But if we with the "Cadillac" health plans have to start paying taxes
on our benefits, that's a huge middle class tax increase, and we were
promised that wouldn't happen. Rebalancing the pay package doesn't save
us from that tax hit — even assuming our employers would reshuffle
things. Plus we love our great health benefits, and we were told if we
liked them, we'd get to keep them. How is it fair to change the rules
on us after we worked so hard to get what we have? The Democrats,
including Obama, got elected by saying "middle class" over and over
again. They never said they were going to provide for the less
fortunate at our expense, and I don't see how they would have gotten
elected if they had.
Sigh. If the consequences of an Obama Presidency weren't so disastrous, I would savor mocking people like the good Professor. But I can't, since it was people such as her who swore up and down that Obama was a different breed of cat. And now, we are stuck with this shitheap until 2012.

The best part:
They could go the other direction, a 100% tax deduction for all medical expenses (including insurance payments).Yes, that would be appropriate. In fact, why not just do that and forget all the other chaotic changes? See how that works out.
Wow, what a novel idea. That we had in Two-Thousand-Fucking-Six! Good God. What the fuck is wrong with these mouth-breathing window-lickers? Did you honestly believe for a fucking second that Obama was so brilliant that somehow he could finance trillions of dollars in new government programs just by raising taxed on 5% of the populace?! She saw Teleprompter Jesus' ability to read a great speech and what little judgment she had went out the window!
Anyone with a fourth-grade education and a double-digit IQ could see through Obama's transparent bullshit. But noooooo, our intellectual betters knew that he was honest. After all, he went to Harvard.

Yes, yes she did.
've been sitting here feeling completely cool and calm all evening. But that announcement -- that Obama has won -- gave me chills, made me almost cry. Something big has happened.

Suck it Ann.
Obama walks out on the stage in Chicago. He looks happy. It makes me feel happy enough to laugh out loud. Michelle is wearing a very strange dress, black with glowing redness spreading upward and downward from a black X across the midriff. The little girls look elegant, as if they'd grown much older since we saw them this morning. He compliments McCain. He tells his girls they're getting a puppy. He gives us all credit for his victory. We understand "the enormity of the task that lies ahead." (Yikes!) He's going to listen to us, but he wants us to help him "rebuild this nation." "Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility." Let's not be partisan and petty. Let's remember Abraham Lincoln. He was a Republican. He faced a nation more divided than it is now. But he reached out to them. And we share a destiny with everyone in the world. "Democracy, opportunity, and unyielding hope." "America can change. Our union can be perfected." Now, he's in a sing-song poetic part of the speech, with the refrain "Yes we can." The crowd catches on and shouts the refrain. "Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America."
Suck it hard.

Althouse deserves to be ridiculed for buying into HopeNChange™
as she did. However, nine months into the reality of the Obama
administration it's easy to forget just how appealing the belief that
Obama's tack to the center was genuine really was. Had Maverick
McAmnesty not fumbled the bailout (and, indeed, pretty much
<i>everything</i> post-nomination) as badly as he did that
appeal probably would have been greatly diminished. At the time, I
found that there wasn't much to argue with in Althouse's <a
href="http://althouse.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-mccain-lost-me.html">How
McCain Lost Me</a> post, even though I personally felt that
Obama's background was more than shady enough to ensure that I would
vote against him.

Oh, I am never going to admit that Maverick was anything but a horrible candidate, and I am not trying to reimpose what I know now over what we were hearing back then. BUT, I am amused that so many "smart" people bought the Hope & Change "Moderate/Centrist" pitch, while us racist, dimwitted bitter clingers could see through the foolishness from the start.

Yeah I probably should have made it clearer that I was thinking of
Jeff's "anyone with a 4th grade education and a double digit IQ could
see through Obama's transparent bullshit" line with my reply. It's not that it isn't true, it's just that the "smart" folks were hoping that it was the lefties who were the rubes. Those of us in the "we won't be taken in" camp can laugh at both of them for buying the HopeNChange™ and thinking that being a member of the rubes would be an either/or thing!

Re: mee.nu comments, you can use BBCode in the compose box for formatting. Or if you have javascript switched on, there'll be buttons for various special effects, plus one marked "<>" that will bring up a "edit source" window, should you wish to do your HTML tagging the hard way.
And re Althouse and that ilk, IMO the political and chattering classes have a dangerous habit of tuning out what's said in political campaigns (especially on the left) as simply empty rhetoric for the masses. (They've done this before: A lot of people thought Mr. Hitler would be "reasonable" once in a position of power, and then there was that Ayatollah guy... Also note they never give us righties any benefit of the doubt: Elect some Mormon and it'll be hajibs ane prohibition all over again!) Then they get surprised when someone actually starts doing what he said he would.

Sarah Palin's book is number one on Amazon right now, it was in second place when I left for work. I'll be curious to see if she stays up there. I hope she sells five million, then starts filling stadiums with crowds again.
I’m not
pre-ordering a copy. I just can’t deny myself the satisfaction of going
to a B&N in downtown L.A. and plopping it down on the counter in
front of some Lib. If I don’t get a dirt eye roll or a sigh out of
someone I’ll be let down.
Heh. Of course, given the deranged reaction liberals have to her, in a socialist hellhole utopia like LA, leftists may just steal all the copies of the book like leftists on college campuses steal conservative newspapers and newsletters.

Getting taken for a ride
I can't stand people who talk on their cell phones or send text messages while they're driving, but do we need to make a Federal case out of the issue?
Democratic Sens. Charles E. Schumer of New York and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota spoke at the event to promote a bill they are co-sponsoring that would require states to implement a ban on texting while driving or lose 25% of their federal highway funds.
"We need every state to put safety first," Schumer said. "We need a ban on texting while driving in every state across the country and we need it now."
If the states want to ban this sort of behavior (like mine already has) that's their business. But why does the Federal government have to butt in and dictate how people behave while they're behind the wheel? Is that even constitutional?
That last question has, sadly, become more or less rhetorical.
1
It's every bit as Constitutional as the double-nickel federal speed limit used to be.
I'm fairly sympathetic to this. I tried, tried texting while driving once. I gave up after about five seconds, realizing that I would probably kill myself if I tried for another five seconds. Drunk driving while on the phone and getting a hummer is probably safer than texting while driving.
Posted by: JoeCollins at September 30, 2009 08:56 PM (jtJig)

Texting while driving is borderline suicidal. That said, fuck this.
First of all, how does a cop know if you are texting or if you are just dialing a phone number, which would still presumably still be legal? It is just a blanket excuse for a cop to pull over anybody they want. Just like the 'you have to wear a seat belt' law.
Second, it figures that Amy Klobuchar would have her hands on this, being the Dumbest Person in the Senate (a title for which the competition is fierce). 2012 can't come soon enough.

Others have already remarked on this analogy, but I want to add my voice because the parallels to Israel then and America today turn my stomach: I have no problem with any of the substantive criticism of President Obama from the right or left. But something very dangerous is happening. Criticism from the far right has begun tipping over into delegitimation and creating the same kind of climate here that existed in Israel on the eve of the Rabin assassination

They seriously have no other argument but to assume the very worst. I wonder what they would say if the worst did happen and it was a black person to do the deed? What would they scream and yell then?

Let me retort
Please note that I am not responsible for the sudden increase in Rage and blood pressure upon watching this:
Congressman Alan Grayson - on the floor of the House - stated that Republicans want you to die quickly.
Well, Congressman, since you believe that I do want you do die, let me retort. I shall provide you with the same level of grace and dignity that you provided in these comments.
Fuck you. Fuck you with the barbed cock of Satan. Fuck you sideways with a chainsaw.
Look, you ignorant sack of puss, if you really believe this, then pass a bill to make being a Republican illegal. I mean, the logical conclusion to the idiotic idea that your one firing synapse developed is that Republicans are guilty of pre-meditated murder. No. Seriously. It is. Grow a pair and do it. Make being a Republican fucking illegal. I beg of you.
You ignorant fucking toad, I hope if your mother is alive she doesn't see that so she doesn't die of shame that her child would open his mouth and prove that he's such an ignorant piece of shit that he makes Al Gore look like a genius. If she's passed, then I hope she haunts you.
What the ever loving fuckity fuck is WRONG with people? I am so fucking sick of hearing how the Republicans are so angry and so mean. Gee. Huh. Why the hell would I be angry at being accused of wanting people to die? It's a mystery!

As his pregnant girlfriend was dragged upstairs,
he begged them not to harm her, but one of the men hit him with the
butt of the gun.
He told Crimewatch: 'I pleaded, I was shouting, "She's pregnant, she's pregnant, leave off her, tell me what you want".'
The three men left in the Audi after grabbing property including a mobile phone, iPod, cash, debit cards and a laptop.
Police
decided to offer the reward after failing to trace the gang. They have
released images of three men caught on CCTV at a nearby shop a few
minutes before the attack, whom they wish to question.
Sadly, why is it I have the feeling that if the victims had fought back, they would be the ones arrested?

Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo used profanity as he criticized Gov. Steve Beshear and his support of Mongiardo’s U.S. Senate candidacy in a recording posted last week on the Internet.
In the recording, which was placed on YouTube by someone using the name “senrace2010,” Mongiardo is heard saying he is so frustrated with Beshear that he is “close to saying f— it all. I do not need this job. I do not need the U.S. Senate.”
Mongiardo is also heard saying that Beshear, who has endorsed Mongiardo, will be remembered as the state’s “worst” governor and that a “blowup” is coming.
Heh. Oh, and here is the audio (Warning! Naughty language)
St. Andrew is Piece of Shit
Once again, he can't openly state what he believes so he publishes an e-mail that manages to insult Palin's intelligence and push a ridiculous conspiracy theory at the same time.
I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this, but those 400 pages probably surprised
everyone. I'd bet there are whispers in Alaska that she didn't look like she
had been writing non-stop for months. The question on everyone's mind but that
everyone's afraid to ask openly is, did Bristol write Sarah's book?
Funny.
Wow, this may be the last post I write about anything he says because I find myself censoring every response I have to this degenerate lunatic. And if I'm self-censoring, I'm thinking of writing some very fucking nasty shit.
For the last time, Sarah is Trig's mother, vastly more intelligent than you and unimaginably more humble and good as a person. Oh, and those rumors you love so much from Alaska seems to be almost universally bought and paid for.

Much like MSNBC, if people would stop watching/reading so that they have fodder to blog about, their audience would simply dry up and blow away. It's not like #1-3 on the list have jobs to spend money patronizing their advertisers, so the value of the remaining audience pretty much drops to zero.

It's early enough in the morning, I'm betting very few of you are too drunk to understand this, unless you're still recovering from last night.
Thesurvival probability of immobile targets annihilated by a population ofrandom walkers on inhomogeneous discrete structures, such as disordered solids,glasses, fractals, polymer networks, and gels, is analytically investigated. Itis shown that, while it cannot in general be relatedto the number of distinct visited points as in thecase of homogeneous lattices, in the case of bounded coordinationnumbers its asymptotic behavior at large times can still beexpressed in terms of the spectral dimension and itsexact analytical expression is given. The results show that theasymptotic survival probability is site-independent of recurrent structures (2), whileon transient structures (>2) it can strongly depend on thetarget position, and such dependence is explicitly calculated.
If you are too drunk, here's a simpler explanation.

This is stupid. It assumes zombie movements are completely random, which is not the case. A zombie, upon locating a source of living flesh, will attempt to get to it relentlessly. Zombies also have a tendency to follow one-another. So, once you have a zombie that spots you, you will end up with a metric shit-ton of zombies trying to eat your brains.
The key is to kill any zombies that have spotted you. If that is not feasible, the next best solution is to get the fuck out of dodge and set up a compound with the other survivors away from any of the old population centers. This minimizes the risk of random zombie encounters.
Posted by: Jeff M at September 29, 2009 09:36 AM (8P3+x)
Yes, but Alex, the major disadvantage of edge weapons is that it allows - no, requires - the attacker to be within biting distance before you can off it. It also requires no defensive bulwarks be between you and the zombie hoard.
I feel very confident in saying that edge weapons should be a last resort in any real zombie attack. I think flame throwers would be my first choice, because I just can't get over how fucking awesome it would be to see the undead fuckers burning like crispy critters.

Co-founder of Women Overseas for Equality angry at Swiss for detaining child rapist
Yes, a co-founder of a feminist group, Outraged!TM, that the Swiss seized Roman Polanski for drugging a 13 year old girl, then forcibly raping and sodomizing her. You read that right. Dingbat posts this shit at HuffPo, the odd thing though, if you look, most of the commenters are saying they're glad the fucker has been detained. So there may even be a disconnect between the leftist elite and run of the mill leftists on this one. Interesting.

BrewDog offers up big fuck you to UK prohibitionists
Win barely edges out the FAIL Britannia tag. BrewDog is a brewery in Scotland...something's missing, ah,
What can I say, part Scot, I gotta have more cowbell bagpipes, and Scotland the Brave is kickass. Anyway, BrewDog is a brewery in Scotland, and they created a particularly potent beer, which is about 18% alcohol, or about 36 proof, which is very high for beer. Anyway, a bunch of UK nannies threw a shitfit, made a big stink about it, won't someone please think of the children, etc, ad infinitum. The folks at BrewDog did exactly the right thing, put out a 2 proof beer (1.1% alcohol), and named it Nanny State. Of course this is the response from the dour, humourless fucktard Nanny Staters,
Jack Law, chief executive of Alcohol Focus Scotland, said of the new
Nanny State beer: "This is a positive move which proves that low
strength doesn't compromise quality.
"However the name of the
beer proves that once again this company is failing to acknowledge the
seriousness of the alcohol problem facing Scotland."
It must be hell being this guy, probably stays up at night having absolute panic attacks over the thought that someone, somewhere is enjoying life.

tree and mutilated while six other victims were nailed to pieces of wood and killed.
Villagers who found their bodies near the town of Nzara said it was like a "grotesque crucifixion scene", the Catholic Herald reports {as opposed to a clean one?-ed}.
Bishop Eduardo Hiiboro Kussala of Tombura-Yambio is appealing for
international help to stop the cycle of violence and attacks by members
of the Lord's Resistance Army, saying the government at home appeared powerless against it.
No, Bishop. I hate to say it, but I get the feeling that the "government" of Sudan, as awful as it is, probably condones, or will at least look the other way, as this savagery happens. And you know what is odd? Suddenly, leftarded Hollywood types don't seem too interested in Sudan anymore. It's almost as though something happened within the last year or so to change their minds.
