Let the delusion now end.  Stoopid motherfucker.

That was quick.  I was just about to ask if he’d put it in yet, and he’s done already.

BTW, I’ll have a post about winning the Weblog Awards tomorrow (maybe tonight).  Really busy at the moment, but thanks to everyone for helping get us there! Woo hoo!

Yay an open thread so I can post this shamelessly stolen from the comments at YTD, Dr. Orly is off her meds and filed this with the Supreme Court, no reporting as to how the Justices received it (other than hitting the intercom and saying to each other “have you seen this fucking shit?, this is the best laugh I have had in a long time”

“1 Mr. Obama having had conflicting “Foreign Allegiance”(s) cannot become Commander in Chief having sole allegiance to the USA, and thus cannot qualify as “a natural born Citizen”.
1.1 Barry Soetoro, a.k.a. Barak Obama, has first allegiance to Indonesia, having Indonesian citizenship with renunciation of US citizenship, by adoption/legal acknowledgment by Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo, a citizen of Indonesia, per Constitution of Indonesia, Law No. 62 of 1958, Art. 2 (1), as required to enroll in Indonesian schools, per school records and travel to Pakistan in 1981; and
1.2 Mr. Obama had first allegiance to the British Crown and to Kenya, being born a citizen of Kenya through his Kenyan birth father Barack Obama, Sr., per Chapter VI. Sections 87 and 97 of the Constitution of Kenya; and being a bipatride under the Historians and experts estimate that about 100-176 million were executed or starved by dictators and tyrants - in the 20th century. E.g., typical ranges from Hagen & Irish (2000):
Murder by Government
Tyrant Civilians killed
Mao Tse-tung, China 50-70 million
Stalin, USSR 20-40 million
Hitler, Europe 10-20 million
Lenin, USSR 4 million
Talaat Pasha, Turkey 2 million
Sudan Arab vs Nebo 2 million
Franco, Spain 2 million
Pol Pot, Cambodia 1.7 million
Kim Il-sung, N. Korea 1 million?
Mengistu, Ethiopia 1 million
Sukarno, Indonesia 0.6-1 million
Rawanda Hutu v. Tutsi 800,000
Tito, Yugoslavia 500,000
Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam 200,000
Milosovic, Yugoslavia 200,000
Nehru-Gandhi, India 200,000

The greatest danger to the People and the USA is not external but INTERNAL. Dictators have killed about three times the 38 million killed in all 20th Century wars.
Republics and Democracies succumbing to Tyrants
At least thirty three Democracies succumbed to tyrants in the 20th Century when they failed to uphold Oaths and constitutions. Taken from Hagen & Irish (2000):
Argentina: Juan Peron; Cambodia: Pol Pot & Khmer Rouge; USSR - Ukraine: Stalin; USSR - Russia: Stalin; China: Mao Tse-Tung & China’s “Great Leap Forward”; Central African Republic: Jena-Bédal Bokassa; Cote D’Ivoire: Felix Houphouet-Boigny; Dominican Republic: Diederich B ernard Trujillo; Germany: Adolf Hitler, GDR; Ghana: Kwame Nkrumah; Haiti: Dr. François Duvalier; Indonesia: Sukarno, Suharto; Iran: Shah Pahlavi, Khomeini; Iraq: Sadam Hussein; Italy: Benito Mussolini; Malawi: Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda; Malaysia: Dr. Mahathir Mohammad; North Korea: Kim Il-Song; Panama: General Noriega; Philippines: President Ferdinand Marcos; Romania: Ion Antonescu, Gheorghiu-Dej, Nicolea Ceausescu; Rome: Julius Caesar, Nero, Domitian; Senegal: Leopold Sedar Senghor; Spain: Prima De Rivera, General Francisco Franco; Sudan: Arab-Islamist military; Tanzania: Mwalimu Julius Nyerere; Turkey: Prime Minister Talaat Pasha (Ottomon Empire); Turkmenistan: Saparmurat Nyazov; Uganda: Idi Amin; Uruguay: Gregorio Alvarez; Zaire: Mobutu Sese Seko; Zimbabwe: Robert Mugabe.”

I think that the only thing to say is OMFG. 

PS) If you do not regularly check out Patrick’s updates from the COLB you are missing out on a wonderful analysis of the entire Cult’s mind set.  Patrick is an excellent writer and has more patience than a saint to visit the sites that he does and pick out the gems.

All I can say is, in HDTV, you can not only see every crease and freckle, but you see the moths fluttering around inside his empty cranium through the pupils in his eyes.

Wow, Dr. Oily Taint must be back on the hillbilly heroin.

Her cut-and-paste skillz must have dazzled Clarence Thomas.

Patrick’s work is meticulous; it’s the greatest birther reference. Another feature is the lawyers who comment hilariously on the amateurishness of Berg et. al. to each other.

Wow, Steve Benen linked to these hilarious reviews about a new Playmobil toy ...

That is too funny, Humboldt!

Any of you people on Facebook?  I want to be friends!  .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

OT Get some Strange tonight!

Just getting back from Drinking Liberally, where Bush’s apologia was resoundingly mocked.

I should mention, if any of you good folks are planning to be here for inauguration, I hope you say “hi” at one of the events.

If by chance you’re going to be here next Thursday evening, Mike Lux is going to be talking about his book, “The Progressive Revolution,” at the DC Drinking Liberally (I’m one of the coordinators).  It’s at Timberlake’s near Dupont Circle Metro.

I haven’t bothered to look at the comments over at PUMAPac in awhile, but I dropped in just now to find…  tech support with KarenWI!

SouthernGAL68 01.15.09 at 10:31 pm

My computer CRASHED - BAD VIRUS! I had to take it to get repaired, which took almost a month.

The man said something about the motherbroad.  Or maybe it was the carburetor.

KarenWI 01.15.09 at 10:33 pm

Well, better get some really good antivirus and antispyware stuff now Southern!!!

KarenWI 01.15.09 at 10:37 pm

Did you got a Mac or a Windows?

And is she connected to the Compuserve or the AOL?

Ah, PUMA… the group made *less* effective by modern technology.

gimmieabreak:

I started a page, hope Kevin is OK with it (and I’ll gladly hand the admin over to you if you so wish):

Thanks, PUMA.  Now we can ooh and ah over our favorite band, I mean blog.

@pumalicious
I don’t have any photos from before the “accident,” but I think there’s still a police IdentiKit composite of me online somewhere…courtesy of a regrettably observant witness. I’ll see if I can Google that up.

Well, the amazingly effective geniuses at Pumapac lifted and doctored a Punch cartoon, complete with “reprinted by permission of Punch Ltd.” on the side.

Punch folded in 2002. But the Punch Library, courtesy of Harrods, archived all their cartoons, and so I e-mailed them a screen capture.

I feel small. I feel petty. I feel full of rage. But I also feel good.

Actually, misuse of illustrators’ work is rampant on the Web, and so a little educational cease-and-desist will be good for them. If a piece is doctored enough, it could be argued that it becomes a new work of art, but that’s debatable among pros, and this was an amateurish idiotic misappropriation of the whole of somebody else’s idea, and it just got up my nose.

OK, I know I’m showing my age here but can somebody please “explain” Facebook to me.  Like how do you be somebody’s “friend” and stuff.  (My kids have Facebook accounts so imagine their consternation if I show up as their friend and look at all their pictures that they’ve posted - bwahahahahahah!! - so this information is very important to me.)

I feel small. I feel petty. I feel full of rage. But I also feel good.

Nice job!  We all feel your smallness, pettiness, rage and also VERY GOOD! 

If the FEC, the actual Puma company, and now Punch Library all actually do pile on Darragh it may just send her totally around the bend which could be a thing of beauty to watch.

@Mrs. Polly

Never regret a legitimate action using legitimate channels to make a legitimate point. And whenever you’re tempted to feel small or petty, remember who you’re dealing with:

Why are we not revolting in the streets, burning Washington down????

It’s not like you’re kicking a cripple.

Mar,

It’s actually pretty fun - my daughter originally hooked me up.  You can catch up with old friends (there are tons of older people on, like me), post pictures and links and there’s a small chat feature.  You can search for people that you know are on there - and I’ll be if you tell your kids that you want to get a FB account, they’ll actually help you out.

Give it a shot.  I don’t know how old you are, but I just got my 60 y/o MIL hooked up.  I’m pushing 50 myself.

@marindenver

I believe it works the same way as gang membership, You can be “beat in,” “blessed in” or “sexed in.”

The good news is I think you get your choice.

Any more round the bend and she’ll meet her own backside. Which evidence would suggest has already happened.

Strange: Navy blue watch cap? Four-inch dueling scar? I should have known that was you!
Sorry I peached. It was the reward money what done it.

Strange, I’m not sure any of those alternatives sound attractive. 

gimme - like your MIL I’m also pushing 60 but I guess if I can master this stuff I can figure out Facebook.  Bigger question is if anybody I know even has an account!  But I enjoy the idea of being able to vicariously watch my kids get drunk and pass out.  And then razz them about it at Thanksgiving.  My payback for living through their teen years.

BTW had taped Rachel to watch when I got home.  Totally loved her replay of W’s speech.  Everytime I got primed to scream at the TV she stopped it and said pretty much what I was thinking.

@Mrs. Polly

That was actually an excerpt from a J4H stemwinder earlier this evening, but I consider her to be Darragh-by-proxy.

Mar: What if their teenagerhood is payback for YOUR teenage years?;o/

I don’t even know what that smiley means, but take it as friendly.

Mrs. P, my mom got total payback listening to me moan about my teens (because I was, shall we say, less than daughter of the year most of those years).  So if I can up the ante a little on my kids (because I’ll probably be dead before they have kids that have grown to teens) I’m going to go for it! 

That is a curious smiley.  Your chin is slanting oddly.  ;-)

Why are we not revolting in the streets, burning Washington down????

Why bother, when you can just be revolting at home?

Was this done already? There’s so much material writing itself, it’s hard to remember.

[rimshot]Mrs. Polly[/rimshot]

I’ll be here all night folks. How about a round of applause for the pianist.

BTW: If anyone here missed tonight’s blogradio episode of “Conflucians Say”—good for you.

There is not enough Dramamine in the world to get me through that program. How Conflused were they this week?

As usual, it was impossible to distinguish their blogcast from a party-line wiretap on a pre-teen sleep-over at Bedlam. Or words to that effect.

I believe they were upset and outraged at…stuff.

Pre-teen sleepover is a sufficiently terrifying image. I still have flashbacks from living through one of those, flashbacks which cause me to grow hot with shame even after all these years.

Continual outrage is exhausting; I don’t know how they keep their strength up. Take your vitamins if you’re going to listen to that show.

yup, I remember my homo stage, but I look back and get a kick out of it. Except I didn’t have the monster cock, just slightly above average. I was worried even back then that I might not satisfy women.

Then I found Rumproast, and now my dick is a monster, and my wife says, ‘get that potato away from me,” so I’m not sure if it’s a win.

My favourite Orly quote?

You know how she’s always begging her faithful readers to help her out / contact the FBI / petition the Supreme Court / harass some poor elderly person with the same last name as Obama’s mom / remind her what radio show she’s supposed to be on today. 

She ended one of her recent pleas with “Please no crazy calls or marriage proposals!”.

Alas, poor W. He arrived at the White House a Bush in all its glory and leaves a tumbleweed, separated from that which sustained him for eight years, to aimlessly roam the steppes of Texas. So long tumbling tumbleweed. You shall not be missed, though your seeds will linger on.

“The end of an error.”—Ted, New Jersey

I heard this in its enirety. It was interesting to see how the ultra-cocky “I’ve got political capital and I’m going to spend it” jock morphed into what looked like a rather broken shell of a man.

On Katrina, it seems Bush still doesn’t get it. Flying around in Airforce One rather than trying to use the resources for relief efforts instead was the least of it.

Appointing Michael Brown Director of FEMA when the closest he had to experience of disaster management was 11 years overseeing gymkhana judges and stewards for the Arabian Horse Association - a disaster he managed so effectively that they eventually asked him to resign - was bad enough.

Eventually stepping away from the golf course to announce “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job” in the face of world media coverage of the hellhole Katrina victims were festering and dying in was just rubbing it in.

You know, watching the coverage of the plane in the Hudson yesterday and the masterful way the pilot and the rescue crews operated reminded me that there are an awful lot of people whose competence we depend upon every day. If airlines or other industries where safety is the top priority hired people on the basis of whether or not they were “Commies,” “pinkos,” “crazy libs,” or “anti-American,” (or just “regular folks” you’d “like to have a beer with”), we’d be rightly appalled.

If for no other reason, I am glad to see Obama usher back an era where people are chosen on the basis of their competence to do their fucking jobs well.

This is KCindenver.

I’ll be setting up a facebook account for my mother this weekend. But I hope ya’ll know that when my sibs are screaming in outrage that their mother has seen all the drunken pics, you guys are getting the blame.
