Another Example of How Fear, Anger, Hatred = Violence

UPDATE: Why "many of America's poorest citizens have a deep emotional attachment to a party that serves the interests of its richest." Read BBC News, Why do people vote against their own interests?

Fear, anger, and hatred is a great campaign strategy. And the Naive-ocrats are too stupid to call the bluff -- give the public what it claims it wants until they don't want it anymore.


UPDATE V: A whole book on how Fear, Anger, Hatred + Radical Right-Wing Media = Violence. Read "The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right," which discusses the connections between conservative media messaging and hate crime. The author has a checklist of "the mobilizing passions," which include:

1. A sense of overwhelming crisis beyond the reach of any traditional solutions.

2. The primacy of the group, toward which one has duties superior to every right, both universal and personal, and the subordination of the individual to it.

3. The belief that the group one belongs to is victimized, which justifies any action without legal or moral limits against the group's enemies, both internal and external.

4. Dread of the group's decline under the corrosive effect of individualistic liberalism, class conflict, and alien influences.

5. The need for closer integration of a purer community, by consent if possible, or by exclusionary violence if necessary.

6. The need for authority by natural leaders (always male), culminating in a national chief who alone is capable of incarnating the group's destiny.

7. The superiority of the leader's instincts over abstract and universal reason.

8. The beauty of violence and the efficacy of will, when they are devoted to the group's success.

9. The right of the "chosen people" to dominate others without restraint from any human or divine law, "right" being decided solely by the group's prowess in a Darwinian struggle.

UPDATE IV: And yet another interesting editorial from The New York Times, The Obama Haters' Silent Enablers.


UPDATE III: Two more interesting editorials from The New York Times, The Way We Are and Hate in a Cocoon of Silence.


UPDATE II: For an argument, with examples, that "right-wing extremism is being systematically fed by the conservative media and political establishment . . . [going] out of their way to provide a platform for conspiracy theories and apocalyptic rhetoric, just as they did the last time a Democrat held the White House," read The New York Times, The Big Hate.

BTW, the writer's opinion is worth considering even if you might disagree with him, he won the Nobel Prize for Economics last year, and is also a Princeton economist and a New York Times columnist.

Does anyone know how many Nobel Prize winners work for Hedgehog News (which falsely uses the name FOXNews)?


UPDATE: From the Washington Post:

Read Feeding the Lone Wolves, and enjoy:

Is it more Republi-Con inspired violence? Probably not so much this time.

But if you need another example of how fear, anger, and hatred can warp judgment, read The New York Times, Museum Gunman a Longtime Foe of Government.

Those that prey on fear, anger, hatred for their own success should know that all too often it leads to violence.

Class Today at NoBullU on WEBY

Listen to the voice of wisdom and reason in a wilderness of partisan rhetoric -- No political insanity, no conservative hypocrisy, no liberal foolishness -- Just straight talk, straight at you, and that’s no bull!!

NoBullU will broadcast today from 4:05 to 5:30 p.m. at 1330 AM WEBY and on line, courtesy of Cyber Smart Computers.

Topics:

Local and regional: the Sheriff and his mistress/crushee, was he used, and

Nation and international: state of dis-union because everybody is angry and is one Republican right, you shouldn't encourage poor folks to have kids (read Gregory Clark's book A Farewell to Alms for the answer).

But I'll discuss anything. (Disclaimer: the host reserves the right to end any discussion and hang up on you.)

So tune-in, call-in, but only if you can handle the truth!

America is Bankrupt, 2010 Budget Proposal is Robbery of Future

UPDATE III: Too little, too late. Read the Washington Post, Obama to propose freeze on government spending.

I tried to warn him last year. He should have proposed a 10% pay reduction for all government payees (workers, retirees, veterans, social security recipients, etc.), 50% for any payment over $100k/year.


UPDATE II: But is Obama Man responsible for the additional $9 trillion in debt, or did he just inherit the problem? Read The New York Times, Who Gets the Blame for the Deep Deficit?

"The analyses of the Congressional Budget Office and the administration’s Office of Management and Budget . . . agree that much of the $9 trillion through fiscal year 2019 is the government’s so-called baseline deficit — the shortfall that would result if current law and policies don’t change."


UPDATE: An update from my post in February. Read The New York Times, Estimate for 10-Year Deficit Raised to $9 Trillion.

Holy cow Obama Man, that's a lot of money.

Unbelievable, in the first budget Obama "proposed $3.55 trillion budget for the coming fiscal year that he said discards "dishonest" accounting practices of the past . . . [that] would push the 2009 budget deficit to a massive $1.75 trillion."

This cartoon made me think . . .























Is Obama doing too much? Others wonder the same. Read, The New York Times, The Big Test.

Of course, Republi-cons hope Obama will fail. But like Crist, I hope he will succeed. That said, I think it is likely that Obama will fail.

(Note a difference between hoping for an outcome and think it likely.)

Why do I think Obama will fail?

In the 2010 budget proposal, Obama said "There are times where you can afford to redecorate your house and there are times where you need to focus on rebuilding its foundation, today, we have to focus on foundations. Having inherited a trillion-dollar deficit that will take a long time for us to close, we need to focus on what we need to move the economy forward, not on what's nice to have."

So, if Obama is serious, he won't redecorate the White House. Therefore I googled the terms Obama, redecorate, "White House," and guess what, the White House is being redecorated.

In addition, the budget includes 'limits' on pay raises for federal workers 2 percent pay and for the military to 2.9 percent. Given the complete failure of government in the last decade, 9/11, Iraq, Katrina, and the economic mess to name a few, and the fact that the federal government is essentially bankrupt, who thinks that government workers should get a raise. Obama's budget should include no pay raise for any government worker, in fact, the budget should require a 10% pay reduction for all government workers.

The government is robbing our future to save the Ponzi scheme that was Wall Street. The banks know it. Read the New York Magazine, The New Etiquette of Bank Robbery.

Time to end the bailout bull!

Time for GRAC.

Follow the Bouncing Dollars

The Devil and His Friend the Preacher

UPDATE II: Was the earthquake in Haiti a "US Black Ops . . . [to] obliterated evidence of US Government and rogue official drug-running complicity . . . channeled through the Haitian capital for many years." (quoting Global Analysis International Intelligence (GAII))

The 2008 presidential nominee for the Constitution Party thinks so, because he is "personally convinced that certain members of the Bush and Clinton families have been involved in the international smuggling of illicit drugs for decades."

Don't forget earlier CONservative CONspiracies.

Just think. that guy could have been president.


UPDATE: Is God punitive and interventionist or as capricious as nature? Read The New York Times, Between God and a Hard Place.

Speaking of Palin and her recent comment that she's all part of God's plan, is death, destruction and misery in Haiti also part of God's plan? One so-called minister of the gospel thinks so. Read Newsweek, Haiti, the devil and Pat Robertson.

Obama the Fawning Sycophant Mutt?

UPDATE V: Does Obama failure = Palin presidency? Read The Root, How Barack Obama Is Paving the Way for a Palin Presidency.


UPDATE IV: What can Obama Man do now? For what one die hard Republi-con thinks, read the Washington Post, Obama's options, in a post-Massachusetts nation.

But another thinks that Obama just can't. Read the Washington Post, Abandoning health care after the Brown election, and other Washington nonsense.

And one writer is just about ready to give up on Obama. Read The New York Times, He Wasn’t The One We’ve Been Waiting For.


UPDATE III: Another Massachusetts miracle -- Republican Scott Brown is now the Senator-elect from Massachusetts, winning the seat once held by the Kennedys.

Of course, the newest Republi-con should fit right in with the party of fiscal incoherent and governing irresponsibility that "offers nothing constructive, nothing coherent, nothing concrete, and no support for anything" the other guys try to do.

So was the special election a big stop sign for the Naive-ocrats, a referendum on health care reform, a repudiation of Obama Man, and/or a resurrection of Republi-cons?

Or in our fast-paced, high-tech political culture, is it all part of the ongoing process of political unalignment.

I'm sure we'll discuss it Friday.


UPDATE II: Today's the day of reckoning in Demochusetts.


UPDATE: Much as it would pain me to see the Republi-cons win the special election in Demochusetts, the Naive-ocrats deserve to lose the seat. Read the Washington Post, Just deserts for Massachusetts Democrats?

The Republi-cons are giving the Naive-crats heartburn in the special U.S. Senate election in Demochusetts. And after a year in office, Obama's got a popularity problem. Why the political change of fortune?

Is it because Obama the mutt yearns to be a pedigreed show-dog? One writer has an interesting take:

"Obama has described himself as a mutt on a couple of occasions. His honest, self-deprecating nature is one of those qualities that is easy to appreciate.

It was a welcomed quality after living with a president for eight years who was born on third base and believed that he had hit a triple.

On the campaign trail, Obama showed enough self-awareness to admit and even celebrate the fact that he was not born into an AKC-registry crowd. But in the last year, Obama too often has given us the impression that he wishes he had. It is as if he developed a desire to be more of a pedigreed Great Pyrenees or an AKC Akita than the mutt we once admired.

It is certainly a pedigreed show-dog crowd that this professed mutt is running the streets with these days.Tim Geithner and Larry Summers, the two-legged canines Obama appointed as Wall Street watchdogs, have everything in common with the fierce, pedigreed Dobermans and Rottweilers who run the show in New York's financial district . . ."

Read the rest of the op-ed at the Pensacola News Journal, Obama is running with a new pack today.

So is Obama more like Spike the Bulldog or Chester the Terrier?


P.S. Remember, I tried to warn him. But I predict the Republi-cons hard sell will backfire. Unfortunately for the voters, the choice between Republi-cons and Naive-crats is like the choice between bad and worse.

Republi-CONs Broke the Economy, But Naive-crats Now Own It

UPDATE II: As I've said before, fear, anger, and hatred works for the campaign, but is not an effective governing strategy. Call the Republi-con bluff.


UPDATE: Time for a vote of raising the debt limit, and after years of fiscal irresponsibility -- two major tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, a costly Medicare prescription-drug benefit and two wars, without paying for any of it -- Republi-cons have found religion.

Naive-ocrats should call their bluff, and refuse to raise the debt ceiling unless it is unanimous. Otherwise, Republi-cons will just use it in the next election.

Here is a life lesson from today's headlines: if you cover for your predecessor's incompetence it will soon be your problem. And in politics, not only will it be your problem, but will spin the blame your way. Read the Washington Post, Promise to Trim Deficit Is Growing Harder to Keep.

Male or Female?

You might not have known this, but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female. Here are some examples:

FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong buttons.

TIRES: Tires are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated.

HOT AIR BALLOONS: Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under their butt.

SPONGES: These are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain water.

WEB PAGES: Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on.

TRAINS: Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for picking up people.

EGG TIMERS: Egg timers are female because, over time, all the weight shifts to the bottom .

HAMMERS: Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at all, but are occasionally handy to have around.

THE REMOTE CONTROL: Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male, but consider this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying.

Prime-Time Propaganda

News as entertainment, just tellin what they want to hear. Read the Baltimore Sun, Sarah Palin's Fox debut: Prime-time propaganda.

Congratulations to Hedgehog News (which falsely uses the name FOXNews) for their new mascot and martyr, "a living breathing symbol of all that the network hopes to be: a place for the forgotten, besieged, suburban and rural American middle, long victimized, often dismissed, beset on all sides by elites and liberals, haters and foes":



Palin's "chipper visage, baseless certitude, utter obliviousness and unwavering belief in her own destiny make her an ideal vessel for this mounting white discontent. It’s perfect: blind faith meets blinding frustration. For an image of what this looks like, simply recall her rallies from the previous election."

I look forward to her tired cliches, random jargon, and catchphrases she had been coached to repeat, often resulting in nonsensical answers and gibberish during the election.

And if an occasional scripted appearance on Hedgehog News is not enough, there is always the Sarah Palin Quote Generator.

She is "the Palin that America has long come to know, at once skittish and confident, sing-songy in elocution, repetitive in substance and Palinesque in diction. . . . "To quibble with any of these utterances, in form or substance, would be to simply help fulfill her" destiny.

It's all part of God's plan.

All Hail, the Great Palin has returned, we are saved!

Then again maybe not, the end-time is upon us.

Realization

From an email:

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day. He has his food prepared for him. He can eat whenever he wants, 24/7/365. His meals are provided at no cost to him. He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup, and again during the year if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him. He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.

If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up. He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep. He receives these accommodations absolutely free. He is living like a king, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.

All of his costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day. I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head...............

Holy S#!t, my dog must be a democrat!

Was the so-called H1N1 flu 'pandemic' just another industry con? Read OpposingViews.com, Expert Says Swine Flu Scare Just a Money-Making Scam.

UPDATE V: Were recent event justification of panic and anit-Muslim discrimination? Read The New York Times, A Year of Terror Plots, Through a Second Prism.


UPDATE IV: How are al-Qaeda and the Republi-cons alike? They both use fear, anger, and hatred for power. Read the Washington Post, Don't panic. Fear is al-Qaeda's real goal.

And don't forget panic -- the Republi-con reaction to the to the failed Christmas terrorist attack make them sound like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off.


UPDATE III: Connect the dots for national security:

Are You Ready for Some Republi-CON Smack Down

UPDATE: "Are the battles among establishment Republicans and the tea party folks the desperate thrashings of a dying movement or the labor pains of a new one?" Read The New York Times, G.O.P. Grief and Grieving.

2010 will be a year of Republi-con civil war, and Florida is where the fighting is now fiercest.

As previously noted, the 2010 Florida Senate race is shaping up to be Washington leadership v. grassroots, pragmatism v. ideological delusion, reality v. lunacy. It is an intra-party fight whether to moderate the political agenda or go all-in conservative hypocrisy, whether the campaign theme should be hope for the future or fear and loathing.

And Florida is a great setting for this smack down, a political "swamp of Elián Gonzáles, Terri Schiavo, Mark Foley, Katherine Harris, William Kennedy Smith, confused Jews voting for Pat Buchanan in Palm Beach County, the National Enquirer (based here), Rush Limbaugh (lives here) and Tiger Woods (crashed here). " (BTW, there is a local NW Florida/Republi-con Riviera angle to the article.)

So get ready for the fun by reading The New York, The First Senator From the Tea Party?


P.S. One of these guys needs a catchy and practical proposal to unite and reform the party. I'd suggest GR&TR (formerly known as GRAC). We'll discuss Friday.

Republi-CON Victimhood

In 1948 Strom Thurmond of South Carolina ran for President of the United States on the Dixiecrat (or States' Rights) ticket. Thurmond had based his presidential campaign largely on an explicit racial segregation platform.

In December 2002, at the 100th birthday party of Thurmond, Trent Lott, Senate Republican leader, said: "When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over the years, either." After an outcry by Democrats, Lott resigned his leadership post.

Now it has been reported that during the last U.S. presidential campaign, Harry Reid, Senate Democratic leader, praised Obama as a "light-skinned" African American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Republicans are demanding Reid resign. Should he?

Is pining for the good old days of segregation and white supremacy the same as an accurate analytical comment on politics and race?

Truth is though, a review of statements by members of both parties show they are not so different after all.

The Frog and Golf

A man goes out golfing.

He is on the second hole when he notices a frog sitting next to the green.

He thinks nothing of it and is about to shoot when he hears, "Ribbit 9 Iron."

The man looks around and doesn't see anyone. Again, he hears, "Ribbit 9 Iron."

He looks at the frog and decides to prove the frog wrong, puts the club away, and grabs a 9 iron.

Boom! He hits it 10 inches from the cup. He is shocked and says "Wow that's amazing. You must be a lucky frog."

The frog replies, "Ribbit Lucky frog."

The man decides to take the frog with him to the next hole.

"What do you think frog?" the man asks.

"Ribbit 3 wood."

The guy takes out a 3 wood and Boom! Hole in one.

The man is befuddled and doesn't know what to say.

By the end of the day, the man golfed the best game of golf in his life and asks the frog, "OK where to next?"

The frog replies, "Ribbit Las Vegas."

"They go to Las Vegas and the guy says, "OK frog, now what?"

The frog says, "Ribbit Roulette."

Upon approaching the roulette table, the man asks, "What do you think I should bet?"

The frog replies, "Ribbit $3000, black 6."

Now, this is a million-to-one shot to win, but after the golf game the man figures what the heck.

Boom! Tons of cash comes sliding back across the table.

The man takes his winnings and buys the best room in the hotel.

He sits the frog down and says, "Frog, I don't know how to repay you. You've won me all this money and I am forever grateful."

The frog replies, "Ribbit Kiss Me."

He figures why not, since after all the frog did for him, he deserves it.

With a kiss, the frog turns into a gorgeous girl.

"And that is how the girl ended up in my room Elin. So help me God or my name is not Tiger Woods."

Religious War Anyone?

Some have suggested strip seaches and separate lines for Muslims.

But should Muslims be banned, as some have suggested, from all U.S. air travel?

And more than half of the people who took an online poll said yes!

It's called guilty by association. Is it appropriate? What do you think?

We'll be discussing this on Friday at NoBullU on 1330 WEBY.

Unusual Talent

This video shows the winner of " Ukraine’s Got Talent", Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch:



She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated.

It is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Ms. Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman’s face appears.

She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier.

This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house.

In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying goodbye..

The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine , resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.

Ms. Simonova is reported to have said: "I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there’s surely no bigger compliment."

UPDATE: The year in review, from JibJab:

Year and decade in review:

For some cute YouTube videos, try the Washington Post, Best and worst of 2009: Internet finds.

For a look back at some of the really, truly bad ideas of this past decade, read the Washington Post, The Worst Ideas of the Decade.

And all kidding aside, did Tiger Woods, "whose sham beatific image was questioned by no one until it collapsed," exemplify the decade?

And just in time for Christmas, the Tiger Woods Mistress Commemorative Plate Collection:




UPDATE II: Source unknown:

Al Sharpton Blasts Tiger Woods for Lack of Mistress Diversity

The Rev. Al Sharpton held a press conference today to blast Tiger Woods for the lack of diversity among his mistresses. Sharpton claims that the lack of African-American women among Woods' harem will have a negative affect on the black community, specifically young black girls.

"Why is it that a man who calls himself black can't bring himself to cheat on his wife with a black woman?" said Sharpton, speaking to a group of supporters in Harlem. "What does it say to young black girls everywhere when you pass them over? Shame on you, Tiger Woods. What would your daddy say?"

Sharpton, who has long championed taking black women as mistresses, said that today's black athletes need to stop neglecting black women when it comes to extramarital affairs, and should follow the examples of positive black role models such as Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King, Jr., both of whom cheated on their wives with black women. Sharpton also stressed that cheating with African-American women would help the black community financially by giving black girls the chance to sell their stories to tabloids and gossip magazines.

Added Sharpton, "I'm not asking you to not cheat on your wives, I'm just asking you to give back to your own community."

UPDATE: Some more jokes:

Tiger's trouble started when he made a rookie error by playing the wrong hole. Followed that up with a bad drive and ended up in a horrible "lie."

What is the difference between Santa Clause and Tiger Woods?
Santa Clause stops at 3 Ho's.

Ping just offered Elin Woods an endorsement contract pushing her own set of drivers.
They said to named Elin Woods..."clubs you can beat Tiger with."

News travels fast. The Chinese are already making a movie about Tiger Woods' crash. They are calling it, "Scratching Swede, Lying Tiger," or how about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Hydrant"?

What do you buy a Tiger for Christmas?
A new windshield!

Tiger crashed his car because he was in a rush to move on to the second hole.

Just because you're the world's no. 1 golfer, it doesn't mean you can't be beaten by your wife.

Tiger Woods wasn't seriously injured in the crash, but he's still below par

What were Tiger Woods and his wife doing out at 2.30 in the morning?
They went clubbing.

"Comedian Chris Rock undoubtedly put it best when he said, 'A man is only as faithful as his options.'"

From a friend:



And what would Christmas be without a few jokes:

What's the difference between a golf ball and an Escalade?
Tiger can drive a gold ball 400 yards.

Police asked Tiger's wife how many times she hit him.
She said, "I don't know, 5 or 6 . . . put me down for a 5."

Elin found out he’s not a Tiger, he’s a Cheetah.

Elin Nordegren got hired today as a consultant.
She’s teaching Phil Mickelson how to beat Tiger.

What do baby seals and Tiger Woods have in common?
Both were clubbed by a Scandanavian.

Tiger Woods is tree under.

Tiger Woods has been dropped by Gilette after admitting this incident was his closest shave ever.

Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree.
He couldn't decide between a wood and an iron.

Have you ever wondered how a woman's brain works? Well it's finally explained here in one, easy-to-understand illustration:



Every one of those little blue balls is a thought about something that needs to be done, a decision, or a problem that needs to be solved NOW.

In comparison, a man only has only two balls and, basically, they consume all his thoughts, if you know what I mean.

A Republi-CON Prayer for Merry Misfortune

I thought the Republi-cons opposed filibusters and favored up-or-down votes in the Senate. Not any more. Now, they hope for misfortune on a Democrat or two, perhaps one of them might die. Read the Washington Post, An ugly finale for health-care reform.

Are You a Conservative Hypocrite?

Do you support (some repeats):

1. Fascists, both in America (see: Pat Buchanan, Robert Stacy McCain, etc.) and in Europe (see: Vlaams Belang, BNP, SIOE, Pat Buchanan, etc.)

2. Bigotry, hatred, and white supremacism (see: Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Robert Stacy McCain, Lew Rockwell, etc.)

3. Throwing women back into the Dark Ages, and general religious fanaticism (see: Operation Rescue, anti-abortion groups, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Tony Perkins, the entire religious right, etc.)

4. Anti-science bad craziness (see: creationism, climate change denialism, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, James Inhofe, etc.)

5. Homophobic bigotry (see: Sarah Palin, Dobson, the entire religious right, etc.)

6. Anti-government lunacy (see: tea parties, militias, Fox News, Glenn Beck, etc.)

7. Conspiracy theories and hate speech (see: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Birthers, creationists, climate deniers, etc.)

8. Right-wing blogosphere that is almost universally dominated by raging hate speech (see: Hot Air, Free Republic, Ace of Spades, etc.)

9. Anti-Islamic bigotry that goes far beyond simply criticizing radical Islam, into support for fascism, violence, and genocide (see: Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, etc.)

10. Hatred for President Obama that goes far beyond simply criticizing his policies, into racism, hate speech, and bizarre conspiracy theories (see: witch doctor pictures, tea parties, Birthers, Michelle Malkin, Fox News, World Net Daily, Newsmax, and every other right wing source).

11. A movement that claims to believe in limited government but backed an unlimited domestic and foreign policy presidency that assumed illegal, extra-constitutional dictatorial powers until forced by the system to return to the rule of law.

12. A movement that exploded spending and borrowing and blames its successor for the debt.

13. A movement that so abandoned government's minimal and vital role to police markets and address natural disasters that it gave us Katrina and the financial meltdown of 2008.

14, A movement that holds torture as a core value.

15. A movement that holds that purely religious doctrine should govern civil political decisions and that uses the sacredness of religious faith for the pursuit of worldly power.

16. A movement that is deeply homophobic, cynically deploys fear of homosexuals to win votes, and gives off such a racist vibe that its share of the minority vote remains pitiful.

17. A movement which has no real respect for the institutions of government and is prepared to use any tactic and any means to fight political warfare rather than conduct a political conversation.

18. A movement that sees permanent war as compatible with liberal democratic norms and limited government.

19. A movement that criminalizes private behavior in the war on drugs.

20. A movement that would back a vice-presidential candidate manifestly unqualified and duplicitous because of identity politics and electoral cynicism.

21. A movement that regards gay people as threats to their own families.

22. A movement that does not accept evolution as a fact.

23. A movement that sees climate change as a hoax and offers domestic oil exploration as the core plank of an energy policy.

24. A movement that refuses ever to raise taxes, while proposing no meaningful reductions in government spending.

25. A movement that refuses to distance itself from a demagogue like Rush Limbaugh or a nutjob like Glenn Beck.

26. A movement that believes that the United States should be the sole global power, should sustain a permanent war machine to police the entire planet, and sees violence as the core tool for international relations.

Ramblings of a Retired Mind

From a retired friend:

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener. I also made a cover for my hearing aid and now I have what they call blue teeth, I think.

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.

I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!

I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.'

I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it 'Pumping Rust'.

I've gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!

When people see a cat's litter box, they always say, 'Oh, have you got a cat?' Just once I want to say, 'No, it's for company!'

Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. I think you should write, 'A Good Doctor'!

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do...write to these men? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they deliver the mail? Or better yet, arrest them while they are taking their pictures!

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me, they were cramming for their finals.

As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.

Obama the Alien Lizard

The Birthers were partly right, now we know -- Obama is an alien, but not from Kenya. He is an alien space lizard. Watch the ABC documentary.

And read the reviews, Gawker, V as an Alien Allegory Attack Against Barack Obama and The Hill, Is Obama an alien? ‘V’ and the age of hysteria.

My apologizes to Pastor Poppins.

Good Advice

Enjoy the following, allegedly first said by Will Rogers:

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco..

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman...neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

UPDATE IV: Still unsure what to do in Afghanistan, then consider some a historical lesson courtesy of the former Soviet Union. Read The New York Times, Transcripts of Defeat.

Still unsure, then think Napoleon and our founding fathers who were opposed to "ceaseless and senseless overseas wars. Wars for territory. Wars for defense. Wars for revenge. Wars because one religion was better than another."


UPDATE III: To Republi-cons, manliness is "quickly invad[ing] a country on the basis of half-baked intelligence." Read the Washington Post, Think before surging.

Tell me, who dithered through five draft deferments to void duty in Vietnam?


UPDATE II: After 7 years of 'dithering' and uncertainty on Afghanistan, Republi-cons are now armchair hypocrites. Read the Washington Post, Armchair Quarterbacks.

Republi-cons have no shame, and very short memories.


UPDATE: More troops, or less troops, how many troops would be just right? Read The New York Times, There’s No Substitute for Troops on the Ground and More Troops Are a Bad Bet.

What should Obama do about Afghanistan?

Remember Santayana's Law of Repetitive Consequences, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

All Puns Intended

From a friend:

1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."

3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.

4. A dyslexic man walked into a bra.

5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm, and says: "A beer please, and one for the road."

6. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"

7. "Doc, I can't stop singing The Green, Green Grass of Home." "That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome." "Is it common?" "Well, It's Not Unusual."

8. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true; no bull!" exclaims Daisy.

9. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either.

10. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.

11. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day, but I couldn't find any.

12. I went to a seafood disco last week... and pulled a mussel.

13. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.

14. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, "Dam!"

15. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Not surprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

16. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office, and asked them to disperse."But why?" they asked. "Because," he said. "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

17. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt, and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain ; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

18. An old priest walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

19. A dwarf, who was a mystic, escaped from jail. The call went out that there was a small medium at large.

20. And finally, there was the person who sent 20 different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least 10 of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in 10 did.
