  5. Words of wisdom from Dennis Prager

    Obama and Dalai Lama: Why Israel Worries about U.S. President

    Those who worry about good and evil know that if America decides that the world's approval is important, evil will increase exponentially. Only an America willing to be disliked, even hated, will consistently support the smaller good guys against the bigger bad guys.

  19. Firefox has a very cool add-on. Called "Cool Previews" ...it allows you to preview a link without leaving the page you're on. Great for blogspot; instead of clicking every link you can mouse-over to preview it in its entirety.

  20. Pink: this is the picture I like best.

    Yes, I thought that one was great! The stories of how the photographer set up the shots are neat also.

    ReplyDelete

  21. G'evening, G'morning everybody!

    Pink, how are you?

    ReplyDelete

  22. Well anyway I am now off to bed. See you all tomorrow.

  23. Hey there, Finally Free! Crawled out from under it to pop in and visit for a while ...how are you? Nice to see you!

  25. Best of the Web on 0bama vs. Fox:
    " Of course it delights us to see the president and his most unsavory supporters promote Fox as the only TV news network that isn’t in the tank for the administration. Although this isn’t entirely fair to the other networks–in particular, ABC News’s Jake Tapper has shown a strong independent streak–it is well-deserved recognition for the work Fox has done in bringing to the fore such stories as the Van Jones and Acorn scandals, which many other news organizations ignored for as long as they could.

    On the other hand, we are an American, and Barack Obama is our president too. It cracks us up when MoveOn.org cheers on the president for “fighting back” by “not appearing” and “staying off.” “Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and gallantly he chickened out.”"

  33. Pi Guy, in "The Tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra", the Moebius Dick was a smokeeasy.

    That was Firesign's punniest album. Not their funniest, but their punniest.

    Jennifer Rubin: why are libs afraid of Liz Cheney, and of strong conservative women in general?

    In Sarah Palin's case, they hate her so much, they're publishing a book with a similar title and cover design as Sarah Palin's, and releasing it on the same day, in hopes of confusing and swaying book buyers.

    ReplyDelete

  38. Finally Free - interesting. I wonder if he's a Firesign fan.
    When I was in college, we made our own similar comedy. In fact, if I could have figured out how they ever would have heard it, one scene in the Muppet Movie is practically a ripoff of a scene in one of our pieces.

  39. Hello, everyone. I was sober during last nights Liberty Pub thread and got sh*t faced during the sober up thread.Go figure. :)

  40. Hey Pink - tell me about it! We got up to 77 degrees today and tomorrow morning the low is gonna be around 34 degrees. I have a tough time when the temp swings 30 degrees, 40 is waaay to much! LOL!

  51. Pi Guy, Realwest:

    Sue the bastards!

    ReplyDelete

  52. @Realwest: Of course IANAL, but they will probably assert a "parody" defense. Their success (or failure) will presumably hinge on whether the average Joe in the street will recognize it as parody rather than an attempt to pass as the real product?

    Ah, but courts have already ruled that to claim parody status, the product must be clearly identified as such.

    From what I've seen of this book design, there's no clear external indication of intention as parody.

    ReplyDelete

  56. Hey Finally Free - quickly ran through Cheney's speech or the text of it anyway, and I disagree with him on one point. He says:
    "Now suddenly – and despite our success in Iraq – we’re hearing a drumbeat of defeatism over Afghanistan. These criticisms carry the same air of hopelessness, they offer the same short-sighted arguments for walking away, and they should be summarily rejected for the same reasons of national security."
    I would submit to you that it's BECAUSE of our success in Iraq that the LEFT is going to the drumbeats of defeatism and hopelessness in Afghanistan.
    For reasons I cannot fathom - at least in Afghanistan, the LEFT wants the US to NOT WIN.
    Notice I was careful not to question their patriotism by saying the LEFT wants the US to LOSE. Not Win.
    And that I just don't get, unless they've all bought into the fantasy that President Obama is peddling, namely that the Taliban and Al-Quaeda are distincy and seperable entities or groups. They aren't, of course, but I can't think of any other reason the LEFT would want the US to NOT WIN in Afghanistan.
    Why, when we do win, that will be the second democracy created when George W. Bush set out to.............oh, wait.
    Nevermind.

    That was not clearly marked as parody. It looked to me like piggy-backing on a best seller.

  120. On a more serious note, Yid with Lid has the REAL story behind the Van Jones resignation:

    ...It was assumed that the "green jobs Czar" was pushed from from his position, but the extent of the "push" was astounding. AIM columnist Cliff Kincaid has acquired documents that show that a resignation letter was written for Jones and issued in his name....

    ReplyDelete

  121. I say this, this isn't any worse than the dog poop alliteration thread early today.

    ReplyDelete

  122. It is now abundantly clear that he was pushed out because the scandal threatened to implicate Obama friend and White House adviser Valerie Jarrett in the scandal that gave him a critical White House position without proper vetting.

  123. Jones was vetted, he had the prefect Marxist credentials.

The night here is perfect, could have been more people out, and I was distressed at all the businesses that are now closed where they were not. We make joy where we can.

  144. Prosecutor portrays Haq as cool, calculating and sane after shootings

    The second trial of Naveed Haq got underway this morning with a prosecutor saying anger made the Tri-Cities man storm the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle and kill one woman and wound five others.

    In the days following his arrest for killing one woman and wounding five others at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, Naveed Haq relished in his "celebrity" status, a prosecutor said this morning.

    Haq told his mother over the phone that he "did the right thing" by going on a shooting rampage at the center's offices in July 2006, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Don Raz said in his opening statement. Haq also told his mother that slain federation employee Pamela Waechter was an "Israeli collaborator."

It’s the first release from OR Books, a fledgling outfit founded earlier this year by publishing veterans John Oakes and Colin Robinson that “embraces progressive change in politics, culture and the way we do business,” according to its website.

  155. CC,

    Susan Hutchinson is leading polls for King Co. Exec. Dow Constantine is a (D) insider. If Dow loses in a 70% (D) county the '10 elections are looking really dismal for the (D)s.

  157. I have insurance, and if my insurance does not cover a procedure, and if I have the money to pay for it myself, I will do so if it will help me. But in the future I will just be fooked. Since when is this an "option"?

    Dow is scary like Jim McDermott and Pete Stark. He is a very bad guy, imo - he can't lose this election by enough for my taste.

    I'm sure her name recognition really helps her...I hope and pray her lead holds.

    It has never been about helping people in any way, in my opinion - I think it's a power grab, and that's all it is.

    Sam Reed has done a good job purging the voter rolls. He's cleared several hundred thousand, 6% of the rolls. There's less voter fraud.

    Hutchinson has done a good job of hanging the King Co Budget on Constantine.

    That is good to hear.

    I don't think I will ever take kindly to the mail-in ballot scheme that we are now stuck with.

    Mail-in balloting reduces our civic right to something akin to paying a bill.

    When you had to go to the poling station, you had to get out of your house and present yourself to the volunteers running the station. Your neighbors would be there - some times in large numbers, sometimes in small. You had a sense of being a part of the community, doing something large and grand.

    Now, just as you would do with a utility bill, you sit alone at your kitchen table, fill in the blanks, fix a stamp ti it, and put it out to post.

    They have reduced an empowering community ritual into a lonely chore.

  181. Alan Grayson gets punked. He set up a site supposed to memorialize Americans that died because they have no health insurance, the invited everybody to add names.

    Somewhere, someone may be lamenting the demise of "Hugh G. Reckshinn", age 44, from Dumas, Texas, but I doubt it.
