Getting to know McCain

post from AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth on 14 May 2008 11:55:00 PM. © AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

Horsey's cartoon is so on the money. The wingnuts detest McCain and once the Democrats move on to focusing on McCain, the rest of the country is going to see just how much McCain is on the wrong side of both the war and the economy. Who really thinks "tax cuts and less regulation" is the answer to the problems we face today?

"The Pap Attack" takes on "right-wing foot soldiers" (though I'm a bit dismayed by his swipe at the Dems; some proof of that charge would be nice, Mike)...

...and Stephen Colbert takes down "Papa Bear" O'Reilly (terrific - h/t HuffPo).

Thrusts Shouldn't Seep

post from Jesus' General on 14 May 2008 11:20:00 PM. © Jesus' General

I know that, like most of you out there, once I've drained a twelve pack and performed a mighty suck off the John Ashcroft Soaring Eagle Bong, I make mistakes. I admit this freely, under court order. I also know that we who are the true Americans are not just susceptible to outside dark forces (I'm talking to you, Barack "Hussein Arab Muslim Islamoblackofascist" Obama Mama) but also to the pernicious finnagleings of the enemy within, the double agents that can appear anywhere, at any time, and rob us of our Spermatozaon Essence. Yes, I'm talking about Orchid Wasps.

Orchids that mimic female wasps may not only waste the time of the male wasps they lure into spreading their pollen -- they also seduce them into wasting valuable sperm, Australian researchers reported on Wednesday.

The next time you give some semen-stained flowers to your loved one (Praise Jesus that Mother's Day has passed) think about what it means when WASPs (think it's just a coincidence that White Anglo Saxon Protestants and their flying counterparts have both fallen prey to random seductions? Well, do ya?) have their innermost gonadial genetic envoys devoured by meretricious flowers. I know I will.

"Insects pollinating Australian tongue orchids (Cryptostylis species) frequently ejaculate and waste copious sperm," they wrote in a report in The American Naturalist.

Yeah, I know, those are Australian tongues they're talking about, but they're white like us, and descended from criminals, so the links are there. We are one with our down under tongue suckers.

Flowers are nature's sluts, and always have been, so you shouldn't even go there, unless you are some butt-sniffing bee out for free pollen and smellariffic nonsense. But what matters about this story--really, really matters--is that we patriotic Americans have been guilty of depositing our essence in the wrong membranes for some time now and don't even know it. Whether it's shooting off a load in an acting senator's field office or getting jiggy with our inner scuba diver it's no secret that we're "dropping the kids off five blocks from school." I don't know about you, but if a school bus shows up and pretends it's my wife, I start humping the back bumpers like Jeff Gannon at the Lucky 8 Inches Cut Corral. Twice.

So what are we to do? Our innate desire to populate the earth with people who eat as many Cheetos as we do can override our abilities to discriminate as to worthy receptacles for that impending army of surging spermatoids, and thus impede our ability to get those "slippery kids" into the Home School where they belong. Those orchids that trick the WASPs are just like our public restrooms, private chat rooms, live chat rooms, Uncle Linda's back patio, Aunt Larry's Double Ply Wet Suits Boutique, thumbnail sketches of grown men practicing nude chiropractic pain relief--my bookmarks just go on and on. The WASP Sucking Orchids of Life cheat us of the tarmacs our little jets should be landing on, and I know just how to make it stop. As Nancy used to say while adjusting Ronnie's catheter: Just Say No to Orchids. That's right: just say no, right after you jettison a tactical force whose sole purpose is to throw the enemy off the track. How can you say no while you're saying yes? Are you new in town or what?

Look, White America needs more babies, okay? With half the GOP going down on the other half (with mixed results, I might add) what can we do to keep the bloodlines going, the juices flowing, the gonads goading? What is it going to take to save America? I call it Tactical Orchid Fucking, and you should too.

Some of you may be scratching some pouch-like part of your body this very minute while you wrap your brain around how you can use Tactical Orchid Fucking to stave off the WASP Sucking Orchids of this world. Well, I'll tell you: if you pass a men's room and feel the need to widen your stance, go ahead, but here's the key: only let a few of your little soldiers out of the barracks at one time. Here is where we have to turn to our women (desperate times call for desperate actions). Women have known for right around 6,000 years (as soon as Eve got out of the garden she started experimenting) two things: number one is if you make a joke about menstruation women will kill you in your sleep, and number two is Kegles, baby, Kegles! That's right: by controlling your pelvic muscles, the way women and closeted Republicans do, you can keep the ranks in line, only sending out enough infantry to greet the enemy with a lightly moist kiss and make those damn orchids think they done took you dry, while you save the regular army for sweet honeybone's egg farm. Why should women be the only ones who can sever your head with their rock-hard, hairy thighs? I mean, really.

Remember: when you get a quickie on the way home, just give enough to your orchid friend to make it seem like you care. The rest that you hang on to will be re-upped on the home front. If you can't control the numbers, the numbers will invariably control you.

Yours in Manly Kegles,

mjs

Kentucky 's Demographics

post from TalkLeft on 14 May 2008 11:01:00 PM. © TalkLeft

Five threads in one day for John Edwards is plenty. Even the Washington Post says his endorsement will have a short news cycle hit and in the end not matter much.

So, onto Kentucky. Hillary got the endorsement today of four former Democratic KY governors. The demographics favor her. And, while a record number have registered to vote, only 16,000 new voters registered since January. [More...]

A record 2.8 million Kentuckians are registered to vote in the primary election. Of those, 1.6 million are Democrats. And, despite the close presidential primary, the number of new registered voters hasn't skyrocketed. In the past six months, 16,000 people have registered, 13,000 of them as Democrats.

Records from the Kentucky Board of Elections show that 53 percent of the state's registered voters are women, a demographic that has played in Clinton's favor in other states. Kentucky doesn't track party registrants by race, but blacks make up only 7.4 percent of the state's population compared with 12.4 percent nationally — a far smaller minority voting bloc than in other Southern states carried by Obama.

And Kentucky voters are slightly older than voters nationally, another advantage for Clinton.

There are 51 delegates. As for superdelegates:

Clinton has won the endorsement of three of Kentucky's Democratic superdelegates. Obama has been endorsed by two, both Democratic congressmen representing the state's two largest cities. Three other superdelegates remain undecided.

On polls: May 9 - 11, Survey USA:

Survey USA Kentucky Poll conducted on 9 May – 11 May showed Clinton leading Obama by 32 points – 62 to 30 among Kentucky Democratic primary voters. Conducted on sample size of 641, the poll, with Margin of error: ± 3.8 , indicated a massive victory for Clinton.

So long as Hillary remains in the race, we'll keep following the primaries. She deserves at least that. And so do her supporters.

Late Night Music Club with Barenaked Ladies

Barenaked Ladies broke in the U.S.– they had already been huge in Canada for many years– because of their raucous and fun-for-all live shows. And one of the most looked forward to moments in a great BNL concert was their performance of the 1989 hip hop classic, “Fight The Power.” Once a Barenaked version was [...]

Wow...

Boy, did I get a flurry of anonymous comments in response to the Edwards post below (and from someone called 12 Dragon), which merely linked to the CNN story of the Obama endorsement (really, though, the post dealt with the College for Everyone program for which Edwards was asking for support).

Excerpts? OK - let's see..."old whore Kennedy," "loser Kerry," "only stupid loser men support Obama," "whoever thinks Obama has a vision for America needs better glasses," "Edwards is a dope," "Hillary will win the endorsement with Ferraro as VP" (that was particularly funny)...and that was the stuff that featured proper spelling and syntax WITHOUT profanity.

Well, just to let you know, I rejected them all (and I know I don't get that many comments to begin with, but I don't think it's too much to ask for comments by life forms with an IQ beyond single digits).

If you have an intelligent argument to make, make it. Otherwise, go read Instapundit, Power Line, Free Republic or Little Green Snotballs and don't waste my time.
