Fascists tell producers what to make; Communists sieze production.

Which one governs us?

“ April 7, 2009 Coming Soon From Government Motors This is not a joke, but an actual product scheduled to be produced by the bloated farce that was once General Motors but has now been nationalized by the Obama regime: It's called a PUMA, which stands for Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility. Top speed is 35 mph. No word on how much they'll cost, but don't worry, they'll be subsidized by the government, just like the UAW slackers who will make them during the brief gaps between their coffee breaks. ” Moonbattery continued ...

Lefty Gun Nuts

The Lefty's View

Snippage from The book of Shibboleth (View from the Porch blog) “ Everyone who's ever attended a gun show knows that you are guaranteed to find at least one table (and probably several) of genuine whackos: Neo-Nazis, conspiranoiacs, people who think space aliens assassinated Elvis with fluoridated water, that sort of thing. It's just the eddies in the stream where the First and Second Amendments flow together. Frankly, a gun show without Nazis to mock would be like a gun show without beef jerky. Every now and again, some lefty discovers this and recoils in horror, completely ignoring the fact that their side of the political fence has its own equally charming equivalents (It ain't bible-thumping conservatives smashing store windows and playing slap-tickle with the riot cops every time the WTO comes to town...) Something that I got a giggle out of in the latest bout of the vapors over Knob Creek is the mention of The Anarchist's Cookbook as a (and I quote) "soldier of fortune training manual": highly secret “soldier of fortune” training manuals (”Militiaman’s Handbook”, “How to Change Your Identity and Erase Bad Credit”, “The Anarchist’s Cookbook”, “The Hit Man’s Guide to Assassination” . . .) I am going to go out on a limb and state that these correspondents have never read said Cookbook. I can state this with reasonable certainty, because if there is a less right-wing, "soldier of fortune" book than The Anarchist's Cookbook, I am not aware of it. The book in question is a charming counterculture relic from the days when Baby Boomers sat around crash pads with flat stomachs and full heads of hair (or heads full of Hair) and planned The Revolution. For heaven's sake, it has recipes for hallucinogenic drugs (which you shouldn't follow, by the way) and instructions on how The People can rise up against The Man to stop the Vietnam War. By "Anarchist", it means Kropotkin, not Kazynski. ” A good blog to follow ...

Obama Defol

Schuyler Fisk

My Schuyler Fisk story

While recommending the movie "I'm Reed Fish" to MoSup last night, while I watched Hoops - it's available on Showtime On-Demand - I said that I couldn't do the same on my blog, or I'd be expelled from the man club.  But I'm doing it anyway, because now I can add something that men will understand.  That in a moment. I watched two movies over the weekend, The Promotion, and said Reed Fish.  Both wildly exceeded my expectations.  The Promotion,  because I associate star Seann William Scott with American Pie goofiness, but he's excellent in the role of Doug, the assistant grocery store manager, as is John C. Reilly as his nemesis, but I expected that. I don't know what prompted me to try Reed Fish, but I'm glad I did.  Didn't  recognize a person in the movie ... including Katie Sagal who has .. aged somewhat.  I found  Reed's old girlfriend Jill, played by Schuyler Fisk, whom I'd never heard of before, hauntingly pretty.  Her impromptu singing at a bar talent show blew me away, so I looked her up.  Here's her Facebook, but I'm sure y'all know her stuff.   Now, here's the man stuff. Some years ago, c1983, the wife and I were meeting friends for lunch at Charlottesville's Boars Head Inn.  We had a table, they were late.  I went to the lobby to make sure they weren't waiting for us there and noticed a women with a baby stroller, baby and bags in arms, struggling to open the door.  She was with an older woman I took to be her mother.  I opened the door for them, and offered to carry her bags, which she allowed, and I followed them into the dining room where they were seated at the table behind ours.  It was Sissy Spacek, and the baby had to be her daughter, now named Schuyler Fisk.  Our friends arrived just then, and I whispered to them "don't look, but that's Sissy Spacek behind you.  They looked, but fortunately she didn't notice, because she was removing her breast (left one) from behind a dropped flap, and began feeding little Schuyler.  Guys know where I'm coming from here.  I 'm uncomfortable with women who breast feed in public, because I can't not watch.  I just can't (unless it's my daughter, stab my eyes out).  She looked up and caught me, gave a wee hint of a smile and I looked away, embarrassed at being caught. That's my Schuyler Fisk story.  I recommend both movies. Oh yeah, Sissy somehow got my phone number and called and called until MoSup threatened to rip her eyes out.  I think that happened, but I'm old and get mixed up.

Firefox phuckup?

Right-Click WTF?

This is what happens ... sometimes ... when I right click.  It only happens with Firefox, and won't begin for awhile after a re-boot.  I can't isolate what action causes it.  Anyone else with this prollem?  I think it began after a recent Firefox update.

Media Malpractice

Executing Sarah

The Movie

Media Malpractice   FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, April 06, 2009 Frontpage Interview’s guest today is John Ziegler, a former talk show host who is the director of the documentary Blocking 'The Path to 9/11’. His new film is Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Targeted.  Here's some snippage. “  FP: What threat did Palin pose to the Obama campaign and why did the media treat her so viciously? Ziegler: Obviously the only time McCain took a real lead was after Palin's convention speech. She represented the worst nightmare for liberals because she had been able to reach national prominence without already having been discredited by the news media. The media lost their ability to decide for America whether she was acceptable or not. She had been able to go over their heads and that proved that the initial attempt to destroy her had backfired. This is part of the reason the media needed to bring out the big guns to destroy her. Again, the examples are too plentiful to get into here, but it was more a death by a thousand cuts, most of which were illegitimate with the public's belief in one myth making it easier for them to believe the next one. You have to watch the film to see it for yourself. FP: Why was the feminist Left so silent in witnessing the media treating a woman so badly? Ziegler: It seems pretty obvious that it was because she was obviously very pro-life and someone who actually lived that belief. But I think it went further than that. I think the fact that she was a very successful career woman, with five children, who still clearly loves her husband, who kills her own food and who looks amazing doing all of it, is a very threatening package for a lot of women. Unfortunately, Sarah Palin makes a lot of women feel badly about themselves. FP: What has been the reception to this film? Has the media recognized its arguments, let alone existence? Ziegler: The answer to that is complex. The reaction of audiences has been amazing. We often get standing ovations when it is screened and the e-mail I get from people who have purchased the dvd is overwhelmingly positive. As for the media, I have been on The View and The Today Show among many other shows, so it is hard to say they have ignored the film, but some elements (particularly the written press) of the media have pretty much done so -- at least so far. Interestingly there has not been even ONE allegation of me getting a fact wrong or even of a distortion. The best one liberal critic could come up with was basically that I didn’t have video of Brian Williams, Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson mapping out their plan to get Palin. I figured that pretty much meant I had nailed it. FP: What does it say about our country in general that this media bias occurred in terms of Obama getting elected? Ziegler: It says a lot. It says that far too many of us simply down whatever the media spoon feeds us and that we don't do a lot of critical thinking or research on our own. The video we did of Obama voters on election day and the two scientific polls we did to back those up prove that. ” Here's a clip from the film ...

Seats and Chops

Can We Talk ?

I don't care to go into the details of what brought this to mind, and not for the first time, but here it is.  Why is it that public toilet seats have a convenient safety cut-out/access portal, while home versions do not?   Public seats, btw, that men are loath to use in all but the direst of circumstances, and women do their best never to come in contact with.  And yet, in the safety of  home we're inconvenienced, and put at risk?    Why, damn you, why? And another thing.  Why don't dogs get vasectomies, instead of the current savage practice of beheading, so to speak?  "But Rodge, nut chopping not only renders the dog sterile, but alters the personality so the male isn't always trying to score!"  Not good enough. Bruno is still always trying to score, only with my leg, or any large bump on the ground.   If Ms. Prissy knew precious Puppums couldn't be impregnated by my German Shepherd, she ought be happy - if she loves Puppums - to see her safely, and naturally satisfied.  Here's what I think.  If veterinarians had to learn this skill, they'd have to spend six days in Veterinary school, instead of four, and couldn't sell those fake sack stuffers at outrageous prices. Am I right, or what?
