Hopefully, the father/son combo can make up time in the potato sack race.
Bill Kristol met Snowbilly on a Konservative Kruise, so there’s no telling what a Libertarian Launch event might lead to. Maybe Dave Weigel will get a hard-on for that chicken lady.
I hope all the Reason-bots enjoy the pungent smell of sweet crude up their nostrils constantly. Actually, I don’t. Actually, I hope it singes their nose hairs and makes them sick. But, then again, I’ve always been a cock-eyed optimist.
“That was no act of moderation. That was an overreaction — a desire by Obama to move the narrative from ‘do nothing’ to ‘do something.’ He did something alright. In his zeal to turn this from his Katrina to his 9/11 with a ‘Never Again’ moment, he destroyed an entire industry.”
These words…they are in English…grammar is good…but what do they mean?
Ayn Rand from Ft. L? Guess which canal she came out of.. ba-dum-bum.
Yeah, Eric, it’s outrageous that Obama seems to think the bloated Wall Street plutocrat-parasites who make money by fucking over the consumers, the workers and the environment might be an enemy.
The Reason libertarians might be good at giving a cruise, but they’re really good with the relevant cultural references; I mean, an old guy like me does vaguely remember The Love Boat from when I was a small child.
Matt kinda looks wierd.
I refuse to look up “popcorn shrimping” on the urban dictionary.
[re=594197]SmutBoffin[/re]: Was this ever Obama’s Katrina? Maybe, if the oil spill were a-rolling in from the South Atlantic & we knew days in advance it would happen. & it were on land, not at sea a few hundred (?) miles away.
[re=594197]SmutBoffin[/re]: Look at the byline, then you will know the author as always has no idea what he means.
I have to pass on one comment from the Reason cruise article:
“Sovereign Individuals of the Flies”.
I think Ygelisas’ blog post is a pre-emptive defense of him eating breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Beijing KFC.
You write about Matthew (“Matt”) Yglesias (“Tacos”) too often. You’re making me jealous. Now I’m going to have to tell Matt to STEP THE FUCK OFF MY MAN.
[re=594202]ph7[/re]: Christ, is that sweat?
[re=594206]Crank Tango[/re]: Popcorn shrimping is when a white girl, or diminutive white homosexual, sucks your toes (meant for the black man).
Dear Dad,
I wanted to bring you buckets of blood and the skulls of nonbelievers, but instead I just got you this lousy card.
Happy Fathers Day
What is the Reason crew going to do on this cruise anyway? Spend the whole time playing Dungeons and Dragons? Besides, isn’t a cruise kind of “collectivist”?
[re=594197]SmutBoffin[/re]: they mean the essentialization of the deconstruction of the paternalistic hegemony and its filial constructs. thanks to this rash action on the part of our unborn kenyan overlord, as i gaze out my shattered window i see before me the wasteland of an entire destroyed industry—smoldering oil derricks, overturned tanker trucks, exploding gasoline stations, and in the distance, out to sea, several sinking supertankers. how could he have spoken so rashly in his thoughtless shifting of the narrative? had he nor foresight? could he not have even suspected that the merest words from his awesome mouth would wreak instant havoc?
[re=594225]JMP[/re]: Son of Erik has a distinctive prose style. It is as if you took a semi-intellectually challenged chimp and fed it nothing but mescaline and gin for a week.
[re=594197]SmutBoffin[/re]: I only hope the battered and struggling oil industry can survive.
More from redstate:
“Again and again, before this man picks a policy, he picks an enemy. Wall Street executives must be smote. Doctors performing unneeded tonsillectomies on kids must be restrained. Republicans must be neutered.”
Republicans neutered? I guess I haven’t been following Obama’s policies very closely. Damn he’s a badass!
Oh goody, a whole boatload of Reasontards. Half of them will be trying to storm the bridge because they’re ALL sovereign entities and nobody else gets to decide where they’re going. The other half will be in the galley stabbing each other with forks, trying to “corner the market” on dinner rolls and crab legs.
I think what Matt Yglesias is saying is that if we integrate our xenophilic culinary tendencies with our palatonormative monoculture we’ll realize that a kung pao double down is just as authentically American as it is Chinese — and we’ll also start liking our popcorn shrimp covered in light sweet crude if we can get past our archaic stratification of the concepts of “food” and “oil.”
[re=594247]GoinGreen[/re]: See now I have heard that, and I have also heard that it involves a straw, a damnnearkilled’em, and some santorum. gonna go barf now.
…accuses the congressman of, among other things, having “defecated on the very words of our constitution.”
The ball’s in your court, Sen. Vitter.
[re=594259]comicbookguy[/re]: See, this is where the ‘popcorn’ shrimp come in. I have a nice sharp pair of fly tying scissors that should work nicely, really sharp and the blades are only a half inch long. I could lend em if they clean em up nice before they send em back.
[re=594263]SayItWithWookies[/re]: precisely. but let us not limit our palate to the light sweet crude. a touch of baobab, for instance, can root the flavor and impart a delicate tang, while a kutubu blend provides a solid base that lends itself to various additional enhancements. feel free to explore!
[re=594259]comicbookguy[/re]: I’m confused, is Republiklans being neutered supposed to be a bad thing?
And another commenter made mention of rising gas prices. I haven’t witnessed that either. I guess that is in the same category as the rising taxes I keep hearing about.
[re=594263]SayItWithWookies[/re]: The corporate overlords at P.F. Chang’s and KFC would like to speak with you about filching their idea for the next big culinary masterpiece.
Of course, Ayn Rand would treat Dr. Paul and his friends with scorn. Unlike them, she was adamantly pro-choice.
Cruise ships and blimps? Why can’t we have some form of frivolous, laissez faire transportation? Like hovercrafts attached to bald eagles that are powered by rockets.
Speaking as a veteran of at least one cruise, on a cruise ship, I take solace in the fact that they won’t fill the whole ship with their kind. Cruise ships have many themes at once, like scrapbookers, stampers, and the ever-popular “booze cruise” all on board at the same time. With any luck, you can hook up with a booze-cruiser and have access to unlimited amounts of alcohol.
“AIPAC will accuse Donna of being a muslin Helen Thomas in 3, 2, 1″
That’s a little crazy. Are you suggesting you can’t criticize Isreal? Sure, they are the only rational people in that part of the world, but suggesting that they control the news media, or entertainment industry (in the U.S. of A) is like saying they control the diamond markets in New York. Oh…wait, that didn’t come out right. Probably because I’m anti-semetic or something. I should probably self-censor. It’s like being “asked to resign”.
[re=594617]masterdebater[/re]: Hopefully this is sarcasm or maybe you are a troll- no one really cares. And it is semitic but then spelling is never a strong point with you.
The political reaction to the BP crisis leads to one essential and obvious conclusion about the mind of the right wingers. Oil is conservative and the sea is liberal, which neatly fits into the salient attitude paradigm that oil is good and the sea is bad. And anyone that thinks that the oil spill is bad has been indoctrinated by the MSM to believe that popcorn shrimp, sea turtles, pelicans and the like are somehow superior to unborn fetuses.
