$50,000 REWARD [guest post by motionview]

A reward of $50,000 is hereby offered for either of the following two items: 1. The Rashid Khalidi Tape. Rashid Khalidi, currently a professor at Columbia, was the spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in the 1980s in Lebanon (which Khalidi now denies). The PLO is a terrorist organization of cold-blooded murderers. In addition to thousands of murdered Israelis, they are believed to have murdered many Americans, and are

Leadership

In case you haven’t been keeping up, today is the day that our great and good king, Barack Obama, summoned before him the two squabbling parties who have refused to act when it comes to deficit reduction, and demands of them that they reach some sort of agreement — most likely, something along the lines of $4 trillion in spending cuts over 12 years (which Obama will tout as the

Anybode here

ever worn or owned a Belstaff wax cotton jacket? I’m looking for something that will take a beating like leather but that is a bit lighter. And I keep getting drawn back to the Belstaff racing jackets Steve McQueen used to wear. I’m sexy that way.

Symbolic Marxism

Courtesy Harry Reid and Senate Democrats: The Senate as early as Wednesday could vote on a “Sense of the Senate” bill that says taxpayers earning $1 million or more each year should “make a more meaningful contribution to the deficit-reduction effort.” The bill, titled the “Sense of the Senate on Shared Sacrifice,” was introduced last week by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). Reid filed at cloture motion on the

Your mission, should you choose to accept it

Re-Tweet the following, in light of today’s Obama Twitter Conference for Freedom and Hope and Other Such Things He Wants You to Believe He Stands For: RT @USChamber: Will you help businesses and free enterprise create #jobs by getting government out of the way? #AskObama I’d do it myself, but being a technical illiterate I’d probably just end up inadvertently posting those pictures I keep on my computer of my

You can't end racial discrimination by ending racial discrimination

In fact, racial discrimination is the only way to prevent racial discrimination — the upshot of which is that, thanks to racial discrimination, racial discrimination is no longer a problem, provided you learn to view certain racial discrimination as non-discriminatory, and provided you learn to couch any questions about such racial discrimination as racist and discriminatory. I know this because the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals told me so, and

From your cold dead hands?

Well, if it serves the greater good, maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss that idea, even if it means the bitter clingers might whine and cry and rend their garments like flannel-clad trailer trash caught up in a doublewide love triangle. The objection could be raised that Mr. Obama’s relative lack of overt action on gun control initiatives indicates that he is not a stereotypical progressive gun banner.

The "the 'is it 2012 yet?' wistful open thread post" post

I mean, I realize it might seem a rather curious use for a time machine, but if I had one, 2012 is the first place I’d go, just to make sure America did the right thing. Unless I got stupid drunk and decided on a whim to go back to the early 80s and ask Valerie Bertinelli to my prom, that is. Which, hey, I’m as patriotic as the next

Curiouser and Curiouser

Maybe the birthers are actually on to something. And maybe we’ve been looking at Obama’s agenda all wrong: perhaps he was born in some socially democratic European country somewhere, and his entire stint in office has been an idealized and nostalgic attempt to recapture the romanticism of his actual homeland. I’m joking, naturally. Occam’s razor suggests that it’s far more likely he’s just an arrogant elitist douche who believes himself

Obama White House dismisses claim that "stimulus" cost US $278K per job "created"

— a claim made by, wait for it: The White House’s Council of Economic Advisers. Question: how many Obama Administration officials can squeeze themselves simultaneously into a VW Beetle? And, once they got out, would they be able to provide us with an accurate accounting of the feat? — or would they wait to see if anyone was watching, and then just make some shit up to fit the political
