I forget whose blog (Kishnevi?) it was, but we were competing to see who had drank the "worst" alcohol/chaser drink.
My contribution was cheap, cheap, cheap vodka (Stonehouse, refined from crude Stonehouse and aged on the truck-ride up the NY Thruway from NJ) chased with grape Bubble Yum.
That duo has me beat. Tequila chased with Ragu. If I didn't see it I wouldn't have believed it.

At about 1:30 into this movie trailer, they take a shot at Sarah Palin.

That will be playing in many, many, many theaters, all over everwhere and on DVD and Blu-Ray movies produced during a certain time and you know they'll extend that time and make sure it's included in every movie everywhere when she runs for president. That movie will be on CBS, NBC and ABC every Monday-Wednesday morning at 3 AM just so they can run that clip 24/7 in the weeks leading up to the election. Of course, NBC will just run that clip instead of infomercials during down times.
They need to make sure people think "snowbilly" when they think Sarah Palin.

So at what point is this covered under McCain/Feingold? If they can worry about Arnold movies, Teh Fred shows, Hillary documentaries, ads from me and whoever else the Supreme Court thinks it's okay to shut up, why not here?

This is a serious question. I mean, I know why, but really.
Minitru and their Hollywood arm have the biggest megaphones and spew this stuff constantly while anybody else gets muzzled.

Isn't there some way we could get the courts to at least consider that maybe, just for kicks and giggles, they could possibly, you know, conditionally, look into this too?
Maybe they could just scrap the whole the freaking thing?

Speech requires money anymore, make it free just make it open and keep it American (The money I mean).

How can the richest country in the world spend less money on health care than all the other developed nations?   Its barbaric! 

As it turns out, its also total bullshit:

Obamacare proponents have long decried the "failure" of free market health care in the U.S. "If only we had more government money" they said! If only we could throw some more taxpayer dollars at it then everything would be okay! The free market has failed, so we need government to step in!

We have a free market in healthcare in the U.S at the moment?

Yeah, right.

In fact, the U.S Government spends more per person on healthcare than any other major developed country.

I repeat. Per person, when it comes to healthcare the U.S Government spends more per person than pretty much any other government. This isn't total spending. This doesn't include insurance or individual payments. This is government spending. Only. These are OUR taxdollars. And we have more government involvment in health than any other major nation.

Go look at the graph and marvel at how much more we'd be spending with Obamacare.  Soon our care will be twice as expensive and half as good.  Its like paying $5,000 to sleep with Rosie O'Donnell.

If it weren't so goddamned dangerous.  The media's new meme is that there are a bunch of angry whities running around and toting "machine guns" (I'm not going to bother trying to explain the difference between a MG, assault rifle, and a semi-auto version of a military rifle, you know the difference, and they don't care) to protests, and they're doing it to intimidate,

And the always obnoxious and pathetic EJ Dionne,

Yes, I have raised the racial issue, and it is profoundly troubling that firearms should begin to appear with some frequency at a president's public events only now, when the president is black. Race is not the only thing at stake here, and I have no knowledge of the personal motivations of those carrying the weapons. But our country has a tortured history on these questions, and we need to be honest about it. Those with the guns should know what memories they are stirring.

So...he doesn't know what the motivations of those who are open carrying are, but he's just going to assume it's racism because Obama is black.  Right...  I'll just take this moment to point out that that this,

...is the guy with the AR-15 that triggered the huge,

Liberal elites show concern about Open Carry protesters standing around with AR-15's doing nothing at protests

...collective shitstorm of handwringing and panic from the liberal elite.  Well, if I had to guess, AR-15 guy is either black, or that Arizona sun is a lot harsher than I realized.  MSNBC of course, in that clip above where they were screeching about ZOMG WINGNUT WHITEY LYNCHMOBZ!!1!111ELVENTY!ONE!1, decided to edit out any evidence that the black dude with the AR was indeed, not a whitey, in order to meet their narrative.

Now, this just made me laugh, the last bit from EJ Dionne,

Will some group of responsible conservatives, preferably life members of the NRA, have the decency to urge their followers to leave their guns at home when they go out to protest the president? Is that too much to ask?

Dear God that is beautiful.  You have to love when some Marxist shitbag like EJ Dionne has to beg the NRA and conservatives like this.  Do you think you'd even read something like that five years ago?  No way would a leftist lower themselves to begging the NRA like this.  This is so fucking awesome. 

Open Carry protestors took a huge gamble doing a carry at big events like this, it could have caused a huge backlash.  Fortunately, thus far they've done it in a smart, responsible way, and I think the shrieking, dishonest hysterics from the media, combined with the "eh, it's legal" response from the Administration, is going to be a victory for Open carry advocates as long as everyone continues to do things responsibly like this guy in Arizona, along with many others.

I'm going to go ahead and abuse my blogging privileges for a minute and pimp my new Programming blog Out on a ZiMB. 

I know its above the heads of you morons but I'll be talking about PHP development, primarily in the context of IBM System i platforms but will also wonder into general Web Development topics and geeky news. 

If that is your bailiwick, check it out.  Otherwise ignore it and I'll enjoy the sweet, sweet search engine bounce achieved by posting it here.

We had found it!  CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON!  3 FOR A COUPLE OF BUCKS!!



NOM NOM! 

And finally, the following picture IS WISCONSIN, to me.

Fuck. You. Scotland.

Fuck you with the barbed cock of Satan.  When the motherfucking hell did it turn into Opposite World?  Compassion?  Compassion?  Compassion for this utter waste of DNA who chose to slaughter a group of people for the crime of, well, I don't know what their crime was.  Breathing?  Being female and literate?  Not being goat humpers in some third world shit hole?

Compassion?  It's not compassion, MacAskill, you ignorant slut.  It's a slap in the face of all decent human beings.  So he's fucking dying.  WE ALL ARE YOU JACKHOLE.  So he's gonna die sooner.  Well, let me say hurray!  I hope he dies in horrible screaming pain since that's the very very very very very least that he deserves for slaughtering a group of innocent people.

Seriously, what the every loving fuckity fuck is wrong with people?  Are there seriously no consequences for anything any more?  Because it sure as fuck seems that way to me. 

You know, I hate to wish ill on people, I really do, but there's a part of me that wants something really really horrible to happen to a member of MacAskill's family and then some judge sets the guy free on "compassion" grounds.  Yes, that's awful and horrible and I'm sick at myself for even thinking it.  But I kind of do.

Have I ever mentioned that Coyote Blog is one of my very favorites?  Read the whole thing:

It is good to see that you have found a tangible way to respond to the editorial written by the Whole Foods CEO.  Your ability to pursue such a boycott is one of the great things about a free market. There are literally hundreds of food shopping choices in a large city, with a variety of value propositions from the low-cost but ambiance-challenged Wal-Mart or Target to the farmers market. Its great to see folks exercising their choice in the free market to take their business elsewhere.

Besides, if nothing else, it provides the majority of us entertainment value as we enjoy the irony of people exercising their free choice shopping in the highly competitive and diverse grocery marketplace to boycott someone who advocated maintaining choice and a diversity of options in the health care market. Hope all of you have great success boycotting the single payer medical system you long for when you don’t like something it does, and I hope the single one-size-fits-all insurance option you have happens to match your individual preferences.

Michael Goodwin, a New York Daily News columnist, is almost spot-on in describing the raft of empty promises that is Obama Care...

Writing in The New York Times, he guaranteed everything for everyone: "If you don't have health insurance, you will finally have quality, affordable options once we pass reform. If you have health insurance, we will make sure that no insurance company or government bureaucrat gets between you and the care you need.

"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."

Those claims would be credible if they were a multiple-choice question, where only one is true. To say they can all happen at once is a crock, and the country knows it.

Heck, throw in a free puppy for everybody, too.

I said "almost" spot-on because he was off a little there. It's free unicorns for everyone, Mr. Goodwin. Other than that little miscue, it's an excellent column.

Listen to it in the slo-mo part at the end, that's about funny.
As I said at Vodkapundit, you choose your victim carefully for that. Make sure he can't kick your ass.

Every so often I come across a story upon which I don't have a clear opinion.   This is one of those stories:

A 34-YEAR-OLD woman, the mother of a 12-year-old girl, has been locked up in a Virginia jail for three weeks and could remain there for at least another month. Her crime? Blogging about the police.

Elisha Strom, who appears unable to make the $750 bail, was arrested outside Charlottesville on July 16 when police raided her house, confiscating notebooks, computers and camera equipment. Although the Charlottesville police chief, Timothy J. Longo Sr., had previously written to Ms. Strom warning her that her blog posts were interfering with the work of a local drug enforcement task force, she was not charged with obstruction of justice or any similar offense. Rather, she was indicted on a single count of identifying a police officer with intent to harass, a felony under state law.

It's fair to say that Ms. Strom was unusually focused on the Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement task force, a 14-year-old unit drawn mainly from the police departments of Charlottesville, Albemarle County and the University of Virginia. (Her blog at http://iheartejade.blogspot.com, expresses the view that the task force is "nothing more than a group of arrogant thugs.") In a nearly year-long barrage of blog posts, she published snapshots she took in public of many or most of the task force's officers; detailed their comings and goings by following them in her car; mused about their habits and looks; hinted that she may have had a personal relationship with one of them; and, in one instance, reported that she had tipped off a local newspaper about their movements.

On the one hand, all she was doing was exercising her right to free speech and that should never be an arrestable offense if not for its own right than that it may lead to a slippery slope of increasing government censorship.

On the other hand, I am deeply uncomfortable with the idea of a person broadcasting the location and activities of law enforcement officers engaged in very dangerous situations.  Her blogging could clearly cost the lives of police officers who were doing nothing more than their jobs.

On the other hand, the drug war is bullshit for the most part and is clearly involved in some of the most egregious personal freedom encroachments in the history of the Republic.

On the other hand, if this information is so secret and well guarded how the fuck does she know about it in the first place?  I'm inclined in that aspect to advise the police to tighten their lips a bit. 

I'm leaning toward saying that what she is doing shouldn't be remotely criminal so long as she is not intentionally privy to any secret information that may be dangerous in the wrong hands.  Being that she knows the information anyway, it seems that the real security breach is not her blogging but the fact that she knows it in the first place.

What do you Morons think?

I've always said, women aren't strippers because they're pretty;  pretty women become models.  Similarly, people aren't criminals because they're smart:

Police said Tuesday that a woman came across a yard sale that included some familiar items -- her own.Officers responded to the woman's house last week in the 800 block of Reece Road. The woman, whose name wasn't released, told Anne Arundel County police that her home and shed had been burglarized and that a "significant amount" of property had been stolen.Two days later, she noticed the yard sale taking place just a few houses away and observed that items being sold had been stolen from her during the burglary, police said.Detectives obtained a search warrant and recovered about $25,000 worth of the victim's property, which was returned to her.

Now that's a bumper sticker. Too bad it would get your car trashed the first night you had it on. I really wish I had some 1996 POS to put it on.

And for the record, that's the only time I've ever written "LOL" in anything except an ironic way or to explain it.

Stolen from....h/t the Texas Scribbler

Update, I can't fix it, click. It's a bumper sticker with Obama's Pepsi-cola "O" in the between two blue, Ls.
