Answering That Question About Nancy Pelosi

Posted by on

When I hear liberals say something particularly lacking in reason, logic, or sanity, I often pause, then ask “what color is the sky on your planet?”.

4of7 of Little Worlds [High Praise!], has, I think, finally answered that question with one of his recently-posted masterworks:

Lots more artwork to see if you click the link.

Also, a couple more episodes of his webcomic.

Al Gore Goes Vegan, Halts Global Climate Change

BONUS LINK:

Every once in a while, you need a reminder of why you don’t watch 24/7 cable news networks.

It’s an uncensored Onion video, so it’s not PG-13 enough to actually post here (described by the submitter (name withheld to protect the innocent) as “needs to be bleeped, but hilarious):

This Is What Happens When You Watch Mainstream Media TV News

And yeah, when I watch cable news, this is pretty much the narrative that’s going through my head.

Obama Warned Us – The Military

Posted by on

We cannot build the 21st-century military we need, and maintain the fiscal responsibility that America demands, unless we fundamentally reform the way our defense establishment does business. It’s a simple fact. Every dollar wasted in our defense budget is a dollar we can’t spend to care for our troops or protect America or prepare for the future.

BARACK OBAMA, speech, Aug. 17, 2009

“And I think EVERY dollar in our defense budget is wasted. Let me be clear: surrendering is a LOT cheaper.”

The Clearing – Chapter 2

Posted by on

So I posted the first chapter of the new novel I just finished the third draft of, and I’m going ahead and posting the second chapter as well because A) I really like the second chapter and the character introduced in it B) The way things go, it will probably be years until this novel is officially out and I write these things to be read.

BTW, if you asked to be a beta reader, you should have gotten an email from me by now, so tell me if I missed you. And even if you have no interest in being a beta reader, here’s chapter 2 because I’m just excited about this story. And, yes, it’s probably full of typos since I’m the only one who has proofed it so far, but I don’t care at this stage.

Lie of the Year

Posted by on

So Obama’s “If you like your plan, you can keep it.” has been named the Lie of the Year by PolitiFact. Shouldn’t have been lie of the year of 2010 when it was the lie used to get Obamacare passed? There is no way Obama would have been able to get all the Democrats behind him if he told the truth and said, “Millions of you who like your health care are going to lose it because we’ve decided to put more demands on insurance to make it more expensive.”

The actual Lie of the Year 2010 was calling Obamacare “A government takeover of health care.” And I guess that maybe wasn’t accurate, because when a tornado destroys a house, you don’t usually say, “That tornado sure took over that house.” Great job calling out that lie, you guys. Super helpful.

Actually, in 2009, PolitiFact rated the “If you like your plan, you can keep it” line as half-true. So back when it would have been helpful, they didn’t call Obama out on this massive lie. But now when it’s far too late, suddenly they’re on him. That’s how useful these “fact checkers” are. What do these guys even get a paycheck for? The media has been nothing but in the way as we’ve tried to fight Obama’s incompetence, and now look where we are.

Breaking Bad spoilers

Posted by on

breaking_bad_alt_ending_tI’m sure you’ve picked up that Frank J. didn’t watch Breaking Bad when the episodes originally aired. But, he finally gave in and has started watching them on Netflix.

What does this mean? Well, he doesn’t know what happened yet. He’s into Season Four now, and saw several things happen, but there are still a lot of surprises left.

He just recently saw the episode with Jesse and Gale, and Gus’ reaction to that. Mike has taken a bigger role in the show, but he doesn’t know where that’s going. And, he hasn’t seen the episode where we found out the history of Hector and Gus.

And, now we have the purpose of this post.

Don’t spoil Breaking Bad for Frank J., okay? Nobody needs to blow the surprise about what happens when Sklyer’s parents visit, Jesse becoming a priest, or us finding out that Marie and Gus are related.

Whatever you do, don’t mention Walt Junior’s being found dead in bed with Meth Whore Wendy, Skinny Pete and Badger on Air Force One, or the cross-over episode with Warehouse 13.

That kind of stuff will just spoil it for Frank J. So, no spoilers, okay?

If you mess this up, we’ll have to send Mike after you. Fourth-Season Mike, not Fifth-Season Mike.

Random Thoughts: Clowns, Birth Control, and Grapefruit

Posted by on

I’ll support any amendment that A) Takes power from government B) Give more power to people. Actually, A and B are two sides of same coin.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince some people that clowns are funny and not nightmarish hell-beings.

“I’ve finished writing my book on military strategy.”
“All it says is ‘Nuke ’em from orbit.'”
“THERE ARE NO FLAWS TO THAT PLAN!”

If you’re a woman who regularly spends $800 a month or more on birth control, Obamacare could be a big win for you.

The fake sign language guy shows us what the antics in a wacky comedy look like to everyone else who isn’t a part of it.

New budget rule idea: Every day the budget isn’t balanced, each member of Congress will be punched in the face by Capitol security.

So does the budget deal make us any more screwed or are we just maintaining the level of doom?

Maintaining the current level of doom would be pretty good while Obama is president.

We were supposed to honor Newtown with a bunch of gun control laws that wouldn’t have prevented Newtown. What happened?

I can’t believe Obama’s conduct at the Mandela funeral; didn’t he notice that no one else was blowing into a vuvuzela?

I think the best fix for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be to make Skye like Kenny from South Park in that she gets killed every episode.

We should confiscate all guns.
*secretly hides a gun so he’ll be only man in America with a gun and thus king*

The Hobby Lobby is one of the most powerful lobbies in Washington. That’s why there are so few laws on model glue.

I think the only way for Obama to save his popularity now would be to take a harsh stance against websites that autoplay videos.

So criminal mastermind George Zimmerman got away again.

My daughter will have vague memories of what a TV channel is.

My 6 mo son thinks a red bouncing ball is the funniest thing ever; some people find 2 Broke Girls to be funny, so who am I to judge.

When someone named the grapefruit, did he think the grape was a vegetable and he was distinguishing?

Grape and grapefruit is like having a Cadillac and a Cadillac-car and those being two completely different cars.

All I’m saying is whoever named the grapefruit must have been some sort of massive idiot. There is no other explanation.

I actually don’t know of any sport you can play while wearing a sports coat.

When I watched the “A Charlie Brown Christmas” as a kid, I don’t remember as many Hulu loading issues.

Grapefruit was named because it grows in bunches like grapes. Another fruit that grows in bunches like grapes: GRAPES!

I will not let this go!

So far in season 4, Walter White has reminded me of Starscream, brash, unlikable, and with constant delusions of taking over everything.

I’ll definitely get through these episodes before Netflix gets the back 8 of season 5. Probably buy those; this show deserves my money.

“I am the one who knocks, Megatron!”

I remember when I couldn’t broadcast my thoughts to the world from my phone. And when phones used to be anchored to the wall.

“Kids, you’re not cool enough to do drugs.” was the least successful anti-drug slogan.

It was 13 years ago yesterday that Al Gore started growing a beard.

Let’s say I want to be an establishment Republican; what’s the application process?

How much time do kids spend obsessing on the color of the guy who brings free toys?

#PraytoEndAbortion Many claim to be against violence, but it’s such a popular solution for pregnancy.

I’ve never been very sure what I’m supposed to do with all this time between Winter Olympics curling matches.
