The Impossible ... Happened:
Enjoy. I was seven going on eight at the time. I don’t remember seeing the game. I do remember everyone talking about it and the excitement and patriotism that swept through the nation.

Wednesday, February 10, 2010Miss me yet???
by AlexinCT
Just after one year of “Hope and Change” it looks like people are wising up that they got sold the same bill of loser collectivist goods of the Carter years, and pining for those bad days they told us we had when republicans were in charge. As reality clashes with fantasy and things like this, this, this, this, this, this, and this keep happening, the democrats continue to pretend that what people want is bigger government, a complete takeover of healthcare - 1/5th of the economy - by that big government, and a massive migration from jobs in the private sector to a fraction of the number of jobs lost there in the public sector. And that doesn’t tackle the complete collapse of the AGW scam which wanted to expand the government take over globally and other such stupid ideas. At least Clinton was smart enough to be saved by a republican takeover of congress in 2004. I doubt Obama, a true believer, will be able to make the same connections. After all, he was told he was the messiah and could walk on water. As I said before, a few years of the democrats in power would be enough to make many see the light. I just didn’t think it could take but one year for that to happen. I could not believe that the democrats were really this inept and stupid, but they are hard at work proving me both right and wrong. Democrats are good at manipulating the news, with help of the complicit MSM, to attack their opponents when they are in power. Unfortunately now that they are in power, even with massive help covering up for them by the MSM, they can’t hide how inept they are. Reality has a way of destroying most collectivist fantasies, and what is happening isn’t anything new. The fun thing is that I get to bring out my latest find, a poster on some highway in the Mid West that tells the story better than anything else:
Give it time. The numbers are getting bigger and bigger, and all but the most hard core leftists are agreeing that for all his faults, and he had them believe me, Bush was heads and shoulders a better president than the current community organizer in chief….

Tuesday, February 09, 2010Now this is what I call charity…
by AlexinCT
All of us know the people of Haiti are suffering, but some are doing more about it than others:
Now, I am not surprised to see the name Soprano as the manager of a strip joint - it would have been kharmic if it was called Badabing - and I am glad they raised money to help the unfortunate. Maybe they can take it a step further, and take the dances to the poor people of Haiti. After all, after Katrina, one of the biggest morale boosters was the $2K government credit cards so many used to get themselves some lap dances. Lap dances work....

If a private company did..
by AlexinCT
This, the government would screw them over. What’s the “this” in this case?
I worked in the health insurance industry and such a mistake by a private company could cost them as much as $250K per incident. How are the bureaucrats in Cali reacting to their gross incompetence?
These people will be lucky if they get a free credit report, and considering Cali’s financial situation, I would not be surprised the state tries to make money of this mistake. Of course, the big lesson here is that these are the people that the left wants you to believe will do a better job running our healthcare too. I am sure they can also pawn the blame off on some unamed “vendor” when they hose us over.

Friday, February 05, 2010HEY NOW!
by AlexinCT
Looks like the people that produce American Idol know how to capitalize on controversy. I have to admit I don’t watch any reality TV. If I recall correctly the first reality show was Survivor. My wife wanted me to watch it with her. 15 minutes into it I told her I had had enough. She asked why and I told her that a show called Survivor was a joke unless the morning after the first night spent wherever the camera panned to a bloody and battered survivor cooking some jerky over a fire after a hard night of making sure there was no one left standing, asking for his booty. Not this stupid stuff. If we are going to do the whole bread and circus thing to distract the masses, I want it to be done like the Romans did. I doubt that even Howard will make me want to watch this brain damaging stuff though.

Wednesday, February 03, 2010Drugs are bad… hmmmm-kay
by AlexinCT
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about this.
A dude from San Fran, drugs, and pants being dropped on a plane. Go figure. At least he didn’t have explosive underwear.

Tuesday, February 02, 2010My obligatory “I am going to have fun making fun of dog” post on the O’Keefe incident.. Part 2
by AlexinCT
Hey dog, check this out, and please let me know what you think:
I give you three guesses, and the first two don’t even need to count. Looks like O’Keefe and Breibart are going to do exactly what they did with the whole ACORN thing yet again: let the left hang themselves with their idiocy and lies. All that glee about how O’Keefe got caught and now was discredited - somehow in the mind of morons making the fact that ACORN is on giant shadow crime syndicate operated to helm democrats break laws and screw our citizens – and the convictions handed out by the same MSM that always claims they want to wait until after they have the facts only when the perp is a democrat, and then too often just ignoring the story, is now gone. The usual morons are left with egg on their face. Now we will get some serious spin on why the government should hold on to O’Keefe’s tape, followed by some “unlikely accident” that destroys it to avoid its release is my guess, but no apologies or admissions that the left has yet again been caught doing the things they, practically always falsely, accuse others of doing. Hey dog, looks like your side will have to manufacture another story to try and bring O’Keefe down, and hope you can taint him enough to pretend he has not exposed criminal behavior yet again. I hope O’Keefe sues these screwballs and makes one heck of a media circus out of this. Maybe Holder can just tell the DOJ to make the case go away just like he did for ACORN, in the Black Panther voter intimidation case, and like he will soon do in the case of KSM and the other blowhards they wanted to show trial in NYC, and save you some face.

Tuesday, January 26, 2010Finally, Something We Can All Agree On
by Hal_10000
I think all of us, liberal and conservative, Republican or Democrat, tea partier or tea drinker can agree that banning the dictionary is pretty stupid.
This has rapidly become the most popular story on the internet. And for good reason. We all know that no kid in the history of the United States would know what oral sex is without those God-damned dictionaries! This is really an attack on the proud and glorious tradition of looking up dirty words (there’s a great line about this in Blackadder III. For me, my lingering memory of the school dictionary comes from fifth grade. We had just started sex ed and I had missed the first couple of days with the flu. I was hanging out in the library before classes started and my friends were looking up words and giggling. Strange to say, it was a bit of a thrill to look up the word “uterus”. Nowadays, of course, you can simply type “uterus” into your search engine and know more about them than even the most ardent teenage boy would ever want to know.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010Mutation? What? No claim of sheeploving?
by AlexinCT
Man, Pradva sure is letting us down with this story about the human headed sheep. I prefer the olden days when the paper was replete with commie fantasies. At least then they would have pointed out how those backward Turkish sheppards likely had carnal knowledge of the animals in their care, and this is a product of that union. But if this is a mutation one wonders what it means. Are sheep a few million years down the road going to have human heads? Will that make them more attractive to their herders or less?

Monday, January 11, 2010And thus it begins anon
by AlexinCT
Well, with the entire AGW ClimateGate scandal wrecking the collectivist’s global world government agenda, and the coldest winter in a real long time rearing it’s ugly head, killing people in Europe, and people, citrus, and tropical farmed fish in the Southern US, even the UN is now forced to switch gears, admit there now is cooling, and even point to the possibility of a coming mini ice age! Soon they will blame man for that problem (maybe even try to convince us that CO2 is behind it all), tell us we need to allow them to form a global government to redistribute wealth and restrict our freedoms, while they fly in private jets to special functions where they eat caviar, drink champagne, and discuss our impending doom, and threaten us with ice world otherwise. After all, the calamity is just the means to an end. In the mean time we are still being promised more of the same tripe from the same idiots with the same agenda. One would be inclined to believe we were spared at least one royal screwing by whatever divine entity chose to derail these collectivists and their plans. Maybe Gaia got tired of all the stupidty and evil done in her name? Heh!

by Hal_10000
It’s funny cuz it’s true. How they became the Blog of Record is a mystery to me. Occasionally, HuffPo has something useful—usually cribbed from other sites. But the bullshit to content ratio is astronomical.

I’m bored to tears with the Tiger Woods thing. I have my hands full maintaining my own family; I don’t have time to worry about some rich idiot’s. But this Wanda Sykes skit (can’t embed) made me giggle.

Wednesday, December 30, 2009The Decadal Open Thread
by Hal_10000
I’ll have a post up at some point looking back over the year and the decade. But for now, use this thread to post any of your thoughts. We’re already getting some fun stuff. Here’s Reason:
Reason is, of course, being sarcastic. Cracked, continuing its push for the Third Best Magazine on the Planet, goes over the last century and concludes the 00’s were the 7th worst decade (they also review overlooked celebrity deaths). My thinking is probably more in line with Gene Healy. It’s stupid to confuse government incompetence and media hysteria with well-being. The world is far wealthier, healthier and more peaceful than it was ten years ago. Crime has continued to fall as has teen pregnancy. We are living longer and healthier. It’s easy to lose site of that. I’ll post up more decade look-backs as I find them. Update: A fun series of nested posts starting with Ta-Nehisi argues that Crash was the worst movie of the decade. I wouldn’t go that far but it was very over-rated.

Friday, December 18, 2009Geekyness turns women off from big money careers. Blame the geeks!
by AlexinCT
Get ready to have mandatory thresholds for how many women must be in any computer [science] department and a massive campaign to force computer geeks to change, because according to this SeeBS article, computer geeks and their style are responsible for keeping too many women out of the field.
Don’t expect anyone to point out that in this case it is these idiot women that have allowed stereotypes and what should be meaningless and irrational emotions affect their decision and choices, in a very negative way I should add, because the culprits are always the guys. In this case even the geeky guys. If anything, the lesson here should have been that women are just as prone, if not even more so, to real dumb decisions as guys are. I bet these yentas flock to environments where such idiotic ideas as all the reality shows crowding our TV bandwidth these days flourish though. Once reality smacks them in the face they can always opt to work for a pimp.
