“If a businessman makes a mistake, he suffers the consequences. If a bureaucrat makes a mistake, you suffer the consequences.” – Ayn Rand.
You Know, Sorta Like 2005’s Hurricane Epsilon
At a State Department event, one analyst said she expects American debt is “going to get downgraded” again.
By the time Obama’s done, they’ll be grading it with Greek letters.
You’ve Been Judged!
Keln of Nuking Politics picked his favorite punchlines to “Obama’s new Defense Secretary…”
Click here to see if you made the cut.
If you did, you should probably email him about becoming a guest blogger there.
If you didn’t, he’s got another straight line for you to practice on.
Keep trying. No one likes a quitter.
As a Former Sailor, I Can Attest to the Truth of This
[High Praise! to Freedom Is Just Another Word]
You can tell this guy’s a Yankee because he didn’t say “here, hold my beer” before trying this.
Link of the Day: Some People Just Don’t Deserve America.
[High Praise! to Sondrakistan]
At the link, there is also a nice video-reading of the passage from Atlas Shrugged telling the tale of the 20th Century Motor Company, which tried to implement “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need”.
My favorite part of that has always been what happened to the girl with the gold braces.
A text-only version of the story can be found here.

Wisdom of the Day: Hobbies Lede Relationship
Elderly women often take up hobbies; scrapbooking, collecting Precious Moments figurines, destroying Western civilization. #Pelosi

When burying the lede always eliminate any witnesses.

Chickens. Home. Roost. Some Assembly Required
Frank J. 2016: Starving
I was thinking, do we have a point at which we will just let someone starve? Like we have all these welfare programs and foodstamps, but are we willing at any point finally tell someone: “That’s it; you’re a lazy bastard. Work or starve!”? As president, I will be willing to say that. In fact, I’ll say it a lot; like all the time. Your personal welfare is not the concern of the federal government. So be a man. Or a woman. Anyway, just pick one of those and be that and take care of yourself. The federal government is not there to coddle you and take care of your everyday needs. It’s not a charity. It’s a terrible thing that is in a constant state of preperation to nuke foreigners.
Frank J. 2016: If you want the government to personally care for you, be a nuclear weapon.
300: Atlas Shrugged Version
Obama: “Private sector!… Create jobs!”
Private Sector: “Obama!… Come and make them!”
I wish I had the mad video skills to re-dub this. If anyone does, send me a link.
Tweets of War
Some people are still down on Twitter, but this tweet from the IDF is pretty awesome:
We recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces above ground in the days ahead.
— IDF (@IDFSpokesperson) November 14, 2012
And then the militant wing of Hamas responded with this:
@idfspokesperson Our blessed hands will reach your leaders and soldiers wherever they are (You Opened Hell Gates on Yourselves)
— Alqassam Brigades (@AlqassamBrigade) November 14, 2012
So Israel and Hamas are in a Twitter war (along with the actual war). Anyway, I hope Israel totally annihilates them on both fronts.
But man, isn’t this something war previously missed — to live insult your enemy as you blow them up. Like think of Patton tweeting trash to Rommel as he led an attack. That would have made WWII far less boring. Also, color photography would have helped.
Well, that’s the magic of the internet: We can instantly connect with anyone now, even the enemy we are blowing up.
Straight Line of the Day: 30 States Have Submitted Petitions to Secede. The New Country Will Be Called…
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
30 states have submitted petitions to secede. The new country will be called…
Things Continue On
I never thought the phrase “Y chromosone detected” could bring me tears to my eyes, but after my father passed way this year and we decided that if we were having a boy to name him after him (and, incidentally, myself) it just seems like a nice continuation of things to eventually have another little Frankie running around.
So next May Buttercup will be getting a little baby brother, and the Fleming family continues to expand… until it eventually overtakes the world!
Random Thoughts: Hamas, Racism, and a Male Heir
Israel killed a guy in Hamas? They should kill more than that.
If the Democrats lose their leaders Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, how are they going to keep appealing to the youth vote?
Oh. I was named sexiest man alive? I didn’t even know I was in the running.
There will be a Frank Jr. Technically, we’ll be naming him after my dad who passed away this year, but we happen to have the same name. Anyway, coming next May!
I’ve been reading Game of Thrones, so I know how important it is that the House of Fleming have a male heir (especially with winter coming).
Would have made WWII more interesting if we could watch the Axis and the Allies tweeting at each other while it went on.
I was hoping the reelection of Obama would give us a short break from dishonest cries of racism, but no because the left are scumbags.
We’re pretty tired of war, so let’s just put it out there that next country we have to deal with gets nuked.
Libertarianism has gone a long way since the days it was listed in the DSM-IV.
Republicans were for a black woman named Condoleeza Rice being Secretary of State, but against a black woman named Susan Rice. Obviously the GOP is racist against Susans.
Isn’t at least half of government politicians bribing their constituents for reelection with my money?
If hundred of rockets were being launched into America, I don’t think we’d be as restrained as Israel.
If as you learn more about science you get more arrogant instead of more humble, you’re doing science wrong.
After two weeks, my mustache is almost visible!
So when does talk of repealing the 22nd Amendment start?
Weird email: “please show people how to impeach omaba or how to help impeach omaba”
The most realistic plan for job growth right now is for Obama to vow to spend all his time golfing and not messing with the economy.
After all this time, is there any real evidence that Obama even knows what a job is?
How About Burning Bridges Instead of Crossing Them?
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that if the debt limit must be raised by another $2.4 trillion, “we’ll raise it.”
Amazing how that line in the sand always ends up being more sand than line.
[Seriously, Harry needs to wake up and have himself an Alec Guinness moment]
