Farewell Speech – President Reagan’s Farewell Speech from the Oval Office 1/11/89
i hate it when i have to click a googleshit youtube just to be part of a conversation
Obviously we need more Youtube posts.
that was cold
Who is that dizzy bitch and why should I give a fuck?
That Krystal Ball isn’t one of the palantiri.
MR. CARNEY: “Jon, you know, when it comes to correcting records, you know, we could get into that. And the fact is those talking points were, as the deputy director of the CIA testified before Congress, as he has talked to the press about on Benghazi, were created by the CI…”
– Whats absolutely incredible Carney admits it was based on made up shit, then repeats the same lies all over again. Morrel has totally debunked the claim the CIA had anything to do with the video bullshit, and yet here he is after everything repeating the same lie without batting an eye.
– I wouldn’t trust these assholes with a pencil.
Wow, she couldn’t make it through 112 pages of Orwell/Blair doing his 7th grade reading level grandfather telling a story tone?
She’s scarily wrong about the 70’s and 80’s, wrong about Orwell explaining that communist revolutions devolve into deadly predatory scams that oppress and consume their dupes…
She’s obviously a mushroom, kept in the dark and fed nothing but bullshit.
i think this pallywoozle creature clicked the link
I googled her. Wow. She ran for congress in 2010. She could have been a Virginia congresswoman. She comes from a background “designing educational software”.
And she was embarrassed by tacky photos of her at what I assume was a Chirstmas party (with three people) turning up online. There’s a lot of black in the photos for a Christmas Party.
1.) Pretending we might make out. Because that’s new and different.

2.) Is that a Swiffer reaching under her skirt-ish thing? A Broom?I don’t even care. This looks awkward and stupid.

Some dude in a reindeer outfit, on a leash, has a red dildo nose. As Tony the Tiger might say, “Grrrrreat”. Then he might dry heave a little and feel a hollow sense disappointment hang over him like a rain cloud for the rest of the day. I know I did. But he’s a tiger with a big commercial gig. I might be underestimating his fortitude.

She said that the photos were released in a sexist bid to make her look like a whore. I would have said stupid, immature, silly, careless, superfluous, imprudent little asshole myself. I don’t think most whores photograph that badly.
She’s a real sad mess. I don’t even want to pick on her anymore. She picks on herself better than I ever could. She’s like Anthony D. Wiener Jr. Girl Edition.
“That Krystal Ball isn’t one of the palantiri.”
I dunno. Looking into her on google caused me to recoil in fear and despair and I am thinking of pulling a Denethor now.

Yep. The Dildo nose wasn’t funny on it’s own. The party photographer needs to keep going with it. People might not get the joke it’s so subtle. Sure, this is a hip room, butthe audience needs some time and repetition to pick up what was being laid down. Christmas humor is a complex subject after all.
“Happy May Day Krystal.”
“Be seeing you.”
I think the takeaway here is that Ball comes from a family with enough crazy in it to have a “Crazy Uncle” table. We had enough kids to fill a table, but not nearly enough crazy.
‘Questions are a burden to others; answers a prison for oneself.’
If you think she’s sad, remember that her parents named her after a fast food place.
Since even a casual read of the book’s wiki would show that her statement is hogwash, then how did such a twisted interpretation come to be spoken on air?
Was it her own and she is of the people who feel that their own reading (rewriting) of the text is the one that matters all evidence and author’s intent to the contrary?
Did one of the MSNBC news-writers dream this up and figure that it could be made to fly with their LIV audience?
Just asking.
Back in the ’80s as the titular year approached there was a huge trend among academics spinning the book as being about the evils of capitalism.
Orwell’s own assertions to the contrary were very much notwithstanding. It may have been my first close encounter with anti-intentionalism.
Thanks McGehee. I’d never heard of that.
It’s possible, isn’t it, that this dumbassed woman with the dumbassed name doesn’t actually know what she presumes to talk about — right? Her mere teleprompter reading cadence tells us of the possibility. That is, it’s possible she is so ignorant and stupid she can’t recognize the imbecility of the story she tells. Though it is also possible that she does know she lies through her teeth and knows that Orwell intends the polar opposite of the narrative she makes here.
But either way, she’s not much worth our attention — a moment’s attention, possibly, just not much more than a moment. As others say, few watch these MSNBC shows so fewer still will come away deceived.
How though, with Jay Carney — from the White House podium — lying through his teeth yesterday?
He knows he lies. There isn’t any doubt of that. It’s his purpose to lie. He lies because he believes he has the proper right to lie, that the meaning of putting his boss IWonPenPhone (and so also of Carney’s position to speak officially for IWonPenPhone) in office is a grant of license to lie with every word to issue from their mouths (and man howdy, to they grab the opportunity or what?). That the meaning of government resides in the happy freedom of the powerful to lie about everything the powerful choose, and moreover, to be believed by the ignorant jackasses over whom they rule.
So, is that the meaning of government?
Is this about that idiot on MSNBC who said something assinine like Animal Farm was about income inequality or some damn thing?
The really sad thing is that MSNBC’s younger audience [*snicker*], likely never having encountered the book, what with the cold war being ancient history and all, has no way of knowing just how contemptably, derisively, embarrassingly stupid that was.
Isn’t it about a college fraternity full of party animals that run up against the university admin and the more traditional conservative fraternities and zany antic ensue?
That’s right. It’s the Comedy Central reimagining set at Nebraska A&M.
Larry the Cable Guy plays Bluto.
Ah reckon its tahm fer a fewd faht! Dass raht! Git ‘er done!
So, is that the meaning of government?
It appears to be the meaning of THIS government. And a number of others throughout the world (Venezuela as a prime example). So maybe the first 150-200 years of our government was a fluke.
In Krystal’s version does one of the pigs learn to herd sheep and has a friend who is a spider?
