— Dave in Texas That is a boatload of indulgences.
However Gaia is not sufficiently appeased, so she's going to kick some ass in the northeast this weekend.
Before Twitter got hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army last night (handy email address in the logo) I saw ace mention that he and his brother have decided it'd be a good idea to start making up awards to give to Obama in order to distract him for a while. This idea has the virtue of simplicity and high likelihood of success, in that it appeals to his 8-lanes wide streak of narcissism. I suggest the next major award celebrate his unwavering commitment to the little guy getting screwed over by the credit card companies, the 2010 Reduced Lines of Credit and Lifetime Write-Off Achievement Award.
He's more than earned it.
So let's come up with some awards. What the hell, it's FiAF and I know you weren't planning on doing any work today.

Gaia is a giant bitch. First she got one of her sons to castrate her consort with a giant scythe and then she nurtured her nearly-devoured grandson, who in turn, got nearly all the Titans locked up in Tartarus after the Great War.
I can't wait to see her antics in GoW3.
And then there's all the stuff that the Earth has done to humans and animals...

The "Let Me Be Clear" and the "Make No Mistake" can't be awarded by the same committee, can they? At least one has to be [52%] People's Choice.
And another thing. Why don't other prominent explosives inventors have awards? There's no Wilbrand Peace Prize for TNT, no Vieille for smokeless powder, there's a Fermi Prize but no Oppenheimer. It's...it's...igNobel.

Lets give them that, for a small fee (say 1/2 a reasonable royalty of 20% net) and in exchange the west will pay them a trillion dollars for every 1 deg C that the world climate rises.

This brings a new meaning to “New World Order” …
“This is not a climate-change negotiation,” said Janos Pasztor, director of the U.N. secretary-general’s climate-change support team. “It’s about something much more fundamental. It’s about economic strength.” Countries, he added, “just have to slug it out.”
Frankly, this is now sounding more like a negotiation on setting a World Industrial Plan with climate change as a pretext. More or less locking in industrial output and market share globally. Given the the two largest up and coming industrial countries, China and India, are trying to opt out, it seems pointless if at least the underlying pretext has no validity. It seems that the EU (and I guess the US) thought they could sucker them in, but these folks are no fools.
Time will tell, but if there is an agreement .. were China & Russia just playing the part of “bad cop” while the US & EU played “good cop” in an attempt to get the CRU e-mails out there .. making it look like the “global consensus” was falling apart, so the “developing” nations would grab a hold on any money that may be offered, believing that if AGW is eventually “debunked” that they could keep the money anyway and walk away from the agreement. But since this is really a World Industrial Plan, they really don’t get to walk away.
I keep trying to imagine what happens as 2nd and 3rd world countries realize that they have been dupped or mislead or just plain negotiated badly. We are talking trade wars, the likes of which have not occurred in over a century, and that means quite possibly real wars as well. Using a phony pretext, like AGW, will only make this possible outcome even more likely.

COPENHAGEN — A visibly angry Barack Obama
threw down the gauntlet at China and other developing nations Friday,
declaring that the time has come "not to talk but to act" on climate change.
Emerging from a multinational meeting boycotted by Chinese Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Obama warned delegates that U.S. offers of funding for poor nations would remain on the table “if and only if” developing nations, including China, agreed to international monitoring of their greenhouse gas emissions.
So the infant is having a hissy fit because everyone won't just kiss his ass and blindly obey him like the US media.
Did Barry bow to Wen?

The Medal of Honor for Obama's bravery in facing down the left-most wing of his party and sending, after months and months of hemming and hawing and delaying tactics, 3/4s of the troops the general he appointed to command in Afghanistan requested.
Truly unprecedented.

It's even better in that The Precedent must be the first recipient of the award named after him. To be true to The Precedent's twisted personality and shameless cry for attention to his pea-brain, he should probably be awarded it every year until he dies, and then some other total incompetent and retard who plays on white guilt to be given positions he should never, ever, ever be in can be awarded. Of course, affirmative action will likely have killed off the West by then.

for being the biggest piece of shit for a President we have ever seen so far, Carter came in second in the balloting.
Posted by: The Golden BM Awards Committee at December 18, 2009 06:46 AM (3IZGh)
I don't mean to get too serious on you, but conservatives respect tradition and reason, not precedent. Conservatives believe that the Constitution counts - the Constitution, itself - not precedent in rulings, which are nothing more than judges and justices trying to amend the Constitution according to their own whims. Precedent should never be judged by anything other than whether it was effective or correct. Precedents which are neither (such as Precedent Hussein) should end up on the ash-heap of history as quickly as possible and not be revisited again.

What penance does one carry out for roughing up an older gentleman?
Here's the report of Lord Monckton being roughed-up by the cops in Copenhagen from last night's ONT. [h/t Kate at SDA] And for those not in the know, here's what Lord Monckton looks and sounds like. And, no, it's not like a hippie rioter. Watch all five pages of the link--it's worth it.
Copenhagen Treaty leaked. I haven't bothered reading it as too much bullshit in the morning affects my digestion for the rest of the day.

I nominate Dear Leader for the Franklin Delano Roosevelt "Prolonging the Length and Agony of an Economic Depression" Award.
All joking aside, saw a mention of Glenn Beck last night on television that the FDIC has added 35% to its budget and 1600 extra employees. Looks like they're gearing up for the next round of bank failures.

$33 billion... Holy Gaiafucker.
Can't wait for that to go to congress. I predict a REAL landslide for conseratives.
On the downside, this will inspire Algore to write verse (ahem) in Doublespeak.

And I'm sure this time if we just pay them they'll go away and leave us alone and not come back demanding more because they've decided Obama is a pushover... right?
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: --
"We invaded you last night--we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: --
"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: --
"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!"

Awarded this day to Barack Obama for courage shown during the dekulakization of the U.S.A. and for excellence in organising and coordinating bureaucracy in combating small business and for selfless acts during the prevention of independence/excellence/growth...
Something along those lines. I'm pretty sure he'd dig it and he obviously shares the belief of so many other leftists that the U.S.S.R. is still a going concern, so no worries about him becoming suspicious about the provenance.
Hell, I'll bet we could get Putin to play along and invite Barry to Leningrad for some sort of really tacky awards ceremony. He pretty much thinks Barry is a tool too.
