And if I were differently melanized, I’d agree with him. Then again, maybe I just don’t understand urban affairs the way Monica Conyers and Adolpho Carrion do.
Via Dan Riehl: Cartoon Obama, bankers at your beck, wonder how you’ll manage to wreck the rest. (aka Captain O!merdica)
Faustina lente: Mark Joey Hairplugs’ words, he’ll be tested early on.
Fellow OUTLAW criticized, marginalized.
Breitbart goes OUTLAW on Maher.
Don’t know about the “ghetto” part, but am I the only one who saw the shabby treatments as payback to UK for its colonial past, and role in torturing Obama’s paternal grandfather?
I’m wondering if our relationship with our political “motherland” and oldest ally are part of remaking America.
Portuguese water dog. For the treacherous Portuguese waters.
Salt Lick, I had the same thought. During the campaign, the “AmericanValuesJustLikeAllYouJoeSixpacks” candidate had a commercial about his grandfather serving in WWII and taking him to see the Astronauts. Nothing about his other grandfather being a MauMau. Surely just an oversight.
Monica Conyers is my beat, Dan. Back off.
Beat on her some more, Carin.
Well, I will have you know that my most recent swipe at Detroit City Council got me a Small Dead Animal-launch. The Other McCain is advising me on how to handle it.
That’s some good thwappage, Carin.
Or, in other words, speak of race without actually mentioning race. Is that what this means?
Thank heaven Detroit is north. We’ve got enough problems becoming what is in the West.
“Last week, Council President Monica Conyers, who is black, told a white Teamsters’ union official during a contentious meeting on whether to accept the deal that most of the people who work at Cobo during the annual North American International Auto Show ‘don’t look like me. They look like you.‘”
Ah, the notion of preferred minority group member exceptionalism is on full display here in the remarks by the spouse of one of the paragons of identity politics, the famous dullard, and downright mean racist bitch, Monica Conyers…
Just imagine the Outrage! if the racial roles were reversed and the same statement made..?
But then, that exercise gets old, doesn’t it..?
I’m soooooo glad we live in O!s brave, new, post-racial, and post-partisan world; aren’t you?
“‘The small-minded divisive politics, the us-versus-them mentality, the city-versus-suburb mentality, the black-versus-white mentality has held us back as a city, and frankly, held this region back for years,’ Cockrel said Wednesday. ‘It’s time for us to move beyond that.’
‘Every spring the swallows come back to Capistrano. The buzzards come back to Hinckley, Ohio, and every election in Detroit, whoever is running for office, is going to play the race card and beat up whitey in the suburbs,’ Republican Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, who is white, told The Associated Press.
‘They are trying to incite the racial tensions for political gains.’”
You don’t say…It’s the same old tired story for the left wing racial demagogues…
“Conyers, a Democrat, is standing by her comment about Cobo workers. ‘I don’t think that was racist,’ Conyers insisted during a break in this Tuesday’s council meeting. ‘When I go to Cobo Hall and they’re working, that’s what I see, and I don’t think that’s racist by telling the truth.’”
Oh man, I won’t even touch that…I think I’ll adopt this construct convention when speaking about folks from now on. Being an eeeeeevil, opressing, whitey, I wonder how that will go over..?
Well, they can’t have subversive archetypes suggesting rebellion against the State can we. Next up,
Throw out St. George, because dragons

Teamster’s union officials look like this?

O. tested by bombers in Cuba and Venezuela? I would think the news would cheer him up.
Baracky is making us less safe I think. Also, broke.
Is there money in it for the Russians? Or, rather, I should ask, where is the money connection that is sure to be behind this trial balloon? Will we pay them to stay out, or will the Venezuelans pay them to come in?

happyfeet should be made into a action figure so that every boy and girl in America can have one as an example.
Russkies can at least appreciate bootleg American DVD’s.
I was gonna go to the office now I have to work out first.
I started off the day with buttermilk in my shoes and I’m feeling rather sour.
#12
Nooooo. He’d have to ask his wifey for his nutsack and that would embarass him infront of the secret service detail, who laugh at him behind his back anyway. So no on that.
I was just a tablespoon of bicarbonate away from a Westham Parkway missile crisis.
J’ever make your own buttermilk SarahW? ’tis easy and cheaper too.
oh. Make your own buttermilk. Last night I read the scary scary thing Mr. Reynolds linked and so I’m going to have eat like a peasant weekend. I made rice and tortillas for breakfast. Well I already had the rice from last night and the tortillas are from Ralph’s. I know peasant food doesn’t have to be not tasty but the basic stuff sort of just is and I have a lot to learn. Do buffalo burgers from Trader Joe’s count as peasant food? They’re not expensive or anything. I think anything already in your freezer counts as peasant food cause it’s not like a peasant would throw it away.
I’ve heard of that but never actually done it, Sdferr. I keep it in the back of my mind in case I ever have to have red velvet cupcakes at 10:00 pm on a Sunday.
Core Values Conservatism…
I’m looking for a conservatism that takes social values seriously as central to the premise of limited government and constitutional liberalism (that is, “hard classical liberalism,” in the libertarian sense).
…
I started doing it when I was making the cheese. Making the cheese is not cheap.
The buttermilk also got in the freezer gasket and the fruit drawer and all over the dishwasher. it was a total sabre dance in the kitchen, I had pancakes on the griddle. I realized I am not ever using that lamb roast not ever. Also I’m out of popsicles.
Also, free, educated and self-sufficient.
His wife has great arms though. They don’t just tone themselves you know.
hmmmm. having watched Born Yesterday last night, I suppose I could hope this education thing might bite them in the ass.
It kinda feels like that Cuban Missile Crisis is developing again in front of our very eyes, only this time Dear Leader isn’t sure what side he’s on.
I’m assuming Teleprompter Jesus thinks he can soothe Putin with his words. Putin will tell him to go pound sand and Baracky will just nod. He’s the President, and he just got told off by a foreign leader. He’s happy because the idea of being the President is exciting to him. Being the actual President – not so much.
the red velvet cupcakes talk is really taking the steam out of eat like a peasant weekend
I made dark chocolate with buttercream frosting and chocolate sprinkles cupcakes last night. cause it’s mah birfday. and some other dude’s.
Happy Birthday, maggie.
Thanks, Dan. Now tell me I look 14. ;D
(seriously, I walked in to rehearsal last night and the director says, “Maggie, you look about 14 today.”) *sniff*
“He’s the President, and he just got told off by a foreign leader. He’s happy because the idea of being the President is exciting to him. Being the actual President – not so much.”
Happy Birthday, maggie! Happy clappy birthday!!
HBMaggie……….
So you’re sharing cupcakes with some other dude? I mean, besides the RTO? On your birthday?
yeah Vermont Neighbor, Rush has said something similar. “Obama doesn’t want to be the President, he wants to do the President.”
Is there a better word ever than buttercream? Don’t think so.
yes, but it being theater, of course he’s GAAAaaay. NTTAWWT. so RTO has no worries.
WRKO Boston said to email Hussein and demand that he debate the leader of the GOP. Without a t-p.
buttercream is a good word but impeach is better.
impeach cobbler drizzled with buttercream
Oh no, maggie, my question wasn’t about him, it was about the cupcakes.
oh, I doubt they’ll eat them all. but RTO’s apparently trying to fatten me up cause he came home with ice cream and brownie mix and a huge chocolate Easter bunny with one eye last night.
well, both eyes were in there, but one was in the basket.
RTO ate the other eye on the way home?
Happy b-day Maggie. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you look not a day over 13.
>>with one eye
Did you poke out his other eye? Sounds like wedding bells. I kid.
Rihanna’s next song is a remake of I Got The Beat.
On the topic of fruits, imPEACHed buttercream could be one hell of a flavored cupcake.
Happy Birthday Maggie. Pulls a candle out of man-bag and lights it. God grant you many years, many blessed years.
“Comment by SarahW on 3/14 @ 11:28 am #

Make pancakes.

Anyone would trade their Barack cookie for this.
Maybe I’ll do Pollo alla Bolognese tomorrow.
did we know this? I didn’t know this.
The UN is gayly going where no gay has gone before I think. Cause that’s really really gay. Ubergay. I can’t believe we give these ones monies.
No, really.
Very happy Birthday, Maggie! Eat the side of the rabbit that can’t see you first.
Yeah, like how to move the United States to the equator.
#57 How I used to laugh at the John Birchers. Who’s sorry now.
Oops. I meant to refer to Happyfeet at 56.
I’m scared now about that TSHTF advice. I think I should go buy a case of tuna.
Don’t read it all in one sitting. It’s kind of overwhelming. I never realized how for real screwed you’d be in a city. When I go home to Texas I’m gonna look for a gun. We sold most of them already I think but there’s still the attic.
And those bullet thingies.
Or I might could just buy one. I have a friend what works at the Cabela’s gun counter south of Austin. He’s from California so he’ll know if there’s any rules involved.
Also I’m going to stock up on Banjo strings.
Well, hf, you probably already know this being from Texas, but just in case.
That’s funny. I wish that was for real how it was.
I read the Reynolds scary link this morning and googled the author. Sounds legit. But I think our slide down will be gradual and I’ll be dead before it gets that bad.
So break out the banjos and cupcakes.
Baracky ain’t doing gradual.
Hupp had actually brought a handgun to the Luby’s Cafeteria that day, but had left it in her vehicle due to the laws in force at the time, forbidding citizens from carrying firearms
Yeah, a lot of people hated on me at Virginia Tech when I suggested a few armed and carrying students might have limited the carnage. Same haters that wanted to put a memorial stone for the shooter in with his victims. “Because he suffered, too.”
Color me clueless, hf, but I can’t see things falling apart real fast. The author of the piece Reynolds links writes about how slowly things come apart. I think things will straighten up for a few years, then inflation and entitlements will eat away, etc, etc. I think I’ve got twenty years before the gangs get leverage out here in the country. You, on the other hand, are a little closer to a hotspot.
Do you live in a city though? I already have homeless peoples in my neighborhood cause of the subway, and this is sort of a nice neighborhood. It’s just easier to visualize I think.
What was creepy was when this one homeless what hangs about passed me on the street and asked me for a cigarette. Except I wasn’t smoking right then. So she had seen me already enough to know I smoked. I’m on the homeless radar. Creepy creepy.
i wrote a sentence

ahhhchoo
can i use ur bathroo..
just did
thanks
Yes, hf, I understand why you feel more immediately threatened in the city than I do in the country. In fact, the linked article brought back lots of memories I have of living in lawless third world cities like his. But the situation you describe is why I LEFT the city 20 years ago — we had a murder in our (nice yuppie) neighborhood once a week, so I understand. Cities will no doubt get worse over the next few years, but I don’t see all of America going down as fast as Argentina.
I gotta go somewhere. Cheers.
i don’t mind the asking me 4 smokes{7.75 in mass]
it’s the stories…
“yo/ bro/ got a smoke….
my cousin got my check/ he went to the bank…”
That’s heartening. We don’t have near that many murders around here yet. Just incidents. The terrifyingest one was when I went to Ralph’s next door at like 3 in the morning and it was cold and I wasn’t being very alert. No one was about and I walk in and homeless guy comes up and hugs me and then he pulls back and says help me can you help me I have AIDS. Some other Ralph’s person distracted homeless AIDS guy while the manager called a security person. I am a more alert person now.
I found this link to Fausta’s live-blog of the Lula/Obama press conference at Insty. It’s worth a read, I think. I’ve now got the sense that perhaps the main reason Obama cut the presser with Gordon Brown is best explained by Obama’s proper expectation that he would come off looking like the rank poseur that he in fact is, were he to have to stand next to Brown and answer questions from the British press for a halfhour. It wasn’t about tweaking the Brits at all, it was about saving Obama’s image from unnecessary destruction.
Is there a better word ever than buttercream? Don’t think so.
Now, ya’ll just stop it. I just worked out for two hours, and I don’t need any buttercream dreams wrecking it all.

That sounds yummy, RTO!
#77,
If only he could get away with always wearing eyeglasses in public I’m sure the press conferences could be improved.
geoffb
Sadly, O. has his prop — the teleprompter. He could score with some Horatio Caine sunglasses swinging around his neck. That would get him through a press conference.
[…] I’m hoping this is something Jeff will address. This Dyson guy is disgustingly suggesting that black conservatives are colonized by the discourse of the Other, and essentially ventriloquists’ dummies. […]
maggie alert! I’ve no way of knowing whether you’ve seen this or not, but on the chance that you haven’t, think of it as a (really) cheap birthday present from me.
Someone should make Michael Steele watch Breitbart. That’s how you do it. They don’t get to use “racist” or “Nazi” as a throwaway line. The moment they say that, you get in their face and call them on it. Sadly, he ran out of steam. When you’re outnumbered 2:1, they just keep piling on more BS faster than you can refute it. That’s when Maher cuts off the discussion.
Despite the political differences I generally like Bill Maher and learn something — or at least hear interesting BS. A group of us were going to get tickets for a live show. But the Maher club poster was a copy of the Shepard Fairey lalala thing.
Unfortunately, it’s starting to hit. Bam Derangement Syndrome.
I know his angle… liberal/libertarian… pounding the GOP. If he aligns himself with the current salvation nonsense, my money goes elsewhere. The deification of Junior has made me careful about who gets my entertainment $$.
