Kaus defends fair maiden

Ann Coulter - Surfing for Gays?

“ Now that members of the Tea Party movement have stolen much of her thunder, Ms. Coulter is taking some surprising new positions. She called the decision to send more troops into Afghanistan "insane," warning that it could be a new Vietnam. She has decried fellow Republicans for continuing to insist President Obama is Muslim. And perhaps most startling, she wants to bring more gay Republicans into the conservative fold.- -  LAURA M. HOLSON, New York Slimes ”

Well, she does play to win. The New York Slimes has been on a anti-conservative chick bashing bender, wot.  There was Pam Geller, and now Ann Coulter in the same week. I've taken exception to Ann's "birther" statement myself, and I agree that nation building in a country that has never had structure was tough at best.  My solution, and prolly hers, is nuke all the 'stans. But wait - I'm handing off to Micky Kaus.

Edgy Simpsons

Matt Groening's Dark Side

Simpson's Season Opener Opener

My guess has been that The Simpson's creative team, led by Matt Groening, are annoyed by South Park, and its openly conservative message.  In response, Lisa Simpson has emerged as Groening's, or perhaps Simpsons executive producer Al Jean's alter ego,  through which the liberal message is delivered.  2008's  season opener went full monty though, with the "Homer tries to vote for Obama" clip, where the voting machine changes his Obama vote to McCain's.  More telling: the clip was made available to YouTube several months before the the opener, which amounts to open electioneering.  This season's edgy reference to "Asian slave labor" looked to me like an apology for outsourcing it's own animation to South Korea.  Liberals love to apologize.  South Park would have followed up with demands that the prepubescent tots be paid  full US wages, resulting in them losing their jobs, and dying of starvation.  Which is why South Park wins the cartoon ideology war.  I still love the Simpsons, but shame on them for exploiting little, defenseless cartoon characters.

Whiners

AHEM

Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign is allowing donors to use largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor's identity, campaign officials confirmed. Faced with a huge influx of donations over the Internet, the campaign has also chosen not to use basic security measures to prevent potentially illegal or anonymous contributions from flowing into its accounts, aides acknowledged. Instead, the campaign is scrutinizing its books for improper donations after the money has been deposited.

Butchered 'crats

Today's Straight Jacket no - not for us

J.R. Dunn's The American Left Slides Into Psychosis for American Thinker reminds me of the movie Blood Simple.  It's so carefully crafted that there's no throw-away scene; not an extraneous word of dialog.  Editing for the trailer is frustrating, because the distributor, me, keeps ending up with the entire film.  I'm not even going to try then.  Oh, what the hell .. “ Leftists really believed that Obama embodied their moment. Obama held all the cards -- majorities in both houses, a slavish press that viewed him as no less than a godling, an enthusiastic public, even an acquiescent international establishment,... No left-of-center president has had smoother road before him -- not FDR, not Lyndon Johnson. Yet Obama's efforts amount to utter failure. ... He got the bills passed, guaranteed that their execution would be in the hands of extraconstitutional figures beholden only to him, and got them funded by means both legal and illegal. All of it was put into play with a smoothness that only Chicago thuggery combined with socialist chicanery could accomplish. He launched them, and they crashed, and they burned. They crashed and burned because they cannot work. ... not in Asia, not in Africa, nowhere across this wide world. ... The failures were hurriedly stuffed down the memory hole, enabling the left to hope for another shot sometime down the line. (No small number of people in this country -- many of them not doctrinaire leftists by any means -- truly believe that FDR "ended" the Depression.)  But today they have a problem --several, in point of fact. The first is that the memory hole has in large part been filled in over the past decade and a half by such things as the Internet and the New Media. It's no longer a simple matter to shove nationwide failures out of sight. It may not even be possible. The second is the fact that this time they bet the house. They put everything down on Obama. Because it had to work. Because the third time was the charm. Because O was the messiah. And now they're sitting in the casino dead broke, without another dime to lay on the table, and through the doorway they can hear the shouts of the people whose money they embezzled.  </excerpt> I feel like a butcher.

The madness of Barack Obama

Read about this film , now released as Battle For America - Tea Party - HOW WE WIN!  in Mary Claire Kendall's WaTimes article The madness of Barack Obama and went looking for it.  Amazingly, I found the whole deal broken down in 9 segments.  Here's the trailer. (Film by Dave Bossie of Citizens United and writer-director Steve Bannon of Victory Productions).

Barbara Boxer's panic

No soft lens for you Boxer If Fiorina beats Boxer, liberalism will suffer a grievous defeat

“ You know, like, I don’t want to go back to the days when thousands of people died every day because they had no insurance. ” I think I can feel Boxer's angst over losing royalty status.  In Army basic training at Fort Knox,  I was designated "Platoon Guide" by virtue of having taken ROTC in college.  P-guides were brevetted (rank without the pay) E-3 sergeants, and wore that rank on an arm device. We had a good deal of power within the platoon.  I decided who to send on crap details; who cleaned the latrines;  who didn't get a weekend pass, etc.  On the plus side,  I was excused from all details, and had access to the squad room bunk, which I declined.   Here's the  the pertinent part.  After graduating from basic, everyone spent one last night before heading home.  Sargeant stripes were handed in, and for all practical purposes nobody was in charge.  The first indication of possible peril ahead came when the real platoon sargeant held our last formation (before taking off for his usual weekend of drunken revelry in Louisville). " I know some of you think this is your opportunity to get even, but any person who attacks the platoon guide will be recycled and go through basic training again, without leave." Before leaving he called me into his office.  Gave me the key and advised that I lock myself  in that squad room for the night.  Holy S_it! I asked some or my friends whether they thought I was going to get the crap kicked out of me, and they said not that we know - but you know that such-and-such clique was aways giving you trouble.  In the end I stayed in my bunk over Bernie Schwartz, a German national who lived in Canada but had a VW repair business in Niagara Falls NY so got drafted into the US Army (he also  received a draft notice from the German army shortly after our basic began).  Morning came, and nobody had paid much attention to me at all.  There had been some commotion  at the fourth platoon.  I heard the the platoon guide had the living crap beat out of him; pillow case over his head.  He really was an asshole though. How about you Barby?  Do your people really love and respect you?  Without your tiara?

Photoshopped Alien cover-up?

Photoshopped NASA image a cover-up?

“ ALIEN conspiracy theorists are confident they've caught NASA in the act of covering up the fact we are not alone in the universe. A video posted on YouTube yesterday showed how an image of Saturn's moons Dione and Titan, taken by NASA's Cassini orbiter, had been Photoshopped before being added to a Picture of the Day website. In the video, "DominatorPS3" turned up the brightness levels on the photo to show that a "huge" object can be seen behind the smaller moon, Dione. Clearly visible are brush strokes that show how the rainbow aura of the object has been blacked out. "More solid proof of NASA/ government coverups," DominatorPS3 said. "... and this is recent. You can do this yourself!!" Of course, being the internet, it didn't take long for the truth to get out there, so to speak. [Continued] ”

What more proof do people need? Of course other life forms exist; and of course they've already insinuated themselves into our population.  It's sort of a Massachusetts-New  Hampshire deal.  They  completely mucked up their home planets by allowing a central government to have dominion over them.  Now that they're here, they  somehow think the same policies can be made to work with a little tweaking.   Wake the hell up and smell the ectoplasm!

Barry's Pathology Rising

the narcissism thing

“ Almost unremarked upon was one of Barack Obama’s more revealing recent statements, when campaigning in Maryland this week. At one point, he warned his crowd of supporters to get out to vote in order to prevent his own embarrassment in November:  “Don’t make me look bad, now.” Since he is not up for reelection, apparently the president means that the slaughter of perhaps 50 Democratic congressional representatives and 8-10 senators will reflect poorly upon himself. Of course it will, but ... Victor David H.

Ruh-Roh for 'crats

So chug-chug-a-lug

In 2008 Scott Elliott's Election Projection annoyed me. Kept dashing my hopes ( to Scott's ultimate credit)  by failing to confirm upside McCain  projections from other services.   Bastid!  I will characterize EP as very cautious, meaning no wild swings.  To the extent that I detect a bias, it leans Democrat (I see bias in everything). That said, here's a few paragraphs from a  subscriber newsletter  received 30 minutes ago.  “ The House picture, at least in terms of which party will be the majority come January, is clearing up considerably.  Barring something crazy, the GOP will win at least the 39 seats they need to become the party in power in the House - you can take that to the bank from The Blogging Caesar.  The question in my mind now is just how many they can win.  Claims of 70 to 100 may be far-fetched, but I'd be surprised if Republicans don't eclipse the 52 seats they won in 1994.  How high the ceiling is, no one knows.  When John Dingell is in trouble in Michigan, it has to be very very high.   In the Senate, Sharron Angle, Dino Rossi and John Raese are realizing gains in the polls that put the GOP in decent shape to take the majority there as well.  I am not declaring a Senate GOP majority yet, but the odds are improving.  I'd say they are around 40% now.  That's a marked improvement from the very long odds we saw after Christine O'Donnell won the Delaware primary a few weeks ago.  With Angle moving ahead of Harry Reid this week, the projection for the Senate is deadlocked at 50-50.  And if Rossi's position in the polls out of Washington stay where the latest surveys put him, that seat could be colored red shortly. So much for Speaker Hankey's most recent  bloviation.

Paris 80 years apart

Rephotographing Atget I love this stuff

“ Eugene Atget documented Paris from 1888 until his death in 1927. Like many people, I consider him to have been the greatest photographer of all time. Atget straightforwardly documented the city with photographs that give you the feeling that all the transitory things that people do and are have washed away, leaving onlytheir transcendent accomplishments. On a 1989 trip to Paris, I suddenly found myself face to face with a spiral-topped gatepost that I knew very well from a beautiful photograph by Atget (the photograph on the left). I rephotographed his gatepost from memory (the photograph on the right) and wondered how many other Atget subjects might still be holding their poses. ” NEXT
