Move The Mosque, Unless You Want David Paterson To Stab Someone?

by Riley Waggaman  

  • Barack Obama was cold shoppin’ for seafood and minding his own Martha’s-Vineyard-business when a reporter ambushed him for no reason with insensitive questions about Iraq. Obama responded with the old “We’re Buying [Popcorn] Shrimp, Guys. Come On.” [Daily Intel]
  • OH NO: In Philadelphia you need a $300 license to blog and/or write lists for eHow. Time to get a real job! [Matt Yglesias]
  • Alaskan moose savant and Sarah Palin protégé Joe Miller needs all of your money so that he forge more ballots than Lisa Murkowski. No time to lose! [RedState]
  • David Paterson is hopeful that the recent New York City (it’s a city near Ground Zero) Muslim-Stabbing will help America realize that if Park 51 is constructed so close to Ground Zero even more Muslims will be stabbed, and nobody wants that, per se. [Think Progress]
  • The results from the Weekly Standard Cruise 2012 Straw Poll are in, hooray! Bill Kristol voted for himself and tied for last place with one vote and Congressman Paul Ryan secured a staggering 51 votes, which means he is the president for the remainder of the cruise. [Weekly Standard]

Many thousands of the 300 million tits spoken of by Allen Simpson are currently dangling directly over Alaska. So how does a guy who advocates the ending of Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security get any traction in that state? Is it the beard?

“In Philadelphia, it’s worth three hundred dollars.”

(Too obscure? Plus I can’t remember the exact amount and am just hoping it was the same as it now costs to blog there.)

If this were the sixties and the cabbie a black man, an all white jury would have let the drunken attempted killer off in a heartbeat. That ain’t gonna happen this time, so there is that positive note to consider.

I figured the “forge” thing was a joke, but no, Erick and his commenters have turned the paranoia over non-existent election fraud on one of their own; the wingnut circular firing squad continues.

The Weekly Standard link currently goes to video of Chris Christie that based on the blurb probably isn’t what you were going for; still, the blogger lies in his little summary, Christie most definitely does sound like he’s whining.

Should Murkowski pull off an upset, I guarantee we’ll start reading stories about how her margin of victory was due to “illegals voting.”

It’s become a reflexive “lizard-brain” thing with these people to blame their losses on electoral shennanigans.

There’s a “Weekly Standard Cruise” to go along with the “National Review Cruise”? Why do all these right-wing men want to gather together to go ‘cruising’ all the time?

There are only 4 more months of the grand and glorious Paterson administration, and I, like many of my fellow New Yorkers, only wish for one thing: That Eliot Spitzer would come back and finish the term.

[re=646639]dr.giraud[/re]: Do you ever remember feeling that New York had a decent governor? I remember all the way back to Nelson Rockefeller and I didn’t like any of them. Spitzer seemed like a dream come true– articulate, brilliant, yada yada yada. How long did it take him to implode? Now I throw up a little bit in my mouth every time I realize that a guy named Cuomo is the best choice we have.

bfstevie August 26, 2010 at 4:56 pm

I also throw up a little in my mouth whenever I think of Bill Kristol.

I read this at Media Matters or something. Limbnuts, et.al. are passing along the rumor that an engine from the jets hit Area 51Park. That makes it part of Ground Zero.

And I thought the planes just vaporized. Or did I miss the footage of the engines flying 3 blocks. Disclaimer: This is snark. I am NOT a 911 Truther. But I wouldn’t put it past Chachaney.

[re=646653]Radiotherapy[/re]: Apparently an engine from one of the jets hit Kentucky also, and now there’s no room for parking.

[re=646653]Radiotherapy[/re]: It was a landing gear assembly, that I read about. Sad but true.

“Because of all the lynchings, we’re recommending that the blacks just pack up and build their churches in another town”

or perhaps more aptly for Paterson
“Because of all the blind people being hit by cars, we’re just recommending you stay inside all day”

Chase: Fifty bucks. In Philadelphia, it was worth fifty bucks. Bo Diddley knows watches.

spudgun August 26, 2010 at 6:01 pm

[re=646613]chaste everywhere[/re]: No way! But then, I’m an old, so I remember that movie:

“In Philadelphia it’s worth fitty bucks.”

(poor dead Bo Diddley…)

spudgun August 26, 2010 at 6:02 pm

[re=646724]Miss Kublik[/re]: Dammit, you beat me to it! :)

Miss Kublik August 26, 2010 at 6:03 pm

[re=646726]spudgun[/re]: Ah, yes. And did Bo steal that scene from Aykroyd or what?!

spudgun August 26, 2010 at 6:14 pm

[re=646733]Miss Kublik[/re]: You got that right!

weejee August 26, 2010 at 6:30 pm

[re=646637]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: Would they would both cruise Congress Heights in DC in open-topped stretch limos.

edgydrifter August 26, 2010 at 6:32 pm

[re=646648]bfstevie[/re]: I try to throw up in someone else’s mouth whenever I think of Bill Kristol. Preferably Bill Kristol’s. Speaking of which…

finallyhappy August 26, 2010 at 8:21 pm

[re=646710]Mad Brahms[/re]: A true fact. At an exhibit at the Renwick of art done by Japanese in the internment camps(this year)- someone wrote in the book for comments at the end of the exhibition – “they had to be put in camps for their own protection because of Pearl Harbor”.

Shrimp is elitist.
