Random Thoughts
So is David Frum’s strategy really that if he just whines long and hard enough, everyone will become more moderate? Or is it a mistake to assume there is some sort of strategy behind whining?
I believe Frum is sincere in where he wants conservatives to be, he’s just not mature enough to approach that in a useful manner.
Internet Explorer reminds me a lot of a really fat guy who gets winded at even the slightest exertion.
People will finally push for a solution to the spill when we see pictures of helpless animals like birds, seals, and Obama covered in oil.
“The long-tailed pangolin is a land-dwelling mammal, much like a Nazi.”
I can’t wait to one day to tell my little Princess Buttercup, “You’re the biggest disappointment since the Lost finale.”
“Plug the damn hole!” It’s cute when Obama imitates leadership.
The theme of our baby room will be sensory deprivation.
It wouldn’t have taken years to build the Hoover Dam if Obama was in charge. He’d be like, “Build the damn dam!”
If you force a wildly unpopular program on people, it takes a lot of gall to complain about what people call it.
So Obamacare is offensive? What’s next? I’m not supposed to say Obamanazi?
The baby won’t kick for me. She’s a bad baby. Just for that, I’ll make Buttercup her FIRST name.

I believe history would be much improved with Obama.
* The Rubicon River: “The die is cast. Hopefully, it will plug the damn hole. If this backfires, I brought some Drano just in case.”
* At Waterloo: “Now, Maitland, now is your time! Plug the damn hole!”
* France, 1914: “Gentlemen, we will fight on the Marne. Plug the damn hole!”

But Internet Explorer WAS developed by really fat guys who got winded at even the slightest exertion. They’re all dead now from overdosing on those famous Microsoft incentives: free pop and candy while wearing casual clothes to work.

Obama covered with oil? Hmmmm. “Plug the damn hole!” This could possibly be a scene from an adult movie.

I object to this bigoted characterization of fat people. And after I rest up a bit I will strongly object.

Surely I thought In matters of great economic and environmental catastrophe a bunch of lawyers was exactly who you would want on the job. Has he not filed any injunctions against the oil leak yet?

“Community” and “Archer” are IMAO two most funny and clever shows on TV today.

You don’t deserve to be kicked. Think about it.
May 26th, 2010 at 10:35 am
And she’ll respond:
“I hate you! I wish you were a clever and funny character in a Joss Whedon show!”

Frum is really a moderate, so naturally he whines a lot like moderates do. Unfortunately, it’s always conservatives who have to be more moderate, nobody asks flamming liberals to be more moderate. So basically Frum can go pound sand. How conservative of me!
“I can’t wait to one day to tell my little Princess Buttercup, “You’re the biggest disappoint since the Lost finale.”
I hope Sarah K reads that. The poor girl isn’t even born yet and you’re already plotting ways to make her feel guilty? What’s next, express your dispointment at the fact she can’t throw a 95 mph fastball by the time she’s 5? Some parent you’re gonna be.

Something we all told them repeatedly – but they passed it anyway.

Whining works. It got us Obamacare. And whining about calling it Obamacare.
Obamcare is so crappy he doesn’t claim it for it’s own.
Screaming for conseratives to be moderate is an old liberal ploy. I think we kinow where Frum is from.
Maybe if Obama takes the girls out for ice cream the press will give him a pass on the oil spill. It’s so cute when he’s loke that.

What really has the made the left so explosively stupid is that they are collectively never called on anything. None of their stupid assumptions are ever tested or debunked. The only thoughts from the right they might see is some stupid single phrase from a conservative that is repeated a million times over in their echo chamber thus used like warm milk to reassure them that they are the good guys and that all their assumptions are perfectly valid. Its one reason when things are hard for them they start seeing racism everywhere on the horizon just exactly like a dying man in the desert sees water.
So many of them (especially the ones in charge) live in this insular world feasting on one sided propaganda. To paraphrase Frnak J. Flumming. I would love to live in an insular conservative world but every time I turn on the TV or movie or see a newspaper I am constantly bombarded by left wing narratives and am forced to evaluate my beliefs with their claims. So while the rights inward arguments get a lot of air time they also leave us usually much healthier and in touch with reality.. at least compared to liberals.
The one thing the right has done that will truly cause the left to destroy themselves (like they are) its that we let these delusions fester and grow out of all control or hope of escape.

Since when is kicking the ultimate expression of love? On the contrary, the calming hand of Frnak J. soothes even the unborn.

“The baby won’t kick for me. ”
But, ther are a lot of us who will… I bet SarahK has thought about kicking you.

You could tell your baby to “Suck it up, Buttercup.” Whenever she has a bad day
May 26th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Well Frank if she wont kick she is probably not a Ninja. Looks like she will be coming down on the pirate side of that debate.

“i am disappoint”
May 26th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
It’s hard for Buttercup to take that steady, two-handed hold while kicking.
May 26th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
“It wouldn’t have taken years to build the Hoover Dam if Obama was in charge. He’d be like, ‘Build the damn dam!’”
Build something? Make something useful…that helps America? Obama? Never happen.

“The baby won’t kick for me. ”
If you start trying to make Buttercup feel guilty as a parenting style, she should kick you while you sleep.

Racist!
