How very shocking of him to say so. I mean, the term RAAAAAAACIST!!!!! isn’t being used every time someone criticizes Obama or anything. Now, why exactly are the senior citizens and military veterans of western Pennsylvania RAAAAAAACISTS!!!! according to Murtha, Marine-slanderer extraordinaire? Because they took too long to like Obama! DUH!

Mr. Murtha said it has taken time for the state’s voters embrace a black presidential candidate.

“There’s no question Western Pennsylvania is a racist area,” said Mr. Murtha, whose district stretches from Johnstown to Washington County. “The older population is more hesitant.”

Mr. Murtha said groups he deals with regularly, such as military veterans and senior citizens, have come around to supporting Mr. Obama in the past three months. He credited Mr. Obama with being the most organized candidate he has ever seen.

Most organized candidate EVAH?! Uh, that’s not what I’ve heard, buddy.

Now, just imagine what four years under President Barack Obama will be like. Disagree with Dear Leader Obama? RAAAAAACIST! Don’t like one of his policies? RAAAAAACIST! Think that Obama’s brand of socialism is not the best way to run the country? RAAAAACIST!

Oh, wait… aren’t those his constituents he’s calling racist? Here’s hoping they’re listening.

So we’re hearing:

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il may be gravely ill, perhaps the victim of a stroke, U.S. and other Western officials said Tuesday after he failed to appear for a major national parade. If so, it could jeopardize the already troubled international effort to get his nation to abandon nuclear weapons.

Kim’s absence from a military parade for the country’s 60th anniversary lent credence to reports that the man North Koreans call the “Dear Leader” had been incapacitated during the past few weeks.

The 66-year-old Kim, who has been rumored to be in varying degrees of ill health for years, has not been seen since mid-August. Though he appears rarely in public and his voice is seldom broadcast, Kim has shown up for previous landmark celebrations.

“There is reason to believe Kim Jong Il has suffered a serious health setback, possibly a stroke,” one Western intelligence official said. A senior U.S. official said fresh rumors had been circulating about Kim’s health and his control over North Korea’s highly centralized government.

A former CIA official with recent access to intelligence on North Korea said that even before Tuesday the agency was confident that reports of a health crisis were accurate.

The officials spoke anonymously to summarize sensitive intelligence.

It’s still too early to know if this is accurate. But if it is, I honestly don’t know how to feel about it.

Thoughts?

Get the tissue box out before you watch this video. I needed it.

Never forget.

From Last Comic Standing:

How many of you are gonna vote for Obama? (crowd cheers enthusiastically) How about the fact that he doesn’t have much experience, does that bother you? (crowd cheers less enthusiastically) OK, how about this? I’m a pilot. I’ve had two lessons. Wanna go flying??
— Jon Lovitz

This aired like, thirty seconds ago and I laughed so hard I had to post it. When video comes up, I’ll post it.

Here’s some real classiness from the classiest of liberal blogs, the Huffington Post (emphasis mine):

When John McCain says government is too big, what do these people think he means?

Who are we kidding?

John McCain was in the navy and then he was in the U.S. Senate. He has never cashed a check a bureaucrat didn’t write. I’m not trying to be glib, and I realize he was doing a solemn and dangerous job, killing people from the sky. But it was still government work.

Wait, except for those years as a POW. A sick but undeniable fact about John McCain: The only period in his life when he wasn’t living off the American taxpayer, he was living off the Vietnamese taxpayer.

John McCain’s father was in the navy and his father was in the navy. The last McCain who didn’t live in government housing owned a plantation in Mississippi when the state still had slaves.

Which is why John McCain always sounds so emotional when he gets to this line in his stump speech:

“I am absolutely committed to reducing the size of government.”

What he’s promising is eventually he’ll die.

–

Oh, by the way, John Glenn’s fine.

So, basically, all in one post this idiot is: smearing and devaluing John McCain’s service as a pilot as “killing people from the sky”; insulting John McCain’s heroic service as a POW, who turned down the opportunity to get released as the son of an admiral, choosing to stay and be tortured for five years, as mooching off the Vietnamese taxpayers as if it was some kind of luxury vacation; smearing McCain and his family as racists who once owned slaves (Is this even true? I guess because’s he’s white, this smear is OK, because then it must be true, because all white American’s ancestors owned slaves, right?) and likewise smearing his family’s military service as mooching off of the government; and then finally, making jokes about McCain dying.

Real classy.

If any conservative said anything even remotely similar to this about the Obamamessiah, they’d be tarred and feathered by the mainstream media. Really, that’s irrelevant. This piece is disgusting filth. If I ran the Huffington Post, the idiot who wrote that would be fired on the spot. (Yes, there is such thing as freedom of speech. But that doesn’t mean everyone else has to agree with your freedom of speech, and as a privately owned blog, Arianna Huffington can censor as much as she wants on the HuffPo, just like I can censor whatever I want on my blog.)

Anyways, I find it especially rich that a lefty is complaining about someone living off of the government. Even if that is what they consider military service to be, living off of the government (a stupid concept if I’ve ever heard one), why would that bother them? Isn’t that the ultimate liberal goal, to get everyone completely dependent on the government?

Finally, to really show just how depraved not only the author of this post is, but also the entire Huffington Post, be sure to check out the response to this piece. I didn’t read all of the comments, but I didn’t see one that decried this smearing of McCain. It’s interesting that they aren’t willing to attack McCain on policy differences or on the issues. They have to resort to crap like this, usually because they have no other platform to stand on. I may not agree with everything that McCain stands for, but at least the American people know what he stands for, something that they can’t usually say about the Obamamessiah.

This kind of filth is what the left stands for. It’s not particularly the kind of filth I want representing my country.

Prominent British anti-gun activist Pat Regan was found dead in her home, having been stabbed to death, allegedly by her grandson. This is just such a tragedy… why, if only she’d had some way of defending herself!!

The grandson of prominent anti-gun campaigner Pat Regan has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing her to death.

Mrs Regan, 53, was discovered at the property on Marlborough Grange in the Hyde Park area of Leeds on Sunday.

The mother-of-six started campaigning against gun crime when her son Danny was shot dead in 2002.

…

Mrs Regan set up a Leeds branch of Mothers Against Guns after her son Danny, 25, was shot at his home in Haydock, near St Helens, Merseyside in December 2002. His killer has not been found.

She had met government officials to discuss how to tackle the problems of guns and gang-related crime.

I thought that crime would disappear if guns were outlawed, though! Well, I guess this just goes to show us that what we really need to do is outlaw ALL weapons. Here’s a list to start us off:

Now that my eyes have been opened, thanks to the callous treatment of my emotions and my body by John Hawkins, I’ve been carefully thinking about who I want to endorse for President. It couldn’t possibly be some warmonger Republican like John McCain, who just loves to bask in his own masculinity.

No… I think the best person for President is Hillary Clinton. She’s had so much experience! And you know, she really understands women’s issues, the most important thing to me now. I know that with Hillary in the White House, I’ll be free to fornicate to my heart’s desire without ever having to worry about dealing with the repercussions, thanks to the wonder of abortion.

Not only do I want Hillary to be the next President, I want her to be my next partner. As I’ve decided to be a lesbian now, I think that Hillary is just the perfect women. The smooth, baritone flow of her voice, her perfectly coifed hair, the way her pantsuits flow just right over her round bum… who wouldn’t want Hillary? I know I do. She just oozes sensuality. And when she laughs, that gentle, beautiful laugh, I can feel the sun come out.

So, I am now officially endorsing Hillary Clinton for the next President of the United States. Hopefully, one day I can stand by her side as First Lady, instead of that horndog Bill.

As many of you know, John Hawkins from Right Wing News is the person that I have considered my mentor. He got me into blogging; he gave me advice on how to get started; and he linked me constantly. He also helped me to become stronger in my conservative beliefs. See, when I first started writing about politics, I considered myself to be merely a moderate Republican. John’s influence helped me to make my way down the path to full-fledged conservatism.

I’ve defended men constantly on my blog from feminists.

Little did I know, they were right. So right.

There’s been more to the story about me and John. Many people have guessed, but now, I just can’t hold this in anymore. I have to tell the truth.

John and I were exchanging sex for links. Yes, I slept with him in order to get my blog linked more. See, I thought he really liked me. I thought that he just wanted to help me out, that he really cared about me! The sex was so-so, but I got my links and my dreams were coming true. However, he didn’t fulfill his side of the bargain — he promised me that within a year, he could make me as big as Michelle Malkin, which obviously has’t happened, and now, I just feel so dirty!

Well, I’m not taking it anymore! I am a woman, and I deserve better. John can find some other noobie unsuspecting blogger to get his punani from.

As for me, my eyes have been opened. I’ve been wrong, so wrong, and about everything. Men are just horndogs who are looking to keep women down. How could I ever have defended such foul creatures? And conservatism?! What was I thinking? I feel so awful, having been brainwashed by a man who was so insecure in his own self that he had to take advantage of a young, naive blogger and use sex to keep her down and fully entrenched in his masculine, conservative orthodoxy. Republican men don’t care about women. They just want to keep us in our place.

That’s why I simply cannot let myself do this anymore. I have to be true to what I know is right. And I just cannot be with another man ever again. From now on, I am 100% a lesbian. And conservative Republicans?! They don’t care about women. All they care about is lining their pockets with blood money from oil. If I hadn’t been so stupid all this time, I would’ve known that liberals really know how the world works. They’ve seen Republicans for what they are all this time, and I just didn’t get it. I didn’t understand.

Well, now my eyes have been opened. And from now on, this blog will be dedicated to fighting conservatism and the horrible patriarchal establishment tooth and nail.

Maybe one day, this will make up for all the harm I’ve done in the past.

Blackfive asked bloggers to send in videos for a Christmas tribute for our troops overseas to say thank you. Here is the end result:

I do not have a digital camcorder, and therefore could not send in a video. However, I would still like to say a huge THANK YOU to the men and women serving overseas right now. There are not words for what your sacrifice means to us and how proud we are of all of you. I hope you have a wonderful, safe Christmas, happy holidays, and a great New Year. Come home safe — you’ll be in our thoughts and prayers.

What would you say is the most important threat to homeland security facing our nation today? Al Qaeda? Maybe China or Russia? Iran?

Dover, New Jersey has found the real threat, one we should be focusing all of our attention on: gumballs.

Three Dover officials say they’ve found a serious homeland security threat to chew on: gumballs.

They worry the colorful round treats could be poisoned by an enterprising terrorist who sees them as bait for unsuspecting targets — young kids.

So, with the approval of the mayor and the skepticism of the police chief in this central Morris County town of 18,000, the three aldermen are in the middle of a nine-month inspection of Dover’s coin-operated gumball and candy machines. Thus far, they have surveyed 103 local businesses about their machines.

Led by Alderman Frank Poolas, who envisioned the project and enlisted the aid of fellow Aldermen Jack Delaney and Michael Picciallo, the trio began their investigation six months ago and plan to report their results to Mayor James Dodd Jan. 1.

Already they say they’ve discovered more than 100 unlicensed coin-operated machines in town — many filled with gumballs, jawbreakers and other candies they call perfect for potential terrorists.

However, Police Chief Harold “Butch” Valentine said the police department has no reason to believe terrorists are even contemplating contaminating candy.

“We’ve never received any information to the contrary. The gumballs are safe,” he said.

The odds are remote that candy machines would be targeted by terrorists, he added. “You’d probably win the lottery first,” Valentine said.

Thomas Zellman, director of the Morris County Department of Law and Public Safety, agreed that gumball machines are “certainly not” a threat to homeland security.

While sticky local issues such as overcrowded housing, taxi ordinances and redevelopment projects have dominated past elections in Dover, Poolas called gumball machine inspections a “high priority.”

So let’s see… there have been no suspicious looking gumball machines, no complaints of machines seeming to have been tampered with, yet these asshats see them as as a target for terrorism?!

Forget ferries and 747s. Imagine the havoc and terror Al Qaeda could wreak if they got a hold of… gumball machines!!!!

Therefore, Poolas thinks that we must make sure that each and every single gumball machine is licensed. And it isn’t about squeezing out a few extra tax dollars, no sirree — this is for the children.
