I frequently check DU out of a morbid curiosity, and it seems like there’s actually getting to be more reason on display there now. In a post about Iran, one said this in reference for apologizers for Ahmadinejad and civil rights abuses in Iran:

To a few on DU, you are either with us or against us. You agree with everything they say or you’re with Bush. You never have anything to say negative about any other country because we have Bush (apparently Bush being president means every single last American has lost not only all moral authority but also the right to point out wrong-doings in other places around the world). If you say that negative thing about that country anyway, you are a freeper infiltrating DU and thus you believe Bush is the best thing ever and you want to bomb their land back to the proverbial stone age.

Maybe because the Democrats finally won an election, sanity will start to spread. One would hope the abuses of Iran would always be something liberals and conservatives could unite against.

Donald Trump has decided that the most lucrative real estate on the planet is Rosie O’Donnell’s mouth:

Rosie O’Donnell had some fiery words for Donald Trump on The View Wednesday morning, calling him a “snake-oil salesman” following his announcement that he would not fire troubled Miss USA Tara Conner.
After hearing about her comments, Trump fired back to PEOPLE, calling her “a woman out of control” and saying he planned to sue O’Donnell over her statements questioning his financial well-being.
“You can’t make false statements,” Trump tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Rosie will rue the words she said. I’ll most likely sue her for making those false statements — and it’ll be fun. Rosie’s a loser. A real loser. I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie.”

No disclosure of how much he’s suing her for?
I guess we have to wait to find out how much Rosie is worth in terms dollars of square foot in her mouth.

“This is just more of the same from the traitorous Democrat Party and their–”
“That’s completely out of line! it’s Democratic. Democratic!”

Blogging will be light today in respect for the demise of the Turkenistan president.

A terse report from state television said Niyazov died early Thursday of heart failure and showed a black-framed portrait of the man who had ordered citizens to refer to him as “Turkmenbashi” — the Father of All Turkmen. An announcer in a dark suit read a list of Niyazov’s accomplishments.

If you recall, the August 29, 2005 episode of the IMAO Podcast mocked this guy for calling SarahK a corrupting influence. (Yes, the jingle during my almost-threat to kill Jesus again was Piper’s collar)
And thus, the term Turkmenbashibashing was born.
Regular blogging will resume tomorrow, because Saparmurat Niyazov would have commanded it that way under pain of extremely painful death (with a side of death and a local coleslaw-like dish that is quite painful to those not used to the intestinal bloating that often results from eating it).

This photo was so disturbing on so many levels, I just had to open it up as a caption contest…

Apparently, Polish lawmakers have way too much time on their hands.

Lawmakers have drawn up a resolution naming Jesus Christ as the honorary king of Poland, but have failed to win support from the country’s powerful Roman Catholic church.
Lawmakers for the ruling Law and Justice party and League of Polish Families as well as the opposition Peasants Party back the resolution, said Szymon Ruman, spokesman for parliamentary speaker Marek Jurek.
However, the proposal currently has the support of only 46 members in the 460-seat parliament, well short of the necessary 231 votes to pass. Ruman said the resolution would likely be voted on sometime after Jan. 1.
“Let parliament deal with passing better laws that we need,” Gdansk Archbishop Tadeusz Goclowski said.

Of course, this is the country that has to put the recipe for ice cubes in its Constitution to keep from forgetting it.

Did I miss something? Did we lose the last election but successfully turned the word “Democrat” into a slur? I see more and more liberals whining about people like Rush Limbaugh using “Democrat” as an adjective for a Democrat instead of “Democratic” (one example) because – I’m guessing – “Democrat” is now a huge slur against someone. If, on a political talk show, one of the guests is described as a Democrat, he’ll storm off the stage because of the huge offense.
Question: Are the ones complaining about Democrats being called Democrats the same ones who call Republicans “Repugs” or “Rethugs”?
Also, does whining about Democrats being called Democrats mean that liberals have completely run out of things to whine about?
Really, if I want to insult Democrats, I have much worse things to call them than “Democrats.”
Well, somewhat worse things.

261 illegal immigrants working at a meat packing plant were arrested, and now numerous unemployed Americans are applying for the jobs.
Uh-oh; a story like this really sucks for one side of the illegal immigration debate. Someone better make sure it doesn’t get legs.

Time has corrected the erroneous ‘Person of the Year” story and fake cover with the following.

Time knew ‘ewe’ would link to it, since Time thought it could convince ‘ewe’ that ‘ewe’ were somehow more than a nobody. Ewe who linked proved them correct because ewe sheeple are a bunch of suckers.

Congratulations goes to Patriot Xeno who was in the same OCS class as my brother and is also now an officer in the Marines. He also wins the “Become An Officer in the Marines and Get a Free Copy of My Book” contest.
Of course, being an officer in the military will hamper his blogging since he now has limits on his political speech. Then again, he gets to kill people.
God speed to him and my brother, as it’s only beginning for them.
