Open Thread (Yesterday?)

by — ,

Some combination of my ancient computer being a problem while I type on public transit and how I’m using jokes for the date instead of actual dates this week, and I seem to have somehow posted this into the Open Thread for Monday, and I’m not quite sure how to undo it. So I’m reposting it here, as an open thread. Um, sorry to people who really wanted whatever ephemera I’d posted there.

– I know that there is a large group of the chattering class that hate Seattle passing resolutions. But I think this opposition to the Hyde Amendment is right the fuck on.

– Sad face for Mars Hill.

– I’m not sure I’m qualified to say anything about Ray Rice that goes outside of just cliche. But holy shit, Fox News, shut the fuck up.

– Redmond will fund Overlake Village bike/walk bridge

– We tend to think of activism as an “all-in” sort of affair where one eats, sleeps, and shits the struggle. If you don’t live up to this romanticized notion, you’re a fraud. In reality, many of the people fighting for basic things like access to clean water, good schools, and affordable housing are, in fact, people with lives and families and other responsibilities.

    Of course those dolts work for Fox Snooze. Who else would employ them? It’s either Fox or they don’t work. Even morons have to eat.

    Canada has announced that they have found the remains of one of the two ships from the ill-fated expedition to find the Northwest Passage, by explorer Sir John Franklin. Seems that they are certain, except whether the ship found is either the HMS EREBUS or HMS TERROR.

    Meanwhile Kentucky Alison’s wheels on the bus need checking? http://thehill.com/blogs/ballo.....sE.twitter

    Paying lower than market rate? You mean she isn’t paying at least $15/hour?

    Of course raising all of that out-of-state $millions in campaign donations is A-OK because she’s a DUMMOCRETIN and those actions are overlooked when you are a DUMMOCRETIN. It only counts to HA DUMMOCRETINS if you are Scott Walker and a Republican!

    The ends always justifies the means right Worf?

    DAYUM, speaking about Scott Walker… This is very interesting… http://www.jsonline.com/news/o.....76741.html

    Seems Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisolm’s wife Colleen, is a fanatical anti-Walker agitator. Partisanship by DUMMOCRETINS? Noooooooooo way! http://legalnewsline.com/news/.....sider-says

    PuddyCommentary: There is so much good stuff there it’s hard to hijack any two paragraphs! The evil of partisan DUMMOCRETINS!

    The ends always justifies the means right Worf?

    It wasn’t enough that the personality disordered individual who plays “Puddybud” got his ass kicked yesterday….

    …he’s back for more today.

    I think a fun ‘running gag’ on open threads would be a goof on Jeff Foxworthy’s, ‘You know you’re a redneck’ jokes. Only it would be a ‘You know you’re a Republican’ series of jokes.

    For instance: You know you’re a Republican when you think that global corporations should be free to do whatever they want but Pat Robertson should be able to tell you what you can and can’t do in your own bedroom.

    FACTS ruPRICK FACTS!

    You always miss FACTS!

    You know you are Republican when you shut every Abortion Clinic in the State but then have to send your Daughter on a plane to get one somewhere else.

    Smith County, Mississippi, district attorney Daniel Jones told NBC News that Timothy Jones believed his children were plotting to kill him. The deceased range in age from one to eight years old.

    You know you are a DUMMOCRETIN when you get your news from HuffPo and run with it! The empty tea bag has something up the puffed butt.

    YOU MORON, the employer mandate was delayed. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/.....-2015.html

    Golly puffed butt you’d think you’d know something before rattling your DUMMOCRETIN Cage!

    You know you’re a republican when you call yourself a patriot while simultaneously refusing to pay your taxes, spouting anti-government rhetoric and open carrying in a shopping mall.

  19. 19

    You know you’re a republican when you demand that English be the official language of the nation, even though you’re illiterate in English.

  20. 20

    You might be a conservative if…
    You’ve tried to argue that poverty could be abolished if we got rid of the minimum wage
    You’ve ever referred to someone as “my (insert racial or ethnic minority here) friend”
    You’ve ever tried to prove Jesus was a capitalist and opposed to welfare.
    You’re a pro-lifer, but support the death penalty.
    You don’t let your kids watch Sesame Street because you suspect Bert and Ernie of “sexual deviance.”
    You scream “Dit-dit-ditto” while making love.
    You argue that you need 300 handguns, in case a bear ever attacks your home.
    You’ve ever called education a luxury.
    You’re afraid of the “liberal media.”
    You’ve ever called the National Endowment for the Arts a bunch of pornographers.
    You think all artists are gay.
    You ever told a child that Oscar the Grouch “lives in a trash can because he is lazy and doesn’t want to contribute to society.”
    You’ve ever urged someone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, when they don’t even have shoes.

    Douche Bag @17 – I’ll admit I didn’t even read the article, don’t have time, I only read the Title of the Article. Which indicates that Insurance cost to private employers hasn’t gone up.

    Wasn’t the fear from Republicans that the implementation of Obamacare would raise rates on private accounts? Well just because the employer mandate hasn’t been implemented, it appears that what has been implemented hasn’t done what every Republican fear monger has said it would do. Are you suggesting that the reason this hasn’t happened yet is because the fears spread by Republicnas was with respect to just the employer mandate.

    See Post 15 you big Ape.

  22. 22

    @17 – just took the time to read the article.

    Now I know you are even dumber then dumb, responding the way you did. Article has nothing to do with the Employee Mandate. Unless your smartness can forecast that the Employee Mandate is what truly is going to raise the cost of healthcare for everyone else. More doom and gloom.

    Have another Banana.

  23. 23

    @21 “Wasn’t the fear from Republicans that the implementation of Obamacare would raise rates on private accounts?”

    Not really. What really gave Republicans nightmares was that Obamacare might be successful and people might like it.

  24. 24

    @7 And we suppose the juries that convicted half a dozen of his associates were all bribed by the corrupt district attorney’s wife?

  25. 25

    My wife just asked me if Puddy gets paid for his posting. I told her Puddy is too stupid to get paid for this. She responded, “True, he doesn’t act like an operative. He behaves like someone who craves attention.”

  26. 26

    @23 yes, true, that was their internal fear, kind of like being homophobes. I was refering to their projection of fears on the American people, especially the dumb ones.

  27. 27

    The provision only applies to employers who have 50 or more employees, Emanuel said. He estimated that there are 200,000 total employers in the U.S. impacted and that “94 percent already offer health insurance” to employees.

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/.....-2015.html

    So what is the troll screaming about? The 6 percent of employers playing skinflint with their employees?

    Wow what a champion of the working class our idiot troll. Who knew?

  28. 28

    What is the monomaniacal crazed cretin spouting now? Puddy has no idea!

  29. 29

    So the empty tea bag admits reading is not the puffed butt forte, just see a headline and throw it up!

    Well touche puffed butt. Glad that corn cob is working well. Race tracks anyone?

  31. 31

    Roger NoBalls IDIOT Wabbit,

    Puddy will NOT put forth what Mrs Puddy thinks of most of y’all here! It’s appropriate language for explaining DUMMOCRETINS!

    BTW, it’s one of the words Puddy calls you that’s capitalized!

  32. 32

    What is the HA HERO YLB speaking intelligently about now?

    Everyone here knows you’re too much of an idiot to figure it out.

  33. 33

    Worf poor little worf…

    Puddy writes in EBONICS on HA DUMMOCRETINS because Oakland School District promoted it back in the 1990s. When Puddy writes technical manuals, guides and other public publications for Puddy’s job Puddy uses the King’s English. Don’t like it… suck it as they say on WWE!

    Sux to be you worf!

  34. 34

    A “hero” in it’s own mind @32!

    Tooooooooooooo laughable monomaniacal crazed cretin!

    Named monomaniacal by another libtard over the crazed databaze!!!!

    HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR!

  35. 35

    @23 yes, true, that was their internal fear

    Even when Roger NoBalls IDIOT Wabbit corrects the puffed butt, the stonesless one still disagrees!

    So puffed butt,
    – Why did all those health care letters go out with raised rates for 2014?
    – Why did Obummer delay the healthcare mandate for employers with over 50 employees until 2015; after the 2014 erections?
    – Why is Kay Hagan in so much trouble in North Carolina over her “Golly I didn’t know” stoooooooopidity regarding those raised rates letters?
    – Why is Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor trying to change the debate over his opponent’s military record and not over Pryor’s jack boot goose step yes votes on Obummercare?
    – Why are you so ignorant of many things puffed butt with no stones in the tea bag?

    Stooooooooooopid like the typical DUMMOCRETIN interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel demonstrating low information voters like you puffed butt!!! Butt they will step in fetch it and vote DUMMOCRETIN because they know eventually they can get free or lower cost marijuana or other free things from the government. Just like that Florida voter who claimed Obummer was gonna give her free gas! That was priceless!

  37. 37

    Named monomaniacal

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

    What would would that liberal name someone who said this?

    Wow, Obama only getting 66% of the Jewish vote in FL. Kerry got 80% – Phillip Klein.

    Chuck Todd: Both sides now expect Romney to win Florida – Mediaite!

    Puddy said Jewish vote would be key! Y’all pooh pooh’d Puddy!

    Thanks for all the ‘You know you’re a Republican’ jokes. I’m going to put them all on my Facebook page to ‘piddly-widdly’ off all of my conservative relatives.

    re 17 — As a part of your ‘humor recovery’ program, I’m prescribing a daily listen to Alice Cooper’s, ‘Hey Stoopid!’ for the next 20 days.

  42. 42

    Hmmm does Obummer have a soft spot for the Taliban? http://shadow.foreignpolicy.co.....he_taliban

    But his stance towards the Taliban has always been softer. In March 2009 he said “There is an uncompromising core of the Taliban. They must be met with force, and they must be defeated. But there are also those who’ve taken up arms because of coercion, or simply for a price. These Afghans must have the option to choose a different course.” In Dec. 2009, he was even more circumspect. While maintaining his pledge to “defeat” al Qaeda, he only said of the Taliban, “We must reverse the Taliban’s momentum and deny it the ability to overthrow the government.” In May 2012, Obama said, “our goal is not to build a country in America’s image, or to eradicate every vestige of the Taliban.”

  43. 43

    Ohhh ruPRiCK…

    Why do you hate inner city black children?

  44. 44

    @29 is that all you got out of my comments

    YEP, Nuthin but vacuous gaseous excretions!

  45. 45

    Puddy, from your postings on funding and politics, you don’t care about inner city black children. Why don’t you care about gay parents and gay teens?

  46. 46

    Puddy would rather have an M1A2-Abrams Tank… 60 MPH with a turret.

  49. 49

    worser,

    Still batting 1.000 in stoooooooooopidity. Does Puddy support the NEA or AFT? Nope YOU DOPE! Puddy came from the inner city. Puddy knows what it’s like!

    Puddy is for school vouchers and charter schools. ruPRICK likes the status quo. ruPRICK likes the NEA and AFT running inner city schools for their benefit not the inner city school child.

    You are still a moron and stoooooooooooopid as ever. Still batting 1.000 in stoooooooooopidity.

  50. 50

    ruPRICK still batting .995 with nuthin to say again! Empty vacuous commentary from the ruPRICK!

    A gay player in the NFL is a distraction. . You have to love what they are going thru now, big scandal!

  53. 53

    Apparently the schizophrenic bag lady of the Internet thinks she’s speaking Ebonics. What a racist bag lady.

  54. 54

    I know an Army recruiter who would love to discuss that option with you. Should I set up the two of you for a meet over coffee?

    Contractors: ‘He Had His Hands Up’

    “Two men, shocked at what they saw, describe an unarmed teenager with his hands up in the air as he’s gunned down by a police officer. They were contractors doing construction work in Ferguson, Missouri, on the day Michael Brown was shot dead. …

    “‘He had his f**n hands up,’ one of the men says in the video. … ‘The cop didn’t say get on the ground. He just kept shooting,’ the man said. … The other contractor told CNN he saw Brown running away from a police car. Brown ‘put his hands up,’ the construction worker said, and ‘the officer was chasing him.’

    “The contractor says he saw Wilson fire a shot at Brown while his back was turned. The construction workers said they don’t live in Ferguson and don’t know the Brown family, but their account squares with accounts from several other witnesses ….”

    http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/10/.....?hpt=hp_c2

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Sounds damning. If these witnesses are being truthful the cop committed murder.

  56. 56

    @55
    Yes, I saw that report in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

    Quite damning.

    Surprising? Not at all.

  57. 57

    Here is something from the NY Times that’s very shocking… http://www.nationalreview.com/.....al-reasons

    Puddy been saying this for years. Politics. Optics. Legacy!

    Remember when libtard DUMMOCRETINS charged President GW Bush with “overstating” the case for War in Iraq? Obummer claims he was erected to end wars. So Obummer pulls out prematurely from Iraq over the Pentagon generals objections!

    Remember when libtard DUMMOCRETINS charged President GW Bush with “overstating” the threat of terrorism? Remember the monomaniacal freakazoid crazed cretin and other moronic libtards, screamed terraists, terraists? Well we just saw Obummer back track tonight! More troops in Iraq?

    This is probably poll driven. Watch how often Obummer talks about this in the future!

  59. 59

    Wow another admission… http://dailycaller.com/2014/09.....ars-video/

    But as the MSNBC host ticked off the guests — including former Clinton aide Sandy Berger, longtime Democratic adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and former Democratic congresswoman Jane Harman — she couldn’t help but notice a trend.

    “It looks like a review of our guest list here at ‘Andrea Mitchell Reports,’” she said. “Julie, why did the president finally reach out and bring in all of these different voices on foreign policy?”

  60. 60

    @ 58, 59

    Parroting a standard issue lie does not lend that falsehood any greater level of plausibility.

    I think you know this, but you really don’t care.

  63. 63

    @57 “Remember when libtard DUMMOCRETINS charged President GW Bush with ‘overstating’ the threat of terrorism?”

    As I recall it was the other way around:

    “During the transition between administrations, National Security Adviser Sandy Berger arranged several extensive briefings on [terrorism] for Bush’s incoming national security adviser, Condoleeza Rice, and others on the Bush team …. Berger told them that Osama bin Laden was an ‘existential threat’ and told them that he wanted ‘to underscore how important this issue is.’ In another briefing, Richard Clarke … gave them a complete tutorial on the subject. In yet another briefing, CIA officials were brought in to go over all the intelligence available on terrorism. Don Kerrick, a three-star general and outgoing deputy national security adviser … submitted a memo for the new National Security Council warning of the danger of terrorism. … But as Kerrick explained to me, he received no answer to his memo. ‘They didn’t respond,’ he said. ‘They never responded. … They never asked me to do anything. … They didn’t see terrorism as the big megaissue that the Clinton administration saw it as. … The Principals meeting of national security officials took up terrorism only once, after constant pressure from Clarke, on September 4, 2001, and at that meeting … no decision was made.” — Sidney Blumenthal, “The Clinton Wars” (New York: Farrar, Strauss, and Giroux, 2003), pp. 797-798.

    The personality disordered individual who plays “Puddybud” is slipping. Get him riled up again, guys. he looks more like an unhinged moron at 40+%.

  65. 65

    Sorry, dumbass, but the whole world knows Bush and his underlings dropped the ball on terrorism until it was too late, and all the goat petting in the world can’t make that fact go away.

  66. 66

    @64 What will happen if I poke him with a stick? Will he get angry and buzz around in circles flaunting his tiny little stinger?

  69. 69

    @67 He’s pretty fast, though. That’s why he’s still buzzing around. You can’t quite draw a good enough bead on him to get in a swat that finishes him off for good. Squid ink saves his ass.

  70. 70

    @69

    Partly squid ink, partly the nature of the internet.

    We have something of a community here, but not like in real life…in actual, in person, human interaction, anyone as persistently obnoxious and wrong and abusive would feel all sorts of forms of social shunning. He would eventually take himself away, or the group would behave in ways that precluded his presence.

    That, alas, is not possible here.

    While there are all sorts of criticism leveled at the rantings of the character ‘puddy’ clearly the person behind the character is getting some form of jollies writing what he writes, and provoking the response he gets. It may be a form of masochism, one his religiosity doesn’t allow him to fulfill in other, um, venues, or one he feels he atones for by hewing concretely to a shrieking right wing agenda while getting off on the abuse. And he gets to do it anonymously, sitting at home in his underwear, or in a latex suit, in a dark room….

  71. 71

    Wow,

    Getting another system up remotely and the whackjobs are out in force. http://www.inquisitr.com/14538.....y-in-iraq/ It really sucks to see your vaulted leader who laid out a plan then the next day not really!

    So let’s be real DUMMOCRETINS… Bush was right… Obummer leaves Iraq and ISIS moves in. Now Obummer today is relying on the AUMF documents Obummer was against in May 2013. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....28667.html

    Sux to be you!
