Jane You Ignorant Slut…
Feb 16, 2015 General
Last night was the 40th Anniversary celebration of Saturday Night Live. I recorded the show so I could skip through commercials and bad skits. For the most part I enjoyed the show and the walk down memory lane. I liked the tribute to those who died and the funny line on the long running gag about Generalissimo Francisco Franco still being dead.
The Weekend Update segment included Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Jane Curtin in the anchor chairs. Curtin discusses how much fun she is having and how she likes being back and that she does not want it to end. They show a picture of her from when she was part of the cast and she says she used to be the only cute blonde doing fake news and that now there is a whole network of them. As she claims this the logo for FOX News is displayed.
Curtin missed the irony of her claim in that she was doing a show on the network that employs Brian Williams who is all over the news for telling stories, you know, fake stuff.
Granted, Williams is not a cute blonde but the claim that there is an entire network dedicated to fake news coming from the network with the guy who has been discovered doing it is is beyond belief.
I like Jane Curtin. I always liked her on SNL and I have enjoyed some of her other work. I also know she probably did not write the bit, she just read it (like Obama) and at least she did a better job reading the teleprompter than Al Sharpton does.
Still, it was troubling that the show that cut its teeth doing parodies of things involving all kinds of people stayed away from Williams and his story. A few of the guests poked the Williams story and at least one reference made the hosts obviously uncomfortable.
If they had worked Williams into that bit it would have worked much better.
The show was pretty good and fun to watch even if Curtin was way off the mark with her joke.
She was a better presence than the other two.
BTW, Sarah Palin looked way better than Tina Fey…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Bill Clinton; You Don’t Want Obama
Nov 6, 2012 Political
Serial sex offender Bill Clinton said something quite interesting and very ironic while campaigning for Barack Obama. Clinton asked the crowd if they wanted a president that repeatedly lies.
“You’re laughing, but who wants a president who will knowingly, repeatedly tell you something he knows is not true?” Daily Caller
Bill Clinton repeatedly lied to the American public regarding his affair with an intern and he continually denied that he had a sexual relationship with Gennifer Flowers. Yes, Bill Clinton repeatedly and knowingly lied to the American public.
And yet he was OK with running for election and then reelection. He had no problems with having a liar when he was the liar in question.
His allegations about Romney lying are just that. There is no proof that Romney knowingly and repeatedly said things that were not true.
But we know Obama did and continues to do so. Obama has repeatedly and knowingly lied about the murder of four Americans in Libya. Barack Obama was responsible for their deaths and he has been covering it up with one lie after another.
So Bill, you might be on to something. Obama is a liar and we do not want him.
Thanks for endorsing Mitt Romney and explaining why America should never have put you in office.
Is there nothing a Clinton won’t do or say?
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

A Bit Of Irony From Julian Assange
Dec 21, 2010 Political
Julian Assange is a wimpy little man who took it upon himself to decide what the world needs to know with regard to classified documents that he illegally released to the public. Assange believes that people deserve and have every right to know what secrets governments keep and Assange has taken great pleasure in revealing the secrets of the US. Assange wanted to embarrass this country and he has been quite successful at it.
He is currently in a bit of legal trouble stemming from a few sexual encounters he had in Sweden. Assange is trying not to be extradited and is working with his lawyers to avoid being sent to answer for his alleged crimes. I do not know what happened and I do not care. Assange is accused of sex crimes and that matter is between him, the alleged victims and the Swedish government.
The Guardian UK released information about Assange and his case and Assange is not happy about that. He believes that the Guardian published leaked information from Swedish authorities in an effort to influence his bail hearing. Does any of this sound familiar?
Here is the Irony, Assange is upset that someone leaked information about him when the entirety of his fame rests on the fact that he released leaked information. While Assange is only too happy to release our classified information, some of which is embarrasing, here is what he had to say when information about him was published:
Speaking from the English mansion where he is confined on bail, the 39-year-old Australian said that the decision to publish incriminating police files about him was “disgusting”. The Guardian had previously used him as its source for hundreds of leaked US embassy cables.
Mr Assange is understood to be particularly angry with a senior reporter at the paper and former friend for “selectively publishing” incriminating sections of the police report, although The Guardian made clear that the WikiLeaks founder was given several days to respond.
Mr Assange claimed the newspaper received leaked documents from Swedish authorities or “other intelligence agencies” intent on jeopardising his defence.
“The leak was clearly designed to undermine my bail application,” he said. “Someone in authority clearly intended to keep Julian in prison.” [emphasis mine] News.com.au
It is absolutely hysterical that Assange is the victim of the very thing he has been proud of doing. He published leaked information in an effort to embarrass the US and now he believes that leaked information about him was published in an effort to embarrass him and affect his hearing. He is whining about all this. Perhaps he should be in charge of Wikiweeps…
Isn’t it funny that this little man was so high and mighty when talking about releasing stolen documents and how he seems to revel in it but when it happens to him he becomes upset.
This is the absolute definition of irony and it could not have involved a more worthy piece of excrement.
Assange’s lawyers believe he was set up by the CIA with regard to the sex allegations.
Perhaps, but then again, maybe he is working with the Obama regime to manufacture a crisis in order to regulate some other aspect of our lives.
I know there has to be something for which they want to use a crisis to push through new rules.
Oh well, at least Assange is getting a taste of his own medicine and that is good. If anyone out there has any embarrassing and very private information that Assange is hiding now would be a good time to release it.
Turn about is, after all, fair play.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Fate Strikes Tim Kaine
Oct 6, 2010 Political
Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, you have to laugh at the fate that struck Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine. Rumors have been flying that Obama will dump Joe Biden and run with Hillary Clinton in 2012. There have been denials but that has not stopped the excitement among the left as they have orgasms thinking about the dream team. Kaine was asked about this and his response was what one would expect:
“I think it’s kind of like — is [NFL player] Randy Moss going to get traded from the Patriots to the [Minnesota] Vikings? It’s speculation, but I don’t think there’s anything to it.” FOX News
About 90 minutes later Moss was indeed traded from the Patriots to the Vikings.
No matter what side of the political aisle people stand on, this has to strike folks as an ironic twist of fate.
A twist that is sure to cause even more orgasmic gyrations from the left.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Ironies And Gall Surround Obama
Mar 26, 2009 Political
It is interesting to watch the MEssiah as he goes about his business because he is a complete contradiction to what he presented during the campaign. I believe that if he had discussed all this spending and had actually said what he was going to do he would never have won. The guy is hailed as a gifted speaker but as soon as he is away from a teleprompter he stutters and stammers and sounds like the years of drug abuse affected the speech center of his brain.
I think it is like watching a folly and it would be rather amusing if it were not so potentially fatal. His policies and his aggressive, steamrolling tactics are sending us down the path to hell.
Look at the irony of Obama and his cronies coming after those who don’t pay their taxes. Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal report that Obama is putting together a panel to overhaul the tax system so that they can get the 300 billion dollars that is not paid as it should be. Does it strike anyone as ironic that this statement is made?
“There are hundreds of billions of dollars in uncollected taxes each year,” Orszag said in a conference call. The Volcker board “will be examining ways of being even more aggressive on reducing the tax gap.” [Bloomberg]
The irony is that Tim Geithner was not the one who made the statement, Orszag was. Is it because Geithner was one of the tax cheats the overhaul is looking to detect? How ironic is it that Obama wants to go after tax cheats when the guy he picked to run Treasury is a tax cheat? How ironic is it that Charlie Rangel is a major tax cheat and is not being aggressively investigated? Obama wants new rules to crack down on YOU while the Democrats are full of tax cheats. How many of this guy’s picks had to bow out because of some tax problem?
It is amazing. It is like having a doctor who smokes tell you to give up cigarettes because they are bad for you or your pastor telling you to be faithful to your swife while he is having an affair. It is just wrong, it is hypocritical, and it is unmitigated gall.
I believe everyone should pay their fair share of taxes but I think members of government should be beyond reproach and this bunch is anything but.
Look at Obama’s press conference last night. I told you this guy would continue to blame Bush for as long as he could. It is interesting that he continues to blame Bush for the bad stuff but takes credit for the good stuff. If something good happens in Iraq we never hear Obama say that George Bush is responsible.
No, instead Obama will go on national TV and LIE. He said he inherited a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit. That is an absolute lie. Forgetting for a moment that Congress controls the purse strings, let’s look at the deficit numbers. At Gateway Pundit there is a chart that shows the deficit under Bush was slightly over 400 billion dollars at its highest point. The projected deficits for Obama are over a trillion dollars for the first two years and never drop below about 600 billion. The projection out to 2019 is just as bleak.
The numbers are only public debt and don’t include government to government debt or the numbers for everyone are enormous. Obama was lying when he said what he did or he was using a different set of numbers in order to make his case. The information comes from the Heritage Foundation and they report that Obama has quadrupled the debt with his stimulus package.
Obama also defended his reduction of the charitable contribution tax deductions for wealthier Americans saying that it would not lead to less money being donated basing this on some kind of evidence. I don’t really know what plant he hails from but on Earth the opposite has been demonstrated. As pointed out at Just One Minute (from a 2005 analysis):
The authors compile and contrast the results of a vast number of studies looking at the interplay of tax rates and charitable giving. Although people have many motivations for their philanthropy the conclusion of almost all of these studies points in the same direction – on net people give less when it costs them more.
Maybe on Krypton that is not a problem but on Earth people, even those who are very charitable, don’t give as much if it will cost them more. The Obama plan is a disincentive to give but then again, why would a liberal understand charity? It isn’t like they actually give much…
Finally, the lynch mob has taken its toll on one AIG executive. The New York Times published the letter of resignation of Jake DeSantis. Be sure to read his entire letter. The guy worked for a $1 a year based on the bonus that AIG was legally obligated to pay. Now Congress wants to take 90% of it as a punishment for a guy who had nothing to do with the problems and who stayed on to help.
I see more of these coming. In the end AIG will fail and we will be on the hook for billions of dollars. If we had let them fail in September we could have saved that money.
