I just came in from a little grocery shopping and saw that Sarah Palin is resigning her governorship. That’s quite a surprise, but I don’t think it has any real significance, except to liberal partisans. If her job was of no importance in qualifying her for the GOP ticket in 2008, then what difference does it make to them or to anyone else if she leaves it now?
Maybe if American politicians looked at their jobs less as entitlements and more as positions with a purpose other than self-preservation, this Republic might not be as full of corruption as it very obviously is.
Oh, look —it’s another story about goddamned Michael Jackson. There you go. That’s a good boy.

I actually have my TV on CNN right now: if the diseased freak Michael Jackson actually is dying, I want to get my breathless, celebrity-obsessed bullshit straight from the horse’s ass.
That’s Wolf Blitzer, baby.
Fucking garbagemen, all of you.
UPDATE: That may have been the stupidest mixed metaphor I’ve committed in days. Carry on.

It’s no surprise that the Obamatons would be unable, after more than seven years of falsely claiming that George W. Bush was a new Hitler who was trampling the Constitution and running a police state, to recognize an actual police state killing protesters in Iran. These Democratic partisans are as ignorant and cowardly as the narcissistic liar they elected to the White House. None of them is capable of standing up against authoritarianism because they wish to have that same system implemented here in the new socialist paradise they seek for America.
History will condemn Barack Hussein Obama for backing the mullahs in the Iranian Revolution of 2009.

Earlier this evening, I tried to learn from his fanatic followers what good reason Obama has for his weak and insipid statements on the unrest in Iran —but no one could come up with anything. Well, actually, one guy brought up Mossadegh and 1953, but that chapter in Iranian history is vastly less relevant than anti-American goatee-strokers wish it to be. Iranians don’t care what the CIA did there in the 1950s, but they do care about what can be done now with 1979, which is where their country has been mouldering away for too long.
It’s quite clear that Obama’s fantasy of getting elected President (formerly also known as the Leader of the Free World) never included any thoughts of actually standing up for the universal rights of liberty and self-rule. There was a time, of course, when such ideals were as natural with Democrats as anything else identifiably American, but that’s all been traded in now. And for what? Miserable lives as totalitarian groupies, apparently. The idiots now calling themselves Democrats or “progressives” are as indifferent to the fate of free peoples elsewhere in the world as any isolationist here ever was. They are as much a disgrace as their lord and savior —content with voting present on one of the great potential movements of this decade.
Oh —and is there anything my racism can’t explain? Never! Any criticism of the growing Socialism in this country or anger at the systematic dismantling of our strategic strength in the world is simply rebutted by cries of racism. I don’t know how much longer these mindless drones can keep that particular charge going, but it’s sure to be a laugh to see them use it one time too many, but time and time again.

When I was a kid, I enjoyed the hell out of David Letterman. He had a huge influence on mine and my brothers’ senses of humor.
But I stopped watching him a very long time ago because he turned into a miserable prick who enjoys hurting people’s feelings and humiliating them. I even remember the moment I vowed to stop watching him. One night —maybe 15 years ago?— he had on an old gentleman farmer who had brought a collection of vegetables he had grown that resembled famous faces. A potentially cute little segment that Letterman turned into a vicious attack on this old man’s dignity. Dolly Parton was a guest and I believe she even remained for that part of the program. I very much doubt the grand dame of Sevier County, Tennessee appreciated Letterman’s assholishness, although I don’t remember her reaction for a fact. (Maybe I should write her and ask if she recalls that night. I’ve seen her on a lot of programs lately and she’s as charming as ever.)
Anyway, this joke Letterman made about what is essentially the rape of Sarah Palin’s 14 year-old daughter the other night was stupid, mean, and unfunny. He should be a man and make a full and unambiguous apology. But no one is going to make him because he has bought the good opinion of asshole liberals everywhere with his gratuituous swipes at Republicans. He’s insulated against criticism because of his politics. That’s a bad thing for our culture and for women, in case you were wondering.
(Yeah, I know I’ve written this same post before, but Letterman’s a jerk who deserves for his mistreatment of that old man to be remembered forever. And now he can be remembered as someone who likes to make cracks about young girls being raped.)

I just listened to the whole of Sonia Sotomayor’s now-famous remarks at Duke Law School in 2005 and can reliably inform you that they are not taken out of context.
First, I must say that this video (at the link above) is my first extended acquaintance with Sotomayor of any kind. I find her to be suitably cerebral, although she protests too much that she is less engaged than her colleagues, even if more intellectually sloppy.
Second, the soundbite that Big Media took from her complete answer is quite fair. She was comparing and contrasting the roles of district and circuit courts when she committed her Kinsleyan gaffe: she blurted out the truth. But she does elaborate. And she does see her job as policy-making or “developing the law,” as she puts it. Is that a necessary evil of the higher courts? Probably, although sound law is its own arbiter. But there’s no question that she relishes the opportunity to make her justiceship a vehicle for “social progress,” either.
Third, it will take a whole hell of a lot more than remarks like these to stay her from her appointment, so back to the drawing boards, you fading patriarchical oppressors! That whitey tape’s gotta be out there somewhere!

I don’t like seeing Hillary Rodham Clinton flitting about the globe like the incorporeal being she has become —and this thing with the North Koreans is especially bad. She simply doesn’t have anything to say about it. She’s in a job that does not suit her in the least because the authority has been drained from it.
Incidentally, North Korea is a client state of China. If and when China decides to “do something” about the Kimchi Pot, it will. Until then, it is absurd to pretend that there is any solution to whatever the problem is that does not involve the full approval of our newest instructors in capitalism. America’s opinion is a distant second, if that, to Kim.
Hillary should do more stuff with cultural exchanges and forget the power-broking.

I woke up this morning with a song in my head that I believe I heard for the first and only time about a week ago. It was from My Morning Jacket’s appearance on Austin City Limits, which is thankfully still in my DVR.
Anyway, I think that “Librarian” is a stunningly beautiful song. The lyrics are rich and wistful and the steel guitar is reminiscent of Dylan’s “Lay, Lady, Lay.” In fact, this song is that song’s precocious but dutiful lovechild.
What beautiful harmonies to awaken to. Thank you, gentlemen.

Just think about all the eerie similarities between the Religion of Global Warming and certain monotheisms we know:
There’s certainly prophecy.
As well as eschatology.
And a seemingly inexhaustible measure of zealotry.
Did I mention disputes over doctrine and the constant striving for orthodoxy, generally?
Could also mention tithing and rituals and martyrdom and all the lying.
Lying? You bet. There’s a lot of nonsense that one is obligated to believe. Credo quia absurdum. But the hippies don’t see it my way. Instead, they believe themselves to be heroic saviors of the Earth because of where they come down on the “issue” of carbon dioxide.
This carbon tax that Henry Waxman and other discredited Californios are trying to implement is a giant fucking Socialist power grab. Wherever you live, tell your Congressman that you don’t want to fork over a mortgage payment’s worth of taxes every year to some United Nations-managed treasury of carbon-meritoriousness. This is a scam, dude. A post-American economy-destroying scam intended to enrich the Democratic Party and its collaborators.

The excremental Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has apparently decided to put his country ahead of party, according to this poorly-edited AP report:
President Barack Obama’s allies in the Senate will not provide funds to close the Guantanamo Bay prison until the administration comes up with a satisfactory plan for transferring the detainees held there, top Democrats said Tuesday.
And in a further break with Obama, the Senate’s top Democrat said he opposes transferring any Guantanamo prisoners to the United States for their trials or to serve their sentences. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has said 50 to 100 Guantanamo detainees may be transferred to U.S. facilities.
“I can’t make it any more clear,” Reid said. “We will never allow terrorists to be released in the United States.”
I think it was Mitch McConnell who said Sunday last that no city in this country would welcome being the venue for the trials of these Mohammedan savages (my term, not his) because it would make those cities targets for al-Qaedists and other representatives of the Religion of Peace. I think that’s a great point. Giving them any sort of domestic profile also gives the filthy hippies who apologize for them a chance to do some of their performance art for the cameras. And I don’t care to see these jihadists exalted by the post-American neo-socialists, so nuts to that, fella.
I wonder what got into Reid, though. It’s not like him to consider the American point of view in the War against Islamofascism, so there must be an interesting backstory.
Or a sudden premonition of his own domestic dhimmitude.
