Taking on the Culture

Posted by on

Here’s Steven Crowder talking about where conservatives needs to fight more in the culture wars to win:

It’s not easy, though. We can’t just put out political shows. We have to have regular shows that just subtly lean right like the shows today are focused on other things but presume everyone has a leftist viewpoint.

And I see Crowder is doing the Movember thing and having as much trouble growing a mustache as I am.

Frank J. 2016: Bureaucracy

Posted by on

So I’m not really sure what I have to do to officially start my presidential campaign. I assume I’m going to have to jump through a number of hoops to eventually destroy government and its hoops. I just really want to tear the federal government apart, and I will deal with bureaucracy in the meantime if I have to. That’s how dedicated I am. And I’ll smile as I do it because I know the bureaucrats I’m dealing with will soon be kicked out of their cushy jobs and sent into the real world. And some will protest saying, “That’s unfair! Those people can’t work in actual jobs where results are expected!” But hey, it’s not like I’m driving them out into the middle of the wilderness to fend for themselves — though that is my plan for most of Congress.

The Fiscal Cliff Needs a Sex Scandal

Posted by on

I think it’s pretty common to think that the chick writing a biography about you is coming on to you. I mean, she’s asking all these question about you and seems really really interested in you. Bunch of big green lights right there. So maybe if you’re married, you shouldn’t have a female biographer; just seems like so much potential for trouble.

Well, live and learn.

Anyway, big scandal for the CIA that everyone is interested in. You’d think everyone would be interested in getting to the bottom of the incompetence in Benghazi because Americans were killed there, but a sex scandal is much more interesting. Still, the sex scandal is tangentially related to the Benghazi stuff, so maybe it will lead to more focus on the issue. Which got me thinking: We need a sex scandal for the fiscal cliff.

I mean, this spending and deficit stuff is all very important, but it’s never been very interesting and has always had a lot of trouble keeping people’s attention. But maybe we could get a sex scandal in there to spice it up. If the whole debt crisis played out more like a soap opera, everyone would pay attention.

I’m not sure how that would work; maybe lobbyists sleeping with Congress to get more spending or something. But this is an idea worth brainstorming about and coming up with something really creative and interesting to really rope everyone into the deficit drama.

Once again, GOP, if you need a consultant for more creative ideas like this, I cost $1 million.

The beatings will continue until morale improves

Posted by on

You’ve heard that phrase — “the beatings will continue until morale improves” — in comics or on signs or in statements made by coworkers.

Well, you’re about to live it. Or, if you already are, others are, too.

Government regulations are the beatings on the economy. And when the government regulations cause the economy to falter, the government will simply issue more beatings, in the form of regulations.

Obamacare is one of the major problems. It’s causing business expenses to increase, and businesses are cutting where they can. That includes wages.

Some businesses are reorganizing internally and reclassifying some positions so that jobs that were salaried are now hourly. Businesses are also cutting back on hours for some employees; some cuts to simply reduce wages, others to exempt those employees from full-time status and the requirement to cover them under Obamacare. Those employees get to pay the Obamacare tax — they call it a fee or a penalty, but it only passed Constitutional muster because it’s actually a tax — so they are covered, as required by law.

When this impacts people, particularly people who voted for Obama, two things will happen.

  1. Karma
  2. More regulations

What will the new regulations do? Make it worse. And then more regulations. And more problems with the economy.

Now, everyone on the left will say how great the economy is because of all the number of people with jobs, even though more of those jobs will be part-time, and even though more and more will stop looking for work because it’s not worth it.

The numbers, because of the way they arrange them, will look good. Well, not all numbers. The numbers on people’s paychecks and in their bank accounts won’t look so good.

But rest assured, the government has a plan to deal with the economy: the beatings will continue until morale improves.

Random Thoughts: GOP Future and Star Wars Sociopaths

Posted by on

So when does Bush stop being president and Obama take over

Can someone please accuse whoever does the voice of Abby Cadabby of something inappropriate.

The kind of voters who respond to pandering aren’t the kind of ones who will also respond to conservative ideals.

The Democrat Party’s existence relies on people staying together in racial groups, which makes them the party of the past, not the future.

Strange how the reelection of Obama feels like a complete and utter rejection of hope and change.

I like these ideas for changing the GOP, but let’s spend a little time planning out the ultra-libertarian moon colony just in case.

So we’re finally making David Frum the defacto leader of the Republican Party, right?

Is Nate Silver who we yell at if we don’t like the BCS rankings?

You could tell Luke and Leia were related by their similar sociopathic lack of concern for the people who raised them being murdered.

They didn’t get that from their father. He loved his mother.

I can only assume Padame’s parents were murdered in front of her and she forgot about it by the next day.

Now my wife is really suspicious about me and my biographer.

What’s like the opposite of secession, like where we kick states out? How much lower would unemployment be if we kicked out California?

The main lesson I’ve taken from Thomas & Friends is that non-sentient trains are much more efficient and less troublesome.

Has Obama proposed high-speed rail for the island of Sodor?
