New York Republican Rep. Peter King went to war with his Republican
colleagues on Wednesday after leaders spiked a Hurricane Sandy relief
bill, calling on New Yorkers to stop all donations to GOP House members.

I’m detecting a theme here…

I live in NY and I am disgusted with it. Every time there is a
disaster some mysterious illness or irreparable seems to pop up and harm
our citizens all go running for the doctor

Running for the Doctor? EVERY time a mysterous illness pops up? What a bunch of wusses!

andthe lawyer and the
congressman and cry crocodile tears in order to make some money. How
about we all shut up, pull ourselves together and stop asking for money
for once. What a concept! What a bunch of wusses!

I think tea party and like minded individuals gave the GOP one
last chance in 2012. I think it is time to move on. If the GOP wants to
come along fine but otherwise they can go pound sand.

2014 will be the last chance for the Pubbies, IMO.

On
second thought, the upcoming debt ceiling is the last chance. If the
Pubbies don’t draw the line in the sand, it will never happen.

Does Boehner realize he’s Speaker because of the Tea Party?

I honestly see no logic in subsidizing people living in areas
which are especially vulnerable to bad weather.

Well, let’s see – that would be the entire population of both coasts, the Gulf of Mexico, tornado alley, and the Rocky Mountains from British Colombia to the Rio Grande. Throw in the desert states where nothing edible grows and sandstorms turn car windows milky white,

What’s left?

On top of that, those
areas (costal) are generally pretty affluent.

Have you ever BEEN to Mississippi, you hat of asses?

It’s bad enough we have effectively subsidized flood insurance, but aid on top of that is rubbish.

Three “rude and impertinent” questions about the Manti Te’o saga

Once Deadspin cracked open the case of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o’s fake dead girlfriend, the Internet and MSM were aflutter with discussions as they scrambled to keep up. Perhaps the biggest bit of dickheadery came from the Boston Globe where Jim McBride, commenting on getting his ass kicked on the story, scoffed at Deadspin as not being a paragon of journalistic virtue. My own take on Deadspace has been one of high-risk, high-reward. In explaining this site to a group of young J-students from Wisconsin, I said Deadspace was akin to former Milwaukee Brewer Russell Branyan. He’d go 1-for-13and … Continue reading Three “rude and impertinent” questions about the Manti Te’o saga

Pulp Fiction Thursday: Seven Days In May

Peter Adrastos Athas

Seven Days In May is an odd movie to dub pulp fiction. The novel on which it was based was pretty darn pulpy but the film had an A-List cast, prestige director and first rate screenwriter. I’m trotting it out today because it’s a personal favorite of mine; every time I stumble into it on cable, I watch it as if it were the first time. In short, it’s a thrilling thriller. This tale of an aborted military coup against a dovish nuke cutting President (Fredric March) was inspired by the massive falling out between JFK and his generals after … Continue reading Pulp Fiction Thursday: Seven Days In May

Snarky, My Favorite Flavor of Democrat

Allison Hantschel

OUCH: “Tea Party House Republicans have had a rough month … We have a few suggestions for House Republicans that might make their next month a little bit easier,” said Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesman Jesse Ferguson in a release. Among the “suggested” agenda items complied by the DCCC: breakfast paid for by lobbyists, “Science 101,” a workshop on “How to stop talking about ‘legitimate rape’ and insulting women,” a math course on “counting to 218 votes” — and, of course, trust falls. Also on the suggested topics to be discussed: “How to increase our approval ratings: What root canals, … Continue reading Snarky, My Favorite Flavor of Democrat

Republican Opposition is Democrats’ Fault

Because of course it is: LIASSON: In the end, the biggest obstacle to Mr. Obama’s gun violence bills might be Republican opposition, but right now the biggest hurdle is a lack of enthusiasm on the part of his own Democrats. Asked for his reaction to the president’s proposals, Republican House Speaker John Boehner said he would wait to see what the Senate – and its Democratic leader, Harry Reid, does first. JOHN FEEHERY: The number one impediment to actual action on gun control has been Harry Reid. LIASSON: John Feehery is a former House Republican leadership aide. YOU DON’T FUCKIN’ … Continue reading Republican Opposition is Democrats’ Fault

Watching The Crazy Go Up To Eleven

FromAlbum4 Living ingun nut country — but not owning a gun myself — I’m occasionally surprised at how, well, common gun ownership is around here. That’s partly because, even though it’s definitely gun nut territory, people generally usually don’t loudly screech about them, brandish them, or otherwise get in your face with their demands to fondle their firearms 24/7. Which is something that strikes me about thelatest up-to-eleven crazyreactions to the proposals for additional gun regulation, namely, the sheer volume and degree of shrill. To be blunt, what a bunch of wussies. Maybe it’s just me, but you’d think people … Continue reading Watching The Crazy Go Up To Eleven

Clarence Thomas Meets John Entwistle

Peter Adrastos Athas

The beltway political press is wetting themselves today about porn lovin’ Supreme Clarence Thomas. He spoke in court for the first time in 7 years. Big Fucking Deal. Me, I wish he’d retire but they’ll have to carry him out of there as long as the Democrats control the White House. According to Slate’s ghoulishly delightful Supreme Court Justice Death Calculator, there is only a 10.17% chance that Thomas will kick the bucket by 2017, so he’ll probably wait another 7 years til opening his yap/bazoo/piehole again. You’re probably asking yourself how the late, great-and stolid even while alive-Who bassist … Continue reading Clarence Thomas Meets John Entwistle

And other family-friendly amusements at Glenn Beck’s new Rand-Land: Glenn believes that he can bring the heart and the spirit of Walt’s early Disneyland ideas into reality. Independence, USA wouldn’t be about rides and merchandise, but would be about community and freedom. The Marketplace would be a place where craftmen and artisan could open and run real small businesses and stores. The owners and tradesmen could hold apprenticeships and teach young people the skills and entrepreneurial spirit that has been lost in today’s entitlement state.

The Lutheran Insulter

Peter Adrastos Athas

I’m preternaturally fond of old school insult comedians. I worship at the feet of Rickles and even remember Fat Jack E Leonard with distressing fondness. Insult comedians, however, tend to be Jewish but Martin Luther-you know the dude who nailed that list thing to the door of a church-was the original one. He may, in fact, be the only known German comedian of his era.<rim shot> Click on this LINK to get dissed. Here are a few choice samples of Luther’s career as a proto-Mr. Warmth: You stink like devilish filth flung into Germany. You are dumber than Seriphian frogs … Continue reading The Lutheran Insulter
