Fuck you Captain America! (?)
Via the Jawas, we see this link to Right Wing News about Captain USO...errrr...Captain America. Some blog nobody reads commented about how he's embarassed about the American flag. Now? He's opining on how the Tea Parties are racist. A black superhero is thinking about infiltrating but... Quote "I don't exactly see a black man from Harlem fitting in with a bunch of angry white folks,
And no, Falcon is not talking about getting a job at CNN or MSNBC. Quote from RWN After this we find that the Captain's plan is to send the black man
into a redneck bar to pretend to be a black man working for the IRS and
to get everyone all mad
So, Captain America is NBC in disguise? Double fuck you.
I never really was all that into comic books, I just read my brother's, but this pisses me off. Next up, the Haunted Tank will listen to J.E.B. Stuart and start running down black folks outside tea party events.

Damn you Gorequemada! (shakes fist)
Okay, so DC had a freaking blizzard (pics below the fold of the view out of my window 3 days later) and the Federal Gov't has been closed for two days. Yes, they closed yesterday and today. Yesterday I agreed with, too many people didn't have power and the roads were really, really bad. Today? It would just be a pain in the neck. Although, the buses still aren't running regularly and most streets are still just packed snow. But that's another shitload of money down the chute. But that's not the point. Another blizzard is on the way. Possibly another 10-20 inches. And why? Why are we the target of every snow cloud out there? MoFo global warmmongering bastids! The blizzard (s) is delaying their pronouncement “More and more, Americans are witnessing the impacts of climate change
in their own backyards, including sea-level rise, longer growing
seasons, changes in river flows, increases in heavy downpours, earlier
snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons in our waters. People are
searching for relevant and timely information about these changes to
inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives,” the
release says.
Fuck you. You know? Fuck you. Global worming pics below the fold. more...
A thought experiment
Okay, let's imagine the most angry, hateful MSM reaction to the Tea Party movement. Is it sneering? Is it condescending? Is it everything you thought it would be from a liberal douchebag like Joe Queenan?

You know what I think really really really pisses off most of the Left? Those on the Right don't give a shit about being cool. I accepted my lack of coolness and inherent geekiness at a very early age (I possibly may have had some gentle assistance by my peers in reaching such an epiphany). So I don't give a flying fuck if people don't think I'm cool. That is so outside the worldview of much of the Left that they can't conceive that I hold my views based on rigorous analysis and careful consideration not what some jackass thinks of me at a party.

Seriously, "cool" may work when trying to get laid, but Vlad The Vicious, the Chicoms, or al Qaida take some guy acting as though he wants to be the leader of a poetry circle as a sign of weakness.

It's hard out there for a climate scientist fraud
Phil Jones, one of the main douchebags at the center of the Climategate scandal apparently considered committing suicide over the whole thing. He's been getting some nasty emails urging him to do just that, and while I disapprove of that sort of shit, I had forgotten about this little detail from the leaked emails between Jones and his asshole colleagues...
In another email, the death of a leading climate change sceptic is described as "cheering news".
What goes around comes around, fuckstick.
Oh, and...
Prof Jones said he was knocked sideways by the worldwide outrage that followed the leaking of the emails.
No, he was knocked sideways (and, I hope, fucked sideways) by the leaking of the emails because it exposed him and his buddies as some of the biggest, most expensive frauds in recent history.
Oh, and watch the widdle baby cry some more...
“I am just a scientist. I have no training in PR or dealing with crises," he said.
Um, first of all, you're emphatically not a scientist. A scientist starts with a hypothesis and looks for data to confirm that. He or she doesn't make shit up to confirm that hypothesis. And a scientist certainly doesn't collude with colleagues to hide evidence or fudge data that contradicts his hypothesis. Who does that? Fucking liars and cheats, that's who.
Oh, and you don't know anything about crises? What the fuck have you been peddling throughout your entire dishonest career? You fucking took a made-up crisis and turned it into a goldmine of international research grant money, and now that you've been exposed as a fucking phony, we're supposed to feel some sympathy for you?
I hope you don't commit suicide, mostly because I'd rather see you in prison.

Chris Matthews Has His Priorities In Order
Twelve minutes bashing Sarah Palin? Twelve. Fucking. Minutes? Oh, and nice to see your feminine cattiness coming through with that "balloon head" reference.
Ugh. Fuck him. Fuck him with a tetanus laden bag of clyster pipes soaked in the the fuckbarrel of fucking fury and festering fuck. Fuck him for his sexism, idiocy, and fucking fuckheadedness. Fuck his jealousy and rage for having a handful of shitty books that nobody ever bought, and a show nobody watches, while this "balloon head" has a mega ass kicking book, speaking, and TV gig. And fuck him for being so stupid, I feel compelled to mention it.

Green Police
Mike D. asks, "Where the hell is the dpud thread on the freakin Green Police commercial!?!"
Right here.
It was about 2 seconds into the song when I said to my friends, "The 'green police' come into my house and start fucking with me and I'll fucking shoot every one of them in the fucking FACE."
From there, my confidence that there would be epic bloodshed should some group of hippie cock-gobblers try to arrest me for using a fucking plastic grocery bag increased steadily.
Just to be clear, enviro-nazis, if you try to force me to be "green" I will force you to bleed severely from one to many holes in your torso and genital region. You can pry my Styrofoam take out container from my cold dead hands. Of course, if I were a betting man I'd bet that your hands would be cold and dead long before mine.

See for me, it was a touch creepy. Mostly because some of the folks at the Superbowl party I was at were all "right on" and cheering this thing. I mean... wow. I'm no conspiracy nut. But it's damned scary when your fellow US citizens actually think that arresting folks for having incandescent bulbs or asking for plastic bags is anything less than monstrous. It'd be one thing if it was just the greenies laughing at their own foibles. But this was wish fulfillment type crap. Seriously scary shit there.

The paper or plastic thing it started out with has been a pet-peeve for years. I grew up near a paper mill and anything that smells that bad cannot be environmentally friendly, paper is heavier so costs more to ship per unit, uses a lot more energy to produce, it cannot be reused much and recycling paper is a very dirty business.
ok /rant off

I didn't want to write about this, but since fozzy brought it up I can't resist.
Plastic is much better for the environment than paper. He already mentioned the increased shipping weight. It also takes up ten times as much space in a landfill. The fact of the matter is that paper takes thousands of years to fully biodegrade, so for all practical purposes it is not biodegradable. Further, the plastic that bags are made of can be fairly easily re-melted into more bags or anything else that is made out of polyethylene.
And I don't know about how bad paper smells when it is made, but corn syrup smells like a rotting bag of assholes.

Translation
Quoth the Head Mad Mullah ...Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that Iran is set to deliver a "punch" that will stun world powers during this week's 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution.
I saw this a few days ago, but held off posting it, since the claims made by this guy are a bit dicey, and he is a lefty more upset that a declining Specter spells a Toomey victory. And the thought of kicking a man who is apparently in decline kinda bothered me.
But, I slept on it, and said, "Fuck It! Let's air it!" I mean, how many shady to downright phony allegations of health/mental condition/sexual proclivities/etc. have the lefties used over the years in an effort to defeat a candidate, sway a vote, or impact a policy paper? In that case, why can't we use unscripted video clips against them as well, especially when a big time lefty utters something this interesting?
Look… Does anyone think Specter makes the mistake he made with Bachmann 5 or 10 years ago? 5 or 10 years ago, does he awkwardly climb up on the stage while his primary opponent is being interviewed at an event ? At least Kanye West was drunk!
Dementia isn’t something you wake up with one morning. It’s not something that comes upon you suddenly… It’s a progressive affliction.
The problem for Specter and Pennsylvanian’s {sic-ed}trying to decide who to support in the primary is that the decision is one they’ll be saddled with for six years (assuming Specter can beat Toomey). If Specter is showing signs of dementia today, they are pretty mild. He’s still capable of campaigning, legislating and, in general, doing what he needs to do to be relevant today. The problem is he can do all that with 95% of the capacity he had 5 years ago. But next year where will he be? 92%? 90%? 80%?
So, enjoy this guy, Democrats. He's your problem now.

I don't know if it's dementia but he has been gravely ill for some time. I think he's doing better now but he very nearly died a few years back. Maybe he's losing it, maybe it's meds, maybe something else.

While the dementia hypothesis is interesting, I interpreted Specter's interruption of Sestak as an ultimate alpha-male piss-on-your-leg move, to which Sestak completely acquiesced. (If you watch the video, Sestak is actually apologizing at the end... for something, though I'm not sure for what.)

Quick! Someone needs a fainting couch!
Oh dear heavens. So the president of NOW is now having a hissy fit over the Tebow ads because they glorify violence against women.
NOW president Terry O'Neill said it glorified violence against women. "I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it," she said. "That's what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don't find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself."
For anyone who didn't see the ads, one of them shows Tim tackling his mom. It's cute and funny and all about a football player horsing around with his mom. It is aggressively stupid to even intimate otherwise.
Credit where credit is due, there are those on the pro-abortion side who are all "yeah that's crazycakes":
Not all abortion-rights supporters agreed. "It's absurd to claim that
this is an endorsement of violence against women," said Frances
Kissling, former president of Catholics for Choice. "These people came
across as affectionate, loving, funny and happy."
Really, being unable to differentiate between a happy family having fun and OH NOES ABUSE is not something which commends a person's intelligence and wit.

That ad was for people who haven't seen the commercial because they were too busy yesterday manning the phones at domestic abuse hotlines because of the tremendous upsurge in men beating their significant others on Super Bowl Sunday.
You know, ignorant fools.

I've said this elsewhere, but this is gold for the pro-life side: basically you have all these loons on the left proving, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they don't care about 'choice' unless it's as a synonym for 'abortion' and they're letting it all hang by disparaging some of the most innocuous TV since Ozzy and Harriet--hopefully they keep it up for as long as possible!

What gets me is that, even if it had explicitly mentioned being against abortion, it wasn't about passing a law, it was about her "choice" and what came of it. It appeared to me to be an ad saying that having an abortion isn't the only "choice".
As we've seen over and over, with Palin for instance, leftists only seem to respect one "choice".

NOW should rethink their policy of letting Keef Olberdrama write their press releases.
D'oh! Now I'm a candidate for the "WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD!!11!!"
1. Saying in FBI custody =/= knowing that he was going to be treated as a normal criminal and not a terrorist. 2. What were the Republicans supposed to do? Say unmirandize him? Deciding to put someone under the protections of the criminal justice system is kind of like being a little pregnant. Either you have the rights or you don't. 3. To belabor this point, The Won won. He's in charge of policy. The Republicans can (and should) bitch about it, but the Republicans aren't in charge. 4. What are we, six? Last I knew but Moooooooooooooooooooom Timmy did it tooooooooooooooooooooooo was not an acceptable excuse. 5. Do I look that stupid to believe that the Republicans are at fault for not, idefk, storming the castle, hauling him out by his hair and flying him to Cuba in one of Cheney's black helicopters? Because that's the implication I'm getting.
I understand wanting to deflect the blowback on this. But this is aggressively stupid.

Color me a little skepticalThe Daily Mail is reporting that a US Soldier stationed at Ft. Lewis has been accused of waterboarding his 4 year old daughter because she couldn't recite the alphabet.
The link they attempt to draw is that his service made him do it -
Police have not revealed Tabor's military service, but his base is home to units that have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I'm a little skeptical. First, I haven't heard this reported on local news so I kind of doubt the story in general. Second, Parents abuse kids everyday and it has nothing to do with military service so this is a cheap shot at the military.

Waterboarding my kids? Never thought of that before. I can always use a new trick in my arsenal.

I'm not convinced he "waterboarded" his daughter. This doesn't quite sound like the description of the process I've come to know as "waterboarding".
"As his daughter 'squirmed' to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline."
Oh My God, This must be stopped! Captain America is to be a USO performer
director Joe Johnston and the team at Marvel Studios have a plan for "The First Avenger: Captain America," which is due in Summer 2011: They've added a new wrinkle to the classic mythology to explain why a scientifically enhanced super-soldier would venture out in the WWII battlefields in a costume that leans a bit heavy on the old Betsy Ross imagery.
"The costume is a flag, but the way we're getting around that is we have Steve Rogers forced into the USO circuit. After he's made into this super-soldier, they decide they can't send him into combat and risk him getting killed. He's the only one and they can't make more. So they say, 'You're going to be in this USO show' and they give him a flag suit. He can't wait to get out of it."
You have to be fucking kidding me! What kind of fucktard even dreams this shit up?
This demands a boycott! Tell your friends make it clear that we want Captain America as he was meant to be a Soldier by Christ. Not a USO performer. (Not that there is anything wrong with the USO but come on...).

You guys aren't getting it. It isn't that he is a USO performer. Toby Keith performs for the USO as did Marilyn Monroe etc. Go USO. It's that they are deliberately trying to camp up Captain America. His origin has always been very straight forward. He wanted to enlist and couldn't. Took super-soldier serum - became Capt. America. Was sent to Europe as PVT Steve Rodgers (an infantryman) and did double duty there fighting Nazi villains like the Red Skull. They are screwing up an icon.
If they want a USO performer who is embarrased about running around in a flag costume create a new one.
For that matter why would Captain America be embarrassed about his costume. He was always very patriotic. Or is it the audience that's supposed to be embarrassed? (There is a hint there). I bet in this universe US soldiers don't wear flags either.
That's my issue, that the quintessental American hero is no supposed to be embarrassed about being an American hero.
Posted by: chad98036 at February 08, 2010 01:15 PM (g/flt)
It starts out that way and then he comes around to realizing the power of the symbolism and comes to accept it--what is wrong w/ that?! To me, that sounds like a really good parable for how a lot of liberals have gone from left to right where they started out scorning American and, in time, came to love it when they realized that what they were standing against was actually a force for great good in the world.

Chad, I don't think you read the whole shtick-- he's pissed BECAUSE they stuck him in the USO when they realized they couldn't make any more, and didn't want to risk him being killed. It's the kind of idiot-ball thing that's just barely believable.....

I don't think you read it carefully enough, because at the very beginning they say they want to change this because people will giggle at a flag, so they decide to incorporate it as a gaudy USO costume.
How that will make people giggle less I don't know, and how does a USO costume enable him to lead? That's would be like dropping Evel Kneivel in Iraq and saying hey he has a red white and blue costume with stars, follow him.
As I read it they find the actual idea of Captain America a little embarrassing so they are camping it up.

Chad-
Red-white-and-blue spandex with floppy boots, a projectile shield and wing-ears isn't exactly standard issue; it looks like exactly what it is-- a costume. You hand that to some random guy in the field and tell him it's his outfit, and I don't care if you chose the world's best Marine-- he'll laugh. This just isn't easy to pull off, cold, and trying to do so would be campy.
In the comic book format, it's perfectly normal-- like Wolverine's yellow outfit. Stuff just WORKS in comics.
In movie format, it has to be explained for an origin story-- same as they did with Spiderman's outfit, and as they avoided doing with Wolverine and the Black Leather Brigade.
how does a USO costume enable him to lead?
It doesn't, in and of itself. It just makes him very easy to recognize. The traits he got from the Super Soldier program let him lead-- and the USO stuff makes sure that EVERYONE knows he's a dang good soldier.
Origin movies have to answer "why?" in a way that the audience will accept.
Goal: have The Captain, following the same basic story as his actual origin, end up in a costume that at the very least keeps with the essence of his original.
Problem: it ain't a uniform. It takes a LOT to pull off a flag costume without looking silly, and that's before you get to the floppy boots, big gloves, head-wings and shield.
Solution: make it all symbolic, make him annoyed not to be in an actual uniform, then make him realize the value of the symbolism.

hrumph...maybe they would dig up the Kinks song "Stop me now I'm falling"...
I grew up reading comic books in the 70's and 80's - the 90's were so bad for all the old heroes because they always had to "reinvent" and throw away the past 20, 30, 40 years of history and stories.
This just doesn't surprise me anymore...Spider-man and Iron man movies did surprise me with how good they were...X-Men, Daredevil, Blade, Wolverine, etc are really the norm - this sounds like it will fit the mold.
It's just sad to see how what I grew up on is ignored....so many good stories and villains just forgotten (Looking through some newer stories since I stopped reading in the early 90's Red Skull and Baron Zemo were Nazis hell bent on taking over the world to taking over large corporations and acting very "Republican-like" instead of unbalanced world destroyers/conquers).

Fed up with requests for bribes and equipped with a zero rupee note, the old lady handed the note to the official. He was stunned. Remarkably, the official stood up from his seat, offered her a chair, offered her tea and gave her the title she had been seeking for the last year and a half to obtain without success.
Culture is a bitch, because this makes no sense to me, but I'm glad it seems to work. Hopefully some sort of tipping point against official corruption is being reached. Shame and fear are powerful social weapons.

Since we all know the commercials are the best part
Someone brought up the Terry Tate, Office Linebacker ads on the Super Bowl open thread at the Head Moron's. Those are awesome. Particularly this one:
Apparently, on my first night out in 3 months, our computer decided to contract a pretty nasty Trojan, so my computer is out of commission for a few days, and I'm not going to be around until it is back.
But, I thought I'd pop on a friend's laptop just long enough to say WHO DAT!
That is all.

One a day plus Irony
Awww, poor global warmmonger. So one of the tools from the email scam is whining about how he was thinking about killing himself because of the pitchforked crowds. Eh, just so-so funny. But then he gets over the top funny. “I am just a scientist. I
have no training in PR or dealing with crises.”
Hahahaha... oh wait, he's serious. Tool. The whole point of that deal is that he was acting as a PR agent instead of as a scientist, he had to hide the truth because recent data would just confuse idiots who think the temperature of the Earth has something to do with the Sun. And all of a sudden he can't deal with a crisis? After years of bleating about the crisis and then demanding $billions to fix it? Tool. Via Althouse
This looks like a job for.... Gorequemada!
The IOC just needs to think outside the box. It's been above freezing in the mountains where they're having the Winter Olympics so they're busing and flying in snow.
Why not convince Al Gore to stage a global worming protest? Maybe have a "Reopening" of An Inconvenient Truth at all area theaters at the same time.
If that doesn't scare up a blizzard I don't know what will.

No word from any of the CT morons that any of our people were there, thank goodness. But since all of Connecticut only has about a hundred people in it, the whole state must have been at the plant. Which is only about a mile as the crow flies from the Inn at Middleton, BTW.
