For Whom The Bag Douches (It Douches For Thee)

February 5th, 2012 at 8:38 am by Brian

Were that these berzerker hobos lying-in-wait “islands to themselves”.  Diminishing the 99% with each douche-tastic display.

Needless to say, when you’ve lost a white, vinegary Leftist like Bill Maher – your baggeth runneth over (sausage link to Noel Sheppard at the invaluable NewsBusters):

‘Baggin’ It

BILL MAHER: Let me ask you about another occupation, because this is – and you would be good on this too, panel -, the occupation, the Occupy Wall Street, because similar to Afghanistan, when you occupy anything for too long people do get pissed off. And as I watch them on the news now I find myself almost agreeing with Newt Gingrich. Like, you know what – get a job. Only because, you know, the people who originally started, I think they went home and now it’s just these anarchist stragglers. And this is the problem when you, you know, when your movement involves sleeping over in the park. You wind up attracting the people who were sleeping over in the park anyway.

Please adjust your nozzles accordingly.  That comment may come as a shock to any CBS watching diaper defiler, NPR latte enema-ed poser, or MSNBC kool-aid jello-shooter.

With your feeble attempts to play PR Ernie Pyles for Obama’s Army of unwashed Overcredentialed Under-educateds. Or your futile, shirt-wrenching efforts to plant victory gardens in the barren earth of these buy-now, pay-never Anarchists for greater state control.  The only thing that stood in the way of tilling such a fertile narrative was the immovable stone of Subject and the Content.

Were that we able to douche you out to sea with them.

Previous Loser Rises From The Dead To Endorse Once And Future Loser

January 27th, 2012 at 2:06 am by Brian

Take that, Newter.  Between Bob Dole and National Review, Romney’s got the limp dick vote all wrapped up:

Dole Goes Nuclear

The Romney campaign sends along a statement by Bob Dole pasted below. Relations between Dole — an establishment figure in the party — and Gingrich were well known to be tense during the 1990s. Here it is:

I have not been critical of Newt Gingrich but it is now time to take a stand before it is too late. If Gingrich is the nominee it will have an adverse impact on Republican candidates running for county, state, and federal offices. Hardly anyone who served with Newt in Congress has endorsed him and that fact speaks for itself. He was a one-man-band who rarely took advice. It was his way or the highway.

Half-dead zombies don’t muster “nuclear” very well.   At best, he can shit his pants and make us all really uncomfortable as he keeps talking and we pretend not to notice.  I’m not a Newt fan by a long stretch but the flood the zone coverage of the establishment right in attacking him just makes me hate Romney more.

Is having the endorsements of the GOP sellouts, paid shills, Brooks Brothers, nancyboys, washed up has-beens and soft-cocked never-were’s the fell blow struck by Team Mittens?

NRO Staff Meeting:  Since we’re out of dick pills, who wants a back rub?

What’s it going to take to get us to buy this used, liberal Masshole.

I’ll tell you what.  I want Mitt Romney to take his starched shirt off.  Take it off. If there’s no magic underwear beneath that suit, I’ll vote for Team Romney.

Because there’s no pill or argument that’s going to make that oddity seem somehow electable.

18 debates and not one question of any depth about Mormonism.  Who’s being setup for the fall?

 

Tea Party Pooper

January 22nd, 2012 at 4:21 pm by Brian

This one gets filed under “Dancing With The One That Bought You“:

The Darjeeling Darling

  The money being left on the nightstand is still common practice, correct?

How does Nikki Haley square the circle of betrayal she committed against the people who elected her?

Romney’s decisive defeat Saturday immediately got dropped in part at the feet of the South Carolina governor, who provided him a high-profile endorsement — though a controversial one among the local tea party forces who propelled her into office in 2010. But in this first test both of translating her appeal and playing on the national stage, she flopped.

As Open Secrets noted back in 2010, Romneybot version 08.b was slow playing the buy in anticipation of Romneybot v11.c needing her endorsement in South Carolina a short year away.  It’s very clever the way Romneybot applies his business acumen to purchasing the important properties early and cheap.

ROMNEY LOVE: Former Massachusetts GOP Gov. Mitt Romney has contributed $42,000 to Republican Nikki Haley’s campaign for governor in South Carolina, Politico reported. Currently, Romney has one federal political action committee and five statewide PACs, each contributing $3,500 to Haley’s campaign.

The maximum amount that PACs can contribute to campaigns is $3,500. However, the South Carolina Ethics Committee found that Romney’s five statewide PACs and one federal PAC could each max out their donations to Haley, despite sharing the same leadership and office space.

If the GOP retains the governorship of South Carolina, the new governor will be highly influential with the party’s base. This fact is not lost to potential 2012 GOP presidential candidates like Romney who are backing Haley in her governorship bid in hopes of an endorsement if they run in the GOP presidential primary in 2012.

I cannot fault the CGI of candidates exploiting his highly-beta tested programming and almost lifelike facial gestures to short fuse the electoral process.  It works on paper.

She may have even hurt Romney’s case in the state — there’s a sense that a handful of state legislators who would have backed Romney but refused to out of principle, simply because they hate Haley so much, and mock her for moves like requiring state employees to answer their telephones, “It’s a great day in South Carolina!”

Romney’s state campaign chairman, State Treasurer Curtis Loftis — a political rival of Haley, despite both backing the same presidential candidate — couldn’t resist taking shots at Haley. Less than an hour before the state’s polls closed, Loftis couched his criticisms of Newt Gingrich in terms that sound surprisingly like the way other local operatives describe Haley.

Any “Tea Party” candidate should understand that the establishment hates them.  They don’t like you but they still bought you.  Because you’re charming or something?  Riiiiight.

Haley’s and DeMint’s purchase of Romneybot’s operating license for 2011 shows that they clearly did not read the Tea Party EULA.  Any damages to their electoral hard drives as a result of the software conflict between Romneybot v.11c and the Operating System that got them up running in the first place is purely intentional.

November 11th, 2011 at 10:22 am by Cranky

Here is a clear headed quote from the reliably anti-corporate, pro-union, teabagger hatin’ New York Times.

On the surface, Greece and Italy seem remarkably alike. Both countries have entrenched patronage networks that predate the European Union by centuries and suffocating regulations and work rules. And both Mr. Papademos, 64, and Mr. Monti, 68, the president of Bocconi University in Milan, have close ties to European Union officials, who are taking a strong hand in managing the affairs of both countries because the fate of the euro hangs in the balance.

Both face daunting changes. In Italy, a new government will be asked to carry out labor and tax reforms and other growth-enhancing measures. It will also have to write a new electoral law.

Substitute New Jersey, the AFL-CIO and the EPA for Italy and Greece and you have a National Review article.

Snatching Defeat From The Jaws of Victory

October 23rd, 2011 at 10:19 am by Brian

Is everything screwed up enough for everyone yet?

In the high profile wake of Iraq’s new corruptocracy kicking us out of the country we liberated from Saddam Hussein and Hamid Karzai’s candid admission that he would rather side with Pakistan against us is there any other reasonable conclusion to arrive at other than our troops should not wait until the end of the year to evacuate?  The hardline Iranian tied backers that constitute the new Iraqi Caliphate are grudgefucking their goats at the opportunity to put US soldiers on trial.  In Karzai’s case, the man would have been killed long ago had we not been the shield to protect him from the eternal poppy field in the sky.

And this is the thanks we get?

Not one soldier should expect to waste another drop of sweat to pay for Obama’s re-election campaign and his spin for this unmitigated cludterf*ck will be magnificent.  He killed Osama Bin Laden with the special forces and intelligence apparatus he inherited from his predecessor and assassinated Qaddafi in Days, Not Weeks(tm) (in many months actually) for the crime of him not being the ruler of Syria.

Excuse me.  Obama killed Qaddafi once Qaddafi was killed.  It was a NATO operation when he was still at large.

He brought our troops home from Iraq (after getting us kicked out) and Afghanistan is siding with the people he’s been bombing with drone strikes.  It is truly amazing what can be accomplished when the media doesn’t hound the President for following the letter of international law.

Pouring water on the head of a non-uniformed terrorist captured on a battlefield?  High crimes ready for impeachment!  An extra-judicial killing of a US citizen who was a propagandist for our enemies?  Courage.  Leadership.  Hemming and hawing about means to an end if that.  John Walker Lindh was lucky he wasn’t caught in Obama’s time.  Since he was caught under Bush he’s a hero to the Left.  If it were a few years later his bloody mug would be pasted at the top of the NY Times with a “Got Him!” 72-font headline.

This could have all gone very differently.  Instead, China and Russia got the Iraqi oil contracts (thanks to John Kerry) and the Taliban was overthrown so that we could build the country up and hand it back to them better than new. This is what, somehow, qualifies Hillary Clinton as some kind of foreign policy expert.  At the State Department, she’s moved from Carrot Top “Reset Button” prop diplomacy and now we’re on to charades.

It’s enough to make you want to vote for Ron Paul.

 

 

Of Electoral Prickteases, Chris Christie and Otherwise

September 29th, 2011 at 12:26 am by Brian

For Jabba’s sake will you people leave this poor man alone?  He doesn’t want to run for President.  Or for fitness.  He doesn’t have any fire in his belly.  Or vegetables.

TRENTON— A top Republican said Wednesday that Gov. Chris Christie really is not running for president, even as political commentators began to use sexual imagery to discuss Christie flirting with the possibility.

That’s going to be a hard image to shake.

Lawrence E. Bathgate II of Lakewood, who has led fundraising for three presidents and a presidential nominee, said that after a series of high-level telephone calls, he is convinced that Christie is not headed into the GOP primaries for president.

“I heard him say that he wasn’t running last night. Everything I know, and everyone I’ve talked to — and it doesn’t get much closer than the people on the plane with him — say he’s not running,” Bathgate said in an interview.

Yes, it’s cheap taking shots at Christie.  To be fair, I’ll take cheap shots at Sarah Palin shortly.  But when he starts holding court about foreign policy – don’t start talking about exceptionalism and why we don’t have any but that you’re not going to do anything about it.  Are people on the right so hard up for a candidate that they’ve turned chubby chaser?

Same with Sarah Palin.  Go sell your books.  Go raise your kids.  Three and a half years of “I’m running / I’m not sure I’m running” blue balls are enough for me thank you very little.  Quit dry humping conservatives for attention.  My leg can’t take it anymore.

Did Pat Robertson Get A Tan?

September 26th, 2011 at 9:23 pm by Brian

I don’t know how else to explain such insensitive nonsense:

Mr. Obama on Sunday took a swipe at Texas Governor Rick Perry for his skepticism regarding climate change, pointing to “a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change” as exemplification of the weakness of the Republican presidential field.

“I mean, has anybody been watching the debates lately?” he asked at a campaign fundraiser in California. “You’ve got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change,” Obama said.

When Pat Robertson blames natural disasters on people not living right according to his definition he’s summarily mocked and disowned from all quarters.

Maybe Pat Robertson isn’t the right example.  Maybe President Fred O’Phelps is more appropriate.  Community agitator stands on the charred remnants of one of the 1500 homes lost with his fluorescent  “Gaia Hates Texans” sign to mock the thousands displaced and hundreds living in shelters.  Like he said to his black folk at the CBC this week, he’s listens to “some of ya’ll” but he’s not the President of “all of ya’ll”.  You  can only keep his inner-Jeremiah Wright down for so long.

This is beyond simply having no class when Obama rejected designating those wildfires a national disaster so many months ago.  But that’s what you get with a liar who acts in bad faith.  When Chicago falls and skins it’s knee he’ll be on Air Force one within the hour to wipe it’s snotty, stuck-up nose.

As I recall, there are some undocumented workers in Texas.  I’m shocked he’s willing to throw those illegal votes away for a laughline at a fundraiser.  And they did laugh.  If two or three Paultardian ghouls cheering the thought of someone dying for not buying health insurance in a crowd of thousands is talkshow fodder for a week then a much higher number taking joy at the billions in damage, lives lost and homes destroyed from a downed powerline and drought are not ghouls how exactly?

Hypocrisy Attaaaaaack Watch:  Via Jake Tapper at ABC -

The White House today added to the president’s criticism the night before of the audiences at Republican presidential debates, chastising the GOP candidates for staying silent in the face of objectionable eruptions by some members of the audience.

At a fundraiser in California on Sunday night, President Obama said of the debates, “You’ve got audiences cheering at the prospect of somebody dying because they don’t have health care and booing a service member in Iraq because they’re gay. That’s not reflective of who we are.”

The boos and applause came from what sounded like less than a handful of individuals, it should be noted.

I assure you – it’s exactly who you punk bitches are.  A couple of Paultard ghouls cheer a “theoretical” death vs. the President of the Goddamned United States of America cracking jokes about actual Americans dying.  Somewhat delightfully, Mr. Tapper reminds:

Earlier this month, Carney refused to condemn Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa Jr., who called Tea Party members “sons of bitches” at a labor event the president attended.

“I understand that there is a ritual in Washington that, you know, somebody says something and you link the associations and then everybody who has an association with him or her is somehow — has to avow or disavow it,” Carney said, adding that the president wasn’t on stage at the time and “didn’t hear it. … Mr. Hoffa speaks for himself. … The president speaks for himself.”

This ritual is rooted in tribalism I bet.  Now, if House Republicans will just quit being so partisan they can get down to voting on another half a trillion dollars in wasteful spending to some more green energy Enrons and bailout some more signing bonuses for union thug sons of bitches at their failing auto companies.  And Mr. High Minded Centrist stands above it all, committed to working to solve all of our problems he created.

 

 

 

 

The Tribe Has Spoken

September 26th, 2011 at 3:08 am by Brian

It’s not often that I find myself thinking about Chris Matthews.  Sure as we approach Halloween and I see more straw-haired dummies sitting on bales of hay it happens more often than not.  Or the occasional bout of sciatic pain that results in tingling of the extremities of a distinctly non-political nature.  Sure.  It can happen.

But when I heard about The Obamessiah’s blatant race huckstering to the socialists and Marxist sympathizers at the Congressional Black Caucus, I was indeed reminded of Sissy because of his description of Tea Partiers not so long ago:

Much like mainstream media coverage of this year’s Tea Parties, Matthews and “Hardball” guests Norah O’Donnell and Salon’s Joan Walsh made an issue of how “white” the crowd was at a Palin book signing event in Michigan.

This is a largely white — almost no minorities in this crowd,” reported MSNBC’s O’Donnell live from the scene.

Matthews reiterated, “Well, they look like a white crowd to me,” later claiming, “I think there is a tribal aspect to this thing, in other words, white vs. other people.”

 

Technically Incorrect: Though both "white" and a Tribe

Ooga booga.  The albino tribe chucking their boomspears towards the skies and their dog-whistling smoke signals codewords.  Terrifyingly patriotic and god fearing at the same time as they took afternoons away from work to protest a black president big government and a black president out of control spending and an unconstitutional power grab by a black president of their healthcare.  In fact, if it was a white president doing all of these things these less than noble savages would have been perfectly fine with it.

Not to distract from the theme, but what am I to make of these race-based crowds gathering to plot to exclude other races from exercising their bigoted franchise?

President Obama’s campaign is developing an aggressive new program to expand support from ethnic minority groups and other traditional Democratic voters as his team studies an increasingly narrow path to victory in next year’s reelection effort.

Operation Vote will function as a large, centralized department in the Chicago campaign office for reaching ethnic, religious and other voter groups. It will coordinate recruitment of an ethnic volunteer base and push out targeted messages online and through the media to groups such as blacks, Hispanics, Jews, women, seniors, young people, gays and Asian Americans.

None dare call it “tribalism” it seems.  Instead of “dogwhistles”, Big Bro “O” can scare up some chain rattles to add some rhetorical umph! to his firepit chats about the slavery to come when the almighty Clock Is Turned Back ™.  The Ghost of Jim Crow should evacuate the bladders of the recipients of his version of voodoo economics in a trail all the way to the voting booth.

Getting Warmer: A Tribe Called Quest

 

After all, with black nationwide unemployment at a 27 year high and the vicinity of 16.7%, it’s got to be somebody else’s fault other than the guy in the funny headdress because he’s half the same color as you.  Because that’s not racist.  High Economic Priest Timmeh “The Pale Rider” Gheitner can don the ceremonial bone in his nose, stomp his tiny feet, wrench his pencil neck and warn of big falling sky if another Trillion dollars from as-not-yet-written bill isn’t passed immediately, or at least a month from now after Chief’s next much needed double jumbo jet visionquest to the oppressively black Martha’s Vineyard.

Addressing the (ed. – somewhat tribally blacks only) caucus’s annual dinner Saturday night, Obama reeled off more statistics showing how he said his jobs bill would help millions of black Americans. He lamented the community’s steep economic troubles, telling cheering audience members that he needs their help, despite any discouragement they have felt.

“I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain,” he said. “I am going to press on. I expect all of you to march with me. . . . Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on.”

He said, “Between all these rounds of golf, I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself.”  He said, “Don’t change Chiefs in midstream”.  And if he just so happens to set back race relations in this country 60 years to win a 2nd term well that’s just the Saltine calling the Townhouse “cracker”.  It sure beats running on his record.

Almost There: I still don't see any marching shoes.

Either way, sewing racial division so that his slavish followers will paypal their EBT cards to him is the quickest way to Make-It-Rain Dance.  Whatever you do Chrissy, don’t refer to this as tribal behavior.

 

Go Default, Go!

July 31st, 2011 at 10:08 am by Preston Taylor Holmes

Prior to this week, I was hoping that common sense would prevail (obviously I was living in dreamy-dreamland) in the debt debate and that something like the original Cut, Cap and Balance would be passed and we could get on the road to semi-recovery.

I should have known that even a milquetoast approach such as this would be too much for the Dims and the GOP corruptocrats to swallow. Now these egg-sucking dogs have spent the week since fighting over two plans that are complete crap and cut nothing.

Even though we are not going to actually default on our debt payments, the media and the Dims continue to use that word to scare you into swallowing anything they pass and call “cuts” which is complete B.S. Their only concern is that they are able to keep sailing the seas on the U.S.S. Gravytrain all the while stealing from you, me, our kids and our grandchildren.

Even so, the deal under discussion offers wins for both sides. Republicans and their tea party supporters would get spending cuts at least as large as the amount the debt ceiling would grow and avoid any tax increases. For President Barack Obama and Democrats, there would be no renewed battle over extending the borrowing limit until after next year’s elections.

Under the possible compromise, the debt limit would rise by an initial $1 trillion.

Their goal? To make it through the next election so the theft can continue. It doesn’t really matter, they’re not going to do enough to avoid the downgrade anyway, which may be just as bad as a default.

Tennesseans, don’t worry though. We’re good for at least six weeks if they can’t cobble together a fleece deal.

“We’ve looked at what happens if the funding totally gets cut off, if they shut down, and we’re actually in pretty good shape with how our payment flow works,” Haslam said. “But it obviously impacts the credit ratings and funding that comes from Washington.”

Emkes said “we can go beyond six weeks” in keeping the state’s fiscal house in order even with an impasse in Washington.

But Haslam said there would be “major problems” if an impasse continues for a longer term.

“If there’s not an agreement during that period of time, I think the world explodes,” Emkes said.

So you’ve got a few weeks still to stock up on those critical items – food, water, supplies and most importantly, ammo. This is also a disturbing reminder about how dependent we are on the Feds for 44% of our budget. That, in itself, is nauseating.

According to McNally, 44 percent of the state’s current year budget relies on federal funding, or $14 billion of the overall $30.8 billion. Approximately 92 percent of federal funding is contained in only seven departments, with the majority going to TennCare at 44 percent, Human Services at 19.6 percent and Education at 14 percent.

The federal money, passing through the state budget, goes to hospitals, nursing homes, schools, unemployment benefits and multiple other purposes.

Until the corruptocrats in D.C. start listening to Sens. Coburn, Demint and Paul, we’re going down the toilet for good. For a country that has allowed this to go on for decades (and even worse, would elect a street-trash community-organizing nothing like Obama), we may damn well deserve it.

UPDATE: Dammit.

Boehner, Boner

July 27th, 2011 at 12:41 pm by Preston Taylor Holmes

Poor John Boehner. His whole little establishment faux-conservative world is crumbling down around him. It’s no wonder he’s upset.

Scrambling for votes on his troubled deficit package, Speaker John Boehner bluntly told wavering GOP lawmakers Wednesday morning to “get your ass in line” behind his debt ceiling bill.

Boehner predicted Senate Democrats will fold and pass the Boehner debt bill if it can get through the House.

“This is the bill,” Boehner informed a closed-door meeting of House Republicans on Wedneday morning. “I can’t do this job unless you’re behind me.”

Here we have a weepy country-club Republican who is playing the same game they’ve been playing for years. Lying to the public, pretending to care about limited government. Creating bills that allege to have budget cuts, but in reality, suck. This is the liberal Bush-style Republican that we don’t have any use for. His little buddy Eric Cantor is no better.

“The debt limit vote sucks,” Cantor said, according to two sources cited by CNN. The Virginian then reportedly added that House Republicans needed to quit their “grumbling” and come together.

Cantor said members had three choices: risk default, pass Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s plan, or “call the Preisdent’s bluff” by passing Boehner’s plan, according to Politico.

I’ll go with choice number one, Eric. That “grumbling” you hear is the sound of principled opposition, something you and John are unfamiliar with. As long as you faux conservatives continue to play games with the future of this country and freedoms of my children, I will oppose your B.S. at every turn.

The real problem that Boehner and Cantor have is, thanks to the 2010 elections and the tea party, they are saddled now with members who actually have core principles, unlike themselves. When some people say they want limited government and individual freedom, they actually mean it. In 2010, voters did not flood the House and Senate with Republicans because we wanted the same old crap that you’ve been dishing out for years. We actually sent conservatives to clean up your mess.

When you drooling dolts put together a bill that doesn’t even cut as much spending as Harry Reid’s, you prove that you are either stupid or don’t understand 2nd-grade math. Either way, you need to go.

No wonder a majority of Americans think that Congress is corrupt. That’s because they are.

UPDATE: Hey John McCain, you’re already a complete loser – do yourself a favor and don’t remind us that you’re a prick as well.

UPDATE 2: Payback’s a bitch. Boehner and the establishment GOP are going to make conservative Jim Jordan pay for not “getting his ass in line”. These petty little bitches in GOP leadership need to be booted out on their worthless duffs. Yesterday.

Your Chair, Madame

June 26th, 2011 at 11:47 am by Brian

Remind me again – who was it who didn’t pass a budget for two years prior to her ouster as the Speaker of the House of Representin’?

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will demand a seat in the table for the final talks on the national debt limit, putting a strong liberal voice in the room.

Pelosi and House Democrats were left out of the negotiations between President Obama and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) last year that extended nearly all of the Bush tax rates though 2012.

Pelosi didn’t participate in the final high-level talks over fiscal 2011 spending levels either.

But now she’s demanding her say at a time when many of her House Democratic colleagues are disappointed in Obama’s level of consultation with their caucus.

I’m sorry.  I thought the point of budget negotiations was to actually accomplish something.  Not to interject “a strong liberal voice” to ensure nothing gets done.

These protestations from the Iron Bitch who locked Republicans out of all discussions during her Reign of Error, capped off with a stroll across the capitol with a super-sized gavel while she laughed and laughed, is so rich that it deserves a tax cut.  “A strong liberal voice”, Alzheimer’s what’s the difference?

Me Neither: Remember when Madame House Frau Natasha Pelosovic allowed a "strong conservative voice" in healthcare negotiations?

Or, perhaps we should just pass the new budget so she can find out what’s in it.  Or, just “deem it” to have passed without even having to vote on it.

Here you go, Ma’am.  I found a chair that’s just about your speed.  Try not to bang it too loudly.

Code Pink approved

Now I realize that picture is a bit insensitive and probably violating ADA standards given Great-Grandmother Pelosivic’s disabilities.  Should budget negotiations drag on too long, we can make accommodations so that she can still participate without sacrificing her dignity.

Flexing her muscle, Pelosi asked for and got a meeting with Obama on Thursday morning to discuss the next phase in the negotiations.

At her age, she shouldn’t be flexing so much though I do concede that she knows how to make a stink if she doesn’t get her way.

Is This Country Worth Saving? (Part 2)

June 11th, 2011 at 10:29 am by Brian

Violent Felon And His Gump Humping Accomplice

In what, unfortunately, is becoming part of a continuing series.

When last we left our listing ship of state, an Iraqi War Vet was intentionally murdered in his home by a SWAT team who wanted no prisoners and has since taken a vow of silence that would make monks envious.

Since then, our beknighted Supreme Court has held that evading our increasingly militarized police force in itself constituting a “violent felony” and the Department of Education (which shouldn’t even exist) has discovered that it has the power to issue warrants for arrest and maintain a standing SWAT team to enforce Collections of past due student loans with deadly force or other non-violent offenses.

I can only assume that Chief Injustice Roberts and Injustice Alito will soon find that inability to payback the loan on your education constitutes a violent felony as well and is “inherently dangerous” because you have created a situation where the SWAT team might kill you.

This is not America.  Our Supreme Court has a prevailing statist homodoxy with no regard for the 4th Amendment or individual liberty.   I blame the Harvard/Yale monopoly on the court.  Sure we’ve got two Italians, a black, a wise Latina, two lesbians, a clatch of metrosexual crackers and a flip-flopping Father Time but they all have one thing in common – Homodoxy of Education.   They all went to the same two schools and have never been exposed to a world outside of those Ivy League enclaves.  We’re a country of 300 Million plus people.  How can 9 people from two schools possibly be the one size fits all approach when they’ve all mutated from the same intellectual petri dish?

It’s time for a moratorium on Harvard and Yale being anointed to lead our country and the court. The Egghead-ocracy has failed or else we wouldn’t be complaining.  We’re living in The Simpson’s “They Saved Lisa’s Brain” episode with deadly results.

Sometimes evading the police is a necessity.  Ask any woman traveling alone who has been pulled over by an unmarked police car.  Almost anyone would tell her that if she cannot identify the car behind her as a police car that she should continue driving, following the rules of the road, to a well-lit public area.  By the standard the Supreme Court has enacted this week, any criminal impersonating a police officer has a new weapon in their rape arsenal provided by our illustrious Supreme Court.

I also take it that now any time a van full of illegal aliens  refuses to pull over that they will all be charged with felonies and deported, correct?

Why are our cars designed to travel faster than the speed limit?  Why are we even given the choice if the penalty for using it is the loss of your voting rights and ability to get a job? And above all else, why are we surrendering individual freedom to people who have been shown time and time again to fall far from sainthood and abuse it?

The Supreme Court is making police officers the new Priesthood.  Instead of Scarlet A’s on our chests they mark Scarlet DUI’s to the sung glory of MADD madrigals.  Instead of molesting altar boys, they coerce sexual favors from motorists in exchange for leniency.  Not all, but enough to not give the entire profession a pass on infringing on everyone else’s rights.

Our highest court has been compromised and with it our freedom is on hiatus for their lifetime appointments.  The Dark Ages of American Liberty.

You’ve got to rove Arrec Bawrin.  Sure, it’s been several decades since Glengarry Glen Ross, but he’s still the closer.  Are you interested???  I know you are:

Which brings me to Anthony Weiner.

The Internet, as I understand it, is best for sharing information, ideas and even feelings. We send our thoughts and feelings, our very spirit, over the airwaves, with astounding velocity. At times, as human beings, we want to attach the body to the feelings, as well. Photos of ourselves and loved ones. Pets. The view out our window. The image of a child’s purity.

Barring any further revelations about the underage purity of the children Mr. Weiner of the Incalculable  Certitude, may or may not have spanked his Hebrew National to – that might have been Mr. Barrwin’s most unfortunate turn of phrase in this curiously unsolicited defense of the wanky Weiner.

Photos to find love. To find sex.

My thought on Weiner is that he is a very busy man.

For high functioning men like Weiner and other officials who have lived through such scandals, who are constantly on the go, that leaves one tried and true source of a reliable high. The affirmation that comes when someone lets you know they want to sleep with you. Or even cyber-sleep with you.

“High functioning” weiners, aside the running sexting joke is that no one ever knew if the person on the other end was a hot co-ed or a beefy bear with the keyboard of a slutty angel.

One busy gentlemen may feel a bit betrayed if he comes home from his busy day at work to find his missus jilling off to a tattooed, unemployed construction worker who’s milking the coconuts to his veiny palm tree on the other end of the Skype connection.  Much less half a dozen construction workers.

Who can say?  Working for Hillary Clinton might be a walk in the park.  A park fraught with flashers in trenchcoats.  Or the ever-gracious  frotteurs on the subway who, above all others, understand how pressed for time you are.

This is sex for many people now. No time for Mateus and cheap spaghetti. No time for slowly moving toward one another with a combination of hope and caution, lust and integrity. One can push a button and get something beyond porn. Porn is essentially two dimensional. One sees and hears. Internet sexting can be perceived as three dimensional by adding the component of “feel”, regardless of how cheap and unearned those feelings are. That person on the screen is doing whatever they’re doing… just for you.

Is this a defense or a confessional?

We tell ourselves that these devices help us communicate more effectively. What they actually do is allow us to bypass the person lying right next to us, across the room from us or at an airport heading home to us, in order to meet our immediate, even inconvenient, needs. To bypass their moods, their current view of us and their own desires, or lack thereof.

Weiner is a modern human being. So he ensnared himself in things that modern humans do. When I first heard about his problems, I snickered and made jokes, too. Now, I’m sad for him, his family, his district and his colleagues.

Let he who is without sin…

So only the atheists should be allowed to criticize Weiner by Barwin’s standard.  Preferably ones who aren’t so modern or busy.  Lazy Luddites who are fapping in the ways of our forefathers.

Through all of this, there is an unreasonable assumption that Weiner only played Hide The Salami with himself and throughout his engagement and marriage that he never indulged in an extra-marital affair.  He’s earned it, right?

Running a self-styled gauntlet of leftarded bimbos and pornstars stands he, Integritous Masturbatus.

An undeserved presumption of innocence for someone who played fast and loose with anyone on Twitter who paid him a compliment.

Damn you, sexy Internet.  I’m a married man!  And oh so busy.

 

A Man and His Camera Phone

May 8th, 2011 at 6:43 pm by Cranky

Some signs just annoy me. Not sure why.



Is this the ironic 40? Maybe it’s scare quotes. You know how those “40″ year olds are…



Is this supposed to reassure me? It’s like the no “firearms beyond this point” sign I saw at a post office. You brought the gun this far, odds are you’re in for the haul. The sign won’t cut it.
However, if the sign also said, “but you, our customer, should consider doing so as well”, then maybe it could be seen as a bit more friendly.



Is this a riddle? Tell me O Great Sphinx of the Department of Parking and Revenue. If I don’t park for two hours, do I attain immortality?

You Can’t Rape The Willing

April 30th, 2011 at 10:44 am by Brian

This lover’s spat between the San Francisco Chronicle and Obama is getting out of hand.  In Tennessee, at least one party has to be arrested if the police arrive to a domestic violence call and see evidence of physical injury.  It’s the law.

However, it’s doubtful that Eric Holder is going to be flashing his blue lights or that Janet Incompetano will ride to the rescue in her extra-husky black wranglers for this collar.

The White House says a San Francisco Chronicle reporter broke the rules when she put down her pen and picked up a video camera to film a protest. The newspaper says the Obama administration needs to join the 21st century.

The conflict hit the newspaper’s front page Friday with a story about coverage of the protest during President Barack Obama’s speech last week at a private fundraiser.

It highlights the perils that arise when traditional arrangements between news organizations and politicians meet the modern reality that anyone with a smartphone can become a video journalist.

“Modern Day Reality” means a camera?  What is this – 1885?

That “traditional arrangement” would be to protect the comfortable in exchange for access.  Like Eason Jordan of CNN covering up Saddam Hussein’s atrocities to keep his Baghdad bureau open, every other media outlet in the U.S. has reached a similar arrangement for Barack Hussein so that they can keep snapping their pictures of his head in front of the presidential seal so that it resembles a halo.  And to photoshop out the horns as agreed.

I thought when you wanted to Change America ™ that “traditional arrangements” went out the window.  What was supposed to be an open marriage has not-so-suddenly become an abusive relationship.  Buck up, sugar.  He’s still such a catch.

Dan Gillmor, a media critic and head of the Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship at Arizona State University, said the White House needs to update the rules for its pool reports to match the realities of 21stcentury reporting.

But he also said newspapers should do more to embrace the new reality that amateurs are capable of providing their own records of events, showing a wider range of perspectives. For example, he said the Chronicle could focus more on providing a platform for amateur video, which would expand the definition of the press pool to anyone with a video camera.

In a Syrian sense, Obama’s the Reformer (like Assad) and this is really the SF Chronicle’s fault anyway.  Just look at how they were dressed all with a tape recorder and flip camera.  If you’re a reporter, you know not to go out in public all dolled up like that.

Put some ice on it, honey.   After all, no one in the media went into journalism to be objective.

The entire news media has a black eye today and they totally earned it.

Promises, Promises

April 6th, 2011 at 2:49 pm by Brian

 

The Jimmy Swaggart of Class War continues to make promises he’ll refuse to keep:

Disgraced politician John Edwards is said to be deeply depressed – to the point of being suicidal - over the prospect of a criminal trial that could end with him being jailed if found guilty.

The 57-year-old former Presidential candidate reportedly told a close friend: ‘I won’t go to jail. I’d kill myself first!’

I get so tired of politicians who refuse to tell the truth and only pander to what I want to hear.
So let me get this right, the felons are good enough to vote for you but they’re not good enough for you to hang out with.  Classic Edwards.
I guess I know which of the Two Americas he prefers.
In keeping with Edwards’ ambulance chasing theme, his former staffer Andrew Young who, if you’ll recall, he ordered to take the fall and fallaciously admit to cheating on his wife to protect the candidate described the sex tape thusly:

According to the Wall Street Journal Mr Young has described the tape as like ‘watching a traffic pile-up occur in slow motion – repelling but also transfixing.’

How auto-erotic.

The Sheriff and The Great Train Robbery

March 26th, 2011 at 10:25 pm by Cranky

So Vice President Biden is being feted for bringing home enough bacon to complete Amtrak’s $37.7 million breakfast.

Saturday was the exception as Delaware’s most famous politician saw the 104-year-old building renamed in his honor. The building on French Street will be referred to as the Joseph R. Biden Jr. Railroad Station, although it still will be known as the Wilmington station on train timetables.

Sure, why not? Biden has been an enthusiastic mass-transit populist and Amtrak has been a faithful money pit. In other words – a match made in heaven.

Unfortunately, like other liberal visions of the Divine, it just doesn’t work.

Let’s say, your graphic designer sister from California is visiting and she would like nothing more than a day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan. Let’s also say you are a cranky neo-conservative but you’re willing to suck up your political sensibilities for a day and enjoy the culture with your little sister and lovely wife.

Since we’re totally suspending belief, try to imagine that your reluctant tour guide considers taking the train. You see, dear reader, I’ve been to New York City a few times and there are many reasons not to take a car. Navigating through the taxis can give you an ulcer the approximate size and shape of Ed Koch’s head. Also, being an East Coast transplant, I’m still getting over the sticker shock of bridge tolls, highway tolls and parking prices.

So this is what you’re looking at:

Gas: 120 miles / 20 miles per gallon X $3.75 /gallon = $22.50
Today gas is $3.55 and my mileage is actually closer to 24 mpg. (I’m trying to be generous.)

Road tolls: Round trip on the scenic New Jersey Turnpike $7.70 X 2 = $15.40

Tunnel toll: Lincoln Tunnel (going back to New Jersey is free!!) $8.00

Parking in the Big Apple: Good luck getting the $25 parking near the Museum. Nope the standard pound-me-in-the-tush rate and a little walk for us. $45.00

So….

Gas 22.50
New Jersey Turnpike 15.40
Tunnel 8.00
Parking 45.00
Total $90.90

Not cheap by normal people standards, but we are talking about New York here.

And the alternative – Amtrak from the Sheriff Joe station to Penn Station: $165.00

So there you have it – a $75 premium to do the right thing and partake of the nation’s best mass transit system.

Out of State Bump For Me, Not For Thee

March 21st, 2011 at 1:26 pm by Brian

I try to keep my individual outrages in order.  This particular one was from last week after the Commie-Media sued Wisconsin’s Gov. Walker for not producing thousands of e-mails for them to pour through – chop! chop! – within a couple of days of their request in a feeble attempt to claim he was lying about any sensible person rejecting the violent, sexual advances of union thugs towards the taxpayers.  If I may paraphrase Joe Biden’s rapist view of policy differences.

Turns out, Walker was right:

Gov. Scott Walker was right: The angry crowds in Madison didn’t tell the whole story of how Wisconsinites felt.

In the week after Walker announced his plan to dramatically curtail public employees’ collective bargaining rights in the state budget repair bill, a wide majority of the emails to him expressed support, an analysis of those emails indicates.

Now let’s be sure to define Walker’s truth down so as to provide some measure of cover for their Brothers In Harms.

But that support was significantly boosted by emails from pro-Walker senders from outside Wisconsin.

It goes on much later to show an e-mail-by-e-mail vetting revealing such a wide margin (almost 2:1) within the state of Wisconsin as to dispatch any Leftist media assertion to the contrary.

And, oh, one more thing.  Who took the tally of the “protesters” to see how many had been bussed in to support the Unionists?  Seems they weren’t the voice of Wisconsin after all.  Make that your headline.

Sue the unions to get the tally.  Best believe they know every astroturfed ringer Cheesehead that got loaded onto the purple bus.  The purple bus with professional squeaky wheels.

RELATED: It’s still my opinion that at least latently the purpose of the Commie-Media’s lawsuit was to get the names of the Anti-Union supporters to pass off to Unions for harassment purposes.

If just one name of the private correspondence sent to Walker is released then we know that the first motive of the lawsuit was to manufacture a pseudoscandal about Walker lying over support.  The second is so more Union Police Officers can send threatening boycott letters to area businessmen to imply they won’t respond to their emergency calls.

The New Chickenhawks And A Coalition of Broads

March 20th, 2011 at 10:07 am by Brian

I do believe that your local recruiter’s station is still open if you want to support your President’s undeclared war on Libya.

I also hope that chiropractors are covered under the new Obamacare law given the twists and contortions of the antiwar Left, who never took advantage of a moment to STFU during Bush’s year long Rush To War ™ in Iraq, versus Obama “The Poet Warrior’s” week long, “cautious” unconstitutional intervention in a civil war that’s technically not our business at all.

What Fantasyland is this that we’re living in?

I just saw John Kerry and Carl Levin on Meet the Press saying that we’re doing all this, took our time to do it right with our Broad Coalition ™ or rather a Coalition of Broads and that at the end of the day we’re pretty cool with expending a lot of blood and treasure to leave Qaddafi in power.   This, for some reason, only makes sense if you’re a Liberal Democrat so may be our house commies can riddle me that one.

Funny that among all those consulted, Congress wasn’t. Congressman John Larson of Connecticut, head of the Democratic Caucus, says, “They consulted the Arab League. They consulted the United Nations. They did not consult the United States Congress,” one Democrat lawmaker said of the White House. “They’re creating wreckage, and they can’t obviate that by saying there are no boots on the ground. … There aren’t boots on the ground; there are Tomahawks in the air.”

Also, that in two closed to questions speeches that Obama has made the case for intervention so painfully clear that only an unAmerican dupe would deny him seeking justice for Libyan rebels of undetermined democratic commitment.  Even if you did support them it’s too little too late and if you leave Qaddafi in power without an occupation would you expect that he would not hunt them down afterwards?

This is beyond senseless and no high-minded journalists seem able to latch onto this headsnapping reversal of course from the people who opposed Iraq and Afghanistan for a decade.

Obama just asked US soldiers to risk their lives for nothing, in pursuit of a goal that is undefined if not ill-defined that puts their mission under the leadership and mandate of the worthless United Nations.

The same United Nations that is authorizing us to attack the chairman of their own Human Rights Council with such a narrowly defined scope as to be more of a threat to our own soldiers than to Libya’s.

God, I know I ask for too much as it is being that you have no real obligation to help me at all but please save our people from these professional morons and two-faced traitors.

In lieu of divine intervention, I will gladly accept MoveOn.org, Code Pink, International ANSWER and Women in Black anti-war rallies against this imperial President with added calls for his immediate impeachment.

Hilarity: Tubby Riefenstahl rips into Obama as if he was packaged in a Hostess Twinkie wrapper. Sacrelicious.

I guess he won’t be taking credit for all of the voters he steered towards Obama now, huh?  Success has a thousand Dreams of My Father but failure is a Kenyan orphan apparently.

Obama’s War: Day 1 – Operation Hope & Same

March 19th, 2011 at 6:31 pm by Brian

How’s that change workin’ out for you?

Nice Nobel Prize You Got There. It would be a shame if something happened to it.

Evidently, liberals are having so much fun in Iraq and Afghanistan that two wars aren’t enough.   No congressional vote, no weapons of mass destruction, no nuclear weapons to speak of, no imminent attack on the U.S. or an ally.

Screw it.  Let’s have another war!

Brazil better be prepared too lest our media fire an Intercontinental Bigot-namecalling Missile in their direction for holding violently racist tea party rallies against our black president.   A nation of rotten, filthy racists I say.  Koch Bros. funded, Iranian-coddling Trannyphiles the lot of them.

“Operation:  Odyssey Dawn” sounds like the start of a bad day.  A long, bad day.  A quixotic journey that’s, let me be clear, only just begun.

How about Operation:  Infinite Flip-Flop?

Operation:  Eternal Hypocrite

Operation:  Reluctant Cowboy

Operation:  Shotgun Wedding

Operation:  Guilted Into It

Operation:  Tardy To The Party

Operation:  Working Vacation

Operation:  That guy I was shaking hands with two years ago is the new Hitler.

Welcome to the club, Dumb-0.  The bloodthirsty, Crusading imperialist neo–con club.

I’d say Obama was practically Jewish if I wasn’ t so sure he would slit his wrists and we need him to keep Amtrak Biden from chugging into the President Station.

Speaking of slitting wrists, if I were a leftist who voted for this featherweight junior war criminal I’d have the warm bath drawn and a bottle of sleeping pills on standby before March Madness is over.

You voted to kill innocent people over oil.  Er, well not oil. Over something maybe.  Oh well, may not over something.

More like over nothing.

You elected Obama to kill innocent people and whose excuse for doing so is in no way different than what Bush was criticized over for eight years.

I understand after all.  It’s not like I’ve never seen a hypocrite before.

But no, of course this isn’t what you voted for.  You voted for peace and sunshine and government-regulated sugarfree lollipops.  You weren’t given a real choice for peace.  Obama just lied to you for his entire career about how much his inspiring words could make the oceans recede and the clouds part and the horse shit.

Either that, or the world’s a more complicated place than the highchair banging pantpissers on the Left can nuance into their drug-addled shitferbrains.

Cassandra Was Right, You Know?

March 6th, 2011 at 7:21 pm by Brian

Impromptu Weekend Wrap-Up:

Rob Taylor at NewsRealBlog has a good piece up on the 10 biggest financial feces already flung mid-air towards the fan blades that are somehow getting no play in  state-run media.  I’m tempted to cash out my 401k, buy shotgun shells and all the frozen vegetables at Wal-Mart now.

The Happy Warrior himself Mark Steyn is back with his inimitable style focused like an Obamanian laser on the failures of multiculturalism, liberal military adventurism and media malpractice on display after the assassination of two US soldiers at the Frankfurt airport this last week.

Ann Coulter’s working OT in a right-to-work state.  To the union dock monkeys, she’s not from the government and she’s not here to help you.  Which is why I like her.

Card Check for Non-Union Members

March 5th, 2011 at 2:19 am by Brian

The AP state-run media couldn’t go a day without showing their true colors again.

We still don’t know what Obama’s grades were in college.  The election has been over for more than two years now.  No one’s the least bit curious if he was a C student?

Nah, let’s have the Associated (how’s that NFL strike going?) Press sue Scott Walker to get e-mails of supporters from two weeks ago.  After all, they’ve waited long enough dammit!

It’s almost like they’re Obama’s palace guards or something:

Two local news organizations sued Gov. Scott Walker Friday for alleged failure to respond to their requests for e-mails that the governor claimed were overwhelmingly in favor of his controversial budget repair bill.

The lawsuit was filed in Dane County Circuit Court by Isthmus and the Associated Press, which had both filed open records requests with Walker’s office on Feb. 18 seeking to review the e-mails.

“The governor said he had gotten more than 8,000 e-mails as of Feb. 17, with ‘the majority’ urging him to ‘stay firm’ on his budget repair bill,” Isthmus News Editor Bill Lueders said. “We’re just trying to see these largely supportive responses.”

AP reporter Todd Richmond amended his request to include e-mails concerning the bill through Feb. 25.

The lawsuit alleges that the governor’s office violated the Wisconsin Open Records law by withholding the messages and delaying access to them. It seeks release of the e-mails and attorneys’ fees for filing the lawsuit.

Febuary 18th.  It is just now March 4th.  This is where I lose form and say “fuck these ‘in the tank’ motherfuckers”.

We’ve never gotten Obama’s college transcripts.  It’s taken two years for Eric Holder to respond to Congress on dropping the already won New Black Panther Voter Intimidation case.  And yet, because the Governor of Wisconsin didn’t turn his attention away from a budget crisis that threatens his state as much as the union thugs assaulting people in his streets in a near State of Emergency, these anklebiting fuckwits are filing a lawsuit (and demanding that the already cash-poor state pay for the privilege) because they did not get the Governor’s correspondence to them in two weeks.

Two weeks.  A two week delay results in two news organizations filing lawsuits in hopes that they can say that he got e-mails that did not support his position like that matters at all.  He was elected in November.  He’s been on the job less than two months.  He has the support of a majority of the state already and doesn’t need the e-mails to back it up.

His holding the office backs him up.

This is something more nefarious.  They want the names and e-mail addresses of his supporters so they can send union thugs to their doors or harass them at their jobs if they still have one.  Call it “Card Check” for non-union members.  Spam trolling.

Imagine if James O’Keefe had just filed a lawsuit against Mary Landrieux to determine if her phones were working and asking her to pay for the lawsuit if she didn’t turn her records over to him.  In two weeks.

This terrorists lawfare from the Associated Press shows they are out of control and out for blood however they can get it.  When they start slitting Tea Party activists’ throats with boxcutters it’s time to storm their offices because they’re about to ululate “Allahu Akbar” and suicide-bomb Madison, Wisconsin.
