The RINOs Can Fuck Off For All I Care

Thanks to Jimmie B, I came across this article over at RedState.

In fact, what the GOP needs right now is leadership. Talk radio and places like RedState are filling a void because the GOP is behaving spectacularly crapulently. Lindsey Graham is collaborating with cap and traders. Pete Sessions and the NRCC are throwing their money down the rat hole that is the Scozzafava campaign. John Cornyn tries to shut out conservative hispanics in favor of squishy, but well tanned governors. The strategy is to be more like the Democrats. It is disappointing.

Yes it is. I am sick of (alleged) goat molesting assfisting RINOs. I am sick of them fucking us over and helping Obama push through his legislation. And I get Hulkamaniac Level Pissed when I read this:

Some Republicans — the reasonable ones — think Rush, Hannity, Beck, etc. are not worth listening too. Sweet Lindsey who is snuggling up to the French Looking John Kerry. John McCain who is still bitter conservatives did not fall down and worship him like the Democrats did to Obama. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Also today, Harry Reid claims he has the votes for a public option.

This is all coordinated. Harry Reid does not have the votes. And Obama is now determined to split the GOP. The best way to do that is to play to their vanity — accuse the Republicans of being Rush Limbaugh’s boot lickers. How do they prove otherwise? They vote for the public option and prove they aren’t tools of tea party activists, talk radio guys, and RedState bloggers.

The added benefit here is that Obama distracts from the fact that he cannot hold Democrats together. They can be called “independent” while the GOP, with the Politico’s help, gets cast as trembling slaves afraid of their master.

Yeah. At this point, any RINO that works with Obama to push through his shit are nothing but Democrats in my mind and should be treated as such. And for extra measure, they should fuck themselves with a beehive.

Stay classy, Philly

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to which of our Pennsylvania bloggers is showing his respect for the announcer in the background?

Some midday pwnage for you

This is classic, read the original post of this ricer/street racer bitching about a rather lenient ticket he received...then jump to comment four.

Wow, Ron Reagan's aged really poorly

Can someone explain to me how FoxNews is not a news organization with their opinion pieces, but MSNBC is still a beacon of shining truth?

Thank God we don't have a "politicized" DOJ anymore

Um, why isn't this case (not to mention the dropping of the case against the New Black Panther thugs) being pursued by the MSM?

Oh, yeah, right.

Ho Hum. Another Taliban Strike In Pakistan.

Except that this one seems to have been a little too close to a nuclear facility.

The suicide bomber detonated outside a security checkpoint near the Kamra Air Weapon Complex in the district of Attock, Geo News reported. Three security personnel and four civilians were killed in the blast, and 12 more were wounded.

The attack is the latest in a string of suicide strikes and military assaults by the Taliban against Pakistan's security forces, the government, and civilians. Today the Taliban assassinated a senior general and his driver near the general's home in Islamabad. Yesterday the Taliban conducted a dual suicide attack at Islamic International University in Islamabad. The Taliban has announced it is at war with the state so long as South Waziristan remains under military siege.

The Kamra Air Weapon Complex is one of three military industrial production facilities in the Wah Cantt, according to Global Security. The Pakistani Ordnance Factories, a collection of 14 factories that produce arms and ammunition for the Pakistani armed forces, and Heavy Industries Taxila are also contained within the Wah Cantt. More than 40,000 Pakistanis are employed at the factories.

Kamra is believed to be connected with Pakistan's nuclear weapons program. The Pakistani Ordnance Factories are believed to store nuclear weapons at a "screwdriver level" - meaning the components are stored disassembled and can be assembled within hours of needed use.

I'm sure this was merely a coincidence, right?

Double Amputee Needed

Actual NY Craigslist ad

Need an amputee to complete my Halloween costume (Brooklyn)

So this might seem strange and really offensive to some but hopefully someone will reply. I have always loved the scene in Empire Strikes Back where Chewbacca has to carry around a half reconstructed C3PO in a backpack because he hasn't reattached his lower body yet. For Halloween I would love to dress up like this. I am big enough and strong enough to both pull off the Chewbacca look and to carry around a lot of weight for the night. So basically I am looking for a double amputee (someone missing both legs - preferably at the hip) to accompany me as C3PO for the evening. We should meet ahead of time so that we can work out the backpack/harness system. There are a few parties that I want to hit and I think we will be the hit of any event we attend. Anyone up for this?

If you have the balls to ask random double amputees to participate in your warped Chewbacca fantasies you deserve a win tag.

From The "No Shit, Sherlock!" Files

Rasmussen confirms that the GOP Base believes that the GOP Leadership ignores them. Gee, whoda thunk?

President Obama told an audience at a Democratic Party fundraiser Wednesday night that Republicans often “do what they’re told,” but GOP voters don’t think their legislators listen enough to them.

Just 15% of Republicans who plan to vote in 2012 state primaries say the party’s representatives in Congress have done a good job of representing Republican values.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 73% think Republicans in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters from throughout the nation. Twelve percent (12%) are undecided.

And maybe related, Dana Loesch has a plan.

Best DWI Story Ever, La-Z-Boy Edition

Wow. Give this guy credit for his creativity.

Deputy Police Chief Troy Foucault said today that the chair is "quite decked out." Along with the stereo and cup holders, it is powered by a converted gasoline-powered lawnmower, a steering wheel, headlights and a power antenna.

Foucault estimated that the La-Z-Boy can top out at 15 to 20 miles per hour. A National Hot Rod Association sticker adorns the headrest.

The chair was impounded and will be sold at the next police auction.

"We have quite a few people calling about buying it," said Foucault, who half-seriously acknowledged that he's tempted to bid on it, except that "I have kids who would take it out and drive it on the street."

Anderson admitted to police that he had been drinking at home, was leaving the bar and had drunk eight or nine beers that day before getting on the La-Z-Boy and crashing it into a Dodge Intrepid parked outside, Foucault said. Anderson was treated at the scene for minor injuries and given a field sobriety test, even though he pleaded several times with the officer to "give him a break," according to the police report.

Thanks to Brian L

More random BUT IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN stuff

This came up in conversation at work today and I thought I'd ask my fellow Morons what they thought. 

Would it bother you if your child's kindergarten or elementary school teacher was male?  Would it make a difference if your child is a boy or a girl?

While I have an opinion (No!  I have an opinion about something!  I never do that!), I'm not going to say what it is.  I'm really interested in what all y'all think.

And once again I am one with my life choices

Disclaimer: I don't have kids. I'm not going to have kids. I may, in fact, be the least maternal woman anyone has ever met. So, you know, factor that into any discussion I make surrounding raising kids.*

That being said, what the ever loving hell - For some parents shouting is the new spanking.

In other words, oh noes!  Don't ever yell at your precious darling children!  You'll scar them for life!  You horrible terrible Mommy!  (also note how this is directed almost entirely at women)

From what I have observed, it's now actually risky to spank your children in private, to say nothing about spanking them in public.  Lay a hand on a kid and you're running a non-negligible risk of being reported for child abuse.  Well, if shouting is the new spanking, it's really really obvious where this is going.

Instapundit comments fairly frequently that the social stressors around being a parent are such that it's difficult to imagine why anyone would want to be a parent.  I agree.  Even if I didn't view children with fear and loathing, I'm still fairly certain I wouldn't want to be a parent. It's simply too fraught with danger.

Is it just me or is there a presumption that children are noble savages who only engage in "bad" behavior due to their parents being mean to them?  They're children.  They do stupid crap.  They do stupid crap on purpose and need to be punished.  If spanking is out and yelling is out, what's left?  Punishment isn't fun.  No one likes to be yelled at.  But sometimes yelling is necessary. 

Also the hell is up with this being "friends" thing?  You're a parent, not a friend.  Act like it. 


*I also want to say I'm only anti-child for me.  While I'm admit to throwing breeder around from time to time, I'm actually in awe of anyone who wants to be a parent and is doing their damnedest to be a good one.  I could never do it and y'all have my respect.

Bruce Springsteen is a dumbass

No, for once, I'm not talking about a celebrity's politics here...

Backstage before his Tuesday night concert at the Spectrum, Bruce Springsteen was telling Joe Torre how his "Working on a Dream" tour won't end until after Thanksgiving, so he'll miss the World Series. But his Monday night show finished in time for the E Street Band to catch the last few innings of the Phillies' win in Game 4.

"Yeah, yeah we saw it," Torre recalled Springsteen saying excitedly. Then, according to Torre, Springsteen remembered he was talking to the losing manager and not a Phillies fan, adding a subdued, "Oh."

Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, during the last few innings that you caught, did you not notice the fact that Torre happened to be sitting in the Dodger dugout, wearing a Dodger uniform, and, you know, managing the fucking Dodgers?

"Oh," indeed, you fucking ar-tard.

Great news for Florida Morons!

If you live in or near the city of Delray Beach, you can now start to get your drink on at 7 a.m. on Sundays.

(Although why you wouldn't still be passed out at that hour is a bit of a mystery to me.)

We are in for a helluva upswing!

That's the only explanation for these numbers that I can think of - not only have 49 out of 50 states lost jobs since the February stimulus job creation estimate was put out, but eight states have lost more jobs than they're supposed to gain by the end of next year!  If we accept the premise that we all know is true, that Obama is infallible, then we're going to have OVER! SIX! MILLION! NEW! JOBS! within the next 14 months!  WOOHOO!!!!!1!!!ELEVENTYONE!!!

Have "they" gone too far?

Some school had a series of 'streakings'. Then, they caught some of the kids.

Okay, so detention? Suspension? Expulsion? Community Service?
Guess again.
one of the teenagers could be charged with criminal sexual conduct because of his nudity

A sex crime. He'll be on the sex-crimes database if they do it. Imagine him at 50 and everywhere he goes they tell his neighbors a sex-offender is moving in?

But the officials say it's a good idea
Harapat pointed out that the last football game was streaker-free.

Oh well, that's worth destroying that kid's life.
H/T I forget. Sorry.
