No Rest! Out of My Mind for 11 July 2009

Britney, my favorit J.A.P.!

A witty saying proves nothing. — Voltaire

The Uighur crisis updated.

And of course it’s not just it’s only the Chinese. Our GOP’s pretty good at its own form of warring on freedom. Really buy that line of crap that the public sector can’t do anything? The post-9/11 attack on freedom began within weeks of 9/11. And again, they accomplished little other than to reduce our freedom, giving the terrorists a second success. (More here about the GOP attack on American liberty.)

It’s the 50th anniversary of the invention of pantyhose. And here I celebrate it by admiring all the bare-legged women….

Who killed Obama’ healthcare reform? if the writer means the public option, the answer of course is Obama. If he thinks there won’t be a health insurer windfall bill, he’s out of his mind.

10 July was Nikola Tesla’s birthday!

Sick idiots. And exactly why are they newsworthy, why do the Big Media give these sick people inciting other sick people credibility? And don’t forget to track down the cover story of the July 2009 Harper’s. (Might be available here or here.)

Leadership We Need, and Hope; Out of My Mind for 10 July

Beloved Leader couldn't have done this any better....

As Big Journalism implodes and collapses and stuff, here’s one asshole who deserves — well, as one of the terminated, it’s hard for me to say fired — let’s just say he’s well qualified to seek a new profession as journalism is clearly wrong for him, given his utter lack of perspective and ability to perceive and acknowledge reality.

What do you think? Don’t you think plagiarism is deliberate or results from some form of imbecility, neither of which is appropriate a professional, legitimate journalist? I mean, how the hell do you copy something unconsciously?

Whoa, it’s Jayson Blair time at the Times again!

By all means, let’s worry about closeted gays serving in the military, not America-hating Nazis (or, for that matter, Christofascist proselytizers).

Unrest in China: what it’s about.

Are we dead in the water, with no future?

You don’t get published via Kindle; you give Amazon all your rights for your work to be available on a Kindle. Sweet! Not.

GOP family values: Getting your parents to pay off your mistress.

Palin lies. (More here and here.) Yeah, yeah, what else is new?

Palin’s enablers. (Remember, the whole GOP loves her, don’tcha know.)

Levi: Greed, not insanity, made Palin a quitter.

IT departments of small amd mid-sized businesses are interested in Macs and iPhones. I see it as cost-cutting in the IT industry created by the shitty difficulty of maintaining windows systems. Ditching one IT guy can save far more than the expense of switching to Macs and iPhones (which we know works wonderfully with Macs).

Too big to fail, now too big to jail.

A single GM car outsells Buick and Caddy!

Another teeny piece of my past, gone….

Read: The autobiography of Professor Krugman’s favorite science fiction writer.

The comic book of the day is here. (More here.) Another funny book is here. Remember, kids, these are good for you! (Well, at least the second is….)

I can’t afford to eat here anyway.

Exclusive Message from Sarah Palin; Out of My Mind for 9 July 2009

Sarah says: "Read this blog every day and tell all your friends, relatives, and enemies to read it daily too or I will blow my brains out!"

Grab this then thank me. And your Big Government.

2010 Vancouver Olympics fascism: Read about it here.

Essential reading: Obama; Less than Hoover (I said it first, this guy lays it all out). It’s the July 2009 Harper’s cover story. Can’t find a public link to it yet but here’s a taste. And a little Obama porn is here for the believers. (And again, I apologize for besmirching Hoover by comparing Obama to him. Obama clearly falls short of Hoover. And Obama has the benefit of the lessons of the Depression, which Hoover did not have.)

Dallas police chief to Beloved Leader: Drop dead.

Professor Krugman wonders how Big Media journos decide to fuck up. Sadly, he has no answers, just the question. Of course, maybe the Times’ ombudsman would at least like to answer address the question.

Joke: 60 Dems in Senate actually means anything more than 60 Dems in Senate. Specially with a president who refuses to lead them.

Another thing that amazes me: How people fail to comprehend just how totally and deeply screwed up nuts some pols are. Sarah is not the only pathological leader out there in the wild….

Another loser for Obama: an anti-science scientist.

Obama’s true agenda: Get rich for screwing the middle class. Even Hoover didn’t do that.

Steve Jobs’ secret ingredient is revealed here.

The economy is about to get much worse. The second phase of the housing meltdown is starting….

But Big Banks are doing okay. They cook their books to make all the bad stuff disappear and they steal from us.

Sad: Ex-Met Lenny Dykstra manages (pun intended) to get $31 million in debt, files for bankruptcy. Least I can do is embarrass him. I’d rather see him hung but only Bill O’Reilly can do and get away with stuff like that.

More GOP family values!

I have no issue with the Iran election. I do have a problem with post-election brutality:

What a line of shit! Clinton out b.s.’s Obama!

Rice paddy crop art.

(More like those last two are here.)

Admit it: You know Miley and her creepy dad in a remake of "Lolita" would rock more than you can imagine.

Naked Megan Fox: WATCH The ‘Jennifer’s Body’ Trailer

Because this can’t be posted too often….

Even More Out of My Mind for 8 July 2009

Let’s try (plug) Firefox and see if we managed not to have posts get eated by… WordPress has no explanation….

What I neither quite understand but amazes me too: People can’t or refuse to get their minds around the idea that just maybe Sarah Palin is quite stupid and/or (more or less) borderline insane. Or, for equal time, that Obama is simply totally dishonest, that he has no interest in actually accomplishing anything of note, that by and by he is simply continuing Beloved Leader’s failed policies with a slicker (or maybe just more liberal-friendly) line of shit. Consider this: is he really significantly better than the pre-Palin John McCain? Given the good will and popularity with which he took office, it is, at risk of understatement, an utter shame. And we re-elect the fucker, shame on us. (Yeah, yeah, I know, the GOP is all out of centrist alternatives to Brother Barack.)

Another policy of Beloved Leader’s Obama likes: Keeping acquitted detainees imprisoned.

Wow! The Times just discovered that the health reform bill is actually the private insurers windfall bill! “All the old news you’ve heard already that’s fit to print….”

GOP idiot: Michael Steele. (Yeah, yeah, an organization whose head is brainless…. But what des one expect from a parody?)

The Just Say “No” generation: They said “No” then did their dope. What else would one expect from the children of Raygun other than good old GOP hypocrisy?

Let’s watch a little good old American nativism:

It can’t(?) happen here:

Anyone care about about one more demon who brought on the financial crisis or can we focus now on the clear need and imperative for structural reform?

Modern leadership: attract whores, do nothing for your people. IThis is Berlusconi's current ho.)

Michael Jackson: Another opinion a sort of dissent.

iPhone app of the day: Smash the $treet.

(More about that last video is here.)

Of course I condone this image. (Click on it for the story.)

Ditto, I'm sure.

Likewise, I guess.

Really Out of My Mind for 7 July 2009

Safari crashed this morning, taking the entire draft for today’s posting with it. Maybe learned by lesson. To paraphrase Al Goldstein, “Fuck you, Apple!”.

Briefly (if only…), Out of My Mind for 6 July 2009

Since approximately 1980, people (well, and Big Media) have gotten like exponentially dumber and, pardon the expression, stupider. Think I’m wrong? Brit spook’s cover blown, by his wive, on Facebook. How stupid do you have to be to do that, or to marry someone stupid enough to do that?

This is why the speculation bubble must be reinflated.

So, as I was saying about Palin and the continuing need to, well, dis her: She’s stupid, crazy and can yet get elected president. (Me, I’ve stopped underestimating the American voter.) Here is what I believe is the latest insanity from the bitch: crazy tweets (or “twats” — I didn’t make that up) and insane threats of lawsuits.

Ooh, Professor K explains how the public option isn’t the terrible cost the CBO initially claimed but, well, fiscally sensible.
