Looking for wisdom and inner peace on Sunday...

...but, if not, the hat will do.

God has been busy.

I thought God pretty much rested after the first six days and hasn't made anything else since, just tended his flock. But Dodge brought us the rousing, pump-your-fist-in-the-air-YEAH! commercial which tells us that God was still working and making things on the eighth day, when he made a farmer.

Now we learn that God was STILL working on the ninth day.  Sooper Mexican brings us, "So God Made a Liberal".

Far be it for me to question God or to even suggest what He should do or not do...but it sure seems to me that things would have gone a whole lot smoother down here if God had rested on the ninth day.

There is no Z in Boise.

One of my favorite towns in the whole world.

And there is no "cow" in Moscow. It's pronounced Moscoe. Long o.

There is no "u" in Coeur d'Alene. It's pronounced Core d'Lane.

There is no "Pend" in Pend O'Reille.There are no "L's" either, for that matter. It's pronounced Pondor-ray.

Sandpoint is pronounced Sandpoint.

Welcome to Idaho.

"Our government sucks."

We are rapidly reaching a moment in our history where the concerns of the left and the right are intersecting. We may have come from vastly different places and may, indeed, be moving in vastly different directions, but -- for now -- we share a common cause.

The government sucks.

This video, which is long, gives you a fairly good idea of what's been going on. It's not pretty. And if the message in this video is even partially true, we are more screwed than a high school prom queen.

Video by the group, Anonymous. These guys are clever. VERY clever.

To the left: Glad to see you're finally beginning to realize your Sugar Daddy is not as "sweet" as you thought. Welcome to the party. We Bitter Clingers have been warning for years that you were going to end up where you were headed - fascism, totalitarianism. A police state. But noooooo. You were too busy giggling over all the goodies you thought government was going to provide for you.

Doesn't work that way. It has NEVER worked that way.

Government never gets big and stays good.

Our government is huge.

Our government sucks.

"...and also, celebrities are morons."

I couldn't have said it better myself.

This kid is pretty darn smart. Someone raised her right. And it wasn't her "daddy", Obama. But she needs to be careful and not ticked off all the people who might need a job because she needs her room cleaned, and I don't imagine her REAL mom is going to do that.  Or maybe she should just call up Michelle, her new "mom" and see whether being the "child" of the president comes with housecleaning.

Apparently it does come with food stamps. And $400.00 purses. And cash.

I never get away with anything.

Somehow these two pictures just go together.

 

I don't know. You figure it out.

REAL Gangnam Style! UPDATED - the Youngest Fan Dances!

In the video seen by over a billion people, mostly to point and laugh and dance around in circles while laughing hysterically, the singer does a really horrible attempt at the "pony". There are several shots in a stable, just so you understand what the jumping around is supposed to be.

Well, this guy shows you how horses REALLY move.

Now THAT's style.

*******************

UPDATED! HAHAHAHAHA!

This is the THIRD FOURTH time I have re-inserted this video. I am getting annoyed pissed.

It's good to be the king.

His Imperial Majesty, Obama The Beloved, is doing his very best to destroy American enterprise and the economy. Oh! I do so hope he makes it. I would hate to think that anything exceeds his grasp, so grand and glorious he is. Once the greatest economy the world has ever seen is reduced to ash, we will be finally set free of the yoke of brutal prosperity and delivered to the ennobling depths of cleansing poverty and despair. Then -- and only then -- will we at last understand that all good things come from government and our Wise and Just Rulers.

"You didn't build that."

"...at some point, you've made enough money."

"I believe that if you spread the wealth around, it's good for everyone."

"I don't believe people should be allowed to own guns."

"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can, it's just that it will bankrupt them."

"Under my plan electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket."

"Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual."

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

He's just warming up.

The Cost of Obama’s Regulatory Explosion

Nearly double the cost of the first three years of Bush and Clinton combined.

2:29 PM, Jan 30, 2013 • By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON

As Adam White discusses in detail, there’s nothing moderate or incremental about the increase in federal regulations — and hence in centralized executive power — under President Obama. To the contrary (as White notes), according to figures published by the Obama White House (see table 2-1), the costs of regulations issued by this administration have dwarfed the costs of regulations issued by prior administrations.

A picture may be worth a thousands words, but in this case, it's worth billions and billions of dollars.

Get used to poverty. It's good for you. Your Leaders have spoken.

When I grow up...

Sumpin' Just Don't Add Up.

"Don't just stand there!
Start shooting!"

Over the last couple of days a series of stories have crossed my newsfeed that have, when taken together, raised my level of concern from, "Things are getting a bit sticky" to "Better start shooting!"

First, over at DOUBLEPLUSUNDEAD, alexthechick posted yesterday about the citizen resistance concerning gun control and confiscation in New York. NEW YORK. Pause and let that sink in. New York. Neeeeeew York! New York is supposed to be a "smart" state, like California or Illinois. You know, run by Democrats and filled with liberals. SMART-smart. They certainly aren't supposed to be the location of the beginning of the revolution.

"Bring it on!"

As Alex notes, this video is "chilling." Chilling because only 40 years ago this scene was unthinkable in America. Now it has happened and we have police officers and officials taunting the crowd of law-abiding citizens with, "Bring it on!"

Bring it on. Really? I think, perhaps, he should consider the wisdom of that challenge.

Then, hilariously, we have the Department of Homeland Security releasing a video instructing ADULTS in the fine art of cowering.

The highly instructional video is entitled, "Options for Consideration Active Shooter Training Video." One will notice that shooting back is not an option. Cowering, hiding, running away, begging for help from 911, leaving behind wounded victims, fearing for your life, peeing in your pants, becoming hysterical (but quietly so the active shooter won't actively find you and actively shoot you), are all considered much better options than being armed and just shooting the fucker dead. Oh, and if you HAVE to fight back, use scissors.  Excellent advice. I've always known scissors were dangerous. Remember that warning about running with them? I think I've made my point.

My sense is that DHS would very much like to convince us that cowering in fear is the appropriate response to ANY show of force...even theirs. Especially theirs. And the military...e-ven.

Citizens, it is coming down to a couple of options. Grab your guns and prepare for battle or run away. OH! I forgot. Grab your scissors is the third choice.

 I always thought Monty Python was a farce, not a tactical choice of adult men and women. 

But wait! There's more. If they can't make you frightened and defenseless in the face of open aggression and violent threats, maybe they will just kill you all civilized like. Krazy Krugman gives away the game. (Bolding entirely mine.)

"And we’re also going to have to make decisions about health care, doc pay for health care that has no demonstrated medical benefits . So the snarky version…which I shouldn’t even say because it will get me in trouble is death panels and sales taxes is how we do this."

Why, hello, kittens. What have we here? The compassion of liberals married to the pragmatic use of force - which is all the state really is and so force is all it's capable of using to fix a problem. And as the esteemed and really, really smart Mr. Krugman admits, "Eventually we do have a problem." Really? That's not good because when states have "problems" -- big problems -- people end up dead. Every time. Always.

Or course they intend to tax you into poverty, then kill you. Nice. Mustn't "off" anyone who is still useful to the state.


The smart, kind, caring people believe we have too many of you and not enough money for them, so please go quietly or be shot. You get to choose. Well, damnit! I'm not going and I have SCISSORS! Get BACK!!!

The last story would be funny if it weren't becoming so nauseatingly familiar. The liberal elite are threatening us with their attack dogs. DHS and the military aren't enough. No, they are revving up the teachers. Yes, indeed. Mrs. Brown and Mr. Miller. You're kindergarten teacher. You're biology teacher. Just make anyone beholden to the Great God of Government for a couple of decades (in this case via the Department of Education and the NEA) and you create foaming-at-the-mouth greed and insanity. The trick is keeping the crazed teachers under control when they keep attending rallies where leaders are saying this kind of nonsense:

Lethal working conditions apparently
don't include loss of lunchroom privileges.

"The labor leaders of that time, though, were ready to kill. They were. They were just - off with their heads. They were seriously talking about that."

The comment drew laughs and some scattered applause before Lewis added, "I don't think we're at that point. The key is that they think nothing of killing us. They think nothing about putting us in harm's way. They think nothing about lethal working conditions."

Killing teachers. Callously. Routinely, it would seem. Lethal working conditions. Uh-hmmm....Lethal. Working. Conditions. One can only assume that she is talking about schools. Schools where our own children spend most of their days from age 6 to 18. Schools with lethal working conditions. I missed the news broadcasts where the little darlings and their desperately noble teachers were being taken out on gurneys virtually every day as we ruthlessly allowed them to DIE. What kind of people are we??? MY GOD! We deserve to die. Here's my scissors. I'll go quietly.


H/T: DOUBLEPLUSUNDEAD, Breitbart, American Thinker

This is why we have the Super Bowl

So men in this country don't have to do stupid shit like this to prove their manhood.

Cause you just KNOW that this is eventually going to happen to him.

I'm rooting for the crocodile. Kinda like rooting for the home team. And in the game today, I'm rooting for the 9er's. They're the home team 'round these parts.

HAVE A MASSIVE TACO-FUELED PARTY, EVERYONE! 

NO VEGETABLE PLATTERS! 

Demand a Plan. NOW!

Now that I've posted this, I feel like a famous, beautiful, awesomely wise, smart and caring celebrity, too!! I'm famous! I'm SMART! I CARE!!!

But not about you. Not anymore. Now that I'm famous, you're just one of the "little people". I'll be taking that gun now, thank you. I'll let my armed body guard hold it until the "authorities" arrive.

Stupid little people. HOW MANY MORE??? You don't care about anyone but yourself.

(Oh GOD! I love myself!!)

It's Sunday Morning

Think about it. That is exactly the answer we should all give.

Go for the news. Stay for the hilarity.

Veeshir over at DOUBLEPLUSUNDEAD  has an over-the-top funny post today rounding up all the insane hilarity on the political scene. I could sum it up for you by saying:

Israel is getting ready to bitch-slap Syria again while our Senators are mulling over ways to make us more safe and less free, but they don't really understand the difference between "scary looking" and "lethal" when it comes to guns so they figure to ban everything for good measure - even ski masks, and just when we thought politics might become too boring and predictable, Jerry Rivers is considering a run for Senate which may have caused a massive explosion of fireworks in China in celebration but who can know since the press is only reporting on their boyfriend in such slavish and obsequious deference that it is nauseating to anyone who doesn't have a cast-iron stomach.

 But I won't.  I'll let veeshir tell you.  He's funnier.
