Itchy and Scratchy are breaking up at the end of the year.
Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Should Republicans be granted endangered species status? From an empirical perspective, we must note their drastically declining numbers. From an ideological perspective, we must note their opposition to the Endangered Species Act. So, how do we reconcile these competing perspectives? Personally, I’d just put a bounty on ’em and give ’em a 10 minute head start.
This is about as significant as a jellyfish dying in the Florida Keys.
@1 Yeah, I think it’s definitely worthwhile to offer incentives for GOP hides before the new administration comes in and begins enforcing environmental restrictions.
I’d like to challenge you to share with us TO WHOM ARE YOU THANKFUL?
Think about it………
We spend all kinds of time saying what we are thankful FOR over Thanksgiving Dinner………but the precurser is THANKFUL TO WHOM?
The Republican party will be stronger. We needed to get our asses whipped too bad it was by deceit of the democrat party,uninformed voters and off shore bank accounts.
The rants by the left on this blog about us is, heartwarming.
Most Republicans never really supported McCain he was your guy glad you won.
Seeing Barry scrambling to find plans that he said he had for two years is hilarious.
Lefties are empty in body,substance and soul.
#5 = Mindless babble.
from the film Billy Madison, 1996.
@6
Liberals are constantly depressed. We should feel sorry for them however,they love it!
LOL!!!
I liked Al Franken’s formulation,
H A N N I T Y and colmes, to describe this show, that what made it work for its audience was the premise that Colmes was a real liberal and that by the end of each debate he could say “yes, boss” and admit that liberalism is wrong yet again. It is the political equivalent of professional wrestling, though Itchy and Scratchy is a good description too.
Michael Hood’s perspective at BlatherWatch.
As he points out, Hannity by himself is too obnoxious to bear. I don’t think he’ll make it without a personal/political foil, with any but the creepiest of the creepy right wing.
Can someone please make sense of and explain comments 5 and 7 to me?
I have printed them out and held them up to a mirror, I have used my Felix the Cat decoder ring, tried crossing my arms and blinking, wiggling my nose and I shouted “Shazam”…..all to no avail.
What am I missing?
Please note that Texas is the only state with
a legal right to secede from the Union . (Reference the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.)
We Texans love y’all, but we’ll probably have to Take action since B. Hussein Obama won the
election. We’ll miss you too.
Here is what can happen:
#1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of
the United States , Texas immediately secedes from the Union .
#2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of Texas .
So what does Texas have to do to survive as a
Republic?
1. NASA is just south of Houston , Texas . We
will control the space industry.
2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the
United States.
3. Defense Industry–we have over 65% of it.
The term “Don’t mess with Texas ,” will take on a whole new meaning.
4. Oil – we can supply all the oil that the
Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.
5. Natural Gas – again we have all we need and
it’s too bad about those Northern States. John Kerry & Barney Fag will have to figure out a way to keep them warm….
6. Computer Industry – we currently lead the
nation in producing computer chips and communications–small companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon,
National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel,
AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Miconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi,
Nortel, Alcatel, etc, etc. The list goes on and on.
7. Medical Care – We have the largest research
centers for cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well as other large health centers. Dallas has some of the best hospitals in the United States .
8. We have enough colleges to keep us going:
University of Texas , Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT (
> > University of North Texas ), Texas Women’s University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South anyway.
9. We have a ready supply of workers. We could just open the border when we need some more.
10. We have essential control of the paper
industry, plastics, insurance, etc.
11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the
Texas National Guard and the Texas Air National
Guard. We don’t have an Army, but since
everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24 hours if we need one. If the situation really gets bad, We can always call the Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over Chuck Norris and a couple of Texas Rangers.
12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef,
poultry, hogs, and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and let’s not forget seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they
taste good. Don’t need any food.
This just names a few of the items that will
keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn’t a thing out there that we need and
don’t have.
Now to the rest of the United States under
President Obama:
Since you won’t have the refineries to get
gas for your cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.
You won’t have any TV as the Space Center
in Houston will cut off satellite communications.
You won’t have any natural gas to heat
your homes, but since Mr. Obama has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from Global Warming.
Just got this e-mail from a buddy in Texas.
He has 25,000 acres….and plenty of room for folks like me. Sounds pretty good….although Texas is mighty hot in the summer.
The Leftist Atheist Progressives shudder when asked TO WHOM ARE THEY THANKFUL?
One of those questions that shows you the emptiness of their lives and the reason they are sooooo angry, vulgar & pathetic.
I suppose they can be thankful to their Mom & Dad. That’s nice….but doesn’t address the abundant blessings they have accumulated.
proud leftist can tell you who he is thankful TO. While we obviously disagree on many things, who we are ultimately thankful TO is a common bond….isn’t it pl??
@4 I’m thankful for Republicans, because after Republican stupidity wipes out their own species, and takes the foxes and peregrine falcons down with them, we rabbits will have this planet to ourselves.
@5 Looks like that stupid mutt is back.
@10 Jane Balogh’s idiot dog under a different name.
@11 Don’t let the door hit your ass on your way out of Montana.
@12 “I suppose they can be thankful to their Mom & Dad. That’s nice….but doesn’t address the abundant blessings they have accumulated.”
Are you referring to abundant blessings like endless war, unemployment, debt, and low wages? Yeah, I suppose we should thank Mom & Dad for that — if they voted Republican. But we should also thank you and all the rest of the unpatriotic anti-worker and soldier-hating un-American Republican goatfuckers for that stuff, too. You’re all responsible for it.
# 11: A couple of years ago I spoke to a fellow from Texas. A big (6’8″) tall Texan, grew up on a ranch, shoulders as big as an ox and twice as strong. He was teaching a hazardous materials seminar (re-certification is required every two years in order to be qualified to handle shipments of potentially hazardous materials).
He thought George W. Bush was the biggest idiot ever produced in the state. He figured having him in the White House at least got him out of the Texas governor’s mansion.
So with George W. Bush as the President of the Republic of Texas, we could expect that he could perform with pretty much the same degree of skill as he did as President of the U.S.
So within a few years, you could expect that, despite the advantages set forth in the memo above, Texas would be encumbered with a ruinous national debt, budget deficits, and a net oil importer, to name just a few of the problems it would be suffering.
By the way, Texas doesn’t have the right to secceed from the Union. The Supreme Court ruled that Texas seccession was unconstitutional, in a case decided after the Civil War (I don’t have the case citation available at my fingertips, sorry).
Besides, even if Texas did have the right to seceed under the original annexation treaty, it gave up that right when it re-applied for admission to the Union during reconstruction.
Now a harder question: If seccession of the southern states was unconstitutional in 1860 & 1861, then how do you legally justify the secession of West Virginia from the state of Virginia in 1862, which was promptly recognized by the Union government?
Trivia: Why did Robert E. Lee think he would be arrested in Texas when Texas secceeded from the Union?
11
I’m all for Texas secession. The Republicans would never again win the presidency without Texas’s electoral votes. Besides, have you ever been there? Houston is a humid shithole, Dallas a hotbed of valueless consumerism. Without air conditioning even cockroaches would move out.
Props to a guy who got it right!!!
http://crooksandliars.com/john.....-was-right
It’s really fun seeing this guy stick to his guns against all the other Faux News phonies.
Great news. Coulter’s jaw wired shut!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....46248.html
Haven’t heard much from her actually in quite a while.
Do me a favor, Texans, and take Oklahoma with you!
@11: Good riddance and take that Moron
Bush with you. If Texans want to make Bush the President again they are even dumber than I thought down there.
Actually, Obama got 44% of the vote in Texas. So it was not a runaway even in Texas. In fact, the only states to go more republican were in Appalachia and Louisiana. Everywhere else people voted more for democrats. Not hard to understand when the economy is falling apart after 8 years of republican Bush.
@11, et. al. – The only reason Colmes couldn’t keep up with Hannity was because the left has very weak arguments, and are without exception, a group of well-meaning, albeit misguided, hypocrits. In an open forum they give nice flowery speeches, and then sucker punch the public with the same old, “do as I say, not as I do” approach. Plus, they are wrong on just about everything.
Ann Coulter’s jaw is wired shut???? There IS a God in Heaven!!!!!!!
@25: Love the way you over-generalize and can’t back up a damn thing you say, hahahahaha
With spokespeople like you and Hannity – the right wing just looks stupid.
The right wing backed Bush – the worst president in history – ’nuff said.
Just like a liberal. You would sit down and talk with ahmablowhardinadinnerjacket and still be vindictive to someone who actually cares about America, even if you don’t agree with her. The left = hate
where would you like to begin? pick a subject.
24: In Appalachia and Lousianna, the economy has been so bad, for so long, that they don’t notice the difference when Bush screwed things up.
I know, I grew up in Eastern Tennessee. At that time, their idea of a “good job” was one that pays the federal minimum wage. The federal minimum wage doesn’t apply to small employers, and the state minimum wage was considerably lower than the federal minimum wage. In high school and college, I got paid $1.65 an hour.
When I moved out to the Seattle area, and they told me I would be paid $15.00 an hour for a part-time job while I was a graduate student, I thought they were kidding me.
Bush is arguably a bad president. perhaps almost as bad as jimmy carter. time will tell. but if gore or kerry was predident these past 8 years, you’ld be speaking farsi right now.
When will the left ever realize it is mot the president, but Congress that holds the pursestrings? barney frank is one culpable finger-pointing culprit who is inextricably involved in the mortgage and lending disaster, originally the child of carter and put into hyperdrive by clinton.
# 31:
1. “Bush is arguably a bad president….”
There’s no room for argument about that. Very few Republicans will even try to defend him. I would say that he’s the worst President we’ve ever had, but Buchannan holds a lot of responsibility for the Civil War, which is a pretty low bar standard to squeeze under. But Bush comes close.
2. “….perhaps almost as bad as Jimmy Carter.”
Nonsense. Carter was far and away a better president than he generally gets credit for, and he doesn’t even deserve to be even compared with Bush. Note that the DJIA growth under four years of Carter was effectively zero, but to date the DJIA has dropped over 20% under Bush. Even David Stockman, Reagan’s first budget director, admitted that the budget would have been balanced within Carter’s second term if his economic and tax policies had been followed. Instead we got Reaganomics, and the budget couldn’t be balanced until 2000 (until Bush screwed it up again).
3. “But if gore or kerry was president these past eight years, you would be speaking Farsi right now.”
Obviously, you are just making this up as you go along. Under Clinton, Iraq and Iran were both contained, each one keeping the other in balance. Now after Bush’s policies, the Iranians have a strong influence over the Shiite government of Iraq. Iraq ended up being a strong recruiting tool which allowed a resurgence of Al Quida, and a stronghold of Al Quida in Iraq which didn’t exist before the March 2003 invasion. Republican policies have made us less safe, not more so.
Here is The Onion’s take on this story:
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/90723
American families are under a great deal of stress. The divorce rate isn’t declining, it’s increasing. And the majority of American women are now living alone. We are raising children in America without fathers. I think of Michael Phelps at the Olympics with his mother in the stands. His father was completely absent. He was negligible; no one refers to him, no one noticed his absence.
The possibility that a whole new generation of American males is being raised by women without men is very challenging for the churches. I think they want to reassert some sort of male authority over the order of things. I think the pro-Proposition 8 movement was really galvanized by an insecurity that churches are feeling now with the rise of women.
Well, I’m working right now in the Middle East on monotheistic religions because I’m very worried about the direction of religion. Ever since Sept. 11, when I heard that prayer being spoken at the moment the planes hit the World Trade Centers, I realized how much darkness there is in religion compared to how much light there is. I am very much concerned with whether or not these religions can be feminized.
The desert religions — Judaism, Christianity and Islam — are male religions. Their perception is that God is a male god and Allah is a male god. If the male is allowed to hold onto the power of God, then I think we are in terrible shape. I think what’s coming out of Colorado Springs right now, with people like Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, is either the last or continuing gasp of a male hierarchy in religion. That’s what’s at stake. And women have a determining role to play. Are they going to go along with this, or are they going to challenge the order?
