    That’s funny. What’s even more funny though, is this Dick Army smack down:

    In an interview this week, Mr. Armey said catering to Dr. Dobson and his allies had led the party to abandon budget-cutting. And he said Christian conservatives could cost Republicans seats around the country, especially in Ohio.

    “The Republicans are talking about things like gay marriage and so forth, and the Democrats are talking about the things people care about, like how do I pay my bills?” he said.

    I think he’s even tired of the crew in charge now.

    Now we’ll get a firsthand look at just how much influence far right blogs really have in the GOP noise machine–be on the lookout for any official mentions of Iceland tomorrow, especially sabre rattling! Also see if we try to get allies on our side to fight this grave and gathering threat to the north (and somewhat south, east, and west of us)–don’t forget Poland!

    It’s unthinkable to nuke Iceland. In my considered opinion, Iceland has the best-looking women in all the world – aside from, obviously, Canada. That’s an extremely valuable natural resource.

    The whole episode is pretty funny, although a lot of the Redstate people were, typically, complete assholes to the confused visitors who took the post the wrong way. A few were more classy than that.

    In any event, John, it’s good to see you making nice with the guys from Redstate… although you’re probably just looking to get in their pants.

    Oh, and on the topic of humor, don’t miss this hilarious skewering of the 9/11 conspiracy idiots. A brief sample:

    CHENEY: Of course, just toppling the Twin Towers will never be enough. No one would give us the war mandate we need if we just blow up the Towers. Clearly, we also need to shoot a missile at a small corner of the Pentagon to create a mightily underpublicized additional symbol of international terrorism — and then, obviously, we need to fake a plane crash in the middle of fucking nowhere in rural Pennsylvania.

    RUMSFELD: Yeah, it goes without saying that the level of public outrage will not be sufficient without that crash in the middle of fucking nowhere.

    Trust me, just read the whole thing. If you don’t laugh at some point, you don’t hate these lunatics enough.

    But nowthe Red State guys want to nuke Iceland.

    At least it’s a plan. That’s more than the Democrats offer us for dealing with Iceland.

    Hahaha. Fantastic.

    Yeah, I had a roommate a year back who was a big 9/11 Truther. I had to spend hours trying to convince him that yes, two jetliners filled with fuel could, in fact, bring down a building after being on fire for an hour and no you didn’t need land mines all over the bottom of the building and while I’m not a sesmologist, I’m confident Tower 7 could have been knocked over by something other than evil FBI ninja terrorist sabators. Perhaps… the earthshattering impact of two of the tallest buildings in the world collapsing right next to it.

    Most likely it was the failure of the weird truss system they built in that structure (to support the tower over a power substation.) It was an innovative design, but like the big towers’ design, innovative in a way that led to its destruction.

    It wasn’t the mass of the collapsing nearby towers that did in the truss, it was a massive fire. Video of the collapse of Tower clearly shows the center of the building going down first …. the portion immediately above the truss.

    There’s a ton of material out there on the subject, but you have to wade through all the conspiracy crap to get to the good stuff.

    Also the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Pentagon Building Performance Report which details the event at that building puts an end to the nonsense about a missile being fired into it. It was an airliner, and the evidence was pretty overwhelming. ASCE did an exhaustive investigation on the case.

    SEOUL, South Korea – North Korean leader Kim Jong Il expressed regret about his country’s nuclear test to a Chinese delegation and said Pyongyang would return to international nuclear talks if Washington backs off a campaign to financially isolate the country, South Korean media reported Friday.

    World’s second-craziest dumbfuck head of state backs off.

    Why can’t we get a leader like that?

    What’s funny is the post says that “halarity ensues” in the comment section, but really, nothing was funny. And NOTHING was Icelandic.

    So it’s clear that they just deleted a bunch of posts. What kind of blog just deletes whatever the hell they don’t like?

    Oh yeah. RudeState.

    How long would it take for Dems, with a firm grip on both houses on the Hill, to become corrupt and totally self-serving?

    I am thinking my days with Red State are over permanently. After the lection, the Republicans will form the circular firing squad, and we all know how that will work. Already, Red State is trying to blame the failings of this administration and Congress on the moderates.

    Hey, at least it ain’t a civil war!!

    Fighting broke out in Amara on Thursday after the head of police intelligence in the surrounding province, a member of the rival Shiite Badr Brigade militia, was killed by a roadside bomb, prompting his family to kidnap the teenage brother of the local head of the a-Madhi Army.

    The Mahdi Army seized several police stations and clamped a curfew on the city in retaliation.

    How very Bushy of them. I would expect no less

    For some reason it reminds me of a story Solzhenitsyn told in his book, Gulag Archipelago. While working with another prisoner, Solzhenitsyn asked him what he did prior to the gulags and what got him sent there.

    Seems the guy was a former high-ranking general. One day while senior military officers were assembled in a room, Stalin walked in. Of course everyone stood and began applauding. Stalin sat down but didn’t say a word. Everyone in the room knew it wouldn’t be a career move to be the first to stop, so they kept applauding. And applauding. And applauding… Finally this general got fed up being a sheep and stopped while sitting down. Everyone else followed his lead. Next day he was arrested.

    See, it’s not just important to clap loud enough. The reason Russia lost the Cold War while gutting its country and people was not enough clapped LONG enough.

    I got banned from that site about three weeks into my blog-o-filic lifestyle for saying something regarding religion. I don’t remember exactly how offensive it was, just that one of the forum favorites was so horribly offended she had to bitch me out and get me kicked indefinitely. At a loss, I started visiting DailyKos instead. I think that’s appropriate revenge.
