Random Thoughts

So who doesn’t participate in a secret mailing list where you bash conservatives?

BREAKING: Markos Moulitsas will now cover conservatives for the WaPo in a feature entitled “Screw ‘Em!”

I’m starting an exclusive list for only right-leaning journalists where we make fun of conservatives behind their backs.

Whoops. Too exclusive. I didn’t make the list.

If I were to compare the current state of our country to a Season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it would be season six. Our current threats seem silly compared to the big bads of the past, and everything is just generally depressing. We could use a musical episode, though.

So you have free speech. Unless you’re in a group. Except if you’re a union.

If you were going to commit suicide by setting yourself on fire, do you think you could resist saying, “Flame on!” before lighting?

I hate that we have a ten based number system. Ten is 2^3 + 2^1. It’s a stupid, arbitrary number.

If only we had eight fingers like the Simpsons.

I don’t like it when the Supreme Court cites foreign law, as it’s only a step away from citing Ape Law.

I’m watching soccer, haven’t showered yet today, and haven’t fired a gun in a long while; am I turning European?

I think baseball would really benefit from the vuvuzela.

I’m always missing goals in soccer. It would really help if the commentators shouted, “Something’s happening!” when something is happening.

People have jobs in art galleries a lot in fiction. It’s a very popular job if you’re fictional.

What percentage of G20 protestors do you think actually understand what they’re protesting?

What we learned from the World Cup is to never again let South Africa host anything because the country is full of horn-blowing sociopaths.

Take the dumbest, most obnoxious internet troll and make him an unquestioned dictator. That’s North Korea.

  1. If you were going to commit suicide by setting yourself on fire, do you think you could resist saying, “Flame on!” before lighting?

    I would find a pair of sunglasses and say, “Burn, baby, burn.”

    I don’t like it when the Supreme Court cites foreign law as it’s only a step away from citing Ape Law.

    When the Supreme Court starts citing foreign law, the best hopes will be secession or a military coup.

    I’m watching soccer, haven’t showered yet today, and haven’t fired a gun in a long while; am I turning European?

    I haven’t watched more than ten minutes of any soccer game, I will shower in the evening, and my basement is filled with the beautiful scent of Hoppe’s No. 9; hooah.

    It would really help if the commentators shouted, “Something’s happening!” when something is happening.

    There’s no need; I’ve been doing it myself from home.

    Make him a Colonel and that’s Libya.

  2. What percentage of G20 protestors do you think actually understand what they’re protesting?

    A little less than 1% do, they are the ones leading the protests who know if the world starts using free markets and capitalism they will be shown to the door, losing power. The 99% who don’t know, are generally well trained in liberal thought.

  3. I’m watching soccer, haven’t showered yet today, and haven’t fired a gun in a long while; am I turning European?

    Do you hate America and Joos yet? No? then there’s still hope. Get yourself a bagel on the way to the range – you’ll feel much better.

  4. If I were to compare the current state of our country to a Season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it would be season six. Our current threats seem silly compared to the big bads of the past, and everything is just generally depressing.

    That’s because, just as in Season Six, you don’t see that the real big bad is closer to home. While you are focused on external threats, someone powerful, someone you thought was supposed to help protect and preserve your way of life is attempting to destroy your whole world.

  5. I think movie dialog would really benefit from the vuvuzela… French Soldier: I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I toot my vuvuzela in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

    Sir Galahad: Is there someone else up there we can talk to?
    French Soldier: No, now go away or I shall toot my vuvuzela at you a second time.

    That’s what Nelson Rockefeller said, but the men actually lighting themselves on fire were chanting, “Attica, Attica, Attica!” Rockefeller didn’t mess around.

  7. I’m The players are always missing goals in soccer. It would really help if the commentators shouted, “Something’s happening!” when something is happening.” -Fixed it.

    This blog doesn’t qualify? Your criticism of both Rand Paul and David Frum doesn’t earn you your bona fides in the liberal world?

    So you have free speech. Unless you’re in a group. Except if you’re a union.

    I don’t like it when the Supreme Court cites foreign law, as it’s only a step away from citing Ape Law.

    Congress writes Ape Laws.

  8. “BREAKING: Markos Moulitsas will now cover conservatives for the WaPo in a feature entitled “Screw ‘Em!”

    Where he’s doing exactly the same thing he did in his blog, The Daily Komissars. Moulitsas is branching out.

    “What percentage of G20 protestors do you think actually understand what they’re protesting?”

    Somewhere between 0.00% and 0.07% if my calculations are correct. The rest are just there hoping to hookup with some hippy chick. Please note the percentages listed above also correspond to the percentage that has taken a bath in the last month or so.

  9. As a whedon fan I tried Buffy season one but it was just too old feeling to get into. Is there a newer season that is a good starting point?

    -You know your talking to idiots if you spend more time stating what your not saying then what you are.

    -Your only real choice is to open or close the gate. Once It is open you no longer get to decide what comes through it.

  10. shiggz – season 1 is easily the weakest of them all and, mercifully, the shortest.

    Season 2 it is very good. It has a better designed season-long story arc and introduces Spike a very important character. Most significantly, it tells the story of Buffy and Angel’s great tragedy – a tragedy that will haunt them and color everything for the rest of their lives.

    I understand what you are saying about “feeling old” but do stick with it. The series as a whole is, in part, about Buffy growing up – growing from frivolous teen to a mature and confident warrior and leader.

    You might just be right. I know a Danish/American libertarian (there is such a thing) who would sometimes hang with the socialists just because young socialist women are easy to get into bed.

  12. “If I were to compare the current state of our country to a Season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it would be season six. Our current threats seem silly compared to the big bads of the past, and everything is just generally depressing. We could use a musical episode, though.”

    Is that the season where Willow suddenly turned gay for no apparent reason? Because, that was certainly the dumbest move in the series.

    Hope he used a condom. I’d hate to see his ding-a-ling end up in the “dustbin of history”.

    Will the 2010 election be Tabula Rasa

    Let’s just hope it’s not Life Serial.

    It wasn’t for “no reason”. Her boyfriend had just left her and she met someone she liked on various levels. Also, she was in college and, as anyone who has read Penthouse Forum extensively can tell you, all college girls are bisexual.

  15. “You might just be right. I know a Danish/American libertarian (there is such a thing) who would sometimes hang with the socialists just because young socialist women are easy to get into bed.”

    You got that right. When I was single all I had to say to a socialist babe was something incoherent and socialist sounding like “The dichotomy between Marx and Engles over the true nature of of the proletariat masses versus the capitalist exploiters can cause one to wonder if Lenin completely understood the ramifications of socialist theory as applies to the class struggle woven into the fabric of the industrial revolution as a source of inspiration for the science of Communism.”

    Trust me, it was “Your place or mine, comrade?” after that.
