...and the Number One Casting Choice Which Would Make a Better Batman Than Ben Affleck...

1. This spatula:

"I'm Batman"

Counterpoint: LauraW, who is technically insane, continues to plump for Affleck.

I don't think you really understand how dangerously cute Affleck is when he's grinning. He's deadly.

His emotional range is vast, and starts from 'bemused lip-twist' all the way through 'sexy grin' and goes wayyy past 'tender beaming,' which pierces my heart like a penis made of cute smiles, but not in a way that actually harms me by disrupting my cardiovascular system.

He's gonna own this role.

Who knew LauraW had the love that dare not speak its name? The love of Ben Affleck?

Everyone's dirty secrets are coming out now. The NSA is almost irrelevant.

This is just so friggin' stupid. Germany to add third gender option to birth certificates. The third gender is "blank" so their precious little child can pick it later. Why stop with leaving the sex of your baby blank? How about leaving race blank, especially if you are bi-racial? Hell, don't even give them a name. Let them pick that too. More people wish they could've picked their names than wish they could've been the opposite sex. more...

This report and footage seems pretty good.

The video is a bit more telling, although not definitive, than some of the other stuff I've seen that looked more like Paliwood productions.

Some of the victims in that BBC video do seem a bit cyanotic, and one guy is shown having muscle spasms...those are symptoms of a nerve agent.

There's also a video floating around of some doctor talking about using up thousands of doses of atropine to treat. Atropine is a standard nerve agent treatment. Everyone in the US military gets training on its use in BCT during the ABC weapons training.

aside from chem-weapons, there's other stuff that can ruin your day. Have you checked your spare tire lately? Is it actually inflated, or is it flat? Can you find that locking lugnut adapter gizmo for the wrench? Do you have a working flashlight in your ride, or are its batteries dead?

This item about accidental prosperity in the news dump is actually pretty good and warrants a closer look than just a bullet point. While it nominally talks about America, the advances of the past 250 years were largely planet wide (in varying degrees). The real bump in American prosperity seen in the 50's and 60's was IMO due to the "last man standing" effect that fell out of WWII. America had a few decades of mostly unchallenged, other than by the Soviets, worldwide industrial supremacy. But, even that Soviet challenge was a driver of innovation and technological advance.

Happy Friday.

Sen. Coburn called for a constitutional convention to consider amendments to the U.S. Constitution a la Mark Levin's Liberty Amendments, which are described here. Sounds good to me, though I prefer (mostly) Randy Barnett's proposed Bill of Federalism than Levin's version. There's some overlap between the two, but Barnett's better on several important things.

Obama's college proposals won't do a thing to control costs.

And, another movie trailer. more...

Oprah: You Are All Racists

Even if you don't think racist thoughts or do racist things, Oprah is like a racial Santa Claus who knows when you've been a naughty racist.

Cooper asked, "It's amazing to me how people from different backgrounds see this." He then talked about a juror "who did not understand, did not feel linked to Trayvon Martin, felt connected to George Zimmerman in a way, but not Trayvon Martin, she felt race was not part of this case at all." Oprah couldn't wait to jump in, blurting, "People don't feel it's race because people don't call it race... A lot of people think if they think they're not using the n-word themselves, they physically aren't using the n-word themselves, and do not harbor ill will towards black people that it's not racist. But to me it's ridiculous to look at that case and not to think that race was involved."

Oh and any humor about Obama is ipso facto racial humor as Mr. Rodeo Clown found out the hard way. Because according to professional clown, Judy Quest, he broke the Clown Code:

This mean [sic] no sexual or racial humor. The joke always needs to be on us and never on an audience member. If someone is offended or made the "victim" of a joke, it is totally against what the clown community would consider funny. . . .

But what did Tuffy the clown really do? He simply put on a mask of Obama (who wasn't even in the audience anyway) and made fun of him in a way that could have applied to pretty much any politician - no matter how melanin-challenged. So clearly it's racist.

In Quest's world review, any mention of or reference to Obama, even without any mention of his race or any use of traditional negative stereotypes about blacks,  is ipso facto racial and, therefore, racist.  In other words, Obama, just by being, is racist.

Oh let's put off the video metaphor for now, because it's a real closer.

New Mexico's Supreme Court rules that people must set aside their religion in order to avoid creating the slightest inconvenience for gay people. It calls this "the price of citizenship."

The court said that Elaine Huguenin, the photographer, had discriminated against gay customers for not photographing their weddings, even though she had said she would be happy to take their pictures in different contexts. The court also refused any differentiation whatsoever between homosexual and heterosexual conduct under the law, despite the fact that same-sex marriage is not licensed in the state of New Mexico. Justice Edward Chavez wrote, “The difficulty in distinguishing between status and conduct in the context of sexual orientation discrimination is that people may base their judgment about an individual's sexual orientation on the individual's conduct. To allow discrimination based on conduct so closely correlated with sexual orientation would severely undermine the purpose of the NMHRA." In other words, orientation and conduct are so intertwined that to discriminate against activity would be to discriminate against the person -- an odd line of logic, given that it would then follow that discriminating against religious activity would constitute discrimination on the basis of religion, making the court's logic self-defeating.

Justice Richard Bosson wrote, in concurrence, that the Huguenins are “compelled by law to compromise the very religious beliefs that inspire their lives.” He concluded, “The Huguenins are free to think, to say, to believe, as they wish; they may pray to the God of their choice and follow those commandments in their personal lives wherever they lead. The Constitution protects the Huguenins in that respect and much more. But there is a price, one that we all have to pay somewhere in our civic life.” That “compromise,” he wrote, “is part of the glue that holds us together as a nation, the tolerance that lubricates the varied moving parts of us as a people. That sense of respect we owe others, whether or not we believe as they do, illuminates this country, setting it apart from the discord that afflicts much of the rest of the world. In short, I would say to the Huguenins, with the utmost respect: it is the price of citizenship.”

Yeah, they could compromise their religious beliefs, or, you know, the gay couple could simply find another photographer. No, by all means, let's use the power of the state to reach as deeply as possible into people's lives instead of just telling the gay couple to "Look online for ten minutes and find someone else."

Obama's NSA review panel is impressing experts due to its composition of skeptics, outsiders, conservatives, and libertarians.

Nah I'm just kidding, it's stuffed to the gills with Obama's cronies and employees.

Gee, I wonder if they'll come back with a report damaging to Obama, one that requires him to make any difficult changes at all, or if they'll just say, "Needs some work but looks PRETTY GREAT!!! (Boss!!!)"

Yeah I wonder about such things.

VDH, America the Trivial.

The media continues not noticing that Chris Lane was killed in a racially-motivated murder:

And three days before what police call the indiscriminate shooting, the suspect, 15-year-old James Edwards Jr., tweeted, “With my n****s when it’s time to start taken life’s.”

Back in April, he tweeted, “90% of white ppl (people) are nasty. #HATE THEM.”

They're also missing the possible gangland initiation angle, Bryan Preston reports.

And on that subject, Time Magazine, a magazine of the Politically Correct Goonsquad Left, calls the part of town Chris Lane ventured into "the grittier part of town."

Whatever could they mean by that? Well what they mean is "black and poor," but they'd crucify anyone else who seemed to mean that.

I mean, anyone not in the media, Democratic Party, or New Class.

(Taranto of the WSJ caught this one and noted it in a tweet. I didn't see Time respond as to what they meant.)

And then there's this newest horror that we won't be discussing in the National Discussion on Race.

And all three networks finally devote serious time to bringing the public up to speed on the recent White House scandals.

Now, via @doreenhdickson and @chicksonright, the Video Metaphor for the Left. Enjoy! more...
