Artist’s Rendering: Ass not really that dark.

Projection ain’t just for movie theaters, folks. As Cranky pointed out the selective outrage that always seems to effect national Democrats, the revelations that Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s book “Game Change” is threatening to unleash is bound to give us a sequel to America’s Historic Conversation On Race that we all need to have so much:

–In lobbying the late Sen. Edward Kennedy to endorse his wife, former President Clinton angered the liberal icon by belittling Obama. Telling a friend about the conversation, Kennedy recalled Clinton had said “a few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee,” the authors paraphrase.

At least he didn’t say anything about Obama being the half and half for his coffee. These arbiters of racial sensitivity. And at least he didn’t say anything about shining his shoes or then Chuckles McPonytail would be obligated to defend him.

It’s this type of black-on-black violence, the First Black President and the Second One, engaged in these rhetorical drive-bys by the Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X of our times that makes me worry about the future of our Idiocracy. A real tempest in a demitasse.

–Reid said Obama could fare well nationally as an African-American candidate because he was “light-skinned” and didn’t speak with a “Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one.” Saturday, the majority leader said he had used “poor choice of words” and called Obama to apologize; the White House issued a statement indicating that the president had forgiven Reid.

Now everybody’s making ado about the “light-skinned” and “Negro dialect” mentions but I don’t see anyone talking about the last part of it – the “unless he wanted to have one” comment. That’s the part that needs fleshing out. Why would such an erudite, by all appearances “clean” and well-scrubbed politician want to speak in some ghettofied dialect? Presumably, Reid is not referring to an African dialect but the one that Al Gore and Hillary Clinton usually devolve into – the Stepin Fetchit-ism from the pulpits of black churches.

That’s the explanation I want. When does Reid think that it is beneficial for Obama to get ghetto? Maybe when he’s going to shame someone on the other side for an innocuous remark?

Not to worry, folks. Not to worry. Once he knew the story was going to break (read: yesterday), Dingy Harry immediately called to apologize and kiss Obama’s light-skinned ass. All that’s left is for him to kiss it and for the media to ignore this story by tomorrow morning.

Nothing fosters racial conciliation more than a bigot and a race huckster coming together in the name of stealing all your money.

Thank God For Taxation Without Representation Update:  Attention, all you Washington, D.C. vacationers.  If you think you can seize on Harry Reid’s comments and find a friend in the black community then you better recognize:

D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton is warning Republicans against trying to make hay out of Harry Reid’s comments about Barack Obama’s skin color and lack of a “Negro dialect.”  The nonvoting member of Congress said Reid’s opponents “will not find a welcome mat in the black community” if they try to seize on his remarks.

Norton, a black woman who represents one of the most heavily African-American cities in the country, said Reid will enjoy support from the black community because he has “earned it with long support of civil rights and many other issues that matter most to African-Americans.”

So don’t wonder where the mat is if you end up in the D.C. area.  You won’t be able to find it. Some crazy woman stole it and is running around with it to protect a man who can appreciate the finer points of her negro dialect that she’s taking out on you.

He earned that right.

Do note the highly selective application of standards by The City Paper / Nashville Post / Nashville Scene’s CEO in the wake of Klanheider’s most recent pooch-screwing:

We trust our writers to post content that is appropriate. Most of the time they do that, but in this case Kleinheider did not. If this had been a news story for the Post or the Citypaper or the Scene it would have been edited and that headline never would have been made public.

Really?  Really? I notice you make the distinction to “headline” as opposed to content.

Was it appropriate when he started deploying the derogatory homosexual epithet “teabagger” as the go-to insult for townhall protesters who wanted nothing more than the oppressive gonads of the government removed from the squinting face of the nation?

Beware of Being Blindsided By The Bag

You’re going to honestly pretend like you didn’t notice all of those?  There’s more.  Many of the post titles are sexual double entendres themselves.  In short, we see why Klanny is the liberal editor’s favorite “conservative”.  His scrotal fascination is surpassed only by Jeff Woods.

Here’s one even joking about getting away with it:

Hurtting My Sense of Propriety.

After all, who knew that your head political writer writing on your own site was  calling the majority of the people in Tennessee faggots for the last 7 months? It certainly wasn’t lost on the comments sections.  This is really too rich for the people who supported the recently passed anti-discrimination ordinance in Nashville.

I’ll hold off on breaking out my hazmat suit to wade, balls-deep as it is, through The Scene’s recent archives (or worse at your Pith site) since “teabagger” is one of the nicer terms they frequently employ to describe anyone to the right of Bruce Barry’s wife.

Maybe we should have changed the headline when it came to our attention. I didn’t actually see the post until it had been up for almost four hours. By that time, it seemed to me that the readers had pretty quickly corrected Kleinheider and that a serious discussion about race was beginning to happen. I think discussion is a good thing. Kleinheider went about creating it in an inappropriate way, but race is obviously still an important topic for us to discuss in this community. SouthComm will continue write about race in this city because it is too important an issue to be swept under the rug. I regret that this incident will likely bias how some of you view our future more serious reporting on the topic. I assure you that as we approach the subject in the future we will do it in a more respectful manner.

Oh, yes.  We’ve seen how “respectful” and “serious” your *cough* unbiased *cough* reporting has been in the past (YSNI contest winner: “Your local GOP makes the KKK look like the ACLU.”).  If Ferrell wants to start complaining about poor judgment, perhaps he can start by removing the scales bags from his own eyes.

Ferrell steeped in a “respectful” discussion on limited government.

From teabags to d-bags. Thanks for the inspiration.

So Glenn Beck boils a frog.

Hippie jazz musician (and anti-creationist blogger) at Little Green Footballs cries himself to sleep after hearing about the outrage during his hourly visit to DimOCrack Underground.

Turns out Glenn Beck was just pretending to be a frog mur-diddly-urdler. Charles is sad. He thought this was the smoking gun he needed.

LGF sidekicks and sycophants are beyond consolation.

This is the kind of thing that can happen when you spend too much time on the computer. Step away from the blog, Kilgore.

BMac here:  I hope you don’t mind PTH.

I won’t say who said this but I’m kind of taken aback. And when I say “taken aback” I don’t mean that in a “taken from the rear” kind of way:

MORE ON DON’T ASK DON’T TELL. Plus, comforting words for gays from Chris Geidner and Andrew Sullivan. Don’t worry — they’ve got top men working on it!

Dare I say, they’ve got a good many “bottom men” working on it too.

Now I know the feud is sticking in his craw.

Dan Collins has left Protein Wisdom to set up his own shop, Piece of Work In Progress.

Now it can be said, Protein Wisdom is one of the most intelligent blogs I’ve read. However, something interesting happened over the years; Jeff’s armadillos, “meta” humor and Billy Jack pieces started to get old and I found myself more interested in Collins’ work.

Glad to see Dan out on his own makin’ a name for himself. Read it, bookmark it, live it.

All the best to Jeff too.

Lynch mobs are all the rage.  But don’t take my word for it.  This week featured some hanging judges that would have made Roy Bean look like Jim J. Bullock in a short-sleeved button up with a pink sweater tied around his waist.

It seems a staff secretary for a local politician did what most every bored secretary does at some point during the day – she forwarded an e-mail.  An admittedly tasteless one, but one that nevertheless is missing the intent to make this the national story it became.

She did not create the e-mail.  She did not create the picture in question.  It was not coordinated by a political campaign.  But, she worked for the state and worse (A Republican…ssssh!)  now the liberals have taken the noose that their Democrat grandaddies kept in the closet for their special nighttime barbecues and want to string them up an old lady in hopes of smearing her boss.

That’s politics in this day and age.  These bloggy little Johnny Ringos are playing for blood but if the standard is now sending out offensive e-mails we can hit 40% unemployment next week.

Your lack of sensitivity offends me, lunger.

Wanna play for blood?

Whaddja say, young man?

If the standard is sending out offensive or politically charged e-mails from state computers then we can solve our budget crisis this month with all the layoffs and it will be the Democrats who infest our government jobs that will bear the brunt of The People’s Budget Windfall.  Better yet, let’s expand this to state employees who are forced to work for the re-election campaigns of their bosses or face reprisal – On My Dime ™.

But let’s focus on the rorschach of these images for a second and who gets outraged by what.  Going back two years ago.

Example 1:

a.  Crazy Islamists start burning down embassies in Denmark over this cartoon being published in a newspaper.

b.  a local blogger published a crude stick figure of what can only be recognized as “Mohammed” because it has “Mohammed” written on it and holding a bomb.  A local alt-douche outlet plays up the story and confronts his employer to get him fired.

At the time they wrote this:

Hobbs’ stated point—that the media shouldn’t be intimidated into self-censorship by angry mobs of Muslims—is fairly non-controversial….but by deliberately desecrating Islam’s central figure—“the ‘Prophet Mohammed’ ” as Hobbs sneered, using quote marks for sardonic emphasis—he attacked an entire religion, not a group of fanatics who pervert the religion’s teachings. Then he drew him as a bearded stick figure holding a bomb and said he “blows.” It seems bearded Muslim terrorists are the new big-nosed, money-grubbing Jews. …Yep. But that’s Hobbs’ sophomoric, misguided brand of political humor.

c.  Speaking of “sophmoric, misguided political humor”, flash forward two years and this is today’s cover of that same alt-douche weekly.

15% more edgy + 75% less content = Pete Kotz Publishing Gold

(I won’t mention the joint smoking Jesus cover)

So much for inflammatory images attacking an entire religion.

Example 2: (more…)

In response to this news item:

There is a good discussion in the comments that goes deeper than nanny-states, RINOs and Libertarianism.

For those of you who were worried (you know who you are), I have not yet succumbed to Mexican pig flu. I found out that the antidote was eating a lot of pork, so I’ve spent the past two weeks on a bacon and BBQ bender. It has gone well.

I am even happier to announce that we’ve added two new members to the Six Meat family – Nigel and Yiddish Steel from This Goes To 11. They’ve been long-time readers/commenters/hellraisers here and they’ve finally accepted our invitation for a login.

Ordinarily, I would say be nice to them during their transition, but they know this place well enough to know better. Welcome, gents!

Nanny-state eurowhore Jacqui Smith is selectively banning foreigners who don’t come to her country from coming to her country because:

“If people have so clearly overstepped the mark in terms of the way not just that they are talking but the sort of attitudes that they are expressing to the extent that we think that this is likely to cause or have the potential to cause violence or inter-community tension in this country, then actually I think the right thing is not to let them into the country in the first place. Not to open the stable door then try to close it later,” Ms Smith said.

“It’s a privilege to come to this country. There are certain behaviours that mean you forfeit that privilege.”

Thus spracketh the Mammy-State Moses as she came down from Mt. Self-Righteous to deliver her stone tablets. Among her Who’s Who of Who Can’t Visit her dying country in the hospice of it’s history is a luminary cast of klansmen, skinhead murderers, terrorist preachers and radio talk-show personality Michael Savage.

Don’t get me wrong. Savage can infrequently be entertaining when on his medication and not stoked by the audience to discuss the climatological impact of woodburning fireplaces but lumping him in with murderers is a bit much, love.
After all, we don’t have to look too far back in the past to find that the privilege of coming to Britain isn’t so bloody hot in the first place:

‘HE is the coward for mocking victims of friendly fire’: Families of dead soldiers react with fury to Muslim hate preacher’s taunts
By Andrew Levy and Paul Harris
Last updated at 9:46 AM on 12th March 2009

The families of soldiers killed by friendly fire in Iraq have reacted with fury after a firebrand preacher taunted them over the deaths of their loved ones.

…

The preacher, the right-hand man to cleric of hate Omar Bakri, went on to attack the ‘vile’ parade. He said the soldiers were ‘terrorists’, comparing them to Nazi troops who ‘cannot be excused for simply carrying out their duty’.

…

Choudary, 32, posted the comments on a website run by the Islam For The UK group.

He has close links with Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah, the radical Islamist group believed to be behind the application to Bedfordshire Police for permission to stage the protest. ASWJ was founded in 2005 and took in members of Al-Muhajiroun when the Luton-based group formerly led by Bakri was outlawed.

He said: ‘Pathetic and cowardly British soldiers pompously marched through Luton to demonstrate their skill at murdering and torturing thousands of innocent Muslim men, women and children over a 24-month period.

He added: ‘Non-Muslims in Britain must appreciate that the actions of the British soldiers must be condemned unreservedly; they are not heroes but closer to cowards who cannot fight, as their uncanny knack for death by “friendly fire” illustrates.

‘They are terrorists, and cannot be excused for simply “carrying out their duty”, which incidentally (and vividly) was also used by Nazi soldiers in Germany to justify their notorious and bloody campaigns in the early 20th century.’

Yes. Do lecture the world about your standards for civil behavior while you coddle the Islamic scum suckling at the state teat while they piss on your dead in open public.

Radio personality who most people in Britain would have never heard of? Banned. Radical Islamics who spit and mock your returning soldiers for cleaning up their native countries get a check in the mail courtesy of the British taxpayer. Better yet, let them work at your airports handling the luggage.

Allow me to save everyone some time and voluntarily ban myself from going to England. I hate visiting nursing homes much less ones for Western Civilization. The only thing worse is visiting daycare. In this case, we find Ms. Smith gladly cheering the British Intifada’s baby steps while teaching them to sing “London Bridge Is Falling Down”.

UPDATE! Four bloggers, three cities. Come back tonight for our Tea Party round-up.

I almost forgot – in addition to today’s Tax Day Tea Party protests, it’s Buy a Gun Day! Though Aaron’s CC is still on hiatus, I’m sure the tradition still stands.

It’s Tea Time in Tennessee.

Michele’s Nashville Tea Party report from Feb.

Lee & Terry Frank, the hosts of the only conservative radio show in East Tennessee, will be broadcasting from Worlds Fair Park today so I look forward to stopping in and bothering them. In the Knoxville area, you can tune into their show from 3 – 6 pm every weekday on AM 850 – or catch them streaming on the web at Lee & Terry Frank.Com. I should really plug them more often.

Our brother T-Man down in Nashville sums the Tea Party Movement up nicely.

A History of the Tea Party Movement.

Whats-his-face has a piece in the WSJ about the Tea Parties as well today.

Get out and make some stink today, peeps.

UPDATE:

I have neglected to mention that there is a food drive for Second Harvest Food Bank at the Knoxville rally today. Please bring non-perishable and canned foods to donate to Second Harvest.

Is the Pajamas Media mindtrick working yet?  Recite until it’s not an issue anymore.

Radaronline has gotten to take a look at Biden’s coke princess daughter and is shocked - shocked – to learn that the bitch she got set up.*

So what?  Did somebody force her to put a straw up her nose?

It was a setup.

The video purporting to show Vice President Joe Biden’s daughter Ashley snorting cocaine was preplanned by a man trying to get rich selling the tape, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

The man, who is apparently a friend of Ashley’s, even bought the cocaine and the hidden camera, our investigation has uncovered.

“Your investigation”?  That entails what, exactly?  The guy selling the tape shoving it into your reluctant faces?

Let me say this.  You don’t need real cocaine to put out a fake video.  You don’t need a hidden camera if you’re using an actress.   You don’t hire a law firm in advance of selling the tape if it’s fake.  If it was fake both Biden and his daughter would be out loud and proud in front of the cameras proclaiming their innocence.

RadarOnline.com viewed the tape but did not offer to purchase it. The man who made the tape shopped it to several media outlets but did not receive any written offers, we’ve learned.

Now, RadarOnline.com has discovered that the woman who is alleged to be Ashley Biden was set up in an elaborate plot by her “friend.” The man bought cocaine and a hidden camera and brought the cocaine to a party.

He then made sure that he was in correct position to film her when she snorted the drugs.

Click here to read report that the lawyer representing the drug tape seller quit.

The seller had planned to get the woman alleged to be Ashley on tape doing drugs for at least three weeks. The tape was shot this year.

It is clear from the tape that the woman said to be Ashley Biden does not know she is being filmed.

There is nothing illegal about videotaping someone without their permission unless they have an expectation of privacy. For example, some place like the inside of your home by yourself or in a bathroom.  We’re videotaped every day without our permission.  At a traffic light.  At a store by surveillance.

Having someone else in the room with you diminishes any expectation of privacy you might have in the event you decide to start wiping your ass or hoovering up a mirrorful of sweet Colombian Marching Powder in plain view.

Let’s all tilt our heads to the left and wipe that tear out of our eyes.  It’s all gonna be ok, pumpkin.  We’ll announce in the press conference that you’re already seeking treatment at a swanky rehab centre and that this is “a private family” matter and that they hope the press will let this story die so this poor, little rich girl can get the help she so desperately couldn’t have cared less about before this video surfaced.

The press will dutifully oblige and send flowers.  Meanwhile, Andrew Sullivan’s stakeout of Bristol Palin’s vagina will resume it’s regularly scheduled broadcast.

Eww.  This whole topic is just so unpleasant.  Let’s talk about something else!

How about how Obama’s ruining the country?

Oh, wait.  We’re not allowed to talk about that anymore either.

Tell me fellas, when did ya’ll switch out the pajamas for a straitjacket and a mouth gag?

Here’s over 30 stories the New York Times ran on the Bush Twins illegally buying their own completely legal alcohol when they were underage.

Current Biden daughter cocaine stories?  Zero.  A commenter in one NYT blog post about the British press mentions it.

USA Today from the Wayback Machine:

Bush twins in spotlight

Most college kids get away with it. But when you’re famous and shadowed by a stone-faced guardian with a squiggly radio cord coming out his ear, delivering the fake ID with nonchalance is a challenge.

So President Bush’s twin daughters got caught. Last week, Jenna and Barbara Bush landed in the nation’s newspapers and all over TV, one charged with possessing alcohol, the other with using someone else’s ID.

The Bush White House responded to the widespread coverage by taking snide shots at journalists in a news conference and getting testy in private discussions. What they want is simple: The same hands-off coverage that Chelsea Clinton received as a child of the first family. Whether they recognize it or not, that’s exactly what they are getting. Most responsible media avoid writing about presidential children — unless their actions force them into the limelight.

…

It’s not just a family story either. As governor, Bush signed the law that stiffens the penalty for second and third alcohol offenses in Texas. A majority in the U.S. House and Senate voted to withhold federal dollars from states that didn’t stiffen enforcement of under-age drinking laws.

…

Coverage of alcohol and the legal system is not pointless. Both impact millions every year. With Bush’s daughters entangled in the two, expecting media silence is fantasy.

Forbid!  Alcohol and the legal system.  It impacts millions.  To expect media silence is fantasy.

Where’s USA Today, today?  You guessed it:

Welcome to Fantasyland.

Seriously.  I do not even care if she did it.  I want everything decriminalized.   What matters is the selective media blackout when we have clear-cut examples of a double standard.  That and that Joe Biden has gleefully tossed millions in jail and ruined their lives for doing less than his daughter is alleged to have done.

There are quite a few reasons to highlight the story of Biden’s daughter’s alleged flakefest instead of playing this magnanimous “I wouldn’t want it done to me and my kids” card being trotted out by The Chivalrous Knights of the Center Right. And I’m reposting my comment from another site but we all have our reasons.

First, let me second Dan Riehl’s observations here.  The scolding Miss Manners of Centrism have gotten our asses handed to us the last two election cycles.

A. That luxury has not been afforded to the Bush twins over alcohol when they weren’t 21. Mary Cheney’s gayness being brought up during the VP debates.  They put Pattie Davis in Playboy to piss off Daddy didn’t they?  Andrew Sullivan’s conspiratorial stalker-lite snoopings around Bristol Palin’s nether regions and attacking a baby of all things.  Etc., etc.

B. Joe Biden is a big Drug Warrior. That’s a terrific CATO podcast link to Timothy Lynch’s comments about Biden’s selection. Now’s the time to even out that crack vs. coke sentencing disparity. Otherwise, we’ll think that white people getting caught doing cocaine is no big deal but black people doing cocaine in crack form gets them sent up the river. Take one for the team, Ashley. Dad’s Team. Dad’s team kicks your door in at night. Shoots first and asks questions maybe.

C. She’s 27 years old. How long do you get to be a kid in this country? The tape is evidently of her joking that the lines aren’t big enough and from within the year.  Sorry, but when Dad’s running for the big job and you’re out tooting it up like the whistle on the Chattanooga Choo-Choo you’ve got to know these no longer youthful indiscretions are going to bite you and Dad in the ass.

D. In light of the President’s plan to continue raiding pot dispensaries and the increasing drug violence along the Mexican border, Hillary Clinton is in Mexico this week condemning Americans for doing the drugs that have the cartels holding daily bullet festivals. Coincidentally the same kinds of drugs her Brother tries to sell pardons for and Brother-In-Law has been convicted of.  Drugs her husband admitting doing and not inhaling.  Drugs the current President engaged in freely.  Drugs the last President did before Jesus became the ultimate high.

Let’s clean our own houses first, eh?

It’s a story whether you want it to be or not. When did Pajamas Media get to be the filter that tells us what we are and aren’t allowed to talk about. You can reason. You implore. But the only one who gives orders is Boss.

Biden’s helped write the laws that have sent millions to jail. If he can’t stop his own daughter then how the hell are we?

Dad’s running around thanking Spain for all of their help in Iraq.  Spain hates us.   They cut and ran so fast I was afraid that their mothers were going to switch them to safety scissors lest they trip and land on them.  Maybe he should get drug tested too.

Maybe they should all get drug tested.  If it’s good enough for our welfare recipientson government assistance, it’s good enough for our welfare recipients in Congress who just voted themselves another fat raise while millions are getting laid off.

Breitbart’s Conservative Manifesto:

The Huffington Post, Daily Kos and other left-leaning sites benefit from the right’s belief that there are rules and decorum in political debate and civic engagement. Of course, every now and then, a curious right-winger will go in and engage in discussion at a left-wing site, but rarely under purely disingenuous and mass coordinated means.

David Brock, John Podesta, am I missing something?

As a prolific consumer of online content, I value nothing more than the sincere expression of opinion that differs from mine. Sometimes I am even moved or swayed from my dogma. But that was not the type of communication that got Mr. Obama elected.

The American right is in a heap of trouble in a media age that doesn’t shun the goons and liars that have poisoned the political process and won the American presidency by breaking the rules of fair play. It is time to fight back, but it won’t be easy. The enemy is willing to do and say anything in order to win.

And our side simply is not.  Even when we are completely in the right and have non-nefarious motives for doing so.

Yeah right. Tell me Treacher, why do you hate the troops?

For science!

I’m guessing Shumer didn’t face this question on Meet the Press:

Way to go Jammie!

I haven’t been blogging much this weekend. I’m working on some shovel-ready projects in my back yard.

Meanwhile, blogfriend the Lemur King shares some thoughts and a cool graphic the ‘bama’s bowling blunder.

I’m with Mr. King on this. It is a non-issue. Aren’t we righties opposed to the hypersensitive PC speech and mock outrage? The only disgust I feel is how Obama enjoys a media free pass that Bush never could.

A busload of ACORN Commies is spending today on a bus tour – visiting AIG executives’ homes. Anyone got a rocket launcher?

Sweetness and Light has the dope on who’s behind it.

Why do a bunch of Commie Community Agitators need a front group? They’re the ones in power now!

Also, educate yourself on the Cloward-Piven strategy that these Community Agitators are steeped in.

Anyone who has paid attention to the AIG circus for the past few days and has believed the faux outrage from the lying bastards in congress must have been Obamessiah voters. It takes a certain level of frothing class-envy and naiveté to believe that any of what has gone on is (1) authentic or (2) useful.

This afternoon the U.S. House decided (once again) to throw out the U.S. Constitution and tax executive bonuses at a 90% rate for companies who receive government bailout blood money. Government money? Government control.

The class warriors won this vote 328-93. Tennessee Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn was not among the Yes votes, fortunately.

President Hussein knew about these contractually-mandated bonuses way before he started to pretend to be outraged by them. Christopher Dodd ok’d the AIG bonuses weeks ago. They knew about this and have had this bullshit stunt planned ever since.

It’s always the same game with these assholes. Work in conjunction with the leftist media to create an enemy that the idiotic, half-awake American public can hate and blame for their economic circumstance – rooted heavily in class-envy and hate-the-rich rhetoric. The over-the-top news coverage will feature stories of the anger on the street about those greedy white collar criminals so that you will know it’s okay to be angry too. Then you can watch sanctimonious congressbastards grandstand and beat up a CEO while you cheer them on in an envy-fueled and moronic rage.

Continuing with the professional wrestling angle, how can you not be amused when Congress puts Edward Liddy in charge of AIG, then brings him back to Congress so they can yell at him. The whole thing is a joke and the joke is on us.

Then, on top of everything, this circus is being run by Barney Frank (who is one of the primary reasons we’re moving towards a full-on economic depression), who self-righteously demands to know the names of the individuals receiving bonuses so America’s Dim-O-Crack-voting mental patients will know where to focus their homicidal anger and death threats.

I demand the names of all the boy toys who came by the Frank estate to have their rumps pumped while his “roommate” was running the male prostitution ring out of his basement. Tit for tat? Poor choice of words.

The hypocrisy of Congress attacking any private industry executives for their “Arrogance, Incompetence and Greed” is so enormously high that it cannot even be measured by the best scientists Nasa has to offer. There is no group more Arrogant, Incompetent or Greedy than the Federal Government – from the Communists in the White House to the boob at the Treasury Department to the Cowards in the Senate to the Crooks in the House.

Yes, there are a handful of quality Constitutionalists in Washington, but they are VASTLY outnumbered.

The whole bullshit act is meant to distract you while they continue pushing the rest of their Marxist agenda in the background. Don’t buy it. Stay focused on the stammering, conniving Alinskyite behind the curtain.

MORE: AIG Kabuki Theater.

EVEN MORE: With the notable exception of Blackburn (who, mysteriously, being female, has more balls than the rest of the TN House Delegation combined), the Tennessee House delegation failed miserably today.

Jimmy Duncan is usually a solid vote – I guess he wanted to get in on the tax money confiscation while he had a big group to hide behind.

And Zach Wamp, who was kind enough to meet with some of us bloggers this past Monday night, demonstrated that his testes may have not yet descended. This is a disappointment.

This is why so many of us are ready to get out of the GOP. We have a one party system, like it or not.

MORE YET AGAIN: Krumm reminds us why we had a Constitution to begin with. I emphasize the “had” since our “leaders” have apparently never read it, opting instead for Alice Walker’s The Color Purple.

Tomorrow is National Iowahawk Day. I’d be proud to say I knew him way back when – except that I don’t know him. These days, he doesn’t return my calls. He hangs with Australian car buffs and hobnobs with the Hollywood set.

But let me take you back in the early days of the Internet. Those were carefree times when all of us wingnut bloggers set up shop as an alternative to shouting at the TV in the aftermath of 9/11. Dan Rather and Peter Jennings were trying to create the next Vietnam and Bush bashing was in its infancy.

At the time, protobloggers ruled the world. Jonah Goldberg was showing the old guard at National Review that this whole dial-up thing had potential, Drudge was becoming a daily read for conservatives who didn’t know others of their own kind even existed and this guy named Burge at the Cybercast News Service was bringing the funny.

That is when I found this:

*

I wrote him an email of appreciation and I’ll never forget his reply, “Thanks. Remember to keep laughing at the Left.” I was very moved by that and have been a fan ever since.

* Don’t bother to find the original link, the archive is gone. But the Iowahawk is here to stay.

It’s national tea party day, and like T-Man, I have to work so that I can pay taxes to provide more handouts for the Obamabots.

However, I have it on good authority that some Buffet regulars are heading down to Nashville for the Nashville Tea Party. Hopefully they will report back later in the day. If you’re in the middle Tennessee area, get down to Legislative Plaza around Noon to protest the Feds’ attempt to bankrupt the country and control our lives through confiscatory taxation and environmental restrictions on our daily lives. Or, if not, find one in your area.

T-Man’s contribution to Tea Party day is definitely worth a read. It’s “How to Explain Conservatism to Your Squishy Liberal Friends: Individualism ‘R’ Us” by P.J. O’Rourke. My Tea Party Contribution today is to steal T-Man’s Tea Party contribution. It’s blog redistribution. Read and share with your uneducated friends. They need someone besides Katie Couric and Oprah to explain Conservatism in clear and simple terms.

Tea Party Background

As we drift headlong into our new Socialist Paradise as envisioned by Omaraosa Obama, Rahmbo, Dumbo and the rest of the Marxists who have taken over the Central Government, we decided it was time for a facelift that was more in tune with the times.

The new look may have heavy Soviet overtones, but we’ll be working in a mix of all the fantastic Central Governments (past and present) that our new brave nation is modeled after – North Korea, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, North Vietnam, the list goes on. Expect constant change, because I hear change is really hip and what-not.

We are also welcoming a new face to the fold. The lovely Michele (whom you may already know from some of our sister and brother bloggers-in-arms) will be joining us and has the keys to the blog for as long as she so chooses.

I’ll be updating the blogroll and adding/changing stuff regularly, so stand by for chaos. These are the kinds of problems one causes when one is not actually a web designer, but does a redesign just the same.

Maybe it’s these times, I dunno.  But I could really go for some Cox & Forkum right now.  Michael Ramirez, Eric Allie and even Zack Rawsthorne are great in their absence but with all the craziness going on right now I just know C&F could be bumping some knock out material.

I must say, there is a certain frustrating helplessness watching this financial crisis/political circus go down.

The collusion of the corrupt and the clueless is bad enough. But the audacity is overwhelming and I ain’t talking about hope. This decade should be known as the “audacious” one.

Audacity to;

• Create a financial crisis and expect welfare checks in the billions.
• Give billions to those responsible for the crisis with a “don’t spend this on anything stupid” nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
• Skip out on taxes while building an entire political philosophy on a Coke commercial communalism.
• Pay lip service to ethics while opening up the pork gates to everyone ever owed a favor.

Really, what is the common shmoe supposed to do? I know! Haiku!

And Rightly So is opening the blog up to Stimulus Bill Haikus.

Here’s mine.

Can you spare a Bil?

Say, is this tax free?

This is the kind of post that can make your eyes roll back in your head, so go no further unless you’re interested in MySQL databases and the like.
