One.  And I'd lay down every fucking penny I own on the fact that these guys will end up fucking things up, I guaran-fucking-tee it, this is PA, land of Murtha, after all.  Seriously, these gas and oil people are spending a ton of fucking money here in this part of PA, the pipelines aren't even set up yet and people are only starting to dipping into their initial royalty checks, but that's all gonna go away if these idiots fuck it up.

For pity's sake, Rahm Emmanuel actually said something I agree with - namely fuck the UAW.

Of course, the UAW is the one who wound up not being the chicken but still.  I feel dirty for agreeing with anything that Emmanuel thinks.

I received this in my email this morning. I know that most of it probably isn’t true, but it’s funny and truth shouldn’t stand in the way of humor; so don’t go running to Snopes.com and then come back bitching.

A DC 'airport ticket agent' offers some examples of 'WHY' our country is in trouble!

1.I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Cape Town. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted m e with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts ..''

Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Cape Town is in South Africa .''

His response -- click..

3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.

He replied, 'Don't lie to me!, I looked on the map, and Florida is a very THIN state!!'' (OMG)

4. I got a call from a lawmaker' s wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''
I said, ''No.''

She said, ''But they look so close on the map'' (OMG, again!)

5. An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas . I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas .. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)

6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.

I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical de scription on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'

He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''

After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..

8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''
I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''

10. Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''

I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane.
She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''

11. Mary Landrieu , La. Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa.

"Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.''

I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''

12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .''
I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?''

'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.

After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere."

''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!''

So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ' 'You don't mean Buffalo , do you?''

The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''

Now you know why the Government is in the shape it's in!
Could ANYONE be this DUMB?
YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.

Lexington Green attempts to explain what Beck was doing with his rally.
Apparently Beck agrees.
It's a little long but interesting. I don't believe so I was put off a little by all the overt religiosity, but I can't quibble with the rest of the message.
I love America and I love freedom.
Quote
Beck is building solidarity and cultural confidence in America, its Constitution, its military heritage, its freedom. This is a vision that is despised by the people who have long held the commanding heights of the culture. But is obviously alive and kicking.

Far be it from me to order you around, but RTWT.

I just saw this commercial (which has apparently been around for a year) and it's a perfect symbol for the federal government.  And that's not a good thing.

First of all, whoever came up with this seems to think that a "We Are the World"-type video is a relevant frame of reference circa 2009-10. Yeah.

Secondly, whoever decided that it would be a great idea to have a bunch of low-level Treasury Department staffers (I'm just guessing here—they could just as easily been Agriculture Department staffers or Justice Department lawyers who weren't busy working on ways to piss us all off) write a song...not a good idea.

Third, why are there a couple of black-suited, dark sunglasses-wearing agents from The Matrix in there? Seriously, those guys are in there twice. Did the Machines come up with this concept?

Actually, that would make a lot of sense.

Finally, we have Abe Lincoln telling us that this website is "So great, you might just get carpal-tunnel syndrome." Um, what? This government website is so good that you'll become somewhat disabled?

I give it a solid B+.

This picture, while old, illustrates the difference between freedom, prosperity, and hope versus slavery, poverty, and despair better than any words can. The light was provided by 60 years of American sacrifice, as it has been all over the world. Wherever we go, we bring hope and light; wherever the others go, they bring despair and darkness. And I never want my family to have to live in the darkness. And that is why politics has become personal to me. I never, ever, fucking ever want to see any person I know and love subjected to the darkness that the left leaves in its wake (seriously, imagine the world today if today's Democrats were in charge in the 1940s and 50s), and feel compelled to fight anything and anybody who would facilitate the darkness.

I see a battle between the darkness of statism and the light of freedom. And to those on the statist side, I wish them to get freedomfucked with a flaming copy of Das Kapital up their feculent fuckpots. Fuck them for wanting to force the darkness over us. Fuck them for wanting to stand in the way of freedom, and the happiness and hope it provides. And hyperfuck them with a robocock soaked in fuckoil for thinking that subjecting my daughter to a lifetime of debt, weakness, and worry over the future is an acceptable price to pay for the socialism that has ruined every land it touches.

I will not tolerate compromise with those who wish to enslave my family, our side included. And I will not support any politician who wishes to accommodate and facilitate, rather than stop deader than my diet plans, the decline of the last great hope of mankind into second tier status. So fuck you, statists and your enablers. For my daughter's future, go get fucked and leave the country to us.

As someone with a BA in History, I think it's vitally important to note that the fat Indonesian kid who was smoking two packs of cigs a day has managed to kick the smoking habit with rehab.  Rehab was provided for the child in Jakarta by the Indonesian government.

I was going to call your bullshit, but you're a dentist? 

Well, in that case, fuck away!

"I'm a vagrant blogger and I don't think conventional physics theories are getting enough play vis a vis string theory."

"I'm a asteroid mining robot and I really like Jennifer Aniston's hair."

Could his being a dentist have less to do with the rest of his statement?  Is there a word for completely unrelated expositional phrases in a sentence?

Summed up in a brief snippet.

“I think I'll be seeing a lot more of him in the future,” McConnell, R-Ky., said today on ABC/Washington Post’s “Top Line.” “And I think if we have a larger number of Republicans, it will hopefully move him to the political center, which is the way he{deceptively-ed}ran in '08, but not the way he's governed since then. And hopefully,  if he moves to the center or the right of center, we can to do business.”

{yeah, but remember: "I Won" is still his mindset-ed}

McConnell said there are several big areas where Republicans can work with a Democratic White House.

“We're interested in cutting spending and debt. If he becomes interested in that, I think he'll find us a willing partner,” he said. “He says he's for trade agreements. We'd like to ratify trade agreements. He says he is for nuclear power. We'd like to do that. He says he is for clean coal technology. We'd like to do that. I mean, there are areas where we'd ought to be able to work together for the good of the country.”

Yeah, like stopping him and his agenda cold and setting forth an agenda for 2012. But Get Along Mitch won't say that.

Eesh. It's shit like this that has a good part of the not Obama base angry at the Beltway Leadership. This is the idiot who didn't do a whole hell of a lot to stop Obamacare in teh Senate when he could have and should have thrown every legislaive trick out there as he could. But he didn't, for he's Get Along Mitch. And he tried to handpick some very skecthy candidates in red states and has been in DC too long.

Oh well. This tool may be the next Majority Leader. Read and despair.

In addition to the things Ace lists, I believe that this interview with Christine O'Donnell completely destroys whatever lingering credibility she may have had.  Disaster.

I wonder if Michelle Malkin, who endorsed her, will weigh in on any of this?

Okay, how about Erick Erickson?  Hmmm...

Crickets.

Tumbleweeds.

A study of old folks discovered that they like reading negative stories about young people for the self-esteem kick it gives their feeble, demented minds.  (via Slashdot)

Also, get off my lawn.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!11!!!ty.

Seriously, fuck the left and their race hustling. Fuck them for trying to tell people of any color and/or faith what to do, think or believe. Fuck them for thinking they are more enlightened than those who wish to help free people from a perpetual cycle of dependancy. And androidfuck them with Mechagodzilla's robotic fucklever wrapped with a hard earned ticket off of their plantation for thinking they can keep people down with their legislatively enforced slavery to statism and "knowing one's place". 

So fuck off, race hustling lefties. Fuck you for failing the people you purport to lead, and then continuing to try to keep them down so that they depend on you for help. Fuck you for crying racism at every turn instead of truing to fix the structural problems that have caused minorities to remain poor. And fuck you because your "help" has made things worse for ALL Americans.

Eh,. there's nothing going on except Minitru/Journolist trying to explain how 300,000+ people on the Mall is no big deal and, of couse, the usual litany of outrages from Obama.
It's hard to keep up with them all. Especially since I try to limit my outrage/week rate. I get worked up.

Nobody's posting so here's a silly thread for a silly season.
Considering that Hollywood loves to remake good movies and make them worse, why don't they remake movies that sucked into something good?

I wish someone who had actually read the book instead of skimmed it for names had done Starship Troopers.

There are some really bad Lovecraft "B" movies that could be fan-farging-tastic. The SciFi channel should be looking into that. There aren't enough 'e's in the word "creepy" for Lovecraft. Again, it needs someone who has actually read some Lovecraft books.

Any ideas?

Teddy Kennedy has been clean and sober for one year.
Well, sober anyway.
And MP didn't even give him credit for it.

Most of that joke was stolen from Say Uncle in the comments at Marooned.

Seriously, RNC/NRSC/GOP Insiders, after yet another defeat of one of your RINO, deal making, get along fucksticks, will you ever get the message? Will you ever fucking realize that the base of your party and those who oppose Obamanomics will not support you if you keep supporting and forcing upon us people such as the latest soon to be ex-Senator (along with ex-Senators Specter and Bennett and -thankfully- never became Senator Crist and never became Governor KBH).

Just keep it up, you fucking arrogant jerks. Just fucking keep telling us we are stupid for standing up for ourselves and saying "No more". Just fucking keep trying to meddle in primaries and nominating processes. Just fucking keep telling us that you know better than us. And just fucking keep trying to stab us in the face with one hand and have the other hand out for money. Just keep it up, because my answer will be:
