National Enquirer up for Pulitzer Prize

Next thing you know, they'll start taking bloggers seriously.

Update: Yes, hell *has* frozen over.  For some reason, Alexa and Lucianne.com have decided our little slice of intarweb bacon is one of the top 100 conservative blogs.  I seriously have no idea how these rankings are determined.

Haig RIP

Alexander Haig is dead. (link via Ace, but I saw the news on TV)

He did some truly great things, but he will always be remembered for his statement that he was in control when Ronnie Raygun was shot.

I'll always remember that, I saw it on TV and I laughed my ass off.
I have to admit, it was a bit of hilarity on a not so pleasant day.

I understand why he did it, but it was still just funny.

The Dick Cheney Commemorative King Kong Sized Brass Balls Of Awesomeness And Ass Kicking Award For Today

A while ago, somebody (and I forget who at this point. How's that for awesome fucking research?) said that gay conservatives are tougher and more manly than straight liberals. Well, given what happened today at CPAC with GOProud, and their refusal to give in to the shitheels and fuckheads who wouldn't know tolerance and acceptance if it came up and skullfucked them with the cactus of doom, I would say so.

As a result, I award GOProud the Dick Cheney Commemorative King Kong Sized Brass Balls of Awesomeness and Asskicking Award in the Field of Fucking Up The Other Guys' Shit And Being Fucking Awesome. I also give a second place award {insert award title here} to the people who booed that fucktickling fuckbaffler of fuckingly fucked up fuckheadedness and fucking fuckfluffering off the stage.

Brafuckingvo, folks! And yet again, when shitheels are stood up to, it gets noticed, and our enemies become rattled and disoriented because their playbook has been scrambled. And little by little, the meme the left has created of "Oh Noes! Teh Bigotz And Wingnutz!' loses credibility and becomes more ridiculous, and those who throw that smear around become even bigger fools than usual. That is what was and is so fucking awesome about what happened.

Another piece of WIN! for this incident is how it appears to have rattled some on the left. I will not link to the site, but as Gabe mentioned over at Moron Central,   when prominent and influential gay bloggers write the following:

To the White House, the DNC, and our leadership in Congress: You are messing with people's lives, and we know it. And the day that an anti-gay bigot gets booed at CPAC, you all better start being very afraid.

you know they are floored by what happened.

So, kudos to GOProud. Enjoy your award. And here is a musical tribute:

I hope this gets laughed out of court

I say that I hope so, but I've got a sinking feeling that it won't happen...

A Seattle woman's lawsuit against the state of Washington claims the Work First welfare program violates her right against "involuntary servitude."

Christal Wood, a University of Washington law school graduate who said she and her young daughter became poverty-stricken while she was studying for the bar exam, said she is suing the state under the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution over the practices of the Work First program, KING-TV, Seattle, reported Thursday.

It turns out that she's not a fan of the terms of the program, which doesn't allow her to count her internship at a law firm because it's not a non-profit.

Well, too bad, so sad is what I say. It sucks that she and her daughter have fallen on hard times while she's trying to become a lawyer, but I hardly think anybody forced her to participate in the state's welfare program. Which, while I'm not a law-talkin'-guy, would seem to me to make it kind of difficult to argue that this is some kind of "involuntary servitude."

If she doesn't like the terms of the program, maybe she should leave it and try to find some other sort of employment. Some other employment that pays more than a whopping $453 per month, at that.

Ummmm, that's the whole point.

It always makes me laugh when people say, "The public option is dead" and it makes me laugh harder when they act surprised when it isn't dead.
I'm not trying to pick on Allah here, I could be talking about Charles Krauthammer, Fred Barnes or any talking head.

What they don't seem to realize is that the Dems don't want to "Reform" healthcare, they want to take it over. They don't give a shit about how well it works, they want to control it.

If they cared, they wouldn't spend all their time attacking drug companies (who've helped extend human life about 2 decades over the last 30 years), and Obama wouldn't be running around talking about amputophilic doctors instead of saying something like, "Our healthcare professionals are the best in the world, the chaotic system is failing them." or whatever the hell collectivists believe.
No, they want the public option, they want Britain's system. They want power.
I don't see them settling for just paying off campaign donors with their legislation.
Couple that with the cap and steal deal and the EPA's bullshit "Plant Food is a pollutant" bullshit, and they were trying to take total control of every aspect of our lives.
An absolute nannyarchy.
For our own good because we're just too dim to not have benevolent, intelligent, masters.

Leave It To Newt Gingrich To Snatch Defeat From The Jaws Of Not Defeat

Good fucking grief! What the fuck are you doing, Mister Speaker? What teh fuck fuck fuckity fucking with the gavel fuck are you doing? Work with these fucking assholes? Seriously?

Sadly, I think you are serious.

The Republicans should not be afraid to walk in with a series of positive ideas and to work with Democrats on legislation in a genuinely bipartisan fashion. Some GOP partisans so deeply distrust Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate majority leader Harry Reid that they assume even meeting with them is an act of betrayal. But Republicans should have confidence that they can always say no to bad ideas. Indeed, they should be open to the possibility of finding supportable measures that would be good for the country and totally compatible with their values.

Which would mean saying "no" to anything Obama offers.

Look, why should I listen to a guy who walked into budget negotiations with Bill Clinton, only to be surprised that he would roll him? Why should I listen to a guy who urges bi-partisanship when the voting public is saying "hell no" to the current Obamacare proposals? Why should I listen to a guy who tried to play nice with the media and Democrat establishment (the Mediacrats) that openly mocked and refused to return the favor? And why the fuck should I listen to a guy urging bipartisanship when telling the Democrats and their plans to fuck off with the brush they use in curling worked in NJ, VA, and MA?

Mister Speaker, Obama is wither going to push his piece of shit legislation through via parliamentary tricks, or he won't, regardless of what we do; the fact that he hasn't done so already suggests he is having trouble, so why help him? Why help him ruin the country, especially when the country is ready to punish him and his party later this year? Adn why help piss off a good part of your own party's base over something your party doesn't want?

Mister Speaker, I loved what you did in 1994, so please learn your own lessons from that time and realize that this is a different time, with different rules, problems, and solutions. Helping this crowd, especially since they told us just last year that "shut up" and "I won" were reasonable debate points, negates any reward for bipartisanship and makes efforts toward such self defeating and foolish. And helping them off the ropes only will piss off and alienate those of us who are ready to vote the party you used to lead back into power.

I wish you well, Mister Speaker. But please stop sitting next to Nancy Pelosi. Her botox is seeping into your brain, and the results are not pretty.

Heart of stone, etc.

Oh. Oh this one is nearly too easy. Never let it be said that I pass up anything too easy.

So. Over that HuffPo, Rabbi Michael Lerner discusses Post Traumatic Obama Abandonment Syndrome.  (safe link to WSJ making with the fun).

Where shall I start?  How about with pointing and laughing AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH

Srsly, if you go all True Believer on any politician, you deserve it when your wee little heart breaks.  Sure, I love Reagan and miss him desperately but I'm also cognizant of his flaws.  Politicians are humans and, generally, not very spiffy humans at that.  Poor little precious ones, all upset because The One turns out not to be.  Yeah.  Welcome to Earth!

Second, I love how everything has to be a syndrome or a disorder or a disease now.  It can't be that one was a rube or duped.  No, no, no, it's that one is suffering from a traumatic event and experiencing emotional distress as a result.  Uh.  Huh.  That's it, it's a disease.  And we all know you can't blame people who are sick.

Third, let's go back to the pointing and laughing.  You thought that Obama was going to be elected and then the entire country would be run in accordance with the wishes of the Hard Left.  AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. 

Fourth, I do appreciate the recognition that Obama's crapped all over his staunchest supporters.  Mmmmm schadenfreudey goodness.

Colofornia

That's where President Obama thought he was visiting yesterday.

Obama's appearance has convinced me of two things:

1. Michael Bennet is, indeed, going to lose his seat. Since Obama's done such a stellar job for everyone he's campaigned for so far.
   
2. Obama is like that pimply desperate boyfriend, the one who got the hot girl by pretending to be her friend, getting her drunk, and then fooling around with her while she was out of it. He's convinced that if he brings her back to the place where he first 'seduced' her, if he can just get one more everclear-and-punch cocktail into her so he can blur her judgment again, he can convince her to stay. Obama keeps coming back to Colorado thinking that if he just does things right this time, he can get back that faux-Parthenon magic from a year and a half ago.  But the hot girl is starting to realize her friends are pointing and laughing at her and she gave up her virginity to someone who can't even string together a coherent sentence.

Paint Huffer Guy plans on suing for royalties

I don't think this'll go anywhere, mugshots are public record.  If I remember correctly, the reason he was brought to rehab in the first place was because a rehab director saw him wandering the streets and recognized him because of his pics on the intarwebs.

Liz Cheney, RINO

She called for the end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell in an interview with Talking Points Memo.

Why do you hate the troops so much, Ms. Cheney?!

Your tax dollars at work

Oh, for fuck's sake, people...

A Seattle fortune company cookie has unveiled a line of cookies bearing messages on behalf of the U.S. Census Bureau.

Yes, really. They're actually spending money—your money—to put Census crap in fucking fortune cookies.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they've come up with some kind of program to hire high school kids to stand next to everyone's mailboxes on weekends, twirling those stupid arrow signs that property managers normally use to point people toward condos for sale.

Racist, Bitter Clinger Blasts Obama Message Team And Calls Them Lazy

Oops. I meant to say John Aravosis.

The problem with the stimulus messaging is, well, the stimulus messaging itself. The problem is the White House messaging operation. It kind of sucks. And while Joe and I were living in Democratic exile over the past year for being the Cassandra's who saw all of this coming early on, nowadays it's pretty much accepted around town that the WH has been losing the messaging war with the GOP on a lot of issues. The stimulus isn't the problem, it's the symptom. We had the same issue come up with health care reform, a wildly popular idea that somehow the White House just couldn't sell.

I'm not going to write a graduate thesis here on marketing. But at times it feels as though the White House messaging folks - and I'm talking Axelrod's shop - don't think they even need try to sell what the President peddles. It's as if they think they're all so smart, and what they have to offer so obviously good for America, that the President's agenda will magically sell itself to both the Hill and the American people {that, and they assumed the MSM will carry their water, thus keeping them lazy and from having to have a strong message game-ed}.

It won't.

Democrats suck at marketing while governing. And while Obama was (generally) great at it during the campaign, so was Jimmy Carter.

Wow. Look, I don't expect Aravosis to become a Tea Partier, but when one of the most loyal shills Obama has writes this, this is not good. But, of course, the blame is not on Obama; notice the blame is placed on the message team. But who hires and ultimately manages the message team?

Oh well. This is gonna get good.

(W)hoever designed the Obama administration's bank rescue plan is “either in the pocket of the banks or they’re incompetent.”

Nobel prize winning (Keynesian) economist Joseph Stiglitz said that.  He has a new book out called Freefall and was discussing it on KUOW today.  Most of it is the usual BS but he does make a couple good point about the banks.

Seattle area morons - He will be speaking at Townhall next Friday, any interest in a meet-up?

More than Teddy Kennedy?

So far Global Warmmongering has killed at least 4 people in Australia.

The Aussie PM decided to save Gaia by subsidizing foil insulation in people's houses.
So little known fact, foil insulation can electrocute people.
Well, little known to Aussie PMs.
Electricians formally warned Environment Minister Peter Garrett that metal roof insulation could cost lives months before he banned it.

Oh, so maybe it wasn't little known. Well, now that people are dying and there's an uproar,
Mandatory training starts on Friday - almost a year after the program began, despite a string of warnings that untrained installers were dangerous and reports of homes catching fire because of poorly installed pink batts.

Yay! I mean, it's not his fault. Just because he was warned and stuff.
After all, he's a lefty. His biggest problem is that he cares too much.

What's a few dead installers between friends? Bah. Working class drudges. There's plenty more where they came from. Too many if you ask your average global warmmonger.

Via Tim Blair, who's been covering this for a couple weeks. I've been expecting it to be covered here but nobody's touching it.
I guess all the revelations about global worming "science" has been good for at least one person.
