A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

We still have time to mess this up!

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

This blog will pay for itself.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

I seriously hope Frank Gaffney and Michelle Malkin don’t catch wind of this:

Is that a star and a crescent moon I see in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life logo? They should just change their name to the MUSLIM CANCER SOCIETY.

    I give them until Tuesday before they begin screaming about this.

    You know, I never liked Ronald Reagan, but he never struck me as a guy who was scared of everything. Today’s Republican Party is scared to death of every little thing. We can’t try terrorists because they’re too scary. We can’t have civil liberties because bad people might claim them, too, and that’s scary. Gay people are scary. Health insurance reform is scary. Black people are scary. Hispanics are scary. Everything is scary.

    Can anybody think of anything that doesn’t freak these people out? Liz Cheney’s whole nascent political career is built on the belief that the best way to live is to hide under the bed from the big, bad bogeymen, whoever they happen to be today: Muslims, lawyers who represent defendents who happen to be Muslim, communists, who knows what else… Now, I get that Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, Newt Gingrich, McConnell, and many more of the elected Republicans are most likely not scared half to death themselves, but are using fear to get votes. People like Michelle Malkin, though, really seem to be scared all the time. Gaffney, too, I guess.

    I can’t understand how people can live that way.

And the man in the crescent moon is smiling and looks friendly, the better to inveigle our innocent young men into devil worship, and our girls into servicing satanic muslim suicide bombers.

    @Omnes Omnibus:

    Thanks, just downloaded it and took a look.

    Maybe you are funning me with the question, but…

    The paper wants to explain social conventions using game theory and how selfish rational people would conduct relationships in simple social and economic games in equilibrium. So you need to check out in detail if the proposed behavior is consistent with explicit concepts of how selfish rational people should play the games, and in equilibrium so that stable patterns would emerge.

    As the paper says, it is well known that people playing games in a selfish rational way may act differently when they are playing simple reward games repeatedly with known ‘opponents’. Seems like this paper wants to extend that result to situation of repeated rational game playing in a large society where you are playing different people almost all the time. In that case why wouldn’t everyone play social and economic interaction games like a sequence of one-time games that are independent of each other (which usually produces a more selfish solution with few altruistic or socially-minded conventions).

    I don’t have to time to read fun papers like this anymore.

    Obama, the community organizer, is trying to triangulate between the volcanoes and AmTrak. His mistake is thinking that the train barons have any interest in compromise. He’ll end up alienating the people whose support he needs the most, the teapilots.

    @me: Obama IS Xenu.

    Xenu Obama was about to be deposed from power, so he devised a plot to eliminate the excess population from his dominions. With the assistance of psychiatrists the IRS, he summoned billions of his citizens together under the pretense of income tax health insurance inspections, then paralyzed them and froze them in a mixture of alcohol and glycol Bud Light and dijon mustard to capture their souls. The kidnapped populace was loaded into spacecraft for transport to the site of extermination, the planet of Teegeeack (Earth). When they had reached Teegeeack/Earth, the paralyzed citizens were unloaded around the bases of volcanoes across the planet. Hydrogen bombs were then lowered into the volcanoes and detonated simultaneously.

    Clearly the delay of manned space flight is an effort by Obama to keep us from uncovering his nefarious plot. His seizing of nuclear material to ensure he has enough nukes to carry out his plans – and the eruption just 3 days later evidence of what would happen to uncooperative leaders if they didn’t comply with his plan – Iceland chosen of course as they were desperate for his alien soçialsm bailouts.

    I might just have to make up some ‘Obama is Xenu’ signs and crash the next teaparty event.

    It probably has something to do with the fact that the right makes their own reality and we’re supposed to sit back and take note of it. Or something like that.

    One thing about people that has fascinated me is the ‘set’ a persons face takes as they age. When I look at the faces of the teabaggers, nearly every one of them has a face with a bitter, angry set to it. Their lips are thin from being pressed together in anger and consternation for too many years, their mouths turning down sharply in a severe frown with the lines and wrinkles to match. And their eyes, angry and bitter, glaringly hateful of anyone too different from them.

    My wife’s Aunt is one of these people. She is as sweet as you can imagine someone but bring up Obama or liberals and she goes off like a grenade. She’s in her late 80’s and nothing is going to change her. When she once told me that every single Muslim needed to be deported, I asked her if that included American citizens and she angrily spat out “Yes, every single one of them. They’re all traitors.”. She has the face to match this statement, the same face I described above.

    We’re surrounded. Even in the heart of ‘real America’ our sinister overlords are working.

    PS: which means you will want to check out my delux super strength home backyard survival bunker kit. Look for my new infomercial after Glenn’s program. Money orders and credit cards only, no lay away plans.

    What’s truly scary is that if McNonMaverick had ended up in the Oval Office, Frank Gaffney would be among the neocon whackjobs who landed high-ranking jobs in his administration. Most likely as an assistant Secretary of Defense in charge of the 2009 war plan for attacking and occupying Iran. I’ll stick with the ‘hopey, changey’ stuff instead.

    @Bnut: if any of you lefties ever got near a church, you’d know the swastika is an old and fairly common symbol. For instance, I’m sure John Cole has noticed that there are literally dozens of swastika tiles in the floor of the Cathedral for the Diocese of Wheeling on Eoff St in Wheeling W. Va. We always remarked on it when we came in from the boonies for a wedding there.

    @Mark S.: Get the heck out of town.

    Is there a dementia that attacks self-awareness first?

    Al-gebra is a tool of the caliphate.

    Well, actually it is.

    I hope Michelle “Unhinged: Projecting My Own Insanity Onto Liberals” Malkin DOES see this. We’re overdue for another Malkin meltdown.

    OMG! Can’t you see it people! Who better to strap on an explosive vest that someone dying of cancer! This is such a clever ruse by the ACS to fund these operations against us … they must hate our cancer-free freedoms! … Unless our politically motivated sense of Gestalt is reading far too much into this image than someone with a heathy understanding of the world would read into it.

    ……..Nah. To the trenches!

    @Mumphrey:

    They live like that quite easily, or at least, living in that state is quite easy. Unreasoning fear of The Other is the default state of the human mind.
