That one's for you, Coyote! Telling me the bitch hunts from a helicopter!!
You gotta love the skill, you know? When freakshows like Nugent do his thing, at least he hunts with a bow and arrow and he uses every single bit of the carcass. He respects the spirit of the animal and the survival of the species. Sometimes the deer population gets too large and they starve. So we hunt them. That's the way of the world. That's Darwin.
What we don't do is hide like a little bitch with heavy artillery an impossible distance away and waste intelligent life for no reason.
But then the Fundies have never been big on animal life anyway, so fuck it. To her it's just like playing Halo except with a really cold breeze.
Wanna know what I think what she REALLY wants to be shooting -- maybe what she pretends to shoot while slaughtering fuckin' LIVING TEDDY BEARS??
Pagans who won't be converted.
Vice Presidential Candidate. The Zombie Uprising has begun in full now. I think the fit has hit the shan.
You may not have read the threads on the earlier posts. They were getting pretty ugly, and while I'm totally curious about the story of Palin's kid, whether it's her daughter's child or not, I was getting uncomfortable with the direction the inquiry was heading, and I don't believe Steve wants TLC to devolve into a cesspool of rumor, innuendo, and misogyny. That will not be effective against McCain/Palin anyhow, and gives fodder to the puma-types and the pearl-clutchers alike. Though, to be truthful, it might make a really really effective whisper campaign.
Erin's just saying what good is having an audio of Palin laughing when her hosts call her rival a bitch, if we're calling our rival a bitch (relatively speaking). The ugliness in the comments neutralizes a good argument that could have legs.
There's lots to bust her on, too. I think in two nice, simple panels, MV has given an example of how she can be attacked without pissing off women who might see her as a sympathetic character.
Make sense, or does it sound as fucked up as I am right now?
Not preachy at all coyote, just peachy. Ok, that was corny.
What is Id mad as hell about? We aren't allowed to laugh at Palin's voice? It's irritating to me as well, but that's just me.
Yes, plenty to attack her on, lets be sure Obama plans to attack her on still being under investigation. And as Barbara Boxer says, "...someone with not one hour’s worth of experience on national issues...".
There's really no reason to even bother with her gender other than to note, as Barbara Boxer did, that there were plenty of other ACTUALLY QUALIFIED women McCain could have picked. And pointing out that he obviously only picked her for two reasons. 1) She's a sop to the fundies. 2) She's a oman who's a sop to the fundies.
Calling her a bitch is really not cool. And definitely counterproductive.
The questions about her baby are interesting and relevant however and can be persued without any sexist bent imo. I haven't seen a single photo of her where she looks pregnant. I think this may have some legs.
Odd. On TLC, I noticed Fight4theRight was back - I'd been curious the last time I saw it it. I checked the IP, the same exact one as our Judith. How is that possible? Someone else using her computer?
I wondered about that, or that someone in her house is sneaking in and posting while she's not looking. It's happened before, too, so it's not a fluke.
Since I'm the computer guy at work (by default, since I'm the only one who could successfully turn a computer on 9/10 times), I could do that easily. I wish I could set up a program that splashes cold water on one of my co-workers who always has to have the newest smileys for her IM, which she's on all day!
For snark - did you see this pic of Palin's daughter? Either shes an avid beer drinker, or she's got a "bump," and baby boobs. Just the way the older daughter is sidelined in the pic suggests she's a pariah to the family. And I'm not against the story per se, but the way p-dip always overdoes the nastiness, it was getting bad over at TLC, not the way to go about investigating.
It was funny, after my high-falutin' post yesterday, my best friend called to gossip about the baby story on dkos. She's convinced it should be out there, but we agreed it shouldn't touch obama's team at all. It'd make a good whisper campaign, especially since she's one o' them abstinence people.
There's a Daily Show clip over at Hullabaloo that has all the Palin criticisms in one skit, (minus the baby controversy, of course) even the voice thing, which seems to affect just about all the men on the blogs. I can kinda see it, but it wouldn't have been something that moved me to comment on it. Interesting. Anyhow, I'd link to it, but the page is freezing up my browser. Maybe too many people are watching it. It should be on the Daily Show site, too, if you want to see it.
Well, there are reports that McCain's team only just sent investigators to Alaska to check into the Troopergate thing. Or going to spread some hush money around, more like. Unless the dems find some hard evidence, they're not going to touch the story. They might go after the fact that if her water broke in TX, as she's saying, she recklessly endangered the life of her child by getting on a plane and flying across the country to have the kid. Everyone knows, as she must having had 5 kids, that once the water breaks the danger of infection skyrockets. Especially with a premie. Especially since a woman who'd had 4 kids before is more likely to deliver faster. How does she reconcile those facts with her supposed family values? Again, it makes a good whisper campaign, and if I can get my xtian friend's email list, it could go viral...
Actually, I think I'm more ashamed of the OTHER audience than I am of you.
The ones who liked it better when my comics were light and silly and regarding anecdotes that maybe 3-5 people know. Inside jokes for family and friends. Nah.
Oh yeah, she's preggers, and there's gonna be a shotgun wedding. Better yet, they found her kids' myspace/facebook pages. Drinking and carousing. This gets better each day.
Oh, and the scene I was thinking of was when the young girl asks Mitch if he's going to take her to see his parents and she says "no!" She goes "why? are you ashamed of me?" and he goes "no, them!"
Okay, it was an obscure scene, when Lazlo comes to the restaurant to ask what they think the laser is really for. But I could probably quote that movie in my sleep, I've seen it so many times.
I'm wondering if she makes it to tomorrow, though they're probably weighing the damage it might cause at this moment, I'll bet. Maybe Holy Joe will be announced tonight!
Speaking of the Palin family and the conversations going on at TLC right now, I've decided something.
You know how liberals try to reframe the abortion debate by calling themselves pro-choice and calling the fundies anti-choice?
And how the fundies call themselves pro-life (implying that anyone else is anti-life) but then they get abortions anyway for inconvenient pregnancies for themselves or their families?
I don't think I wanna be "pro-choice" anymore. I think I'm comfortable just being called "pro-death".
Then again, in sending the deluge to the Gulf Coast, God may have merely misunderstood the request of Republicans, who had sought meteorological interference of their own. A group associated with Focus on the Family's James Dobson had posted a video asking people to pray for "rain of biblical proportions" to wash out Democrat Barack Obama's open-air speech in Denver last week.
What do they say in witchcraft? Any evil you cast on someone else comes back at you times three?
Remember the substitute teacher who was fired for being a "sorcerer" because he did a magic trick nobody could figure out?
Why can't we lob the same offense at a guy who encourages people to pray for rain??
What's really hilarious about Palin is that it's become clear that she was chosen by the fundies. This is their pick, a walking-talking example of their own hypocrisy. And they don't even get it. The national news has picked up most of her scandals now, it's just a matter of time before she's jettisoned; which means she'll be eviscerated by her own side for "fooling" McCain, who'll look like a dupe, blinded by Palin's youth and *ahem* charms.
The McCain campaign, acting through the Republican National Committee, has been negotiating with Rep. Ron Paul to win his support and acquire the names of his sympathizers among the 4,607 delegates and alternates at the Republican National Convention, according to a senior aide to the Texas congressman.
As you can imagine, it's not going well.
Mr. Paul has refused to endorse Mr. McCain, and Mr. McCain's operatives have refused to let him address the Republican National Convention.
Seems Dr. Paul isn't willing to let go of his opposition to:
the war in Iraq, which he opposes as needless and self-defeating for the United States.
So what's Dr. Paul gonna do instead?
As a result, Mr. Paul decided to hold a rally of his own Tuesday billed as the "Campaign for Liberty." Initially set to be held at the University of Minnesota's 11,000-seat Williams Arena, it has been moved to the far-larger Target Center in Minneapolis. Mr. Paul said in an interview that he expects to attract up to 18,000 people.
One of my bosses got an email with a great pic of Palin. Her bikini clad next to a pool holding a rifle with a crazed look on her face while two young boys (???) drink, smoke and engage in some gun play in the background.
Yeah, I after I posted it I thought I should check this out. Looked at the image in Photoshop and there were some artifacts and color inconsistancies. A Google image search turned up the original. Must be from when she was campaigning for governor. They mirrored her head.
Sorry.
I saw that street walker pick over the weekend. Probably fake too.
I was thinking the same thing, snark. Just to compare their convention to ours. I doubt I'll be able to listen. Maybe I'll just have the tv on with the sound down.

One love.
There you go! Now, get to work on that next cartoon, and your site! And don't forget the comment section!
Now I'm off to bong a gang, or bang a gong as the case may be! *wink*
Good work!
"Don't ruin the hide, I need that to hang on my wall!"
Brilliant!
Hey, is Erin's post at TLC too preachy?
Too preachy? I can't even tell if Erin's expressing an opinion. All she does is link to YouTube and digby and Atrios via Bumblefuck.
What's the point? That Palin shouldn't have been laughing at the asshole radio guys?
And what's with the title? "How can we say we're better than this if we're not"
I'm completely lost. Help me, Obi Wan Coyote. You're my only hope.

Okay, then can I call her an asshole for shooting polar bears from a helicopter?
Asshole works for me.
Do we have a second?
I second it! Hurting bears isn't cool!
Odd. On TLC, I noticed Fight4theRight was back - I'd been curious the last time I saw it it. I checked the IP, the same exact one as our Judith. How is that possible? Someone else using her computer?
Perhaps Judith has an opinion she wants to express anonymously?
I wondered about that, or that someone in her house is sneaking in and posting while she's not looking. It's happened before, too, so it's not a fluke.
We used to do that at work. If somebody leaves their computer unlocked, do this:
1. Go into their Outlook
2. Send a meeting request to your department (from that person)
3. Meeting Subject: See what I look like in tights.
It kills. Until we got in trouble with the security people.
Since I'm the computer guy at work (by default, since I'm the only one who could successfully turn a computer on 9/10 times), I could do that easily.

The girl in the picture is leaning forward to try to de-emphasize her belly, too.
She could just be a chunky girl, but like coyote said, the body language among the family says it all.
Is it that the GOP didn't vet her, or do they just assume the Dems won't attack about this stuff?
Well, there are reports that McCain's team only just sent investigators to Alaska to check into the Troopergate thing. Or going to spread some hush money around, more like.

OOH, Jeff's surrounded by xtians all day long!! We gotta get hold of some viral emails and send them out.
Good idea!
No 'Fookitall' under "must check daily," MV?
Harumph!
No 'Fookitall' under "must check daily," MV?
No way. I don't want my in-laws coming out here and reading this. Or my own parents for that matter.
Division of worlds and all that.
Oh. You're ashamed of us. Okay.
*sniff*
Actually, I think I'm more ashamed of the OTHER audience than I am of you.
The ones who liked it better when my comics were light and silly and regarding anecdotes that maybe 3-5 people know. Inside jokes for family and friends. Nah.
Heehee. Why did I just have flashbacks of that scene in Real Genius? after they shot the laser?
When the house filled up with popcorn? I dunno.
Did I read this morning that Palin's daughter is pregnant? Or did I dream that?
Oh yeah, she's preggers, and there's gonna be a shotgun wedding. Better yet, they found her kids' myspace/facebook pages. Drinking and carousing. This gets better each day.
Oh, and the scene I was thinking of was when the young girl asks Mitch if he's going to take her to see his parents and she says "no!" She goes "why? are you ashamed of me?" and he goes "no, them!"
Okay, it was an obscure scene, when Lazlo comes to the restaurant to ask what they think the laser is really for. But I could probably quote that movie in my sleep, I've seen it so many times.
Palin's gone before November 4th.
Back to Alaska so she won't be a "distraction for the important work that McCain is trying to do".
I'm wondering if she makes it to tomorrow, though they're probably weighing the damage it might cause at this moment, I'll bet. Maybe Holy Joe will be announced tonight!

I don't think I wanna be "pro-choice" anymore. I think I'm comfortable just being called "pro-death".
Why did I just have flashbacks of that scene in Real Genius?
I thought it was because of the heavy eye-liner Val Kilmer was wearing.
According to the Washington Post:
Then again, in sending the deluge to the Gulf Coast, God may have merely misunderstood the request of Republicans, who had sought meteorological interference of their own. A group associated with Focus on the Family's James Dobson had posted a video asking people to pray for "rain of biblical proportions" to wash out Democrat Barack Obama's open-air speech in Denver last week.

Yeah, if you believe in magic, and the fundies do, they should see Gustav as their own fault, right?
And I'm not pro-death, I'm anti-forced pregnancy. And anti-fundie.
What's really hilarious about Palin is that it's become clear that she was chosen by the fundies. This is their pick, a walking-talking example of their own hypocrisy. And they don't even get it. The national news has picked up most of her scandals now, it's just a matter of time before she's jettisoned; which means she'll be eviscerated by her own side for "fooling" McCain, who'll look like a dupe, blinded by Palin's youth and *ahem* charms.
Songbird's coming after the Paulbots for support.

Suck it, Songbird.
Yeah, I saw that one Friday - it's gonna be a funny election. Go Ron Paul, run against McCain. He's the right's spoiler this time.
One of my bosses got an email with a great pic of Palin. Her bikini clad next to a pool holding a rifle with a crazed look on her face while two young boys (???) drink, smoke and engage in some gun play in the background.
I posted it over at L&L.
What an idiot McCain is.
False alarm. It's a Photoshop job.
Took down the post.
I was just going to say, Sadly No's got the original! I'm looking for the one I found with her in streetwalker clothes, tho. That one looked real.
Yeah, I after I posted it I thought I should check this out. Looked at the image in Photoshop and there were some artifacts and color inconsistancies. A Google image search turned up the original. Must be from when she was campaigning for governor. They mirrored her head.
Sorry.
I saw that street walker pick over the weekend. Probably fake too.
It's a snoozefest around here today.
Slackers.
Hey coyote, question... is headxray and gay vet the same? The trolls keep saying that... I wonder if they can track the addresses as well?
Tonight's lineup:
Laura Bush
George Via Satellite Bush
Fred Thompson
Joe Liebermann
Are you really gonna watch this? I think I'd throw up all over the house.
No, GV and headx are two different guys. Ignore those fookin' trolls. Sorry, busy workday!
I might have to watch just out of a sense of morbid curiosity.
I was thinking the same thing, snark. Just to compare their convention to ours. I doubt I'll be able to listen. Maybe I'll just have the tv on with the sound down.
