This is more of a suburban note but I prefer to confuse y’all whenever it tickles my fancy. Kenner is a rather benighted suburb of New Orleans whose sole claims to fame are that they have drive through Daiquiri stands and it’s the location of Louis Armstrong/Moisant Airport. Pretty much everyone here pronounces this dreary burg’s name “Kenna.” It’s even turned up on some t-shirts made by two local companies. The one at the top of the post is made byDirty Coast and the one below is aFleurty Girl production: Why am I going on about this?The Mayor of Kenner, … Continue reading NOLA Notes: Mayor Of Simpleton

Yeah – I know this was supposed to be a “Putrid Potpourri” edition, but there’s been alarming real-time developments in Freeperville.
You know how every so often a little reality creeps into the eternal ragefest, when they catch themselves during the rage ramp-up and realize they’re being played? This was one of those times. However, the True Believers quickly regroup and counterattack. Suit up, gentle people, because the first offering is –Satanic Butterballs!
Happy Halal Thanksgiving (Boycott Butterball)
American Thinker ^ | November 21, 2011 | Pamela GellerPosted on Monday, November 21, 2011 8:47:27 PM byMount Athos
Did you know that the turkey you’re going to enjoy on Thanksgiving Day this Thursday is probably halal? If it’s a Butterball turkey, then it certainly is.
I discovered that only two plants in the U.S. that perform halal slaughter keep the halal meat separated from the non-halal meat. At other meat-packing plants, animals are slaughtered following halal requirements, but then only a small bit of the meat is actually labeled halal.
Wendy Howze, a Butterball Consumer Response Representative, responded: “Our whole turkeys are certified halal.”
Halal slaughter involves cutting the trachea, the esophagus, and the jugular vein, and letting the blood drain out while saying “Bismillah allahu akbar” — in the name of Allah the greatest. Many people refuse to eat it on religious grounds.
Others object because of the cruelty to animals that halal slaughter necessitates.
Still others refuse to do so on principle: why should we be forced to conform to Islamic norms? It’s Islamic supremacism on the march, yet again.
Non-Muslims in America and Europe don’t deserve to have halal turkey forced upon them in this way, without their knowledge or consent.
The same Islamic law that mandates that animals be cruelly slaughtered according to halal requirements also teaches hatred of and warfare against unbelievers, the oppression of women, the extinguishing of free speech, and much more that is inimical to our freedom. Don’t support it on this celebration of freedom. Join our Facebook group, ‘Boycott Butterball’.
Don’t buy a Butterball turkey for Thanksgiving.

To: Mount AthosToo late. Can I make up for it by passing gas in the direction of Mecca?
To: Mount AthosGee, great idea to demand a Butterball Boycott when most people have already bought their birds. That’s like the TV News showing the wild drinking, drugs and sex binges of Spring break 2 weeks after break has taken place. Boycotts seldom work. And most people won’t care much of a drat where the throat was cut, just as long as the bird isn’t still flapping when being stuffed into the oven.

To: Mount AthosIf you don’t believe in Allah, what difference does it make? Buy Butterball and don’t give away your power. By boycotting you admit it makes a difference.
To: Mount AthosGood grief! Why shouldn’t companies provide food that ethnic customers are willing to purchase? Makes for increased sales and a better bottom line. Why punish a company simply because you don’t like the customer base to which it’s trying to expand?
To: SuziQThis I don’t like.while saying “Bismillah allahu akbar” — in the name of Allah the greatest.
This makes me lose my appetite.
To: DManAIt has been an ancient custom to pray for the animal that’s been sacrificed for your meal. This is not at all peculiar to Moslems. Christian Arabs would traditionally use terminology very similar to that.So, prayer makes you lose your appetite, or Arabic, or the self-identity of the guy making the prayer?
To: DManAIsn’t that the same Mohammedan chant used when they behead Infidels?
To: Mount AthosAnother tidbit on Halal.All and I repeat all of Costco’s lamb is now halal and their Coleman organic chicken.So since we loved the lamb and the organic chicken this is our last year with Costco. We are looking into Sam’s or BJ’s.
It’s too late. You ate the Satanic lamb chops and your family is going to Hell, you baaa-aaaad man.
Most people just think that Halal is like Kosher. It is not. Kosher slaughter is just a way of processing so all of the blood gets out of the meat. Halal is actually a sacrifice. They point that lamb/turkey in the direction of the Black Rock of Mecca and sacrifice it to Allah. We are all Muslims now.

Good morning, gentle people – Herman Cain threads have been accumulating like cobwebs in a Freeper’s PC, so let’s do some catching up. We’ll start out with a recent thread, then go back in time, when the Godfather of Godfather’s was the anchovy in the GOP list of ingredients.
First up, it’s –Losing Dennis Miller!
Dennis Miller withdrew his endorsement of Herman Cain
Wednesday November 16, 2011Posted on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 8:06:25 PM byBigtigermike
On the O’Reilly Factor tonight…Dennis Miller stated “I’m off the Cain Train.” after endorsing him and helping Cain do a few fundraisers a couple of months ago.

To: Politics4USSo when he endorsed Cain you posted not to trust him??
To: ontapSo strange, that a candidate doing so well would just all of a sudden implode like that.
It almost seems like some sort of set-up. Sadly, I wouldn’t doubt if it was.

“Likely”
You thinkk he set himself up? I don’t understand. Do you think it was the Bimbos, the no idea wtf he was talking about or the dawning that he REALLY was in over his head?
Seriously, not trying to be a wise guy…don’t you think it was all of the above that sank him?

He was a liberal.

To: Reagan ManWell, the way I read it, Miller was a “f’ing liberal” for withdrawing his endorsement of Cain. Whatever…
But really, any freeper that gets their opinions from a radio host needs to have their head examined. Why? because its all infotainment. The host is there to sell soap and quite frankly, if that host can no longer sell soap, then they will be replaced with a monkey playing a kazoo—as long as that monkey could push the soap!
When the monkey is no longer up to the task, then they will be replaced with a Moose banging on a cowbell!
And when the moose no longer sells the soap, well then it will be replaced with a goldfish singing tiny bubbles…as long as they sell the soap…

Rick Perry’s ‘truly bizarre’ speech: Was he drunk?
TheWeek.com ^ | October 31, 2011 | TheWeekPosted on Tuesday, November 01, 2011 4:56:27 AM byiowamark
Texas Gov. Rick Perry raised some eyebrows — and questions about his sobriety — with anunusually expressive speech to a conservative group in Manchester, N.H., on Friday. In the speech, Perry ditched his typically reserved style and instead employed “the sort of tics, facial contortions, mimes, and muggings that one would expect from a comic performer,”says Thomas Lane atTalking Points Memo. The media scuttlebutt is largely based on an anonymously posted YouTube compilation of “highlights” from the speech (watch the clip below), but even some in attendance were perplexed. “It was different,” Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas said. AnotherGOP operative said it reminded him of Democrat Howard Dean’s race-ending “scream” in 2004. Perry’s campaign’s response? The speech simply proves that Perry is “passionate about the issues he talks about.”
The reaction: Perry’s performance was “truly bizarre,”says Libby Spencer atThe Impolitic. “He comes off as pretty well drunk. Or drugged.” Yes, and though it’s not a crime to be “pretty publicly lit,” it’s almost certainly bad politics for a presidential hopeful, says Andrew Sullivan atThe Daily Beast. Well, I doubt he’s drunk, says Josh Feldman atMediaite. But his exuberance is “fun to watch.” I bet “Alec Baldwin will appreciate the material for his next Perry impersonation. Look, “we’re not saying that he’sdefinitely drunk,”says Max Read atGawker, “we’re just saying, watch the whole thing” and judge for yourself. Have a look:

To: iowamarkThat is the Obama media being cited there, the all lib&homo media there, so f’m.
To: iowamarkThe audience provided the uncomfortable, sympathetic laugh track. It was only missing circus music.After watching that, you could onlyhope he was drunk. If that’s how he expresses “passion” for issues, as his campaign would have you believe, imagine the potential SOTU addresses.
BTW, it’s probably not a good idea to invoke The Alamo and “victory or death” in a campaign. How’d that work out for those at The Alamo?
To: iowamarkHe definitely looks drunk. His behavior and speech has been radically modified.

To: org.whodatIf you had a speck of decency, you’d be ashamed of your reprehensible comments on Perry threads. Since you don’t and aren’t, we’re left to conclude that your unconscionable vitriol is not simply the result of heated political rhetoric during primary season but is rather part of your character.

To: indylindyI didn’t think he was drunk either…but then I thought if he would have been drunk, he at least might have an excuse. LOLI don’t believe he was drunk either. But if this is how he conducts himself when he is supposedly relaxed then heaven help us all should he ever be confronted with real life problems as a President, like a nuclear crazed despot from say, Pakistan and Iran talking about nuking Israel or even the US! His line then might be something like ‘can’t we all just get along’ (and giggling all the while saying it).

First we have the set-up and then the joke in bold face: “We have nothing against red-haired donors,” explained the agency’s director Ole Schou to msnbc.com Monday. Schou told the Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet that“there are too many redheads in relation to demand. Our stock is about to explode.” Exploding stock, of course, is not a problem you want at your sperm bank. Mary Elizabeth, who is herself a red head, is one of the reasons I’m a fan of Salon.

Our soldiers inflicted an incredible 77.8% casualty rate on the assault element. We eat well tonight.
