Question of the Day
Today is the day that certain media websites are “going dark” to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) under consideration in the Senate. Now, I am not familiar with either bill, but I am familiar with the those who are protesting by going dark:

My question for them is, will you be this vocal when the Fairness Doctrine and Net Neutrality rear their ugly heads again?
Pet Peeves
So Aggie posted a list of things that irritate her.
Here’s mine:
- People spending more than $20 in the drive through.
- Look here, the drive through is for people in a hurry, not for you fuckers that are just too damned lazy to get out of you fucking car and waddle your fat ass into the fucking McDonalds.
- People driving at anything less than the speed limit in the middle lane of the freeway.
- Holy fuck, jackass. You’re not just an irritation, you are a fucking road hazard. You’re a damned danger to yourself and everyone else on the road.
- People that bitch about their low pay.
- You agreed to do the job .. for that amount of money. Your employer did not keep your pay rate a secret from you. Really, kwitcherbichen*. I suppose I might have a bit more sympathy for someone who’s been on the job for a long while and had they’ve seen their workload increase much faster than they’re pay rate. Still, you agree to do the job for the pay offerred every time you show up to work.
- People whose position is greater than their skills.
- Everyone makes mistakes. I get that. But, seriously, if I’m regularly cleaning up after your fuckups then you are worse than useless. You are a Goddamned speed-bump. I would much prefer you just sit there and do nothing.
- People who are unaware of those around them.
- I’m talking about the jackass that comes to a complete stop in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store because something caught their eye while never realizing that there’s three people behind them that also had to stop. I’m talking about the shithead that wants to stand around chatting with the cashier when there’s a dozen fucking people waiting behind them. I’m also talking about the waste of oxygen that takes their overflowing grocery cart to the fucking express lane. I’m not talking about the people that just don’t care about other people. Those folks are just dicks. I’m talking about the ones that are completely unaware that there are other people around them.
- People that use a hands-free bluetooth earplug to talk on the phone and look directly at you while they’re doing it.
- It only makes it worse when they do say something to you in exactly the same tone of voice they’re using on the phone.
- People that think now is the worst things have ever been.
- Yep. The economy is in the shitter and we have a socialist as a President. Things have never been this bad. And they believe this as they drive their $20,000 car, watch the news on their big-screen television in their air-conditioned/heated home. They complain as they look at their full refrigerator that there’s nothing good to eat so they make a call on their cell phone to have someone bring them food. Yeah. Things have never been this bad. I’m honestly not sure how we make it through the day.
- People that cry about the homeless
- Looks to me like that dude made some really poor life choices. But they were his choices.
- People that cry about starving children
- Let me make this clear: There are no starving children in this country. If there are, someone is actually breaking the law. Seriously, you don’t even have to be actually poor for the government, the schools, the church or the community to feed you and your kids.
- Related to the two items above: People that cry about the state of third-world countries
- No amount of money or food will fix those countries. It won’t. Many of those countries are shitholes due to cultural or governmental problems. Which returns us to poor choices. Many generations of poor life choices and it isn’t going to stop because we give them money or food.
- Cats
- No way would I own a pet that holds me in contempt. Although, feeding random strays is usually a good idea. Keeps down the populations of small rodents and bugs. Once you let them in the house though, they lose all humility.
Wow. That really took a turn from a list of pet peeves to a full blown rant.
* kwitcherbichen is not really as German as it looks.

When did Don Draper work at Bain and why didn’t anyone tell me he was running for President?
Your Momma!
We’ve all been guilty of it: trying to out-do someone’s cutdown. Mine tend to be on the more subtle side. Sometimes they are so subtle that it sails past the party’ head, leaving them feeling confused. It just makes me sigh for the wasted moment, but at least they shut up long enough for me to move on.
A few years ago, Hubby, his Twin and a mutual friend were out for beers and pool. The friend went to the restroom when it was Hubby’s turn to break. When he returned, Hubby explained the break, resulting in one of the greatest comebacks ever:
Hubby: I got the small balls.
Friend: That’s what I heard.
Hubby: Damn, your girlfriend does tell you everything!
Friend: ……
Friend: There is no comeback to that….
So, what is the best comeback y’all ever said? What is the best one ever said to you?
And Aggies better not be involved 
Girlie Drink of the Week
I’m a bit strung out from organizing yesterday, so I needed something quick and light to help me doze off into Dreamland. Now, in college we were not allowed to keep BOOZE* in our dorms, but you damn well know kids will hide BOOZE* anyway they can. I never did, but I remember how one friend hid her Amaretto Sour in the juice container. And that got me to the GDOTW!!
AMARETTO SOUR
- 1 ½ ounces Amaretto
- 1 to 2 ounces Sweet and Sour Mix
Pour ingredients in a shaker filled with ice, shake well, and strain into a ice-filled glass. Garnish with cherries and/or orange slices. Personally, the orange makes it a bit too acidic for my taste, so I just place cherries in mine. Believe me, you never feel it until it hits you

Let Them Eat Cake
This is a special guest post by Rebel Mope who writes at Rottie Refugees. He writes a lot of good stuff over there and I highly recommend you go check him out.
Things got quite ugly, yesterday, when a certain Los Angeles paper fish wrap accused some right wing pundits of being… dare I say?… RACISTS!!!11!!… for the posting of this cartoon.
H/T Jim Hoft http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/
I couldn’t much care what the leftists on the west coast have to opine about usually, but this time they stepped in it.
It all began innocently enough with John Nolte at Big Journalism called out the LA Times for projecting their own racism, as Mr. Hoft pointed out.
Christopher Knight writes for the “Culture Monster” a column over at ”The Incredibly Shrinking L.A. Times,” and guess what our progressive friend sees when he looks at this innocuous and obvious political cartoon of First Lady Michelle Obama:
Believe it or not, Mr. Knight sees an “uppity Negro.” Those aren’t my words, those are his:
The caricature of Obama as a profligate queen relies on the racist stereotype of an “uppity Negro[.]“
That is when someone pointed out to Mr. Hoft
Well that is not unlike the L.A. Slimes to use stereotyping, remember this from 2007?
AS EVERY CARBON-BASED life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president. Since making his announcement, there has been no end of commentary about him in all quarters — musing over his charisma and the prospect he offers of being the first African American to be elected to the White House.
But it’s clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination — the “Magic Negro.”
Ace points out:
You know what other stereotype it relies upon? The actual historical memory of Marie Antoinette (whether or not that’s fair) as a profligate queen who thought rules were for the little people, and who lived in high style while saying (I know she didn’t say this) “Let them eat cake.”
And
The left is simply now saying “racist” equals “mean.”
Yes, it is mean. Mean is not racist. Idiots.
At this juncture I could paste in the youtube video of President Obama saying there is to much bickering and name calling, but unfortunately he goes on to trash those that oppose his policies. It’s almost like dissent is not the highest form of patriotism, only different. I don’t think I can stomach it, tho.
Then, it gets good. Today I read this in the Slimes about a forthcoming book:
“We all have watched what happens when people get caricatured,” Mr. Gibbs said.
That, my friends, is why that west coast rag bristled at the caricature of Michelle Obama as Marie Antoinette- it is exactly what the White House wants silenced. The L.A. Times is carrying out the marching orders from the administration. There is no other way to see this. Carrying the water in spite of their
“Statement of Principles” that they ‘borrowed’ from The Chicago Tribune.
“The Tribune places great emphasis on the integrity of government and of the private institutions and individuals who serve and lead society. It acts as a watchdog on government, protecting citizen interests in quarters where citizens themselves might not otherwise be represented. The newspaper does this in the belief that the people cannot consent to be governed unless they have knowledge of, and faith in, the leaders and operations of government. Always, the people are sovereign.”
“The editorial page has four essential roles: to serve as a check on the power of government, to set an agenda for the Chicago region and the nation, to make persuasive arguments for the enactment of that agenda, and to inform and guide its readers so they can make better decisions.“
So I can make a better decision.
Why Sunday Was a Great Day
Yesterday there were two major playoff games: NY Giants versus Atlanta Falcons, and Denver Broncos versus Pittsburg Steelers. I had no dog in those fights. But I will say I was particularly delighted to see Denver win. No….. not because Tim Tebow is a wonderful example of a Christian and a very nice guy. That’s just icing.
That kind of icing has no calories, and it’s so good for you.
No, the reason I was happy, gloriously happy, is due to the fact that after this spewage:
….Bill Maher can’t be reached for comment. He is no longer vacationing in Hawaii, but his twitterings have been silent for a few days. I can’t imagine why, can you?
Of course I could be over-reaching here, and it may just boil down to the fact that Mr. Tebow happened to have dated* this young lady:
That would be enough to drive a 55 year old to boozing and bitching, especially when he is known for dating women whose resumés included porn films and strip clubs, and looked every bit like they did.
