I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Wherein Veeshir is confused.
You've all seen the story about the Dems cutting food stamps to pay for some children's deal.
But nobody seems to really think it's important that the cuts don't take effect until 2013.
Which means they'll never happen. If they don't fund food stamps enough, does anybody think it won't be added as a rider in some supplemental defense bill or something?

These are phantom cuts.
I understand it's fun to go after Dems for stiffing the poor (hoist ont their own retard, so to speak), but, and here's my confusion, wouldn't it make more sense to go after them for phantom cuts? They don't intend them to go through.

H/T Krauthammer, he didn't seem to think it was important that the cuts didn't happen until 2013, but he's the only one who's even mentioned it.

Kate Mara has a little sister

And I thought that at least one of our bloggers would be interested that she's been cast as Lisbeth Salander, but he hasn't even bothered responding.

This is Rooney Mara, Kate's little sister.  Kate and Rooney are great-granddaughters of the founders of both the Steelers and the Giants, BTW.



It's amazing how few cheesecake shots of Rooney are out there.

In case you've forgotten who Kate Mara is...

And now for something completely different

Have some random dancing videos, just because watching people be amazing at what they do always puts me in a good mood.

Astaire was 50 when he did that, btw.



Oh Mikhail, seriously, you're unreal.



When I think class, I think Gene Kelly. Also, I can't even stand up on roller skates.



As DPud put it so well, crapblog needs moar Aishwarya.


Oh, Cyd. Greatest. Legs. Ever.

There's chocolate in my peanut butter again

Or at least, the video game equivalent.  Nazi zombies are returning for Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Don't worry LA Times, the fun's only starting

The LA Times made the error of daring to speak out against a branch of the liberal Sturmabteilung, in this case the LA teacher union, thus far the union is only calling for a boycott of the LA Times, which will prove ineffective, because precious few actually read the LA Times.   Just wait till the union thugs start beating you Times guys in the streets like they do Tea Partiers, then the real fun begins!  But anyway, here's the line that matters in the Times' editorial,

"You're leading people in a dangerous direction, making it seem like you can judge the quality of a teacher by … a test," said A.J. Duffy, president of United Teachers Los Angeles, which has more than 40,000 members.

So...much...FAIL...

Is This The New Normal? If So...

The most helpless feeling I ever had in my life was watching my then two year old daughter in an emergency room, tubes and needles all over the place, as she fought an illness that damn near killed her if we were living anywhere but the home of medical innovation and lifesaving creativity instead of the socialist paradises of Europe and Canada. The worst part was knowing that nothing I could do could or would make her suffering go away, and that all I could do is sit next to her, and hope that the doctors, medicines, and equipment buzzing and clicking around us would do their job. Thankfully, everything worked out, and the little one is healthy and happy, no worse for the wear. In fact, she starts Kindergarten later this week.

When my daughter was sick, and her life threatened, medicines and technology saved her life. Same goes for my mother, who, thanks to the American Medical Establishment, will probably beat the freak strain of cancer that tried to kill her after the surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation that she has had to endure. All because America was and is the land if all things possible. All because science and medicine was allowed to flourish here without the rationing vise of Government squeezing it by the head.

That was, until Obama's head of Medicare and Medicaid decided to start doing what those of us on the right said he would do: ration and deny medicine and new treatments, all in the name of whatever the hell it was Rationed Medicine wanted.

As I read this, I thought of something: is the shitty care we feared (and the left called us bigots for proclaiming) The New Normal? Is the hopelessness, rampant unemployment and international humiliation The New Normal? Is a worse life for my daughter than I had at her age The New Normal? Will she or any of the other women in my life be denied life-saving care, or a better future, because a bureaucrat said so?

As I look at my wife and daughter asleep in their beds and worry about what would happen to them if they ever became so sick that a bureaucrat denied their treatment; as I help my mom around her house because the (hopefully) life saving treatment she is enduring has ravaged her body to skeletal appearance, yet knowing she survived because she started her treatments before Obamacare came into being; and as I see my sisters going to get mammograms at an age far earlier than most, in order to make sure they stay on top of any potential threats, I think of "The New Normal." I think of what the left (helped along by the convenient silence of Big Feminism on these issues) has done and wants to do to their futures. I think of their attempts to tell us that we must accept this diminished lifestyle as "The New Normal", and that we are racists and bigots if we say otherwise. I think of that, and I say to those who tell me I must accept the shit sandwich:

You go sign up now!

One of the hazards of getting in touch with old friends is finding out that scary things are happening in their lives.

Haley is the younger sister of a guy named Paul who was one of my closest friends as a child.  Paul and Haley's dad introduced my mom to my dad, and their parents stayed with me while my mom was in the hospital giving birth to my sister.  Paul's uncle owned the land next to my grandparents' house, and since I was shipped off to stay with my grandparents for months every summer, we spent a lot of time together.  Paul and Haley are both good people.  I remember Haley as a kid as a little blonde angel with a huge smile.  I'm sure Paul could share some different memories of a pesty baby sister. 

I just found out that Haley's husband Thomas has had a rather rough time of it - he has been battling cancer since he was 14 and recently underwent a bone marrow transplant through the NIH.  The NIH covered the expense of the transplant, and so they didn't go through their high-risk health insurance for approval.  As a result, their health insurance is refusing to cover any of their aftercare and so Haley and Thomas are stuck footing the bill for $500 worth of medications every week. 

Haley and Thomas are in desperate need of financial help, and are also asking for people to sign up for the bone marrow donor registry.  Because Thomas is a patient, the fee to join the registry will be waived if you enter promo code THR0210.

Even if you don't feel like throwing cash at people you don't know, please sign up for the marrow registry.  You don't have to have holes poked in you to sign up, it just takes a cheek swab.  Odds are you won't even match and so you can feel all charitable and do-gooder without having to actually do anything.  And if you do match and end up donating your marrow, I'm sure we can think of some sort of blog reward - maybe alex will even send you a pic.

If the Obamas have the money to take trips like this, maybe they're not paying enough in taxes.

Only in PA

Pizza delivery guys get attacked by a dude with a bow and arrow. 

True story from when I was a kid, my folks' house was in need of new roofing, beyond the fact our shingles were looking like crap, and the window-licking painters had spilled a gallon of paint on the roof that summer, the roof had developed a leak (it's an old house).  What had happened is what happens in PA during winter, lots of freeze/thaw cycles, and the freezing and thawing damaged the roof, so we had leaking in the office, started as a small damp spot, by February it was real mess, had to make do with tarps inside and out and buckets till spring. 

So anyway, spring comes finally, and we hire a contractor to put on new roofing and fix the water damage caused by that winter.  Does the work well at a fair price, roof looks great, all the water-damaged parts of the roof and room are repaired...all is well with the world.  Then about a month later, we're coming home from school...and there's a fucking arrow sticking out of our roof!  Please note, this is in the city, a small city, but a city nonetheless.  Folks called the contractor and asked if they'd pull this arrow out of our roof and repair it as needed, they sent a guy over and did it gratis, which was cool. 

No idea where the arrow came from, somebody loosed it into the air based on the angle it was in the roof, but definitely strange to see that...I'd expect that kind of thing at my grandparents' or aunt's place, not in town though.

Since Captain Islam Is So In Favor of it Now

Just thought I'd pile on with the historical significance:

Throughout history, Muslim conquerors have demonstrated their hatred and disdain for all other religions by purposefully erecting mosques over some of the most sacred and hallowed places of Judaic and Christian worship.

The al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem is built on top of one of the holiest sites in Judaism, the Temple Mount.  The former St. Sophia’s Basilica, once the world’s largest cathedral and orthodox patriarchal basilica, was torn down and replaced with the principal mosque of Istanbul.  The Cordoba mosque in Spain was a former Christian cathedral.   Muslims have engaged in this practice for centuries, symbolizing their victories over the infidels.

Their attack on the WTC was an attack on what they perceived as a temple to America's worship of money.  They don't understand that it was the loss of life that precipitated our violent response, not the loss of some symbol.  Still, they are now completing the cycle by dropping a temple on the site of ours. 

I don't believe that all Muslims are violent or dangerous but I DO believe that the origins of that religion are opportunistic, violent and expansionistic.  It was, in many meaningful ways, a cult of personality intended to expand and consolidate the power of Bedouin Arabs in the Saudi Arabian desert.  Mohammed was not a good man but he surely wasn't stupid*.  Many millions of Muslims have taken that origin and turned it into something good but there is no lack of historical motivation to engage in these types of behavior and it must not be tolerated. 

Jerusalem is a Muslim holy city BECAUSE it was holy to Christianity and Judaism.  It was necessary for them to claim it as such so they could eventually conquer it and destroy the holy buildings of the other religions.  For the same reason, every place they have conquered in the west has magically become another holy place. 

This is just the next step in supplanting our claim to New York as ours and adding it to the list of conquered places they've taken from the infidels.

* - I would compare Islam's early history to the early history of the Mormon church.  A cult that eventually became something more and better than its roots.

May God have mercy on their souls

That's the prayer I'd be offering, were I a religious man...

Libya will mark the first anniversary of the release of the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Al Megrahi by thanking God for Gordon Brown and Kenny MacAskill, the two men who let him go.

 Colonel Gaddafi, the country’s dictator, has ordered prayers to mark Friday’s anniversary of the decision to free Al Megrahi from a Scottish prison on compassionate grounds.

The Libyan leader is keen to avoid a repeat of the international condemnation sparked by the decision to give the convicted terrorist a hero’s welcome when he returned to Libya on August 20, 2009, allegedly with just three months to live.

The families of the 270 people who died in the 1988 bombing of Pam Am Flight 103 were furious at what they saw as scenes of triumphalism at Tripoli airport, with large crowds cheering and shouting.

A spokesman for the Libyan leader said: ‘The celebrations this year will involve people giving thanks to God for Brother Al Megrahi’s release, and marking the event with their own quiet celebrations.’

He added: ‘People will pray for Al Megrahi and give thanks to those who helped free him, including former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Scottish Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill.

‘This is what the Brother Leader [Col Gaddafi] wants. He does not wish to cause offence in other parts of the world, especially in Britain and America.’

You know what wouldn't "cause offence" anywhere other than your backward, goat-fucking, Jew-hating, gay-hanging, rape-condoning part of the world?

HOW ABOUT NOT KILLING INNOCENT CIVILIANS IN TERRORIST ATTACKS, YOU FUCKING BARBARIAN SHIT-COCK-SNIFFERS?!!!

Despite this official nervousness, youths across the country will pay their own tribute by wearing the same kind of white baseball cap that Al Megrahi, 58, wore at the time of his release. Many will also have his image blazoned across T-shirts.

‘Brother Al Megrahi is massively popular across the country – a real hero,’ said near neighbour Hamid Najiz. ‘Young people love him, and many new babies have been named after him.’

That's right, people in Libya are naming their kids after a mass murderer, but we have to be careful about what we say about a mosque built on the graves of thousands of our countrymen who were killed by the same kind of assholes who would name their kids after themselves if they could score any pussy in this life. And they couldn't.

Fuck that. Fuck that all to hell. Fuck that until eternity calls back and says "Are you sure you want to fuck that?" and I say "Fuck yeah, I fucking do!"

(And may God bless the victims of this vile terrorist, and I hope he will excuse my profanity.)

Remember This Whenever The Left Claims To Be Pro-Business

Psst..they're full of shit.

Known as Section 199 relief, the deduction in question has been available to companies engaged in energy production, as well as manufacturing, for several years as an incentive to encourage operations and employment.

However, under an amendment introduced by Baucus, which could be voted on in the Senate next month, that deduction would be eliminated for certain players in the energy industry.

According to a memo obtained by Capitol Confidential and written by Senate Finance Committee staffers Scott Mulhauser and Erin Shields, the Baucus amendment is intended as a substitute to another introduced by Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.).  The Johanns amendment is itself intended to modify the Small Business Jobs Act.

The memo states that “the Democratic alternative… would repeal Section 199 of the tax code, which currently allows these corporations to deduct six percent of their income from oil and gas production from their tax liability, effective December 31, 2010.”

Sonomabatch

Now this really pisses me off.

South Korea hasa crapload of Garands they want to sell to Americans but Obama won't let them. No, Obama isn't named, but he's in charge of the US Gov't.
The story says, "Hundreds of thousands" early on but then they say 86,000 Garands and 22,000 carbines so that's only about 100,000, as we all know, journalists are all stupid and/or ignorant, so I'm going with bad math, but that's still enough for me to get one of each.
Bastids. Mudder pocking sonsomabatching icehole bastids.

No no he doesn't support support it.

So when Obama said he supported the Ground Zero mosque, he didn't mean that he supported supported it. As always, Hank says it best.
