You might remember this post by Outlaw of a douchebag bailing out on a foul ball while his date got hit with the ball. I invite said douchebag to watch this. This lady falls out of the saddle and gets right back up.

It Saves on Rohypnol

A man whose girlfriend has broken up with him has bought a $15,000 sex doll that is just — mostly — like her.

The 50-year-old man took a collection of snapshots of his ex and told adult toy maker Diego Bortolin: “I want it just like her but with bigger boobs.”

Diego – who refuses to name the punter – creates super realistic sex dolls at the factory behind his shop Tentazioni, or Temptations, in Treviso, Italy.

He explained: “She was a smiling blonde girl but he wanted bigger boobs and a curvier backside.”

“Our normal dolls are very realistic and everything works just like the real thing.

“This one was more expensive because we had to replicate everything, right down to the shape of her nails and teeth.

Diego defended his actions saying: “Some people say it is kinky but she is now the perfect girlfriend as far as I can see.”

Can you see that just down the road? Squint a little… you can just make out the end of Western civilization.

That One, Small Extra Yopp…

Rufus — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:54:48 +0000

There are a lot of reasons the folks who attended Glenn Beck’s 8/28 rally attended. Many are fans of Glenn Beck’s radio and television programs. Many are active in the tea party movement. But I think most, and an immense number who were not there, are like the Whos in Dr. Seuss’ book, “Horton Hears a Who.”

Our country has never been monolithic. America has seen immense change in its brief history and that change occurred at a breakneck pace. When George Washington died in 1799 the fastest way to travel was horseback. Neither information nor material objects could move from point A to point B any faster than about 15 miles an hour, the same limit that existed when Alexander the Great died, the same limit that existed when Julius Caesar died and the same limit that existed when Moses died. George Washington’s world was not very different from Julius Caesar’s. Gunpowder had changed warfare a bit, and printing presses made copying information much, much easier…

But aside from those two things not much was different. A man born in the U.S. in 1799 could have lived to see steam locomotives capable of carrying tens of tons of people, goods and information at speeds up to 100mph and a rail system that spanned the nation. A man born in 1799 could have lived to see telegraph wires that could convey news from Washington D.C. to Pittsburgh, PA in fractions of a second. A woman born when that man died could have lived to see airplanes that could transport people and goods around the world in less than a day. She lived to see automobiles manufactured by the thousands each day. Automobiles so inexpensive most all Americans could afford one and roads so good almost anyone could drive one. Transatlantic cables that allowed the President of the U.S. to speak to the Prime Minister of the UK in real time. That woman would turn on a television and watch U.S. soldiers fighting in Asian jungles, live, as it happened. That woman would pick up a phone in her home and in seconds be connected by voice with any human she knew, anywhere on the globe.

Such tremendous change is almost unfathomable in such a brief period of time. Consequently most Americans haven’t spent a lot of time focused on their government. Most Americans have an appreciation for their country and many, many Americans have studied the Constitution, the Founding fathers and the Revolutionary war. Many Americans have a deep-rooted appreciation for the system of checks and balances our nation is built on; the balance of power between the federal government and the states, and, most importantly, the freedoms and liberties guaranteed by our founding documents. Many Americans have even sworn an oath to uphold the principles set forth in those documents. And, most Americans are nice people. Live and let live types. We’ve been busy building cotton gins and Model Ts and semi-automatic rifles and computers and space shuttles and fizzy soda drinks and hamburgers and amusement parks and movies and rollerblades and video games and q-tips and tiny radio communication devices we can fit in our pockets and purses. And we’ve freed Europe from tyrants (twice in less than half a century!), freed parts of Asia and the Middle East. We’ve been busy. Very, very busy.

The balance of power has tipped more towards a strong, centralized, federal government than most Americans want. It’s been a long, slow slide but the aggravation is nothing new. Each new federal bureaucracy has come with reduced liberty and a de-emphasis on local and personal governance. But none of the individual steps has been so severe it warranted revolt. I loathe the fact that when I form an agreement with another private party to perform work at a set fee the federal government takes a portion of my wages before I even see them. The U.S. government literally takes a portion of my labor. But is the 16^th amendment worth storming the Bastille over? How about the EPA? The Department of Education? Socialized medicine? Borrowing money from future generations to dole out to present day retirees? If one Congress enacted all these things in one weekend there would be revolt, but it’s been gradual. Social security has existed my entire life. Federal income tax has existed my entire life. The EPA and Department of Education were enacted before I was old enough to vote.

Our nation has been like that dust speck that Horton noticed while bathing in the jungle of Nool. We’ve all been so busy we’ve hardly had time to notice our government’s abysmal job keeping us aloft. It’s five minutes to midnight and we’re headed for the pool and those of us paying attention know this, but what can we do? We’re good people. We’re not selfish people. I’m all for social security to help widows, orphans and the disabled, but taking money from my pay to give to wealthy retired folks? I’m against it. I’m against the federal government telling my local schools how to educate. And on, and on, and on. But what to do?

Maybe Glenn Beck is the mayor of Whoville. If we just shout, all of us at the same time, they might hear us. Surely if they knew we are here, understood we are here, they would right our course and we wouldn’t have to fall into the water. Many of us, many, many of us understand what our founders understood; a nation with an overly powerful central government cannot last and, despite its longevity, men and women will cease to be free. Some of our leaders, too many of them, do not understand and are steering us into the drink. We don’t want to see our dust speck perish from this Earth. We are willing to fight for our freedom, but we don’t want to fight our neighbors. And it doesn’t have to be. The difficult work has already been done. We’ve got the Constitution. We’ve won our freedom from tyranny. Amazing people have taken the difficult steps, done the hard work and bequeathed this to us. All we have to do is follow the map and not steer towards the pool. But the men and women at the helm won’t read the map. Like all of us, they’re busy too. How do we get them to notice?

“we are here, We are Here, WE ARE HERE…”

The Summer of George

Outlaw13 — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:31:11 +0000

Fans of the TV show Seinfeld might remember the episode called, “The Summer of George” where reoccurring character George Costanza spends the severance money he received from his former employer, the New York Yankees on shall we say questionable things, with his summer ultimately ending with him in the hospital.

James Taranto in a column for the WSJ describes a summary sent in by a reader named Daniel Lomis where he compares “The Summer of George” to “Recovery Summer”…Seinfield and another George might just come out ahead.

By JAMES TARANTO
Reader Daniel Loomis sends along his capsule summary of “The Summer of George,” the eighth-season finale of “Seinfeld,” which aired May 15, 1997: “George uses his severance from the Yankees to stimulate the perfect summer–the ‘Summer of George’–but spends it playing frolf (frisbee golf), watching ‘The White Shadow,’ ‘investing’ in a recliner with a built-in refrigerator, taking midmorning naps, banging his head on tables, and having insignificant telephone conversations. Eventually, he ends up in the hospital having to relearn to walk.”

And here is Loomis’s capsule summary of “The Summer of Recovery,” the finale of the first full season of “Obama,” a midseason replacement that premiered to hype and high ratings but is now struggling and may face cancellation: “Barack uses his trillion dollar stimulus to create the best summer ever–the ‘Recovery Summer’–but wastes hundreds of billions on things like studies on how cocaine affects monkeys, investigating the link between yoga and hot flashes, bus-stop art, international ant research, and an upgrade to the statehouse and political offices in Topeka, Kan. Eventually, the economy ends up barely ambulatory.”

There are other parallels. Like “Seinfeld,” “Obama” is a show about nothing. Like George Costanza, Barack Obama is ending his summer with a fall, albeit a figurative plunge rather than a literal one. Oh, and Obama’s “Summer of Recovery” has actually turned out to be a summer of George, though we don’t mean Costanza…

Uncle Sam: Enough With the Huddled Masses! (Classic Threedonia)

Floyd — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:03:11 +0000

That green broad in New York asked for huddled masses. That’s all well and good, but I want you to remember the last part of that sentence too… “yearning to be FREE.” Not as in FREE school lunches, FREE housing bailouts, et al. There are no free rights or free things — only free people and even that is conditional on human nature and a few unchanging principles. Within those boundaries… you have FREEdom, liberty… the opportunity and the ability to think and do for yourselves… to use your God-given talents to make your way in this world. The liberty to take from the fruits of your labor and help those less fortunate or less abled, but still working hard nonetheless. You have the freedom to succeed — to allow your children to surpass you in opportunity and wealth. You have the freedom to worship or not worship, to explore ideas for your entire life or to lock yourself in an ideological box early on. Those things are not free — you are free to do or not do them.

Freedom brings with it the freedom to fail. You are or should be, free to be a fool and lose your house. You are free to quit smoking, to quit eating out so much, to quit running up your credit cards, to quit going on 2-week vacations you can’t afford, to quit voting Democrat or Republican because you’ve always done so, to quit equating all violence with hatred or all religion with science-phobia. In fact, you are free to stop voting if you use your free time to do nothing — especially read and contemplate books. You are free to stop dressing your daughters as whores and to stop emasculating your sons. You’re free to tart up your daughter or pussify your son too, but the rest of us are free to not pay for your grandchild or your son’s AIDS cocktail on government health plans. You’re free to pay for your own damn embryo destroying “research”. You should be free to not have to pay for “research” that holds out little hope and results in the devaluing of human life. Devalue your own life — you are free to do so. You are free to stay wretched refuse if you choose. You are free to not recognize the boundaries on human freedom written on the heart, but that failure usually leads to forfeiture of the freedoms you do have so tread lightly

You are also free to choose life, liberty, and to pursue Happiness. As that most important of our foundational documents says, “I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity… I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants….”

Quit huddling in masses. Get up! You are free to live — NOT LIVE FOR FREE. It’s not enough to BE free you have to STAY free — yearn for it. “Free” has very little, if anything to do with monetary value. It has everything to do with inherent value.

You have rights — inalienable rights. I can’t take them away from you, but you are free to give them away — the ultimate freedom. Use your freedom wisely — once it’s given away getting it back is nigh impossible and is damn sure costly. Choose life — choose liberty.
