Except that I'm not done with my daughter's dollhouse. Ever wished that a deadline would be here so you could be done, except that if the deadline were here your head would be spinning around like the little girl from The Exorcist because you're not done?

I mean, when yet another poll comes out stating that Obama and his policies are not very popular, Jay Cost is calling for a major electoral thrashing next year, and Byron Dorgan apparently headed for defeat if the NRSC/RNC axis of stupidity can convince Gov. Hoeven to run against him, then any failures this year will not be tolerated. This could be the start of a rolling wave, to include a 2012 election victory.

Seriously, NRSC/RNC, if you don't start running ads right this fucking minute and nailing down candidates, then fuck you. Fuck you with irrelevance. Fuck you with the golden opportunity you squandered covered in botulism, hand lotion, and something else that really hurts.

What does it say about the state of "Green" Energy and their enablers in Congress that they don't even want this shit in their own states?

This quote from RFK Jr. is so chock full dickfistery and assfishiness, it makes me simultaneously laugh and chuckle at how retarded and truly contemptuous that side of the aisle is about Green stuff, other peoples' property and business rights, and their deep down true intentions.

This is arguably the best solar land in the world, and Senator Feinstein shouldn’t be allowed to take this land off the table without a proper and scientific environmental review,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the environmentalist and a partner with a venture capital firm that invested in a solar developer called BrightSource Energy. In September, BrightSource canceled a large project in the monument area.

Emphasis mine.

I am not a smart man, but my reading of this quote is that RFK Jr is pissed because he couldn't make a mint off of a wind farm and not really giving a shit about the environment. But that's just me.

Yes, it sure looks like it, courtesy of Roland Burris.

The provision [Burris] cites, found on pages 240 through 248 of the manager’s amendment, requires that six different agencies each establish an “Office of Minority Health.” The agencies are the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Health Resources and Services Administration, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.”

Gee, nothing could go wrong with this now, could it?

Why can't the GOP teach about the constitution and limited government? I know I have mentioned my idea about a "Foundations of Freedom" series that explores the ideas behind classic liberalism / conservatism, The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution,and The Bill of Rights a few times. This guy proves that such a project is possible.



Seriously, and if they were really smart they would have them translated into Arabic and Pashtu, let the Taliban and al-Qaeda explain why their ideas are better.

Did you know that, if you have a dog, it's worse for the environment than your SUV?  That's the conclusion of the authors of "Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living".  They even asked some UK scientists to back it up, because right now, there's nothing that we trust more than a UK scientist talking about the environment.

The Vales, specialists in sustainable living at Victoria University of Wellington, analysed popular brands of pet food and calculated that a medium-sized dog eats around 164 kilos (360 pounds) of meat and 95 kilos of cereal a year.

Combine the land required to generate its food and a "medium" sized dog has an annual footprint of 0.84 hectares (2.07 acres) -- around twice the 0.41 hectares required by a 4x4 driving 10,000 kilometres (6,200 miles) a year, including energy to build the car.

To confirm the results, the New Scientist magazine asked John Barrett at the Stockholm Environment Institute in York, Britain, to calculate eco-pawprints based on his own data. The results were essentially the same.

"Owning a dog really is quite an extravagance, mainly because of the carbon footprint of meat," Barrett said.

Other animals aren't much better for the environment, the Vales say.

Cats have an eco-footprint of about 0.15 hectares, slightly less than driving a Volkswagen Golf for a year, while two hamsters equates to a plasma television and even the humble goldfish burns energy equivalent to two mobile telephones.

... but I'm pretty sure that God had something to say about stealing.  Again, I'm not religious person, but I seem to remember that there are some sort of rules that were laid out in the Bible.  I think there were ten of them.  And, unless the knock to the head I took in that car accident last week damaged my brain more than I thought, I'd bet the entirety of my daughter's Christmas presents that one of those ten rules was something about how stealing is bad.

A priest from North Yorkshire has advised his congregation to shoplift if they find themselves in hard times.

Father Tim Jones, the parish priest of St Lawrence and St Hilda in York, said people should steal from big chains rather than small businesses.

He said society's attitude to those in need "leaves some people little option but crime".

However the Archdeacon of York said: "The Church of England does not advise anyone to shoplift".

North Yorkshire Police described the sermon as "highly irresponsible".

This is a very special kind of UK fail, methinks.

Since the entire universe is intent on peeving me during my vacation (srsly, voting at 1:00 a.m., srsly) [and epic!work!fail really didn't have to follow me], have some international bipartisan hotassery.

Now, I have to go into the spare room and scream into a pillow since my mother gets upset if you even say damn so I cannot express my feelings in the Moron approved manner.

At this point, I need a break. And these beauties will help me run faster, jump higher, kill thousands of ninjas, and have lustful romps with three women at one time.

I won't mention the name of these shoes, since they seem to attract the self aware spam bots, but they are endorsed by the fastest man on the planet, so they have to do the same for me, right?

Right?

Under the cover of darkness. There isn't even anything up on the news sites yet.

Update: So, here's the WaPo on this shit...

The 60-40 tally, taken shortly after 1 a.m., followed 12 hours of acrimonious debate and required senators to trek to the Capitol in the aftermath of a snowstorm. The vote was the first of three procedural hurdles that Democrats must cross before a final vote on passage of the measure, now scheduled for Christmas Eve.

Seriously, at this point, the Democrats must just be going a cut and paste of old speeches. C'mon guys. At least come up with some new material. This shit isn't even original anymore.

"Voting 'no' and hiding from the vote are the same result. Those of us on the floor see it. It was clear the three of them who did not cast their yes votes until all 60 Senate votes had been tallied and it was clear that the result was a foregone conclusion. And why? Why all this discord and discourtesy, all this unprecedented destructive action? All to break the momentum of our new young president.

They are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one."

If these people take over health care, they're going to begin imposing more and more restrictions on personal behavior, until we have a tyrannical Nanny State like the UK.  Part of how they want to hike taxes to feed the bureaucratic leviathan is to impose a 10% tax on indoor tanning booths,

Will be hardest hit by 10% tax hike

Now, I know what you're thinking, okay, this will only hurt guidos and bleached out leather skinned bimbos, and you're right, but think about the entertainment we're gonna miss out on without the excess tanning these brain-dead idjits subject themselves to.  Sure, orange-y liquid tanning is funny on its own, but on top of a well done (as in thoroughly cooked) tanning booth tan? Magnifique! 

And it isn't going to stop there, the sin taxes are gonna keep piling up, they're going to try to make all of life's joys too expensive for people to enjoy, then America will resemble the UK, and then it'll be fucking Demolition Man.  It's all fun and games until the vice of your choice is banned/taxed/regulated into oblivion.

They opted for a 10% tax on tanning booths in lieu of a 5% tax on cosmetic surgery, my guess is this swap out was a personal favor to Speaker of the House Pelosi.

If you make over $200K, expect a payroll tax hike, if you have a health insurance policy, it's time to put aside some funds for a 55 gallon drum of Astroglide, because your rates are about to go up, bigtime. 

The latest legislation softens the immediate impact of taxes on health insurers like Wellpoint Inc. (WLP) and Humana Inc. (HUM). Insurers would have been hit with a $6.7 billion annual tax starting next year under an earlier version of the bill; now that tax starts in 2011 at $2 billion a year, and ratcheting it up to $10 billion by 2017.

And you know who that'll get passed on to.  If this happens this is gonna put health insurance out of the reach of more working and middle class people, and that'll be the excuse needed for a government seizure of health care, and health care will be the excuse to seize control of everything else.

One after another we sat across from my poor sister and tried to be funny or sarcastic, or both. “Gnomes playing patty-cake!” one of my brothers said; when my sister rotated the card, as per psychiatric practice, the image became a vagina. “Batman!” he would say; then “vagina.” This brother reported the same finding for every single image: cartoon figures right side up; female genitalia upside down.

Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you up your self important asses with a Heretic's Fork strapped to the end of an STD infected elephant's dick. Fuck you for ignoring the American people's collective voice in opposition to Obamacare. Fuck you for abandoning principles and printing money we don't have in order to secure more pork for your states. Fuck you for crippling medical innovation and research, all while reducing care for those who need it the most. Fuck you with the new tax code for what you want to make us pay for this in taxes. And fuck you in general for this flotsam and jetsam from the fuselage from the flying fuckplane of FAIL.

I know many of you flounder fondlers and fuckflappers have stated that you would rather lose your seats than see Obamacare not pass. I know many of you would rather win a Profile in Courage award or a mention in a history book than stop this ruinous legislation. And I know that many of you feel that you know better than us, and that we are just some uneducated rubes who will just accept whatever you force upon us.

Well, you know what? Do it! I fucking dare you. I fucking dare you to run in 2010 on this. Go ahead and hit the campaign trail next year in defense of this bill . Hit the trail saying this bill and cap & trade are for our own good, and that we should be thankful to you. Go ahead and try whatever tactics you will try. Go ahead, because you will fail. You will get defeated and sent to those lobbying jobs promised to you. And you will be in the minority as we try to undo the damage you fucking fuckity fucks of fuck forced jail house style upon this country.

So fuck off, political ruling class. Fuck off with the mop Obama wants us to grab.

****UPDATE**** Not that it'll matter to anybody but us, but Nelson will have violated his no tax pledge by supporting this bill.

I don't even know where to go with this.  And, boys, before you get too excited about a town where public nudity is completely allowable, remember that it's Oregon.  I have yet to meet a liberal hippy chick from Oregon who shaves.  I'm just sayin'.

 ASHLAND, Ore. - A city council member in an Oregon town noted for its Shakespeare festival and its occasional dustups over public nudity plans a showing in his art gallery of nude portraits and conceptual art involving naked people.

 For gallery-goers as well, clothing will be optional — even though it's winter in Ashland, a small college town on the California border

 Council member Eric Navickas is opposed to a possible ban on public nudity in the town. Nudity is legal in Ashland, except in the city center and public parks, where people are required to cover their genitals.

 "We feel that the nude ban is not only an attack on freedom of expression but also an attack on the human body itself," Navickas said. "We wanted to have a show to celebrate the nude body and differentiate the nude body from anything indecent."

 The ban was proposed after two men were spotted walking naked near schools. The council is to vote next month on the issue.

 Navickas said he is willing to compromise and ban nudity within 200 feet of school zones. His partner, Amy Godard, said the two are interested in dialogue not controversy.

 "It's not like we're trying to polarize anything," she said. "We're trying to pay homage to the nude, which is a strong tradition in the arts."

 Open about a year, the gallery made news early on with an exhibit that allowed patrons to pitch paint-covered shoes at a large portrait of former President George W. Bush. The gallery owners called it a "statement of solidarity" with an Iraqi journalist arrested after throwing shoes at him.

 The nudity exhibit is scheduled Jan. 29 to Feb. 5, Godard said, and patrons may participate by baring themselves.

I think that the pilot for my flight to Detroit may have been a Moron.  Why do I say this?  Well, that flight was about 2 hours late because, according to the pilot, they had to bring the plane up from Charlottesville where there was fourteen inches of global warming.  And, yes, the pilot called it global warming.

I lol'd.  I did.

Also, I think it's hilarious that the blizzard actually managed to miss me and I appear to be one of the few people on the East Coast who actually made their flights today.  Go Team Me!
