Speaking to Senate Democrats, President Obama defended his drone policy by saying “this is not Dick Cheney we’re talking about here”.
So… you’ve nothing to fear as long as you’re not a lawyer?

Keep trying. No one likes a quitter.
Aww man, it got taken down. I kind of figured that had to happen even though the movies were unwatchable in this format (well, episodes I through III were made a bit more watchable by it). It was oddly fascinating, though, especially the beginning with all six Star Wars logos zooming out (nearly) in sync and fast forwarding to the end with six different climatic action sequences going on at once. Well, maybe it will get mirrored somewhere. Until then, just imagine the cacophony in your head.
So, anyway, Episode VII, directed by J.J. Abrams and with the original cast coming back — are you expecting a big train wreck or keeping some hopes up? I have some hopes — but it will never be like the anticipation for Episode I. I was so excited — could hardly believe after my childhood of watching the first three over and over I was actually going to get to see a new Star Wars movie. And then I saw it.
I’ve been a cold, jaded man ever since.

As an extremely white guy, I can’t tell you how exhausting it is to have to pretend that I’m not hearing popular rap songs for the 1st time.

The two Popes aren’t going to sword fight with so many people around. They’re going to wait & do it at night in a garage or something.

During an interview on ABC, President Obama said that for the next 10 years, the debt will be “in a sustainable place”.
Much like bowling pins 10 seconds before a strike.
I’m with Ace on being skeptical about this. It’s just too perfectly 80s. It’s just seems it had to have been made as a parody of everything 80s and can’t actually be from the 80s. But there is evidence it actually is from back then (here’s apparently a photo of the main guy from it as he looks now). Anyway, here is The Karate Rap:
The parakeet is the part where I’m like, “This has to be a joke.”
We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend. And we honor those ideals by upholding them not when it’s easy, but when it is hard.
BARACK OBAMA, Nobel Lecture, Dec. 10, 2009
The hardest ideal to uphold? One that’s unconstitutional.
[NOTE: I came across a huge page of Obama quotes, and most of them are vague politi-speak with no real meaning. Yet I find myself drawn to the notion of interpreting those quotes in terms of what he’s actually done for the last 4 years. I think I’ll make this a regular feature with it’s own category until doing so ceases to amuse me. If it becomes boring, let me know and I’ll stop, as I love you Moon Nukers more than I hate Obama.]
I respect Michael Bloomberg. Why? Because he’s an honest liberal. Here’s what he recently said:
“I do think there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom.”
Liberals are very anti-freedom these days, with their high taxes, the regulations, the wanting to keep you from having guns — but they never frame it that way. They always frame it as being pro-freedom. “I’m freeing you from worry by taking away your choices about health care!” It would just be nice for some liberals to finally be honest and come out and say, “Yeah, I’m not really feeling this whole ‘freedom’ thing; it’s kind of in the way of all the plans we have. And people spending their own money on things they want instead of me spending their money on things I say they should want — that just annoys me.”
But Bloomberg is basically coming out as the anti-freedom politician. Then maybe we can finally have a real, honest debate with liberals of freedom versus all their ideas they think are so much better than freedom. Because that’s where the debate actually is, but the left just does everything they can to keep it from being framed that honestly.
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
In the latest bizarre video from North Korea…
So Jim Carrey did a video for Funny or Die mocking gun owners as dumb hicks compensating for small penises because he’s from Hollywood where people tend to be stupid and bigoted and latch on to trendy causes. Now, I didn’t watch the video, as I only have so much time in the day and I’m not into political hatred porn, but I did find it interesting that apparently he has an armed bodyguard. So it’s really easy to follow his logic:
“Who are these paranoid freaks who want to carry around guns? Don’t they trust the bodyguards that follow them around them 24/7?”
This is probably similar to Bloomberg’s thinking. Instead of “Let them eat cake” it’s “Let them hire bodyguards.”
And talking about compensating for things, ever wonder why actors lash out politically like this? It’s because lots of people listen to them, but the actors know in their hearts they are very dumb people with nothing worthwhile to say. And thus they lash out like this to try and compensate for their lack of intellect.
Well, let’s relieve some pressure for Jim Carrey. Jim, you’re just a dancing monkey. Just because we toss at nickels at you to see you dance doesn’t mean we want your opinion on anything. So just keep smiling and dancing and just leave the little thoughts you have to rattle around in the hollow melon of yours.
And if you’re going to do another Funny or Die video, do a Fire Marshall Bill sketch. I miss those.
You can’t be against fascism and for government expansion. That’s like being against mass shootings while arming the mentally ill.
If the push for gay marriage is like the civil rights movement of the 60s, did the civil rights movement have this much self-back patting?
Why are owls so fat?
No matter what trendy causes Hollywood celebrities latch onto, they tend to be not very smart and quite bigoted.
“Guns should only be the hands of the government and my personal bodyguards.” -every major gun control advocate
There should be an extremely punitive tax on advocating for more taxes.
So did the first guy to think of adding 9/10ths to the price of a gallon of gas make a million billion dollars?
I don’t think we’re to the point that the government can force you to eat broccoli. It can only force you to buy it.
I miss Fire Marshal Bill 🙁
There’s a perfectly rational explanation for everything in this universe once you get past the absurdity that anything exists at all.
Bill Gates wants a better rubber. Not necessarily for him, mind you, but for people in general.
According to the Grand Challenges in Global Health project of the Gates Foundation, they want a better rubber:
We are looking for a Next Generation Condom that significantly preserves or enhances pleasure, in order to improve uptake and regular use.
They’re serious about this. They’re offering $100,000 to help you get the project up … so to speak. They think that’s enough to cover it.
Now, I’ve never considered taking on such a project, but I suspect it would be hard. But, I’m sure there are plenty of people who would love to go hands-on in such an adventure. And, if they succeed, I’m sure good things will come.
There one thing, though. Despite the fact that Bill Gates is no longer running Microsoft, there’s the natural association of him with the software giant. He founded the company, and ran it for years. Bill Gates and Microsoft are still thought of as one.
Add to that the fact that one of the primary uses of a condom is prevention of disease. They’re not just for stopping pregnancy anymore; they’re for stopping the spread of disease. Viruses.
What’s Microsoft’s record at stopping viruses?
Consider this: if someone says they got a virus, do you immediately thing of a disease? Or are you wondering if their Windows computer is infected?
Heck, I recently spent a couple of days removing trojans (the sneaky virus kind, not the prophylactic) from someone’s Microsoft computer. Really. It was a very serious, very hard-to-fix problem. Ended up having to reformat the hard drive and restore the computer to factory settings after all other efforts failed.
So, should you trust something from Microsoft to stop a virus? Not on your life.
