1 Who is that cool looking brother Barry is sitting with? And I can't believe this but I actually miss Bush.

2 Apocalypse next month! Mark your Calenders!

3 Obama does it with more nuance and sophistication.

4 Can somebody in the LSM ask Barry if Ummmm is a word in the English language. Just curious.

5 It took a tool like Unga-bunga-banga-bonga to make George W. Bush positively statesmanlike. And, mind you, I am not fan of George W. Bush.

6

Where ya storin' all this spent fuel ya bringin' in there Obama?

(o/t wondering if the birther LTC will have standing to see the indonesian's birth certificate. His defence can use the Kenyan saying he was born there too.)

7 (OT: Home-furnishing fabrics are still hot for summerwear, ladies!  Mmmm, chintz.)

8 And after another public display of weakness, President Ahmadinejad is beating his dick like it stole his bike.

9 3 Apocalypse next month! Mark your Calenders!

Don't forget your potassium iodine tablets, buy enough for the family! And you can't have enough ammo and canned food!

Plus... G. Gordon Liddy says "buy gold."

10 Heather, after I saw that picture, what popped into my head was the Imperial officer in Star Wars Episode IV who sees Luke and Han disguised as Stormtroopers leading a cuffed Chewbacca and asks them: "Where are you taking this... thing?"

11 Samuel Adams, Have you ever emceed any Fourth of July concerts? Perhaps we have met before.

13
Michelle Obama met Margarita Zavala, the wife of President Felipe Calderon on Wednesday in her first solo trip as she sought to trumpet close ties between the neighboring countries as they try to fight trade and boost violent drug cartels.
FIFY

14

Meanwhile back on Earth...Russia is Russia, China is China, India is India, POKEESTAHN is POKEESTAHN, Israel is Israel, Iran is Iran, North Korea is the Worker's paradise, the UK is the UK and France is ready to quote Chuck Heston over their nukes.

Reality.  It's what's for dinner.

15 But the drug cartels will go away if we legalize pot and collect taxes on it.

16 This grandiose social experiment that is being conducted by what is the political (and emotional) equivalent of a 6th grade science class is going to get us all fucking killed. 

17 BOTH the short term, medium term, and long term? BOTH of them, says the smartest man on the planet!?

18 Nice Simoniz job on that guy's head. Should have had the makeup people powder it, though.

19 Okay, I'm running out the door after I send this.
Also, apologies for dumping this here, but I thought some Morons would like to see it. It's something I wrote over at "The Anchoress" in a Palin thread. Lemmee know what you think. I'll check it later. Yes it's O/T. Sorry.
-----------------------------------
The dynamics of excitement and angst regarding Palin (on the right) is not about people refusing to see her flaws. Nor is it simply showcased by Palin supporters striking back at those who "merely point them out."
Those cliches were worn out last year.

A common feature of the same, repeated "honest criticisms" of Palin is the (usually implied) THEREFORE. As in, therefore she should not run. Or, therefore she will not win. Or, therefore she is incapable. Some of the less egregious therefore's are mere spin. The worst are cynical (and poorly hidden) attempts at political sabotage. None address the obvious difficulty they are charged to overcome: Palin says what her supporters want to hear. This is a fact that matters.

Meanwhile we are to believe all of the other potential candidates, *and* their flaws, are somehow ...more acceptable. The additional magic is that these "acceptably" flawed candidates are deemed acceptable without having to match Palin's positions on the issues. They match "close enough," we are often told, despite the evidence that Palin's positions are the ones for which her massive base clamors.

Being dismissive of the obvious frustration in her supporters over the bizarre standard of perfection (that Palin is expected to exemplify) is pointless (where it is not carried to the extreme of childishness). It is exactly why the occasional honest querent can feel as though he's stumbled into a maelstrom.

But let's be realistic: few commenters, and even fewer "pundits" are truly unaware of the groundswell of support for Palin, and fewer still are as ignorant of it--especially the "why"--as the critics often pretend to be. (I'll grant that among those feigning ignorance may be found the truly ignorant. I'm not addressing the truly ignorant, here.)

Palin detractors on the right who wish to make a lasting impression need to get past the fact that Palin supporters are serious, and have studied the issues.

Make a genuine case, if you can. It shouldn't be that difficult. Bad faith accusations of "blind loyalty" don't sell. Do something original. For example, building a case around the Couric interview is as silly as dealing with the occasional Obama supporter who wants to tell you about his time on the Law Review.

Show us why Palin's time on the Oil and Gas commission didn't really give her any relevant experience.

Show us why her resignation as Governor is a problem. Just stating it carries no weight. Her supporters all know the reason why she made that choice. Count on it.

Show us why she is capable of generating such a groundswell now, but somehow won't be able to "when it counts." And don't forget how badly Reagan was dismissed by the media, by the youth, by the "intelligentsia", and by the pundits.

Bring something into the game besides ordinary doubt. Outside of a courtroom, doubt is a very weak weapon.

20 I don't get it.

21 Yes, but Bush was willing to do something constructive & offensive about this threat. What has the Bamster done, other than cut our means of defense & deprive our European allies of a nuclear shield?

22

Oh! GOOD! Johannesburg is on the radar.

Takes some of the heat off us, eh?

24 21 Yes, but Bush was willing to do something constructive & offensive about this threat. What has the Bamster done, other than cut our means of defense & deprive our European allies of a nuclear shield?

In his mind, "even the playing field".  It's not fair that the US has nukes and advanced weapon and defense technologies! 

25 Look, I donÂ’t know about yunz guys but I am sleeping so much better knowing those damn saber-rattling Canucks and Mexicans have finally turned over their nuke shit to us.

Allah bless Obama! Piss be upon him! This nuclear summit was a SUCCESS!

26 1 Who is that cool looking brother Barry is sitting with? Posted by: Samuel Adams at April 14, 2010 05:36 PM (nxUYP) Shut up, pussy. What's with all this 'bro' shit, anyway? You wanna be Super Spade or something? This guy don't wanna be your bro and I don't blame 'em. Now get your ofay paddy ass on down the road.

27 24 21 In his mind, "even the playing field".  It's not fair that the US has nukes and advanced weapon and defense technologies!

Which means Obama either doesn't believe in what he's saying, or he's going about solving this in a really lousy way.

28

Hey, how about if, in accordance with Sarah Palin's ditzy way of thinking,  Michelle Obama  could get together with the wives of all of the leaders of other countries, and then all of those gossipy women could decide and agree among themselves the best ways that they could nag their husbands to solve the world's problems as only women can solve problems? It could happen under this ditzy administration of girlie men and officious women.

And just think how much Sarah Palin's cutesy input would contribute to those discussions. Whoa, now there's a nightmarish scenario. (shudder)

29 "If there was ever a detonation in New York City, or London, or Johannesburg, the ramifications economically, politically and from a security perspective would be devastating."

Sweet holy Hiroshima, and they called that last president guy a verbal idiot. What kind of grammatical chainsaw would it take to cut through that thicket of ad lib retardation?

Johannesburg? You're grasping around for a city at risk for nuke attacks, and the best your geographic synapses can conjure is Jo-fucking-hannesburg? Never mind New Delhi or Jerusalem, let's be on the lookout for those racist Teabagger terrorists plotting to vaporize Nelson Mandela. Jesus Christ, this idiot either (a) learned everything he knows about geopolitics at an 1983 anti-apartheid drum circle, or (b) rented "District 9" last night.

 

30 I see the brain trust of Dianne & Brian is back.  I think "they" have a crush on Sarah.

I never in a million years dreamed I'd miss W the way I do.  At least the guy worked to keep us safe, and didn't bow to dictators and our enemies, and insult our allies. 

2012 can't get here soon enough.

Almost responded with some pissed off comments since I was being snarky to begin with, until I remembered the name. Well played sir.

33 Mr. Adams, I'm serious. I know it's a stretch, but I've met a Samuel Adams (real name) who emceed a couple of concerts I've been to. So I was just wondering how small the world is. This Samuel Adams sang a "Star Spangled Banner" duet with the band's lead singer.

#30 - Jane Duh @ 6:38

You made my point. Thanks. LOL

_{(Pssssst, Jane Duh just said, "Huh???")}

Hate to disappoint, but I'm Jim from Wichita Kansas. I have used Samuel Adams for quite some time since I am a true believer that Sam Adams beer is the best beer brewed here in the United States. Sorry, but hey, I am a twice honorably discharged veteran and was a cop for 10 years if that hypes up my stock any.

WTF are you going on about?

Do you have something to contribute here?

Just wondering...

38

Peek-a-boo, Janey. I see you!

Oley, oley, olsen free, come out, come out from wherever you are? LOL

_{(Janey Duh is fuming, wondering which would be more effective, to say "Duh" or "Huh")}

39

Well, that Cream Stout can certainly give any beer I know of a run for it's money. And this is from someone who has a damn good brewery right here in Kansas City.  Boulevard Brewing Company, Them boys make some fine, fine beer.

40 I'm a little confused is" Dianne" trapped inside Brian's body screaming to get out or is it the other way around?

LOL - How lame. Is that the best that you've got?

What am I saying????  Of course that's the best that the diummy's got. LOL 

42 Posted by: HH at April 14, 2010 07:26 PM (GkYyh)

I like Boulevard. But they need to quit hyping their wheat beer because it really sucks. Oh, and I predict the Royals to go 65-97 this year due to their fucked up bullpen. I will admit that I loved watching Billy Butler hit when he was here in Wichita three years ago.

43 wow good retort you mental case do you like watching gladiator movies?

44

What am I saying???? 

Ya'know, we were wondering that ourselves.

Pray continue.Without the er, LOL stuff. Just sort of makes you look lame.

But really, carry on...

45

WOW!!!!!  AWESOME!!!!!!  Such snappy come-backs! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Psssssst, this must be what it's like to take candy from babies, or to roll drunks.)

46

Actually, it's the only beer of theirs' I've never tried. Weird thing is, outside of any sort of concert or somesuch, Boulevard does no advertising that I'm aware of.

Go figure.

47

(Psssssst, this must be what it's like to take candy from babies, or to roll drunks.)

Heh....Keep going...

We are sure you all will get to a point. Us slow people are just waiting...

48 Awesome,snappy and Pssssst used together in the same post just screams I'm gay. I gave you a break about the all caps because being gay and retarded must be tough on you.

49 I'll take that as another "Duh" from HH. He do have a way with words, don't he? LOL

Well, you would.

Heh...

52

Well, girls, I've got to run along. You're just too clever for me.

Bye, bye. LOL!!!!!!!

53

To those questioning the Johannesburg ref:

The guy up on stage with Toonces is South African President Jacob Zuma. It's customary to include his country in a talk on destruction if he's sitting right there.

Unless it's Bibi, but that's just how Toonces rolls.

54 Mr. Adams, I'm not disappointed. It's nice to meet you, Jim. I appreciate your service as a veteran and a cop, and the next time I have a beer, it will be a Samuel Adams in your honor. Now when I next visit Wichita and I meet anyone named Jim, I will have to ask him if he comments on AoSHQ.
