A mini-Bush Kultist laughs at the suffering of the Brown Man whose country an Imperialist US has invaded and unjustly occupied, leading to a popular uprising against the evil Chimpler and his uneducated, bloodthirsty soldier drones
That’s quite a nice hat he has on there. By the way that is one cute kid.
Jeff,
From your writings, I had pictured you somewhat….older.
We couldn’t find a Rockies cap at Target. Liked the color of this one on him.
Incidentally, the Rockies are 5-2 (4-0 on the road), and have given up the least homeruns in the majors.
They also set the record for runs scored in a series at San Diego’s Petco Park—a notorious pitcher’s park—racking up 34 in a 3 game sweep of the Padres, including 7 runs in 4 innings against Jake Peavy, last year’s K leader and the NL ERA leader in 2004.
Not that I told you so. After all, the season is a marathon, not a sprint. But I just thought I’d bring it up now, while I look like a genius.
He’s got such cute chubby lips! And apparently really likes to wear glasses.
My little feller likes army clothes and that really grosses all the other mommies at the park out.
Cute kid. I’ve got an identical hat on my head at this very moment.
Since we’re posting about being baseball genius prognosticators, the Bosawx are 6-1, and playing better than they did most of last season.
Just saying.
I am following your Roxkies too, sir Jeffy.
And jeebus, get the kid a haircut already-he’s starting to look like a freshman at UskiBoulder.
Stupid hippies.
Ok fine. He’s cute as hell.
Yeah. That kid needs a haircut and some chores, Goldstein. Prove those conservative bona fides! Put in a woodpile for him to stack.
I note the support of Texas, occupiers of Mexico.
Jeff, he is the cutest little bunny.
I’m sure your state has a law against being that cute which child services can use against evil neocon Broncos fans.
Hook ‘em, Neocons!
Excellent work, Herr Goldstein. As I always say, got to start them young.
If they can kneel, they are in the right position to supplicate to the Racist, European Christoban Goddess!
Very cool hat!!!
Could he be any cuter? I don’t think so.
Now, stop showing off.
Or…are you trying to make those feminist hypocrites feel bad?
If so. Keep up the good work.
That’s a cute kid. The mailman must be a very handsome man.
As for baseball, the Braves don’t even start playing hard until the Rockies have been eliminated.
Which should be in another month or so.
Doesn’t the Gymboree branch in your town have a Junior Junior ROTC program, dammit?!
Chickenhawklette!
He’d look a lot scarier without the little duckie on his shirt.
I’m always surprised to see UT stuff outside of Austin. BTW – damn cute kid u got there
beautiful kid. lousy hat.
Wow. A smile he could be arrested for..as it adds to global warming.
What bribes are you using? The twins will laugh, giggle and grin like jack-o-lanterns right up to the time I get out the camera… then they strike a pose of 3 1/2 going on 17.
For God’s sake get that hat off of his head before it immasculates him. You do know that’s a steer don’t you?
You know the saying,(or maybe you don’t) “Steers and queers; nowhere but Austin.”
I can’t help it I’m an Aggie.
Awesome hat, Jeff. And look at those chompers!! Kid could eat anything (hobos, cats?) with a facefull of teeth like that.
He sure is a cute kid.
I forget how long I’ve been reading PW, but don’t recall any shots of his Mom, surely he must take after her though…
What a cutie, Rovian Damian that he is!
The hat, I think, bears the familiar steer logo of Ted’s of Beverly Hills (which claims to have invented the foil wrapped baked potato and the Ted, rum and coke). Happy Passover (and in a few days the bunny holiday too).
Hook ‘em, spawns.
By the way, don’t you think Spawns would be a great name for a baseball team? Especially Little League.
What a smart young man.
Of course, it wouldn’t be prudent for him to be wearing, say, a CU hat. I mean, after what happened here in Houston back in December … whoops, Jamaal Charles just scored again.
Fear the cow.
I think the kid’s rented. Jeff gets him from the same service where NBC rents Muslims.
I just want to pick him right up and squeeeeeze him. What a cutie!!
Somewhat odd that Mona, the World’s Most Fucking Stupidest Commenter, Actus, beetroot, KM and prozacula have nothing to say about the heir to the Throne of Evil.
I mean, if they were actually trying to have a conversation, a good-natured dialogue, you’d think they would perform all of the niceties.
But they are honestly trying to elevate the discourse in a civil mannner, of course. No time for humans. [crickets]
TEXAS!? that cute little boy deserves so much better.
Sorry, KM, on many levels…I meant MF
[banishing self out of shame]
Don’t let any of the haters bother you, the hat looks good on him, just picure it in about 19 or 20 years, as he wears it while the reporters interview him after leading the ‘Horns to another NCAA championship…
HOOK ‘EM HORNS!!!
Am I the only one seeing a little Judd Nelson in that last picture?
…yeah, I was afraid of that.
t/w: growing
Hoooooo, boy…..
You’ve got about another 10 minutes before he starts putting moves on the teenagers handing out Happy Meals (TM)….and only 12 before he starts succeeding.
All is well now as he grows but what happens when he is exposed, nay inculated, by the left in their mendacious, multicultural mills of mediocrity better known as the Public School System? Will he be able to withstand the power of the ‘Farce’? Can he
withstand the siren call of the leader of the other side, Uomi Zogimme? Stay tuned to this Blog for the next episode, same fire time, same fire station.
P.S. in response to your secret word: scissors
What a sweet little boy… And don’t listen about the haircut; it’s the best when you can get some relentlessly gender-neutral mom to say, “What a sweet little girl!” and you get to stare her down.
It’s OK for the kid to be a fan. We’re defending national champs in football and baseball. Only elite eight in baketball, though.
“Baketball?” Is the Food Channel going athletic? I can’t imagine Jeff foisting off an Eazy Bake Oven on this kid for Christmas. Although, I have heard that many of the scholarship athletes at Texas are majoring in Home Economics.
I understand an old Israeli archaeologist named Bugenhagen has a set of antique daggers he’d like to sell you…
It’s probably nothing, though.
SB: moment

Adorable – that’s what makes life worth the living. My little guy turns 2 today. Maybe he and Satch will join forces to fight the leftards on some future day.
Pardon my gaff. I meant to say Hanukah. I am sending myself to Cultural Sensitivity Classes as soon I finish my class on “Ethics in the MSM, Yes or No”.

As a grajuite of a4said system I would like to correct your spelling to the preferred, Publik Skool Sistem.
Everybody, I want you to practice putting condoms on bananas, for your own good.
I am a former student of Texas A&M, which has had a long-running rivalry with University of Texas, the logo and school colors of which adorn the hat worn by the cutie-pie. While it irks me no end, and goes against all my Aggie training and maroon-principles, I have to admit that is one cute kid, even with the “teasip” hat. (We Aggies call the highfalutin’ UT students “teasips” because they act so refined and all…)
May I suggest that a nice maroon hat with a thumbs-up sign on it (an Aggie “Gig-em!” sign) would also go well on that young feller’s head?
I realise that father’s generally don’t want to hear this, but; Your son would make a beautiful woman.
Jeff – I am “deeply troubled” by what appears to be a small baby duck on the lad’s shirt. Coupled with the “Horns” hat, how can one but conclude that you are passing along to this young “ward of the nanny state” your misguided belief that animal exploitation is permissible? Have you not empathy for the difficulty you are creating for the indoctrination commissars of the “Publik Skool Sistem”? No feeling for how this lad will be ridiculed by his “betters”? Or do you intend to isolate your beautiful young charge in Dick Cheney Elementary, The Rumsfeld Magnet School for Fascists and West Point? Oh, the Humanity!
If you let him wear that hat for too long, he might grow up to a Womyn’s Studies Major.

Vercingetorix spews:
Well, Jeff’s cute boy is that; cute. Great. But I’m a tad more concerned that the Bush Admin is going to take us to disaster in Iran—they should not be the ones dealing with this dangerous situation. The generals continue to revolt against this incompetent Administration:

That’s strange, Mike in Austin. We call Aggies “terminally envious also-rans who go to school in a stagnant, Chili’s-ridden cesspool.”

Man, that’s a good looking (and happy looking) young lad.
re: Steve in Houston: I wish I’d gone to the University of Florida. I found out during the final four that they offer a “Recreation” major.
Mona, I don’t ‘spew’;
I taunt, excoriate, mock, tease, jeer, sneer, sear, goad, insult, criticize, ridicule, snipe, provoke, ridicule, tease, make fun of, laugh at, poke fun at, scorn, scoff at, deride, taunt, lampoon and on occasion; mimic, imitate, parody, ape, caricature, and satirize and play the dozens.
Of course, only to people who refuse to debate any point at all, but rely on a private menagerie of sound-bytes.
Vercingetorix writes:
Uh, ok.
You have a military background, do you not? I don’t at all, and am in no position to make my own independent assessments of any strategy or tactics, or whether a proposed military action is sensible and winnable or not.
So what do you think all of these disaffected generals mean? If they claim Iraq is a mess due to Bush and Rumsfeld, is there some reason I or anyone should be ignoring that as moonbat, America-hating drivel?
Seriously. As a person with no military acumen, isn’t it reasonable for me to be listening to these men?
Mona’s post provided a rare insight into what drives our seemingly insurmountable political divide. Jeff’s post (the pictures of his son) illustrates that which to him is most important. He, as do others on the right, battle liberal ideas for the sake of their children. Liberals, as shown by Mona’s flip dismissal, battle conservative ideas based upon the here and now, for the sake of their own convenience and personal perspectives.
What isn’t reasonable is that you apparently listen to these men only.
Give equal weight to the words of Gen. Pace, Gen. McInierny, et. al.
Mona, just to be sure: You aren’t advocating that members of the military should be influencing Executive branch privileges of appointment through public channels, are you?
BeReal writes:
I’m not a liberal in any but the classical sense. Neither did I intend to comment in this thread, but Vercingetorix made specific note that I wasn’t doing so, so I explained why.
Jeff’s little boy is very cute. Jeff seems like a terrific dad.
In the meantime, we have a lot of people’s boys and girls in harm’s way in Iraq and Afghanistan, and some are beating war drums to take on Iran as well. But many retired generals are coming forward to denounce Rumsfeld and the way Iraq has been handled. I think that phenomenon is striking, and means something very, very not good about who is in charge. The idea that incompetents are going to be dealing with the dangerous situation in Iran fills me with dread.
[low bow to Sensei BeReal; I still have to do this, everywhere it seems]
I’ve addressed lots of those points on other threads, from troop levels to application of force, to the Rules of Engagement to the stressor of the Media cycle and the concept of Velocity in military operations (a speed scalar [technically displacement] with a vector of direction), the difference between revolutionary warfare and the typical Western way of battle.
The number of questions I received from you?
Zero.
Now if you do not understand military matters (an army is a bit more complicated than a bunch of swinging cocks with three-foot black steel penises in hand), you should listen to people that do. That includes generals.
What you cannot do is to tabulate a short list of people for or against the thing. For the love of all that is high and holy, you should at least understand that the military is not a democracy. And nobody gives a damn about his therapy bills; nobody cares about how he feels about the war.
Any general making a point will state a reason for disavowing the war (or he should if he’s on the up and up). Bring it here and I will eviscerate for you so you can pack it back to Kos and Greenwald in a doggie bag.
I’m advocating that when so many generals come forth to declare that Rumsfeld is incompetent, that is striking, and I pay attention.
BTW, it doesn’t matter if it’s a private citizen or a general or a Private soldier making a claim.
The claim is what is important. That is all.
Fortunately, you’re not CIC.
To the Generals:
Shut up and soldier.
I am not suffciently knowledgable about such things to assess your claims, or ask you intelligent questions.
It seems to me that when so many generals come forward saying the same thing—that Rumsfeld is arrogant and incompetent—that means something important. Gen. Newbold was outraged when Rice blamed the problems in Iraq on tactical mistakes—that is, she blamed the military. I suspect these generals are coming forward to prevent what they anticipate is going to be the Adminstration’s attempt to deflect blame for the failure in Iraq onto the armed services.
And btw, I have never commented at Kos, and almost never read there.
Hmmm. Was that your position when Tommy Franks was promoting the war and his book?
Well, then you are not able to carry on a debate, are you? And if you are not able to carry on a debate, even in the most rudimentary fashion, why bother pretending to?
And if you are so facile, why not accept my authority?
And if you cannot reason your objection or your support for any particular claim, by definition, you do not have a reasonable position.
What gives you the right to question any one else’s position if you cannot even attempt the barest logic in defense?
You are not open to reason.
You do not have a reasonable position.
You refuse to learn.
Are we just about done here, Mona? Can you just go the hell back to Greenwald’s site? You have nothing to add here.
Well, I disagree, obviously. I asked you what you think it signifies when so many generals come forward to decry the Sec’y of Defense as arrogant and incompetent. If you are a past or present member of the military, your opinion as to what that signifies would be interesting to me.
1) Because we are at war so A) people will listen
to what a general will say and B) if there is anything to disagree about, war has got to be it because C) as Generals, it is their pet theories (remember Shock and Awe? that wasn’t Rumsfeld’s brainchild, that was the brass) and D), especially, their systems that are being gored (like the Crusader and the Commanche and maybe the V22, JSF, Raptor, and DDX, too).
2)Rumsfeld was a son of a bitch to work for to begin with and would have been in peace time. Now he is reorganizing and reequipping the military. Lots of people disagree with lots of his ideas, but in the Pentagon, you don’t disagree, you go to war over your turf. But again, as ambitious as the transformation Rummy is engineering at the DOD, people will hate his guts.
Not every 1-4 stars has earned their angel merit badges with their stripes.
3-x) Opportunism, personal dislike, personal disagreements, stubbornness. And there are also legitimate disagreements, but we’ve already covered this and why you absolutely will not play.
Check out the big brain on Vercingetorix!
Or the thesaurus.
What’s really sad is not Mona’s inability to debate. It’s the insistence on making her talking points on a KidBlogging post.
There’s more to life than politics. There’s family, there’s culture, there’s responsibility and entertainment and pleasure and a thousand other things. One of the ugliest aspects of the Left is the attempt to turn everything into politics, and then to turn politics into talking points.
2 sentences. Then, back to today’s talking point. How sad.
It isn’t that I “won’t” play; I’m not competent to engage in discussion of military strategies and tactics. I’d have as much business weighing in on who has the better argument wrt natural selection in the punctuated equilibrium debate among evolutionary biolgists.
But I can observe interesting political developments, such as these generals all coming forward to diss Rumsfeld, or the political controversy over Intelligent Design.
And Jay:
Right. And as I’ve said already, I didn’t intend to comment here, but Vercingetorix cited that I wasn’t doing so, so I explained myself. I’m extremely concerned about the situation wrt Iran, especially in light of how incompetently Bush has handled Iraq. Just wasn’t in the mood to weigh in on Jeff’s little boy; but I note that Jeff introduced the fotos with a political parody regarding Bush Kultists and Chimpler. So apparently he, no less than I, also thinks everything is about politics.
I agree with Mona. Jeff’s cute boy is…well…cute. But since we don’t have a natianal healthcare plan here in America, I have to pay for my stomach stapling out of my own pocket! MY OWN GODDAM MONEY!!
Money I had earmarked for Hostess’s new “Twinkie Suitcase” – the resealable box that holds 100 twinkies with a handle to boot.
100 TWINKIES!!!
Would the Goldstein cherub look so happy if he were staring a 2-day-stint without snack cakes square in the face?

You had to stain the place with a blasted University of Texas hat. WTH is a Colorado guy doing with a University of Texas hat? Put a Buffaloes hat on the boy, or at least a Texas A & M hat.
MY EYES!!!!!!!
Mona,
Would it have killed you to let go of politics for one day? For one post? Just one?
Put aside your talking points. Put aside your passive-aggressive “I’m right you’re wrong but I won’t debate” attitude.
Smell the flowers. Pet a dog. Watch your cat play with her cat toys. Live life.
Tomorrow, there will be more talking points. Tomorrow, but not today.
Oh, GAWD… Moan is trotting her little generals out ..with never a thought to the POLITICS that exist within the officer corps, getting even MORE political the higher up you go…
EARTH to Moan
We either keep the pressure on radical Islamists and the systemic EVIL they represent and spread right now or we will follow France into becoming part of the modern Caliphate under Sharia within a couple of generations. And France will go Islamic within 25 years if it doesn’t radically stop what is currently happening.
See, Moan, I actually HAVE children, like Jeff. I have FOUR daughters and 2 grandsons. I have an actual stake in a future where my female descendents are not forced to wear tents, be raped with impunity and sold into polygamy like cattle or where my male descendents hold such a psychotic view of interpersonal relationships between the sexes they would happily slit the throat of their mothers and sisters if “dishonor” was brought upon the family.
THAT is the future you cannot help but bequeath them when you pooh-pooh Islamism and our war footing with it.
Sorry, Moan. You are declaring yourself MY enemy.
Better rethink your position.
Mona,
Civilian control of the military. Learn what it means, and do some growing up.
Well, Jeff. I resisted temptation, but finally submitted. I’m throwing the gauntlet down. It’s time for the cute-kid-off.
Here are my twins. Be humbled in the face of pure cuteness.
Jeff, you may be an evil conservative, but I’ll hand it to you: You reproduce well. The kid is a doll (but a manly, totally not girly AT ALL doll).
Then for the love of God SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Christ on a friggin’ crutch how stupid can one person be?
Cute boys, nukemhill.
Thanks! I think so. I know it was a completely unnecessary troll for links, but I couldn’t resist.
They’re so cute I had to join the throwdown.
I saw Jeff’s cute baby and your twins, and raised you a baby’s daddy and the baby’s daddy’s daddy.
Yours, too, tee bee. What do I have to do? Go rent some kids to compete?
