Maybe it ain't working this time?

Some Detroit city councilor is whining because there are throwback Billy Dee Williams ads for Colt .45 all over the city.  Seriously, you don't have anything else more important to deal with in Detroit?  Nothing like a collapsing local economy or rampant violent crime?  Nothing?  Nothing at all?  I find that hard to believe.

I cannot believe I'm surprised by this

And yet I am. Sotomayor backers are urging the press to go after Ricci.

Of course they are.  Of course.  Every so often my cockeyed optimism that the human race isn't completely worthless rears its ugly head.  It never occurred to me that this would happen and yet, in hind sight, it's obvious it would. 

God, I truly loathe our current political climate.  Truly and honestly loathe.

John Holdren, fascist monster, Obama Administration's science czar

The only way Obama could have picked a bigger monster would be to dig up the bones of Dr. Josef Mengele.  Seriously, if you haven't read through Zombie's report, do so.

Spreading myself thin

For some reason, PJ Mama decided to give me the keys to The H2 last night, so I'll be annoying people with retarded poats like this one over there occasionally from now on.

(Don't worry.  I'll still be posting retarded stuff here, too.)

Okay, I'm back

I'd of course like to thank John Hawkins for giving me the opportunity to trash Conservative Grapevine and drive away his readership again. 

In other news, a fat bastard in Pennsylvania has decided he needs to be a slightly less fat bastard, and has joined a gym.  When asked if he'd give up the large quantities of soda he consumes on a daily basis, said fat bastard loudly declared, defiantly holding a 2 liter of birch beer over his head, "From my cold, dead hands!"

Moron of the Day: I'm Not In My Bedroom

But I can be mean:

“I don’t think people fought and gave their lives so that some guy can sit in his bedroom and be mean. I don’t think that’s what freedom of speech is,” he continued. “Freedom of speech is really about assembly — for us to collectively have an idea. We want to get our point of view out so we can assemble and I can appoint you to be the spokesman. That’s freedom of speech — to be able to collectively speak for a sector of people. But somehow it’s turned into ‘I can be an a****** whenever I feel like, say whatever I like, be disrespectful to people and not be courteous.’ It’s not good for our society. Not being courteous is not really freedom of speech. …

Coug... can I call you Coug?  I'm going to ignore for the moment your breathtakingly retarded interpretation of the Constitution and bypass my almost sympathetic views about civility in society to get down to the heart of the matter.*

Are you not aware of how much you suck? 

I mean, you have to be, don't you?  All the name changes were obviously a ploy to avoid being associated with the previous anal excretions you criminally labelled 'music,' right?

No? 

Well, allow me to elaborate:

I'd rather listen to Bjork have a seizure for thirty hours than listen to that goddamned "Aint That America" song one more fucking time.  After the fourty billionth time that motherfucking Chevy commerical came on I just about poured flesh-eating beetles in my ear canals to make the suffering stop. 

I mean, let's be honest.  Every fucking song you've ever been involved in is as pedestrian as a New York City sidewalk.  Your flag-waving populism is as artificial as Hal 9000's intelligence. 

The fact that you're famous is more insulting than Triumph at the Special Olympics.   You have less skills than a level 1 Orc Fighter.  Your more repetitious than a stutterer recounting the transcript of a game of Go Fish.

I once took a shit that had more personality and a vastly superior grasp of Constitutional law.  It smelled better, too. 

Are we clear on the sucking yet?  Because I really, really want you to understand how fucking useless and banal you are.  If you had never existed and your music had never been written the total effect on the Universe would be that people generally wouldn't consider Cougar a name. 

Fuck you, you useless shit.  Shove your folksy guitar up your ass and make out with Geisha Chainsaw.

Update: By popular demand...

GEISHA IS FACECOCK!

* - Of course, instead of limiting free speech to prevent people from being assholes, I've always supported a system based on the statement, "a well armed society is a polite society."

I have no idea what this article is about

But I approve of the illustration.

Actually, yes, I do have an idea of what the article is about.  I find the entire singularity discussion interesting, however, I am not overly optimistic that humanity will make the leap out of human flesh any time soon.

We're not the only ones with a Hopey-Changey foreign policy

Proof of reincarnation?

Gordon Brown shows us that skittle-shitting unicorns are actually an international phenomenon:

The Prime Minister said US-brokered talks next year could pave the way for the UK to reduce its 160-warhead arsenal in return for proof from would-be nuclear states they had stopped their weapons programmes.

Speaking at a G8 summit in Italy, Mr Brown insisted there was no question of abandoning plans to replace the Trident weapons system.

But he signalled the number of British warheads and nuclear-armed submarines could be reduced as part of a new international agreement.

He said: "What we need is collective action by the nuclear weapons powers to say that we are prepared to reduce our nuclear weapons, but we need assurances also that other countries will not proliferate them."

[...]

In exchange for the cuts, Mr Brown suggested that aspiring nuclear states would have to accept new requirements on non-proliferation, possibly including international inspections.

"The onus will be on countries that do not have nuclear weapons to prove they do not have nuclear weapons," Mr Brown told reporters in L'Aquila, Italy.

Yeah, and those assurances from the Norks and the Mad Mullahs in Iran have historically been proven to be worth their weight in...well, I'd say bullshit, but you can actually use bullshit to make fertilizer, which is useful.

I know Lady Thatcher hasn't been in the best of health lately, but perhaps she could be summoned to give Brown a much-needed punch in the dick.

Since why should eddiebear have all the fun?

What the ever loving FUCK is WRONG with people?

First, there's the losers in Philly who don't want Those Kinds Of People in their pool. And, yeah, I've seen the spin, blah blah blah they meant noisy kids, blah blah blah. Bullshit. At the very very very least, the guy meant that having some probably underprivileged youths around would upset the wee gentry. That's not a classist and bigoted thing, nope, not at all. 

Then, you have the NY legislature hiring and firing based on that tell all qualification of skin tone.

Now, we have Justice Ginsburg saying this:

Growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of? I don't give a fuck how you sit and spin that, that's fucking eugenics. Straight up.

And, of course, there's the incident in Ohio where it certainly appears that the family attacked was the victim of a hate crime.  Call me cynical, but I rather doubt that the police would be hesitating to call it a hate crime if a group of white kids yelled it's a white world while beating a black family.

I repeat:  what the FUCK is WRONG with people?  The BFF and I agree that it's far better when people are openly bigoted. Nice and honest. But this? All of this?  Are we truly devolving back into a tribal state?  Because count me right the fuck out of that.

Ginsburg's comments bother me the most and, yeah, part of it is a queer thing.  Let's accept for the sake of argument that sexuality is genetic.  Accepting that, let's take the next step and presume that in very short order, parents will be able to tell in vitro if their kid will be queer.  Don't bother telling me that there's not a substantial number who will then abort.  Or, to get all Gattacay (which is too a word), the parents will simply not select that trait.  Voila!  No more queers!   It'll be like Iran and for the same reason.  There's no one queer because they're all dead. 

Then there's the fact that it's become not only socially acceptable but socially expected that a Woman Of A Certain Age who becomes pregnant will have an amnio and, heaven forbid, if the child will have Down's, the woman will then immediately abort.  Others have noted that much of the rage against Palin seems to come from the fact that she dared be so irresponsible to actually give birth to Trig.  That's just Not Done.  Not only is it Not Done, it's somehow morally inferior to do so.  Huh.  Gee.  I thought we were supposed to protect the rights of those who are Otherly Abled.  Sorry, I missed part of the memo on that.

Populations we don't want too many of.  Seriously, what the motherfucking fuckity fuck?  Though, really, that's right in keeping with Margaret Sanger and the inception of Planned Parenthood.  Nice to see Ginsburg's holding up that tradition.   

I just don't understand what the fuck is so hard about the fucking concept that externalities are not per se indicators of internal worth.  Or, less fancy talk, the fact that I'm so white I glow in the dark tells you JACK SHIT about my intellect, abilities, capabilities or potential. 

I'm about ready to throw in the towel on humanity.  Hands.  Hands all over the place.

Our enlightened progressive betters show us the way

So our enlightened, progressive betters in Philly show us it is okay to kick black kids out of a private pool.  And now we see in New York, liberal leaders in the state Senate complained about the lack of minority representation in the Senate staff, so they fired 200 white employees, and replaced them with minority employees.

Today's Shut The Fuck Up Award Goes To....

Mike Murphy, late of the 2008 McCain Presidential Campaign Clusterfuck.

Look, I at least give Murphy credit for one thing, with this article, he is one of the few McCainiacs who have not hidden behind anonymous leaks in their efforts to trash Sarah Palin.And I would have ignored this article, for it would have been nothing more than a rehash of the David Frum/Allahpundit/Peggy Noonan/Beltway GOP/RINO bullshit, save this little nugget:

Unfortunately for McCain, the actual swing voters, the independents who do determine the winner of the election, didn't buy into this fantasy at all. After a three-week sniff, most couldn't run away from Palin fast enough.

Yet even after she helped cost McCain the election, Palin's great charm endured, at least among many grass-roots Republicans. At least until her astonishing self-immolation during a hastily organized backyard press conference last week, where she gamely competed with honking geese to resign midterm as Alaska's rookie governor. Today, in the wake of that debacle, it is puzzling to many outside our party how some Republicans can still see her as an appealing candidate for the party nomination in 2012. This begs the question: Why is there still so much Republican love for Sarah Palin?

Ok, first of all, fuck you sideways, you fucking syphilitic pack a day smoker of a bag of fuckholstering cocksmokers, you were part of the campaigns of the two worst Republican Nominees for President since John C Fremont, so fuck you and your losing streak right there. The Democrats reward this sort of failure (see Shrum, Robert), not us.

Secondly, you assclown, people didn't run away from the McCain because of Palin. She and her Convention Speech brought McCain to a point where he was actually ahead after the Convention. Yeah, she had a rough time with Katie Couric, but a little something called the collapse of the United States Banking and Finance System may have played a larger role in McCain's defeat than a "fantasy" she perpetuated. I dunno. I'm just spitballin' here.

 

Other politicians are more reliable conservatives {ok, Captain Cockmunch, tell us. Oh you can't? maybe that's because you HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE!-ed.}; Palin ran for governor on a set of populist issues usually linked to Alaska Democrats {but I thought you were all about copying Democrat Party bullshit.-ed.} She lacks any real accomplishment - no military or private-sector career of note{so I guess a fishing business that she and her husband built that didn't involve marrying a beer dealer heiress doesn't count?-ed.}no academic achievement beyond a frenetic bounce between five colleges, including a sun 'n' surf-oriented outfit in Hawaii.

And I'll just ignore the jab at her academic records, because, well, FUCK YOU is because. We can go round and round over that one, but I instantly respect somebody who watses their youth in Hawaii or anywhere not named Saul Alinsky's Schoolhouse. But that's just me.

She has served only two years as governor of a small and uniquely easy-to-govern state (other governors pine for Alaska's small population and billions of dollars in easy revenue from oil production) {but a two year stint as a Senator from a corrupt political machine is OK? Good to know.-ed.}, a job she has now abandoned.

The answer is that Palin profits mightily from a Republican blind spot. She has all the right smirking enemies in America's media elite. To them, Palin reeks of flyover America, that vast and corny collection of Nebraskas and Alabamas where the Army can always meet enlistment quotas and Tina Fey's private jet stops briefly to refuel. Red state Republicans see the snarky, elite attacks on Palin as an attack on them. And in some ways, they are.

The enemy of their enemy is just fine, thank you.

Ok, that last bit is where I am really angry. I hope you are joking there, Murphy McManmuncher, because insulting the Armed Forces and the people who risk their fucking lives to join them should disqualify you immediately from any job other than assistant male zebra fluffer (NTTAWWT). Your own fucking boss served a stint in Hell as a POW, and yet you, you fucking doughy dickbag, have the temerity to even mildly mock, even if it is in some sort of counter intuitive argument way, the good people of the states that FUCKING VOTED FOR YOUR GUY AND SERVE LIKE YOUR BOSS DID? You can't be that stupid, can you? And so fucking what if we hate the media? You spent most of your lives tryting to get into their good graces, and what did they do to you? They abandoned you and Sen. McCain the moment something better came along. And you think we, the Palin supporters, are stupid?

That kind of arrogance is why most of your own party hates you and the clusterfuck that is the Beltway GOP. Oh, and instead of hectoring us, why not offer some alternatives to what you just ripped? Is that too difficult, Fucktard Express? I mean, you call us stupid, yet you offer no concrete examples of what we should do, save ditching Palin.

But I am through for now. Enjoy trying to massage Chris Matthews and his tingly leg in an attempt to be an MSNBC Republican. You two deserve each other.

Cheers.

Where we may be heading

Well, here's a horrifying glimpse of the not-too-distant future if the GOP can't get its act together in 2010 or 2012, courtesy of our friends across the pond:

More than one million jobless Britons have been living off state handouts for more than 12 years, it has emerged.

A hardcore army of unemployed have failed to find any sort of work since Labour came to power in 1997.

Yeah. That's just super. Now, imagine the Dems in control of at least two of our branches of government for the forseeable future and their buddies at ACORN feeling their oats, and there we are.

Remember When The Obamas Planted That Garden At The White House?

Yeah, well it turns out the garden and the vegetables it produced may not be as Hope and Change-y as originally predicted.

Instead, an embarrassed White House admitted today that the plot — whose lettuce, herbs and other produce have been consumed by the first family, visiting dignitaries, local school children and a women's homeless shelter — had tested positive for elevated levels of lead.

A spokeswoman for the White House said the soil in the garden had lead concentrations of 93 parts per million of lead. Health experts say it is safe to raise leafy vegetables in soil with concentrations of 10-50 parts per million, and urban gardens typically have raised lead levels. However, it is advised for young children to be tested for exposure to lead if they play in areas where lead concentrations exceed 100 parts per million. The Environmental Protection Agency puts the threshold for dangerous lead levels at 300 parts per million.

Oops.
