Then honey badger needs a laxative, perhaps a stool softener.
Honey badger, honey badger, wherefore art thou our honey badger.
I do believe CBS is starting to crack. The headline tut-tuts at “finger-pointing,” but the pic of Obama just barely shows that he’s pointing fingers.
I’m having a hard time relating to honey badger; the hedge is now at Defcon-3 level of needing some cutback. So it’s that, instead of swilling beer in front of the TV all day long on first weekend of college football.
Fuck.
They cut the picture down from this.
Honey badger bites the heads off live snakes.
Which is channel-changing gross and icky.
snow hoochie-“Polls are for strippers ans cross country skiers”
Sarah Palin’s whole speech.
gwbush 2?
Link
Stoaty already hit that one out of the park.
Excerpts from Sarah Palin’s speech.
Look, Ma! No TelePrompTer!
so is she gonna run? America is holding its breath like a hippopotamus or perhaps a sperm whale or a crocodile. Or like a poley bear swimming underwater to escape the paparazzi.
If she runs, ‘feets, I’ll be the happiest person in these here dirty socialist states.
run run rudolph sarah save the christmas! With energy revival comes economic revival it’s the same thing cause if you have one you have the other one just like when you have beans on toast you have beans and you also have toast and that’s why we’re gonna drill here drill now and then the economy will say hey look at all this oil and nobody ever thought of that except Sarah Palin, who may or may not run for president. In America. This year or next year. Or whenever. But if she did she would bring some exciting and interesting ideas about the relationship between the price of energy and the health of the economy. That she thought of in her head.
mr rick perry kool aid drinkers are obot wannabes
Just for ‘feets, Sarah Palin ‘jabbed’ at McCain…
It’s refreshing to have her out there, and the other candidates, bless their timid, mousy hearts, worrying themselves silly.
I wish she’d make up her mind, already. All of this teasy teasy business is tiresome. I don’t want her to run and I am tired of listening to her screechy voice. She makes my ears bleed.
And ‘feets, did you notice that Mr. Cheney is on the same page as us with her being quitty?
“Mr. Cheney is on the same page as us with her being quitty?”
this quitting bs is a hoot. rickperry with hair just got reelected and so to show his warm regards to the voters of texas for their votes he thought running for another office for the 1st 18 months of his term would do the trick. baracky won his senate seat and to show his gratitude to the voters of illinois started running for president. her calfness hillary pulled the same stunt. same with bachmann and paul. at least paul said this was his final term. at this point i find private citizens like romney,cain,santorum and even huntsman preferable to play it safe politicians.
I think spending 10 years in the office of governor is a whole lot more than half of one term, nr. Santorum is a dope (he was my senator when I lived in PA) and should quit before he spends all his children’s college tuition and makes his daughter cry again.
Rick Perry is going to beat Obama like a rented mule.
“I think spending 10 years in the office of governor is a whole lot more than half of one term”
that ain’t the point. if any these career politicians think that it it so important to be the next president they should pursue that full time on their own and not being paid by the taxpayer to do so. perry, bachmann, paul should resign now.
He can resign after he wins the nomination. I’m going to get a yard sign.
“He can resign after he wins the nomination”
folks like you a part of the problem.
That’s me, just part of the problem since 1980 when I voted for Reagan.
“That’s me, just part of the problem since 1980 when I voted for Reagan.”
the problem is trying to roll back the fed gov’t to where it was in 1980. where’s rickperry’s plan to do that?
@9. Perry’s objection to a border fence couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that he’s the Governor of Texas? And the border between Texas and Mexico is the Rio Grande River, which runs through some of the most gawdawful rugged country on earth? Building a fence would be a major undertaking and then you’ve got to guard it or it’s useless. But if you’ve got enough people to guard it you don’t actually need a fence. And even if you had enough guards to guard the river there are stretches where you can’t get anywhere near the river except on foot (been there, done that).
Then there’s another consideration: You’re not going to build the fence on the Mexican side of the river (although that would be interesting. You’re not going to build the fence down the middle of the river either. That means you’d be building a fence down the US side of the river and, due to the terrain, often quite a ways from the river (most likely 50-60 miles from the river in some places). How much territory do you want to cede to Mexico? How do farmers get water for irrigation and for their stock? What about all the American citizens who would wind up living on the Mexican side of this fence? There are a lot of practical problems with a border fence in Texas.
BTW, most every time I’ve ever gotten anywhere near the Rio Grande off the beaten track a spotter plane shows up and buzzes me within a few minutes. This has happened so many times the guys in the spotter planes recognize my vehicle and often break off before they even see me! You’d almost think they’ve got sensors along the river to guide the planes in. But that would make sense and work better than a fence, so I hesitate to give the govmint that much credit :D
Perry is bush the 3rd. No mas.
“There are a lot of practical problems with a border fence in Texas.”
oh fine he knows the texas topography. the quote was “No, I don’t support a fence on the border,” is running for the president of texas or the us? is he against the fence in san diego? for someone with 10 years of governing experience rickperry hasn’t put much thought into this topic other than, what’s the aoshq term, oh yes generalities.
I didn’t see about Mr. Cheney. I was disappointed how Condi and Colin tagged teamed him with their bullshit. Well more disappointed in Condi than Colin. You expect that kind of thing from him cause he’s a cowardly obama-fellating whore. Which, Condi can suck her some obamadick when the mood strikes her, but I’ve never really gotten the feeling that was really her thing. Dicks and all.
Not building a border fence in Texas is a good start! Granted, it doesn’t do anything to roll back the size of government, but hiring enough Border Patrolmen to guard it would add tens of thousands to the government payroll. Not to mention all the snazy uniforms and guns and 4WD pick’emups*.
*Q: What’s green and white and sleeps two?
A: A Border Patrol pickup!
i’m hoping though for grampa type event with rickperry where he’ll build the damn fence. good times.
They’ve already got a fence in San Diego. They dig tunnels under it….
I’m pleased I got tell you, ‘feets. I wanted you to feel validated. I know I did.
And Swen, you are right on about not building a fence. And newsflash to nr: It’s 2011. Things have changed.
“Not building a border fence in Texas is a good start! Granted, it doesn’t do anything to roll back the size of government, but hiring enough Border Patrolmen to guard it would add tens of thousands to the government payroll. ”
i think the state’s national guard could handle that no? why always this need for dc to do something? hell az trying to do something dc is suppose to do and dc is trying to stop them.
Mr. Perry is the best Team R has been able to do this cycle. So there you have it. I hope he gets a mandate to deal with the spendings and the regulations and the energy. I hope he doesn’t get a mandate for his neurotic fags and fetuses obsession. Good lord but he’ll be hands down the president who’s demonstrated the keenest interest in your daughter’s pussy we’ve ever had except for Bill Clinton.
thank you leigh I’m a gonna google later but my feeling about Sarah is that she jumped the shark many moons ago … if she were to run she’d have the fork stuck in her inside of a month I think
“They’ve already got a fence in San Diego. They dig tunnels under it…”
and the tunnels are found and closed. then once again that piece of border is secured. how are ladder sales doing in tijuana?
“It’s 2011. Things have changed.”
well i’m not accepting of the dirty socialization of america by fast or slow means. radically reducing fed gov’t is doable but for people claim to want that but the next crony in line will do.
A minute ago you were complaining that Perry is running for President while thinking like he’s the Governor of Texas. Now you want to mobilize the “state’s national guard”? That would be a Governor’s responsibility unless, of course, they’re nationalized, in which case it’s DC doing it.
But then most of the National Guard is nationalized now and stretched pretty thin with all our overseas adventures. Of course, a year spent patrolling the Mexican border would be good practice for Afghanistan. It’s hot and the terrain’s a lot the same.
Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against guarding the border, and I’m all for what AZ is trying to do. But building a fence is a dumb way of going about it in a lot of areas. Good way to waste a lot of money without accomplishing anything.
rickperry w with better hair and the christianist gig better too
Link
You hear about the ones that are found and closed. Methinks they wouldn’t go to all that trouble digging if the odds against being caught weren’t pretty good.
Mr. Rick is very solid on immigration he doesn’t wig out like that tancredo weirdo. It’s very cool Mr. Governor Perry looks at immigration as something we can deal with as Americans and we don’t have to get all frantic and shrieky about it. After gimpy bumblefuck it’ll be nice to have a non-panicky president for a change.
“Good way to waste a lot of money without accomplishing anything.”
agree site specific works the best.
“A minute ago you were complaining that Perry is running for President while thinking like he’s the Governor of Texas”
it seems his answer was about texas when if you’re running for president you got to be a little more national in your reply. there’s no nuance in “No, I don’t support a fence on the border,” and then talk texas.
“Methinks they wouldn’t go to all that trouble digging if the odds against being caught weren’t pretty good.”
fine that fence isn’t 100% effective. the border in az is 0% effective and the gangs control us territory. i don’t understand your views here.
“Mr. Rick is very solid on immigration ”
he’s just w from a&m
he’s just w from a&m
we could do much much worse
Perry’s right. A border fence is a bad and physically unworkable idea. Unless you just take Mexico away from Mexico, annex it as Puerto Rico Jr., and build a 35-mile fence just below the Panama Canal.
Just take the damned country over, clean it up and make it fit for human habitation, once again. Why not? We’ve much of their citizenry over here already.
So you’d be happier if he’d mentioned shovels and miner’s picks along with 35-foot ladders? The guy answers a lot of questions, he doesn’t have all day to dissect each one.
GWB hates him some Perry nr, he’d resent the familial insinuations.
Perry’s a difficult read. I’m still ingesting. He does seem to have flummoxed Michele Bachmann’s candidacy, at least for the moment.
If he puts away Huntsman and Romney, well, that’ll help with my digestion.
“we could do much much worse”
2012 big gov’t vs maybe not so big but big gov’t
“The guy answers a lot of questions, he doesn’t have all day to dissect each one.”
nah he does … vague generalities. with the best of them
Recall JeffG’s line “The entire establishment political class is corrupt.” Unless Palin gets the nomination, nothing changes, really.
Nothing changes if Palin got the nomination, either. Four more years of O’Jughead.
the nomination is quite solidly Palin-proof at this point
she jumped the shark to where she still hasn’t landed yet, poor lady
Now, leigh, ye of little faith! You voted for Reagan, as did I. Did you at the time think he could beat Ol’ Whiteteefs?
“Perry’s a difficult read. I’m still ingesting.”
well if rickperry was mr. 10ther that he says he is he’d be gov. of texas right now fighting in the media epa’s cross state pollution rule for jan 2012 which will take off line a bunch of electricity. but that might cause you to actually confront the scoamf.
‘feets, shouldn’t matter to you. No matter to which (R) candidate the nomination goes, s/he won’t win California.
Sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride whilst the grownups in the other states tries to save the Republic for you.

“Nothing changes if Palin got the nomination, either. Four more years of O’Jughead”
African Americans polled approve of President Obama’s handling of the economy while 26 percent says he’s a scoamf.
I wouldn’t be so sure Mr. serr8d. NG asked me last week if she could vote for Team R if she was registered as a D. She voted for bumble and now she calls him the idiot. She wants him out of our little white house yesterday.
That is a big shift. And unexpected.
Actually, serr8d, I did. I’d already seen him log two terms as governor when I was growing up in Californistan.
“Nothing changes if Palin got the nomination, either. Four more years of O’Jughead.”
clock has run out for baracky.
“seen him log two terms as governor when I was growing up in Californistan”
times change. you be watching the collapse of the progg state. ain’t nothing the proggs can do about it but make it worse.
Leigh sounds pragmatic.
One person, ‘feets, does not change the fact that California is the failingest state in the Union; and will give electoral votes to the Dem candidate. Right along with New York and Illinois, because nestled in those states are the largest overpopulation ‘burgs we own; and all the overpopulated ‘burgs vote Democratic as a rule. All of them. Every stinking one.
Say, someone find a link ranking the largest cities, population vs. political affiliation? I’ll bet it has to be a 25 or higher population ranking before the people smarten up.
NG can scarcely be said to be unrepresentative
long beach CA she represents like a wizzle-wazzle
“the largest cities, population vs. political affiliation”

and dirty moochers, nr.
See 39. where I said:
I thought I was being pretty clear, but let me restate — I’m for practical and affordable solutions to border security. If it were me I’d prosecute the people who knowingly employ illegals — make it clear that cheap illegal labor isn’t going to be cheap anymore and hiring that guy who hangs out in front of Home Depot is a really bad idea. Not to mention.. Day laborers hangin’ out in front of the lumber yard? What’s F’in up with that? Why spend billions building a fence if we can’t even arrest those low-hanging fruit? We don’t need no stinkin’ fence to do that, just a few old school buses, and Sheriff Joe can show us how to hold them until they’re deported.
Then I’d crucify those who provide them with fake ID’s, who transport them and shelter them. I’d go after the gangs hard and fast. We already have law enforcement whose job it is to do all those things so let’s get them off their butts and out of the donut shops. Then deport them when they’re caught. Right now most illegals who are caught in this country and entering the country are released again in this country so what the hell is the point?
Finally, I’d shut down all the transfers of cash back to Mexico — the Mexican government profits hugely from sending all their unemployed North, it’s their second largest source of hard cash next to oil exports. They also profit by getting rid of all those young unemployed men who would otherwise hang around and cause them trouble. If they didn’t have that safety valve those in Mexico might exercise their initiative by cleaning up their own country instead of by fleeing it. At the very least the Mexican government would have less incentive to encourage them to go North.
Frankly, I think making this country less hospitable to illegals would be more effective than trying to stop them at the border but then giving them a pass once they’re in, which is the status quo. But none of that has much to do with Rick Perry and his attitude toward a border fence, which was the topic at hand. Unfortunately, Perry doesn’t have all day to expound and get all nuancy, and the real answer is very complicated. Unfortunately, political campaigns are geared toward generating 30-second sound bites for the 5 o’clock news. I wish it were otherwise, but I fear 30 seconds is already straining some folks attention spans.
“But none of that has much to do with Rick Perry and his attitude toward a border fence”
yea it does because rickperry was the governor of a border state for his vaulted 10 years of experience. if 10 years of being a governor of a border state results in the same views as john mccain i’ll take a pass.
“and the real answer is very complicated.”
enforce the current law at all levels ain’t complicated
oh keep in mind reagan was the last private citizens to be elected president.
Here’s a .pdf comparing the top liberal and conservative cities, using data from 2004. Check Table 5, city population and conservative/liberal rankings.
I’m surprised at some of the rankings; but recall that the 4th largest city, Houston, ranked 62/177 conservative/liberal respectively, is located in Texas, home state for the incumbent Bush. I’d like to see those numbers updated using the 2008 numbers.
San Diego is perfectly split 119/119. Oh, and Detroit is a shithole, as we know.

The Moocher effect..
‘Community Organizers’ have a field day in these squalid places. I’m worrying that this economic downturn might force some out-of-work people to vote Looter-Moocher party, because they fear that without the ‘safety net’ they might end up living in cardboard boxes on the power line easements. Our citizens are not as tough and resilient as they once were, you know.
Many out of work folks are taking ‘handouts’ figuring they might as well get em before the well runs dry. Not a few of those will correctly diagnose the root cause and vote appropriately. Many out of work folks are republicans/conservatives, you know and not exactly pleased with the fortunes heaped on them by the current administration.
“because they fear that without the ‘safety net’ they might end up living in cardboard boxes on the power line easements. ”
if they weren’t so stupid there is so much wealth in this country for the taking. you just have to work for it. f((kin welfare queens can afford the middle class houses in detroit. oh my they might have to do some freakin’ work for them.

Wow. You’d better run over and read Maureen Dowd before the NYT realizes what she’s done this morning, and yanks it.
Shorter Maureen: SCOAMF.
Not aspire to or acquired, he was to the manner born.
But he did a year ago and then there was that whole “Stimulus” thing from almost 3 years ago. It’s always fourth and long when you only have one play in the book.
Smitty over at RSM’s has a nice fisking of the MoDo piece, fwiw.
Also at RSM, there’s an excerpt from Christine O’Donnell’s book, which I found interesting. First I’ve ever read from her directly, as opposed to pieces about her. I was assured by all the Right People (including many on our side) that she was some sort of Lunatic Idiot Crazy-Lady. Shockingly, untrue… at least, she sure sounds like one of us.
I like mine better, fwiw. )
How’s he gonna get there? 3 years ago, we could have done it. Today, we can’t.
Maybe we should have shot him into space back then.
Pity he couldn’t have been on that last Russian flight.
serr8d,
Tried (unsuccesfully) to leave this comment at your site irt the Dowd piece:
“And it wasn’t exactly Morning in America when Obama sent out a mass e-mail to supporters Wednesday under the heading “Frustrated.”
Maureen was surprisingly candid but in the interests of piling on I’d like to mention she left out the perfect irony of Obumble’s employmnet of the loser WTF slogan.
Noteworthy that Newt did’t protest the pilfering. I guess he didn’t want to be the (only) one to be saddled with that turd.
Honey badger gets stung by a thousand bees. Honey badger doesn’t give a shit…
nr, if you were actually informed, you would be aware that it was Rick Perry’s refusal to draft the regs the EPA wanted that led to EPA TX refusing to approve any permits for TX refineries. That led to a lawsuit by Rick Perry against the EPA, which in turn led to EPA arbitrarily including TX in its’ latest round of regulation on ozone.
Now, this took me about 10 minutes with Google. Next time, you might try looking up some actual facts.
So, Rick Perry says: “Stop shoving your socialist horseshit down our throats”, and HE’S the bad guy? Oh yeah. We’ll eat five pounds of catshit so that we can drill for oil?
“Greenhouse gasses” happens to mean CO2, which any sane person knows is NOT a pollutant. If it were, the SWAT teams would be very busy wiping out all animal life on Earth. The US is the cleanest country on the planet, per capita. There is no end to what these fascist bastards will do to destroy this country.
The EPA is ObaMao’s pit bull, and he uses them to intimidate anyone who disagrees with him, and to bully businesses into licking his ignorant, foriegn royal butthole.
When do we stand up and say: “You’re full of shit, you little Marxist twatwaffle”? This pretender IGNORES the constitution, IGNORES Congress, IGNORES the judicial branch, IGNORES the will of the people, and does whatever the fuck he feels like doing. Is that what you want? An arrogant, ignorant, and economically illiterate little tyrant? Because that’s what we have – right here, right now.
According to what I see, SDN, it will only after you wake up in chains that reality will dawn on you.
I applaud Rick Perry. And who is the federal government to tell Texas what to do? None of their business, according to the constitution. NONE of these unelected fascist agencies, or ObaMao’s loathesome “czars”, are to be found ANYWHERE in the constitution. THEY ARE UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS, at the mercy of ObaMao’s whims.
I don’t think that our ruling elites know just how close to the edge they are walking.
I think *we* do just that; it’s getting our elected-to-Congress representatives fired up enough (and allowed to by Party establishment) to amplify our voices.
There’s much less camaraderie in Congress today, which is a good thing. We have to demand forceful implementation of our ideology, offer less compromise that results in bad deals, and be tough enough to overcome the momentum of ‘losing more slowly’.
Joe Wilson, here’s a flashcard, in the blockquote above. Be ready to speak out loud Thursday night, y’hear?
Outstanding comments on the MoDo piece. Apparently Obama is really a secret Republican, and they are all going to vote for Huntsman if thr Republicans are smart enough to nominate him.
