Pelosi Doubles Down on Stupid
Pelosi: Today We Pray To St. Joseph The Worker For This “Life-Affirming Legislation”
Here’s the thing: MaDamn Pelosi 1) is praying to a saint, which I find rich in irony in and of itself, and 2) she is praying to the wrong saint. Today is the Feast of St. Joseph, the husband of Mary, who begat the Son of God, Jesus. Pelosi is praying to St. Joseph the Worker, whose feast day is May 1st. WTF kind of Catholic is this dumbass??
And it is patently obvious that MaDamn Pelosi doesn’t recall that no saints in our denomination support any form of abortion. Gawd, she gives humans a bad name.
Aggie Translates the News
Trolling around the interwebtubethingy this morning, I found several stories that would benefit from the Aggie Translation Service. First up we had Prez Obama on a so-called diplomatic mission:
Obama to Meet With Netanyahu Next Week Amid Tension Over Settlements
Aggie Translation:
Obama: You gotta stop this, dude.
Netenyahu: Fuck off, weenie.
Next up, we have demigod Joe Arpaio conducting an immigration sweep:
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona has launched a two-day, countywide crime and immigration sweep that authorities say will focus on drop houses, drug violators and human smuggling vehicles.Four hundred deputies and volunteer posse members are taking part in the patrols. The sweep, which began Thursday, is Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s 14th since early 2008.
Aggie Translation:
Sec. Napolitano: You gotta stop this, dude, right now!!
Sheriff Joe: Fuck off, weenie. I’m a demigod.
Then we have Putin spitting on our esteemed Secretary of State:
Vladimir Putin, Russia’s prime minister, promised on Thursday that Moscow would help Iran complete a civil nuclear power station by this summer, drawing criticism from Hillary Clinton, US secretary of state.
His remarks highlighted the continuing differences between the two powers over how to contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Mrs Clinton was visiting Moscow on a trip partly designed to increase the pressure on Tehran by showing America’s unity with Russia.
Aggie Translation:
Sec. Clinton: You gotta stop this, dude! We are supposed to be comrades.
Putin: Fuck off, weenie. I have a chance to make my country the only superpower on this rock, and I’m taking it.
Lastly, we have Vice Prez Biden inserting a shoe store in his maw:
“I’m telling you, you know, pre-existing [conditions], they’re going to be covered. You know we’re going to control the insurance companies,” the vice president said. “You know people aren’t going to lose their health care with their employer like is being advertised.”
Biden said once these provisions take effect and the American people feel the impact, lawmakers who vote “yes” will reap the benefits.
Aggie Translation:
Prez Obama: Biden, will you just STFU??
VP Biden: Fuck off, weenie. I have one lousy job in this administration. It’s stupid, but I’m going to do it!*
I hope that my translation services were adequate. Sometimes it’s hard to decipher what the newsmakers put out.

AoSHQ is all over Obamacare
Ace and his cohorts are all over Obamacare this week. If you aren’t over there every day, you really should be.
Links:
CBO Health Care Numbers Are In And Democrats Are Pleased
Bumped and Updated
“The Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that there is currently no official cost estimate. Yet House Democrats are touting to the press – and spinning for partisan gain – numbers that have not been released and are impossible to confirm.
Nomentum: Michael Arcuri (D-NY) Flips from Yes to No
Fox Poll: Opposition to ObamaCare Hits 55%; Sixty Five Percent Say “Do Nothing” or “Start Over”
Senator Coburn: I’ve Got News For You: If You Sell Your Vote for Earmarks or a Federal Posting, I’m Going to Block It in the Senate As Bribery
Democrats Band Together To Approve of Slaughter House Rule, 222-203
Rumors: Two House Democrats Already Promised Administration Positions?
Maybe Tom “Don’t Screw With This” Coburn had some specific folks in mind when he said House Democrats who walk the plank for ObamaCare shouldn’t expect cushy landings in the Executive Branch.
Also, keep and eye on Gabriel Malor’s posts over there, he’s their resident legal geek and has really been on top of the count of who’s voting how.
Where are we going ?
… and why are we in this handbasket ?
Drop the Weapon! Drop the Weapon! *BANG*
From Gothamist:
Just how little tolerance is zero tolerance? A Staten Island fourth-grader was reprimanded and almost suspended yesterday when the principal spotted him playing with a LEGO policeman and a two-inch-long toy gun during lunch, the Advance reports.
Under the city’s no-tolerance policy regarding guns in schools, PS 52 Principal Evelyn Matroianni brought 9-year-old Patrick Timoney to her office and called his mother to say the boy might be suspended for carrying the miniature toy gun to school, pending the approval of the Department of Education’s security administrator. When contacted, the administrator reportedly said the toy should be confiscated and returned to the boy’s parents, however no other punishment would be necessary.
How much would you pay for this kinda crazy ? Wait, don’t answer yet, there’s more …
From the NYDailyNews:
A Michigan kindergartener’s make-believe gun – which he created with just his fingers – got him suspended, the Grand Rapids Press reported.
Mason Jammer, 6, who attends Ionia’s Jefferson Elementary School, pointed his finger-gun at a fellow student Wednesday and got kicked out of school till Friday.
School officials said they had given Mason numerous warnings over several months, and his gun play created discomfort for other kids.
Now how much would you pay ? If you order this insanity in the next 5 minutes we’ll throw in this beautiful piece of shit:
a bill introduced in the New York Legislature that, if passed, would ban the use of salt in restaurant cooking.
“No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food for consumption by customers of such restaurant, including food prepared to be consumed on the premises of such restaurant or off of such premises,” the bill, A. 10129 , states in part.
Sometimes its hard to even joke about this shit.
Doomed to Repeat It
Check out this cartoon, and pay close attention to the “plan” detailed on the left lower corner:
This is a cartoon first published in 1934 in the Chicago Tribune. For some reason, the term “prophecy” popped into my head.
What the fuck ?
From the Speaker’s own website:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered a speech this morning at the 2010 Legislative Conference for the National Association of Counties (NACo). This year marks the 75th anniversary of the organization. Below are the Speaker’s remarks:
But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.
Seriously .. what. the. fuck. ? I’ve never been much for insightful commentary but this just leaves me speechless … there really are no words. (aside from ‘what the fuck’).
Census
From Mark Krikorian at The Corner via Gabriel Malor at AoSHQ:
Fully one-quarter of the space on this year’s form is taken up with questions of race and ethnicity, which are clearly illegitimate and none of the government’s business (despite the New York Times’ assurances to the contrary on today’s editorial page). So until we succeed in building the needed wall of separation between race and state, I have a proposal. Question 9 on the census form asks “What is Person 1’s race?” (and so on, for other members of the household).
Apparently, “None of your fucking business.” is not an option. Mark, however has a proposal:
we should answer Question 9 by checking the last option — “Some other race” — and writing in “American.”
Poll Dancing
Scouring the interwebtubethingy for news, I came across a poll over at the Washington Times:
A majority of Americans say the United States is less respected in the world than it was two years ago and think President Obama and other Democrats fall short of Republicans on the issue of national security, a new poll finds.
The Democracy Corps-Third Way survey released Monday finds that by a 10-point margin — 51 percent to 41 percent — Americans think the standing of the U.S. dropped during the first 13 months of Mr. Obama’s presidency.
The really interesting part about this poll is that it was conducted by Democracy Corps(e) and Third Way. Democracy Corps(e) was founded by none other than James Carville, former Bill Clinton adviser, and Stanley Greenberg, Democratic pollster. Third Way bills itself as “the leading moderate think-tank of the progressive movement.” So, not exactly non-partisan.
The Democrats’ gap on national security has widened on several other fronts:
“Keeping America safe”: Democrats now trail by 13 points (34 percent to 47 percent.) The gap was just 5 points in July 2008.
“Ensuring a strong military”: Democrats trail by 31 points (27 percent to 58 percent.)
“Making America safer from nuclear threats”: Democrats trail by 11 points (34 percent to 45 percent,) “despite the president’s strong actions and speeches on steps to reduce nuclear dangers,” the pollsters said.
And yet, the pollsters think this is surprising, because Prez Obama has had wonderful accolades the world over, not to mention he was awarded the Nobel Piss Prize. Here’s a newsflash: Obama gets accolades for eroding our standing in the world, and he gets them from politicians. Remember the words of the head of the Nobel Piss Prize committee:
“He got the prize for what he has done.”
Nevermind that nominations for the prize had to be postmarked by February 1, only 12 days after Prez Obama took office. And let’s not forget how Irena Sendler was passed over, either, first in favor of The Goron and the IPCC, and then Prez Obama and his Twelve Days of Teh Glories.
Fuck ‘em with the epic fuckfist of FAIL.
Doppelgangers
Being a mom to young children, I frequently become a hostage to kid-friendly TV. Last night was no exception. As I was busy making a bracelet (pics to come later ), my youngest took over the TV, and decided her life on Sunday would not be complete until she watched “iCarly” on Nickelodeon. Normally I tune it out, but last night was different. I was mesmerized by one of the secondary characters:
His name is Gibby. Yes, you read that correctly. And it brought to mind just how much he looks like this Gibby:
Tell me I’m wrong.
Random Stuff in the Intertubewebthingy
Random crap. Sometimes there’s just not enough shit to fret over, so I gather it in one place. First off, Greece. That poor bastard of the Mediterranean is really hurting:
In Athens, about 200 members of the PAME union group, aligned with the Communist Party of Greece, occupied the six- story ministry building today while protesters took over the nearby General Accounting Office, according to a police spokeswoman. Another group blocked a central road in downtown Athens, snarling traffic.
And the Germans think Greece should sell off their islands to avoid bankruptcy. I want one. But only if it comes with running water. And a temple. Portuguese workers also held the government for ransom by holding a 24 hour strike to protest wage freezes, but no one cares.
Did someone mention Iraq? According to the media, and Prez Obama, that would be a “No”. Iraq must be like a blank spot in their collective mental maps. Not hard to figure.
In Philadelphia, Mayor Nutter *snicker* wants to impose a sugar tax on all sweet beverages, including chocolate milk. They call it the Healthy Philadelphia Initiative. Their goal is to raise revenue and to reduce child obesity. As usual, the liberals have yet to figure out how they will raise revenue from this tax if the goal is to keep people from drinking sugared drinks. I think the head Nutter forgets people can leave Philly and shop elsewhere.
And lastly, I could not help myself: (more…)
