Do it. I triple dog dare you.

So. The House wants to get around that whole pesky actually voting on bills thing huh?

The tar, feathers and pitchforks would sure as hell become literal if this happens. 

I must say, it's nice to see the happy happy fun fun mask of democracy get yanked off and the true face of liberal Dem tyranny be revealed.

Let's see if I have this right

Walmart offers sale price on black Barbie.

Black liberal advocacy groups cry raaaaaaaaacist, black Barbie should cost as much as white Barbie!

Walmart apologizes and says, by all means, let me mark up those Barbie prices for you!

Liberal advocacy group cries Excess Profits!  Raaaaaacist!  Capitalist Greed!

Walmart says, fuck you, I'm Walmart, then visits People of Walmart for shits and giggles.

Imitation is the sincerest form or jackassery

So, a huge group of citizens are pissed off about the statist overreach of Obama, Reid, and Pelosi, and the Tea Party movement emerges.

So, after that happens, a bunch of lefties, led by Obamaton Annabel Park form the Coffee Party movement.

And, now, the malcontents on the troofer fringe have decided that the latter isn't good enough (no link to the lunatic Alex Jones' prisonplanet site) and are forming the Real Coffee Party:

The fact that the Coffee Party was originally proposed as a reaction to the infiltration of the Tea Party by Alex Jones listeners and Ron Paul supporters weeks before the emergence of the establishment front Coffee Party led by Obama campaign operative Annabel Park goes to show once again that our efforts to form a non-partisan resistance movement against the big government agenda is under constant assault from a system desperate to uphold the integrity of the phony left-right paradigm.
Oh, and the Alex Jones people are suggesting that the Tea Party has been subverted by the "neocons."  Shocking, I know.  Furthermore, the Tea Parties were originally about abolishing the Federal Reserve and getting our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. And helping Ron Paul. Yes, really.
 
I'm disinclined to believe anything that comes out of the Alex Jones camp, but if the Coffee Party idea came from them in the first place, it's even more ridiculous. And fun.

If you had it your way...

...Saddam Hussein would have received 99% of the vote. Again.

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. Today, the people of Iraq went to the polls to choose their leaders in Iraq’s second national election. By any measure, this was an important milestone in Iraqi history. Dozens of parties and coalitions fielded thousands of parliamentary candidates, men and women. Ballots were cast at some 50,000 voting booths. And in a strong turnout, millions of Iraqis exercised their right to vote, with enthusiasm and optimism.
And you did what, exactly to facilitate that process? Oh. Nothing. You opposed the war and the Surge, and you didn't bother to mention the word "victory," though you were good enough to mention the people who fought and died to make this happen.

Oh, and the despot who had ruled the country for decades before our troops went in there and plucked his murderous ass out of a fucking filthy hole? You know, the guy who ruled as a dictator there for decades? I didn't notice a mention of him in your speech. Or the multitude of people who he murdered.

You worked hard against this election, you fucking asshole. You should be apologizing to the people of Iraq.

Matt Yglesias Gets Paid For This?

Seriously, pal, I could understand your aversion to understanding the inner workings of the Constitution, as you are a leftist and view it as a "living" document which you feel you could blithely ignore anyway. But when you venture off down this path, I really wonder if your brain has been fried or if you are just plain old stupid or seriously advocating a turn in the direction of unaccountable despotism.

"...US officials seem to know better than to indulge in the patriotic myth that our constitution is the greatest system of government ever devised."


The fact that this piece stayed up over at the the Podesta-Soros funded Think Progress tells me what they think of the Constitution, which is scary. And which prompts me to say:

But how will we see the stupid coming?

Are we about to have to add a WTF is wrong with Louisiana tag, too?

A Lafayette lawmaker is reviving a failed bill that would make it illegal for people to wear low-riding pants that expose underwear.

Democratic Rep. Rickey Hardy has proposed the bill for the legislative session that begins later this month. The measure would outlaw sagging pants or any other clothing style that "intentionally exposes undergarments" or more.

Violators would be fined up to $500 for a first offense and ordered to perform 40 hours of community service.

Although not mentioned in this article, the local news broadcast today said that you could face jailtime by your third offense.

The biggest problem I'm having with this is I don't know which joke to go with.  Do I go for a stupid fashion police dig?  Go for the, But if we make'em put on normal pants, we won't know who to profile as dumb gangsta kids?  Plus, think of all the whores and their thongs - Britney Spears won't be able to come back to her hometown!  Sadly, this has all ready made it to law form in a few Cajun towns here in the bayou.  A few others shot it down, and, of course, the state shot it down 2 years ago.

If at first you don't succeed, fail, fail again!

Al Gore, PhD?

I don't get worked up about these silly honorary PhDs that colleges give to VIPs. But the fact that the U of Tennessee wants to award one to Manbearpig is quite humorous.

Thanks to CBullitt.

But quick! Let's have the government be in control of everything!

I think this story is the best summary ever of why I'm on the libertarian side of things.

A couple in California cannot get their names off the list of child abusers even though they've been found factually innocent. 

It appears that California, For The Children, created a system where anyone accused of abuse, note that's accused, not convicted, is listed on a state list as a child abuser.  What the state didn't do is establish any way to get off the list if/when the accusations are found false.  Kafka would be proud.

The article doesn't being to approach the reality of how bad this is.  The Ninth Circuit, in a rare display of competence, found that the parents' civil rights were violated, found that the county can be liable for damages (shocker, apparently cert. just got granted on that)* and ordered that the state change the system. 

I tracked down the Ninth Circuit's opinion and here's how it starts:

Appellants Craig and Wendy Humphries are living every parent's nightmare. Accused of abuse by a rebellious child, they were arrested, and had their other children taken away from them. When a doctor confirmed that the abuse charges could not be true, the state dismissed the criminal case against them. The Humphries then petitioned the criminal court, which found them “factually innocent” of the charges for which they had been arrested, and ordered the arrest records sealed and destroyed. Similarly, the juvenile court dismissed all counts of the dependency petition as “not true.”

Notwithstanding the findings of two California courts that the Humphries were “factually innocent” and the charges “not true,” the Humphries were identified as “substantiated” child abusers and placed on California's Child Abuse Central Index (“the CACI”), a database of known or suspected child abusers. As the Humphries quickly learned, California offers no procedure to remove their listing on the database as suspected child abusers, and thus no opportunity to clear their names. More importantly, California makes the CACI database available to a broad array of government agencies, employers, and law enforcement entities and even requires some public and private groups to consult the database before making hiring, licensing, and custody decisions.

This is incredibly strong language for any court to use, let alone a federal circuit court.  Also a finding of "factually innocent" is profoundly difficult to obtain.  This isn't a case where there's some question.  They.  Didn't.  Do.  It.

Every court involved says they didn't do it.  All the charges were dropped.  They were found innocent.  The Ninth Circuit ordered the state to get their names off that list.  To date?  No changes.  Their names are still on there.  And there's absolutely no one who seems able to just freaking go into the computer and take their names off.  It is completely and totally insane that their names are still out there.  But there you have it.

Welcome to the power of the government.  These are people who did the right thing.  They were falsely accused.  They went through the system and were found innocent.  They went back to court to clear their names.  The court told the state to clear their names.  But yet, there their names remain. 

I cannot think of a greater illustration of the dangers of government.  The state set up a system that puts names on without an process for getting names off.  The courts can tell the state what to do but if the state doesn't do it, well, that's that. The Court made a ruling.  Now enforce it. 

This is a perfect illustration of government out of control.  These people did nothing wrong.  But they're On The List and can't get off, no matter what.  It's this type of sheer utter brutality that makes normal people become enraged. 

*I'll admit, I'm fascinated to find out what will happen with the county being open to liability. The county's position is that there's no discretion about adding the names to the list and so it can't be liable.  It's an interesting legal dilemma, who is liable when a local entity is obeying a state mandate.

Spell Check Fail

No looking backwards found this facebook entry by one David S Bernstein and apparently didn't notice the glaring spelling error.
Quote
Saddest (sic) campaign-finance-report entry I've seen in a long time: Martha Coakley for Senate Committee, $1165 expenditure on Jan. 19, 2010 (election day) for "confetti machine"

For future reference there Mr. Bernstein, even though spell check allows it, "Funniest" isn't spelled the same as "saddest".

The Twat Does Not Like Transparency Wen It Hurts The Agenda Of His Dreamboat

Fuck you, David Frum. Fuck you and that fucking smug demeanor with which you carry yourself for getting in a twist over We The Peopled emanding our Congresscritters be held accountable and visible.And a hearty fuck you with the fucking fucklingly fucked up salmonella infused fuckturtle of fucked up fuckbaggery for writing an article so full of douche, the cast of Jersey Shore called to tell him he's a douchebag. 

Take this quiz. Name the most important legislation enacted in the 30 years between 1950 and 1980.

Overwhelming isn't it? Civil rights. Voting rights. Interstate highways. Medicare. Medicaid. The deregulation of the airlines, natural gas, trucking, rail and oil. The immigration act of 1965. Clean Air, Clean Water, and the Endangered Species Acts. Supplemental Security Income in 1974. I could fill the whole screen.

Now ... the next 30 years.

There's the Reagan tax cuts of course. Deregulation of the savings & loans in 1982. The Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. Welfare reform in 1995. Medicare Part D. What else?

Leave aside whether you are liberal or conservative, whether you approve the measures mentioned above or disapprove. It's hard to dispute: Congress just got a lot more done in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s than in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

Why?

You hear many grand, sweeping explanations. Let's try just one simple one.

Congress in the first period was controlled by a handful of committee chairmen, who owed their positions to seniority. The committees did their work in secret. Bills written in committee typically could not be amended on the floor of Congress. The institution was authoritarian, hierarchical, opaque. And stuff passed.

In the mid-1970s, Congress underwent a revolution. The power of the committee chairmen was broken. The number of subcommittees proliferated. The committees met in public. Amendments multiplied. Congress become more open, more egalitarian, more responsive. And stuff ceased to pass.

Oh boo fucking hoo.

Has it ever occured to you, Mr. Twat, that government inaction and not being able to function is a good thing? Hell, that's one of the main fucking points which animates the party in which you nominally claim to participate. But I guess all you rally fucking care about is that the empty suit and his Ivy League degree you supported gets a legislative "victory", right?

Sigh. Just fuck off and become a Democrat already, you fucking idiot.

What media bias?

Ummmmm, nevermind...

It’s an expression that knows few boundaries: bulging eyes, gaping mouths, flared nostrils with teeth exposed, seemingly ready to snap.
And nobody ever noticed anything like that during anti-Iraq or Afghanistan protests, right?

Right?

Stan Isaacs brings the stupid

Is this guy really getting paid to pen this sort of consummate idiocrity?

This may come as a surprise to some people, but the U.S. Constitution does not specify the size of the Supreme Court.
...
So if nine justices is not writ in stone, the embattled President Obama should deal with this hostile conservative/reactionary court by adding three members.
I suppose this sort of unrivaled gibberish should be expected from someone who doesn't recognize that 9+3=12, and having twelve justices doesn't lend itself to tiebreakers. 

So, since we have a few Keystone bloggers here, would any of you care to explain how, with a state unemployment rate of almost nine percent, Stanbecile still has a job?  Is the Philadelphia Inquirer such a miserable place to work that the only people they can hire are cretins with a poorer understanding of math than my four-year-old?  I'm fairly certain that if I walked in with a box of a dozen chocolates, and asked her if they could be divided evenly with her brother, I'd receive a correct answer.  Yeah, she might have to count on her tiny fingers, but she's not getting paid by a major metropolitan newspaper to do simple fucking addition, is she?

Party like it's 2008

Did you see the Hot Air post on the "Coffee Party" movement?  If you didn't, their founder, Annabel Park is claiming that it's an alternative to the Tea Party movement that's based on stuff like "cooperation" between the parties in Washington.

Um, yeah. You may want to sit down for this, but it turns out that Park is (GASP!) an Obamaton...



Well, I guess she had some foresight there about Obama taking over bankrupt companies, so she's got that going for her.

By the way, it took me about ten seconds to find that video and decide to mention that Park was an Obama supporter going back to the 2008 primaries. Which was apparently too difficult for WaPo Staff Writer Dan Zak, who never mentioned it in his article, though he took pains to mention that another of the new Coffee Party group's members, Alan Alborn, voted for George W. Bush and Obama. Yeah.

It's bi-partisan, see?

Update: Gee, Ms. Park sure is a real non-partisan voice for Change in Washington. How did that (and by "that," I mean her previous association with an organized leftist convention) possibly slip Dan Zak's attention?

Well, we may never know.

Do you take blood pressure meds?

If the answer is yes, you might want to gulp down a handful or two before reading this post by former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy:

The Obama Democrats have outdone themselves.

 

While the country and the Congress have their eyes on today’s dog-and-pony show on socialized medicine, House Democrats last night stashed a new provision in the intelligence bill which is to be voted on today.It is an attack on the CIA:the enactment of a criminal statute that would ban “cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.” (See here, scoll to p. 32.)

 

The provision is impossibly vague — who knows what “degrading” means? Proponents will say that they have itemized conduct that would trigger the statute (I’ll get to that in a second), but it is not true.The proposal says the conduct reached by the statute “includes but is not limited to” the itemized conduct. (My italics.) That means any interrogation tactic that a prosecutor subjectively believes is “degrading” (e.g., subjecting a Muslim detainee to interrogation by a female CIA officer) could be the basis for indicting a CIA interrogator.

There's much, much more at the link, and it's all fucking disgraceful. Oh, I'm sorry, I meant to say smart, strong.

Dear California

Fuck you. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. Fuck you and your fucking fuckpuddle of fuckingly fucked up fucking fuckbag of fuck.Fuck your fucking fucked up set of fucking priorities and general fuckheadedness in the fucking face of fuckingly fucked up economic and budgetary times.

The rest of next week will be officially swear-word free if both houses approve the resolution {fuck that shit. Fuck it with the fuckstained fuckbag of fuck-ed}.

The resolution by Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, D-La Canada Flintridge (fuck him. And fuck that area.-ed}, was inspired by a South Pasadena teenager, McKay Hatch, who founded a No Cussing Club {I guess Student Council was too butch for him-ed}at his junior high school in 2007. His efforts to stamp out profanity have generated international attention, with 35,000 members joining the No Cussing Club's Web site {oooohhhh....I now have a purpose in life!-ed}.

Portantino said the California Legislature -- known for imposing strict clean air and clean water laws {yeah, and how has that fucked up the state?-ed}-- is the first state legislative body in the nation to consider a statewide profanity-free week {fucking losers-ed}.

Hatch, now 16, said he sees a link between cussing and drug use, bullying and other harmful behavior {prove it, junior. I curse, and yet have never used drugs-ed}. A cuss-free world would be a more harmonious one, he said {and it would be more fucking lame, antiseptic and fucked up with the fist of Fuckitude-ed}.

"I want to bring as much awareness as I can to people about their language and how they're speaking to each other," {hey. I'm fucking wellfuckingaware of how I speak-ed}Hatch said in a telephone interview Wednesday as he was headed to Sacramento. "We need to stop tearing people down and uplift them instead." {that is some weapons grade naivete-ed}

Portantino said his resolution is simply a guideline, a reminder to "act like you're at your grandma's house." {so I get to sleep on the couch in the lobby in the middle of a party and get ass ripped drunk on a case of beer? Sign me up!-ed} There would be no enforcement mechanism included. {typical. Stupid fucking hippies-ed}

Good luck, kid. I admire your pluck. As for the Assembly, they can fuck off wit their failed budgetary plans.
