me the stinkeye. And my husband has tried too; it's quite obvious the cat knows what he's being scolded for and he just gets pissy with us. But it's sad, because she just looks up at us like, "Why is he doing that? I didn't do anything!" He'll even stop, sniff at her, then hiss again. Bastard. He won't attack or anything; he's never killed anything in his life much less fought with anything. Actually, when he goes outside the birds divebomb him and all he does is look up and start talking to them. True story; only thing he ever "killed"- I'm thinking he all of a sudden after a year or two killed something and that seemed weird. He's walking up to the house with something dark and fuzzy in his mouth. Turned out to be a glove. Well, he brought it home, anyway. Now this girl kitty, she was like 3 months old when she started killing. Brought the dam thing right in the house and started playing with it. I was like uh, no. Not in here. So I'm not worried he's gonna hurt them; but normally he likes to play with the other animals (he played with my dog; or he tried; the dog was terrified of him. Well the cat was like 3 times his size) so I was hoping he'd play with the little guys too. Well I'm sure they'll all work it out, but I don't like to see him unhappy and making her wonder what's wrong. Ah well, they're gonna be so cute when they open their eyes and get mobile. And right now it's just fun to check out their little colors and stripes and watch them for a few minutes. She likes more privacy than the last mama cat we had; but no problem.
You got two representatives - a congressman and a senator being threatened and hate crimed by one of your buddies - you know, a black Muslim (is that the newest protected class? Does protected class mean they can commit no crime?)
She's bragging about it all over the media - she's honestly PROUD of that Piss-letter. So, Obamessiah, oh holy fucking anointed asshole. What the fuck you gonna DO?
You gonna be a MAN for two seconds or at least PRETEND you are, and demand some accountability here? I mean, obviously you can't demand justice because you've never heard the word before (well except maybe for "social justice" but that doesn't mean what you think it means) but you can demand "appropriate" behavior, can't you? Or at least you can PRETEND you do; we're all stupid, we'll fall for it. So you gonna bring the cunt in for questioning at least? Do a little search to make sure she isn't running a meth lab (I mean she's crazy as a shithouse rat; it could be meth) or cooking up vats of poison, or like dissolving bodies in vats of acid in the back room? Just like a cursory check? Gonna see to it that she at least doesn't get to keep working with people's MEDICAL records considering her new history of TERRORISTIC THREATS towards members of Senate and Congress? I remember one of my kids' friends who had a minor skirmish with a friend - and yeah, it was fucking minor. And I seem to remember there was an arrest, a charge of "terroristic threats" and a stint in jail (yes, they could have been bailed out but we live in the real world.)
I swear this here and now. I will NEVER again cooperate with a single fucking member of law enforcement in ANY fashion whatsoever - they will have to BEAT me with fucking nightsticks just to get me to stop so they can ask my NAME - THIS I swear. If NOTHING comes of this terroristic act by the Pisslamist Bitch, if she's not fired and brought to SOME type of justice for this crime that she so freely and proudly acknowledges. You may not have made a very powerful enemy in me but I can promise you to go down with both guns blazing and with NOTHING but fight to the death, if this goes unnoticed and unremarked. I'm watching. And I'm counting the hours. You mark my fucking words you sleazy PRICK. Just wait and see what I call you if you fail. (I shall taunt you a second time.) Ok, that was for my friends. I'm telling you right now; this would be a mistake. The day of reckoning is at hand. If I go down alone; so be it. But...don't be so sure I will, marmot man.
For Jameela. Or maybe that IS Jameela.
Ok, this is a long one but important and well worth it - thanks to SirCrunchie at the AntiIdiotarian Rottweiler, Gateway Pundit, and I Hate the Media, where this illustrious bitch got her start!
There once was a troll named Jameela, who went to IHTM to copafeela. Ok, she was trolling IHTM with long, long, boring, insane anti-Semitic anti-Christian radical Muslim ravings - and I DO mean ravings. Well you'll see. They eventually got tired of sifting through it and banned her. They reveal that this is not someone from the ME but from Marietta Georgia. Which I hope they've told the FBI and DHS and the White House and anyone else who'll listen. Next thing you know, two congressmen receive, between them, a bloody pig's foot, a vial of strange liquid, and a Curious George doll filled with some weird substance and covered in Stars of David (marked headed for Auschwitz) in the mail along with hate screeds. Rep. Peter King (R-NY) and Sen. Greg Ball were targeted. You have probably been reading about this in the news. Turns out it's our old friend Jameela, the little bitty internet bore-troll; now moved on to sending hate screeds and threats to Congressmen. Nice, huh? Wait till you see what she wrote. I'm going to rip it as I go, so be patient and try to maintain the flow; if you want to give it a readthrough first to get the full impact of this lunatic's warped and diseased head (which should be shorn from her body as quickly as possible) have a look HERE. I'll be posting it and commenting as I go. Ready? Actually you can't get ready for this.
A Georgia woman reportedly has claimed responsibility for the severed pig’s foot that was sent to Rep. Peter King, apparently in protest over the hearing he held on radical Islam.Jacquelyn Barnette, who described herself as Muslim, told the New York Post she sent King the package, which also contained an anti-Semitic note, this month.
The U.S. Postal Service intercepted the package before it ever reached King’s office.
“I thought the letters explain themselves,” Barnette told the Post.
Oh, they do, Jameela, they do.
Jameela is a radical Muslim blogger.You DON'T SAY? SHOCKER!
A Georgia grandmother who says she sent state Sen. Greg Ball a Curious George monkey with a label saying it was bound for Auschwitz, cheap perfume and an anger-filled, anti-Semitic letter also laid claim Wednesday to mailing a bloody pig’s foot to Rep. Peter King of Long Island.
A what? A grandmother? Ok one, that's weird and two, why the fuck would I care? Compared to the rest of this, that's meaningless.
Jameela Barnette, a radical Muslim blogger, said Wednesday she mailed Ball a box containing the plush monkey pinned with Stars of David and the letter (which addressed Ball as “Dead Man Walking”) because he is “using Muslims to further his career.”“I sent it to let him know I am extremely displeased for his declaration of war on Muslims, which is what I regard those hearings as,” said Barnette, a medical records consultant…
…Barnette, who has posted anti-Jewish, pro-Muslim writings on blogs and websites, said Wednesday “no one gets upset if someone burns a Quran” but everyone is offended if Jews are disparaged.
First of all, we're all relieved to know what Jameela feels about these hearings - I mean, I was gonna wait for Lady Gaga to weigh in before giving my thoughts on the matter but hey, Jameela's even better. And isn't it comforting to know that her job gives her access to people's private medical records? It's just positively inspiring.
And uh, no one gets upset if someone burns a Koran? I'm sorry, let's review this - Only 321 murders (in 26 attacks on churches) and 2 beheadings occurred in the 7 days after ONE Koran was burned. Hey, every religion has its extremists, after all.
ORIGINAL LETTER MAILED TO REP. PETER KING POSTED BY AUTHOR: JAMEELA Jameela 11 April 2011 Senator Greg Ball 817 Legislative Office Building Empire State Plaza Albany, NY 12247 Asa Lamu Laikum Dead Man Walking, Sinclair Lewis predicted: “…if Fascism ever came to America; it would be wrapped in a flag, carrying a cross…”
Instead, as Crunchie points out, it comes wearing a turban and bearing the signs of a goatfucking pedophile moongod.
and it is apparent that you are the proud, dirty-white, goose-stepping, cross bearing, flag-draped, Muslim-hating, Christian ghoul marching to your own destruction. Instead of bashing the intellectually superior Muslims
As evidenced by Jameela's clearly superior intellect.
shouldn’t a handsome, cannibalized, crazy, Christian, cracker like yourself be in church chomping on Jew-god corpse and washing it down with Jew-god blood under the pretense of “Holy” Communion?
For me, that's where shit got REAL.
Let it be known! We Muslims decline to dine on the flesh of Jesus Christ your human sacrifice, under any guise. As such, there will be no mass conversions from Islam to Christianity; a few Muslims will convert, but only those predestined to burn in the Hell-fire with the evil likes of you. Your participation in the 4/8/11 Declaration of War against Muslims under the guise of “Muslim Radicalization/Culture of Jihad Hearings” displayed a complete lack of Political Correctness on your part and because of your lack of “PC”, your Lord, Allah has cursed you with PC; prostate cancer.
Ok, typical radical Muslim hate spiel and all of a sudden...politically correct? WHAT?! Clearly it is politically correct to call Christians cannibal Jew-chompers. WHAT?! PC? Are you shitting me?? (Of course if that wasn't a clue that she's NOT Middle Eastern or Arabic but obviously American in origin, then nothing is.)
It will be very difficult for you to goose-step when your testicles swell to the size of soccer balls and your junk is flopping about your knees and your hubris and avarice are replaced with humility and exquisite pain.
Oh, I got some PAIN for ya' Jameela. Come'n get it porkie! Soooey!
Former president Ronald Reagan stated: “…self-defense is not only our right, it is our duty…” and should the hostile Jew’s succeed in whipping their Christian slaves into a Muslim-murdering, blood-thirsty frenzy, bent on the destruction of Islam; Homeland Security will come to know the real meaning of stealth. Muslims prefer peace
Obviously. And isn't the juxtaposition of all this Muslim raving with Americana just a tad...jarring?
however the hostile jinn species are averse to peace and won’t allow it. Self-defense is my right and my duty and I always fulfill my duty, Insha Allah I will neutralize legions. And where in the fuck are my Reparations?
Whoah! Where'd THAT come from? (Again, quite obviously entitled American and now we know what color. Wouldn't hold my breath for that check, Jammie - you're gonna be playing a harmonica in the maximum security wing of the federal penitentiary for a long, long time.)
I am requesting that you hold hearings to determine if the Reparations promised to African-Americans by the U.S. Government for centuries of brutal slavery was spent financing the Pig Poachers of Palestine’s brutal, satanic and sadistic enslavement of the Palestinians. Also, inform your colleagues that Allah will question you all about the Twilight Diet on the Day of Resurrection.
Here she employs a bit of humor, cashing in on the Twilight franchise name to support her ravings. The Good Book: Edward Chapter 8 verse 7. (It does actually make sense; she goes on at length not only about us cannibals, but us vampires too. Woot! I hope I get to sparkle!)
I have included a gift for you, your own stuffed miniature Jew that you can worship in the privacy of your own home. The following Verse of the Qur’an confirms that your AIPAC jinn masters are nothing more than a rabid and perfidious mob of barn and zoo animals perpetrating as human beings and the plush monkey/miniature Jew I have gifted you with is an accurate representation of who the Jews are and what you stupid Christians worship. The Cannibal Cult of Christianity was not founded on facts nor faith, the Cannibal Cult of Christianity was founded on stupidity and conjecture and conjecture is no substitute for the truth. The Hell-fire will be brimming with the stupid aka Christians.(Say [O Muhammad to the people of the Scripture): “Shall I inform you of something worse than that, regarding the recompense from Allah? Those [Jews] who incurred the Curse of Allah and His Wrath, and those of whom [some] He transformed into monkeys and swines, and those who worshipped Taghut [false deities]; such are worse in rank [on the Day of Resurrection in the Hell-fire], and far more astray from the Right Path [in the life of this world]”.)
Let me just make sure I've got this straight then - so when I point out Koran verses pointing to the hatred embedded within the fabric of the religion, the murder required by it, the Jew-hatred it was founded on, and I'm told that that's just misunderstanding or twisting the verses, you're just LYING to me, right? (Actually the Koran does command, in later verses, that one lie in order to continue to spread the religious plague, and later verses render previous verses null and void so...yep I'm pretty sure that means we AREN'T wrong when we point out the hatred in the foundation and fabric of the religion. Don't ever try to tell me different again, kthxbai.
Read the Qur’an and you will learn that Allah, the Lord of all that exists, sent to the Children of Adam, an Arab Prophet aka Prophet Mohammed {pbuh} because Adam, the first man and father of all humanity (non-Jews) was an Arab, as Adam spoke Arabic.
*Snerk.*
This means the world’s entire population are of Arab descent, as we are all the Children of Adam, with the exception of the Jews, they are the Children of Israel aka Iblis aka Satan. Your dirty-white race is far removed from the racial purity of our Arab father Adam and by default, this makes your dirty-white race the morally and melanin depleted garbage race and not the master race, only master fools. Allah will dispose of your garbage race in the manner in which Allah Disposes of the garbage that He has created. Allah will burn your Jew-worshipping, dirty-white, garbage asses in the Hell-fire on the Day of Resurrection, the Day when true justice shall prevail and not the corrupt, Judeo-Christian swine shit masquerading as American Values around the globe which will soon come to a brutal and decisive end, along with the demise of the Pig Poachers of Palestine.
Aww, she's a filthy racist too! Too cute. Next time I read how black people can not be racist because they just don't have the privilege to be so, I'm going to be bringing up ol' Jammie here.
I advise you to wake up from the American Dream, go to a physician and get your dirty-white garbage ass examined and avoid Jew physicians, lest they harvest a kidney from you without your permission. I will be scanning the obituaries to read the end of your saga, which should read: AIPAC purchased, treasonous, scumbag politician and loyal ass-wipe to his Jew masters, succumbs to prostate cancer. Now report me to the authorities, the same authorities who utterly failed to prevent and even embraced the hostile takeover of America by the hostile jinn species aka AIPAC. Enjoy your brief and evil life of fairy tales and hokum your evil Jew masters created for you because the Hell-fire is your final destination and the final destination of all your colleagues.Kind Regards,
Bwahahaha! I think that's called "unintentional irony" or maybe just lunacy.
Jameela Messenger of Allah & Defender of Islam
Well that's just all lovely. How about we give her a spot in the State Department? The UN? C'mon, she'll fit right in.
But Jammie isn't through with us yet, mister.
Christians are Child Abusing, Demon Possessed, Devil-Worshipping, Cannibalized Vampires What is the difference between a monkey, a Jew and a pig? There is no difference according to the Qur’an, which reveals Allah transformed some Jews into monkeys and swine and Genetic/DNA testing will confirm this. The Qur’an also reveals Christians will go to the Hell-fire for their worshipping Allah’s Messenger slave, whom they devour in their pagan rituals. I advise all Christians to read the Qur’an and discover what your evil, fire-species, greedy, Muslim-murdering, maniacal, monkey masters have kept concealed from you. Do not read the Koran, as the Koran is a crazy book, written by crazed Jew’s to hide their satanic origins; the Children of Satan aka the Children of Israel. Clinically insane Jews also wrote the Koran in an attempt to portray Muslims to be the murdering lunatics the world knows the Jews to be; yet Christians continue to serve and worship the war criminal, occupying, hostile fire species as Allah’s Chosen People. Christian’s arrogance is only exceeded by their brutal stupidity, as Muslims and Jews know the following Commandments invalidate Christianity; yet Christians continue to disobey Allah and perform uncivilized and depraved acts of cannibalism and vampirism on a dead Jew’s corpse and call it “religion”. Christians are being willfully ignorant, as they all know it was Allah and NOT Jesus who parted the Red Sea to allow the Jews to escape the pursuing Egyptians and the vampires also know that it was Allah and NOT Jesus who spoke to Moses on Mt. Sinai; yet the low-life, racist, cannibalized vampires continue to worship a murdered, Jew Messenger, “SLAVE” as their god…
The religion of peace.
Now I invite all of you dirty-white garbage dogs to kiss my black Muslim ASS, which would be quite the treat for cannibals like yourselves, as you are accustomed to eating jew-god corpse.
She's got a real hardon about communion. Why don't we send her a truckload of pork-infused communion wafer? No, no pork; she'll probably like it. Just the wafer then. A couple tons. Just start dumping it into her tenement apartment until she smothers. See what I did there? I didn't return a kiss for a slap. I went in the other direction. Guess that's something that happens when someone rants ceaselessly about your evil "Jew-corpse god" (as opposed to, you know, your goat-fucking pedophile murder god.) People get a little testy.
THEN the stupid bitch goes BACK to GatewayPundit, and right in the comments section after this VERY STORY, posts yet ANOTHER copy of her screed. They said the IP checks out and yes, it's from her. So...why haven't they picked her up yet? I'm thinking any time now. They'd BETTER pick her ass up and never let it go again. Bitch don't NEED to be on the streets and she sure as HELL doesn't need to be looking at any medical records. If they don't want some street justice visited on this rancid bitch, they'd probably better get hold of her.
Because this story done been broken now. I'm gonna add this tag now, and if you don't like it, GTFO - Religion of Piss. Indeed.
Hey, Jameela, this is for you. Proper use.
