Occupy Madison Masturbating in Public?

And losing their permits because if it.  Just.....  wow.

Yeah, why isn't that on the nightly news?

And I love this comment:

'Public Masturbation'....that's a very apt summary of the whole #OccupyWallStreet phenomenon right there 

Can we spread this idea around?

After nearly three weeks of protests and overnight stays in Kanawha Plaza, the Richmond Tea Party is about to send Jones a bill for about $8,000 on the basis that “Occupy Richmond” has been using the area illegally and for free.
Richmond Tea Party spokeswoman Colleen Owens told CBS Washington that the protesters have been given special treatment and free reign of the park and have not had to comply with the strict liability and security provisions that the city required of a Tea Party Tax Day in 2009.

How many Tea Party rallies had to go through the permit process, and spend thousands of dollars to jump through all the legal hoops?  Lots, I'm willing to bet.  Any if those cities who charged the Tea Party for their rallies are letting the Flea Party sit around and stink up the joint for free, that's discrimination.  Either those cities pay up, or get sued.

Friggin' Brilliant.

Why, that's CRAZY talk!

Watch Does U.S. Economic Inequality Have a Good Side? on PBS. See more from PBS NewsHour.

I'm certain someone at PBS is finding a way to disavow this video as we speak.

You can tell the difference between a liberal and conservative by the following test:  A liberal believes that changes in taxes have very little effect on production, but huge effects favorable on distribution. Folks like myself believe it's exactly the opposite. Very high tax rates or even small changes in taxes have very adverse effects on production, and they do very little to produce redistribution because the money gets dissipated and taken away through the political process in ways that the most ardent supporters of redistribution will not like.

It really is that simple

Oh. Maw. Gawd.

Satire:  Dead as a doornail.

The Occupy Wall Street volunteer kitchen staff launched a “counter” revolution yesterday -- because they’re angry about working 18-hour days to provide food for “professional homeless” people and ex-cons masquerading as protesters.

For three days beginning tomorrow, the cooks will serve only brown rice and other spartan grub instead of the usual menu of organic chicken and vegetables, spaghetti bolognese, and roasted beet and sheep’s-milk-cheese salad.

They will also provide directions to local soup kitchens for the vagrants, criminals and other freeloaders who have been descending on Zuccotti Park in increasing numbers every day.

Gosh, it's almost like these people don't like it when people who don't produce anything and don't contribute anything show up and take the fruits of your labor for themselves without compensating you in any way, shape or form!

What a fucking shock.  And these brain dead fucking morons still don't get it.  Hey Flea Party!  YOU ARE THE FREELOADERS!  The way you feel about those vagrants is the way I feel about you!

And seriously - by your very own brainless, moronic chants and slogans, those vagrants and homeless are MORALLY SUPERIOR TO YOU.  They have every right to take what you have, because that is what you've been demanding for the past month!  They are following your chants and your mantras to the fucking letter, and you're bitching about it?  Really?  THEY ARE DOING WHAT YOU DEMAND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY DO IN MACRO FORM!

As an aside - organic chicken?  Dude, I can't afford organic chicken.  Don't sit there and whine about how life is so unfair when you're eating organic chicken and my family is shopping the freezerburn frozen bin finding the cheapest cuts of meat that we can cook.  No, seriously, fuck you and your organic chicken.  Roasted beet and sheeps-milk cheese?  I CAN'T AFFORD SHEEPS MILK CHEESE!  Whiny fucking snot-nosed trust-fund baby bitches!  Go fuck yourself and your protests, you worthless pieces of shit!  Over-pampered, egotistical, entitlement-minded fucking PUKES!

Tuned out

I can't even listen to Obama the Socialist Savior anymore.  When I hear him on TV at work, I either change the channel or just walk out.  I'll read his lies later when I can download a transcript.

You do know that any speech he gives is a lie, right?  Period.  He has proven himself to be a pathological liar.  If he says that X is true, the I automatically assume that the opposite of X is true.  And so far, I haven't been wrong yet.

I don't think they meant to say it

But they said, it, and it's said:

At a million-dollar San Francisco fundraiser today, President Obama warned his recession-battered supporters that if he loses the 2012 election it could herald a new, painful era of self-reliance in America.

 Because self-reliance and individuality cannot be allowed in the communist utopia that Obama wants.  Just think about that one statement - the Democrats are afraid of being self-reliant.  They don't want people to be self-reliant.  They want people to be dependent on the government.  Because self-reliant people make horrible slaves.  And the Democrats want nothing more than to be the slave masters in the formerly great country that they've turned into their personal fiefdom.  Every time they open their mouths, they expose who they are.

Yeah, I figured....

Why did talks with Iraq fall apart?  Because Obama ignored them.  Must be more of that "smart diplomacy" we've heard about.

Let me ask a question I've asked before - if there were two Obamas, and one of them was working as hard as he could to destroy America from the inside out, and one of them was just an incompetent buffoon, how would you be able to tell them apart?

That's the point we're at right now.  I honestly believe that Obama is trying to destroy America from the inside out.  And if you can prove me wrong, please do so.  But I'm willing to bet that you can't.

Want to know why people like Herman Cain?

Because he's not a politician, that's why.

Every other person out there who wants the job is a politician, looking to grab that brass ring that would signify that they've put in their years in the grinder, compromising their morals, their ethics, lying, cheating, and generally being a bunch of amoral pricks.  Herman Cain is the only guy running who seems to be running because he sees that things are broken and he actually wants to fix it.

Now, is there some ego involved here?  Hell yes.  You don't run for President if you don't have at least a little ego.  But compared to Mitt "I'll say anything to get elected" Romney, and Rick Perry, who if I recall wasn't well loved by Dick, before he parked his blog.....  who else has a chance?

Herman Cain.  Hell, I'd take a Cain/Perry ticket in a heartbeat.

To ride, or not to ride

When there's that much rain in the forecast, I'll take the truck.  The last thing I need is one of these tailgating, cell-phone-yammering fucknuts to slam on the brakes and slide into me at 50 mph because he never fucking realized that wet pavement means increase your following distance.

Social Contract

This little tidbit from Ace of Spades HQ has been making the rounds:

“The social contract exists so that everyone doesn’t have to squat in the dust holding a spear to protect his woman and his meat all day every day. It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them.”

Those two sentences contain more wisdom than the entire Flea Party from every city combined.  I'd like to add one more sentence - when the social contract begins to infringe on me more than necessary, I have the right to tear that social contract into small pieces and flush it down the toilet.

A social contract is not slavery, and when it turns into slavery, it's time is done.

Adoro te Devote



I can't say I'm in a much better frame of mind than last week, but I'm trying to improve it.  Here's the literal translation for the Latin; there are plenty of poetic translations, but as I sing it in Latin, I prefer the literal.

I devoutly adore you, O hidden Deity,

Truly hidden beneath these appearances.

My whole heart submits to you,

And in contemplating you,

It surrenders itself completely.

Sight, touch, taste are all deceived

In their judgment of you,

But hearing suffices firmly to believe.

I believe all that the Son of God has spoken;

There is nothing truer than this word of truth.

On the cross only the divinity was hidden,

But here the humanity is also hidden.

I believe and confess both,

And ask for what the repentant thief asked.

I do not see the wounds as Thomas did,

But I confess that you are my God.

Make me believe more and more in you,

Hope in you, and love you.

O memorial of our Lord's death!

Living bread that gives life to man,

Grant my soul to live on you,

And always to savor your sweetness.

Lord Jesus, Good Pelican,

wash me clean with your blood,

One drop of which can free

the entire world of all its sins.

Jesus, whom now I see hidden,

I ask you to fulfill what I so desire:

That the sight of your face being unveiled

I may have the happiness of seeing your glory. Amen
