REALITY CHECK: A BUFFET FOR BUFFETT

Greetings puny Earthlings.

Sorry for being away for so long, but we do have busy lives out here, running the Known Universe.  But I'm back to give you Earthlings a reality check that you really seem to need.

Right now the Obama Administration has a quandary, they want to be re-elected so they can be more "flexible" on issues like health care, gun control, and their dealings with the Iranians, the Chinese and the Russians.  However they can't run on their record since all they've managed to accomplish is to pass a bloated health care law that becomes more and more unpopular the more and more people learn about it.

So what do they do?  The answer appears to be Class War, by going after Republicans as the party of "fat cats" and "millionaires and billionaires" who make more than $250,000 a year.

The centerpiece of this class war is the so-called "Buffett Rule" where capital gains taxes would be doubled in the name of fairness, and that it has to be okay, because it has the endorsement, and name of arch-plutocrat Warren Buffett.

So let's look at the fundamental fallacies behind the "Buffett Rule." 

FALLACY #1: FAIRNESS

This is the most obvious fallacy because taxes have absolutely NOTHING to do with enforcing fairness.  Taxes exist for one purpose only and that is to generate the most revenue for the government while doing the least damage to the economy.

One of the fundamental truths about taxes is that if they go too high, the actual amount of revenue they collect goes down.  That's because high taxes slow the growth of the economy by reducing the amount of available investment capital, and when that happens there's a lot less money that can be collected.

When taxes are low, there's a lot more growth in the economy, and revenue actually grows.

Then there's the notion of fairness.

Fairness is an illusion held by spoiled children.

There is no way for any mortal being can re-shape the world into anything that is remotely fair, because fairness doesn't exist.  The Omni-Brains of Ollax 17 are smart enough to tell you that the absolute last digit of Pi is "3," and can calculate a complete audit of all the matter in the Universe in the space of an afternoon, but even they can't define what's fair.

I'm pretty certain that a politician who doesn't even know the legal precedents that he allegedly taught at university can't do it either.

FALLACY #2: DEFICIT REDUCTION

The revenue generated by the Buffett Rule will definitely close the deficit run up by the Obama Administration in 2011.

It will just take over 500 years to do it.

FALLACY #3: THE TARGETS

The Obama Administration and its wealthy cronies tell you that only they will be affected by the doubling of the capital gains tax.

That's what we aliens call a big fat load of grade A nerfle-shit. 

First, if you have a 401k or any other pension plan that's invested in the stock market, you are royally buggered. Because all the rich investors and corporations will pull all their money out before the Buffett Rule goes into effect, to put it all in something tax free like government bonds, or just ship it overseas.

Also anyone who wants to be the next Warren Buffett will be shit out of luck trying to get any investment capital for their projects.

Which brings us to...

FALLACY #4: NOBLESSE OBLIGE

The sage of Omaha says that he's only interested in "doing his fair share."  If that was the case, he's welcome to just donate all his many billions to the government, but there's no way he can profit from it that way.

Profit from the Buffett Rule?

Yes, he and his buddies stand to profit hugely from the Buffett Rule, and it's so simple, it's brilliant.

Remember, Buffett has tens of billions of dollars in personal wealth, and control of tens of billions more dollars in the reserves of his holding company Berkshire Hathaway.  

Pass the Buffett Rule so Buffett can rule!

That money has already been taxed, so it's all his, and not the government's.

When the Buffett Rule causes share values to crash, Buffett and his buddies will have vast resources to buy up whole companies at bargain basement prices, to hold until the next government rescinds the Buffett Rule and their value recovers.

So it looks like what Buffett claims to be a case of noblesse oblige is really just an elaborate scheme to use his political connections to suppress competition and profit hugely.

Is that clear?

Keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.

Reality Checks: Terrorist Or Psycho Asshole

Greetings puny Earthlings.

I'm taking a break from my retirement from blogging to offer a little reality check over the whole tragedy in Norway. Specifically the asshole behind it:

Anders Behring Breivik

Right now people on the Political Left are crowing that Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik is the living proof that Christians are somehow exactly the same as Muslims when it comes to terrorism.

That's what we more evolved life forms call "horseshit."

Anders Behring Breivik is not a terrorist in the sense that is associated with Islamic Jihadi Terrorism, but more of a total lunatic asshole psycho shitbag.

Let's take a look at the facts:

To be a terrorist one has to belong to a movement, that means more than one person, that has an overarching dogma that is either political (Baader Meinhoff Gang), religious (Al Qaida/ Hezbollah), or a nationalistic combination of both (Provisional IRA) and an ultimate goal that might be impossible, but not completely insane. A terrorist also gets support, both physical and moral, from those who share the terrorist's beliefs and goals, even though they may not directly engage in terrorist activities themselves.

Anders Behring Breivik does not appear to belong to any group, and no group claims responsibility for him, though one Islamist terrorist faction did briefly claim his actions before retracting their statement. No one in the Christian or conservative community that the Left claims Anders Behring Breivik represents are rushing to support him. In fact, they condemn him and his actions entirely, not only because they were morally abhorrent, but also because they were stupid to the point of madness.

Anders Behring Breivik claims in his statements and his manifesto that he thinks his actions will somehow spur a nationalist Christian Crusade to drive the Muslims out of Norway, and reclaim it for the blonds of the world. That shows that he is either lying or really does know nothing about what he claims to be his religion or the people practicing it.

First, he blew up a building and then massacred children in cold blood because he claimed the political party running the government and the children's camp they were attending were too open to immigration from Islamic countries.

What is the only thing those kinds of evil actions will accomplish?

Exactly the opposite of what he claims to want.

The only result that could possible come from the actions of Anders Behring Breivik is that the Norwegian Labor Party becomes sanctified with the blood of innocent martyrs. It is now bullet-proof from any and all criticism, especially in the fields of immigration policy because anyone who dares differ from them on those issues, no matter how softly and rationally, will be slapped with the label of "Anders Behring Breivik - Psycho Racist Shitbag."

They will get re-elected, again and again, using Anders Behring Breivik against all opposition, until they follow the path of any party that's in power too long and become so bloated and corrupt not even the blood of innocent martyrs will save them from electoral oblivion. However, by then any damage will already be done and possibly too far gone to repair.

That proves that his stated goals were not just impossible, but downright insane.

If he was remotely sane, and actually believed in the religion he professed to belong to he would have taken an entirely different tack. One where he would have stated that Europe's policy of open immigration was a sham, making it easy to enter their country, but impossible to join their society. He would have told the world that European political correctness, poorly thought out welfare programs, and plain old bigotry imposed a state of soft segregation on immigrant communities, especially Muslim ones. Once segregated from the host country's social mainstream, they become isolated, and easily fall under the sway of "religious and community leaders" who spread radical hate-filled ideologies in exchange for generous funding from Middle Eastern dictatorships. That leads to poverty, radicalization, social upheaval, and real religious based terrorism.

If he followed that sane, Christian path, he'd be neither the terrorist the Left claims he is, or the Psycho Shit-Bag Walking Tumor that he really is, and all those dead people would be alive and enjoying their summer vacations.

Of course, that's only if we believe what Anders Behring Breivik has been telling us, and politics and religion may not have anything to do with this.

Anders Behring Breivik's stated goals may not be his real goals, because often what people cite as causes of their evil behavior, are really just excuses concocted by the perpetrator as some form of justification for being an asshole.

Even by terrorist standards his actions were bizarre. If he hated Muslims so much, why didn't he attack a mosque? Or an Islamic religious camp? Why didn't he attack some of Norway's local Islamic leaders?

When Islamic terrorist set out to kill Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, or Muslim "apostates" they do just that. They don't say they're out to do one thing, then go out and do something else entirely. It wouldn't fulfill their impossible, but not completely insane goal of world conquest.

Anders Behring Breivik didn't go anywhere near the Muslim community that he claims he wants to drive out of his country. Instead, he set off a bomb in Oslo, and while the bomb was designed to kill, the deaths caused by it were just gravy to this bastard. I believe the real intention of Anders Behring Breivik, was to create the diversion he needed to obtain his real target, the kids at the summer camp.

I believe his ultimate goal was not some nationalistic, religious, or political statement, but the acting out of some sick personal fantasy. I believe that Anders Behring Breivik wanted to kill children, teenagers especially, and create social chaos that will make him a malignant legend in Norway for generations to come. All this chatter about immigration, politics, and religion is, in my opinion, just a smokescreen.

Of course that won't stop the Left from smearing their perceived enemies. Nothing can stop them from doing that, especially the truth.

Keep watching the skies, because despite the irregularity of our posts, we're still watching you.

Reality Checks & Retirement

Greetings puny Earthlings.

I know it's been pretty slow here on the ranch, and it's been getting harder and harder to get the guys together to do a panel, and I've been so busy with my empire, that I've decided to retire the MoxArgon Group as a regular blog.

It's been a good run and I figure I can't do better than retire this blog on a day more auspicious than the one marking the announcement of the death of Osama Bin Ladin.

So I will leave you with a few reality checks...

OSAMA BIN LADIN IS DEAD, ALAS...

Well, it's official, and confirmed by DNA that terrorist mastermind and de facto theological trendsetter for the Islamic world Osama Bin Ladin was killed outside Abbottabad Pakistan, by a Navy Seal team, and his carcass tossed into the sea, where it will soon be fish shit.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Like Saddam Hussein, his roommate in the third fissure on the left in Lucifer's asshole, Osama was someone who brought nothing but pain and suffering to the world. While it's not good to wish any sentient being harm, you really don't have any alternative with a walking tumor like old Osama.

Naturally, the Muslim world is going to shit some kittens over this. Expect lots of threats, the occasional riot, and terrorist attack, all in the name of avenging his death in the name of Allah.

Why would the Muslim world react that way to the death of a man who is responsible for the deaths and suffering of more Muslims than any foreign imperialist?

Because that's how the Islamic world reacts to everything. Sure the majority of Muslims just want to live their lives and stay out of trouble, but they have too many Osamas dominating their mosques, governments, and every other institution in their community. If any Muslims dares to break from this bloodthirsty orthodoxy and seek to live in peace with others all they can hope for is that their death is quick and relatively painless.

Sure, people see the current Arab Spring as a sign of hope for democracy in the Arab world, but that hope is mostly likely a pipe dream. All the hundreds of thousands of Osamas are too many, too organized, and too determined to force their co-religionists and hopefully the rest of the world into a world of shit and suffering.

The Muslim people of the world have to take this event as an excuse to look at the real causes of all their problems, and it ain't the Great Satan, or the Joos. Then maybe they might join the rest of the world in peace.

BARACK OBAMA IS REALLY AN AMERICAN, ALAS...

Charles Krauthammer was partially right when he called Donald Trump the "Republican Al Sharpton." Like Sharpton, Trump's a self-aggrandizing attention whore with mysterious hair. However, Sharpton has a definite political philosophy, based on self enrichment through racial grievance games and liberal guilt. Politically, Trump has more flip flops than every gift shop in Miami Beach.

The whole Birther nonsense is just that nonsense, engineered by the Obama machine. Need proof? Well ask yourself these questions:

1. Why didn't Obama release the long form birth certificate when Clinton operatives first brought up the issue during his campaign for the Democratic nomination?

2. Why did Obama's people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting any and all legal claims by people wanting to see the birth certificate?

Well, the answer is simple.

OBAMA WANTED THE BIRTHERS TO RUN AROUND.

Simple politics. Now Obama can use Trump and the birthers to smear any and all Republicans as paranoid conspiracy nuts hiding in Jesse Ventura's basement.

Right now Obama is looking at falling polls, rising gas prices, inflation, and a stagnant job market eating into not only his golf time, but his re-election chances. If the Republicans run someone who appears reasonable, practical and decisive he's screwed.

So he needs to get a loudmouth asshole freak-show to run for the nomination, dominate the mainstream media coverage, and completely brand the party as the party of loudmouth asshole freak-shows whether he wins the nomination or not.

Enter Trump.

He's loud, obnoxious, and has a thinner skin than Obama himself, he's perfect for the job and the media's going to pimp him as the "front-runner" right to the Republican nomination, and after he loses, keep bringing him up as some sort of compadre to the winner of the nomination.

It's just simple politics.

So while this is goodbye for now Earthlings, I must advise that you keep watching the skies, because we will still be watching you.

Reality Checks: World Tour

Greetings puny Earthlings.

Sorry for not posting so much, I've been busy, but I've manage to take a moment to drop a few reality checks on your lap.

JAPAN & NUCLEAR POWER:

Loads of people, especially in the media, are shitting kittens in panic over the ongoing troubles at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

STOP IT ASSHOLES!

Seriously. Think it about for a second.

1. This is not Chernobyl. Even though the plant apparently has some management problems they are nowhere near the vodka sodden antics of Chernobyl's Communist era apparatchiks.

2. Japan has dozens of nuclear power plants. Only one is in danger. What does that tell you?

3. Radiation is not always a death sentence. Most of the time the treatment to exposure can be just having a shower and doing your laundry. At certain levels it can even be beneficial to the Earthling immune system.

So quit freaking everyone out.

Now that's settled, let's move onto to what Japan needs to do after the quake.

They need to stop being so damn complacent, and here's why:

Japan can't afford to be the home of the $100 head of lettuce anymore. Huge swathes of the nation's infrastructure has been either damaged, or completely destroyed. Prices are going to go up naturally because it's going to be more expensive to move food around the country. They don't need their spoiled brat farmers rioting for more protectionist trade laws because they don't want any competition.

Japan's a great exporter, but it takes forever to import anything, and if you do get in, it's got a truckload of tariffs on it no one can afford it. Japan needs to engage into a little economic shock therapy to get their economy out of its decades long doldrums, and get the reconstruction going faster.

They also need to start having more children. Their population's too old, and Japan's younger generation needs to stop obsessing about anime and get to work making some babies.

Really, I shouldn't have to tell you these things.

LIBYA, LIFE AFTER QADDAFI OR NOT

The west is currently enforcing a "no fly zone" in Libya, and bombing the Qaddafi faction's air force and armor in order to protect the rebels based out of Benghazi.

There is no guarantee that old Meltface Moammar is going to lose power. The Arab League called for his ouster, then when the missiles started flying, promptly shit their pants, said it was too much. While they like the idea of his ass being grass, they don't actually want someone from the outside their narrow little community of dictators to actually do it.

If they make enough of a stink the Europeans will back down, Obama's government will fold faster than the Flash on laundry day, the UN will blame it all on Israel, and Moammar will be on the comeback trail.

Now you're wondering how can someone make a comeback after seeing huge chunks of his country rise up against him, and those very same chunks back down, whimpering like freshly whipped dogs.

Simple: The will of Allah.

You see there's a fundamental difference between the Judeo-Christian influenced leadership tradition of the west, and the Islamic leadership tradition. Even those who claimed the "Divine Right of Kingship" in the western world were still bound by a certain set of unwritten rules. They needed to at least present a facade of being just, moral, and wise in order to appear worthy of that divine right, and to keep power.

If they failed to measure up to the appearance of being worthy, they were likely to be deemed unworthy and tossed, possibly from a window of the highest tower in the castle.

This is very different in the Islamic world.

In the Islamic world you don't need to display morality or wisdom to be deemed worthy of power, you just have to seize power. It doesn't matter if you murder your way to the top, the fact that you reached the top shows that you are fulfilling the Will of Allah.

People in the Islamic world may complain about your cruelty, tyranny, and despotism, but they pretty much take your shit and call it ice cream, because they think it is all the will of Allah. It is only when you show a sign of weakness do they think that Allah has changed his mind, and that it's time for someone new to become dictator.

If Qaddafi reasserts himself, thousands will die in his reprisal campaign, then it'll be back to the same old, same old, and the Islamic world will end up blaming it all on the West and Israel, when the real blame falls squarely on their own heads.

Keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.

Reality Check: Egypt

Greeting puny Earthlings.

Time to take a moment to cash a reality check.

Right now the ancient land of the Pharaohs is in turmoil. Dictator, (that's what he is despite what Joe Biden says) Hosni Mubarak is too old, sick, and incompetent to keep the power that he's held onto for the past 30 years since the death of his predecessor Anwar Sadat. The people are rising up against his increasingly heavy handed in rule in the spirit of the recent overthrow of Tunisia's dictator.

Now while I normally support the ouster of dictators that are so stupid they can manage to still run their economy into the ground despite billions in annual foreign aid from the USA, there is a catch with this situation.

That catch is the Muslim Brotherhood.

Right now the opposition is dominated by factions calling for democracy and freedom and the Muslim Brotherhood is, for the most part, staying off the streets.

That's why Egyptians must be worried.

That's because the Brotherhood is waiting in the wings, letting the democratic factions take all the hits while they bide their time, marshal their forces, and when the time is right, they will strike and take over the Arab world's most populous and influential nation.

Then Egypt will be beyond screwed.

You think the Egyptian economy is bad now, think how bad it will be under the Brotherhood. The biggest source of foreign hard currency they have right now is tourism, will that industry keep going when the Brotherhood flattens the pyramids to build mosques, blow up ancient sites, drive out all archaeologists, and burn or smash the contents of their museums?

It won't.

They can also see an end to all that American aid that's kept the country from becoming a complete basket case.

The average Egyptian on the street might dislike the Yankee Imperialist Pig-Dog for propping up the Mubarak regime. However, they must remember that the Mubarak regime that was the only thing keeping Egypt in at least the 20th century, if not the 21st, and out of the 8th century that the Brotherhood wants.

My advice to the people that want to get rid of Mubarak:

Get rid of the Muslim Brotherhood first.

They are not your friends.

They are not in tune with the will of Allah, because if they were, why was Afghanistan, their model of a properly holy society, such a shit-hole.

All the Muslim Brotherhood wants is power, and they will spill gallons of your blood to get it.

So here's the plan.

Get rid of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Then get rid of Mubarak.

Then reform your government, economy, and even society, so Egypt can be more than a land with a lot of history, and transform it into a land with an actual future.

A Reality Check: Stick & Stones

Greetings puny Earthlings.

Words can kill.

It's true. In fact, if someone of my species says the word "feldspar" in just the right tone of voice, the heads of everyone within earshot will pop like zits.

However, things are different on your wretched little planet. You Earthlings love to talk and talk and talk, and you love to talk out of your asses as much as out of your mouths.

Lately you've been talking out of your asses about words. Take a look at these examples:

1. A publisher is releasing a bowdlerized version of Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, eliminating the dread "N word" to get rid of the racism in a novel that was written as a statement against racism. Henceforth leaving the word for rappers the world over.

2. Canadian broadcast regulators have banned the original edit of Dire Straits' song "Money For Nothing" from radio for its use of the word "faggot." Suddenly giving radio stations an excuse to play the song after 25+ years.

3. The media and left-wing blogosphere rushed to shit kittens after the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of 6 others blaming the "violent" "military" rhetoric of those pesky evil right wingers. It later turned out that the only rhetoric spurring that sick bastard on was the stuff being spoken in his head. That didn't matter, the left manufactured their version of events, and it will no doubt be cited whenever the case is referenced from now till doomsday.

Anyway, back to my point.

These three cases of either censorship, attempted censorship, or outright libel in an attempt to stifle free speech are all done in the name of saving lives. Those who lash out over words say that people hear or read these words, and that these words make them act violently towards their fellow man.

Well, here are some words for you: That's a lot of bullshit.

You see the words that "kill" the most are not rude names, or "violent" imagery. The deadliest words are the ones that claim that they are acting solely in the best interests of making the world a better place.

The history of the 20th-21st centuries are rife with obvious cases of dictators promising socialist/communist/Islamic utopias to motivate their followers to engage in mass slaughter, but I'd like to take a moment to discuss the lesser known moments when words coming out of the mouths of seemingly well meaning people have led to death and destruction.

This is Rachel Carson.

Her words have killed millions of people all over the world.

Did she used racist or homophobic language or so-called violent rhetoric?

Nope.

She wrote a book called Silent Spring which blamed the pesticide DDT for everything from cancer, thinning egg shells on bald eagles, to possibly the great fire of Rome, and practically invented the field of hysterical environmentalism that dominates academia, media and government today.

As it turned out, studies showed reduced rates of cancer among people exposed to DDT, the eagle egg problem came from the improper use of DDT as an agricultural pesticide, and not for the killing of malarial mosquitoes in stagnant ponds as it was designed for.

Yet her campaign against the chemical led to it being banned all over the world.

And millions of people in tropical nations died and continue to die from malaria every year.

Also the movement she helped spawn has helped hinder research into not just chemicals, but also medicine, and the use of resources that could have lifted millions out of poverty and suffering.

But she meant well, and I guess that's enough, because to the left, she's a saint.

Then there's Jenny McCarthy.

She meant well when she started a campaign to blame her son's autism on vaccines, based on a study that has now been exposed as a massive fraud and a hoax.

However, her campaign, and her response that anyone who dared question the study, or her assertions, were somehow in the pay of a sinister "vaccine lobby" led to who knows how many parents skipping vaccines for their children. What we do know is that your planet, especially North America saw an upshot in preventable diseases among children.

It may take years before you figure out how many of these children died because of their parent's desire to believe a minor celebrity conspiracy-theorizing about a barely understood field of medicine over rational scientific procedure, but I can tell you something you can bet dollars to zlotnorx on:

I believe that more people have died because of the rhetoric of Jenny McCarthy than have died because of the rhetoric of Sarah Palin.

Face it, a small percentage will believe anything that someone on TV tells them. 15% of people surveyed actually believed that Loughner dickweed was acting on orders from the Tea Party, a percentage believe that Dick Cheney blew up New Orleans' levees, and that the Jews working at the World Trade Center got phone calls to not go to work on 9.11. 2001.

There will always be people who will believe any shit that gets stuck in their ears, and when these people get into positions of power in government, academia, and the media, they can do a hell of a lot of damage with their so-called good intentioned words.

Way more damage than anyone can do with a rude name.

Keep watching the skies because we're watching you.

Reality Check: Cause Or An Excuse?

Greetings puny Earthlings.

I just got back from a trip hunting Trivolian Snarkpuds when I heard that Juan Williams had been fired from his post as a news analyst on NPR.
Yep, someone was able to fire that face. Of course as soon as I heard the news I asked why was he fired, and when I got the answer I was gobsmacked.

Apparently he was fired for offering his opinion.

Now I know that you Earthlings are a relatively primitive, savage, and fairly dim species as a whole, but I think even you know that it's the job of a news analyst to look at the news, analyze that news, and then offer their opinion.

But according to this woman...

Vivian Schiller

Offering opinions is not the job of an opinion giving analyst.

Really?

Of course that wasn't their first story. Frau Schiller She-Wolf of the NPR said that his admission to Bill O'Reilly that seeing openly Muslim men on airplanes made him nervous. He then went on to say how bad that made him feel and how wrong it is to be prejudiced and to deny anyone their constitutional rights... so on and so forth.

Next thing old Don Juan Williams knew, he was out at NPR, first for being a bigot, but when that seemed too silly, it was that whole giving an opinion foolishness.

Now mind you, if Juan said that seeing a Baptist minister and his family on a plane making him nervous he'd probably be promoted, but saying that about Muslims is a no no, because, well, the powers that be in NPR's little pocket dimension say so.

Of course it's not Juan Williams' alleged bigotry that the source of those jittery nerves but rather the bigotry of--

Guys like this
who apparently number in the hundreds of thousands around the world and do things like

this.

No amount of even NPR brand irrationality could justify classifying Juan Williams' statement as racist, or, as Frau Schiller has stated, something only to be shared with a psychiatrist. It also can't make anyone choke down the 'you can't give an opinion because you're an opinion journalist' story either.

No, all the blather spewing from the gaping maw of NPR is just that blather. There are not causes, but excuses.

You see Juan Williams has cause to feel the way he does, NPR is just hunting for an excuse to get rid of him.

Now why would they want to get rid of him?

I mean he is a flaming liberal, he supports the Democratic Party and its screwy platform, as well as most of the politically correct shibboleths that a taxpayer/Soros supported NPR on-air personality is supposed to believe.

The problem is that he was honest about his opinions. He debated his opinions on Fox News openly, and from a place of sincere belief. He also showed the integrity to discuss the opinions of others as just differing from his own, and not as the root of all that evil in the universe.

In other words, he showed too much honesty and integrity for NPR's liking and he did it in the court of crimson king himself Roger Ailes of Fox News.

It's time for the taxpayer to stop having their money pissed away on sinecures for political hacks like Frau Schiller, Nina Totenberg, and that paragon of pseudo-journalistic whoring the late and nowhere near great Daniel Schorr.

That put a target on his head, because the last thing the gauleiters of NPR believe is honest debate based on honest beliefs. NPR stands for using taxpayer dollars to promote and maintain the power of the extreme left-wing of the Democratic Party, and there's no room for any honesty and integrity in that stance.

It's good to see Roger Ailes swoop in to save the day, and offer Juan a full time job. Because while you may not agree with his beliefs, he really does believe them, and is willing to debate them, and not scream racism and stomp off like one of the petulant brats on The View.

Reality Check Time!: Court Jester Edition

Greetings puny Earthling...

Sorry I've been away for so long, but it's busy out here in my empire, otherwise known as the REST OF THE UNIVERSE, but I'm here to dispense my own brand of brutal reality checks. Today its all about:

JON STEWART & STEPHEN COLBERT

They made their names claiming to be rebel jesters who "spoke truth to power" and other such utterly meaningless bullshit, but now their true colors are showing.

They are not rebels, they don't speak truth to power, they simper and suck up to power as long as the people in power share their personal prejudices.

Think about these two questions:

A. Why was Stephen Colbert asked to testify at a hearing about illegal immigration, and to do it "in character" as a faux-conservative blowhard pundit? Why is Jon Stewart trying to put together what is essentially an anti-Tea Party rally in Washington?

B. Why do Colbert and Stewart agree to do these things?

Answers:

A. Colbert's character is how the left defines conservative pundits like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck. If you ask most leftist to talk about those pundits they'll usually call them ignorant, bigoted, and constantly lying, but ask for anything specific, and they'll cite something Colbert said or did while "pretending" to be one. The Democrats want to make the rest of America think of Colbert and his antics whenever any real conservative pundit is mentioned, so they called him in.

Stewart's job is to dominate the media coverage with anti-Tea Party rhetoric as an election that could prove devastating to the Democratic Party approaches. He is also to create the illusion that the American people like having their health care, jobs, and everything else controlled by Washington bureaucrats in the hope that it will sway undecided voters.

B. Colbert and Stewart agreed to do these things because his ass is owned by three powerful forces:

1) The Viacom-Paramount-Comedy Central Axis.
2) The Elite Critics.
3) Entertainment community.

It's a simple fact that while the audience size for their shows are good for cable, aren't all that great compared to the Fox News juggernaut. That means that in order to keep their cushy hosting jobs, justify their high salaries, and keep other gigs coming they need to appease those three masters, and here's how:

While Stewart, Colbert, and the rest of the mainstream lap-dog media scream in horrified outrage that Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation donated to a Republican organization, the VPCC Axis, its dominant shareholder nonagenarian plutocrat billionaire Sumner Redstone, most of his senior staff, and on-air talent donate money, fund-raise, and actively campaign for Democratic Party candidates and causes.

The same is true of the elite critics and awards nominating voters in the entertainment community who grant respectability and labels of "genius" to guys who need twenty full time writers to sound glib and off the cuff. Anyone else with the same ratings would either be canceled or just considered minor players in the comedy scene, but with the critics and the rest of the media community singing their praises constantly, they are boxing in both prestige and salary beyond their weight class.

Now some may say things like: "Oh, they make jokes about Obama now, so they're all right." But that's a little off topic. They are only doing that in order to save what little integrity they have left with an increasingly dissatisfied audience, but otherwise have to dance to their master's tune. It's just that simple.

Keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.

Reality Check: On Mosques

Greetings puny Earthlings.

There's a lot of chatter going on about the proposed Islamic Mosque/Community Center that a group wants to build pretty much adjacent to the site of the 9/11/2001 attack.

This issues calls for a reality check so let's look at the reasons why and why not.

Here is the main argument for building the mosque at Ground Zero used by its supporters:

1. If you don't love the mosque you're a dirty racist.

Here are the reasons why it shouldn't be built.

1. Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Imam in the forefront of the project. He claims to be a moderate Muslim, who sort of kind of maybe condemned the 9/11 attack, but said America probably did something to deserve it anyway, and he also claims to be unable to tell Hamas from a hole in the ground.

2. We know very little about the backers of this project. Only that they wield a lot of money, and scream racism whenever anyone asks any questions about them or their sources of capital. Let's not forget The Holy Land Foundation, an Islamic charity with a similar opaque structure that was up to its neck in terrorist financing. I know it seems unfair to target organizations promoting one specific religion for such scrutiny, but right now the Presbyterian and Buddhist charities aren't paying for terrorism and propaganda that promotes it.

3. In Islamic tradition the main reason for building a mosque on the site of an Islam inspired mass murder is not to built links between communities, or pray for the souls of the lost. It's to assert a message of Islamic victory and supremacy, no doubt to be used in Al Qaida propaganda looming over the wreckage of the Twin Towers.

4. They named the project as a reminder of Islamic rule of the Spanish city of Cordoba, claiming it marks a time of goodwill, tolerance, and brotherhood. Cordoba did have that, for a little while, but a few decades are used to whitewash centuries of oppression, intolerance, and brutality.

5. The builders of this project claim that Greg Gutfeld's plan to build a Muslim friendly gay bar next door doesn't take into their account Muslim sensibilities. What does that tell you about the people behind this project? It shows that their sensibilities are the only ones that matter, because they don't give a rat's ass about the sensibilities of New Yorkers who lost 3,000 of their friends and neighbors in the name of Islam.

6. Speaking of sensibilities, Muslim sensibilities generally forbid the building of ANY buildings for servicing any religion other than Islam. If they predate Islamic conquest, then under the dhimmi laws they cannot be expanded, or in many cases maintained, in any way because that's seen as an insult to Islam. These buildings, and the people who worship in them are also regularly subjected to vandalism, harassment, and even violence in the name of preserving Islam's honor.

And yet if you don't like the Ground Zero Mosque, then YOU are the bigot.

They are free to build mosques, that is their right in a free, non-Islamic society, but they are not free to play nasty politically correct games to tear down the society that allows them the freedom they are currently enjoying.

Keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.

Helen Thomas & Everything That's Wrong

Greetings puny Earthlings.

This past week saw the retirement of Helen Thomas from her place of dishonor in the front row of the Washington Press Corps after she suggested that Israelis give up their 3000+ years of history, hand over their nation to people who enjoy blowing up schools, and return to Europe where 6 million of their number were slaughtered during the 1940s.

Her forced retirement came just months shy of her 90th birthday, and about 25 years too late.

Her entire career was a classic illustration of everything that's wrong with the mainstream media. As I write this many of the media's chattering classes are talking about her great accomplishments as the doyenne of the chattering class.

And here is a list of greatest journalistic accomplishments:

1. She showed up.

2. She stayed.

Yes, she broke the mold by being the first woman to join the White House drinking club press corps. But if it wasn't her, it would have been someone else, it was an inevitability, and after breaking that mold, Helen Thomas got moldy very quickly.

For those of you who don't believe me just answer these two questions:

1. What big "scoops" did she dig up in her career?

2. When was the last time you read one of her "columns" and said: "Damn, she's brilliant?"

The answers are 1. None, and 2. Never.

Because you don't get scoops when you're the White House correspondent. All you do is regurgitate what the Press Secretary tells you, and write about what you heard, layering on as much spin as you can get away with.

Reporters like the position because it gives them instant daily national exposure, but realize that it's a very limited position, because you really can't break news the way you can in other positions. So most journalists, the real ones, move on when they've done their turn in order to grow their careers.

Helen Thomas at least had the foresight to know her limitations as just a biased hack, and once she had the "showing up" part done, she stayed, using her gender and age to get away with her hackery, her bias, and her blatant hatred of Jews, Republicans, Israel, democratic countries, and anything else that she disagrees with that manages to poke through the layers of cobwebs in her senility addled brain.

Since she was "The First," had seniority, and expressed openly the prejudices most media mavens had to hide under layers of baffle-gab, she was honored, feted, and glorified waaay beyond her ability, intelligence, or integrity. It helped her get a contract with Hearst newspapers that Hearst instantly regretted, running only a handful of her least incoherent columns, and binning the rest.

Helen Thomas sat in the front seat of that press room like a pimple on the ass of progress. Sore, unpleasant, and full of some really nasty stuff.

Then she finally went too far, ripped off the mask, and showed the world the pseudo intellectual pus that filled her head.

Now she's gone, and the White House is going to have to find another long-in-the-tooth, anti-Semitic, incoherent, yahoo to fill that precious front row seat.

It won't be hard, there are a lot of jokers in the media deck.

Keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.

Are You A Peace Activist?

Greetings puny Earthlings...

There's a lot of chatter going on about the flotilla of "peace activists" who were stopped from dropping off their boatload of supplies in Gaza so Hamas can keep spending the food money on rockets to launch at Israeli kindergartens. People in the media are calling the people on the boat "peace activists" and the Israeli military "terrorists" while the Israelis and those who support their survival are calling the boat people "terrorist supporters."

Now I like to clear up confusion, I've composed a little test to determine if you are a peace activist, a terrorist, or a person protecting innocent lives.

PEACE ACTIVIST/TERRORIST

1. You have a boat full of supplies for Gaza. You are requested by the Israeli government to dock so your cargo can be checked for weapons, and Israel offers to transport all non-military aid to be sent into Gaza. What do you do?

A) Dock and arrange for a trusted outside agency to supervise the inspection and shipment of aid supplies into Gaza.

B) Respond that you are damning all blockades and will charge into Gaza or die a martyr.

2. The Israeli military has boarded your boat to take it into port for inspection for weapons. What do you do?

A) Have a sit in and sing "We shall overcome" while the Israelis inspect your boats.

B) Assault the Israeli troops screaming "Allah akbar" with metal bars and knives, tossing them overboard, and grabbing their guns in the hope of creating a violent international incident.

3. Your peace group acted like a pack of homicidal maniacs against the Israelis, and got a lot of people killed, wounded, and arrested. What do you do?

A) Decry the violent actions of your own group and beg Israel for forgiveness in the hope that it might open doors for some sort of peaceful coexistence.

B) Call the Israelis "terrorists" and scream for bloody vengeance against the Jewish state and Jewish people in general.

If you answered "A" to these three questions you are a PEACE ACTIVIST.

If you answered "B" to these three questions you are a TERRORIST SUPPORTER.

TERRORIST/ DEFENDER

1. A flotilla of terrorist supporters and the Eurotrash activists that love them are sailing right into Gaza in violation of a security blockade. They are refusing to go into port where their supplies will be shipped after inspection, and are screaming for martyrdom. What do you do?

A) Board the vessels with lightly armed commandos in the hope that the ships can be redirected safely.

B) Blast the flotilla into splinters, and tell the world that the boats were full of explosives meant for Hamas that were accidentally set off.

2. The commandos you sent onto the ships were assaulted, their non-lethal weapons overcome, and their lethal sidearms taken. What do you do?

A) Return fire, but try to minimize casualties.

B) Leave the ships, then sink them, and machine gun anyone who tries to swim away.

3. You have captured a bunch of foreigners who participated in the assault on the Israeli commandos. What do you do?

A) Arrest them, but instead of jailing them, deport them to their home countries.

B) Toss them into a deep, dark dungeon where they are vigorously tortured for information, then executed when their usefulness is spent.

If you answered "A" to these three questions, then you are a DEFENDER trying to protect human life.

If you answered "B" to these three questions. you're probably one of the Middle Eastern dictatorships that surround Israel.

A Few Reality Checks...

Greetings puny Earthlings.

Sorry we've been away for a while. Xran got married (again) and the bachelor party ended with us waking up in Vegas with a wicked hangover, a missing groom, and some legal situations that took time to hush up. So we're back with a new reality check for you to cash:

HEALTH CARE REFORM: The Democrats seem obsessed with digging up every sob story about every person who ever got screwed over by an insurance company, or driven into debt by medical bills as some sort of proof that the free market has failed in the field of health care.

Except there's one problem with that little assertion:

THERE NEVER HAS BEEN A FREE MARKET IN AMERICAN HEALTH CARE

The system is regulated so that each state has specific regulations for who can operate in their state, and how they can operate. The insurance companies love this because it ensures that they can create networks of mini-monopolies, set prices at whim, and never have to worry about any real competition, because the government will actively use these regulations to block it for them.

Despite what Obama and his minions say, the opposition is not backed by some sinister insurance company cabal. The insurance companies actually support Obamacare because it protects their monopolies, gives them access to trillions in government subsidies, and has enough loopholes nestled deep within its 2000+ pages to make sure they don't have to change a damn thing about how they operate, or treat their customers.

What the insurance companies are scared of is what those pesky Tea Partiers want. I'm talking about being able to buy insurance across state lines, younger people foregoing everyday health insurance in favour of cheaper catastrophic health insurance, or the insurance companies being forced to actually compete for customers and their business.

But all Obama can do is trot out the story of the person going around with their dead sibling's dentures, because he knows, that arguing on the true merits of his seizure of 1/6 of the USA economy is a tactical blunder. There are no merits to this plan, just a lot of empty promises, and increasing debt.

I'm here to help you ACORN

Greetings puny Earthlings...

It has come to my attention that ACORN, the group that backed everything from Barack Obama's political career, to underage brothels in sting videos, is breaking up as a national organization.

Actually, that's a tad inaccurate. ACORN is merely rearranging, and renaming elements of their labyrinthine corporate structure to keep on doing that thing they do. Which is to help corrupt politicians expand their power, cripple the economy, and perpetuate class and racial differences.

So I'm now going to help ACORN find a new name, one that tells more about what they do than their old name of Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. This is because I'm the helpful sort.

Two Points To Ponder....

Greetings puny Earthlings, here are some points for you to ponder.

1. So, according to reports Abdulmutallab the bloomer bomber is talking.

Why is that being reported?

All the folks he's talking about, whether they're in Yemen or in Britain, have now gone to ground thanks to that little tidbit coming out.

In fact, there should have been no news about anything about him doing or saying anything. The moment he came off the plane he should have been whisked to a special facility where he would be made to talk in private.

Of course that didn't happen. Eric Holder just gave him some rights he wasn't due under any constitution, treaty, or barroom bet. Then, when this asinine move, among other asinine moves, like not consulting the national security/anti-terrorism apparatus, start coming under public scrutiny, they decide to tell the world that panty-boy is yakking up a storm.

If they got any dumber.... they'd all be Joe Biden.

2. The whole Global Warming boondoggle just keeps getting deeper. First came the schemin' e-mails with their overall theme of "lie, cheat, and crush all who ask questions," and now comes the glaciers. It seems that the IPCCCCCC's report on those pesky shrinking glaciers was based on a student's term paper, an article in a hiking magazine, and anything else that guy with the combover pulled out of his ass that day.

Which raises one question: Why is anyone shocked?

We're talking about people whose entire careers are based on the conceit of the baby boomers. That conceit being that the climate the baby boom generation knew in their childhood was not only the time when Earth was in perfect harmony, but that same climate was an unchanging constant for all of Earth's history.

Sorry, but that's what we in Outer Space call a big steaming pile of horseshit.

So why are people shocked to discover that anyone who believes that is not only not a scientist, but also a craven opportunist looking to profit through fear mongering.

Keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.

Here's Some Alternatives...

Greetings puny Earthlings.

It looks like President Obama has decided that pissing away hundreds of millions of dollars and endangering the lives of New Yorkers so Eric Holder could expose CIA secrets in open court, wasn't the great idea they originally thought it was. Now the POTUS is looking for alternate venues for the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his catamite cronies.

Since I'm all about helping people, and Obama seems to have a thing about closing Gitmo too, I'm going to offer these alternatives, nay solutions, for this problem.

MONSTER ISLAND

It's owned by Japan, but the Japanese are willing to lease it to the US government at a very affordable price. It's secure, at least from outside threats, and no matter the outcome of the trial, civilization wins. If he's convicted their sentence is to be tossed to the monsters, if found not guilty because someone at the CIA was mean to them, then they can be safely set free to live out the rest of their (short) lives on Monster Island.

SKULL ISLAND

This is technically a sovereign nation, but I checked with the natives, and they are very willing to sign the island over to the USA, in exchange for GETTING OFF SKULL ISLAND. Once there, it's simply a matter of tossing them over the big wall that lies between the village and the jungle.

THE VALLEY OF THE GWANGI

This requires the co-operation of Mexico, but slip someone in power a few pesos, and he'll toss you the key. This is a perfect place for the sort of medieval jurisprudence these Jihadis are so fond of. Set them off, naked and smeared with A1 steak sauce, at one end of the valley, and if they make it to the other end of the valley, then they can go free.

THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT

This is not only a good place to hold trials, but it would make a crackerjack low-maintenance prison for recalcitrant Jihadis. It's essentially a temperate lost valley hidden beneath the ice of Antarctica. Just toss them in, if they escape, then they'll freeze in the Antarctic wastelands. No fuss, no muss.

BIZARRO WORLD

This is the one planet in the Known Universe where right is wrong, and wrong is right. Come to think about it, maybe Eric Holder actually comes from this planet.... that's something to think about.

Anyway, I think these are good alternatives. So keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.

On Haiti...

Greetings puny Earthlings...

Right now aid is pouring into Haiti to help the people affected by the recent earthquake, and some folks are praying that the country will soon return to normal.

But in Haiti's case normal is shit.

I know I'm being blunt, but I have to be.

Haiti has no natural resources, no industry, and not much of anything. In fact if you're a Haitian, you are better off out of Haiti. I've dealt with many Haitians who have emigrated to other countries, and the bulk of them become decent hardworking citizens.

And that's what I'm suggesting.

After centuries of bad governments, poverty, and despair, Haiti needs to disband and its people get to join other countries. Let them start new lives in places where they might have a chance to build a life without the fear that some thug with a gun will take it away from them, or that the earth itself will smash everything on them.

It will take billions to rebuild what was destroyed. I say forget about putting up new buildings. Get the people out of there, and use the money to let them build new lives someplace decent.

What Have We Learned?

Greetings puny Earthlings.

It's hard to believe, but the wretched inhabitants of Earth have managed to get through the first decade of the twenty-first century.

Now a lot of folks like to take this time to look back at the events of the past decade, I on the other hand, being a more evolutionarily advanced creature, like to look back at what lessons we have learned.

And wow, have we learned a hell of a lot of lessons.

We have learned...

1. That the "Clash of Civilizations" is really a myth. What we are witnessing is not civilizations clashing, but civilization clashing with pre-medieval barbarism. Civilizations build up, they do not bring down, and there is nothing Al Qaida does other than tear things down.

2. Being wealthy doesn't mean that someone is a free-market capitalist. Look at how Wall Street and the billionaires who loves them, rushed to embrace the economy crippling policies of the Obama Administration. It's not because they love socialism, but because they love their own position at the top of the economic food chain.

They know that they are safe from crushing taxes, cushioned not only by the immensity of their wealth, but by the simple fact that the 1000+ page tax codes passed by their pet politicians, are literally written by their pet lobbyists, to leave loads of loopholes for them to exploit. It's not about bringing up the poor, or bringing down the rich, it's about keeping the middle class from challenging the supremacy of the super-rich. If they really were for the free market, they'd be fighting to simplify and reduce taxes because of the simple reason that it increases revenue, spurs economic growth, and starves that freedom devouring beast called government.

3. There is no such thing as an unbiased media. The mainstream press, from the New York Times, to the major TV networks have completely tossed away any pretension to being unbiased guardians of the truth. From the Great Global Warming Swindle, to the worship of Barack Obama, to the demonization of the previous administration whose sole goal seemed to be keeping the country safe, and whose attempts at bi-partisanship only served to hurt himself. There is literally an entire industry that catalogs their exercises in extreme bias, and they do a much better detailed job than I could ever do.

4. We now know what the Democrats would do once fully in power in both the White House and Congress. They would go completely ape-shit insane from their lust for power.

Look at the mad frenzy to pass society transforming legislation putting unprecedented chunks of the US economy under the control of people who can't even handle the simplest of administrative tasks. Now you're probably wondering why they would want to control so much when they can't really manage it?

It's power.

They want it, and the only way they can get it, is to lie, cheat, steal, and then use that power to make the voters completely dependent on their tax-payer funded largess. Because dependent voters are obedient voters, no matter how miserable those same politicians make their lives.

Just look at Detroit, a city that is literally dead on its feet because of the Democratic Party's "progressive" policies, but the voters there would elect a shaved wombat if they ran it as a Democrat making crazy promises. To Democrats Detroit is the perfect condition they want for the country, a wealthy elite keeping the poor obedient and contained in their state-sponsored ghettos, and the middle class either destroyed, or in exile.

I'll post more of this past decade's lessons until New Year's Eve, so keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.

Reality Check: Peer Review Or Peer Pressure

Greetings puny Earthlings.

I find it funny that those who love to call global warming doubters "sell-outs" who are in "the pay of big business" and that their research doesn't "pass peer review," because as we've been seeing with reports of hacked e-mails, there's no such thing as peer review in climate science, only peer pressure.

For those who don't know, the "Climategate" e-mail scandal is all about a plucky little devil of a hacker getting his hands on the e-mails between a Dr. Phillip Jones of the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit and senior advisor to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and Dr. Michael Mann one of the chief authors of the now notorious, and woefully inaccurate "Hockey stick graph" made famous by Warm-monger and green fear profiteer Al Gore.

Now these weren't love notes they were exchanging, these two men, the two top brains in the field of "climate research" were actively conspiring to cover-up data that proved that the so-called "global warming" was a natural, and cyclical phenomena, and that it ended in the late 1990s.

That's an affront against the very nature of science, and you're probably wondering how these chaps managed to get away with it. I mean weren't these sorts of things supposed to be "peer reviewed."

Well yes, but peer review is only as good as the peers doing the reviewing, and whether or not those peers have the testicular fortitude to resist the overwhelming peer pressure so prevalent in contemporary Earthling climate research.

You see, if you dare write anything that might question the findings of those two men and their assorted climate catamites, you will find it very hard to get a journal to publish your research, and if some plucky journal does decide to publish, well guess what happens. Suddenly word starts zipping around the "climate community" that the journal in question isn't fit for toilet paper because they dared publish some evil anti-Earth propaganda.

That's right, you'll find your career sunk by those very same men with accusations of doing the exact same things that they themselves appear to do on a twice daily basis.

Climate research isn't science, it's a high school cheerleader squad, with its ranks determined by the bitchy machinations of the squad's meanest girls who crush all who dare oppose them with slander, and innuendo until they develop an eating disorder and give up, because they can't have their voices heard.

Now you're probably wondering why these men would sacrifice all sense of scientific integrity to become nothing more than a pair of glorified whores.

The answer is simple.

MONEY & POWER

It's a deadly combination, but too much for folks to pass up.

You see to get any money to do research you have to apply to governments and corporation backed foundations. And if you don't want your application in the circular file you have to tell them what they want to hear, and what they want to hear is "Global Warming," and the more doom oriented the better.

Governments want to hear it because Warm-mongering Alarmism allows them to-

1. Gain more control of the lives of their people, using an "Obey or we're all doomed" message to regulate personal freedom into oblivion.

2. Use the "crisis" to justify massive tax hikes, even bigger spending programs, and the accumulation of massive debts, with most of the money going to...

Big corporations, who want Global Warming because it gives them...

1. An excuse to suckle at the teat of taxpayers, draining billions every year to supposedly spent on "alternative energy" programs, that don't really produce enough energy.

2. They will then use the excuse of "not enough power" to hike the price of energy, and along with it the price of literally everything you might possibly want, or need.

3. Meanwhile they race to the bottom, using the "carbon credit" status of the Third World, exploiting their resources, both natural and human, and pollute wildly, all in the name of "saving the planet.

Dr. Jones and Dr. Mann saw an opportunity and they went for it. They made themselves unassailable. The mainstream media and the current American and Western European administrations will not do anything to them. These men are the prophets of a new faith, a faith that gives them absolute control without the pesky morality that most religions come with.

So what good is peer review is climate research? Apparently it's not good at all, especially when men like those are the peers you have to submit too.

Keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.

I think I've got this figured out...

Greetings puny Earthlings.

I think I finally have Barack Obama figured out, and boiled it down to some pretty basic points.

1. He spurns allies like the British, the Polish, the Israelis, the Hondurans, and even the French when they're willing to fight, and he definitely doesn't give a rat's ass about their feelings.

2. He coddles enemies like Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Kim Jong-Il, and any other crackpot with a hard-on for hating America, Jews, and democracy in general, and he will kiss their ass to avoid giving them any offense, either real or imagined.

3. He is quite willing to fight dirty and be aggressive, but only toward Republicans and American voters who do not believe that the sun shines out of his back oratory.

4. He surrounds himself with racists, radicals, and reprobates, and is willing to suborn the constitution to award them with power and money.

5. He is the most obedient president in history, doing everything that he is told to do, by everyone else other than the American people.

6. He doesn't play the race card himself, because he has professional surrogates to do it for him.

7. He claims to be for freedom of speech, but is currently doing everything he can from FCC "diversity and localism" schemes to "net neutrality" to suppress it.

8. He claims to have a life defined by the audacity of hope, but his entire administration is scared of Fox News. Not very audacious. How can he stand up to Putin, Chavez, or Ahmadinejad when he's scared to the point of soiling his knickers by Glenn Beck?

What do all these little tidbits tell you?

Keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.

Let Me Explain Something....

Greetings puny Earthlings, Xran is on his honeymoon, again, and will be busy in divorce court for most of next week, so I thought I'd take a crack at explaining something, namely...

THE DANISH "KNOCKED UP" TOURISM AD

Folks are shitting kittens about this ad...



For those who don't want to watch the video, it's basically a woman and her baby, looking for the tourist who fathered said baby.

It's not an ad for helping single mothers, it's an ad for Danish Tourism.

Folks are freaking, they're saying it portrays Denmark as a den of inequity and fatherless children being born to blue eyed blond mothers with cheekbones that could cut glass.

That's what they want you to think.

You see, I've actually been to Denmark, and let me tell you their dirty little secret. Everyone there is a blue eyed blond with cheekbones that could cut glass. If you like variety, you're not going to get it in Denmark. Even the Danes are getting a little creeped out by their whole "Village of the Damned" aesthetic. Face it, how do you look for a lover among a crowd that all looks related?

They're looking for a little extra seasoning for their genetic soup. They tried it with immigrants from the Middle East, but they're not biting. Lord knows why, so the Danes are hoping to lure in male tourists to swipe some of their precious and genetically diverse baby batter.

So don't be offended, they're just trying to boost their gene pool.

So keep watching the skies, because we're watching you, and if any blue Danes with big heads start showing up, be nice to them.
