Once moah. Wif Feeeeewing. Slublog covered it, Ace covered it, now it's Veeshir's turn. I'll be less long-winded (surprise, surprise). John Brennan says the GOP shouldn't politicize Obama's handling of the War on (Some) Terror.
Ummmm, weren't you the asshole who on Sunday said the GOP knew all about giving a terrorist the same rights I have because you called them and told them the FBI was on the job? An assertion that was patently ridiculous and untrue?
So who's politicizing what now? Typical fucking Obama official. Always blaming everything on everybody but yourself.

I called dibs on the shotguns and shells in the coming ZA.
Who knew that Emmerich was a prophet?
(Also since I got the blu-ray of ID4 the other day, you know what's a fun game - trying to count how many American flags are in it. I'm starting to understand why some of my insane lefty friends now hate that movie. Good times, good times)

TNR hammers Sully for his anti-Semitism
Moronbloggers have known this about Sully for ages, but this TNR guy does an excellent takedown, even if it is from a liberal perspective.
In April of 2009, during a discussion about offshore exploration in San Francisco, Salazar said that President Obama directed him to “to make sure that we have an open and transparent government” and that “these are not decisions that are going to be made behind closed doors.” Salazar went on to say that President Obama wanted to make sure that DOI was “maximizing the opportunity for the public to give us guidance on what it is that they want to do.”
Yet, more than four months after the comment period ended, the Department of the Interior has failed to make any public announcement about the results, even though sources have told American Solutions for months the comments show a 2-1 advantage in support of offshore drilling.
It took American Solutions almost four months and the power of the Freedom of Information Act to finally uncover indirect confirmation that, out of over 530,000 comments submitted, pro-drilling comments outnumbered anti-drilling comments by a 2-1 margin.
In an email dated October 27, 2009, Liz Birnbaum, director of the Minerals Management Service, informs other Interior officials that a preliminary tabulation of the results of the comment period had not yet gone to Secretary Salazar, adding “{so} the Secretary can honestly say in response to any questions that he’s {sic} has not yet seen the analysis of the comments – staff is still working on it. I did, however, confirm to him the 2-1 split that these guys {at American Solutions}are emphasizing.”
Yaknow, I get the feeling Obama and his crew really don not care how the people feel about oil drilling and jobs. But that's just me.
1
And the funny part? They were surprised at the results. After years of patiently explaining to us retards we still don't realize that drilling and using oil is bad.
Why, I remember when they told us about how Prudhoe Bay was going to be an ecological nightmare, littered with the skeletons of dead caribou. I mean, just because the caribou herds increased and you always find them and other mammals cuddling up to the heated pipeline in winter, they were still right. Cuz oil is bad. It leads to increased standard of living and people actually thinking, gasp!, they're as good as our political, social, intellectual and moral betters.
I used to think they were commies, now I just think they're luddites, thinking of a better time when man lived in harmony with nature. Just because that's never actually happened doesn't mean it shouldn't have happened. And isn't that what really matters?

Notes from #PA12
Some developing info on the Murtha seat to bring people up to speed:
There will be a special election to fill the vacancy. This special election is almost certainly going to be held on the same day as the spring primary election, May 18th. Candidates for the special election will be chosen by the parties, NY23-style.
Because the special election is held coincident with the primary, voters will be voting both for the interim Congressman and also for the nominees for the November election -- voting for two elections for the same Congressional seat. Nothing precludes the party-nominated interim candidate from seeking the primary nomination, so one candidate might be on the ballot twice.
Previously declared Republican candidates for the seat are Bill Russell (Army vet, 2008 challenger) and Tim Burns (businessman). Other primary candidates may now emerge as well. The petition period to get on the primary ballot in PA is Feb 16 to March 9.
Some other potential GOP candidates (either for the interim position, or I suppose for the "real" full-term election) might be: - Jeff Pyle (State Rep.) - Diana Irey (County commissioner and 2006 candidate) - Mark Pasquerilla (business owner, hotels; regionally recognized last name)
A lot of eyes are probably on Russell. He has demonstrated massive fundraising ability, though unfortunately it has been done through the inefficient direct-mail process, and he's not actually sitting on a ton of cash right now. Some are out there exaggerating how "close" Russell came to unseating Murtha in 2008. The vote was Murtha 57.9% to Russell 42.2%, a difference of 15.7%. In my book, that's pretty bad, though in fairness it was a marginal improvement over Irey in 2006, and it was done in the worst possible environment for GOP candidates. The "close" claim comes from one or two polls (iirc, media polls) that had the race at high single digits a few weeks out from the election. If you want to call that "close", then go ahead, but I wouldn't.
1Because the special election is held coincident with the primary,
voters will be voting both for the interim Congressman and also for the

That's an interesting deal. Very interesting. It would be funny if the guy who won the special election lost the primary for his party. He could run as an independent, splitting the vote for that party and giving it to the other party.
Or... he could just decide to do a whole bunch of unpopular stuff and get out of Dodge.

Not so bright
Okay, so Megan McCardle compares Dems being obstructionist on social security to Republicans being obstructionist on health care.
Ummmm, no. The Dems had spent much of the previous years talking about how social security was doomed and yet, when Bush wanted to do something they freaked out. They also really didn't offer any other solutions. They just wanted to stop Bush. They bleated about how evil Bush was going to link it to the stock market (which is obviously much worse than the pyramic scheme it currently is) without offering their own plan.
The GOP has been offering ideas on health care only to be told to go screw. Now that Obama is in trouble he needs some GOP cover so now he wants help. I can never figure out why she gets links. It must be her economics posts, I don't read those, her political posts are usually equally silly. H/T, I forget. I saw it a couple places before I clicked because I usually find her posts to be less than persuasive.

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...
don't longer growing seasons mean more crops (and more food), much of which could be used to fucking help feed the poor of the world?
And I no longer give a flyingfistfuck of fucking fuckitude about any ice other than the ise in my martini shaker

it would be a blast going sideways at about 15 MPH with the speedometer reading 80 (ahhhh, my teenage years
No ice - I'm a in Cali - but I recall one day getting out of classes, and we all headed out the parking lot east on E18th, left on Rameriz and right on Rideout ...to discover they had oiled the pavement.
Hilarity ensued.
Well, until we almost wide-eyed crashed the pristine 1950 Ford sedan into a parked car (after 3-4 brodies).
...and of course drugs were semi-involved (we would have taken advantage of that stone-cold sober though): it was 1969 after all, and we were sophisticated juniors.

I got a car at the beginning of my junior year, the first year and a half I spent more time with the car going sideways than going forward. In winter especially. I figured that people get in trouble when they start sliding unexpectedly so I spent all my time sliding. That way it wasn't unexpected.

2nd car I had was a 69 Impala 4 door. It was a lead sled, 327, automatic, 4 wheel drum manual brakes, limited slip posi rear end.Was living in S.E. WI (end of and just after high school) and the place I was working at part time, the only way to get there was driving down a 1/4 mile hill, up the other side, then a sharp right and up a 1/4 mile gravel hill driveway. In the middle of winter, everyone else parked at the bottom of the driveway and walked up. Not me, that chevy made it all the way up to the top, sideways, creeping about 5mph. It would also go through drifts as high as the top of the wheel-well without slowing down much. They sure don't make cars like they used too.

There was a road near my house, Jeffrey Lane, it went up a hill in a looping pattern. You went right, wide turn, back to the left, wide turn, back to the right, wide turn, back left. Like an S with a another loop or two, up a steep hill.
Nobody but snowmobilers went up it in the winter, except me. In my 72 Cutlass Supreme 2dr, 350 4bbl, 3-speed automatic trans, 4-wheel drum, no pansy ass posi. I just pointed the car straight up the hill, punched it and used the steering wheel. I would go up at about 10-15 MPH, sliding sideways back and forth with the car always facing up the hill and the speedometer reading 80-100.
That was all about teh adrenaline.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

Morons! We've been set a challenge!
Actually, I would never challenge 4chan about creating the most inappropriate composite image. You're not going to win and you'll be scarred for life.

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.
They'll be cleaning their rooms TODAY, you can be sure.

Boy, am I glad my old man was in medical service during his 26 year stint in the Army, and not Intelligence. I'd still be coughing up water if he changed his MOS.

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."
