The Crazy Manifesto Of A Murderous Scumbag

If this is legit, and it’s still way early, obviously, he was a total loon

Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. Yet, the political “representatives” (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the “terrible health care problem”. It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in.

And then he goes after religion

My introduction to the real American nightmare starts back in the early ‘80s. Unfortunately after more than 16 years of school, somewhere along the line I picked up the absurd, pompous notion that I could read and understand plain English. Some friends introduced me to a group of people who were having ‘tax code’ readings and discussions. In particular, zeroed in on a section relating to the wonderful “exemptions” that make institutions like the vulgar, corrupt Catholic Church so incredibly wealthy. We carefully studied the law (with the help of some of the “best”, high-paid, experienced tax lawyers in the business), and then began to do exactly what the “big boys” were doing (except that we weren’t steeling from our congregation or lying to the government about our massive profits in the name of God). We took a great deal of care to make it all visible, following all of the rules, exactly the way the law said it was to be done.

The intent of this exercise and our efforts was to bring about a much-needed re-evaluation of the laws that allow the monsters of organized religion to make such a mockery of people who earn an honest living. However, this is where I learned that there are two “interpretations” for every law; one for the very rich, and one for the rest of us… Oh, and the monsters are the very ones making and enforcing the laws; the inquisition is still alive and well today in this country.

He’s not “right” or “left”; he’s Complete Grade-A insanity.

I just pray he didn’t kill many people today.

Update: As THS pointed out to me, Drew at Ace’s says it best:

I really wish assholes like this would simply go down to their basements and blow their heads off.

Maybe they don’t want to upset their moms or something.

2.7 Seconds

That’s all it took for the 7th-ranked Woman’s Downhill skier in the world to have her Olympics come to an end.

Does it make me a bad person when I admit I laughed at the video?

Oh, If It Only Came In a Box!

Right, Bingley?

Sort of the John Mayer of wines – it’s kind of offensive, but for some strange reason people still like it.

Phony “Green” Zamboni

…turns ice to macaroni!

The electric Zambonis — part of Canada’s attempt at a green Vancouver Olympics — failed multiple times this evening, causing a massive delay in in the middle of the Men’s 500-meter speedskating event…

…With speeds of up to 40 MPH reached on the ice, the rutted and uneven surface was considered too dangerous to skate on…

Might as well have used a pony or a drunk named Mahoney!
An irate Frank ZAMBONI calls “Baloney!” on the phonies.

Frank J. Zamboni & Co. says the leaky ice-cleaning machines at the Vancouver Winter Olympics has created confusion over its brand.

“It was widely reported that these machines were Zamboni machines, which in fact they were not,” Zamboni said in a statement today, adding it’s “deeply concerned” about the “controversy.”

Frank’s attitude is stoney chiding weak “green” cronies.

Gordon Brown Is No Maggie Thatcher

And don’t you think for a moment that the Argentines don’t know it

Argentina has warned Britain it ‘shouldn’t be complacent’ and that it would defend its sovereignty in the territorial dispute off the Falkland Islands.

However, Buenos Aires insisted it did did not mean a repeat of the 1982 Falklands War.

The South American country has said it will take its dispute over plans by UK firms to explore oil off the islands to the United Nations. It has announced new controls on ships heading to the islands as a result of the plans to drill for oil.

I don’t see the will or frankly the ability of Gordon Brown to do anything if the Argentines want to try again to take the Falklands.

EU To Greece: You? Sovereign? Surely You Jest.

Let’s see how many strikes this causes

The council of EU finance ministers said Athens must comply with austerity demands by March 16 or lose control over its own tax and spend policies altogether. It if fails to do so, the EU will itself impose cuts under the draconian Article 126.9 of the Lisbon Treaty in what would amount to economic suzerainty.

While the symbolic move to suspend Greece of its voting rights at one meeting makes no practical difference, it marks a constitutional watershed and represents a crushing loss of sovereignty.

This is what happens when politicians sign away their country’s, and people’s, rights.

Look, the Greek politicians and people have completely screwed their economy…and now they may have someone else to blame for the medicine they’ll have to swallow.

This could get very ugly.

Ebola in Air Force Boot Camp ~ Chapter 13

This will only be hilarious to those Swillers who’ve been through/had someone close go through ANY of our military boot camps and know what you know, but it IS hilarious…right after you wince a little. (And I’d like to have a word with you, Real JeffS, as soon as I finish this…)

…Nearly forgot. Two weeks ago JeffS sent me a HUGE box of candy and porn cards. It was funny as hell! TI’s told me to kick his ass. I got off because I’d already told them I was a mil brat and had a bunch of military friends. How ironic is that?

Wonderful to have friends, isn’t it?

I’m Sorry. It’s Just That This Guy Is SUCH a Complete

I can’t stomach him anymore.

Swilling Regulars Know of This Household’s Emotional Attachment to Branagh’s “Henry V”

…and so will understand how tickled I was to read this link from Instapundit. I remember that performance like it was yesterday! Ebola, major dad and myself recognized the music from the first three beats and ~ besides being shocked he could use something so new ~ cheered even more so for Paul Wylie to triumph. And triumph he did.

However. Watching Olympic skating this week and, now with this flashback, I have had one heartfelt, long held and ~ admittedly ~ uncharitable opinion confirmed and reconfirmed:

Scott Hamilton needs to gulp a big, wet, “thirsty-two ouncer” of STFU.

Immediately.

A Wise Man

…has spoken.

A peppy Scottish terrier known as Sadie was crowned the nation’s top dog on Tuesday, winning Best in Show at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club championship.

Beau had been on the couch and ready in anticipation of this happy event for hours before the broadcast…

(major dad had a helluva time getting the remote away from him)
Given the obvious Scottie bias, reaction in casa de major dad was muted at first, thanks to the stunning conclusion.

Once they were all assured it was truly “for reals”, a jubilant cookie time ensued, with raucous cheers of “Sadie!” disturbing the peace until well after midnight.

Dreams DO come true.

You Know, If I Read This As The Plot Of A Book…

I’d say “no way.”

Way

The Orange County jury on Tuesday found 45-year-old Tanya Nelson guilty of masterminding the murders of Ha “Jade” Smith and Anita Vo five years ago.

Prosecutors say Nelson hired Smith, a popular fortuneteller in the Vietnamese community, to bring her ex-lover back. When the soothsayer told Nelson she couldn’t change reality, she became upset and plotted to drive across the country to kill her.

Nelson is accused of luring her accomplice Phillipe Zamora into the murder scheme by promising to fix him up with gay sex partners wearing unicorn costumes and performing lewd acts inspired by the “Up With People!” soundtrack.

I guess the Moral of The Story is that if you hang up your shingle as a fortune teller than by god you’d better be able to alter reality.

Or maybe that drugs during pregnancy may cause your kids to turn out really really bad.

The Condo Made-a Stone-a

…had to be a pretty miserable place. “Dancing by the Nile” was a pipe dream.

…The newest CAT scans and DNA tests revealed a pharaoh weakened by congenital illnesses finally done in by complications from the broken leg aggravated by severe brain malaria. The team said it isolated DNA of the malaria parasite — the oldest such discovery.

“A sudden leg fracture possibly introduced by a fall might have resulted in a life threatening condition when a malaria infection occurred,” concluded the article in the Journal of the American Medical Association. “Tutankhamun had multiple disorders… He might be envisioned as a young but frail king who needed canes to walk.”

Like his father, Tutankhamun had a cleft palate. He also had a club foot, like his grandfather, and suffered from Kohler’s disease in which lack of blood flow was slowly destroying the bones of his left foot.

Sometimes the whole “king” thing is overrated.

HAPPY MARDI GRAS !!!!

Y’all be careful out there.

I think it’s perfect.

Lautenberg Taken To Hospital

He fell at home evidently

U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg was taken by ambulance from his Cliffside Park condo Monday night after suffering a fall, a spokesman said.

The spokesman, Caley Gray, said Lautenberg was conscious when he was taken to an area hospital. He said he did not know if the 86-year-old senator fell in the apartment, or if he suffered any serious injuries.

Gray initially said Lautenberg was taken to the hospital as a precaution, and no further details were immediately available.

Get better, Senator.

I want you to retire, and soon, but not like this.

AGW’s Has Gone Down Quicker Than Tiger

This post at Ace’s has some simply amazing statements from Dr. Hide The Decline.

We used to always joke that “if the facts don’t fit your theory then change the facts.”

So they did.

Good god.

DAMMIT!!! I Can’t Go

…and it sounds like it’s gonna be a party.

…Details involve bras, string, knuckle-cracking, romantic love, dancing, and rectal objects.

So There They Were, ALL Out On the Beach, All Dressed in Black

…(To represent OIL spills, you know.)
…(Well, judging from the pic, I guess a couple didn’t get the word.)
…everybody holding hands and protesting the very THOUGHT of drilling in the Gulf.

During the peaceful gathering, attendees chatted quietly, hair dancing in the stiff breeze.

And they all drove out there.

I’ll bet they’ve had some sort of heat that didn’t start with “solar” this winter, too.

Fold this column up and lay it next to your napkin the next time you have Al Gore or his ilk to dine. It should make interesting after-dinner conversation.

Needless to say, Hitler’s pissed.
