Diane Feinstein Is All Business At the Local Starbucks

[John]

Welcome to Starbucks, can I help you?

 

 

Dianefeinsteincrook
Yeah, give me a triple venti no-foam latte with room, and step on it - I've got government business to attend to.

 

 


OK, we're really busy this morning, but we can have that for you in about five minutes.

 

 

Dianefeinsteincrook
Five minutes?? Look I don't have five minutes - I'm sure these other people wouldn't mind if you took care of me first.

 

 


I'm afraid I can't do that...

 

 

Dianefeinsteincrook
I need to get to my office so I can draft a resignation letter!

 

 


I'm sorry, I can't...

 

 

Dianefeinsteincrook
What if I told you I could get you a $12 million medical supplies contract?

 

 


That wouldn't help.

 

 

Dianefeinsteincrook
We're talking no-bid contract, here.

 

 


We don't even have medical supplies here.

 

 

Dianefeinsteincrook
Look, it wouldn't be hard to move my cup to the front - just pull it out...

 

 


Oh my God, she said "Pull it"! You heard her, there's your evidence!

 

 


Ma'am, I've already asked you to leave several times this morning.

 

 


Two words, people: Instant coffee!

 

 


I'm trying to be nice, ma'am.

 

 


Google it!

 

 


I will call the police.

 

 

Rosieupsidedowncuzdorkaforkasked
Ah, that's better. Nutrients rushing to my brain...serotonin...

 

 


GET OUT!

 

 


Man, is she annoying.

 

 

Dianefeinsteincrook
All right, I've spoken to everyone in line and they've all agreed to let me cut in front of them.

 

 


Did you offer all of those people no-bid contracts?

 

 

Dianefeinsteincrook
Of course not.

 

 


Good, I was afraid...

 

 

Dianefeinsteincrook
A couple of them aren't incorporated, so I had to give them high-paying jobs at one of my husband's companies.

 

 


...

 

 

Dianefeinsteincrook
...

 

 


I'm definitely using a sick day tomorrow.

GOOGLE IT!

Somebody's Gotta Say It

[John]

Neal Boortz is a real a**hole:

 

THE PET FOOD SCARE
Nealboortzasshole3
"Why all the fuss? Am I not correct in that all of the pet fatalities, save one, were to cats?"

Wow, not only is Boortz an asshole, he's a macho dick who thinks it's funny that cats are dying.

Wait - maybe I'm being hasty. Maybe Neal Boortz is just trying to be controversial. Or, maybe he's challenging the status quo by employing previously taboo...nah, he's just an asshole.

Hey, I'm already getting e-mail about this post.

I totally agree with you about Neal Boortz being an a-hole John. I used to like listening to him, but then I read your post and realized I don't like listening to him any more.

Thanks, anonymous suck-up!

Hey I totally agree with you too John. I usually like whats-his-name, but now that you say he's an a-hole I guess I don't any more.

You said it.

Uh-oh, looks like we have a dissenter:

John YOU are tha ashole hear. Seems to me that a guy named Adolf Hitler wanted to ban Neil Boortz so I guess you're no better then the Nazis.

Hmm...guess AOL doesn't have a spellcheck, eh? Don't worry, though, loser - you can always learn to spell, but being an a**hole is forever. That doesn't make any sense, does it? Just forget I said that, OK?

H/t: InstaPunk, who has a new challenge for the blogosphere.

Everyone's Entitled to His Opinion (UPDATED)

[John]

Zombie took some great photos at the "U.S. Out of Iraq Now" rally in San Francisco on March 18th.

This picture in particular caught my attention:

Protestdickhead

At first, I was really pissed that this asswipe was marching around advocating the death of the president. But that was before I got a close look at the top of his sign:

Protestdickheadcloseup

See, "DEATH TO WORLDS #1 TERRORIST. PIG BUSH-&-HIS-SHEEP" is just his opinion.

You know what probably happened? I bet he made that sign, then when the people in Legal reviewed it they made him add that line. Happens all the time.

Hey, I wonder if they told him to add this at the end:

Protestdickheadyah

Wow. That really gives the sign that extra "oomph", doesn't it?

No, really. I'll show you - try saying this out loud:

DEATH TO WORLDS #1 TERRORIST. PIG BUSH-&-HIS-SHEEP

OK, now try this:

DEATH TO WORLDS #1 TERRORIST. PIG BUSH-&-HIS-SHEEP. YAH.

See? Makes all the difference.

UPDATE: Speaking of a**holes with signs, WTF is up with this?

Codepinkfreaks
The inspector general of the Department of Justice, Glenn Fine, waits for the start of a House Judiciary Committee hearing as Code Pink member Medea Benjamin, right, and an unidentified protester stand behind him on Capitol Hill yesterday.
(NY Sun, via HNAV)

Seriously, why are Medea Benjamin and the freaks at Code Pink being allowed to make a mockery of congressional committee hearings? Why isn't security throwing them out on their asses? Morons.

And Now, a Segment of Hardball That's Been Translated From English to German, German to French, French to Italian, and Then Back to English

[John]
Hardballdutch
I was Chris Matthews, I have made to play them the ball.

 

 

Hardballdutch
Jim VandeHei writes to Isikoff for "Newsweek politico.com. and Michael." He is, obviously, the incredible author "of the Hubris, the inner history of the scandal and to sell the Iraq of war." What the delivery "Hubris" is type of case, to enter, towards the right? What - it has let out this last one?

 

 

Hardballisikoff
We have had the news of some other details on a Cheney`s role, and the situation in the complete case and must resume a stage and say, it`s this case tightened on Libby like Denis Collins, the juror to which it has been said today, has been perceived from a lot of swears to you like case individual.

 

 

Hardballdutch
Let`s arrives to the points. The vice president was based with of the Libby in compliance with the certificate declares towards, in order to expire and to speak with about the Judy Miller. Has said with point, that he has said the source of the Valerie information to Wilson, it I was? And it was like "earth walnuts" or leggermente. I?

 

 

Hardballvandehei
Absolutely on this case is fascinant. We have received really one amount detail on the vices president. We always knew that he was completely effective in this house white woman, however this much more micromanager? Really, prescribing to use, the house white woman to defend? Task that is, that that is therefore remarkable here.

 

 

Hardballdutch
The vice president who drops of all and we an audience ability amount this last one, is Mike, and sapete this last one. Why has previewed therefore a fear that that Joe to Wilson has said?

 

 

Hardballisikoff
Well because the Wilson has regarded towards the right the vice president. It has proposed this travel.

 

 

Hardballdutch
The travel in Africa that has taken.

 

 

Hardballisikoff
The vice president has caused it. And the vice president would receive nearly without some doubt one relation of that.

 

 

Hardballdutch
Three persons have made under an oath in this attempt that was Vizepresident`s the issue that has contributed to those travel.

 

 

Hardballisikoff
The issue was that the travel has demanded. The vice president - it was that, we declare didn't to send them to its defense the individual on the travel. We didn't soaps.

 

 

Hardballvandehei
There is a difference between the system and some-one asks it establishes. But on the private one - and that one was the case to this last one that to form tried. If you mean, to try let`s to regulate one straight line of recording and let`s to go after he.

 

 

Hardballdutch
We'll be right back with Jim VandeHei and Mike Isikoff. And later, an exclusive with Democratic candidate John Edwards, who's taken some stuff from Ann Coulter.

 

 

Hardballvandehei
What the hell does that mean?

 

 

Hardballisikoff
Greek to me.

 

WuzzaDem vs. dorkafork: Bloggo-a-Bloggo

[John]

Sure, dorkafork wrote a five-word review of "300", but how about a three-word review?

"Didn't see it."

YES!

Take that, dorkafork! Even your friend, the cat who bears an amazing resemblance to Hitler®, is bailing on you.

"Achtung! Herr dorkafork ees pwn3d!"


UPDATE: Damn you, dorkafork! I have no answer for this. Another day, sir - another day.

Non-Posting Post (Which, Technically, Is the Same Thing As a Post. Also, The Same As Not a Post (If That Makes Sense, Which I Don't Think It Does. Whatever))

[John]
Pissed2

AAAAAAAAH!

This computer is seriously pissing me off right now.

You know, if you break that down it means that my computer is angering me in a way that is not joking or trifling.

Or, it could mean that my computer is angering me in a way that is excessive or impressive in quality, quantity, extent, or degree.

Does that sound stupid, or what?

Really, my computer has no freaking idea of or control over the manner in or extent to which it's failure to operate correctly affects my emotional state. And that really pisses me off.

Also pissing me off:

 


Davincicode

The DaVinci Code. That book was a steaming pile. Come on - the guy took Angels & Demons, moved it to a different location and renamed a few characters. I know it's old, but it still sticks in my craw. Just sayin'.

First They Came For the Gamers, And I Didn’t Speak Up, Because...Well, Because It's Kind Of Silly, Really (UPDATED)

[John]

Get a grip, people:

Mariojohnedwards
Blasphemy!
Shortly before midnight (CST) on Monday, February 26, a group of republican Second Life users, some sporting "Bush '08" tags, vandalized the John Edwards Second Life HQ. They plastered the area with Marxist/Lenninist posters and slogans, a feces spewing obsenity, and a photoshopped picture of John in blackface, all the while harrassing visitors with right-wing nonsense and obsenity-laden abuse of Democrats in general and John in particular.

I witnessed this event, taking names and photos, including the owners of the pictures. I also kept and saved a copy of the chat log. I have filed an abuse report with Linden Labs, and am awaiting their investigation.

When I first read this I thought Second Life was the name of some nutroots offshoot - apparently it's a "virtual world", which I'm pretty sure means it's a game.

A game. Let that sink in.

So the Edwards campaign is awaiting an "investigation" into who "vandalized" their "headquarters" in a "virtual world".

Damn, I just broke the quote marks key.

Edwardssecondlife
Actual screenshot of the "vandalism".

BTW, who are these "Republicans" with "Bush '08" stickers? And how do you "harass" someone in a virtual world? Thick-skinned, these Edwards people are. Well, at least we have an idea of how Edwards would handle a major disaster if he were elected.

Wasn't Edwards going to "harness the power of the blogosphere" or some crap? Seems like his campaign blog has been nothing but a source of embarrassment so far.

Thanks to Dan Collins (not for the vandalism, for the tip).

UPDATE: Feces spewing obsenity [sic]? WTF?

UPDATE II: Kirsten Powers has an excellent v-log on " The Seedy World of Second Life" (H/T: mesablue). As she notes, Edwards picked a rather strange neighborhood in which to build his "virtual campaign headquarters":

As you will see, the Edwards HQ has some disturbed neighbors. Particularly troubling are the rape fantasy clubs and the child sex brothel called Jailbait (the "owner" of the club, a 35-year- old woman named Emily Semaphore refers it as "age-play.") The "Second Life Herald" complains that "Intersexed Avatar Children Hard to Find" and provides this handy graph to explain what kind of virtual child sex the adult members of Second Life are engaging in:


Secondlifepervs


Nice neighbors you've got there, John.

As for Republicans being responsible for this wanton virtual destruction (virtually wanton destruction?), check out this comment from the Edwards campaign blog:

There are a lot of possibilities. Don't immediately jump at the idea that it is Republicans or progessives.

Second Life is the home to a lot of people who believe in almost anarchist level of freedom. I don't say that as a judgement one way or the other. But it is a realm where ANYTHING is possible and many a "prankster" will jump at the opportunity to stir things up. Edwards headquarters makes a perfect target. Just as the less destructive and more creative "John Edward" headquarters popping up right next door was stabbing at the absurb, this act of vandalism may very well be the same.

Anything in SL that smells of mainstream or popularity will be and is a target. Try not to read any more of an agenda than that: Chaos for chaos's sake.

I guess that would explain the "Bush '08" stickers. Thanks for the info, anonymous pervert loser "virtual world" enthusiast.
