“You know what really irks me, counterculture icon Billy Jack? The fact that there are those who still question my ‘authenticity’ as a Black man. This despite the color of my skin — a burden with which I was born and, through hard work and some Great Society mau-mauing, I have since overcome in this, your Benighted States of America. Then there’s the inconvenient fact that my father was a bona fide Black man, something that those who think me somehow less of a brother are quick to bracket.
And that’s not even to mention my crossroads experience at the politico-spiritual nexus that is Black Liberation Theology — an experience that, though it certainly hasn’t shaped my thinking in any important way, just as my father’s religion never did, should nevertheless count for something with those true people of faith who wish to follow Christ’s collectivist message of redemption through the state. Unless these folks are white, of course, in which case, they wouldn’t understand. Like my grandmother, for instance. God bless her beautiful and kindly cracker-ass soul. | |

“I hear you, O! I mean, shit, man. People have been questioning my authenticity for years, and it’s like, ‘uh, Kemosabe? — do you not see the fucking hat…?’
“Not only that, but I have a nightstand full of feathers and turquoise jewelry that would make Pocahontas get all moist in her native nethers. So, you know, who’s the poser now, Pale Faces…? |

Oh, sweet Jesus, just make it go away . . .
TW: perhaps if you mix Sheehan and Rockwell you could find a political center?
Okay, you just added “black socks” – now (ALTHOUGH I DO NOT WANT TO IMAGINE LEW ROCKWELL HAVING SEX WITH ANYONE, LET ALONE . . . ) you’re right about that. Socks and slippers.
‘Cause you gotta be comfy.
TW: taking. The possibilities are endless, really . . .
Man, Cindy’s still a, um, healthy, yeah that’s it, healthy-looking girl after a 40 day fast.
With sock garters.
She bought 5 acres of land.
For you non-farmer types, that about 300 ft x 725 ft.
For you non-housing developer types, that’s about 15-20 houses.
So how many deserters can you stash away on 300 x 725 ft? I guess she isn’t expecting a lot of business.
THE GOGGLES, THEY DO NOTHING!
Aw hell; a chopper floral lace and stretch spandex corset girdle (black)… with firm midriff control.
And all-around boning.
TW: Music. Bow chick-a bow wow-ww.
She meant “desserters” fleeing Bush’s illegal war. Ice cream smoothies all around!
Christ, I misread that and thought you wrote Norman Rockwell, and that was just wrong man.
And Jamba Juice!
How many licks does it take to get to the political center…?
[…]
Oh, I am SO going to hell, aren’t I? Even the TW says so.
Latest Frisch fry:
With a cameo appearance in the comments.
TW: corps. Dang, where’s an ‘e’ when you need one.
BUSH PREVARICATED, FLIERS WERE DEHYDRATED!
— Jim Treacher, who really needs to work on it
Evil twin: FORNICATION JOKE!
Me: Get thee behind me!
BTW, don’t forget that Ace’s fundraiser ends this weekend. I mean, in case you think he’s one of the hardest working guys in the blogosphere and you read him a lot, and you can get over that vague resemblance to George Lucas.
And, if not, you know what? You’re probably just an anti-georgelucaslookalikeite.
Bastards.
No surprise, it was Thursday night.
Seems to be the, “Let’s get shit-yer-pants drunk and lay turds all over the place” night.
Plus, God hate him, because he can’t find a beautiful woman who shares his interest in Dungeons and Dragons 4.0 and Hall & Oates. So, please be generous.
Okay, I just don’t get it. Does she think she’s gonna fucking secede, or what? How does she propose to keep the MPs from coming onto her mansionette and taking them away?
Billy’s gonna whup they asses, that’s what.
After a large catered fast, her guests will simply be too fat to roll off the property.
Is it just me or did the diet, er…fast not work?
Every time I see this woman it seems like gravity reached up and grabbed another hold!
Center? Hardly. Rockwell is as nutty as Sheehan is.
“Gimme them cheeks, bitch!” – Gravity
From a post on “Natasha Henstridge in Species” to this particular piece of imagery? Jarring. I think I need a beer. Several, in fact. And some good entertainment, like perhaps a dancing armadillo.
That was implied, wasn’t it Sarah?
Give us the ‘dillo, dude. What, do you want us to BEG?!
-OT – The fucking UN is jumping the shark big time, and Isreal is getting the royal screw job, while we’re getting a head fake from Condi and Regis’s mustache.
– If this bullshit resolution is whats for dinner Natenyahoo is in and Olmert is a gone goose.
– Kofi does his usual “Oh this is so wonderful, of course we would have done this much much sooner if it was up to us”. What they did was give in to every fucking thing HPezbollah wanted. What a pile of assholes. Geesus, how I’d like to see that SOB in jail.
I don’t know. I think there should be livestock involved. Because then it would be interesting. Ya know?
http://hotair.com/archives/2006/08/11/suicide-note-written-for-righty-blogger-traced-to-deb-frischs-ip-address/
Because there are places for this and not places for this.
Also, Ace seems to think that Olmert’s on the right track. Send him money, anyway. I mean, the guy looks vaguely like George Lucas, and usually he’s right, so . . . .
Also, I think that Jeff might as well give the ‘dillo a name. Like Fatty Arbuckle, or something.
Furthermore, from now on, Green Helmet Man should be known as “famous director Helmut Greene.” That’s just my suggestion.
My daughter’s whining to play with the computer, so I’ve got to go, but here. Please rearrange this for Cindy Sheehan:
Bob Elgin, Luther Dixon and Kay Roger)
He took a hundred pounds of clay
And they He said “Hey, listen”
“I’m gonna fix this-a world today”
“Because I know what’s missin’ “
Then He rolled his big sleeves up
And a brand-new world began
He created a woman and-a lots of lovin’ for a man
Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did
With just a hundred pounds of clay
He made my life worth livin’
And I will thank Him every day
For every kiss you’re givin’
And I’ll thank Him every night
For the arms that are holdin’ me tight
And He did it all with just a hundred pounds of clay
Yes he did, whoa-oh, yes He did
Now can’tcha just see Him a-walkin’ ‘round and ‘round
Pickin’ the clay uppa off the ground?
Doin’ just what He should do
To make a livin’ dream like you
He rolled His big sleeves up
And a brand-new world began
He created a woman and-a lots of lovin’ for a man
Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did
With just a hundred pounds of clay
[Fade]
People, let me tall ya what He did
With just a hundred pounds of clay
Dan, are you getting a commission from Ace or something?
The “Billy” hat quest from not so long ago, is truly starting to make sense now. A new “Billy Jack” hat,a quick photoshop lesson,and the next thing you know ….voila!!!!…check out my dancing `dillo. I`m gonna have a long talk with the dolphin `bout this.
’Dillos? We don’ need no steenking ‘dillos!
Can’t beleive I’m first to say this, from internet whore to media whore in the span of what? 30 days? What a pathetic poor excuse and watse of stretched flesh…..
That Seattle PI story was … astounding. I kept trying to find the label indicating “editorial” or even “analysis” (code in many wire stories for editorial).
But it’s (allegedly) a fucking news story.
I don’t know why this still surprises me.
Well, it is pretty blatant Steve.
So, then, the reporter called for some MPs?
No, that wouldn’t be the “Mike Wallace” thing to do, would it now?
And, too bad, Canada is not very friendly to deserters now – I know I live out West, but even liberal Canucks I know think the American servicemen here AWOL (who are in the middle of their Immigration & Refugee hearings) are little sh*ts. Besides which, the Canadian gov’t is actually prosecuting these guys for illegal status – that didn’t happen during Vietnam.
But I guess those who “attended the convention on military leaves” are probably aware of this by now.
I’m suprised this dingbat hasn’t hooked up with those religious nutjobs that protest the funerals of our service men and women. The head lady in that group and Cindy would get along famously.
Well, being the history nut that I am, I kind of long for the days of old, when a bunch of construction workers would have sauntered down to Ms. Sheehan’s place, and gotten to know those “troops” a little more personally.
Not that I advocate violence or anything.
And unfortunately those construction workers today are probably fairly dimunitive and speak with a pretty heavy accent.
TW: often. I don’t advocate violence often.
Meg Q, I’m guessing a lot of Canadians are generally pretty irritated with US attitudes towards the GWN, and I would think they’d be truly pissed off about our irresposible military dregs using you and your country as a safety valve, both in military and in welfare terms.
At least the various Baldwins and such haven’t descended upon your country, despite their threats.
Back in 2000 after the election, my brother started making noise about moving to Toronto because of “the situation” in the US. Then he did some consulting work in Buffalo in February, and that was pretty much that. He also started looking at the tax rates between here and there. Again: That’s that. Now he works for an oil exploration company, getting a very respectable wage, and that cracks me up.
On a complete tangent, I’ve often wondered what it would be like if we could somehow entice Alberta, Edmonton, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and even British Columbia into the States.
The crucial oil, grain and freshwater resource haul would be immense for both sides, and we could get rid of the timber disputes just like that. Also, Alaska could finally officially join the prestigious club of contiguous states!
And then we could get a serious rivalry going on between my hometown and Calgary for the biggest rodeo on the planet.
Seriously: I’m fantasizing about Canada. Do I need to worry about this?
Steve, I’m an American married to a Canadian, and, believe me, there’s a healthy western separation movement up here. People split over whether they’d like to actually join the U.S., or just have a “commonwealth”-type relationship, or a new independent country, or what. “Western alienation” is actually part of the political talk up here, though that’s calmed down a lot since the Tories won the last election (and a Westerner became PM), and I expect will subside even more when (not if) the Conservatives win a majority gov’t.
Check it out: Western Canadian conservatism at The Western Standard. Though, I warn you, read around there very much and you’ll become very discouraged about the Mounties. Americans have an idealized view of the RCMP . . . well, that’s all I’ll say. My own disillusionment was tough. (Though of course there are lots of good officers.)
“Back in 2000 after the election, my brother started making noise about moving to Toronto because of “the situation†in the US.”
Of course, considering that from an American perspective the Canadian Conservatives are, on some issues, close to or to the “left” of the U.S. Democrat party, many Americans who made this threat for some reason never made good on it . . . yeah, the taxes, and insane real estate in all metro areas.
Also, we have no Target stores up here. How I’ve survived for 2 years, I don’t know. Well, b/c I love my husband. But, someone who’s moved here for political reasons, I don’t think they could handle it!
TW: wife. Yes, that’s why.
Target should be boycotted for banning the Salvation Army at Christmas. BTW I am an atheist but truly the Salvation Army is the only charity I can think of that has my unalloyed admiration.
”ostensibly maintaining their commitments to fighting global terrorism”
I’m not a cindy sheehan fan. but interesting that you note “ostensibly.” someone does not agree with your viewpoint about what the best strategy is, so therefore they can not really be serious about thwarting terrorism?
I know you will argue to the cows come home about this point, but I think you know that is because there is some truth to it.
i see this time and time and time and time again (even Lieberman has this theme. people dont share his vision of “middle east reform” because they think it will do more harm than good—maybe they are wrong, maybe they are right, who knows, but the point is, since they dont share the same view point as the far right, therefore, they just cant be serious about thwarting terrorism.
while, sure, this may apply to a handful of liberals, (and a republican here or there as well), in general, this characterization is, in the words of my favorite spin doctor,
‘Deeply, profoundly, and consistently,wrong.”
Okay, Intensive Care, you’re on. Outline your plan.
O God, Dan, no….
InContinent: Can you try and keep it short?
I.C.’s plan consists of posting 10,000-word comments on the terrorists’ blogs and getting their hosting accounts cancelled for chronically exceeding their bandwidth allotments.
ahem—
He doesn’t have a plan, unless it’s the one McGehee mentioned.
No, someone whose only solution is to surrender is obviously not serious about fighting. Also it is apparent to those of us with unclouded perception that her sympathies lie with the other side.
I.C., we have all heard a lot of plans over the years from everyone. The only plans that are not acknowledged and debated by one side of the blogosphere are the plans put forth by Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Iran, and all the groups that cling to Jihadist Supremacy.
They are very blunt with their plans, they have not been shy about them at all. So:
Do you think their plans are open to negotiation?
If so, why?
If so, what is the appropriate counter-offer?
If there is a diplomatic counteroffer that has not been heard, what is it?
Why do you think it has not been heard before? [N.B., please remember, a lot of intelligent people have pondered this for years.]
Now, assuming that the other side is serious, and their position is non-negotiable at this time, what would make their position negotiable?
Now, assuming that the other side is serious, and their position is non-negotiable, what are you willing for you side to give up to make their position negotiable?
Now, assuming that the other side is serious, and their position is non-negotiable, and you are serious that your side’s position is non-negotiable, what is there left to talk about right now?
And please realize I know what “assume” means, and please realize that I believe that there is no evidence to belay my assumptions (you are welcome to bring evidence to prove me wrong on that point).
So…what do we do now?
A very human question, indeed.
