Woo hoo NFL season!!! Finally we get a real sport again.
On a side note is anyone else tired of being threatened by Islamist?
Burn the Koran, incite violence
Draw a cartoon of Muhammed, incite violence
Let kids name a pet Muhammed, incite violence
Southpark has Muhammed in a bear suit, incite violence
Support Israel, incitie violence
Move the ground zero mosque, incite violence
Honestly the list of things that wouldn’t drive them to violence would be shorter.
I found Rauf’s comments about moving the mosque very telling. It’s not a slippery slope, it’s a cliff!
Nobody asked them to build the mosque. The mosque is extraneous and unnecessary. They bring it up, then, if we oppose, we are the ones inciting violence. Rinse and repeat until Sh’ria is the law of the land.
Blessedly, there are more “Harry Browns” in the US than in ever-descendingly-lame England. Yes, the movie’s even more amazing than I thought it would be.
I thought so too. It’s not like we were asking them to move an existing mosque we were simply asking him not to build it there. Is this how it will work now they do something, we ask them to stop, they say we’re inciting violence. It’s kind of like someone punching you in the face and when you fight back they accuse you of picking a fight.
I’ve noticed this for years. In political reporting, it’s always the radicals, with bizarre new ideas they want to impose on others, who are the “moderates.” The people who want to live as they always have are “injecting hate into the discussion.”
In religious reporting, liberals, no matter how novel and unheard-of their ideas, are called the moderates. The people who want the church to just preach the faith once delivered to the saints are “trouble-makers, stirring up division.”
I compare it to a US cavalry officer in the 1880s saying, “You know, the West used to be a nice peaceful place, until all these Indians moved in and started stirring up trouble.”
Sam’l Clemens nailed this with his “declension of an adjective”: I’m steadfast, you’re stubborn, he’s a muleheaded sonofa@#$*!.
The side the media/reporter favors is always granted default moderate status, is presumptively reasonable in its demands and is the soul of good judgment. The opposition is default reactionary and opposed to compromise. As if there can be compromise between the wolf and the sheep.
All right here is some comedy gold to start everyone’s morning in poetry form:
Sister Joan, age 54, ignores the desert sun,
The stranded church bus smoking, no sign of anyone.
Buzzards circle overhead, panic starts to set.
The kids are getting restless, her habit soaked with sweat.
The minutes become hours, she wobbles in the heat.
Then, a distant engine roars, approaching from the East.
She squints through horn-rimmed glasses, her pure heart skips a beat.
Snake McGinty’s Harley Hog, parts the dusty heat.
Black leather-clad from head to toe, his eyelids barely open,
Sister Joan says, “Holy Ghost, please tell me that you’re joking.”
He parks his bike, stands six foot four, then gives her a nod.
Through leather pants his manhood shows, she rolls her eyes at God.
“Havin’ trouble?”, he barely mumbles. “Yes sir”, she replies.
He pops the hood, takes off his shirt, she covers up her eyes.
“Kids”, she says, “Back on the bus. Everyone be good.”
Her fingers part, her eyes take in his reflection off the hood.
She grips her rosary tight with guilt and stares down at her socks.
Her mind protects her vows with God, but her body picks the lock.
He bends to check the fan belt, her nipples say, “Hello”.
Her eyes climb up his leather chaps like a snail with vertigo.
She shuts her eyes and shakes her head, her legs start feeling funny.
“Lord”, she says, “For work like this, I’m making lousy money.”
He shuts the hood, “My name is Snake, I’m wanted in five states.”
She said, “Snake you’re my forbidden fruit, and I need a little taste.”
The kids look on in disbelief. The kiss is slow, then faster.
Cheering rocks the school bus, till she says “Snake let’s ditch these bastards.
As they left, the kids screamed “No”, she turned around and waved.
Her next confession killed a priest and lasted seven days.
For years the scandal rocked the church, but she regained their trust.
She still teaches Sunday school, but she doesn’t drive the bus.
How strange. James Lileks posted a clip of the Bonanza theme today over at his blog, and there were many messages about the show in the comments. I don’t think he was aware of Mr. Dortort’s death. R.I.P.
I just read John Nolte’s piece on the Tonight Show, Louie C.K. and Bristol, Sarah and Trig Palin. I can’t think of the last time I heard an adult speak so vilely on a subject so completely undeserving of his contempt. I remember Floyd posting a piece by the same “comic” on technology.
I don’t know much else about Louie C.K., but based on the clip I just heard from the Opie and Anthony Show posted on Big Hollywood I’ll be sure to take care that the guy never gets a dime of my money. The same goes for Opie and Anthony. I’ve never heard their show, but the fact that they didn’t instantly boot the guy from their show tells me all I need to know about them. I’ve seen one of them (Opie? Anthony?) on “Red Eye” a few times. I don’t know when this take down of Trig Palin took place. I really enjoy Greg Gutfeld and his show, but if he has one of these losers on his show with knowledge of this I’ll lose immense respect for Mr. Gutfeld also.
I really don’t care what these immature losers think of Sarah Palin, or Bristol, for that matter. Sarah and Bristol are adults and they have chosen to make their living in the spotlight. But Louie C.K.’s attack on Trig is completely beyond the pale, even for a comedian. If I were Todd Palin I would definitely have a “discussion” with this imbecile.
Let me restate, I do care what these immature losers think of Sarah and Bristol from the stand point that Sarah and Bristol are women and human beings. The tweets attributed to Louis Szekely are vile enough to convince me the guy is a complete loser, regardless of who he is addressing. The fact that he aims his vitriol at two people who have done nothing to provoke him, likely never even met him, makes him an even bigger loser. What I meant is I don’t need to defend Sarah and Bristol. They are adults choosing to capitalize on their fame, and that will invite statements from imbeciles like this. They can handle the heat.
But what kind of a man says things like this about innocent women? Innocent women and a human being born with a mental handicap? Anyone who employs this ignorant waste of carbon and oxygen or supports his work in any way is no friend of mine. This guy should be completely ostracized from society. When men show themselves to be hostile towards innocents in our society they need to be shunned. This deserves a stern lesson. I will be paying attention to what entertainment outlets continue to support Mr. Szekely and Messrs. Opie and Anthony. Those outlets will not get my money or my eyeballs.
Opie and Anthony are scumbags. They had a guy on their show a few years ago who described how he wanted to rape and beat Condoleeza Rice, in disgusting graphic detail. O & A responded by laughing and egging him on. Easily one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever heard.
Opie & Anthony had a radio show contest where people earned points by doing outrageous things. The ‘winners’ had sex in St. Patrick’s Cathedral on a Holy Day of Obligation.
I’ve heard of Louis CK, but never caught his act. No loss, apparently.

Exactly.

>>NFL Season. We finally get a real sport again.>>
Yeah, enjoy it while they keep it real for ya, too. Said it before, will say it again: college football’s where it’s at. NFL’s nothing but a nice distraction on Sundays.

Ohhhh a shout out to Yelburton Abraham Tittle! Awesome. Morning gents and ladies. I feel like garbage again today but not quite as bad.
May we have a moment of silence to note the passing of David Dortort?

RIP, Mr. Dortort — you brought many a smile to many people.
How strange. James Lileks posted a clip of the Bonanza theme today over at his blog, and there were many messages about the show in the comments. I don’t think he was aware of Mr. Dortort’s death. R.I.P.
Nope. I was wrong. The clip was a response to the death.
Loved High Chaparral

All he’s done is find a way to channel Andrew Dice Clay for lefties. Not original, not funny.
