McCain to Congress: Get Back to Work!

There seems to be a lot of choose from in terms of comments on McCain’s recent visit to Sturgis, South Dakota to pay his respects at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

What to choose from? McCain’s “we’re gonna drill now! we’re gonna drill here!” nonsense? His offering his wife up as a competitor to the racy Miss Buffalo Chip competition (in his defense, that cunt does “plaster on the makeup like a trollop”)?

Nah… those things are too easy. I find pointing out hypocrisy to be much more rewarding.

Fox News: The Godwin Law Channel

Not too long ago, I forced myself out of bed at 4am so I could catch the bus to the airport. I remember being pretty groggy. I’m sure if I had to get up every day at 4am to do my morning show at 6am, I might get a few facts mistaken from time to time. I can only hope I wouldn’t be such a douche in doing it as the folks on Fox and Friends, and I’m including Michelle Malkin in that formulation.

You mean none of Obama’s advisors checked the Google to discover the Berlin Victory Column’s ties to Nazis? What with it being built in 1873, at the height of Prussia’sNazi Germany’s ascension.

What a distinction such a backdrop should raise in the minds of Americans compared to such great German symbols of freedom as the Brandenburg Gate, where Republican Demigod President Reagan famously spoke, as shown below:

1934 Nazi Rally at Brandenburg Gate

Oops, that’s a Nazi rally at the Brandenburg Gate! It’s Berlin… who knew?!

I guess when your name is a variant of “douchey”, you can’t really help yourself.

Seriously… I don’t know how anyone can watch Fox News without puking.

Evil!

A new evil has descended upon the internet. Not quite as annoying as pop up ads, but at least as insidious. That evil: rollover ads.

I’ve noticed a number of Flash-based banner ads that popover the browser window when you roll over them. So far I’ve mostly seen this on facebook while playing Mob Wars. The insidious part is that all it takes is a wayward swipe of the mouse to trigger this nonsense.

Evil!

Mountains Out of Molehills

5-15-2008 Update: Updated the Geddes pic. Let that be a lesson to me to just make a copy in the first place.

I’ve been hearing the buzz surrounding Miley Cyrus (aka Disney Channel’s “Miley Stewart” aka “Hannah Montana”). I heard about the controversial photo of Cyrus taken by Annie Leibovitz that apparently had everyone’s panties in a ruffle, since Cyrus is only 15. So, of course I, along with the other 7 billion people in the world, had to go take a look. I have to say… what a bunch of bullshit.

Americans Who Make Me Sick - Antonin Scalia

Posted in Culture, Patriotism, Politics, Rants at 10:36 am by madcap

I just ran across this tidbit from Wikipedia:

In a legal conference in Ottawa, Canada, for example, US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia took offense at a Canadian judge’s remark that his nation did not consider what Jack Bauer would do when setting policy. “Scalia shot back: “Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles…. He saved hundreds of thousands of lives… Are you going to convict Jack Bauer? Say that criminal law is against him? ‘You have the right to a jury trial?’ Is any jury going to convict Jack Bauer? I do not think so.”
Jack Bauer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scalia: You make me sick.
