Thank you, Mr. Buckles

The last ramaining piece of touchable American history of that war is now gone.

Rest well, sir.

I have a big, hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach now.

Full stop!

Hint to you clueless, stupid motherfuckers in the MSM; start with a correct premise and you might end up with a conclusion that makes some sense.

As it stands in the linked article, that simply can not happen, to wit;

"Regardless of how much closer Obama's budget brings our economy into a balance of payments not seen since 2001..."

Um, I don't think you stupid motherfuckers have been paying attention lately, have you?

Walter Duranty would be mighty proud of that overt propaganda, doncha think?

Isn't that rich?

Read that headline,

"Wisconsin protesters want Fox News to ‘tell the truth’"

I tell you what, whenever it is that MSNBC fires Rachel Maddow, and CNN and the Big Three want to start cleaning up their acts, maybe those filthy fucking libs can then finally demand that Fox stops with whatever perceived slant there may be in their newscasts.

I'm not putting any money on whether any of those Marxist assholes sees any of the sophistry, half truths, deceptions and outright lies coming out of the MSM the same way that I do.

Fuck the lot of them.

Slide or Crash?

You might think from watching the news headlines this morning that we are on the brink, what with the commies threatening to take over the state government of Wisconsin (but I repeat myself), to the Iranians putting naval vessels in the Suez Canal, which has had the expected side effect of raising the price of oil to about a hundred bucks a barrel.

Roberta seems to think that the whole bit will be, and has been almost designed for, a slow slide, rather than a crash, but what Helicopter Ben can't account for are the variables outside of his direct control, like those mentioned above.

I don't like any of it.

Shit just looks bad and is currently looking to get a LOT worse.

I'm with Tam, time to oil the leather and shine the brass, 'cuz uncivil times are at the doorstep.

Here's just ONE reason to be armed at all times

Scroll on down there and treat yourself to a big helping of that much lauded, "civil discourse," of the Left.

Look at the rather explicit call for raping of "hot teabaggers," or whatever epithet those cretins care to use.

The cure for this is, of course, shooting the bastards in the face when getting accosted by these cannibals, which is why the union goons have always been in bed with the likes of the Donks and Gun Control, Inc.

Things are getting messy the world 'round, and I expect no different to happen here, where the cannibals are especially pampered and well catered-to. Expect escalations and frequency increases as this situation devolves.

Wisconsin is only the tip of the cliché on this.

Things couldn't be going more to script

The proletariat is blaming their poor, downtrodden ways (complete with health benefits) on the Guvner, whose political association is nominally (R), because he's supposedly trying to stuff a bill down their throats that would somehow curb their collective bargaining ability, or something.

I don't care at all about those fucking socialists.

For me, it's just another data point in this whole mess.

Taking notes

RTWT.

I can't help but laugh

Note the irony;

"Despite objections from participants, federal officials have barred the popular Solar Decathlon from the National Mall this year over concerns that the large-scale event would cause too much property damage"

The Solar Decathlon will cause too much property damage.

SOLAR.

CAUSING.

TOO MUCH.

DAMAGE.

Who's going to go all in?

Israel's Air Force completely outclasses Iran's, but if it's purely a large scale naval war that's getting started, well, I just don't know.

Normally, I'd look at such stories as being unlikely to be true, and nothing more than crap from the rumor mill, but the last few weeks have shown what kinds of turmoil have been festering.

I'd give even odds that Iran is looking to pick a fight, thinking they can get away with it...and they probably can, given the current state of world affairs.

Hope everyone's ready for a shit storm, and I do mean everyone.

But who's been getting the blame this whole time?

BDS, from sea to shining sea.

Still.

No real surprise, is it?

(Yawn)

Go back to sleep.

Nothing to see, here.

Festive, ain't it?

Looks like we're all picking up speed in the big swirl 'round the bowl.

At least to me, anyway.

Barry, you're a moron

Here's a clue for Barry; Facts lie outside of what his perceptions of reality may be. There is no boat, and this isn't about building a consensus, as much as some would like it to be.

He's a dipshit, so I'm sure if he read that a million times, it wouldn't occur to him what the problem might be.

I'd normally mention something right about now about how nice the next general election sounds, but let's face it, the opposition isn't really anything of the sort, and besides, who do they have lined up as an "adversary?"

Bring on the suck for another 6 years.

"Well, you just can't kill that many people with a knife"

It was an incorrect assertion from a former co-worker several years ago when he muttered it to me, after doing his usual schtick of jumping up and down about the abject horror he was in over the expiration of the misnamed "Assault Weapons Ban," and how it was all Shrub's fault for letting that insipid non-sense lapse, or something.

He was shocked, shocked, to learn that I, as an architect, who must of course be a fellow Liberal Idiot, by definition, was not only a gun owner, but that my interests were not merely in over/under waterfowling pieces valued at that of a new German mid-sized sedan.

No, his hobby-horse about magazine capacity was that it was just not plausible that anyone could use more than ten rounds for anything other than murdering people. Those were his exact words. He then goes on the ridiculous rant about how someone just can't kill as many people with a knife as he could with a gun with bunches of ammo stowed in the magazine.

Turns out he was wrong.

BTW, how's that gun control working out for the peasants in New York?

Laughing my ass off over here

Outrageous claims of how energy efficient LEED certified buildings are has long been a source of contempt for me.

I find it interesting that a real scientist, with relevant and pertinent knowledge, has been the one with the stones to drag this bullshit fraud out into the sunlight for its due cleansing.

I predict, however, that it's something that will be settled out of court, and that the USBGC will not have to admit any guilt, nor amend, in any meaningful way, their claims to their points-based rating system.

I'll admit it, I sincerely hope they burn over the whole debacle.

The Dictator is "losing patience"

Barry must have been briefed by one of his Socialist, asswipe buddies on his title, or something, because he sure seems to think that he is in charge over there.

He really needs to take a lesson from Washington on Foreign Entanglements.

I swear, the more of this shit I see, the more inclined I am to truly move to the middle of nowhere, and tend cattle or some other form of agrarian trade.

Oh wait, that's the new Enviro-Whacko cause du-jour.

I have, in my possession, a compendium of books of fiction that read as a pretty good instruction manual for dealing with such things.

I have made many notes.

Way to roll back that spending, idiot.

His incompetancy is only overshadowed by his even bigger ego.

Time to destroy the EPA

Slit their throats.

All of them, while we still have the chance.

Look into the eyes of the dragon, and despair!

I had prepared a nice, snotty post of this, but Blogger ate it.

Read that bit about, "conventional Constitutional analysis," and see if you threw your Bullshit flag, like I did.

King Barry just called and declared that his shit doesn't stink, and that the serfs are to do as they are told!

These self-righteous pricks think that their precious fucking law is beyond the reach of the courts.

And they are wrong.

Bring on more of this shit, 'cuz it's all going right where I want it.

You have no business dictating any terms,

Barry.

Just because YOU think things should happen a certain way, in another country, doesn't mean that it will, or that the citizenry of same country have the same feeling about the situation as you do.

Keep your filthy hole shut, you stupid fuck.

Snopocalypse

Nine inches and counting. Coming down at about 2"+ per hour.

Wind blowing...to no one's surprise.

15 degrees and dropping.

On the plus side: the fire is going, the power is still on and there's plenty of food in the pantry.
