Winter is Coming

I'm a big fan of George R.R. Martin's series, "A Song of Ice and Fire." It's fantasy, which is a genre I'm not terribly fond of in general, but it's definitely adult family. It's been described as the Sopranos meets Lord of the Rings, but I think it's more like True Romance meets Lord of the Rings. It's gritty and dark, and "realistic" as far as fantasy goes. Anyway, I highly recommend it to anybody who likes gripping, well-written epics. I'm not a book-reviewer, so I'm sure somebody could give a better pitch for the books than I can, but that's not what I'm here for. A while back, HBO confirmed that it had picked up the series to be adapted into a mini-series (the perfect format for the books; they were made for the mini-series format) that would come out in 2011. The cast is perfect, exactly as I had imagined them in my head when reading the book. Here's the first look at the first book (I think it's one season per book, so the first book is A Game of Thrones) with a teaser that aired with the season finale of True Blood the other day, as well as a video of production on the set. Enjoy, and get excited, because "Winter is coming."

 

In Production

 

The Viking Returns!

After a weeklong break during my training course, I am returning to the blog. Please, contain your excitement, I don't want anybody to go into cardiac arrest. I have come to the decision that I will start breaking up my posts, with an individual post for each topic that I write about, and one post per day with a roundup of my favorite links that speak for themselves (or call for minimal commentary).

Victory: Possession of Pot Down to Infraction from Misdemeanor. C'mon Prop 19, pass this fall and give us something to cheer about. Hawaii has legal medical marijuana, I wonder how long until it gets legalized here... probably a long time, considering how long it takes to get anything achieved in Hawaii (30+ years to build H3?). 

From commenter CF, a glorious story about crack in crack... that is, crack-cocaine in a butt-crack. But don't worry, it's not his, he swears!

People fret about diseases making the jump from animals to humans (bird flu, swine flu), but Prof. Jacobson gives us a new cause for concern. Computer Virus Makes Jump to Humans. That stuxnet virus is both terrifying and incredible. I hope we're amping up our cyber-warfare divisions...

Rick James, take notice: The Dangers of Unity. Ed's a smart man, and he hit the nail on the head right here.

Scary stuff in Paris (video at the link). Hat tip to the Mother Viking. For those who have been paying attention, this shouldn't be news to you. Nonetheless, it's pretty crazy to actually see it.

The Miracle of Science: Boob Job in a Bottle. I'm not a big fan of fake bewbs, but if you could make your bewbs larger by stimulating natural body processes, please by all means go ahead. And email me, [email protected] if you'd like feedback.

I'm not a smoker, and I'm happy that I don't have to hang out in stinky smoke filled restaurants and all that, but c'mon this is just retarded: Cincinnati Reds Reported to Health Department for Smoking Victory Cigars. In their own clubhouse... and they were reported by their own fans. But seriously, do they really expect us to believe that there's a team called the Cincinnati Reds?

VDH wrote another great piece, and I wanted to pick out some quotes for you all, but I'd have just taken the whole thing, and I think it truly deserves a full read. This is the one I urge you to read out of all the links in the post. This is the one that would get it's own post if it wasn't late at night (I will start doing that tomorrow). Read the whole thing! How the Unbelievable Can Become the Accepted.

An old argument I've made before, but simply and shortly stated here in this video. Liberals should by all means be Israel's biggest supporters. Would that that were so... The Liberal Case for Israel:

 

Being anti-Israel is almost exclusively a left-wing phenomenon in this nation. That is, not all lefties are anti-israel, but all most anti-Israel folks are lefties. Similarly, not all lefties are anti-American, but most anti-American folks are lefties.

Tony Soprano meets Al Gore: Reduce Your Emissions... Or Else. That's some of the craziest Enviro-fascism I've ever seen, and let me tell you, I've seen my fair share of humanity hating radical Environmentalists. Needless to say the more moderate environmentalists are not thrilled about this campaign.

Apparently, the 1940's are ancient history. Because people who died in my lifetime are obviously irrelevant now. Next they'll tell us that Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead is an obscure, kooky text from days long gone (The Fountainhead was published a couple years before Hayek's Road to Serfdom). NYT's Kate Zernike, you fail. Glenn's got some good comments as well at Instapundit.

From my college buddy Leornidas, the appropriate comeback to use if you're a woman and a man asks you to make him a sandwich.

And from my other college buddy and BFFE, Dr. Ago, here's the coolest picture I've seen all weekend. Yes, it's real. Click to see it full sized.

100th Post!

Today marks my 100th post, a very important benchmark for a super serious blogger like myself. I should be getting a book deal soon, right? Somebody pay me damnit! So that's not the only recent bench mark in my life. Last week, and I forgot to mention it on my blog because it was on the weekend, was the 2nd year mark of my navy career. This is important for two reasons:

1.  It's a nice count-down reminder of how much time I have left.
2. Pay raise!!!

You'd think I have something special planned for today's post, but I don't.

If there's one link you click on today, make it this one. VDH wrote an excellent post about the Obama administration's Animal Farm. I don't think it could be put any better than that, and quite frankly, I'm jealous that I didn't write it. Curse you, VDH!!!! CURSE YOU!!!!!!

Some discouraging, perhaps even worrying news from Turkey. How long can they remain a secular democracy? Scary question...

More troubling Turkey news: Big Contributions From Iran.

According to this report, I should be excellent at quick decision making. I don't think I'm good enough, maybe I should play more Counterstrike. Let's see if I can convince the Navy that we should have annual Halo training for 4 weeks.

When you've lost John Stewart... Dems are in deep trouble in November, lucky for them it's not 2012.

How to concede election results with grace. Would that more losers act this way, sportsmanship seems very underrated these days.

Daily dose of Paul Ryan.

Daily dose of Chris Christie.

WaPo hackery: Extending Bush Tax Cuts Would Deprive Government of $4 Trillion. Ed explains the hackery, but the short of it is that keeping the status quo doesn't deprive the government of anything, but raising taxes would increase tax intake by $4 trillion. The way they write it, it's like we owe them that money of ours (well, we do). I pay them quite enough, thanks.

Yesterday I read about a big announcement that would excite Democrats around the nation. This announcement, I read, was to be announced on the 15th of September by Tim Kaine. Allah had some interesting and hilarious hunches about what the announcement might be, and he wasn't far off, but he was ultimately wrong. If you click the link, and follow his link to the new "car metaphor," you are liable to laugh. It was Glenn and his readers, however, who had my favorite reaction to the big news today.

“It’s no fun when they are so easy. How long before that logo shows up with a red cross bar running from 10 to 4?”

If I were worth a damn at photoshop, I'd have been all over that hours ago. Good thing I've got MS Paint! Done and done.

 Artist Behind Everybody Draw Mohammud Day Forced to Change Identity. I have little sympathy for her, especially because she chickened out and apologized after it caught on. The real reason I have no sympathy for her is because I, Reed the motherfucking Viking, created Everybody Draw Mohammud Day first! I created it the day the South Park episode 201 aired. I got no credit because nobody reads my blog, but damnit I thought of it first, I should be the one with the death threats! I'm trying so damn hard here, somebody notice me and threaten to kill me! I thought of wearing an outfit made from meat to try to provoke PETA, but unfortunately I'm a little late on that one... Allah also goes into why he supported EDM Day but not the Quran burning with pretty much the same reasoning that I use. The most important point is found here, which I pretty much 100% agree with:

"As I acknowledged during Koran-apalooza last week, it’s a fine line between Jones’s stunt (which I opposed) and “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” (which I supported). One of the reasons I look dimly on dopey atheist gags like erecting “Secular Trees” next to Christmas trees on public squares is because the offense to Christians seems gratuitous. Sure, they’re making a point about religion in the process, but they’re doing it in a way that looks like mockery, calculated to annoy. They have the right, but why alienate people with a taunt? That’s what Jones’s stunt seemed like to me — not so much a message to jihadis, even though he tried to frame it that way at times, but something aimed at provoking all Muslims, a group that includes people like Zuhdi Jasser. EDM Day wasn’t aimed at all Muslims, though. Some moderates were bound to take offense, but the point of the day was to push back against the sort of jihadis who’ve now forced Norris into hiding. Intent and intimidation do count here; if Christian fundies were threatening to kill atheists over “Secular Trees,” my calculations would change accordingly. But either way, there simplymust be space for this sort of offense in public debate. I’m open to drawing the line in a slightly different place, but the line has to be drawn somewhere."

Well said, Allah.

Glenn also linked to that story on Instapundit, and his comment goes back to what I was saying yesterday about the victim being blamed for the violent offender's actions.

"Blaming the victim is what people do, when they’re scared and don’t want to do anything about what’s scaring them."

True words right there. 

Hot Mexican Chick in Tight Clothes Gets Cat-Called in Locker Room. Really? This is a news story? There's nothing more dog bites man than this. 2+2 = 4, and smoking hot women in flattering outfits who walk into a locker room are going to get attention for their looks. Normally I'd ignore this retarded "story," but it's about my Jets (who suck, but whatever) so I felt compelled to comment. Lori Ziganto does a good job with this one, so just click the link and read her perspective. This really was just an excuse to post a picture of a hot chick.

 Men can't be men anymore in this country apparently, not even in the NFL. Next thing you know, they'll be sitting next to Tiger being treated for their sex addictions.

Jonah Goldberg revisits some excellent libertarian concepts. I've argued on the blog that a market economy is cooperative and fairer than a "fair" and "planned" economy. The biggest takeaway from this article, for me, was the concepts explored in "I, Pencil." You don't know how to make a pencil, and not even a pencil expert could do it himself nor could he know the immediate needs at every level in the process in a timely manner. I don't care how many Ivy League degrees you have, or how many Nobel Prizes you've won, a centralized body will not be as well equipped to deal with the issues at hand as the people who are actually affected. Not to mention the law of unintended consequences that comes into play every time new legislation passes (did somebody say higher insurance premiums?).

My father wrote about the law of unintended consequences today. Environmentalists know that bikes are better for the environment than cars, so as logic dictates, biking to work should be incentivized, right? Cue the law of unintended consequences: 

"The City took away one traffic lane and two parking spots and now has cars oddly placed in the middle of the street.  During periods of usual traffic, the loss of one lane increases transit time significantly.  Traffic never moves fast in New York (though the recession has helpfully cut the number of cars driving in the City; perhaps the Democrats can use that as evidence for the silver lining of their economic policies?)  Here is the conundrum for the Bloomberg administration, as it increasingly attempts to micromanage the behavior of New Yorkers: although their desire to save the planet and protect the health of New Yorkers is admirable, (it is for our own good, after all) they have neglected to factor in the unintended consequences of their policies.  For example, of the number of people who travel up First Avenue everyday, less than 1% are riding bikes.  If the bike lane causes increased congestion (which it does) then the net benefit on our carbon footprint will go up, rather than down.  Furthermore, the loss of parking spaces on the street means people will have to use parking garages more often (which increases the city's coffers by virtue of their 18.5% tax on their ridiculously high fees) which increases the cost of doing business in New York.  A not insignificant number of tax paying commuters will conclude, as all the costs of living and working in New York increase (again, the cost of food, clothing, and all other necessities goes up when the city makes it more costly to move around), that doing business in New York is just not worth the expense and the inconvenience.  Thus, our Mayor's desire, admirable as it is, to control every aspect of life in the Big City, will lead to a deterioration of life in the Big City. "

He also waxes poetic towards the end of his post, with a funny take on a poem about the Holocaust (Funny? Holocaust? You're sick Reed). Also it's a good post because he linked to me, thanks Dad.

One of my favorite blogs, Are We Lumberjacks, made me piss my pants with this one today.

 

Politicians Gone Wild

It's more exciting than Girls Gone Wild... well, probably not, but it's at least as entertaining... Politicians Gone Wild will be interspersed throughout the post. Some will speak the truth, some will yell the truth, and others will make themselves look like assholes on what they probably took for granted as an easy interview on friendly turf with the Daily Show. Read on to find out!

Hopefully this Boston man doesn't get charged for defending himself with the use of deadly force. Imagine, you're getting robbed and shot a few times, kill your assailants, and you're recovering in the hospital when you get a court summons. Shittiest week evah.

Sometimes, on the very rarest of occasions, a politician will come out and tell the truth. Rep Tom Perriello (D - VA): "The only way to get congress to balance the budget is to give them no choice, and the only way to keep them out of the cookie jar is to give them no choice... if you don't tie our hands, we will keep stealing." I'd be shocked if it wasn't something everybody already knows.

I've got to get my hands on this: Child Molester's Bible - Police say manual on 'how to molest children' is legal. Yeah, it's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane. Included are important tidbits on how to convince the kids not to tell their parents, what type of kids to go after and so on. Good summer leisure reading.

Florida College Shuts Down Conservative Group After Seeing Anti-Obama Literature. This sort of thing is not as uncommon as you'd think at an institution that's supposedly a place for the free exchange of ideas. FIRE has been on top of all sorts of free speech type cases at schools around the country; if you are experiencing discrimination or the rejection of your first amendment rights, these guys are your advocates.

Viking Blogger Knows Where He Wants to Work When He Gets Out of the Navy: Tucker Carlson's News Organization, the Daily Caller, has installed a kegerator in his office. He doesn't drink, but he wants his employees to enjoy their work. Where can I sign up? Right now if I drink at work, I go to jail and make big rocks into little rocks, and at night time I get to play hide the salami with Big Earl.

Stores lie about their pants size to make you feel better. That's annoying, considering about 85% of the clothing I get is in gift form at the holiday/birthday time. Way to make things difficult, dickheads. Then again, I don't shop at Old Navy 'cause I'm too baller, if I'm not wearing custom tailored Italian designer suits, it's cause I'm geared up Viking style with my rape suit* on.

*My rape suit is a pair of sweatpants...

Alternate Headline: Some of us in deep, deep denial. I always wondered if ugly people know that they're ugly... thankfully, it's not a problem I have to worry about.

I'm sorry you feel this way about us, Mr. Chinese UN Diplomat. Until these old school communists are out of office and the military, I don't have much hope for good Sino-American relations. On the flip side, I have a lot of hope (fuck, the h-word... Obama really ruined that one), er, I have a good feeling about the future of China and their leaders of tomorrow. I truly believe they're headed in the right direction (but are we?).

Proven: Flamboyant Dance Moves Attract Female Mates. And yes, I'm talking about humans. How do you think I get so many girls? I let my hips swing and my arms flail like a Donkey Kong. One day I'll post a video for you all to see ;).

Legendary author of science fiction, Arthur C. Clarke, correctly predicts the future over 50 years ago. Awesome video, the man was wise beyond his years.

John Stewart to Tim Kaine: "You're the underdog in what universe?" Awesome interview on the Daily Show with John Stewart and Virginia Governor Tim Kaine (D). Stewart, an admitted lefty, tears Kaine up, and even visibly gags and rolls his eyes when his own crowd eats up the bullshit Kaine lays out. Note, later in the interview, that Kaine somewhat subtly gives Stewart the finger. I might disagree with John Stewart most of the time, and I think he's often very dishonest when it comes to reporting the other side, but he's a funny guy usually, a good entertainer, and proven that he's not such a lightweight. This ain't like getting interviewed by Olby, Kaine.

Steven Colbert had Vice President Biden on last night in another great tribute to the troops episode. Steven Colbert has a history of being awesome for the troops, and Biden keeps it classy as well. Though I disagree with pretty much everything Biden says from a political standpoint, I have always liked the guy (search my blog archives, you'll find it to be true). He's a funny character, and sometimes he's a bit of an asshole, which I find hilarious, although people without a sense of humor might take issue with him. Also, in the video he refers to his homestate as "Dover." 

Omri Casspi (first Israeli in the NBA) experiences his first brush with anti-semitism in this country. I thought California was one of those progressive states... Happy New Year, Omri, and good luck next year. (H/T: BFF Guiseppe Fratelli)

Researchers translate thought to speech, could have implications for those "locked-in" patients. I love the future.

Time to weigh in on the whole Quran burning Church thing... that church is led by a serious asshole. There is nothing constructive that could possibly come out of burning the Muslim holy book, and it will only alienate the moderate Muslims out there. It's not comparable to the Ground Zero Mosque because at least, in theory, that Mosque is about bridging cultural divide, despite it's shady anti-American imam. Even though I don't buy the bridging cultural divide bullshit, building a mosque at Ground Zero is not inherently hateful. The book burning is inherently hateful and it comes from a hateful man who also launched a "no homo mayor" campaign. Some officials, including Obama, Petraeus and Gates, have urged him not to burn the books because it'll put our troops in harms way. I would urge him not to burn the books because it's indecent and detestable. I think the troops argument is stupid, because if we were going to censor ourselves from every action that might upset the extremist Islamic militants, we'd be going down a slippery slope (canceling South Park, maybe? Censoring newspapers from reporting on the war?). I mean, what DOESN'T piss off the Islamic militants? I know short skirts do, and by G-d if they took those, I'd revolt. So don't burn the books, not because it'll hurt the troops (that'd be cowing to the bully, appeasing the tyrants), but because it's just plain wrong and goes against the freedom to practice religion that this country was built upon. That's my word.

The Orlando Sentinel has, from what I've seen so far, the best take on the story. I disagree with the implication that this is totally the media's fault, but agree that without the media taking notice of this story, nobody would give a damn and troops' lives wouldn't be in danger. This Reverend is a media whore, a Christianist Paris Hilton or Tila Tequila. Don't reward him for his bad behavior by giving him press. Some highlights in the link are the Sentinel calling him a hick and likening him to Hulk Hogan. Last I read, the Reverend has indefinitely postponed the Quran burning, presumably due to pressure from the feds?

The Imam in charge of the Ground Zero Mosque wrote an op-ed in the times which I can't read since I don't pay for it. Allah has a good post on it here. The most important line, in my opinion, is from Allah's reaction, which sums up exactly how I think about the sanctimonious lefties patting themselves on the back for their moral superiority.

"Rauf is willing to make a concession to the feelings of opponents, at least in theory, in the name of “dialogue”; that’s more than you can say for the lefty commentariat who’ve treated this episode, as always, mainly as an exercise in self-congratulation for their moral supremacy."

This whole debacle is just ugly, and I really hope I don't have to write any more about it. It makes me pretty sick, how disgusting the atmosphere has become surrounding this "debate." 

At the link is a video of exactly why I love Chris Christie. This video, as Allah says, is not quite as good as the last one where he figuratively cockslapped a union shill at a townhall meeting, but it's still pretty damn awesome. This guy talks real talk. He says exactly what he means, and he does exactly what he says he's going to do, and he'll explain it with not-so-nice words if he needs to. This guy is the definition of "keepin it real." Unlike so many pols that just spew platitudes (which of course, is a platypus with an attitude), this guy speaks English. I've never seen a politician communicate better than this guy.

Remember when I just said, "I've never seen a politician communicate better than thus guy?" I take it back. With a BA in Communications just to prove how great a communicator he is, Phil Davison is filmed here, giving a speech to be nominated for Stark County Treasurer. (H/T: Allahpundit)

I literally laughed through the entire speech. His voice cracking, forgetting his speech, and his pacing around the room have me rolling. I wonder if that's his actual speaking voice. He sounds like Joe from Family Guy when he's yelling (played by Patrick Warburton). If there is one video you watch today, make it this one, you will not regret it. Also, I just realized, I have a friend from college who we used to call Chris Phil Davison... maybe they're related? 

Peterson/Davison 2012.

P.S. - Davison did not get the nomination, sadly.

We're in a Depression, Will Healthcare Provide Free Zoloft?

One of my best friends, college graduate Dreidel Bagelwicz (he's Joooooish), is somewhat interested in going into law. He works as a paralegal at the moment, and he told me he might apply for law school in the upcoming years. I told him that I'd read a lot on the depression of the law industry, and how law students were suing (typical) their schools for fudging numbers on their employability estimates. Put simply, law graduates are having trouble getting jobs these days. He said he knew of the situation, and that was the end of the conversation. Well, Dreidel, if you're reading this, I have great news for you! You DO have job opportunities after law school! True, those lucky students go to UCLA which is ranked 15, but still I do believe there is hope for you. One day, you too may be able to drive some old guy's lexus around some traffic jam.

It'd be fun to be a chauffer... if you got to use this car. DIY: Students build an electric car that passes 300 mp/h. Those bastards better be careful, we all know the dangers of going super-sonic and entering the 8th dimension. I mean, Dr. Lizardo and Buckaroo Bonzai showed us the very real dangers of that sort of travel. Lord John Whorfin is not to be trifled with.

Google, like alcohol and duct tape, can pretty much do anything. Google launches new program to allow you to make free domestic calls from your computer. International calls cost about $0.02 a minute. Cool stuff, too bad I don't trust Google as far as I can throw them (trick statement: You can't throw something that's everyhere).

iPhone, like google, duct tape and alcohol can pretty much do anything. Couple uses iPhone to thwart robbery in their home from 1400 miles away on vacation. Pretty cool, but to be honest, this is sort of old news. Over 4 years ago I installed a little program on my laptop that was an alarm. When activated, any person who did not properly de-activate it would set off the alarm, which would simultaneously take a picture through the webcam and send an email with the picture attached to my personal email. I love the future.

Economist: Good news, we're officially in a depression. Well, there's two ways to go when you hit rock bottom... up, or suicide. My bet: the American economy doesn't have the balls to commit suicide. Pussy! Chicken! Yeah, you're such a failure you can't even kill yourself. Seriously, that's how you're supposed to talk to depressed, suicidal people. They react terribly to compassion, you must goad them, because if they're all emo, they def don't have the balls to off themselves. Trust me, the Navy makes us do suicide prevention training a few times a year, I'm basically like a black-belt in suicide prevention.

Why Hollywood loves liberalism, explained. Pretty standard fare, although I do think this is a noteworthy quote: "As Nozick said, “a capitalist society rewards people only insofar as they serve the market-expressed desires of others; it rewards in accordance with economic contribution, not in accordance with personal value.” This might seem counter-intuitive but, if you think about it, a system that rewards individuals for improving the lot of others is far fairer than one that rewards them for some arbitrary intrinsic quality." Uh oh... the author of that article made capitalism sound fair, I don't like it any more!

Ulysses: Not just unreadable James Joyce garbage, but a real, living man? Ok, so I've never read Joyce's Ullyses, but I have read Dubliners and I rather liked it. Homer's Odyssey was one of the first books I ever read (well, my dad read it to me). I always liked when he tricks the cyclops and calls himself "No man" but then, in a showcase of textbook hubris, he reveals his identity.

Question of the day (H/T: Hotair): Is it simply British to 'get smashed'?

This is why teacher tenure needs to go... Unbelievable: Teacher assigns class project where they plan a terror attack. Well, I took forensics and I have a great assignment for her students as well. I'd like them to plan a murder, and the person who's plan has the least risk of getting caught will be picked for the follow up assignment :). Hint: the target is female and Australian, working as a teacher. Good luck!

Obama Inflatable Sex Doll on sale in Asia. There are pictures up if you follow the link. Wow, just wow. Maybe they got their inspiration from this? I mean, Superman is the protector of the human race, let's take it one step further and make a doll of the protector of te entire planet! Oceans will rises, babies will cease to cry, yes we can!

I didn't write about it when it happened, because I didn't care much and I didn't think you all would care either, but there was a time when a lot of violence was being blamed on tea-bag hers (I did write about that). A census worker's suicide was blamed on the political right and used as proof of escalating wingnuttery. On the right, they're still waiting for apologies, aren't they. Well they were also blaming the firebombing of Rep. Russ Carnahan's campaign office on righties, which I found to be more feasable but without proof, it's just demagogery. Turns out the culprit was a lefty and former staffer to Carnahan. So when a muslim cab driver in NY was brutally attacked recently, of course the left practiced some restraint until the facts cleared up. Who am I kidding, the usual suspects jumped on "islamaphobia" on the right contributing to the attack, when the police confirm it was a man who works for Park 51, the group involved with the mosque near ground zero. Glenn's got the scoop in the same link above, as does the blog American Power (sorta a redundant name, I think... let's take it one step furter. Male American Power, booyah suck it feminists!).

Allah introduces us to a new hilarious political candidate, who as he notes, doesn't fit in the same category as Basil Marceaux or Alvin Greene perhaps. Read the link above to get some better commentary, but watch the video and see for yourself what kinda guy we're dealing with here. Fine, I know you people hate clicking links so I'll provide an excerpt. "He looks a bit like Chris Farley, he sounds a bit like Jack Black, but the magic is all his own, my friends."

That'll do it for me today. If you look over to the right side of the blog, you'll see my twitter feed is embedded, feel free to follow me on twitter if you'd like. I'm moving into my new place tomorrow, and it'll be a week or two before I have internet at home, but I should be able to continue posting as normal by either stealing internet from a neighbor, or going to a starbucks as a last resort. Either way, I should be blogging, but don't boycott me if I don't, I love your sweet, sweet traffic.

I Made Up A Word: Jewbral

Stephen Hawking: Humans - Explore Space of Face Extinction. I've been trying to get out to the great unknown with my brothel harem for G-d knows how long. After finishing Childhood's End and realizing the stars are not for man, I was disillusioned, but I'm ready to forget about that book now.

Artificial life forms evolve basic intelligence. I don't know what's scarier, the fact that man-made life forms are evolving, or the fact that they look like moths! That's surefire proof that A.I. is evil right there. Not that we needed more proof, I've seen the Matrix and Terminator. If we can create evolving artificial life, why couldn't somebody have created us? Maybe those religious fags are onto something... Are we just Sims?! WHO AM I? If there is a creator, I bet he likes Pink Floyd.

Jonas Brothers:

1. Jonas sews up his own leg because E.R. wait is too long. Never thought I'd say this about a Jonas, but this guy is pure, 100% 'Mrrkin man. Never mind that he's Swedish and thus, probably can't even pronounce Jonas (it might be like, Yonah or something; I don't know, am I even using the right stereotype here?). Damn Swedes and their delicious Swedish Fish!
2. George Jonas talks about the ground zero mosque. I know I've talked pretty extensively about the ground zero mosque before, but I think George Jonas talks about it better than I do so I'll leave it to him. He says everything I've been thinking, but am too inept to put into (English) words. It's a short article, and it's really damn good, just read it.

While on the topic of the mosque*, let's see what these two Canadian terrorists Muslims have to say about it. I know what you're thinking: "Canadian AND Muslim? How could it get any worse?" Let me tell you how: They're half Mexican (and not the legal kind). If they didn't have to go to American public school with all of us bigots, they certainly dodged a bullet; I know that in my high school, we would've knocked the turban off those mullets. Ah, yes, as I was saying, let's see what these two Canadian (LOL!) Muslims (scary and foreign!) have to say about the mosque: Um, Earth to White people: yeah, it's a provocation. When I say white people, I'm referring to the "stuffwhitepeoplelike" type of White person, of course. To paraphrase the article, "You are a dumb dumby if you think this is about holding hands and singing kumbayah, but that's not even the important thing to look at. Look at the $100 million and where it's coming from." Ok, how about a real quote, Reed.

"As for those teary-eyed, bleeding-heart liberals such as New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and much of the media, who are blind to the Islamist agenda in North America, we understand their goodwill.

Unfortunately for us, their stand is based on ignorance and guilt, and they will never in their lives have to face the tyranny of Islamism that targets, kills and maims Muslims worldwide, and is using liberalism itself to destroy liberal secular democratic societies from within."

It's a good article for sure, and I know I was poking fun of the authors, but definitely worth the time. There's a little philosophical overlap with the Jonas piece, but read it anyway for the parts that don't overlap. These guys seem legit, made more so by their awesomely named book titles, "Their Jihad... Not My Jihad" and "The Jew is Not My Enemy." You can find those on the shelf next to the female empowerment classic, "Overcooked Rice is Not a Legitimate Excuse for the Beatings," and of course, it's sequal "Battered Woman: 200 Pancake and Waffle Recipes So Good He'll Keep His Hands on the Table and Off You!" Cause pancakes and waffles are made from batter, so she's a battered woman, get it? I can't take full credit for that one (and I'm not sure I want to) so I'll give due credit for the battered woman joke to Forrington Emhouse.

Red Eye's Greg Gutfeld, on the other hand, was inspired by the story of the ground zero mosque; so inspired that he decided to create a project to build another bridge that needs building. Greg Gutfeld: I'm raising money to build a Muslim gay bar next to the Ground Zero Moqsue.

Paul Krugman apparently wrote an article bitching about Paul Ryan's Roadmap that I was too lazy to read, but I'll dishonestly assert that it was full of crap. I mean c'mon, anybody who wishes that our government functioned more like communist China doesn't have anything to say that I find particularly worth hearing... Oh, what's that? That's Thomas Friedman who does that? Excuse me for being unable to tell the difference between two jewbrals (jewish liberals) who work at the Times and have stupid facial hair. To be fair, at least Pauly K got a Nobel Prize (but so did Obama, so what's that really worth?). Back on topic though, Paul Ryan responded to Krugman's article, and since I like him and his plan, he gets a link and some free press, suck it Paul (Krugman, not Ryan).

Daniel/Christie 2012? No, not for office, but for a weird lesbian scene (granted Chrstie could take a time machine back to when she was young and spry). I meant THIS Daniels/Christie 2012... I wish. My friends and readers all know I love Chris Christie, half because of what he does, but mostly because of how he does it (check your math, Reed... How can you half love something, and then mostly love some other part of it? Two halves make a whole). Mitch Daniels on the other hand, is somebody who I find interesting and impressive, but haven't written or talked much about. He's quiet and not particularly charismatic, and he doesn't have the advantage of looking like a fat guy from New Jersey. On the other hand, he has undoubtably done better things with his state than possibly any other Governor, and his poll numbers show it. So that's why I give him the top of the ticket, and Christie the bottom.

I was told I'm getting an exclusive scoop about a new political campaign ad that should blow Basil Marceaux and Dale Peterson out of the water. I should be getting my hands on it later this week, just standby. Until then, here's a story of a plane steward (almost undoubtably gay, just guessing based on occupation) who cussed out his passengers and peaced out the emergency exit, only after first grabbing some beers to go. Awesome...

*For the record, Mosque is NOT the french spelling of the word Mask, but it is the British pronounciation.

Universal Solution: Alcohol Cures Toe Infection

So I'm re-reading Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke because I haven't read it since freshman year of high school and I remember liking it a lot. I must say, despite being written in the 1950's, is still pretty relevant today. The Viking Summary without spoilers: Peaceful Alien Overlords come to Earth and usher in an age of peace and prosperity, where humans basically live to pursue knowledge and interests (although most choose to mindlessly consume television like sponges). All nations are dissolved and the human race is united (Clarke makes a point that Israel is not happy about this since they had been the most recent to get an independent state after working for hundreds of years for it). Obviously there's a LOT more to the novel, especially stuff I will not spoil for you, that's just a very basic introduction to the plot. The main idea is that, although everything seems to be pretty good, humans are banned from certain things "for their protection" in this ultimate nanny state, such as interstellar travel and space flight in general. They are also not permitted to speak to (with the exception of the U.N. SecGen) or even see the overlords for a long time. One thing that struck a chord with me today was that the Supervisor of Earth (an overlord) held a press conference with the human media and would not allow them to record it, though he recorded it himself. Sound familiar to you (hint: see yesterday's post about police and the law)? Sci-fi often has a libertarian streak to it, if you don't believe me just check out The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Maybe that's why I like it? (Real reason: Inter-alien sex scenes... that green girl from the new Star Trek movie, wow).

Statism gone too far: State inspectors crack down on little girl's lemonade stand. You can't make this shit up. Next thing you know they'll be arresting good samaritans who are running a safe rides program for drunk people to cut down on drunk driving. This is normally where I'd attempt humor through my commentary, but honestly, the headlines speak for themselves. I guess I can say a naughty word to go for some laughs: Poop.

Glenn linked to this post by The Other McCain talking about a new scandal for North Dakota Governor and senatorial hopeful John Hoeven. Apparently, his Democrat opponents think it's a scandal that his daughter had modeling photos in a bikini. If that's a scandal to Mr. Hoeven, I can't imagine what he'd feel like if he was Lawrence Fishburne. For those too lazy to click the link, Lawrence Fishburne's daughter Montana decided to release a sex tape to boost her non-existant career. Glenn, myself and Mr. McCain all agree that the Republicans should have more scandals like this one. Maybe someday the Republicans can get the youth vote if they keep this up. I'll post the image here to help generate traffic while I'm at it, thanks Mr. McCain!

If you live in North Dakota, please vote for John Hoeven, if only just to keep him in the spotlight so we could possibly get some more of this. Thank you. Sincerely, Reed the Viking.

You know who is hot? Hermione. I found a new picture, so here it is:

WHAT THE FUCK? Who is that young man and what'd they do to Hermione? I am boycotting Harry Potter 7 parts one AND two for this bullshit. Hermione, if you wanted to become a lesbian who looks like a young man, you could have at least gone for the J.Biebz look and joined Lesbianswholooklikejustinbieber.com. Instead she's just gone all lesbians who look like the kid from Big Daddy. Seriously though, Hermione - It's about 10 years to late for you to audition for the part of Draco Malfoy, just give it up.

The Future: Wife Learns of Husband's Second Marriage Through Facebook. I try to feel bad for the woman, but she does sound really fucking stupid. She found out about the affair when her husband left the tell-tale signs, good work so far. She finds them in a hotel together and confronts them, telling the harlot that she's married to the man and they have kids. Then, from the article: "she confronted her husband. She says he told her he wouldn't actually go through with the wedding." And she ate it right up. It's kind of hard to feel bad for her. Now he's run away to Florida with the kids and the only time she sees them is on his facebook page with their new mum.

That's why you should stick to the booty call, which now apparently has scientific significance. In my experience (don't read this mom; dad, I hope this finally will make you proud of me), the booty call is more a side effect of alcohol or drought conditions, made at unreal times of the deep, dark night. A friends with benefits situation is more akin to what they speak of in the article, where, "The booty call relationship gives the guy easy access to sex, and gives the woman a steady partner.” I'd agree that FWB gives that steady partner, while a booty call can be very flakey and inconsisent, depending on how often the guy drinks or strikes out with other, more suitable mates. I guess scientists are like parents, and lag on the lingo. For some perspective, hollywood usually lags behind the curve by a few years, and Booty Call with Jamie Foxx came out over a decade ago. 

Good dog, Lassie: Dog Bites Man... and saves his life. I don't know what's more incredible, the fact that he was drunk after only a 6 pack and 2 margaritas (lightweight!), or the fact that he was so drunk that he didn't feel the dog biting off his infected toe. Or the fact that he didn't seem to think it was a problem that his toe was infected to a life threatening degree. They say drinking alcohol impairs judgement, but what does it do to those who have no judgement to begin with? Although I do agree with his self-treatment plan. Alcohol is a sterilizer, and thus, kills bacteria. Drinking is most effective when you are sick, or at risk of falling ill. Realistically, cancer patients should be drinking and partying, not sitting around smoking weed like a bunch of hippies. Or at least they should smoke while they drink. 

Exit question: Please let me know in the comments if you think I should continue my blog as I have been doing it, or write a couple posts throughout the day, each one devoted to it's own topic so that the blog is not all over the place talking about sex, robots, terrizm, space, and sex robots in space all in one post.

I'll Take the Kilted Ermine on the Rocks

Yesterday I had some news on Alvin Greene, the awesome Democratic Senate candidate from South Carolina. Today, I have news about the next Governor of Tennessee (I hope). Tennessee Republicans, not wanting to be outdone by S.C. Democrats, have put forth a gubernatorial candidate that makes Alvin Greene look like Stephen Hawking... well, maybe just Stephen hawKing. I love American politics sometimes... If my old roommate Jackson is reading this, bless your home state buddy.

If he somehow loses the primary, god forbid, I'd advise him to try out for the role of Col. Mustard in the inevitable Clue remake. Basil Marceaux, you are awesome.

And for today's winner of "Creepiest Thing You've Ever Seen", July 2010 edition, we have Thailand! I know the site is in Japanese, but the bakery in question is located in Thailand. If you're fat and trying to lose the weight, click the link and you'll never want to eat carbs again. Hell, you might not ever want to eat meat again either.

Also creepy: Taxidermied rodents used as beer bottles. Actually it's not really creepy, it's kinda cute. The beer inside packs a punch too, coming in at a wimpy 55% alcohol content. I don't know which one I'd go for, the squirrel wearing the tophat or the ermine wearing a kilt. Tough call.

Cheat on your girl, it's all your fault. Your girl cheats on you, it's all your fault. Tell me something I don't know. Think that's hypocrisy? How about John Kerry parking his boat in Rhode Island so he doesn't have to pay Mass taxes on it? The Boston Herald ran a front page story on it, and JWF (who I linked to above) says it all, so I need not put in my two cents. In summation, this is a guy who votes to raise taxes, bitches when people complain about paying the taxes, and then he finds loopholes to exempt himself from paying said taxes that he helped enact.

Never forget that many Republicans are barking up the populist tree now that it's politically expedient, but in reality they're just as bad as the Democrats when it comes to being fiscally responsible. Paul Ryan (R - Wisconsin) asks, "Why isn't the GOP discussing my roadmap?" Paul Ryan, perhaps the only Republican who has offered a serious, thought-out plan to get this country out of debt, is having a tough time selling his plan even to his fellow republicans. This is the same guy who Obama seemed to have respect for, despite his tough questions during the healthcare debate. Ryan backs up his plans with hard numbers and seems to know how to actually budget (something Congress can't do for shit). Why hasn't the GOP been pushing for this sort of thing? They hate cutting spending just as much as the Democrats, that's why.

When the government has to make cuts, they always talk about the firemen, cops and teachers who are going to lose their jobs. G-d forbid they cut spending on, gee, I dunno, $850,000 statues. Always remember, no matter what they're spending money on, if you try to cut their budgets, its the firemen who go out the window, not the artwork.

Hey Eric Holder, here's your honest conversation on race from James Webb (D - Virginia). I always wondered why hispanics and other choice ethnicities recieved affirmative action, when part of its alleged purpose was to help right some of the wrongs that uniquely plagued blacks in America. Jim Webb's op-ed in the WSJ is pretty thoughtful and brief, I encourage you to check it out.

Times are hard, in this economy, even powerful Sith Lords are out of work. Darth Vader has stooped to robbing banks, presumably to help pay for his exorbitant healthcare bills (that life-support suit costs a lot to maintain). I guess the Emperor has axed healthcare benefits to his employees now that Obama passed healthcare. Wait until he founds out he has twins to support (they will be on his plan until they turn 26, right?), he's really gonna lash out.

Missouri women learn the hard way about the dangers of drinking and dining and ditching. If you're going to steal, it's smartest not to leave personal identification on the property of the people who you stole from. Next time you drink and decide to dine and ditch, you'd be smarter to go through the Drive-Thru. **Note, I am not endorsing petty theft or drunk driving**

Months ago, I wrote about employees at the SEC watching porn on the job. Seems like the feds are cracking down harder now, and I may be busted: The Federal Porn Initiative Moves to the Pentagon, Intel Community. From that report, it seems like they're only cracking down on the people who looked at illegal porn such as child porn, so I should be safe this time around. If you see reports about them nabbing servicemen who were looking at Fat Tranny Midget Amputee Interspecies porn, well, don't bother checking the site for updates because that's probably me. Ed seems to take this a little bit more seriously than I do, but that's because I know that watching porn at work improves morale, and good cheese work comes from happy cows military.

I didn't like it much when I visited, but perhaps it's time for a second look at L.A.? Reader and good friend Timmy Caps sends this picture from the City of Angels.

Have a good weekend!

Print Me A Steak, Rare, With a Side of Mashed Taters

I wrote about NASA's new mission a few days ago (Muslim outreach if you don't recall) and I have some images of their newest photos that you can find here. I'll post the first one for you to get a taste of what the new NASA mission looks like.

I especially think that last one will soften their hearts, or unclench their fists as Obama would say. People love it when you compliment their cooking, so good job NASA!

Whenever I go home on leave, the popular line of the vacation goes something like this, "Dude, whatdya mean there's a 15 minute wait for a table? You're a fucking hero man!" My friends like to use the tongue-in-cheek "You're a hero" line all the time, and to be honest I started referring to myself as a hero or national treasure. It's funny to say, especially given that I was still in training when they started calling me a hero, but we all used appropriate dosage of sarcasm and of course, I don't actually think I'm a hero (but heroes never do, do they?). Why am I bringing this up? Some asshat retired Lt. Col. at the LA Times wrote an article headlined: Every soldier a hero? Hardly. I'm tempted to stay silent on this, as he only mentions soldiers (i.e., ARMY) but I assume he's just using a blanket term and means anybody in the U.S. Armed Services. I understand where the retired Lt. Col. is coming from, I really do. I know plenty of shitbags in the service who fuck around and don't give a rip about Alabama the U.S.. Personally, part of the reason I joined the service was for personal gain; The Navy would give me something I wanted (a job, training, education) and in return, I'd trade in 6 years of my life for them to do whatever the hell they want with. I still think I made the right decision, it was a fair trade, and though I'm not sure I'll re-enlist, the possibility exists for sure. So am I a hero? I don't think so. But what sir seems to gloss over is that when it comes down to it, everybody in the service is there because they volunteered, and maybe it's not a sacrifice for officers like him (but I do believe officers sacrifice at least as much), but it counts for something. Suppose you're a supply officer and your specialty is budgeting for the chow-hall. Shit hits the fan, you're still going to get a rifle and going to fight, whether you believe in the war or not. What I'm saying is not that everybody in the military is a hero, because that'd be false. What I am saying is that I find nothing objectionable about civilians regarding the military as a heroic institution, full of brave young men and women. Because as we say in the military, "perception is reality."

In related news, the Washington Times poses the important questions: Will fart fiction gets boys to read? If the Washington Times read my blog, they'd have seen the tattoo that I posted yesterday proclaiming reeding to be faggotry.

Welcome to the future: Digital Food Printer Creates Nutritious Meals. I wonder, will it be able to make a sandwich on nice Italian bread with prosciutto di parma, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, balsamic vinaigrette, and perhaps some assorted greens? If it can't do that, I don't have much use for it. On the serious, while that machine sounds pretty cool, I enjoy cooking as a hobby so I'm not sure it'll ever completely replace me in the kitchen, although I am lazy to cook sometimes...

I don't recall if I ever wrote about Alvin Greene in the past, but I'm sure some of you have heard of him by now. He's the democratic senate candidate in S.C. that nobody had heard of until he unexpectedly won the democratic primary. I haven't written about him, mostly because it's too easy, but also because I think it's a little sad and I feel bad for the guy. I mean, he seems genuinely mentally retarded, and I don't mean that in the, "Hey, quit being retarded" derogatory sense of the word. I mean I think he's actually got mental problems, mainly retardation. Like most retards (see Sean Penn, I Am Sam), he provides endless wells of humor, but like I said, I'd feel bad making fun of him for it. When I read about him today, however, I knew that I finally had to write about it. This is because he said he didn't get promoted because, and I quote, "I’m telling you who they promote: the terrorists and the communists. This is why we need to overhaul the military and get these people out." To which Allah hilariously wrote, "Which, of course, is a vile lie. It’s only terrorists who occasionally get promoted." Alvin Greene sounds like me, and for that he gets my blogs official endorsement. Also, he showed porn to an 18 year old girl on a college campus and lives with his parents. Can't help but love the guy, he really is awesome and amusing to no end.

Lefties and terrizts Archaeologists continue to use flag feature to silence dissent. This is just another example of a common tactic used against right-leaning blogs where people who disagree with the blogs will flag them for inappropriate content. Google and Youtube both have automated systems that take down the content once it's been flagged and thus, the content is squashed at least temporarily. At the same time as this happens, blogs and videos by literal terrizt groups are open and hosted just fine on youtube and google. Put simply: If you host a video condemning radical islamic terrizm archaeology, your video will be taken down for offensive content, but if you show literal beheadings and attacks on Americans and Israelis, you are left alone. If you don't believe me, feel free to take a look at the two videos at the bottom of the page I just linked to. I am not a fan of Michelle Malkin, but there's no doubt she's right in this case; watch the videos yourself.

Speaking of censorship, the most depraved example I have ever seen of censorship is being employed in Palestine against the legendary Euro-disco group, Boney M. You know, the ones that sing "Daddy Cool" and "The Rivers of Babylon" which was covered by Sublime. Well looks like they won't be singing "The Rivers of Babylon" in Ramallah, for fear of offending the archaeology loving people of the West Bank. Note: Boney M. isn't censoring themselves, they were asked by management NOT to sing the song and they are disappointed by that decision.

And you thought craigslist was just for the hookers in casual encounters: Patient, resourceful 17 year old makes only 14 trades on craigslist to acquire a Porsche.

Worst 11 Year Old Evah?: Jessica Slaughter uses language that the 10 year old from Kick-Ass would be shocked by (not really though). Actually, they're about on par, only that one is fictional and the other is real. The first link is the original video, here comes the good stuff with her dad who looks like Sam Elliot but sounds like Randy Savage threatening the haters. From the dad, "Consequences will never be the same!" What does that even mean?

Do Japanese and Korean robots have slanty eyes and can they pronounce the letter L? I ask this because 'Mrrkin robots do not exist in the same capacity, sadly. Maybe we don't build robots like they do because we're tired of fighting them after the war in the Matrix and the Terminator series...

Some Jew reminds followers of the Sherrod case of the importance of reading. I still feel a little bit used and misled by Andrew Breitbart and his video of Sherrod speaking to the NAACP, but perhaps it's my own fault for being misled. Apparently, the article he wrote that accompanied the video did not focus on Sherrod, nor call for her to be punished. Rather, the focus was on the audience who seemingly agreed with her past racist actions. Point well taken, Jew, but I still feel used.

I appreciate comments in the comments section. I know lots of random people read this, because sometimes somebody I haven't seen in ages will talk to me and remark on how they liked a post. Don't be shy with the comments section, comments are appreciated. Alright, well I'd write more, but looking at my traffic over the last few days, I have realized that you all don't give a rip about what I write, you just check in whenever I have pictures of hotties in bikinis... I guess I'll indulge you all, spoiled punks.

Hell yeah, 'Mrrrka! YEEEEEHAW! 

There is a G-d, and He Likes Boobs and Booze

Best day evah? Maybe not, but best 3 news items evah for sure.

There is a G-d: Female breasts are getting bigger! Heres a picture to prove it (Yes, that's Yolanda, Saffron, Bridget, or that chick from Mad Men if you don't watch Firefly).

 

The aforementioned G-d also likes to party: Alcohol is healthy for you!

The Chosen People: Jews have 20% more sex than Catholics and Protestants, booyah! Also, alcoholics (aka healthy people, see above link) get laid a lot more than people who don't drink.

The Chosen People? Maybe chosen to be hated and killed... Lee Smith writes on Mainstreaming Hate, which refers more specifically to the mainstreaming of anti-semitism. It rolls around every so often, the naive gunless jews with poor memories usually get murdered, and the smart ones live on to make the race more pure and intelligent. JEW POWER! Sorry, I got a little overboard there, you gentiles are cool, srsly. I am not a jewish supremacist, but no for real we're chosen, suck it.

I wrote about how I think racism is bad, and Greg Gutfeld of Redeye offers his input (sounds pretty ridiculous after I literally just wrote, "JEW POWER" and told non-jews to suck it, but my tongue was firmly in my cheek and I think you all know). He says a lot of what I said yesterday, mostly, and his post is brief and humorous, so check it out. The better post about the whole NAACP thing is by Cornell Law Prof. William Jacobson of "Legal Insurrection." Prof. Jacobson says:

"In context, Sherrod at worst was a former racist who had realized the error of her ways... Media Matters and Think Progress, the ultimate out-of-context word and phrase manipulators, are hot on the case because Shirley Sherrod was taken out of context.

So how about some context for the handful (out of many millions) of people who have attended Tea Party rallies carrying racist signs?

How about considering that some of the people were not really Tea Party supporters but plants by the opposition designed to create controversy? Or that some of the photos were not even at Tea Party rallies? Or that some of the people were kicked out of the Tea Party movement? Or that some of the accusations of racist words being shouted are denied and the videos show otherwise? Or that numerous blacks who are active in the Tea Party movement deny that there is widespread racism? Or that the Tea Party philosophy of limited government and free enterprise is completely race neutral?"

The other day on the news, the anchor was talking about the Tea Party being racist, and used posters of Obama with the Hitler mustache as proof. Those posters are obviously retarded and historically illiterate, but more incredibly, I was shocked at the scientific breakthrough that I have never heard of til just that day. Apparently, this anchor had warped through the time-space continuum and jumped into the future, completely missing 8 years of Bushitler displays around the country. A quick google search would bring her up to date, and I literally just clicked the first link to find a decent record of some high profile Bushitler peeps. BTW, that site only goes up to 2005, so keep that in mind as well. Comparing Obama to Hitler is not racist, it's just retarded.

Comparing Obama to Bush is bad (for Obama fans) because generally, Obama has been worse than Bush on the few things Bush actually did well, for example as the NYT (?!?!!! THE NYT!) points out, Bush was awesome on AIDS relief in Africa. Things that Bush did bad, on the other hand, are consistently continued by Obama, or even escalated (see government ordered hit on U.S. citizen). Still waiting for DADT to get repealed so I can come out of the closet (just kidding, Mom). Too bad Obama's worse for gay rights than Dick Cheney. Then again, why should Obama throw them a bone when the gay community is tucked into his pocket, or at least the pocket of the democrat identity politicians. Obama's way worse on spending than the terrible Republicans were while Bush was in office, but let's not quickly forget how terrible they were. 

If you didn't think the prospect of drowning sucks enough as it is, after reading this you'll really be terrified. Drowning and suffocating are two of the scariest things to me, but then again it doesn't take much to scare me (moths, scary movies, no lights on at night, garages, basements, nighttime, Carrot Top).

A Word of Thanks to Four Black Men and a Gun... awesome article by Marcus Cole, a black guy from the hood who moved to a white neighborhood and had REAL racists act violently towards his family. His father and he understand that the cops aren't always there to save you, that the government can't be there 24/7 to ensure your safety, and that the second amendment is an invaluable right that offers the freedom to defend oneself. Law enforcement, is generally a necessary force for good that does a lot of work to protect the safety of our countrymen, but reality dictates that they are not superhuman defenders, and there sometimes is a need to defend oneself when the cops can't be there. 

Terrizt Archaeologist who threatened the South Park creators arrested on terrorism charges. What a jerk.. these guys are serious, and they want to harm us, it's not harmless, cute, jihad talk.

Some more Journolist stuff:

• Journolisters call Tea Party fascist, then propose idea to have the government force Fox News to stop broadcasting... the irony apparently goes over their heads. More historical illiteracy I guess.
• Ed Morrissey provides his input on the above mentioned, and I think he puts it well.
• Glenn has more at Instapundit.
• Journolister wishes death upon Rush Limbaugh, says if she saw him having a heart attack she'd stand by watching and laughing. Rush responds.

Mediocre British chick (I give her 5 out of 10, and pretty much any girl who's not obese gets that these days) publicly announces that she's the largest whore of all time (I think empowered is the term she used), likely has diseases. The money quote: "Now all I want to do is settle down. I just hope I haven't put men off." Aww, don't worry babe, I'm sure there's some guy out there that wants Syphilis; perhaps some die-hard Al Capone impersonator...

Reader and BFF Guiseppe Fratelli sent me this picture of the tattoo I should get (it even has my name in it!). Whatdy'all think? Is it 'Mrrrkin enough for me?

 

Although reeding is for faggots, you're not gay if you reed my site, because it's not a book, and the truth is that books are for nerds, my site is cool.
