Whiskey Fire

Or else

I think Obama wins until the GOP demonstrates they have a candidate capable of appearing on camera wihout looking utterly batshit.

Fuck the jobs data. These clowns are... clowns taking coke.

This -- this is meth.

Just Asking

Why do even minor male characters in comic books sport totally ripped arms even if they are otherwise portly?

 

 

Balls!

Elizabeth Warren is embroiled in wrongdoing!

Still, members of the public would not be able to find her panel salary unless they cross-referenced it with her executive disclosures, which are available through the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.

HITLER.

The prospect of electing a single senator who understands and cares about what is happening to America seems to terrify certain folks.

Weird.

I want Elizabeth Warren to be in charge. 

My Petition for the White House

As noted by Wonkette, "The White House pretty much launched the project noting that they would not actually pay any attention to proposals they didn’t like..."

Therefore:

I forgot a line I was going to put in there, "And keep pretending it's the mean Republicans and stubborn Blue Dog Democrats that make you do it." Anyways, I need 4,999 more signatures for my official White House review:

Thank you for creating a petition on We the People! You now have 30 days to get 5,000 signatures in order for your petition to be reviewed by the White House. Until your petition has 150 signatures, it will only be available from the following URL:

So if you're sitting around with too much time on your hands, please go sign my petition.

The Failure of the Lame-Stream Media

Sarah Palin apparently remains in existence. Super! Whether or not she continues to do so is to ourselves a matter of perfect indifference. However, we did enjoy this from Big Dumb Breitbart.

Setup.

The awful launch week for the over-hyped, expected bestseller The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, by controversial author Joe McGinniss, just got worse. Much worse.

Punchline.

After a week of universally scathing pans from the reflexively anti-Palin establishment media, McGinniss now faces the fight of his literary life....

Funny part here excerpted:

After a week of universally scathing pans from the reflexively anti-Palin establishment media

Huzzah!

Potomac River at Hancock, Maryland

Random Fact! The state of Maryland narrows to less than two miles wide in the Hancock area—the smallest non-vertex border-to-border distance of any U.S. state. It is at the junction of Interstates 68 and 70.

The Familiar Bluet and Hagen’s Bluet are so close in appearance, if they haven't been given an expert examination in the hand with a magnifying glass, they should be recorded as Enallagma civile/hageni.

Horace's Duskywing (Erynnis horatius). That's my guess, anyways. Other candidates are Wild Indigo Duskywing and Meridian Duskywing.

Atticus Fucked

Georgia speaks:

It is a sin to not fry a mockingbird.

Also, fuck.

Deep in the Heart of Blow Me

All right then. Michael Barone says that because Keynesian policies have succeeded in Brazil, we should reject such policies, because of Europe, which is in trouble for moving away from such policies, and also SOCIALISM.

Presumably this is all to do somehow with gay climate change.

Also at Townhall, Cal Thomas explains that Texas is better than all other states because many Texans enjoy watching college football.

Texans share a connection not found in any other state. Last week, I took my daughter's car to have her tires checked. She recently moved back to Washington from San Antonio and her car still has Texas plates. A man wearing a University of Texas cap yelled to me, "Go Texas!" That doesn't happen with Vermonters.

Vermonters are lame. It is known, KhaToddy.

Texas is a place where you can put down roots. The friends one makes there are often friends for life. Again, it's difficult to explain this to people who have not been baptized into Texas. A brief visit won't do it.

Only Texans know... love.

Anyhow, blow me. Rick Perry is a dumb, shallow asshole, and Texans let him boss them around. They shoulda had integrity, like us New Yorkers, where we more than once elected George Pataki.

Or something. We are still butch!

Any newly arrived Mexican could write something that sucks less than the crap Cal Thomas pukes up. Even without translation.

Dog-Infested Waters

Dennis Prager! Townhall!

Last week, David Brooks of The New York Times wrote a column on an academic study concerning the nearly complete lack of a moral vocabulary among most American young people.

The "study," in this telling, shows that young people talk crap when grownup sociologists badger them about "morality."

I'm not going to comment on any sort of academic study I have learned about by means of Dennis Prager quoting David Brooks. I will however cite the following from Prager as a wonderful enapsulation of the Wingnut Scientific Method:

Ever since I attended college, I have been convinced that either "studies" confirm what common sense suggests or that they are mistaken.

That's just fantastic.

The rest of the piece is about how because Liberals killed God, kids today think it's "with it" to drown humans and rescue puppies.

Without God and Judeo-Christian religions, what else is there?

Getting high and having incredible oral sex?

This latest study cited by David Brooks confirms what conservatives have known for a generation: Moral standards have been replaced by feelings. Of course, those on the left believe this only when a writer at a major liberal newspaper cites an "eminent sociologist."

No joke required.

deer orbs, the suet feeder, and such as

Out in the back 'yard' this A.M.:

Tragedy!

Comedy!

I will try to put the damned thing back together and forgo internet blegging...FOR NOW!
