Funny ...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The former pastor of Senate candidate Sharron Angle denounced Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s faith, calling the Mormon Church a cult that pretends to embrace Christianity.

Sonrise Church Pastor John Reed told The Associated Press on Thursday that the Nevada Democrat has devoted his political career to advancing the interests of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Reed said the Mormon Church is a cult in part because it swears members to secrecy and pretends to be Christian, but doesn’t accept Jesus Christ as its one savior.

Angle’s campaign distanced itself from Reed. Spokesman Jarrod Agen says that “as a Christian, Sharron shares the same values with other active Christians, including those of the Latter Day Saints community.”

Reid’s campaign has called for Angle to respond directly to the pastor’s comments.
We are bent over (almost doubled-up) w/ amusement at one of these assholes calling out the magic underwear assholes for not being sufficiently Jesus-y. Whoever said "I like your Christ but not your Christians," or "I wish Christians were more like their Christ" or however the fuck-tuck-tucking hell it goes had that pegged. Yoga, anyone?

Hey, Jerry, have the Cowboys fallen that far? Isn't 1-2 bad enough?
Bad enough for us. The rest of the schadenfreude.

Dinesh D'Lusion

Dinesh D'Souza (ably assisted by Kathryn Jean Lopez) sets the record straight, right there at the National LampoonReview.
This would explain Obama’s fierce allegiance to the federal government.
Fierce allegiance? He did swear an oath or something, didn't he? Like a couple months after he was elected to be the president of the federal government, right? Fiercely allegiant, yet ready to sell us out to his MuslimKenyan brothers on a moment's notice! For reparations.
For instance, there is a lot of speculation now about whether Obama will be a centrist after the midterm election, like Bill Clinton became after 1994. My theory says that he won’t because he cannot. Clinton was largely a non-ideological guy. If Obama came by his liberalism in the faculty lounge, then sure, he can see it hasn’t worked and he can modify it. But if Obama got his formative ideas when he was very young, and if they are the result of his traumatic relationship with his father, then they are built into his psyche. He’s not going to change because, to his anti-colonial mindset, meeting the Republicans halfway is a form of sellout. He would be untrue to his principles if he were to cut deals with a group that he considers to be the neocolonial party.
Say what you will, little Barack must've been pretty damn smart get those formative anti-colonial ideas when he was very young. And BHO, Sr. must've spent a lot of time shoving Frantz Fanon down the throat of a child who was two when Sr. cut out. We'd love to hear much more about the psychology of traumatic parental relationships & the embrace of anti-colonialism. And we should all get a laugh from the idea that not meeting the Republicans "halfway" (Oh, sensible, split-the-difference compromise, wherefore art thou?) is the fault of anyone but the obstructionist & neo-colonialist Republicans.

Don't think for a moment that vain arrogant narcissist Obama is the only anti-colonial elitist here. If elitists are "people who think they're better than everyone else," Kathryn Jean certainly thinks D'Souza is better than you know who.
LOPEZ: If you have so much in common with Barack Obama, how did you wind up as a conservative intellectual, now president of an evangelical university?

D’SOUZA
: Obama remains frozen in his father’s time machine. His anti-colonialism is the anti-colonialism of Africa in the 1950s: state confiscation of land, confiscatory taxation, and so on. My anti-colonialism is the anti-colonialism of India in the 21st century. Recently, the Indian prime minister, Manmohan Singh, gave a speech at Oxford in which he gave two cheers for colonialism. He said India is growing fast and is on its way to becoming a superpower. How? Because the Indians speak English, they have technology, they have universities, they have property rights, they have democracy. And why do they have these things? They got them from the British. Now, Singh could never have said that a generation ago. But the world is changing. Poor countries today have a better solution to the legacy of colonialism. They are able to use their cheap labor costs to make what other people want to buy. This is what the economist Thorstein Veblen once called “the advantage of backwardness.” So the difference between Obama and me is that I have embraced the new world of globalization and free trade, and he continues to be haunted by his father’s ghost.
Oh, holy fuck, just put a sock in it already. Meet the New Anti-Colonialism: Globalization & free trade, & a chance at exploitation by a corporate entity rather than an emperor. D'Souza might try thawing himself from the Portuguese colonialism his ancestors embraced. And what is evangelicalism but religious colonization?

Degeneration into "Go fuck yourselves, you insufferable buffoons" territory comes not long after.
LOPEZ: Why does Barack Obama look so angry on the cover of your book?

D’SOUZA
: Obama looks angry on the cover because he is angry. The cover image captures Obama’s suppressed rage and is true to the argument of the book.
Central to his thesis as well.
So there is a sublimated rage in Obama that is reminiscent of the rage of Barack Obama Sr., a man who often sat outside his hut and went into drunken rages against the West for denying him the fulfillment of his anti-colonial dreams.
This too is central to the thesis. After all, w/o the West, Obama Sr. wouldn't have had to have any anti-colonial dreams.

Baby Killer

Two Americas

Middle-class sheep, stop deluding yourselves that you'll be safe from traditional pre-regulatory labor practices much longer. You'll be so fucking happy to have work you won't dare to complain, & even if you sued & won you'd never collect a dime.
State prosecutors filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit Monday against the owners of celebrity dining favorite Koi for allegedly exploiting workers at eight carwashes, including five in Southern California.

The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court claims members of the Sikder family routinely denied workers at the carwashes that they own minimum wage and overtime, failed to pay wages owed to those who quit or were fired, denied rest and meal breaks and created false time sheets.
All well & good that these wanna-be feudal barons are being sued, but why so long?
The businesses in Fair Oaks, Folsom, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Santa Monica, San Ramon and Venice operated for years without licenses from the labor commissioner, which are required under California law, according to the state attorney general's office.

[...]

"While Koi served up yellowtail tartare and Kobe beef carpaccio to Hollywood celebrities, the restaurant's owners routinely denied wages, breaks and overtime pay to workers at their unlicensed carwashes," Brown said in a statement.

An example cited by state prosecutors was the case of Sergio Diaz-Esquivel and Juvenal Diaz-Esquivel, who quit their jobs at the Wash & Go Hand Wash in Irvine after not being paid overtime or for all their hours, despite working seven-day weeks.

In August 2007, they obtained judgments totaling $14,708.24, including penalties for the car wash's willful failure to pay them their wages. The car wash still has not paid them.

Brown said it was in sharp contrast to the money the family earned by owning and operating Koi, a high-end Japanese restaurant with locations in West Hollywood, New York, Las Vegas and Bangkok.

"The restaurants gross millions of dollars annually and are regularly featured in gossip magazines and on television shows, including HBO's 'Entourage,' because of their celebrity clientele," Brown said.

All-American Bullshit Round-Up

Bromides for the brain-dead, from a beat reporter at The NYT.
But I stayed in the church of capitalism, determined to hear what wisdom headliners Colin Powell, Rudy Giuliani, Dan Rather, Steve Forbes and Terry Bradshaw would dispense.

[...]

“I need a woman with money,” Bradshaw cackled, noting that he was a 62-year-old mama’s boy with three ex-wives. He seemed more like a man who could use some advice rather than one paid for giving it.

“I’ve never really motivated anybody,” he announced cheerfully.

The former Steelers quarterback grumbled that quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Donovan McNabb get paid millions more than he did to follow plays dictated by coaches.

After noting that “Jesus is my savior,” he shared this life lesson with the would-be entrepreneurs: When your receiver is about to be tackled, “Keep it simple. Chuck it to him anyway.”
Are these suckers who blew $9.95 for the privilege of being pitched more seminars in inspirational horsecrap ("Then came another sales pitch from a guy who said he went from being a homeless drug dealer to the 'world’s No. 1 Internet wealth entrepreneur' with a $2.4 million estate in Texas. He offered a course at an airport Marriott valued at $11,226.90 for a bargain $29.") the small business start-ups that will get America working again, the minute deeper tax cuts are passed & the moneybags start letting their cash trickle down?

Not that the moneybags would let any of it loose, of course ("Mine!!") but seeing bible-thumping patriots applying the clap harder approach to bizniz would provide some comedy relief during the plunge to the abysswind-down of all meaningful economic activity in our future.

The Beauty Part of the O'Donnell 'Chinese Plot' Remark

How did I miss this? In mentioning, earlier this afternoon, that Christine O'Donnell had claimed in 2006 to have secret-document proof of China's master plan to conquer America, I left out the context. Several readers have helpfully pointed out that she made the remarks in a primary-campaign debate -- and directed them to a primary opponent who beat her (handily) and another candidate (narrowly) to win the Republican nomination. He is a Harvard Law School graduate and Temple University Law School professor named Jan C. Ting. That's him:JanTing1.jpg
Stay classy, Christine!
And, as might be expected, C.O'D. has an odd definition of "classified." Did the Pope tell her not to reveal her sources?

Re-It

Breaking News Alert The New York Times Tue, October 05, 2010 -- 1:05 AM ET
-----
Bank of Japan Cuts Benchmark Interest Rate to As Low As 0%
The Bank of Japan on Tuesday unexpectedly cut its benchmark interest rate from 0.1 percent to a range of 0 to 0.1 percent. The unanimous decision came after a two-day meeting of the bank's nine-member policy board and is the first change of Japan's key rate since December 2008.

The move had important symbolic impact, signaling the bank is willing to take action to spur the ailing economy despite the risks of deflation from further cuts in interest rates.

Tokyo's Nikkei stock market average rose by more than 1.5 percent after the announcement.

More Fun We Missed

Why don't we hear about this sort of crap sooner? (Because we're asleep during the hrs. of standard activity. Next question.)
So that's how it looks in color.
This morning's event was dedicated to Art Gilmore, who passed away last month at the age of 98 and was a broadcast professional, known for the 156 episodes of "Highway Patrol" (1955-59) he narrated. Actor Broderick Crawford, who played CHP Chief Dan Mathews on the show, was also honored at his Walk of Fame star.
We can't even remember if we were aware of Gilmore's death, but we've been watching Highway Patrol religiously since we found it's being broadcast weekday mornings on thisTV.

Mr. Gilmore, of course, served in Jack Webb's repertory company as well as his Highway Patrol gig.

Scientists Blame Laptops for "Toasted Skin Syndrome"

While 'toasted skin syndrome,' has traditionally been associated with proximity to ovens or extreme heat sources, a handful of new studies link the "sponge-patterned skin discoloration" to a new cause: lazy laptop users. Over the past six years, medical journals have covered at least 10 cases of "toasted skin" resulting from users who don't move their laptops in spite of the machines overheating. In an article published Monday, researchers relayed the case of a 12-year-old boy whose leg went spotty after months of playing video games. "He recognized that the laptop got hot on the left side; however, regardless of that, he did not change its position," the authors wrote. While the condition is mostly harmless, it can potentially lead to skin disease and infertility in men. To avoid scalded skin, scientists have a simple recommendation: Move the laptop when it gets hot.

Worse Or Worser

Can't decide which is more awful, irksome, tedious & banal, the political scene (as portrayed in the world of bloggery) or the sheer inane dull of our hideous existence (w/ photos & recordings) in a world of objects that want everyone to suffer.

Sweet release of death (The death of all political types. We aren't going anywhere soon. Hell, we're going nowhere at an astounding rate.) we await your releasing these two morons from their earthly bonds.

Quote of the Day

"To those who say we should focus on fiscal issues, instead of the right to life, I say 'what is more fiscally responsible than rolling back this administration's effort to expand funding for abortion at home and abroad?' What is more fiscally responsible than denying any and all funding to Planned Parenthood of America?"

-- Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), quoted by The Hill, criticizing moderate Republicans for focusing on "public policy alone."
Manly.
And CNBC's Larry Kudlow reveals more about himself & some of his deep-seated psychological problems. Yes, Larry, you're the only one. And you're certainly a pillar of strength.
Am I the only one who saw weakness when President Obama and his departing chief of staff Rahm Emanuel gave each other a big, fat, full-bore hug following their speeches at the resignation event in the White House’s East Room on Friday?
1001-emanuel-rahm-obama-embrace_full_380
Remember, this is on global television. And it has to do with the very top of the United States government. Our friends and enemies were all watching.
I think the hug lacked dignity. It did not send a message of American power and forcefulness. So I fret about the reaction around the world to this kind of fraternity-like emotionalism in full public view.
Why not just a dignified, stand-up, serious handshake? That’s what Reagan would have done. A strong handshake shows friendship, respect, and even affection. But a big fat hug seems to go over the line.
Perhaps I’m overreacting to this. But when it comes to the presidency and the behavior of our top leaders, I think the image we want to send at home and abroad is one of serious strength of purpose. Not some kind of collegiate squeeze. Somehow the Obama-Emanuel embrace seemed demeaning — to the presidency, to our officialdom, and to our strength of purpose.
Poor weak, helpless America, about to be brought down by the Islamic insects, Gulliver style. If only it were 198X again, & Morning in America. And if only Larry could still get the good blow. Dude, we'd be back on top of the world!

Murder plans nonetheless on hold, although waiting for specific incidents to justify the torturing & death of literal rent-seekers is a chump's game. You don't need specifics, just will. (A weapon can help, but bare-hands murder is often more satisfying. As is a hot-lead enema.)

News From The Future:
Death Of A Landlord

We promise you a minimum of one death at the hands of another (That's us!!): The landlord, the manager, or both. Look at this (literal) shit:
NB: Brown stuff on floor is SHIT, not part of the tiles.
NEWS FLASH: Seems to have stopped, an hr. after it started. This does not mean landlord boy is off the hook. Indeed, he may be hanging by his sickly flesh on a hook for quite some time. What will knowledge of anesthesiology do for you then, Doc? (Second time we've enjoyed a croaker as a landlord. Whatever alleged good they do is not made up for by the evil done as landlords. Doesn't their bullshit oath apply to anything beyond safeguarding their profits?)

WARNING: Thanks to Google, we know where you practice, rent-seeking parasite. And when one's kitchen floor is covered in shit-water, there really isn't much left to live for. Beside revenge, of course! (And justice. Can't forget that.)

Judeo-Christ Wants The Poor
To Get Off The Dole

We love it when they type a shorter for us. (Not so much when we're surprised by such a sentence & there are liquids near the devil-box. Is there insurance for that?) And it is cute when they pretend to be "mature." ("Grown-ups in charge again," & all that.)
Conservatism is a fully mature, broad-based set of principles and ideas that form a coherent whole.
It's mostly babble about splitters, independents, meat to the base, yada. As expected from a pharmaceutical chemist/freelance author going on about religion & politics, though we will begrudge Mr. Dunkin some credit for accuracy of perception here:
In short, the pool of independents who are generally sympathetic to fiscally conservative ideas, but who are concurrently unsympathetic to socially conservative ideas, is probably not anywhere near as large as it is claimed to be. This is a lot of the reason why the Libertarian Party doesn’t have much appeal.
That they aren't as big a group of assholes as they could be? Surprising, but true, at least in this context. But as one might expect, he doesn't know when to shut up.
This isn’t just my opinion, either. The Tea Parties are the exemplary expression of fiscal conservative activism. Yet these same Tea Parties have had no problem whatsoever in supporting candidates who are extremely socially conservative, such as Mike Lee, Christine O’Donnell, Joe Miller, Ken Buck, Carl Paladino, and Rand Paul, as some chagrined left-wingers have noticed. Why? Because the people driving this movement, and the resurgence of conservative activism in general, are across-the-board conservatives who, while understanding that fiscal issues are the order of the day, aren’t disturbed by the social side of conservatism, and it’s highly doubtful that they’d want to toss it into the garbage can. There seems to be little to no evidence that “independents” have been driven away by these socially conservative candidates.
Take just as long as you need to recover from the reference to NY's Repub. goober candidate Paladino as extremely socially conservative. One might imagine that Paladino should really be disturbing to social conservatives, but we suppose hypocrisy is one of the prices to be paid for mature coherent wholes.
Conservatism is a movement. We shouldn’t have fiscal conservatives splintering off and undermining social conservatives, just because they don’t like social conservative issues as much as social conservatives do, or vice versa. Both groups should accept the place of defense conservatives at the table as well, knowing that both fiscal and social issues might not be this group’s cup of tea.
Odd, innit, that conservative defense policy is liberal, drunken-sailor style spending on invasions & occupations? A mere sop to the neo-conservatives, but it's revealing of the cognitive dissonance required to keep the pole up under their big conserva-tent, where fiscal conservative means "No government assistance for people who need it; military spending, however, is questioned only by internal subversives & union members, so let's appropriate some more money for Homeland Security," which is quickly echoed by the social conservatives. After all, what good will the new sodomy laws do if there's no faith-based apparatus to enforce them?
Take the issues surrounding abortion, for instance: is ending taxpayer subsidies for abortion clinics a socially conservative move, or a fiscally conservative one? The either/or question doesn’t make much sense, because, as Chris Christie just demonstrated, it is in reality both. What about abortion in general? Social conservatives obviously have no problem recognizing the rightness of protecting the sanctity of innocent life. Why couldn’t fiscal conservatives observe that each aborted baby now means less potential entrepreneurship, economic growth, and job creation in the future, and be concerned about the long-term implications?
If not for abortions, then, there would be even more Americans out of work then are now; Americans having jobs, especially ones that pay adequately, does not increase the wealth of the deserving wealthy.
What about welfare? Fiscal conservative arguments tell us that reducing the welfare rolls and getting people back to work, as the Republicans did in the 1990s, will lead to saving taxpayer monies, greater prosperity, and economic growth. Why can’t this argument fit hand-in-glove with the social conservative observation that much of what drives the demand for welfare in the first place are things like the breakdown of the nuclear family, the rise of single parenthood (especially female), the decline of Judeo-Christian moral standards, and the like? Addressing the social concerns essentially means you are addressing the fiscal as well. Two facets, same gem.
The coherent whole: The (Clinton? No?) economic boombubble of the 1990s? The result of Republicans (Clinton? Who?) cutting "welfare" & forcing the lazy bums back to work. Let us offer some of that vaunted common sense reactionaries claim for themselves: Pretty fucking hard to get off "welfare" & get a job when unemployment is around 10%, decline of Judeo-Christian moral standards & single women bearing children notwithstanding. (More babies: Good. More children of [FEMALE!] single parents: Bad. Coherent?)

We were also disappointed by lack of recognition of the moral hazards of Social Security & Medicare anywhere in the article. Could a pharmaceutical chemist (Tim Dunkin is a pharmaceutical chemist by day and a freelance author by night, writing about a wide range of topics on religion and politics at www.theblogmocracy.com.) set aside some of his core small government principles & Judeo-Christian moral standards to profit from the misery of others?

Shocking! Did You Know?
Unions = THUGS!!!

PJTV’s Front Page is looking into the nexus between the big labor unions, like SEIU, and material support for terrorism.  It’s shocking, and perhaps as shocking is the mainstream media’s total disinterest in the story.  With SEIU’s former head Andy Stern now under investigation for corruption, and Stern having been brought into the corridors of power in the Obama administration, this story should become one of the dominant issues between now and November. Click on the image to watch it exclusively on PJTV.

Torres said there were two main reasons for the bleaker outlook facing many countries: "The first is that fiscal stimulus measures that were critical in averting a deeper crisis and helped jump-start the economy are now being withdrawn in countries where recovery, if any, is still too weak," he said. "The second, and more fundamental factor is that the root causes of the crisis have not been properly tackled."

The ILO said the global economy had started growing again, with encouraging signs of employment recovery, especially in some emerging economies in Asia and Latin America. But it added: "Despite these significant gains ... new clouds have emerged on the employment horizon and the prospects have worsened significantly in many countries."

Since the crisis started in 2007, some 30-35 million jobs have been lost worldwide. The ILO forecasts that global unemployment will hit 213 million this year, a rate of 6.5%. For the United States, the number of jobs still needed to regain pre-crisis levels is 6.9 million.
