I gotta agree with Ace, Mike Castle for DE Senate
In addition to the things Ace lists, I believe that this interview with Christine O'Donnell completely destroys whatever lingering credibility she may have had. Disaster.
I wonder if Michelle Malkin, who endorsed her, will weigh in on any of this?
1
I thought people would wake up a little and smell the coffee after getting Sharron Angle nominated. I hope she beats Dingy Harry, but she's only in the game because Harry is so goshdarn awful. If she wins --which she very well might-- it will be because her campaign will have managed to contain teh crayzee.
I'm totally on the same page as Ace on this.
Is there some kind of, ya know, strategically rational faction of the Tea Party I can root for?

Without downplaying the inherent crazy of Christine O'Donnell (which should have been evident from her hosting gigs on Hannity's show - I despise Hannity)...
Strategically rational has given us McCain, Guiliani, both Bushes, Specter, Murkowski, Delay, and Boehner.
If my choice is those versus crazy, I'm almost ready to side with crazy.
As in, on the Sharron Angle end. O'Donnell is a bridge too far - we have enough mean-spirited poseurs just in our strategically rational group. We don't need to import more.

Ella, you're making a point about ideology, and I'm making a point about tact, sanity, and general qualification. I'm with you on the ideology thing to a large degree. I could point you to more than a few lengthy blog posts I've written on the matter, all basically arguing that we're capable of electing more conservative candidates than the self-styled GOP elite gives us credit for.
But you can't just put up any old person who yells something about "the Constitution" just because the inside-track candidate has RINO tendencies.
Guiliani?? He was the most conservative Northeast big city mayor you're going to see in your lifetime. And he didn't get to be the prez nominee, so not seeing the point there.

Seriously, fuck the left and their race hustling. Fuck them for trying to tell people of any color and/or faith what to do, think or believe. Fuck them for thinking they are more enlightened than those who wish to help free people from a perpetual cycle of dependancy. And androidfuck them with Mechagodzilla's robotic fucklever wrapped with a hard earned ticket off of their plantation for thinking they can keep people down with their legislatively enforced slavery to statism and "knowing one's place".
So fuck off, race hustling lefties. Fuck you for failing the people you purport to lead, and then continuing to try to keep them down so that they depend on you for help. Fuck you for crying racism at every turn instead of truing to fix the structural problems that have caused minorities to remain poor. And fuck you because your "help" has made things worse for ALL Americans.
Remakes
Eh,. there's nothing going on except Minitru/Journolist trying to explain how 300,000+ people on the Mall is no big deal and, of couse, the usual litany of outrages from Obama. It's hard to keep up with them all. Especially since I try to limit my outrage/week rate. I get worked up.
Nobody's posting so here's a silly thread for a silly season. Considering that Hollywood loves to remake good movies and make them worse, why don't they remake movies that sucked into something good?
I wish someone who had actually read the book instead of skimmed it for names had done Starship Troopers.
There are some really bad Lovecraft "B" movies that could be fan-farging-tastic. The SciFi channel should be looking into that. There aren't enough 'e's in the word "creepy" for Lovecraft. Again, it needs someone who has actually read some Lovecraft books.

Let me go find it but there's a direct to dvd release coming up that Lovecraftian that looks pretty good. It's about some kids flying in like a Piper Cub and they run into some Old Ones and get nommed.

I don't know if it counts, but I really like the 1982 remake of The Razor's Edge. It's very different from the older version, but I think it's a better movie, even if it's less faithful to the book.

I'd love to see Ringworld. They could do that and do it well. There's not a lot of subtext. If they can do the fish dude in Hellboy, they can do Nessus, Speaker, ghouls, city builders and all the rest. And if they make money on it there is at least one sequel that's pretty good. After that, ummmm, well.. They didn't suck. I think.

12Gone With the Wind. I never really liked the original (sorry, C-Belle, if you're still paying attention to this blog) but just thinking of doing a remake would display a gigantic set of brass fucking balls. It would also be hilarious, if for no reason other than it would drive a metaphorical stake right through Roger Ebert's heart. Megan Fox as Scarlett O'Hara, anyone?
(In the same vein, a shot-for-shot remake of Citizen Kane starring and directed by Ben Afflek would be priceless.)

Just keep it up, you fucking arrogant jerks. Just fucking keep telling us we are stupid for standing up for ourselves and saying "No more". Just fucking keep trying to meddle in primaries and nominating processes. Just fucking keep telling us that you know better than us. And just fucking keep trying to stab us in the face with one hand and have the other hand out for money. Just keep it up, because my answer will be:

The GOP establishment is not about anything but perpetuation of their own power. They're part of the problem and not the solution. Thus, these 'lessons' are lost on them and they will continue to fight the grass roots conservative movement until they're forcibly removed.

I also have to wonder if their upcoming lobbying careers are going to be as lucrative. In the past you had all the "my good friend" stuff when the critters retired.
Now? They're being replaced by people who ran pretty much calling them corrupt, insider, money-ticks.

As a member of the senate Murkowski is entitled to that help. That's part of what the NRSC exists for. Assume Miller wins and during the next election cycle he is challenged by someone like Arlen Spector and it is as close an election as this one. Would you want the NRSC to sit on the sidelines or send the lawyer that Miller would be entitled to?

I know this is from last year, and from Politico, but this is what Cornyn said, especially as it reflected upon Florida:
"As far as what's happening in specifically Florida -- we made a
decision to endorse Gov. Crist at his request{what's that tell you on both sides?-ed}. But we'e really not
involved in the primary," {ahem-ed}Cornyn told Manu. "That's up to the voters in
Florida."
And this:
"Our job is to elect Republicans so voters in Florida will have a chance to sort that out {and they did by rejecting your guy-ed}."
And this:
"We will not spend money in a contested primary... There's no incentive
for us to weigh in... We have to look at our resources. . . . We're not
going to throw money into a (primary) race leading up to the election {ahem again-ed}."
Look, that last bit could be parsed, especially as it relates/related to other races, but sending lawyers/consultants up to AK to help the Murkowski recount effort (lawyers and consultants who I am sure do not work for free, hence requiring money to be thrown at them) , along with their earlier campaign advice on going negative against Miller, in a primary comes as close as can get to the NRSC/GOP Machine meddling in a primary.

DPUD I'm not sure. You can't go wrong with a shotgun.
In Jurassic Park the uber hunter dude (who got killed stupidly) used a SPAS-12, I've wondered if he had slugs or buckshot or alternated.
I wouldn't take a SPAS-12. My buddy has one and it works fine in pump-action but only most of the time in semi-auto mode. You know, when it wants. It's Italian. They over-engineer everything like any good European but without the anal-retentiveness of the Germans or Belgians.
I'd go Mossberg with a mix of slugs and 00 buck and a bayonet or a .50 Beowulf, preferably on an M-4 lower in case I need a 3-round burst. They're fast and I'd figure hard to kill. I also figure they'd be hunting us. Most big game we hunt isn't hunting us, except maybe really big bears and they're not usually stalking us. They just try to kill us when they run across us. That's why man-eating tigers freak people out. If they're hunting us, well, we're meat for the beast. Raptors wouldn't have any instinct to be any more afraid of us than any other similarly sized animal. They'd hunt us the way they hunt anything else. So I'd want something with some stopping power and would have to assume I'd need to be within 100 yards.
Unless they hunt in a pack. In that case, I'd want an AA-12
The military channel had a show about top ten man-portable heavy weapons. They ranked that bad ass shotgun below the .50 Beowulf. Now, I love my Beowulf, but that full-auto, low-recall shotgun makes whatever's "over that way" not there anymore. At least, not in fully assembled form.
Of course my back up would be a .500 S&W. That's pretty much my "Plan B" for anything that weighs more than I do.

Not bad, but remember, we're talking about hipster velociraptors, these aren't your standard vicious, carnivorous dinos. I think hipster velociraptors are going to be much, much slower and less aggressive than a typical raptor, and odds are you'll only be attacked by hipster raptors one at a time, as they're only going to attack someone to be ironic and differentiate themselves from the group somehow.
Raptors aren't that big, either, and hipsters tend to be scrawny doofuses, so I'm actually thinking either an AK with a good heavy hollowpoint, a Saiga 12 gauge with slugs and a 20 round drum, and for a challenge either a levergun in .30-30, .35 Remington or .405 Winchester. Far as sidearms, I like either DA revolver in .44 mag or .454, or an auto in 10mm. Of course there's a part of me that says a double in .450 NE and a Howdah as a sidearm...just so I can wear a pith and speak in a really bad fake British accent.

I totally ignored the hipster angle. I'd use a club. Point out the irony in them trying to be ironic and as they try to figure that out, go up and slam then in the head. Then shoot them with the .500. Cabela's has a howdah. It's bad ass, it comes in either 20 gauge smooth bore or .58 rifled. . It's used to be about $600, I saw it on sale for a day for around $400 and didn't get it. Now it's up to 800. I'm a little depressed about that. It goes "Boom".

The pettiness, it is strong with me
I have no plans to watch Obama's speech tonight, mainly because there are important things like US Open tennis to watch. But I noticed people commenting about how he doesn't plan on crediting the surge for working. No! You lie! Obama's not going to give credit to someone else? You. Lie.
I hope Bush refuses the call. Seriously, I hope he refuses to take it. Why should he? Why on earth should he speak to a man who has done nothing but insult and slur him? I'm unaware of any law that requires a private citizen to speak to the President. Of course, common courtesy would lead Bush to take the call but I'm of the strong opinion that one extends the same level of courtesy to another person as that person has shown. Based on Obama's actions toward Bush, Bush is entitled to publicly insult Obama.
Now, he won't. We all know that he won't. He's a decent person and has an appreciation for the dignity that should be displayed by former Presidents. Yes, I'm looking at you Clinton. But still. It's a nice little fantasy to imagine Obama getting a bit of comeuppance.

Maybe how Americans are too stupid to understand how great Obama is and how much of a poopy head Bush is. That's always popular and gets them all kinds of compliments.

Is it Ace KIng or Larry Ace?Ace, of course, is Moron of the Day every day and most of you already read him, but just in case.... He interviewed the guy who directed some of the most entertaining web campaign ads we've seen in the last year or so. It's long but it's pretty good. quote Yes, they are sticking money and emotion into folks in CA like Meg
Whitman, who is running because Romney wants her to run for VP,
assuming he can somehow get the nomination. So this is stupid. She's
got money. Why give her more? There are 63 f*&^%ckin' districts in
CA for congress. 63. And every damned one of the current dems holding those seats is a joke. And ripe for making fun of, beating the crap out of.
He sounds like a tea partier and he's doing something about it.
A documentary series by historian James Burke, "Connections" attempted to explain how various historical events and personalities led to discoveries that built off each other to bring about the modern world. Since the series originally ran in 1978 some of the material is a little dated but it is still one of the most interesting programs to have been aired on TV in my opinion. Fortunately James Burke has placed the entire series on YouTube (as well as the two follow on series).
Portal is homework
I've had a history professor who required viewing Monty Python (and asked questions on it in the final exam), but I have yet to have an instructor require me to play a video game for class.
OK, that's not true. I had to play video games for my Flash class. But that was understandable - Kitten Cannon teaches valuable lessons about programming and physics.
Now if we can just convince the curriculators (I'm hesitant to call them educators) of the value of weapons training for the upcoming zombie apocalypse...
Bring a tear to your eye it will. My only problem is that it makes me think about the large segment of America who would think you're a duped fool for believing that message.

Just after remaining in business for 2 years I had acquired a storage space full of filing hair extensionscabinets and had to employ someone simply to maintain and organize the documents on a daily basis. prom dressesI was confident there had to be a simpler option to file forms and preserve my customer files. After a littlewedding invitation homework I found that there are a few document scanning programs available to help simplify and hairstyles for promorganize my business and customer files. Soon after researching the various document scanning programs readily available I then needed to find a document scanner to operate with the hairstyles for promsoftware program I selected but what kind of document scanner would I require? This question mightclip on hair extensions be answered simply by figuring out the sort of documents I wished to scan and the quantity of documents I might need to scan on an everyday schedule.

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and
frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply
rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation
will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these
truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a
dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former
slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down
together at a table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day
even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat
of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of
freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four children will
one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of
their skin but by the content of their character.
"Shame on them. We still have a dream. We are here to let those folks on
the Mall know that they don't represent the dream," said Jaime
Contreras, president of SEIU-32BJ. "They sure as hell don't represent
me. They represent hate-mongering and angry white people. The happy
white people are here today. We will not let them stand in the way of
the change we voted for!"
1What makes me laugh is the way Minitru coordinated their message about a monochomatic crowd that's just this close (My forefinger and thumb are really close) to exploding into racist rage. The peasants are revolting and our social, political, moral and intellectual betters are revolted.

With this crowd of morons, the fastest way to get more of something is to bitch about it. I expect about 90% of the comments to be in comic sans soon.
