Gen Y Cow Tipping

"But Lust stressed it's a safe car with a five-star safety rating."  Unless you happen to be sitting in it when some yobs decide to flip it over.  No, sorry, the guy wasn't in his car when it got tossed, but it's bound to happen sooner or later.  And I'm guessing we will be cackling with glee and champagne toasting and taking up a collection for bail money when it happens.

Following in his footsteps

Assuming Hamas doesn't decide to suddenly perform a humanitarian action (and I think that's a pretty safe bet), Friday will be the fourth birthday Gilad Shalit has spent in captivity. 

On Wednesday, Gilad Shalit's younger sister Hadas is enlisting in the IDF.

Union Wins Again!

First we had these guys at the Stella D'Oro plant decide getting paid $18-22 an hour and receiving a three month paid vacation wasn't sufficient.  Now you have union chumps at the Mercury Marine factory in Fond du Lac being warned by management that if they don't accept a new contract that would reduce some costs, inefficiencies and scale back some of the benefits, they were going to have to shut down the plant and move all operations to Stillwater, Oklahoma. 

Indeed, the retards decided to reject the proposal, and the Mercury Marine plant will be moved to Oklahoma.

So if you're in Stillwater, and later down the road you have a job at Mercury, be sure to thank a union member. 

This kind of story may have to become a regular feature...

District 9

I saw several kids under 13 at a showing of District 9. It’s not for kids. It’s rated R for a reason (and no, it hasn’t any pirates). The film has zero nudity and very little other sexually suggestive content. Given the American tolerance for violence and language, it takes a lot of both to get an R-rating without sex. Don’t take your kids to see this film. Just don’t.

I’m certainly not revealing anything new to say that District 9 has strong racial overtones. For Pete’s sake, they set it in Johannesburg. But race is an imperfect analogy for the movie, and one that the movie doesn’t force down the viewer’s throat. If you’re worried about a ham-fisted race lecture, don’t be. Look to Alien Nation for your racial commentary. Instead, worry about more mundane distractions, like character and plot.

Newspeak

We have the tag for a reason.  This time around, government organizations and "quangos",  British slang for quasi-NGOs which are largely subsidized by the government, are moving to eliminate phrases like "black mark" or "right hand man", because they may be offensive to women or minorities, and are offering up alternative phrases.

Let's start a pool.

Jonathan Adler, at the Corner, notices that
Let's see now.  Deficit projections are once again on the rise as Obama's approval rating falls.  Health care reform is faltering, climate change legislation is stalled, and David Axlerod is under fire for his conflicts of interest.  Seems like a good time to change the subject.

He left out the illegality of using my money to send out socialized medicine advertisements.

He then talks about the attack on the CIA's harsh interrogations but also notes that's not taking effect.
He finishes with
If I were a betting man, I'd expect something else to drop Monday or Tuesday.

I figure it'll have to do with Bush.
Obama has to be sick of Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin beating his ass whenever they mention him.

Bush doesn't fight back so he's a safe target for Obama.

God help us when he goes the Slick Willie route and starts bombing countries so Minitru can get his latest screw-up off the front pages.

Well, where are you gonna get your arugula?

Youse guys (I'm looking at you, Axelrod) might want to find a more effective company to send out those e-mail alerts. (Warning: The latter link goes to NYT)...

At a Whole Foods store in midtown Atlanta on Thursday, there seemed to be little awareness of the boycott, although employees said some customers had commented about it.

“I’ve had a few to come in and say I don’t agree with his point of view,” said one cashier, “but they’re still here, so….”

Good luck countering the people who don't want what your boss is trying to shove down our throats, Axelturfers, ACORNs, and SEIU goons. When you can't even get the Whole Foods shopping demographic behind ObamaCare, you might just be fucked.

Although there aren't any, if there was a Whole Foods anywhere within a few miles of here, I might stop by just to pick up an organic impulse buy or two in order to piss off an O-Bot protester.

Stupid Hippies Need A Punch In The Face, Vol. 281,192,811

What a shock this piece of crap idea comes from some idiots in the Bay Area.

Medicinal drumming, formerly called “therapeutic drumming,” is a decade-old practice based on centuries­-­old wisdom, and is being used in The City to keep at-risk youths out of gangs and help trauma victims face their demons, among other uses, the city report said.

The practice was developed by Sal Nunez, a psychologist and professor at City College of San Francisco who has earned national acclaim for the holistic approach. He holds circles to treat trauma victims, and also hosts them for youths and adults in need of psychological counseling.

“It’s a really strong, good therapy that’s been very helpful in keeping kids off the street,” said Public Health spokeswoman Eileen Shields.

“Repetitive patterns influence brainwave activity,” Nunez said. “If a person is susceptible to seizures or perhaps psychosis or has been significantly traumatized, repetitive patterns can trigger some of that.”

The medical community is buying into the practice. Just recently, Nunez’ therapeutic drumming was recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as a “culturally appropriate” and clinically proven practice.

As much as I love to mock stupidity line by line, this one is so idiotic, I am just going to mention that these rump rangers are so fucking stupid, stupid called them to tell them to stop giving stupid a bad name and leave it at that.

And you want therapy? How about guns, booze, cigars, pr0n, and kick ass music? That ever occur to you, Doctor Dipshit? Just for that, here is something that will make you wet your chinos and cry to your drumset:

Michael Vick, you ignorant slut

Baseball players are so stupid.

It contained a link to an August 16 item in the New York Post. Brian Costello of the Post writes in the first paragraph of the article that, on the evening after Vick's return to the practice field, he "sat in a corner booth . . . in the Riverbend Bar & Grill, sipping on a Grey Goose and pineapple juice and talking with two friends."...Vick's conditional reinstatement to the NFL contains an express prohibition against the use of drugs and alcohol.

Doesn't Vick know that Grey Goose is a girl drink?

"If it stops moving, subsidize it..."

Social Security's going bankrupt? Well, let's just expand it!

@midlifechick just returned from TownHall meeting with her US Rep. John Carter (R-TX). Representative Carter informed the crowd that talk has been bandied about Congress to appropriate EVERY state's pension plans into the bankrupt Social Security System.

She is absolutely 100% sure that she understood him correctly. If this is allowed to happen, and I am going to stress again that at this point it is just an idea that has been submitted; the US will absolutely, 100% be a banana republic, a la Argentina.

Numbers numbers numbers

I'm guessing Scott McInnis is going to win the GOP nomination for governor of Colorado. The party machine is thinking Josh Penry hasn't hung out in the Senate long enough. Numbers from Public Policy Polling (PDF warning) support that, but the really interesting poll result is from another poll (once again, PDF warning):

When Public Policy Polling surveyed Colorado in April it found Bill Ritter with an approval rating in the lows 40s and trailing Scott McInnis by almost ten points in a hypothetical contest. Four months later nothing has changed.

On a really ginormous downer note, I'm hoping that these poll results are just early polling number stupidity, because if the GOP nominates Schmuckabee for president we can give up any hope of ever regaining the reputation of the party of small government and fiscal responsibility.  And yes, I recognize that I'm jumping up and down with joy at one set of early poll numbers and cringing at another set.  Piss off.

The Left Never Wanted A Debate

I am usually lukewarm about dealing with Reason Magazine, but this story by Matt Welch regarding his encounter with a union fool leading a protest outside of Whole Foods was funny and telling.

After making my purchase with more enthusiasm than usual, I was handed another flyer from some peppy UFCW gals {wow. Union clowns involved in a pro-Obama protest. Who knew?-ed}, including the bold-italic question du jour: "Do you really want your shopping dollars going to executives who are undermining President Obama?" One of them asked me (quoting from memory), "Are you aware that Whole Foods CEO John Mackey recently wrote an op-ed attacking national health care?"

"Yes," I replied with a smile. "I read the whole thing." As I walked away one of the gals said, in genuine wonder and disappointment, "Wow...."

Yup. These fools never expected or wanted a debate. They thought they could ram Obamacare through, and everybody would just sit back and take it. They thought packing town halls with ACORN types, bringing in union thugs to beat up opponents, and an Enchanted Media still shilling for them would suffice.

They thought wrong. They didn't prepare for, or anticipate the passion behind, the protests to Obama and his Hopey Changey Astroglide Treatment. They didn't know what to do when a person with an IQ above that of rock salt would counter their bullshit. They didn't believe that the opposition would be as organized and passionate as we have been. And seeing them reduced to quivering piles of stupidity is fucking awesome.

Oh, and Team Socialism, try as you might, we won't fucking go away. Fuck you. Fuck you sideways with a sock in your mouth, with me pissing on you in joy.
