Russian Drivers No Survivers

After watching this video you might wonder why so many Russians have dash cams.
Here's why

Dash-cam footage is the only real way to substantiate your claims in the court of law. Forget witnesses. Hit and runs are very common and insurance companies notoriously specialize in denying claims. Two-way insurance coverage is very expensive and almost completely unavailable for vehicles over ten years old-the drivers can only get basic liability. Get into a minor or major accident and expect the other party to lie to the police or better yet, flee after rear-ending you. Since your insurance won't pay unless the offender is found and sued, you'll see dash-cam videos of post hit and run pursuits for plate numbers.
 

Parents Are Terrible

So, a billion kids have fed the dolphins SeaWorld, but one kid gets bit-and appears to be pretty okay for it-and the parents want the park to make the dolphin feeding safer and possibly raise the age restriction? Puh-lease! The kid didn't lose an arm. Why are parents in this country is so inclined to bask in the spotlight of the media under the guise of saving other families from the trauma they faced? Every incident needs a new legislature or regulations. Horseshit. And they say they don't intend to sue, but they're not exactly blowing it off , either. We'll see.

Aww, Gratitude...

...It's as American as clogs or Bento Boxes. Listen, the sad truth of the matter is that for whatever reason, homeless people are almost all clinically insane. they can't just go get a job, and some of them are just total assholes. Someone give this man a piece of that sweet Youtube pie already!

Even Russians Think America is Becoming Communist

Here is an article written by a Russian Journalist for a Russian paper.  It has been translated into English.  Have a read.  I think you will like it.

Another Thanksgiving Post

Did you know white people taught redskins how to scalp?  In fact they paid them to do it. That's how the scalping thing amongst injuns got started in the first place. White people showed them and then kinda forced them to do it. Isn't that weird? Nevermind this quote I found

"Probably the most dramatic skeletal example of prehistoric violence in North America comes from the Crow Creek Site in central South Dakota. Archaeological excavations revealed about 486 skeletons within a fortification ditch on the periphery of the habitation area. The site represents the Initial Coalescent period and dates to about 1325. P. Willey's analysis revealed that 90% of the individuals had cut marks characteristic of scalping."
 

Anyway, Quentin Tarantino revealed this truth about white settlers teaching the redman their scalping technique on NPR a few years ago after Inglorious Bastards hit the theaters.  I was so floored by his statement and by the fact that NPR didn't even challenge him on it that I spoke to "friends" of what I learned.  Little did I know, that according to the majority of the people I spoke to, Tarantino was right. And when I say "right" I mean they believed the same line of horse shit.  And when I say majority I mean two people.  Most everyone else never heard it or even cared. Still, Civil War... It's the only option.

Wolverines!

So, they're finally releasing the Red Dawn remake that has been sitting on a shelf in Hollywood for something like three years,because studio execs were afraid to piss off the Chinese, who apparently spend quite a bit of money on American movies. Both as consumers and as contributors. Well, that's awesome. Anyway, Hollywood's brilliant fix was to CGI all the Chinese flags into North Korean flags, because fuck believability, we're Hollywood. It is what we say it is. I, for one, have always been concerned that a backwards starving nation with all the military capability of at least Rhode Island might decide to one day invade us. Seriously, I don't even think Pelosi, given absolute power could get us to a place where North Korea could invade anytime soon.

So suffice it to say, this seems like it is destined to be a terrible film, and the critics agree. This thing is tracking at about 10% on Rotten Tomatoes. But then I read the reviews. And the overwhelming issue appears to be an inflated sense of patriotism in the movie. One reviewer called it a Tea Partiers wet dream. The story of American's having to stand up for themselves as the bumbling beaurocrats in D.C. twiddle there thumbs, unsure of how to act in the face of a real threat. Well, shit. Now I'm interested. I mean, it isn't that hard to just pretend that it's the Chinese invading. In fact, it's frighteningly easy. And I'm a big fan of patriotism.

This movie's major sin may only be that it did not punish us for our arrogance enough.  American Patriots are not to be lauded. American Patriots are meant to be ridiculed and derided by today's modern Global Patriot. Well, fuck that. I may actually go see this movie.

If The U.S. Had Another Civil War...

...I'd be happy to join.
I was talking to a buddy, well sort of a buddy and I asked him what he was doing for thanksgiving and he said "celebrating the day Pilgrims killed all the Native Americans."

I've had enough.
I really hate them all.
If there was another civil war I would join.

I Don't Wanna Live In This Reality

Conservatives would be alright if they would just follow the times, man.  I mean the world is more progressive now and they need to like... catch up. Ya know what I'm sayin', man? They're like, left behind. The voters are wiser now. It's their own fault. We've outgrown them.
You know, with the wars and global warming? We just wanna be free. To live the earth without the shackles of the worlds problems. We can't police everyone, man. And gay marriage, free healthcare, that's what matters, man. We need science to guide us through this life not religion or thousands of years of tradition. That's for old people. Science and doobies is where it's at, man. And while talking science and smoking doobies we can practice some, ya know, basic science... protection sponsored by the government, of course. If not we have government sponsored devices to solve any unwanted packages. It's cool, man. It's cool.

It's Lit To Pop, Nobody's Gonna Stop!

Are you ready for a middle east collapse? I know I am. In fact it couldn't happen at a better time if you ask me.

Liberals And Their Power Of Evasion

Hey, Liberals.  Can we please be honest?  You did not vote against Romney.  You voted for Obama. You did not vote against The GOP. You voted for The Democrats. 

This letter is designed, in my opinion, to argue that it's The GOP's fault for their recent failures and not the entitlement society.  It confuses me. Global warming, healthcare, abortion, war, religion, gay marriage. It's as if conservatives have been petty about such things. If we just accept that on all these issues the left was right we can move on, otherwise be thrown in the trash heap of history. If you ask me, the letter is a victory lap and not a plea.
Of all the voters in the country, white male voters were the least of Romney's worries. I am having a hard time understanding what he is suggesting.  Latinos and African Americans are opposed to Gay Marriage.  Why did they vote democrat?  Latinos also oppose abortion and so why did they vote Democrat?  Now The GOP is running towards amnesty which is an issue I've never given two shits about.  It wont hurt them, but it wont help them either. 
The writer voted for Obama and is blaming The GOP for his decision.  I find that disgusting.

Weird

When did The Onion start writing real stories, because I can't find the joke here? I see this happen all the time at my job.

Did Someone Say Weed And Gay Marriage?

Maybe You Guys Already Saw This

But here it is just in case.  I agree.

More Of The Same

I've seen this picture about 5 times in the last day.  One day... 5 times.
And yes, I saw it on facebook. I don't think it was enough or fair to keep it on my feed and so I'm posting it here so that I may enjoy it more and more.

See what they did here? Woody is the American cowboy. Sorta old fashioned, afraid of new things and Buzz is the future. Buzz is helping Woody open his eyes and not be afraid, but Woody is afraid. Therefore we all laugh at him because he is just an old fashioned cowboy we've sorta outgrown. We don't hate him, in fact we still sorta love him, but we've outgrown him too.
And what is the future? Gay marriage and weed. That is awesome.

Why The GOP Will Never Win Again

Obama won the young vote

Unless the GOP start doing interviews with Rolling Stone or making "My First Time" videos then this will not change.

And now for conspiracies.
Which party made it easier for kids to go to college where they vote overwhelmingly for Democrats?
Which party wants the voting age dropped to 16?
And Which party gave 26 year olds the ability to stay on their parents insurance?
For me the proof is there.  That is why gay marriage, weed, womens contraception etc. are all BS issues.  Obama is not going to do anything about Gay Marriage or marijuana.  Those two are a state matter.  All he had to do was publicly fall on the side of gay marriage and oh so secretly reveal that he was apart of the Choom gang and he was one of them. As for women's contraception, well he left that up to Sandra Fluke.  Does anyone really believe that contraception was in danger? Once her job was done, poor Fluke was thrown aside. Our country is being driven by children.  People talk about their concern that we're leaving this country worse off for the kids when it's the kids who are doing it to themselves.

Puerto Rico Votes To Become 51st State

I would post the link but I don't want to.  Just take my word for it. 
Here is the money quote showing one young voters enthusiasm

A Sobering Thought

5 out of the last 6 Republican candidates have lost the popular vote.  Should we tell ourselves that a more conservative candidate will do better or is the brand forever tarnished?

2/3 Supermajority for Dems in CA

Tweaking The Electoral College

I don't want to do away with it, I understand why it exists and I agree, but I do think that the "winner takes all votes" approach needs to go.

I Agree With These Predictions

Taken from a friend on FB:

My predictions for the next four years:

1 - Further erosion of the First Amendment
2 - Full out assault on the Second Amendment
3 - Further egregious expansion and misuse of the Commerce Clause
4 - Continued erosion of the Tenth Amendment
5 - Another credit rating downgrade in the next nine months
6 - Skyrocketing costs for gasoline, food, and electricity that will make the last four years look tame
7 - Less access and higher costs for healthcare resulting in a government takeover of the entire system (which was the stated goal to begin with)
8 - Burgeoning bureaucracy
9 - Unemployment numbers climbing above 10%
10 - Further radicalization of our youth through indoctrination
11 - Continued abdication of social values to political correctness
12 - Further loss of our cultural identity to mandatory "diversity"
13 - The US Dollar will no longer be the world's currency
14 - Military cuts that make Red Dawn a real possibility
15 - The US will devolved into a European-style, fiscally-insolvent, semi-socialistic has-been super power
16 - Like many European countries, we will have to endure austerity measures
17 - There will be many "temporary" measures taken in the name of the "common good" and "shared sacrifice" and how we have to do our "fair share."

Why do I believe this? Because potus will likely appoint at least two Supreme Court justices and for as much as it's overused, we are headed towards a fiscal cliff with unsustainable expenditures.

Those two alone will secure most of these predictions.

Please read Atlas Shrugged to see where this 'vision' will lead us eventually and ask yourself if that's what you think America is.

Keep working. Write your congressmen and senators. Stay involved and ensure your voice is heard.

Our Republic will endure...

Sour Grapes

My facebook is also blowing up. Excitement and demonization all rolled into one. Words like mysogonist, bigot and homophobes are a regular theme. One friend simply stated "Romney is an asshole" after the results. At first I thought we were voting on the state of the economy and national security, but my fb friends made it clear that we were voting on same-sex marriage and legalizing marijuana. Who knew?

There was a person who showed a little more awareness of the issues by posting this:

He is right to infer that this where we are headed.

Today I am having a serious problem with the I told you so's.
Now part of me wants this country to fail on so many levels.  I want us to sink into economic depression only so that I can watch others suffer. Not everyone, just the people on my facebook feed.
I want to see long lines at the doctors office and I want $9.00 gas. I want Israel to burn and China to become the beacon on the hill.  Putin as a man of the people and Islam the law of the land. I want us to be humiliated and forgotten only so that I can see it on my facebook feed.  And I want to see them still blame people like me for the worlds problems, because it is the only constant that we have right now. Liberalism is out of the box and here to stay. Obamacare was my biggest concern. It is now apart of the rest of my life and I resent it.

Whew....

Now that I got that off my chest I am looking to the future.  I am focusing on my friends, family and myself.  I'll do what I have always done.  I'll vote when it's time, go to work, pay bills, celebrate the holidays and even continue to write on this blog.  But most importantly I am going to hide every liberal on my facebook.

Well...

Much like a date with a proctologist, that ended predictably.

Facebook is blowing up. Which is awesome. I love the idea that these people will all be hung by their own petard as I laugh and point while China forecloses on us. Because being right is what America is all about.

I can't hate my friends for being such utter jag-offs on the Facebook. Their party tells them that is how modern enlightened Americans behave. That is how their leader behaves. Who am I kidding, though? There would have been plenty of ha-ha-ing from the other side if the other guy had won, but I know it wouldn't have been me. I haven't and will probably never use social media to call my friends stupid for their political beliefs, but that's just me. And truthfully, I know the other guy wasn't all that spectacular either. But given the alternative...

I'm ashamed of this country. I'm ashamed of the selfishness that drives people to vote for a man who promises things he can't possibly deliver. I'm ashamed of adults who cling to the naive belief that there is a perfect world. A Utopia built on compassion and promises with no foundation in the real world. I'm ashamed of a society that refuses to grow up and shapes it's views by standing around at cocktail parties and patting other likeminded, shiftless children on the back for agreeing with them.

What a sucky day.

Bread and Circuses

I called Blog-ust to make sure he wasn't standing on a chair with a noose around his neck.  Guess I over reacted, 'cuz he was fine.

We had a good conversation on multiple issues, but one he brought to light, which I did really get, is that Facebook is blowing up over things like gay marriage and pot.  It is still not really sinking in because to me these are hardly important issues.

Are people really that naive?  They don't care about the real problems facing our country but are content over things like legal pot and gay marriage?  Has America really reached the Bread and Circuses stage?

My goodness, I hope not.

Pic of the day

Benedict Christie Is A Man I No Longer Admire

He represents the worst in politicians for me now. Watch this reason video on how Christie and Cuomo are responsible for the long lines at the pumps.

This is Too Good

First off, it appears if you don't subscribe to anthropogenic global warming, you are now called a "Global Warming Denier." You know, like a "Holocaust Denier." Basically, you're a fucking Nazi. Ah, the Nazis. How would anyone these days ever feel like they won an argument without the Nazis? We owe them so much.

The other wonderful thing about this article is that editors on Wikipedia have for years been notoriously deleting any dissenting opinions on man-made global warning, but as is their modus operandi, when someone turns the tables they cry foul. Poor things have to acknowledge that someone disagrees with them. This never happens when their hanging out with all their really intelligent friends. Some people just shouldn't be allowed on the internet.

Of course, what do I know? I'm just another Global Warming Denier.

I Have A Game

Count all the October surprises Zombie points out on this list that you remember.

If Obama wins he's not gonna have a very fun second term.  The people usually sour on presidents during their second term anyway, especially one, I imagine, that was so close to losing. The media will sour as well but only after the people do first. Journalists will finally start reporting and FOX news, the channel Obama demonized the most, will be leading the way.  Everything will be fair game and readers will seek out those who are reporting only troubling news.

Benghazi will be the beginning. 

I really do believe this will happen if Obama wins and it's not sour grapes talking either.  He is really gonna be hatin his second term. If the people can turn on Clinton and Reagan, which they did, then they can certainly turn on this clown.

The New Normal?

Super storms like Sandy are the New Normal according to the media today, and I say it's about time people started to realize it. Does Garotzuva have to step on your house to make you see the light. We've never had powerful storms in the past. And certainly not two in the same decade! We're all gonna die! The only salvation is more govenrment spending and taxing corporations and rich people. Thank God Global Warming acted before it was too late!

Good grief

I'm Not Done Talking Dead. Get It?

So, I just posted this response to something Blog-ust said about the Walking Dead in another post, but I didn't want it to get buried because I really want to talk about this show. So here it is, the context being that the show seems to have gooten much better this seaon:

I watched it pretty much for the Videogum recaps up until now. It's a good thing the show is getting good, because Videogum stopped doing the recaps, and without them I'd have stopped watching a while ago.

Sophia coming out of the barn should have been a powerful moment, but to me it just kind of sucked because they dragged that storyline on so long and it was kind of muted because Rick shot a little girl in the face in the very first episode. At some point it makes you wonder if Rick just hates little girls. Clearly, the writers do.

And even after that, characters like Lori, Andrea and Dale were so flip floppy in their actions that it became distracting. And Shane was comically evil sometimes, while at other times seeming like the most rational person in the room. Killing him off was long overdue.

As I said before, the writers have basically come right out and had the surviving characters apologize for being so poorly written up until now, and so far it's been a good thing.

I do, however, have a teensy problem with so completely flipping the switch on Rick. Yes, he always needed to be more of a bad-ass, take charge type, but dropping a machete in the inmates head was so outside the character they established that it really didn't work for me. I mean, basically, it makes his killing Shane seem much worse than it already was. Like, "I'm going to kill the wildcard so I can be the wildcard?" Why not just kill everybody who's a problem like Shane wanted to do all along. I mean, you save the kid who's shooting at you in town, but you then let zombie's eat the inmate who didn't even actively try to kill you? Weird.

Chris Christie = Pappy O'Daniel

Damn! Opportunity knocks!

Interesting

I'm curious. Where are all the stories of rape and pillaging in New York? How come nobody's really blaming anybody for the power not being back on? Have we gotten so much better at disaster preparedness after Katrina under The One, or is the media giving Obama a pass like they did with BP? It must be hard on the media to convey the enormity of Hurricane Sandy and inspire people to donate and pitch in, while at the same time acting like it's not really a big deal and assigning zero blame to anybody for whatever it is we are expected to blame people for in the case of a disaster.

I guess the other possibility is that people in New Orleans are just horrible, but that seems like the kind of generalization you're not really allowed to make.

The Votes Are Locked In

Hurricanes and jobs reports will not change this election.  The people have decided.  Who will win is still any one's guess, but my bet is on Romney. Now I usually land on the side of pessimist. Normally withholding such opinions for fear of jinxing the outcome, but I can't see it any other way. The idea the majority of Americans would stay the course doesn't seem to jibe with my internal worried nature that prohibits me from getting to confident. 
There will be three types of voters this election. Those who vote for Romney, those who vote for Obama and those who don't vote for Obama. Everyday Romney is becoming more likable while Obama is becoming less and it's making liberals less likable as well.
Watch any liberal news channel and you'll see. Their snarky condescension that made liberals appear enlightened and conservatives bafoons has turned into panicked rage. Before they laughed behind the backs of the party who brought George Bush and now they are screaming in the face of the party that is defeating Barack Obama.  Listen to any one thing Chris Matthews has said in the last week or even Andrew Sullivan for that matter and you'll see irrationale anger followed by irrationale arguments.
 When Mattews, who is floating the idea for a Garotzuva sequel, is calling people who don't believe in climate change "pigs" and Andrew Sullivan suggests that the electoral map looks like the map of the civil war (See for yourself a map side by side.) you'll notice fear is speaking, not reason.

Oh well... Not to get too far ahead.  If Obama wins, that's fine. I can handle it, but if Romney wins, Obamacare will be repealed and California will in turn craft its own healthcare mandate, but at least we'll have state's rights.

They Killed Our Imagination For Darth Vader And Obi Wan

Why not kill the rest of the characters?
Comrade has been fretting over the idea that the new Hobbit movie will ruin the Lord of the Rings for him. Can this deal between Disney/Lucasfilms do the same for Star Wars or has it already died?
I'm actually optimistic.  If this project takes off and leaves Lucas in it's dust, I'm hoping they'll scrap episodes I-III and try again.  I would say leave it alone, but I can't. It's just hanging out there, taunting me.   Those three need to be forgotten and an overwrite would be just the trick.

If Obama Loses It Will Be A Miracle.

See what just I did there?  I didn't title this piece "If Romney Wins..." Instead I brought attention to Obama. That's what seems to be the trend for the net of late.  No matter if it's conservative or liberal, posts rarely talk about Romney, negative or positve, but they do talk about Obama.  He is still our president and people had/have an intimate feeling for the man. There is no Romney revolution and the debate surge has stalled.  Maybe there isn't as much bad publicity for Romney as there was two months ago, but now there seems to be no publicity.  Romney gave a pretty good speech in Iowa yesterday and I doubt anyone heard it.  Obama is once again, for better or worse, our president and Romney is once again the outsider.

I'm starting to believe Romney needs a humanizing gaffe to become relevant again. Or more importantly he needs to be Daniel and the Lions den. He should boldly go on shows like MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC and even O'Reilly to once again make headlines.  Put faith in the idea that his candidacy and message is important and the people will see the truth. Otherwise, I fear, he will be burried by Obama's quest for "shiny objects."

He turned this election on it's head in just one 90 minute debate.  Now he needs to do it again by wrestling away the headlines.

Are They Voting For Brown Or For A Bag Of Beans?

If you were Somalian, couldn't speak the language, probably don't understand the issues of our country because you couldn't speak the language, maybe living with a large family pulling your resources together to live the dream, would you be concerned who your senator was?  I really doubt it.  I think these people were bribed.

Yes, the Death Penalty Is A Good Thing

Here
I suppose one could say the death penalty is pointless since the woman tried to committ suicide.
But to me, the death penalty isn't so much for punishment as it is for justice.  If that woman did committ suicide the mother would gain no closure.  The killer would be a phantom.  Now, she will have a trial and hopefully die under the terms of justice.  I think it makes a big difference.

Romney Endorsed By Cowardly Lion

Fuckin!g Meatloaf is hilarious. He endorsed Romney last night and gave this crazy rambling speech that will have you in stitches.

“There has storm clouds come over the United States,” Meat Loaf said, verbatim, according to the Washington Post. “There is thunderstorms over Europe. There are hail storms — and I mean major hail storms — in the Middle East.  There are storms brewing through China, through Asia, through everywhere, and there’s only one man that on the other night when President Barack Obama, God bless him, said to Mitt Romney, ‘The Cold War is over.’”
Meat Loaf, still thinking that the Cold War is going on, continued: “I have never heard such a thing in my life. The man needs to understand Putin and Russia. So I want you to know that there is one man who will stand tall in this country and fight the storm and bring the United States back to what it should be — Gov. Mitt Romney!”

 

Now check out this video of him singing America the Beautiful. Again hilarious!

Enjoy!

When All Is Said and Done

Obama's legacy will be summed up in one simple phrase. "He was our first black president."

The New Single Issue Voter: Pot Heads

If you read Zombie you will see this new voter on the rise.  Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, is not alone.

I think his hypothetical is a bit childish, but it is also a bit telling.  His main focus is a CEO killing a man in order to achieve success.  A common theme amongst any liberal and especially, I suspect, for the creator of Dilbert. His second villian however is an admission of guilt.  The president isn't the villian like he implies, but the Obama voter himself is.  Voters will vote for their man no matter how evil they are is his accusation.  Does anyone really believe that? Does he really believe his own hypothetical, or has he created a straw man in order to justify his own "betrayal" to the liberal cause?  I have my opinions of Obama, and liberals, but I can't believe they would still vote for a man accused of murder.

If Scott Adams has become a single issue voter then he should wear it proudly and not create some silly hypothetical that is designed to chastise others in order to help him feel good about his political switch.

But hold on.  I think there is a bigger truth going on. A truth he wont admit out loud.  A phenomenon that is sweeping the entire country.  Scott Adams doesn't like Obama.  He doesn't like him personally.  Marijuana is his excuse.

The Fat Lady Sings For Obama

It's 1:30am and I can't sleep. No reason for it really, since it's pretty standard for me as of late and so I'll take this time to talk about the debate and what just happened.
What an upsetting event.  The first hour and ten minutes were pretty boring.  A lot of back and forth and blah blah blah. I had no emotional pull one way or another on the answers given by either candidate. Sure I was irritated by some of the questions being asked such as "how are you different from Bush" but I thought Romney handled them all fairly well and without mistakes... that is until the real question came up.

Benghazi.

What a fucking disaster.  Romney was so weak in his answer it felt as if he didn't prepare for it at all.  What is even more upsetting for me is that even though Fat Ass came to Obama's aid by suggesting O has always called the attack an act of terror when we all know he was selling the attack as a spontaneous demonstration over a youtube video (since he said as much well over a bazillion times), it still falls on Romney.  Romney needed to explain that a spontaneous demonstration and a coordinated attack are two very different things. That he was right to come out and denounce it so quickly. He needed to show that despite what Obama says, President O was more than willing to jump to the wrong conclusions. Romney needed to explain that he was right to say that OBL, although a good win, is just a piece of the whole mess. Most importantly, at least for me, he needed to explain how Benghazi is apart of the whole Syria, Egypt, Iran and Iraq crap cake that so many viewers have forgotten. Why? because the American people need to know who we are facing.  These people are butchers and Obama's policy on terror is dangerous. I really hope he takes his opportunity in the third debate to do just that.

There is no point complaining about the questions that were asked, or the interruptions by the moderator, or the unfair amount of time given to Obama to make his argument, or the fact that bitch face threw O a life line, or how all are our moderators go by the names of Lehrer of PBS, Raddatz of ABC and friend of Obamas, Crowley of CNN and for the next debate Schieffer of CBS.  That is all to be expected and it will never change. Those discrepancies exemplify the fight between group think and individualism for me. Romney has to be that much stronger and he should have pounced on Benghazi and yet he was sloppy.  If we lose this thing, I will point to that moment.

Here is a parody. Not great, but at least it's Bowie and not the other bullshit that conservatives come up with. I love the Republican party, but man are they square.

It's The First Of The Month

I just signed up for unemployment. Ya know, just doing my part to keep unemployment numbers up for Romney.... I mean Obama.

What Romney's Debate Strategy Should Be From Now On

Benghazi.
There. That's all.
If Romney again corrects the record like he did in the first debate Obama is done for.

No Double Standard Here

Wow...

"Crowley is the first woman in 20 years to moderate a presidential debate. Last week, ABC News' Martha Raddatz was praised by critics for her moderation of the vice presidential debate. PBS' Jim Lehrer, who moderated the first presidential debate of 2012, was widely criticized for losing control and allowing both candidates—Romney in particular—to "steamroll" him."

So when you let a Democrat act like an asshole, you are a great moderator.  But when you let  a Republican ask to defend his position, you suck as a moderator.

More here.

I Love Bible Verses

Proverbs 29:9
When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, The foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.

Something a Little Different

Man mistakenly receives check for half a billion dollars and reports it. I love when the news praises people for not going out and spending a whole bunch of money they received through a computer glitch. It's as if they think this person is some sort of hero. Um, if you spend a bunch of money that isn't yours, you are breaking the law. If you don't report that you received half a billion dollars that you shouldn't have gotten, then you are a retard. This is not heroic, this is common sense.

That's a Bunch Of Malarkey!

My keen ally, MC, pointed that word out during the debate, but I didn't give it much thought. Apperently he knows shit from shinola better than I do.  That word is ablazed on the internet world.

Fuck it, though! I can gloat on this part. Despite my previous post, Ryan won that debate. Unless you listened to it on radio. If you watched it on T.V..... It was all "Old Man Mr. Interrupter" who smiled through his fucking dentures and forced Ryan to stop what he was saying in order to answer some fucking question that was akin to what a homeless man might ask of you if  you were unfortunate enough to be sitting next to him during a smoke break.  Still, Joe had Ryan on foriegn affairs and Ryan had Joe on domestic, but did you see the demeanor? Oh my God! It was crazy uncle Joe versus... versus... Steady Eddie.  Steady Eddie Munster.

 With his Wolfman!
I knew that gif I posted earlier in the blog would come in handy again sooner or later. 

Ryan should be proud.  He held his own.  We are another marker down to victory.

Mark Hamill Confesses

"I've smoked too much Bantha poodoo."
Ok, he doesn't say that, but I do.
I mean if you liken Obama to Obi-wan you've lost your nut. 

Wait a Minute!

Are you trying to tell me women aren't going to love this guy?

Who Is Paul Ryan?

If Obama is the cool clueless older brother who gets you into trouble,
and Romney is the uncool sobering Dad who gets you out of trouble,
and Biden is the crazy uncle who is only fun for a family laugh,
then who is Paul Ryan?
We'll see after tonight.

My Prediction For Tonight's Debate

Tonights debate is not going to be like it was last week. It wont be a win for our guy. The most we can hope for on this one is a tie.
Here's why
Biden wants this one.  He wants it bad. When his time is done as VP, Biden plans to run for president and he knows, like all the rest of us, that his time could be as early as 2016. Obama's heart is not in the game anymore, but Biden's is and I don't underestimate the power of desire.
Biden is a believer and more importantly a believer in the Democrat party.   Unlike Obama he is a true blue Democrat. O is a progressive, which in my mind means hater.  O has no respect for Romney, but he does have disdain (maybe not for Romney personally, but for people like him) as a result he chose to ignore his would be challenger rather than prepare for him. (Not to mention it's becoming abundantly clear O has no material to speak of and no ideas and so preparation was probably useless)  Biden will not make the same mistake. He believes in the cause, his career, his party and mostly his reputation as Good Ol Uncle Joe who can get tough when he has to... Just ask Bork.
Lastly, he's done this before. Ryan has not, at least not like Biden. He can handle the pressure and move on from his mistakes, which he has made a lot of over his career.  I'm not so sure how Ryan will respond when he gets into a sticky situation during this debate.  Will he lose his cool?
What we have going for us in this race tonight is talent and message.  Ryan has the talent and the message down pat, but is not an experienced debater. I'm not going to spend tonight's debate waiting for a gaffe from Biden, but I will spend it expecting Ryan's message to get out.  If he is calm I think he will do that. This President is the worst.  I mean the worst ever!  I'm not so sure if he is actually talented, or intelligent or even kind hearted anymore, but he needs to go.  I suspect Romney will have to do almost all the heavy lifting.

Since Big Bird Is The Topic Of Choice

I'll play along.

It Looks Like MC Was Right...

...to presume it was Romney's advisor's fault for his lack luster september. A september that nearly gave me a coronary.
The article does credit Steven's as an expert in debating and T.V. ads and after Oct. 3rd, I couldn't agree more.
Behind every great man is a great woman.  If Romney wins this thing, they should build a statue of her.

The President Has Relegated Himself to Class Clown

Umm...

This is sort of how I remember the debate going, so I don't know exactly what the joke is. Romney's alter ego is a cross between Ronald Reagan and Sid Vicious? I'll take it.

and I for one am glad they did.  Not because it is showing media bias by putting him in a foolish light, but because it's classic.  If I were him I'd be proud just to be apart of it.

Ah, the Tolerant Left

We could learn so much from them!

I Have Nothing To Write...

...I just like this quote.
"Barack Obama, knight of the peevish countenance, illustrated William F. Buckley’s axiom that liberals who celebrate tolerance of other views always seem amazed that there are other views." - George Will

This one is not too bad either
"One of the most wonderful things which will come with a Romney presidency is that Romney will finally, once again, separate Church and State. The president, finally, will just be a man. Not a perfect man. Not a prefigurement of Jesus. Not a prophet and not a savoir." - Ace

Mr. Mojo Risin

Does Romney appear Reaganesque?

Heritage Foundation Never Lets You Down

All too often conservative videos lack punch. They are usually cheesy, boring and sort of amatuerish, really. But not this!

No One Thing Matters

But as a whole it all matters.
Watching the news one would think that nothing affected the outcome of an election.  Before Ryan was chosen as Romney's running mate we were told that the VP pick didn't really affect election results, but only moved poll numbers for brief time before going back to how they origninally were.  When the Republican and Democrat conventions came through town, we were once again reminded that Conventions were no longer relevant. That they're importance resided only in that they helped whip up the base, but no more than that. Now after the 1st debate we are yet again told that the debate didn't matter and wont change how people will vote.  The VP debate will do even less.  If these statements are in fact true then why is Biden taking 6 days off to practice? Maybe none of these one things matter on their own, but when you put them all together, when everything is added up, well then we'll have a pretty good idea of what to expect in November.

Good One

Fire Everyone.

We are doomed.

I'm Sorry, How Much?

Dear Mom,
$18,000? Sorry, but you're daughter's kind of a ho-bag. Please don't tell Dad. I don't think his heart could take it.

Sincerely,
Reality

Let's Talk About Your Big Butt, Obama

Here's Obama taking the blame for not living up to his promises to make sweeping immigration reform, while at the same time calling it John McCain's fault. And while I agree that McCain's a dueche, that's not taking responsibility for your failure. What he should have said is that "I couldn't grant amnesty to all illegal aliens living in the United States because the majority of the people are against it and it would have hurt my chances for re-election." Of course, he's talking to a hispanic news forum, so he's just pandering anyway. The big point is, this guy has never admitted to anything without a disclaimer. A "butt" if you will.

DEBATE QUESTIONS

Another beauty from Reason Magazine.http://reason.com/archives/2012/09/17/these-are-the-questions-moderators-shoul

I like Reason Magazine.  Here is an article that I think really illustrates why I like this magazine so much.

You're Welcome

This is Awful

What a bunch of horseshit. Parents being interrogated and even arrested for letting their children play outside? I think you should be able to punch your neighbor in the face if they call CPS because your kids are outside. This country doesn't stand a chance, does it?

Ouch.

This is not going to help the Catholic Church. For the first time, I'm glad Romney is Mormon.

Facts Be Brutal

I like this chick. Nice dig at the end by the way.

Today's Word is "Back"

As in, I'm back from vacation. Or as in this new Obama support campaign my favorite liberal friend posted on Facebook.

Methinks we may not be friends much longer as I had to point out that The One appears to be walking away in 2012 and I like that.

I've Completely Had It!

Thank you MC for starting up this blog again 'cause I've just reached my boiling point.  A facebook friend (who actually is a friend and great person) posted this as if its fact and then ranted and raved about how bigoted and stupid Akin is.

Sometimes A Conservative Voice Has The Courage To Post On Facebook

They Are Starting To Panic

Can you feel it?  I don't know about you guys, but some of the most ardent liberals on my facebook have been going post crazy recently.  One in particular posted this picture today. 

This is not the first time he has used his post to remind us all how glorious it is to be liberal.  But is it a reminder or is it pleading?

Here's the Problem.

This is why the left is able to lean on class warfare in their campaigns. And there really is no way to defend it, to be honest.

Recently, at my job, my department had an all hands event. It was on site, during working hours (although many people had to adjust their hours to attend and everyone ended up having to leave during the heart of rush hour) and it was pleasant enough, but it wasn't any kind of company party. You see, when the economy went bad, they cancelled our holiday (Christmas!) party and our summer picnic, so now we have this nice big, silly gathering that cuts into our workday (that's a bad thing for a lot of us) once a year and that's basically it. We also have team builders for each of our smaller teams. These usually include going to Dave & Busters for a taco bar and some games or some other such type of thing. And those are nice as well, but they are not the same thing as the nice celebrations we used to have. So for the last two years during these department get togethers, they run photos of each team's team builders on a couple of monitors while everyone is eating their tacos (always tacos) so you can see how much fun we all have together. But they also show photos from our department's management team team builder and let me just tell you that it's the most tone deaf display you will ever see. These parties are for roughly 50-75 people and the tab clearly soars into 6 figures. It's insulting to show these photos to people who make a tiny fraction of what management makes and never have a chance to share in the extravagances that management indulges in. I'm not saying it's wrong that management spends that kind of money on their own celebrations either, though it is easy to make the argument. I'm saying that if you decide that on top of your high 6 figure salary, you need the company to foot the bill for your James Bond themed pat-on-the-backfest, you probably shouldn't flaunt it so egregiously in front of "the help."

Help Me Out Here

So, without naming names, here is a post lifted straight off of Facebook that I just had to share:

They haven't even been letting us vote for a hundred years yet, and they can take our right to vote away pretty easily if we don't pay attention. All it takes is a lot of money in the wrong offshore accounts. Please vote ladies! We have a lot of work to do!

Attached was this link:

http://dpsinfo.com/women/


Can someone explain this to me? At first I thought she was referring to the Voter ID law, but the claim is that that particular law targets minorities. And then she clearly invokes the "ladies" out there to vote, so that coupled with the link appears to imply this is about women's voting rights. The mention of offshore accounts implicates Romney. So, what I'm getting is that this person believes Romney intends to take away women's voting rights, and that if he wanted too, it'd be easy. That has to be what she's saying, right? My God, it's like the Obama campaign is able to inject their ads directly into her brain.

Wow.

This from The Onion. Doesn't even feel like a humor piece. Kind of gave me goosebumps. Good ones.

Way to Drum Up Interest, Media

So, police try to evict a man in Texas and he ends up shooting severals officers and bystanders, killing one officer and one civilian before being taken out himself. So, first thing the media does ia make sure to mention-in the headline no less-that the incident took place "near" the Texas A&M campus. Because that is somehow relevant to the story. This is America; Pretty much everything that happens in any city or reasonably sized town is going to happen "near" a school. Then they go on to note how this happened in the wake of the mass shootings in Aurora, Colorado and the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin. Wow, that is a bit of a stretch. The motivation for this shooting doesn't exactly fall in line with the motivation for the others. And the local news reports that it "appears" he was using automatic weapons. That is just some solid hysteria building there, media. Way to report the news. Seriously, is there some sort of media agenda app for this kind of story?

Why Does the Dog Parkour?

Why does the caged bird sing? I bet that dogs scores insane amounts of tail. Pulls fine bitches left and right. Seriously, is it possible for a dog to be a douchebag? I hope Parkour Dog is in the next James Bond movie.

Palin Nails This One!

I don't care what people say. Palin was a great choice for McCain and I have a feeling that she will do whatever she can to make sure we do't lose this election. It will be sort of a grudge match for her, but it will also be her time to show that she was right in her beliefs.  She has another shot to bring the victory home for us and she will be all in.  Though there were rumors that the Romney camp helped sabotage her campaign four years ago (I'm not sure if it's true), Palin will be out for blood this election.  Her words on California are spot on.

The Munsters!

America's comback team!

Paul Ryan for Veep

I'm all in for this one. Paul Ryan was the guy I was hoping for all along. The guy is smart, articulate and charismatic. When the entire country gets to see this guy on the podium, it's going to make things very hard on the left. They will do their best to demagogue the guy to death, but with a National platform it's going to be much harder than it was when they were running ads depicting him pushing old people off of a cliff. I'm pretty jazzed right now!

I'm Voting for Jenn Daniels

So, this is a pretty interesting article about a CEO for an energy company who tried to solicit a town council member in Arizona's vote in return for all kinds of favors. She promptly turned him in and he ended up making silly excuses and finally resigning his position. At first, I thought her motivation might be that he sent it to an oft reviewed e-mail account, so she may have just been covering her ass. But I looked up Jenn Daniels and she looks to be a conservative council member who has done her share to fight taxes and overspending in her community, so this seems to fall right in line with her actions thus far. I want to move to Gilbert and vote for Jenn Daniels.

I Love This Story

What makes this hilarious is not that NBC ran this commercial right after reviewing Gabby Douglas, but that television viewers made a likely connection.  If I was Gabby Douglas would I be upset at NBC or the enraged masses?

Actually I would be mad a Bob Costas for saying, 'There are some African American girls out there who tonight are saying to themselves: "Hey, I’d like to try that too."

Every girl on the planet could be inspired. Why did you only mention black girls, Costas? This is so stupid on so many levels.  Good job, NBC. Good job, masses. You suck, Costas.

Homosexual Protests Are So Gay

I swear the gay community has zero imagination.  Seriously, a Kiss-In at Chik-Fil-A? The gay community fears they are not accepted and so they protest by acting unacceptable. It happens once a year and naturally we accept it. ironic.

Hmmm am I being honest when I say we accept it? I'm sorry, homosexuality is freaking gross. On the same level of gross as a brother and sister kissing type gross.  I instinctively cringe when I see it and a Kiss-In at Chik-Fil-A is really a dumb idea.  This protest will backfire.  It will not sway minds.

What do I really want to say. I am still fully against "gay marriage." I'm not in the "Wrath of God" corner on the issue, but I still hold to the idea that gay marriage will never be seen as the same as traditional marriage. Pretending the two are the same is silly and damaging to an important institution.  Being a bachelor I know that marriage is seen by society as the better choice.  I agree with this position.  Marriage is more important than bachelorhood. There is no comparison.

I say this, have the ceremony, exchange vows and rings in front of loved ones.  Start a life, have a... ummm... family. Live together and die together.  I see beauty in all of that, but don't call it marriage. Call it what it is, gayrriage. Get gayrried and be happy.

You Can Have Morgan But Not Clint!

I am going to post my all time favorite Eastwood flick.  It represents everything I love.  Killing Gene Hackman, a fat man, and sparing a jew all while drinking whisky. Of course this story helps in my love.

So..

I guess this Phelps character is not as lazy and washed up Hollywood style as everyone thought. I suppose it makes for better media to break him down so he can rize again. Good job, media! Well, we have taken over China in the overall medal rankings! USA! USA!

Here's Another One

Facebook Liberals

I'm not going to be able to do much blogging until school is done, but I will be able to copy and paste all the lefty crap showing up on my facebook feed from my "friends." That should be good for a laugh.  Anyway, the picture above is the first installment. It came from a facebook friend and yet I don't even know who she is. Do you guys have friends on facebook you don't recognize?

Oh Yeah, and the Olympics are on!

America, fuck yeah!

Our little girls beat the Russian little girls in gymnastics.

Our septagenarian women's volleyball team is kicking ass! Sad to watch those hot Czech girls lose, though. So torn.

The best archer in the world blows the Gold for the US (that's how I saw it anyway), but silver is nice.

I wish we were better at small racquet/paddle sports because I really want to enjoy ping pong (up your table tennis) and badminton more. Seriously, have you watched any badminton? Kind of ridiculous.

Phelps is good this year, not great. Too famous. Famous makes you lazy. My opinion.

Those are my most astute current observations.

Chik-fil-a Fiasco

And I just have to say that this Chik-fil-a situation drives me crazy. The way the media reports that Chik-fil-a backs Anti-gay Christian groups is so misleading and awful. They are not anti-gay Christian groups, they are merely Christian groups. They are not defined by their stance on homosexuality. I'm not linking Hot Air, but I'm sure you saw the quick piece they wrote on how Liberals so intolerant. Good stuff. I love that the impromptu Support Chik-fil-a Day appears to be a success and I applaud Chik-fil-a themselves for not outwardly trying to capitalize on this, but instead trying to rise above it.

Man, it's nice to get this stuff off my chest. Wait until I tell you about the girl I know who compared Voter ID Laws to Jim Crow. So much to talk about. Come on, who's with me?!

It's Time to Get Back to Business!

I can't take much more of the conservative bashing I get on Facebook without anywhere to vent. So let's get this started!



A lot of people are calling this indoctrination. You know, because glass houses.
