I am trying trying trying to understand the Leftards who CONTINUE to whinge that the weekend’s madness is still somehow the fault of conservatives in general, and Palin in particular, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

I tried for reason.

Now I’m just fucking pissed off.

So let’s break it down…

• You’re pants-shittingly terrified of guns, who knows why.  Maybe big noises just scare you.  More likely the thought of such power in your own inadequate hands simply terrifies you.  Self-control is HARD, as we concealed-carriers know all too well.  It is a struggle, I tell you, to keep from perforating everyone who irritates me on a daily basis.  (That’s SARCASM there, for the sarcasm-impaired.  The fact that I even have to type that sentence makes me look longingly at the cheese grater.)
• Your mommy and your daddy taught you that you Deserve Things, not through hard work or merit, but JUST BECAUSE.  And if you kick your widdle feet and yell loud enough for it, you’ll get it.  Somehow your kindergarten teacher failed to teach you the meaning of the word “fair,” so you made up your very own definition.  Usage example:  ”Whatever *I* want is fair.”

It’s not any more complicated than that.

And Sarah Palin, for fuck’s sake?  Leaving out completely that a simple bullseye graphic on a map has been used since time immemorial by Dems, Reps, hell, probably even Egyptians (“Ali!  I want to target this area for my next pyramid!”), it looks to us like poor Sarah just scares the hell out of you, because she can’t understand how STUPID you think she is and that you really really really want her to shut up.  Here’s a newsflash for you:

Most of us conservatives don’t particularly like her, wouldn’t vote for her as dogcatcher.

Shocking?  Not if you were paying attention.  Easier to sit behind your computers and spew your insane vitriol all over the internets.  As the man says:

If you begin any statement with a variation of “Sarah Palin/GOP/Rightwing didn’t pull the trigger BUT…” you start off in hole of idiocy.

It is time to be done, children.

…then you’re not paying attention.   Choice nuggets:

• Meanwhile, the president of Mexico recently blasted Arizonans from the White House Rose Garden, no less, apparently counting on the president of the United States to go along with this demonization of one of his own states.
• But then she goes on to explicitly include workers who are not documented and to promise them confidentiality, i.e., de facto federal protection for their illegality: “Every worker has a right to be paid fairly, whether documented or not.”
• Each voter was given six votes, and the explicit hope was that Hispanics would give all their votes to Hispanic candidates, voting on the basis of race rather than policy.
• Instead, this administration promises to “kick ass” and put a “boot on their necks” until BP coughs up, say, $20 billion in reparations.
• Instead of putting a moratorium on the sort of deep-drilling procedure and pipe fittings that BP used, the Obama administration simply issued a blanket ban on all offshore drilling — as if the real intent was not to allow the crisis of an oil spill to go to waste in the larger environmental effort to reduce carbon emissions.

If your lip is not already curling, your fists not clenching, then you need to wake the fuck up.

@bdomenech Oh?? Is he going to support that pause after it’s born or have a staffer do it?

The Nooz is funny this morning.

Dubai police appealed for an international manhunt Tuesday after releasing names and photos of an alleged 11-member hit squad accused of stalking and killing a Hamas commander last month in a plot that mixed cold precision with spy caper disguises such as fake beards and wigs.

…

Hamas has accused Israel’s Mossad secret service of masterminding the slaying and has vowed revenge.

Dubai’s police chief, Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim, did not directly implicate Israel at a news conference Monday to announce new details about al-Mabhouh’s death. But he noted the possibility that “leaders of certain countries gave orders to their intelligence agents to kill” al-Mabhouh, one of the founders of Hamas’ military wing.

Does it make anyone else LOL, this thought of the Mossad using 11 whole people to take out one Hamas dirtbag?

HoDo the Yarrrghhing One says Republicans are stewpid.  Um, again.

“One of the most disturbing things about the Republican Party over the last couple of decades is that just they don’t believe in science any more. And that is not an approach that is likely to generate any kind of creative thinking,” Dean said.

Well of course they don’t believe in science…you pussified liberals have completely excised the teaching of it from schools.  Ipso facto, dipshit.

Oh noess. Everybody panic nao.

The wind, a favorite power source of the green energy movement, seems to be dying down across the United States. And the cause, ironically, may be global warming — the very problem wind power seeks to address.

The idea that winds may be slowing is still a speculative one, and scientists disagree whether that is happening. But a first-of-its-kind study suggests that average and peak wind speeds have been noticeably slowing since 1973, especially in the Midwest and the East.

Remember the days when scientists would publish FACTS?

Yeah, me either.

Hey, long time no bitch, eh?  Well, we can fix that right up here today…

Debbie McLucas is one of four hospital supervisors at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield. Last week, she hung a three-by-five foot American flag in the office she shares with the other supervisors.

When McLucas came to work Friday, her boss told her another supervisor had found her flag offensive. “I was just totally speechless. I was like, ‘You’re kidding me,’” McLucas said.

McLucas’ husband and sons are former military men. Her daughter is currently serving in Iraq as a combat medic.

—

McLucas said the supervisor who complained has been in the United States for 14 years and is formerly from Africa. McLucas said the supervisor took down Debbie’s flag herself.

I just have one question:  is the African supervisor in question an actual American citizen?

If no:  have a nice big cup of go fuck yourself.  Oh, and I’ll take that green card, kthx.

If yes:  pistols at dawn.

Subject:  Veto SB 2600

Apparently emboldened by the mass thievery going on at the national level, I see our Florida legislature has taken the policies of our Dear Leader to heart and started grabbing for cash with both greedy little hands.  I am referring, of course, to SB 2600 in which $6 million dollars from the Division of Licensing Concealed Weapons and Firearm Trust Fund has been raided in a move that would make Vikings, Mongols and Tuskens quite proud. 

I am the kind of voter who insists on research, and ordinarily I would quadruple-check anything disseminated by the NRA, however, I am most irritatingly required to rely on the their report of this misappropriation due to the myfloridahouse.gov website’s pitiful coding, which prompts me to download the ASP file that should instead be displaying the full text of the bill. 

I sincerely hope this isn’t by design.  That’s the sort of thing that could cause people to start filing lawsuits.

As a Citizen of this country, as a CCW holder in the state of Florida, I urge you to put an end to this foolishness.  Line-item veto this misappropriation, line-item veto the threat to our state’s education budget if their trust fund theft is circumvented, and shine the light of publicity on the cockroaches that conceived the entire scheme.  Prove to us that you’re different, that you’re not the typical politician, that you deserve your Governorship and a future Senate seat.

Dumb as a fucking rock:

Grammy-award winning musician Tony Bennett told CNSNews.com he “loves everything” Barack Obama has done in his first 100 days as president and thinks every American should “give him all-out support for anything he wants to do.” 
 
Bennett further said that Americans should imitate the other countries of the world that support Obama. “I really hope that every citizen of the United States would imitate the rest of the world because they’re all for Obama,” said Bennett. “Every other country adores what happened – in our great country – to have him as president.”

One wonders how he’s survived this long being entirely incapable of independent thought.

Yes, I’m having a “I hate the fucking news” week again, GTFOI.  Plus, I can’t breade out of by dose.  Which just makes me grumpier.

So I’m out in the garden, making things grow.  Pictures here.
