You Can't Hide Those Desperate Eyes

A question re last night's Democratic debate:

When accompanied by burning ambition and a profound sense of entitlement, what motivating factor:

• may suit the female lead in a Lifetime Movie Channel drama about a woman scorned, but not be particularly appealing in a presidential candidate?
  
  
• can cause rivets to start popping under minimal pressure, like being asked (more than once) to clarify one's position on driver's licenses for illegal immigrants?
  
  
• is so powerful that it cannot be contained by well-rehearsed routines, no matter how clever or calculated they may be?
  
  
• can, at the slightest provocation, grab hold of the steering wheel and start swerving from lane to lane - and thereby render a presidential candidate unelectable?

Possible answers:

1. Compassion for the less fortunate.
2. The pursuit of excellence.
3. The desire to serve others.
4. Pure, unadulterated desperation.

Thanks For The $36.00, Asswipes

Yes, that's a blogad for Lions for Lambs in the sidebar.

Here's the deal: John Hawkins from Right Wing News was running something called a "Hive Blogad" a few months back, which featured links to various posts from conservative blogs, but there were some technical difficulties, so it was "deferred", which means the order for the ad sits in my little Blogads inbox, waiting to be reactivated. Whenever I log on to Blogads, I see "Conservative Hive Livelink".

This morning I got an e-mail from Blogads telling me a new ad had been submitted, I logged in, and approved the new version of the Hive ad - I thought. When I looked at the blog, these three bozos were staring at me from the sidebar:

AAAAAH!

I logged onto Blogads again, and sure enough, I had mistakenly approved an ad named "Conservative/Lions for Lambs". Apparently Redford and his buddies are looking to convert a few lizard-brained right-wingers with their "powerful anti-war message." Way to budget those advertising dollars, jagoffs.

Well, at least the movie's getting good reviews:

Watching some NFL football on Sunday, I saw the new TV ad for Lions for Lambs. The ad had quotes from favorable “reviews”. If you look at the fine print two of the positive “reviews” were from posts on Daily Kos.

Anyway, thanks for the $36.00, dickheads. I'll use it to pay my TypePad bill. Then we can publish more posts like these.

UPDATE: WTF? They took the ad down. Something I said?

UPDATE II: Hey, do I get to keep the $36.00?

UPDATE III: Looks like I don't get to keep the $36.00

Ellen's World of Pain

How do you mend a broken heart?

Well, when a three-year relationship (in a long string of short-term relationships gone sour) goes sour, redirect your anger, bitterness and hurt on some unsuspecting animal rescue workers (just trying to do their job) - and then, let it rip.

Better yet, let it rip on national television. Make stuff up if you have to. You need all the public sympathy you can get.

And when evidence surfaces on TheSmokingGun.com that tends to challenge the stuff you made up, blame your ill-fated love life for your poor judgment (via one of your people), floating this pitiful excuse for an excuse to the press:

“Ellen would never have broken down like that on TV if things were right in her home life.”

In short, walk like a man, cry like a unstable woman.

UPDATE: It appears that Iggy isn't the first dog Ms. Degeneres "re-gifted" after a couple weeks/months. Rumors suggest that Stormy wasn't the first, either.

Does the ACLU Have Anything to Do With This?

Nine arson suspects arrested and one killed while trying to start another fire. But no names, no photos, no information on any of them in press reports.

Do arsonists have some kind of union, and is it represented by the ACLU(?), because the privacy rights enjoyed by arson suspects/convicted arsonists seem far greater than those of most criminals, criminal suspects, and law-abiding citizens.

Instead of being treated like the terrorists they are, they're being treated like rape victims.

And is the media complicit in this conspiracy? Because I know a lot more about the Duke lacrosse players (pre-exoneration) than I do about Raymond Lee Oyler, the guy awaiting trial for the 2006 Esperanza fire (in which five firefighters were killed). And I certainly wouldn't recognize him from the missing photo in this article.

And what about Terry Barton?

Terry who?

The woman who pleaded guilty to felony arson charges in connection with the 2002 Hayman Fire, the largest wildfire in Colorado's history, and which killed five firefighters.

She received concurrent 6-year and 12-year federal and state sentences, the 12-year sentence later overturned because...

The Colorado Court of Appeals said state District Judge Edward Colt gave Terry Lynn Barton too harsh a sentence and had at least "the appearance of prejudice" because smoke from the fire had prompted him to leave his home for a night.

Something's not right here.

Like Terrorism, Like Arson, Like Karma

What do terrorism, arson, and karma have in common? All three serve the same function: exacting righteous punishment on the shamelessly wicked.

At least that's the way some people see it.

 

...As for those in the World Trade Center, well, really, let's get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break.

 

...And these people with the fires and the floods and everything, they overbuild, they put nature to the test and they get what's coming to them. That's what I say.

 

But don't blame Ward Churchill or George Carlin for their juvenile, chemically-induced outrageousness.

Blame the hairy college chicks who keep encouraging them with adoring tingly-ness.

A Hypothetical Experiment in the Application of Science and Reason As It Relates to the Manifestations of Evolution Delusion Syndrome

A mental exercise that works concepts associated with rules, guidelines and natural law, while evaluating what effects finite possibilities may (or may not) have on the creative process when creative output is intended to serve a particular purpose, or multiple purposes.

Offered in response to the escalating propaganda war being waged by manic-depressive intellectuals (and other substance abusers) who, in addition to being tiresome, are hell-bent on destroying various value systems (especially Christianity) which are based on a belief that a higher authority than man exists, i.e., mankind is not the Big Cheese/Ultimate Arbiter of All Things.

Yahoo! Looks Like We're Retiring

I've just been informed by a high-level official at "Yahoo Lottery Incorperation UK and Ireland" (I guess that's the Irish spelling) that I've been selected from thousands of Yahoo! e-mail users to receive "a prize money of (Four Hunderd Thousands British Pounds Starling £400,000 GBP) of the year, 2007 Lottery-win promotion."

Seems this is a promotion that was started by the Yahoo! e-mail team to reward Yahoo! e-mail users.

Well, they got my attention, and now I'm a Yahoo! e-mail user for life. All I need to do to collect my "Four Hunderd Thousands British Pounds Starling" is reply to this e-mail address:

Try and stop me.

All Ellen Really Cares About Is the Dog

Hi. I am a whiny, self-aggrandizing celebrity  c**t who became very upset recently when some nobody at some nobody-animal-rescue group tried to hold me to a contract I signed when I adopted some dumb dog from them.

Yeah, yeah, when I adopted the stupid mutt I agreed to care and provide for it its entire life, or return it to the nobody-rescue group if I didn't want it anymore, but so-the-f*ck what?

After two weeks, I had about all I could take of the obnoxious little sh*tbag and gave it to my hairdresser. BFD. Who cares?

I mean, really, what kind of losers volunteer a good portion of their time and money caring for homeless dogs and cats that have been abused and/or discarded like so much trash?

That really sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it? What kind of sickos are these people, anyway?

And then they have the nerve to act like abused/abandoned animals merit some kind of protection and consideration when they're  placed in a new home.

Anyway, I thought I'd put the screws to these nobody-losers and teach them a lesson they'd never forget, so I went on my nationally-televised talk show and told viewers my version of what happened, making it crystal clear to anyone with a brain that I'm the one with a heart of gold, and they're the big fat a**holes - and, man, did I turn on the waterworks!

And guess what? It worked like a charm. After the show aired, the nobody who heads this  nobody-animal-rescue group started receiving death threats almost immediately -  and now, thanks to my poignantly delivered  sob story,  all sorts of people are pissed off at the nobody-losers who rescue and care for abused and abandoned animals.

God, I love being me.

Or, We Could Just Paint a Giant Target On It

Ack:

New York's iconic Empire State Building is to be lit up green from Friday in honor of the Muslim holiday of Eid, the biggest festival in the Muslim calendar marking the end of Ramadan, officials said.

Word

OK, This Is Really Pissing Me Off

Seriously, it's just ridiculous.

UPDATE: Never mind - now that I look at it in the proper context, it makes sense.

UPDATE II: Turns out that wasn't the proper context, after all. Now I'm even more pissed off.

UPDATE III: I might have been a little hasty about that context. I guess I should look at it again.

UPDATE IV: Maybe I didn't put the context in the proper context. Is that even possible?

UPDATE V: Now I've lost track - would that mean I'm still pissed off, even more pissed off, or that it doesn't bother me any more?

UPDATE VI: Should I just forget about the context and put it into something else?

OK, Back To Posting

Welcome to Starbucks, can I help you?

 

 

Oh, yeah? Well, maybe you should...wait, you're not Harry Reid.

 

 

Yeah, I was expecting Tom Harkin.

 

 

What the hell's going on?

 

 

Welcome to Starbucks, I'm Chris Matthews.

 

 

...

 

 

...

 

 

I think John might be a little rusty.

 

 

Well, I'm out of here. See ya.

 

 

Later.

 

 

Did I just say welcome to Starbucks?
