The 20 Hottest Conservative Women in the New Media

Posted by on

John Hawkins got an all-star judging panel (I’m not part of it this time) to judge who are the hottest conservative women in the new media. You can go check it out if you want to, but I don’t care because I already married my hot conservative woman from the new media.

What If the ObamaCare Mandate Isn’t Struck Down?

Posted by on

So the 11th circuit is discussing Obamacare and whether it’s constitutional for the government to force people to buy things.

That answer is “No”, by the way. Not just “No”, but “If you even contemplated allowing this, you should go to the nearest mirror, stare yourself in the eyes, and punch yourself really hard in the face.” This is just insane in a free country to think the government can force you to buy things, so much so that we really need to start deporting people for completely not understanding the concept of America.

If the Obamacare mandate is found constitutional (or to be more accurate, the judges conclude, “We don’t really care what the Constitution means”), think of what this will open the floodgates to. Amazon will lobby Congress until their Gold Box deals are mandatory. You think that’s crazy? Well think of how liberals’ infantile understanding of the economy will make them think, “If we force people to buy stuff, it will stimulate the economy!” And when do you think Michelle Obama’s crusade to get kids eat well turns into forcing parents to have to buy certain healthy foods. The way liberals think, if it’s worth doing, it’s worth having the full force of the federal government force people to do it. Eventually, the guys in D.C. sending crotch shots to girls on the internet will have spent all your paycheck before you even get it

Not sure what to do if the courts don’t strike it down. We’d need to get an amendment in place immediately. Otherwise, Republicans will just have to make liberals choke on it by forcing people to buy things like gun and ammo, gas guzzling SUVs, and bacon. Maybe all our money will be spent, but at least we’ll have cool stuff.

Full Disclosure

Here’s the story:

When Fred Thompson had his radio show, Westwood One hired me (Harvey, in case you don’t read bylines) to run the show’s website. After Fred moved on, Westwood let me switch over to running the site for the Doug Urbanski Show. If you don’t know him, he’s a solid conservative who’s previously done fill-ins for other conservative talk show hosts (Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage, Fred Thompson, Tammy Bruce, Jerry Doyle, Rusty Humphries, Dennis Miller, Bill O’Reilly, AND Rush).

Well, 4 months in, the Westwood Powers-That-Be are suggesting that I start promoting him outside the show’s website.

Here’s the problem: I sincerely love Doug’s show. He chews on Obama like a puppy on a bacon-flavored slipper, plus he gives me a pretty free hand posting commentary on the site. I don’t have to hold back or be nice, because Doug enjoys playing hardball.

Just to give you a taste, here are some of the words Doug has used to describe Obama (in no particular order, and not all on the same day):

Liar, thug, bully, punk, Marxist, Statist, socialist, communist, community organizer, Serial-Liar-in-Chief, Comrade Obama, appeaser, politically tone-deaf, fool, disaster, bizarre, unprepared, neglectful, immature, self-absorbed, agitator, the enemy, violent, epic failure, disgrace…

You get the idea.

So I honestly think you guys would like his stuff, and I’ve thought about sharing it here before, but I thought it’d make me look like a sleazy corporate shill, one step above a random comment spammer.

So, I figure, I’ll give you one thing. If you like it, I’ll give you more. If not, I won’t. Here’s a recent quote from the show and a link to the audio clip:

There is a fundamental difference here between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans believe that the government is there to provide an atmosphere for you to succeed. The Democrats wish to use the government to protect Americans from those who want to succeed.

I’d post the audio here, but the Powers-That-Be want to see site traffic, so click through for the whole thing.

But please, don’t click through as a favor to me. Click through if you want to hear a human being saying these words because they’re something you want to hear.

Oh, and let me know what you think of it. Brutal honesty is appreciated.

Sounds Familiar

Via NewsBusters:

Move over, capes and spandex. Hillary Clinton’s pantsuits will now be gracing the cover of a new comic book as part of a left-leaning female Justice League.

Yeah, this is totally a ripoff of the IMAO podcast “Leftwing Superheros” bit.

They shall be sued forthwith! Fetch me my lawyerin’ trousers!

Random Thoughts

I don’t think Clorox is being very responsible with their new “Mmm… bleach” campaign.

Biggest ad disaster since “Zerex Antifreeze: The taste your pets love.”

Still not as bad as “Obama: Elect him president.”

One of the first people in America to be arrested on hacking charges was Lizzie Borden.

“A honey badger who DOES care.” -slogan for a honey badger running for office

Don’t get the name of the new Nintendo system – Wii U – but it is fun to yell really loud while running around in a circle.

Why are there still “select” buttons on game controllers? When has that ever been used to select anything? It’s the Scroll Lock of the game controller.

I want to come up with nicknames for Weiner like “Weinerdo”, but it name is already “Weiner.”

Buttercup finds me counting in Japanese high-larious. Is she racist?

Why we shouldn’t forgive Weiner

Posted by on

Should we forgive Anthony Weiner?

No.

Why not?

He hasn’t asked for forgiveness.

Really, he hasn’t.

Oh, I know why you’re confused. You’re thinking about this whole texting pics of his tallywhacker. Forget that silliness. We should be angry with Weiner for other stuff.

Remember this from a couple of months ago?

The element of surprise

Posted by on

Did you hear? We got new elements! Numbers 114 and 116.

If you have a collection of elements — and who doesn’t — you need to update it.

In contrast to more familiar elements like carbon, gold and tin, the new ones are short-lived. Atoms of 114 disintegrate within a few seconds, while 116 disappears in just a fraction of a second, Moody said.

Both elements were discovered by a collaboration of scientists from Livermore and Russia. They made them by smashing calcium ions into atoms of plutonium or another element, curium. The official recognition, announced last week, cites experiments done in 2004 and 2006.

That might seem odd, that experiments were conducted 5-7 years ago and they’ve just now made them official. And they still don’t have names.

But, think about it: Barack Obama was born in 1961 and it took 50 years for anyone to find a birth certificate. So those new elements are actually ahead of the game.

So, what should we call these elements?

Number 114 is in the carbon group, which includes carbon (of course), silicon, germanium, tin, and lead. It’s been called “ununquadium,” which is a silly name. It sounds like something they made up for Star Trek — the Voyager Star Trek, not the real Star Trek.

Number 116 is a chalcogen, along with oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. It’s been called ununhexium, which is like 7-Up, the Uncola, only with hexium instead of cola and twice the un.

They are some proposed names for these elements:

The discoverers at Dubna, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, in Russia have proposed the name flerovium for 114, after Soviet element-finder Georgy Flyorov, and moscovium for 116, after Russia’s Moscow region.

If Ronald Reagan was president, we wouldn’t put up with naming elements for a bunch of Ruskies. There were 3 elements discovered during Reagan’s time in office — Bohrium, Meitnerium, and Hassium — none named for Russians. Dubnium (105), discovered in 1970, was named for a Russian town, but that wasn’t made official when Clinton was in the White House.

We need to come up with some good names for these new elements. Like what? Like these:

While these might be cool names, you may have some better ideas. Let’s here them.
