'Niners In!

San Francisco, Buffalo lead this week's NFL Bottom 10

The winless 49ers and Bills seem to have no defense as they have given up the most points in the league this season — 87 in three games.

Faithful Dog No Lassie

Sad news, but from the "Doesn't bother us because we're still alive, & it could have been us" file.
Director Quentin Tarantino's longtime film editor, who went hiking with her dog amid the extreme heat Monday, was discovered dead early Tuesday morning by searchers in Bronson Canyon, according to law-enforcement sources.

Award-winning film editor Sally Menke, 56, worked on such movies as "Pulp Fiction," "Kill Bill" and "Jackie Brown."

[...]

Menke's body was found just after 2 a.m. at the bottom of a ravine near the 5600 block of Green Oak Drive in Bronson Canyon.

Her dog was sitting next to her body, which was about a football field's length from nearby homes.
Also about a football field or two's length from the Bronson caves, where we hike when we get off our lard-filled ass. Glad we had no desire to do fuck-all yesterday or today.

Absolutely The Best Possible Bus Ride EVER!

No sooner had we gotten this shot of these poor socialist bastards doing something for the common good in the hot sun & secured the camera
than a limited bus appeared, starting its run in the middle of the route. We got on, first & only passenger; no discharges, no pick-ups. Straight to our stop, stopping only at red lights. Will never happen again.
People will do anything.

Good One On What Pieces Of Crap The Constitution & Courts Really Are

Read it & realize it!

These are accomplishments of which we can be justifiably be proud as a nation. Many of these things would not be possible in much of the world today. 

I just don’t think these things have very much to do with the constitution.

I have four points I want to make today against constitutional idolatry, which is my label for our misguided tendency to blindly worship the Constitution, giving it credit for all the things we love and honor about our country.

(1) The Framers’ constitution, to a large degree, represented values we should abhor or at least reject today.

(2) There are parts of the Constitution with which we are still stuck today even though we would never freely choose them and they are impossible to defend based on contemporary values.

(3) For the most part, the Constitution is irrelevant to the current political design of our nation.

(4) The rights protections we do enjoy today, the importance of which I do not minimize, are mostly a function of political and social mores, which have dramatically evolved over time and owe relatively little to courts using the Constitution to protect them.

The Never-Ending List:
Why We Hate This Fucking Country
& Those Who Inhabit It

A new survey of Americans' knowledge of religion found that atheists, agnostics, Jews and Mormons outperformed Protestants and Roman Catholics in answering questions about major religions, while many respondents could not correctly give the most basic tenets of their own faiths.

Forty-five per cent of Roman Catholics who participated in the study didn't know that, according to church teaching, the bread and wine used in Holy Communion is not just a symbol, but becomes the body and blood of Christ.
Yet these shitheels (Not singling out the Holy Roman Empire of Perversion here, they're all despicable.) want to shove their unexamined, uncomprehended values down our throats.
More than half of Protestants could not identify Martin Luther as the person who inspired the Protestant Reformation. And about four in 10 Jews did not know that Maimonides, one of the greatest rabbis and intellectuals in history, was Jewish.

The survey released Tuesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life aimed to test a broad range of religious knowledge, including understanding of the Bible, core teachings of different faiths and major figures in religious history. The U.S. is one of the most religious countries in the developed world, especially compared to largely secular Western Europe, but faith leaders and educators have long lamented that Americans still know relatively little about religion.
What do Americans know about? There's a survey we'd like to see. You can see it too, we just made it:
As filled in by an average American.
You stupid fucking sheep. We hate each of you w/ the standard burning white heat of a large number of stars. More proof there is neither a gawd nor intelligent life in this nation of sheep.

The Destroyer

Dennis Green  has been educating the masses (unwashed droolers that they are) at Balloon Juice as to the similarities between the current forces of reaction in This Great Nation of Ours® (We kid, because we hate this scab of a nation!) & the late & somewhat unlamented Confederate States of America.

All good, and this excerpt from today is clarifying:
In another lecture Blight discussed the very different ways that the Confederates and Unionists viewed the US Constitution:
Now, another argument here, and again Phil Paludan has made this better than anyone I think, is he’s argued that southerners and northerners have sort of come to view the U.S. Constitution, this document we live under, in different ways; that northerners had come to see the Constitution as a kind of protector, much violated now by Kansas-Nebraska Act, Dred Scott decision, et cetera, whereas southerners had come to see that constitution more as a destroyer, as something to fear, that might, if the wrong people get hold of it, begin to attack or erode their society…
Like democracy, the Constitution is a good thing, as long as the plebes & proles don't get a hold of it & pervert it into a suicide pact for businessmen.

1200?

And we quote:
TheBoogaloozoo | September 26, 2010
The Beverly Hills Tea Party was held. About 1200 people which is a shock considering the location. Celebrity speakers and some wonderful people. Blacks, Mexican, Caucasians, Indians, Iranians, German, Italians and Israeli's. All were protesting peacefully. But many Liberals that drove by weren't so peaceful. So it appears the haters are really Liberals.
We were there from just past 1500 until the bitter end, & there was little change in crowd size. Those extra 1,000 or so patriots could have come & gone between 1400 & 1500. Sure.

By the way, if these two little victims of exploitation have the right to stand on the sidewalk looking like ninnies (Or, this being a fascist society, they don't have the right to self-determination, & were forced, possibly by threat of starvation, to perform like a pair of organ-grinder's monkeys.) don't people who drive by them have the very same right to express their views?

"Liberals" that drove by weren't "peaceful?" How? Rocks hurled? Punches thrown? We think not.

Marty Peretz' Party

Peretz, one of America's leading hate-mongers, quite possibly on the way to burn a cross on someone's lawn, or break a few windows at a mosque, is confronted by brain-washed libs who don't have jobs or zillionaire wives.Worth pausing to read the signs w/ Peretz quotes.

The Hollywood Reporter takes a slightly different view of things. They quote from yesterday's Bagging event.
"Their business model is going to crap not because they can't figure out CGI or 3D," Breitbart said, "it's because they have a contempt for their audience."
Right again, Andrew. Certainly someone who likes to screech about the left's "plausible-deniability McCarthyism" & "Alinsky tactics" while equating social justice w/ communism has the greatest respect for his audience.

U.S. Is Working to Ease Wiretapping on the Internet

Federal law enforcement and national security officials are preparing to seek sweeping new regulations for the Internet, arguing that their ability to wiretap criminal and terrorism suspects is "going dark" as people increasingly communicate online instead of by telephone.

Essentially, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications -- including encrypted e-mail transmitters like BlackBerry, social networking Web sites like Facebook and software that allows direct "peer to peer" messaging like Skype -- to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order. The mandate would include being able to intercept and unscramble encrypted messages.

Missed It By That Much

Oh, this is where David (so inconsequential we forgot even to mention his bit at the B.H. Tea Party) Horowitz was headed.
Confirmed panelists for the September 26 forum include David Horowitz, founder and CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Cliff May, president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and Mona Charen, syndicated columnist, author, and political analyst.

"This group of experts will explore the many issues that concern Americans at this critical time," said Matthew Brooks, Executive Director of the JPC. "Energy, the War on Terror, Obamacare, the role of government, and foreign policy - there is no shortage of topics that will be covered in this interactive and wide-reaching discussion about securing America's future."

The Saban Theatre is located at 8440 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90211.

The event is free to the public, but registration is required.
Crap, a freebie too. We plead that spending that long in Beverly Hills would not be good for our mental state. Nor would listening to the Ph.D.'s from on-line Clown College for hrs. Reading this crap is one thing. Even watching them, under remote control & muting, is possible. But in the flesh? (Almost blew our "cover" at the Tea Party.) And the possibility of being w/in mere yards of (Also: via.) "I'm heading out to Beverly Hills for a talk at the Saban Theatre"? Hoo boy.

We wouldn't be the least bit surprised if American Power's Donald Douglas (That should be Donald Douglas's American Power, shouldn't it?) were yucking it up at somebody's expense. So we don't know if he's trolling for someone to call him on this. Or if we should bother. (Why not? Quantity being quality, if nothing else we can fill space.)
"Christine?" Is D.D. trying to make a point?
No, he typed California right there, so he's not on about New Jersey & its lady RINO.

American power is always most dangerous (to America & others) when it's on autopilot. Keep 'phoning it in, Donald.

REMINDER FOR LOCALS

New York State Of Mind:
BÖC, Sha Na Na Team Up
To Honor Hofstra

AP, via.
[S]everal former members of the doo-wop singing group Sha Na Na are reuniting this weekend for a special one-time-only performance.

“It feels so natural that I just have not had as much fun or felt in harmony with anybody since,” said Robert Leonard, a longtime Hofstra University linguistics professor who in 1969 helped form Sha Na Na. He spent two years with the band before being offered a fellowship to Columbia Graduate School that led to a career in education.

Leonard, who sang bass and can be seen in the Woodstock movie wearing the group’s signature gold lame jacket, is bringing together former members of the group for a performance Saturday at a celebration marking Hofstra’s 75th anniversary. Other performers on the bill include Public Enemy, Blue Oyster Cult [sic], Fountains of Wayne, Lisa Lisa, and hip-hop star Trey Songz.
No mention of Donny York. (X yrs. w/o a thought directed at or near Sha Na Na, then w/in 36 hrs. we are twice confronted w/ their ghosts. What's the deal?)

Philadelphia Jihad

Kenny Gamble, Muslim Menace!
An article I recently wrote, “Muslim Enclaves U.S.A.,” went viral and brought enormous reaction. One of the stories contained in the piece was about a music producer, Kenny Gamble, who converted to Islam and is now going by the name of Luqman Abdul Haqq. He has been accused of trying to create a “black Muslim enclave” in Philadelphia. Joe Kaufman, chairman of Americans Against Hate, investigated Gamble further and discovered that he owned the United Muslim Movement’s (UMM) first mosque in Philadelphia in 1994.
This chain of inane connections is entitled

Jihadists Making Themselves
at Home in Philadelphia


Kenneth Gamble (born August 11, 1943, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) has some fucking nerve "making himself at home in Philadelphia," doesn't he? The very definition of "uppity." Whose country does he think this is? And a Muslim to boot. That's good enough for a conviction in any Court of Public Moron Opinion.

Let's see just how much he hates America:
Probably hates America as much as the next guy who wraps himself in a flag to make a buck.
And capitalism.And who can forget the subtle Musselman modalities of this number, which turned a nation of Xians into whirling Islamofascist dervishes?Now we need to know where George Clinton is on the vital Tea Party/Death To America issues.

Pence and Santorum: Thought Leaders


But we still have to beat it into Internet legibility via the keyboard. We were almost lazy enough to copy the headline & leave it at that, but as we're planning on spending the wknd. curled in a fetal position, clutching a stuffed animal from our childhood (Poor little Barfy, run over by a car as we watched.) & whimpering, we thought we'd leave a couple of items.

No point even starting w/ Santorum. Rick hasn't had a thought of his own since some time before Vatican II, w/ the possible exception of "Repeal Vatican II, & Health Care Reform!"

Pence, though, is fresh moron for the grinder. Thought leader? Let's see:
As for the constitutionality question, and the fact that Pence has voted for self-executing rules several times, I also enjoyed this exchange:
The DC: It's an issue of the magnitude of the legislation?

MP: I think that's part of it.
I see. The constitutionality of a procedural rule in the House is dependent on whether Mike Pence things the rule is being applied to a "big" bill or not.

Remember, this guy not only went to law school, but is a top member of the Republican leadership and -- I kid you not -- someone openly considering a presidential campaign.
From Typo King Yglesias, actuality.
For an example of what I’m talking about with regards to dumb-as-a-post Representative Mike Pence, watch his answer to the question of what kind of compromise he would propose for health reform:
“Well, look, you know, I was, uh, yeah, yeah, look, uh”
More from Matt.
The larger issue, however, is that Mike Pence is a moron, and any movement that would hold the guy up as a hero is bankrupt. You can see my colleague Amanda Terkel for more of the specifics on this, but I would refer you to this post from September about the earth-shattering ignorance and stupidity of Mike Pence. He has no grasp, whatsoever, of public policy issues. And yet I can only gather from the fact that his colleagues have elevated him to a leadership post, that a large faction of them are actually so much stupider than Pence that they don’t realize how dumb he is. But it’s really staggering. In my admittedly brief experience talking to him, his inability to grasp the basic contours of policy question was obvious and overwhelming.
Goodness! We feel positively faint after that. Didn't know Mr. Yglesias was on a liberal jihad to expose Mr. Pence's inadequacies; we'll just step away from the whole issue now.

Rather telling that The American Spectator thinks it must rehabilitate these two thinkers now. In a mere three or four mos. they'll have to have their hats in the ring. The very first A.S. commenter types:
