The surge is working and we can create stability in Iraq — so says an editorial in the New York Times!

Here is the most important thing Americans need to understand: We are finally getting somewhere in Iraq, at least in military terms. As two analysts who have harshly criticized the Bush administration’s miserable handling of Iraq, we were surprised by the gains we saw and the potential to produce not necessarily “victory” but a sustainable stability that both we and the Iraqis could live with.

It’s from the Brookings Institution which I don’t know anything about — but they sound smart. As the drinker of puppy would say, “Read the whole thing.”
As I’ve long said, we have the greatest military that ever existed and it’s perfectly capable of winning conflicts if people back home don’t whine so much. Even though we’re not getting shot at or asked to make any sacrifice at all, people here in America just can’t help but whine. I guess we have whining, bitching, moaning culture. Even so, the military is still very good at shooting bad people. God bless them.

O’Reilly’s has been hammering DailyKos for being a hate site, something obvious to anyone who has scanned the front page. This light shined on the cockroaches caused JetBlue to pull sponsorship on YearlyKos, DailyKos’s once a year event where the writers of DailyKos emerge from their parents’ basements and sit in circles and defecate on each other while Democrats pretend to listen to their insane blather.

Now, you have to understand, liberals are used to being coddled by the media, and the vitamin D deficient denizens of DailyKos have particularly thin skin. As right-wingers, we’re used to being accused of every ill of mankind, but if one person suggests to a Kwazy Kos Kid that he’s not quite in the mainstream, he gets apoplectic. They think that the news media is right-leaning, and you have to be quite insane to reach that viewpoint. We’re talking “Psychologist Running Out of the Room Screaming, ‘Don’t Let Him Touch Me and Get His Crazy on Me!'” insane. So having a particular show on a news network turn against them is intolerable beyond their understanding. With the defection of JetBlue, they’re less inclined to take a hard look at themselves and more open to the idea of freaking out like a bunch of rats that just had their cage shaken.
So the Kwazy Kos Kids and the rest of the Candy Land-based community are now shaking their tiny fists in impotent rage against FOX News’s advertisers. Now having much combined spending power (it’s the Bush economy’s fault that their parents cut their allowances), they’re hoping they can annoy the advertisers to death by calling them over and over (and since one of FOX News’s biggest advertisers is HeadOn, I don’t think they’ll even consider being told the same thing over and over annoying).
Their efforts most likely won’t amount to anything, but I think it would be a great idea if FOX News struck back by profiling a Kwazy Kos Kid each day thus putting the site under further spotlight for the sake of humiliation. Start with those who post on the front page and move on to the most prolific commenters and diarists. They should all be quite interesting since I sincerely doubt that any regular participant on the DailyKos is mentally stable, because why would any sane person regularly read and comment on such drivel?

“BooshH4ter4000 is against war though he thinks that violence against Republicans is sometimes justified. He believes that terrorism is simply media hype and that President Bush is going to turn America into dictatorship and refuse to leave office in 2009. He also takes pride in how much smarter he and the rest of DailyKos are than the American public. Such a proclamation was met with great agreement in the comments, a few of which were grammatically correct.
“Posting on the front page of the Daily Kos, this is one of the more prominent DailyKos members that Hillary and Obama will try to seek the approval of at YearlyKos.”

Really, this would be a great service FOX News could do for America. People like everyone at DailyKos should be ridiculed away from any active participation in our government. We don’t tolerate overt racists participating in the two major parties, and thus we shouldn’t tolerate the Kwazy Kos Kids who are even nuttier haters. They certainly are free to have their silly little site, but participation in it should be a conscious decision to be pariahs. That’s just common sense. I’m not sure how big a difference the Kwazy Kos Kids’ involvement in politics makes if any and whether the Democrats patronizing them and pretending they don’t think they’re weird or insane has any effect on major policy, but we should at least follow principle and make sure no one outside of their weird circle even acts like they take those goobers seriously. Like all mentally unstable people, they need to be isolated for their own good… and perhaps have a large amount of voltage shot through their brains. It’s the compassionate thing to do.

I’m guest posting at Right Wing News today, and I just put up a post analyzing a lame attempt at humor from the DNC and suggesting how they can improve it. Check it out.

If a Democrat is elected president in 2008 and he or she decides to outlaw bacon as a gesture of goodwill to the terrorists who want to kill us, do you think the American public will take it lying down saying, “I guess I can give up bacon if it will prevent war,” or do you think there will be riots in the street? I only ask because, if this happens, I don’t want to be the only one rioting because then I’ll look crazy.
I’m very self-conscious. Especially when rioting.

I have been doing some optimization and tweaking under the hood and hopefully IMAO.US is now full throttle at your face every day every night,every evening, afternoon, morning, etcetera.

An exchange from a recent press conference which Greg Pollowitz found:

REPORTER: The Nixon tapes case, though, presents certain limitations on the President’s assertion of executive privilege, doesn’t it?
TONY SNOW: How on earth are you trying to apply the Nixon’s tapes case here? That seems an awful stretch.
REPORTER I read it in the paper. It sounded logical when I read it.
TONY SNOW: Well, it’s — nice try.
REPORTER: Thank you.

The very first In My World was me imagining what it would be like if the White House Press Secretary finally opened up on the press. I still wish it would happen.

I’m still not sure exactly what you’re supposed to do on Facebook and other such sites, but I made an IMAO Facebook group for IMAO readers to join so then we will be recognize each other on the street and be able to say, “Hey. You’re that guy who said, ‘LOL!’ on that one post. I know you.”
Does anything useful ever come out of these sites?

Do you think secession could be a solution to some of America’s problems? If so, which states should we force to secede because we’re sick and tired of them?
I’d say we secede parts of California, but we could probably keep most of it land-wise.
