Far East Cynic

I’ll take “pompous, religious zealots” for a $100 Alex.

My Canadian counterpart does a fine job this morning taking apart our new Galtian overlords. I like to think of conservatism and libertarianism as informed philosophies. Republicanism wants to be seen as anything but, so fuck them. Perhaps that makes me an elitist. I like to think it does.

The beatings will continue till morale improves……

The teabaggers are leading a revolution all right, its just more similar to the French one than the American. It would appear it is not just Black Shoes that eat their own. Ronald Reagan weeps……………

Its only Ok when they do it.

Lex , it seems,  is bothered when the other side takes up the tactics of Tea Party America. Now the simple truth of it is that neither side helps its case when they resort to Nazi images and other such nonsense. As on of his commenters put it, it is

Partying like its 1932……

“Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don’t vote.” The population of  Delaware is 849,000.  The lady who doesn’t like masturbation or sex-got just 30,172 votes tonight. Even assuming a 55/45% split Democratic / Republican and subtracting out underage folks that still leaves a lot of people

Pretty Interesting

When a Canadian understands the Constitution better than a lot of Arizonans or teabaggers do: I haven’t objected to the new Arizona “papers please” law, SB 1070 (PDF), on the basis that its racist, although it probably is. I object to to it because it violates the Supremacy Clause (Article

One company that loves tea parties…….

The fine folks who brought you all 64 colors, of course! Crayola Thanks the Tea Partiers – watch more funny videos UPDATE! WTF happened to the video-did Crayola get pissed or did the tea baggers make her lose her job too?

Things to say but not energy to say them…….

Because what point would it serve? When the world is full of SO MANY STUPID CONCLUSIONS, you just don’t know where to begin refuting them. Give me some time-I’ll work up a good head of steam. But for the record, its probably a good thing FDR did not have to be President with

Does size matter?

Evidently it does when you talking about douche teabaggers:  But yesterday, someone told a real whopper. ABC News, citing the DC fire department, reported that between 60,000 and 70,000 people had attended the tea party rally at the Capitol. By the time this figure reached Michelle Malkin, however, it had

The perfect comeback……

 A coworker and myself were down in the little cafeteria in our building, when we watched on the TV as this man verbally assaulted Arlen Specter:   Watch CBS Videos Online   Specter missed a great opportunity to make a point. And it probably points out why more Congressmen should

Worth repeating……

Why do I have to hear the truth via an Australian ? A closely related rhetorical device — the idea that Americans or American values are “unique” — also deserves attention. For example, Emanuel describes individualism and equality of opportunity as “uniquely American.”1 Senator Max Baucus (D-MT), chairman of the
