Another good guy bites the wax tadpole. This morning, Tony Snow, former White House Press Secretary and FOX News fixture, lost his battle with colon cancer.
Snow had been diagnosed with cancer in 2005. He was 53 years olds, and, from all accounts, a very decent man. He will be missed.
Well, there you have it. We now know how Jesse Jackson feels about Barack Obama. He’d like to “cut his nuts” off.
The remark was made while Jackson was wired for sound for an interview on Fox. Why on Earth Jackson didn’t realize his mic would pick up his whisper is beyond me.
You know what my take on this is? It’s refreshing. It’s refreshing to actually hear what people think when they don’t think they’re being monitored. Like Bush’s “major league asshole” remark regarding Clymer from way back when.
Now, I can only begin to speculate what’s behind Jesse’s outburst. Apparently there’s worse stuff on the tape, but they’re not running it. I don’t really know if I buy that or not, but I do buy that on some level, whatever he now says to the contrary, Jackson would indeed like to cut Obama’s nuts off.
So let me begin to speculate. First, the issue that set it off is Obama’s recent move to support Bush’s faith-based initiatives programs. Jackson predicated the nut-chopping remark by saying that “Barack has been talking down to black people.” Now, I really don’t think that’s fair, myself. I haven’t seen any indications of Obama “talking down” to black people. But by supporting faith-based initiatives, he is talking down to Jesse Jackson. More faith-based iniatives leaves less and less of the spotlight for Jesse and Rainbow/PUSH.
Also, I think plain jealousy is at work here. Jackson wishes he could be the dynamic, one might say “legitimate”, black man running for the White House. He’s certainly tried (much to Bill Clinton’s amusement, apparently, recalling past gaffes on the campaign trail).
If there’s anything positive conservatives can take away from an Obama win in November, it would be that finally, fringe/whacko black “leaders” (read: extortion artists) like Jackson would finally be marginalized. They would have less to whip crows into frothing furies over. They’d have less spotlight.
But, folks, let’s admit it — this story, whether it has legs or not, is just plain fun for a lot of us.
And, for the record, although I disagree with Obama on many, many things, I do not want to chop his nuts off. Mr. Obama may keep his nuts.
Maybe that’s it. Maybe Jackson is just envious of Obama’s huge balls and wants to try to graft them on himself?
It’s not here! It’s here! It’s false patriotism! It’s real patriotism! I support gun control! I don’t support gun control! I support doubling the cap gains tax! I don’t support doubling the cap gains tax!
And, of course, the false patriotism that I, Barack Obama, so derided to my liberal base as the basis for all those flag lapel pins — well, now I’m wearing one, too!
Never in my life have I seen someone flip-flop so violently and so quickly. I don’t even know if Obama knows what he stands for anymore. We do have his voting record, though — the most liberal in the Senate. Which should give you a clue where his true sympathies lie, my fellow “bitter” Americans (but whatever you do, sayeth Obama, don’t cling to your wallet when it comes to giving me money).
So now Obama tries to take the center, flip on the last issue — Iraq (mark my words, it’s coming, he will flip on his Iraq position after his visit there) — and then it’s a contest between the young, hip Obama and…that old guy over there.
Never mind that the old guy has more experience in his little finger that Obama has in a lifetime of wheeling and deal-cutting with the likes of Jeremiah Wright. Never mind that. He’s hip. It’s hip to like Obama. And we, as Americans, as the idiots we are, have a duty to elect people because we think they’re “hip”.
After all, the youth of America supports Obama overwhelmingly, and as we all know, kids are always right about this kind of stuff, aren’t they?
Charles Krauthammer has a great article out this week which ends by stating that the Clintons will look “scrupulous” next to Obama’s sudden hard-changing ways.
And yes, it has begun, and the media has barely even picked it up. Opting out of public financing. Flip-flop on gun control (what happened to all those bitter people clinging to their guns?), and of course, another huge flip-flop on NAFTA, which was iminently predictable.
Okay, so you say he has to move to the center to capture centrist voters. Okay. I’ll buy that. But you have to admit, Obama has changed a lot more of his promises in this campaign than McCain has. What does that say about his word as an American leader during, whether Obama likes it or not (but he’s still “evolving” on this issue, too), wartime?
It’s just politics as usual. Anyone who’s bought into the cult of Obama ought to be ashamed of themselves. The man doesn’t offer “true change” any more than McCain or any other single candidate throughout all the primaries has offered “true change”. It may be hard for Obama fans to accept, but at the bottom line, Obama is a politician.
Right now he’s a liberal one who’d like to move more to the right so he can capture whatever phantom undecided vote is still out there.
George Carlin died today of heart failure at age 71.
In honor of the great man, here is the famous “Seven Dirty Words” routine posted for your enjoyment.
“I love words. I thank you for hearing my words. I want to tell you something about words that I uh, I think is important. I love..as I say, they’re my work, they’re my play, they’re my passion. Words are all we have really.
We have thoughts, but thoughts are fluid. You know, [humming]. And, then we assign a word to a thought, [clicks tongue]. And we’re stuck with that word for that thought. So be careful with words. I like to think, yeah, the same words that hurt can heal. It’s a matter of how you pick them.
There are some people that aren’t into all the words. There are some people who would have you not use certain words. Yeah, there are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven of them that you can’t say on television. What a ratio that is. 399,993 to seven. They must really be bad. They’d have to be outrageous, to be separated from a group that large. All of you over here, you seven. Bad words. That’s what they told us they were, remember? ‘That’s a bad word.’ ‘Awwww.’ There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad Intentions.
And words, you know the seven don’t you? Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits, huh? Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that will infect your soul, curve your spine and keep the country from winning the war.
Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits, wow. Tits doesn’t even belong on the list, you know. It’s such a friendly sounding word. It sounds like a nickname. ‘Hey, Tits, come here. Tits, meet Toots, Toots, Tits, Tits, Toots.’ It sounds like a snack doesn’t it? Yes, I know, it is, right. But I don’t mean the sexist snack, I mean, New Nabisco Tits. The new Cheese Tits, and Corn Tits and Pizza Tits, Sesame Tits Onion Tits, Tater Tits, Yeah. Betcha can’t eat just one. That’s true I usually switch off . But I mean that word does not belong on the list.
Actually, none of the words belong on the list, but you can understand why some of them are there. I am not completely insensitive to people’s feelings. You know, I can dig why some of those words got on the list…like cocksucker and motherfucker. Those are…those are heavy-weight words. There’s a lot going on there, man. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling. They’re just busy words. There’s a lot of syllables to contend with. And those K’s. Those are aggressive sounds, they jump out at you. CocksuckerMotherfuckerCocksucker. It’s like an assault, on you. So I can dig that.
And we mentioned shit earlier, of course. Two of the other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go together of course. But forget about that. A little accidental humor there. Piss and Cunt. The reason Piss and Cunt are on the list is that a long time ago certain ladies said ‘Those are the two I am not going to say. I don’t mind Fuck and Shit, but P and C are out. P and C are out.’ Which led to such stupid sentences as ‘OK, you fuckers, I am going to tinkle now.’
And of course the word Fuck. The word Fuck, I don’t really…well, this is some more accidental humor, but I don’t really want to get into that now. Because I think it takes too long. But I do mean that. I mean, I think the word fuck is an important word. It’s the beginning of life, and, yet it’s a word we use to hurt one other, quite often. And uh, people much wiser than I have said, I’d rather have my son watch a film with two people making love than two people trying to kill one other. And I of course agree. I wish I know who said it first, and I agree with that. But I would like to take it a step further. I would like to substitute the word fuck, for the word kill in all those movie cliches we grew up with. ‘Okay Sheriff, we’re gonna fuck ya now. But we’re gonna fuck ya slow.’ So maybe next year I’ll have a whole fuckin’ rap on that word. I hope so.
Uh, there are two-way words, but those are the seven you can never say on television. Under any circumstances you just can not say them ever, ever ever, not even clinically. You can not weave them in the panel with Doc and Ed and Johnny, I mean it’s just impossible, forget those seven, they’re out.
But, there are some two-way words. There are double-meaning words. Remember the ones your giggled at in sixth grade? ‘And the cock crowed three times.”Hey, the cock the cock crowed three times. It’s in the bible.’ There are some Two-way words, like it’s okay for Curt Gowdy [mis-spelled in original transcription. -ed.] to say ‘Roberto Clemente has two balls on him.’ But he can’t say, ‘I think he hurt his balls on that play Tony, don’t you? He’s holding them. He must have hurt them by God.’ And the other two-way word that goes with that one is prick. It’s okay if it happens to your finger. Yes, you can prick your finger, but don’t finger your prick. No, no.”
I’m gonna miss that lovable, curmudgeony old fuck. Badly. 🙁
Months ago, Barack Obama and John McCain agreed to use public financing in the general election, and accept the restrictions that go along with it. Now Obama has gone back on his promise, while McCain is still keeping it.
Why? Follow the money, stupid. Obama has figured out he’s a fund-raising machine. He can outraise the Clintons. So he wants the money, plain and simple. You’ll hear a lot of talk about how public financing is a “broken” system. Sure. I understand that. The 527s and such can get together and run ads as surrogates for the candidates.
But isn’t this the man who promised us change in politics? Isn’t this the man who has made change his “mantra”, speaking incessantly about it?
At the end of the day, Barack Obama is just another politician, and if you think otherwise, well, you’re an idiot. I’m sorry. You really expect him to be different because he says so? Politicans say whatever they can to get elected. Obama is no different, however historic his skin color may make this race.
“Yes we can” — continue to play the same old dirty pool politicians have been playing since the dawn of time.
If we could fuel our cars with hot air, I think we’d have an incredibly large amount of surplus energy.
Now, I’ve been accused of putting out “McCain propaganda” for grudgingly supporting the Senator for President. As I’ve pointed out over and over, I don’t agree with McCain on a lot of things, but in terms of policies, he’s an infinitely better choice than Obama. Especially if you’re a conservative. McCain may not be Ronald Reagan or even George W. Bush, but he’s not Barack Obama, who opposes drilling for oil…well…anywhere in this country.
First, let’s get this off the table. Oil prices are up largely due to speculation in the oil markets. At least half of the gas price increase has come from gamblers betting on rising oil prices in the futures markets. Thus, part of the answer to getting oil prices down again is taking steps to reign in oil speculation. How do we do that? I’m not entirely sure, but then again, I’m not running for president. I’m just pointing out that the price of oil is unnaturally high, driven there by speculation.
As for ANWR — we didn’t purchase Alaska so we could spend our time ice skating there. We purchased it so we could use the resources it provides. And one of those resources is oil. The oil exploration that would take place in ANWR would be a tiny operation and could possibly produces billions of barrels of oil. To give you an idea of the size we’re talking about, think of the front page of the New York Times. The entire front page. Consider that whole page ANWR. Now consider one letter on that page. That’s the size of the area we want to explore for oil. One letter on one page of the New York Times. And we’ve made great strides in oil exploration technology over the last decades, meaning the environmental impact would be minimal.
Here, you want specifics? ANWR is 19 million acres. That’s about the size of South Carolina. Of those 19 million acres, we are talking about exploring for oil in only 2000 acres, okay? One letter on one page.
So listen, Johnny-boy, offshore oil exploration is a start, but let’s use the resources we have at hand and explore for oil in Alaska. You want my vote, talk more about oil exploration in this country.
We hear a lot about the “oil addiction” and how we need to break that cycle and research alternative fuels. I’m all for that. But you know who does the most research into alternative fuels? Oil companies. Why? Because whoever comes up with viable alternative fuels comes up with wads and wads of cash.
Barack Obama wants to impose a “windfall” tax on oil companies. Typical liberal approach. Tax productivity. Tax progress. Tax success. In other words, if these companies find a lot of oil, Barack Obama wants to tax them so hard that they’re not going to be able to pass those savings onto you. John McCain is not going to do that. We had a president who imposed a windfall tax on oil revenues. His name was Jimmy Carter, and nobody speaks lovingly of the years we spent living under the Carter administration.
We also hear that even if we started going after the oil in our own country right away, it would take at least ten years or so for the effect to be felt. Rubbish. The very fact that we would be opening up new avenues of oil exploration would drive down the speculation. And then there’s this — the very same people who tell us that tell us we need to invest in alternative fuels. I agree. But does investing in alternative fuels pay off immediately? No! Even if we were to start going after the most clean, efficient alternative to oil right now — I’m talking about a little thing called nuclear power — even if we started building nuclear power plants right now, they’d take years to complete. And research into other forms of energy, like hydrogen fuel cells, solar energy, geothermal energy? First, we’re already researching it, because there’s a ton of money to be made for whoever comes up with alternative fuels, as I’ve pointed out. Second, well, investing now in alternative energy options — which is something I think would should do — you think that’s going to pay off right now? You think it’s going to take any less time to have an effect on energy prices and oil prices in particular than opening up domestic avenues of oil exploration immediately would? No, it’s not.
Look, there is no quick fix. Yes, even if we start exploring for oil domestically right now, it’s not going to affect the global market for a few years. Does that mean we shouldn’t do it? Of course not! The same goes for alternative fuels.
And, in the meantime, I am so sick of the masturbatory fantasy of the beautiful “pristine” ANWR being “ransacked” by greedy oil barons that I want to puke. McCain, listen up. Open up ANWR for oil exploration. Say you’d do it immediately. You have a long history of evolving your opinions, right? So evolve them now, and move forward.
Meanwhile, I’d like to end this little rant by pointing out that the fearmongers who come after us with the climate change crap are hypocrites, and the biggest hypocrite of all is Al Gore. The energy Al Gore uses at his house could power 232 regular American households. TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY-TWO OF THEM. And in addition, when it was brought to his addition last year that he was an energy hog, Gore promised to clamp down on his energy use and did a bunch of smiley-face happy-happy joy-joy eco-nut things like installing more solar panels on his house. One year later, Al Gore’s energy consumption is up by 10 percent. So you fearmongers and treehuggers keep supporting your precious Goracle, but know this, and know it now — the inconvenient truth is that Al Gore is a vain, self-obssessed hypocrite.
Let’s open up domestic oil exploration, explore alternative fuels, and get things moving forward. But let’s start with what can do right now, and that’s domestic oil exploration. And John McCain needs to learn right now that he needs to start running to the right and stop bending over backwards to accomodate the left. The country may be disillusioned with George W. Bush (although many of us remaining conservatives are not), but do not confuse animosity towards a man with animosity towards conservatism. George Bush may be dead in the water, but conservatism is alive and well and, frankly, most Americans still agree with most conservative ideas. So start running to the right, Johnny-boy, or you’re just going to end up looking like Obama Lite to my disgruntled conservative brethren. Never mind that you really are fairly conservative, Mr. McCain. You may walk the walk 90% of the time, but you damn well better start talking the talk or people are going to tune you out. I represent your base, Senator McCain, and your base is not excited about you. And that’s a problem. We’re sick of hearing about how ANWR can’t be touched. Grow some balls and start talking about opening up ANWR, Senator McCain. Offshore oil exploration is a start but it’s not enough. Let’s use the resources we have out our disposal, and let’s use them now. And let’s buld some more damn nuclear plants while we’re at it, okay? France is beating us on that one. Do you want to take second place to the French?
Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
Note: For those of you who think I’m some kind of blind robot following McCain, does this clear things up for you? That being said, this message is for the base: Obama will be a disaster. And no, it won’t teach America a damn thing to elect him and have him ruin the country. My fellow conservatives, we are not the ones who want to “punish” the American people. Those would be the liberals. The people who love to see America’s nose bloodied. The effete assholes of the left. Do not sink to their level by rooting for Obama. Do the right — and I do mean “right” — think, for the love of God, and realize that while McCain isn’t perfect, the choice between him and Barack Obama could not be clearer.
Here’s an interesting piece. It’s an op-ed published in the New York Times today which tongue-in-cheekily suggests that Barack Obama could pick up those “bitter” voters he’s looking for…by picking up a pack of Winstons and lighting up again.
Anyway, it’s over here at the New York Times website. Enjoy.
