Like how I skip the President's weekly radio address. Don't think I've ever listened to a single one of the things. . . any old way, this week, by way of The Poor Man: Remember Who The Base Is, the dirty vicar sketch President's Radio Address:

For ages, in every culture, human beings have understood that traditional marriage is critical to the well-being of families.

Well, ok, I cut a lot out. If you have a high tolerance for talk of protecting and preventing and activist judges, hit the link and knock yourself out. The whole thing was over the top, but that bit I did quote. . .

It's the "every" sort of breaks the spell. Since just one attested example of polyandry

In social anthropology, polyandry refers to a marital practice in which a woman has more than one husband simultaneously.

In rural regions of India, Nepal, China (in particular, Yunnan province), and surrounding nations, fraternal polyandry, in which two (or more) brothers marry the same woman, is culturally accepted. Polyandry is also the accepted norm in a few African societies.

sort of disproves that.

Which doesn't mean our President is lying, mind you. Just that he was given bad intelligence. This happens to him a lot.

There were other examples I could have used for this, of course. And I could'a pounced on this this instead:

When judges insist on imposing their arbitrary will on the people, the only alternative left to the people is an amendment to the Constitution -- the only law a court cannot overturn.

But I'm sure the NAACP or Congressional Black Caucus would have mentioned the same issues to him, when he spoke with either group.

I'd say I can't wait to vote against him (rather than for Kerry, more's the pity) in November, but it looks like I might have to wait. So much good news lately.

Like they don't deserve contumely and ire?

Saw the category heading and just had to have fun with it.:)

No, I haven't read the other entries, I'm doing this blind. No, I'm not going to say anything about the propriety of letting 'guests' give the blog owner a bad rap. Nor am I going to shill Mythusmage Opines. What I am going to do is ask...

What's with all the boobs on tv?

No, not that kind of boob. All the boobs ranting endlessly on Janet Jackson's half a rack. You'd swear these twits have never seen a breast in their lives.

"Ooh, she showed her titty! Let's see that again!"

[utter indifference]
How exciting.
[/utter indifference]

Nice to know there's utterly nothing else going on in the world. Anybody remember when we achieved utter peace and harmony? And why wasn't I told?

I'll bet you this sort of thing wouldn't happen if the news business hired adults.

Ok. The bastards win. I've tried, but I just can't hang. Ain't no way the Focus can carry all the crap I've accumulated, but the sun ain't setting on me in Minneapolis this evening. Sorry, Hanne, I'll try to catch you on the flip side.

One of the things motivating this desire to motorvate?

LILEKS (James) The Bleat:

But the Castro-worship just fascinates me. Why? Some applaud the way he thumbs his nose at the US, which always strikes a certain crowd as the hallmark of integrity; if you wrap your derision in the big red flag you'll always have a claque of bootlickers eager to excuse whatever you do. (The enemy of my enemy is my President for Life.) The usual gang of collectivists admire the way he organizes society from the top down to the city block, because they love power; they love force; they have a romantic attachment to anyone who uses the cudgel to hasten the arrival of heaven on earth. My favorite defense, though, is "free health care" and "literacy."

Yep, health care is seriously overrated. Why, even the paper Lileks writes for says so:

The number of Americans without health insurance was back on the rise last year as soaring health-care costs and higher unemployment rates reversed two years of gains, according to a Census Bureau report being released today.

The number of uninsured reached 41.2 million people, up 1.4 million from 2000. Overall, the share of uninsured Americans grew last year to 14.6 percent, up four-tenths of a percentage point from 2000.

[. . .] Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, a health-care consumer group, said the trend "all but guarantees that the number of uninsured people will skyrocket in the next few years." Chief among the causes, he said, are rising health-care costs, state cutbacks in Medicaid, unemployment increases and employer decisions to pass along most costs to workers.

Uninsured rates varied dramatically across the nation. In a three-year average measurement of people lacking health insurance for the entire year, Rhode Island had the lowest rate, at 7.2 percent. New Mexico was highest, at 23.2 percent.

[. . .] Medicaid, the state-federal partnership that provides coverage to many poor people, picked up much of the slack.

But that surge has proved extremely costly to many state budgets, and governors and state assemblies have been moving to limit those losses.

For "limit those losses" read "let people die."

Hard to track, yes -- can you say for sure that someone would have lived if they'd seen a doctor earlier, instead of waiting until the last minute and heading to the emergency room? -- but that's one of the benefits of our system. It's hard to quantify some of the shitty stuff. Convenient, no?

On the other hand, breast augmentation surgery is at an all-time high. See? Our system works for the important things.

And it ain't even worth talking about the Cult of Personality surrounding the unelected frat boy in the White House. How many rounds of "rope-a-dope" is the guy supposed to be willing to take?

Back to Lileks:

Take the second one first. There's no excuse for not being literate in America. Oh, we could impose literacy on the illiterate here, but it wouldn't be pretty. We could make English proficiency a requirement for jobs, institute nationwide standards for graduation that mandated a high degree of literacy - and made the students' fulfillment of those standards a criterion for advancement in the educational establishment.

I'm not sure what to say to that, other than suggesting that maybe, ju-u-u-st maybe, the man should move outside the suburban white middle-class circle he clearly hangs in. After all, that almost sounds like he doesn't think limited English proficiency or illiteracy are problems for people seeking jobs or attending school in this country.

Spare me the jokes about your Chinese calculus TA. Heard 'em, didn't find 'em funny the first time. And isn't there a movement to make English the Official Language? Or did they kill themselves the last time a comet flew by?

I can never keep all them cults straight.

Have to leave what little furniture there is behind, obviously. The futon is the standard, cheap frame and the pad is probably due to be replaced anyway, it's been a little over a year. The kitchen table and chairs are from Ikea, so I'd spend more in gas moving them that it'd be to get another set. . .

Hardly worth fucking bothering with.

Over at Right Wing News, John Hawkins introduces a series of quotes from prominent African Americans -- I'd hardly call Louis Farrakhan a civil rights leader, but what do I know? -- with the following:

Since the 1960's the Civil Rights Movement has grown into a loathsome parody of itself. A movement that was once defined by Martin Luther King's fight against intolerance and unjust laws is today known for shakedowns of major corporations, never ending claims to victimhood, the Reparations Movement, institutionalizing discrimination against whites, anti-semitism, divisive racial rhetoric, & virulent denunciations of anyone who dares to disagree with their agenda.

Personalizes a very collective struggle -- marches? boycotts? any of this ringing any bells? -- with the center someone who is very dead, and whose legacy has been reduced to a snippet of the "I Have a Dream" speech. Great start, that.

And every time a right-winger uses an agentless passive, such as "is today known," God kills a kitten. Known by whom, fuckwit? Other than you and your crew?

But wait. It gets better.

Fortunately, men like Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, David Horrowitz [sic] , Bill O'Reilly, Alan Keyes, Clarence Thomas, Larry Elder, & Jessie Lee Peterson among others have spoken out against the hate speech, inequality under the law, & group think that has come to be identified with the Civil Rights movement today.

I'll pay for that sic by screwing something up in this very entry, I just know it. . . but no matter how you spell it, Horowitz isn't exactly toning down the rhetoric, and HorowitzWatch details his association with American Renaissance, although they admit his views and those of AmRen don't really align. If it's any consolation, I still think the man is an asshole.

As for the rest of the rogues gallery, I'm sure I wouldn't dislike them so much had I not been brainwashed by the Democratic Party and the NAACP using orbital mind-control lasers. If I were capable of making up my own mind, of course I would recognize the brilliance of Alan Keyes, Walter Williams and false, fleeting, perjured Clarence Thomas.

This holds for much of the community, unfortunately. The popularity of these gentlemen is nowhere near where it should be. Just take a pole.

No, I spelled that right. Take a pole, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways, and ram it up your candy ass.

I added the links in that quoted text, by the way. You shouldn't notice where most of the columnists appear. It's not the sort of thing you want to think about.

And all the demons have blogs.

Max Power:

HAVE THE PALESTINIANS decided to join the ring of civilized peoples? This New York Times analysis is cautiously optimistic.

And this is the. . . person I'm, supposedly, debating the Central Park jogger case with.

Right. Gee, are black people part of the ring of civilized peoples? Just the Westernized ones in the U.S.?

And I note that, following the lead of Mister Charlie, again the name of the site is used rather than. . .

Screw it. Will somebody please reboot those things?

From the America-haters at the Independent News:

But yesterday, two-thirds of the way through his virtual declaration of war, there came a little, dangerous, telltale code, which suggested that President Bush really does intend to send his tanks across the Tigris river. "The United States has no quarrel with the Iraqi people,'' he said. In the press gallery, nobody stirred. Below us, not a diplomat shifted in his seat. The speech had already rambled on for 20 minutes but the speechwriters must have known what this meant when they cobbled it together.

Before President Reagan bombed Libya in 1985, he announced that America "had no quarrel with the Libyan people.'' Before he bombed Iraq in 1991, Bush the Father told the world that the United States "had no quarrel with the Iraqi people''. Last year Bush the Son, about the strike at the Taliban and al-Qa'ida, told us he "had no quarrel with the people of Afghanistan". And now that frightening mantra was repeated. There was no quarrel, Mr Bush said – absolutely none – with the Iraqi people. So it's flak jackets on.

In fact, that's not just from the Independent, it's the work of the supreme America-hater himself, Robert Fisk The man whose name is synonymous with. . . well, with stupid fucking crackers spewing their ignorance across computer screens worldwide. And Osama Claus did not see fit to have his elves fly a plane into a single one of them. I don't get it. I was good. I kept the spirit of 9/11 in my heart all the year 'round. And still I get the equivalent of coal in my stocking.

As for their president's speech, I imagine that if I believed the US had the moral authority to declare the UN "irrelevant" I'd be applauding it as forceful or brilliant or something equally unimaginative. Since, like the majority of the planet, I'm actually sane, I found it arrogant, hypocritical and infuriating.

However, might makes right and white makes right, so yay Bush. Celebrate by sharing some crack with your niece or something.

Fair warning for Conservative/Libertarian fuckheads: this article appears in the Guardian (although it's an AP wire story), and may be safely ignored.

Dumbasses.

Guardian Unlimited | World Latest | Black Officers Seek Rape Case Review

NEW YORK (AP) - A group of black police officers is asking federal authorities to look into the investigation of the 1989 beating and rape of a female jogger in Central Park, saying police may have been ``overzealous'' in pinning the crime on five teenagers.

[. . .] Lt. Eric Adams, head of One Hundred Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, said he would ask the United States attorney's office to review the case.

``We believe that because of the demand to bring someone to justice from this crime, we believe that there is a strong possibility that there may have been overzealous policing and overzealous prosecuting,'' Adams said.

Even if you trust the AP (after all, they're no 'mercan-haters like Reuters), we can discount the comments of Lt. Adams, since he's black, and therefore places racial solidarity above dedication to the truth.

I mean, you know how those people are.

Why, just ask the totally unbiased and open-minded sorts at the Manhatten Institute:

Cops — black, white, Hispanic, you name it — scratch their heads at the seeming priorities of the so-called community. "There can be 50 shootings of civilians, and no one will protest," marvels John Hayward, a fast-talking community-response officer from the Philadelphia department. "If a cop shoots one person, everyone's demonstrating. If you protest against us, why don't you protest against the drug dealers?"

Surely the cops would get more support from the community if their moral authority were not constantly under siege from left-wing activists within and outside police departments. Lt. Eric Adams of the NYPD has made a media career for himself by testifying against the department before every camera he can find, as the self-appointed head of a mysterious organization called One Hundred Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care.

Every time Adams says something negative about the police, observes Wilbur Chapman, the NYPD's chief of patrol during the 1990s, the department loses blacks who are "on the fence," whether as witnesses or potential recruits. "There's no voice to say:, 'This is not the reality,'" says Chapman. (Adams did not return my calls.)

Oh, that wacky Heather Mac Donald.

Setting back racial progress every time she so much as looks at a keyboard.

You don't need to change that many words, really.

It's pathetic when someone plays the anti-American card to try to quell real debate. Can't argue with the facts? Then just call the other guy anti-American. It's easy, it's quick, and it makes opponents feel all ashamed. Except, that's become such a cliche, it's all but meaningless except to politicians and corporate cowards. It's also dishonest, cowardly, lame, childish, weak, foolish, ignorant, vile, absurd and just plain stupid.

That's James Hudnall again. Way with words, that one.

The words I changed, by the bye, were "racist" to "anti-American" and "whitey" to "opponents". The last one is weak, I admit, but I couldn't come up with anything suitable. LIE-berals? EU-rocrats? Pathetic. Also lame, childish, weak, foolish, igno-- never mind.

Did a search of the site, and most uses of "whitey" are actually me quoting someone else. Usually a white someone else. I don't know any black people who use the term regularly, to be honest.

But, y'know, why argue with the facts?

F'r instance:

Across the village, sharp explosions were detonating in the courtyards and doorways of the little homes. "The Americans were throwing stun grenades at us and smoke grenades," Mohamedin recalls. "They were throwing dozens of them at us and they were shouting and screaming all the time. We didn't understand their language, but there were Afghan gunmen with them, too, Afghans with blackened faces. Several began to tie up our women our own women and the Americans were lifting their burqas, their covering, to look at their faces. That's when the little girl was seen running away." Abdul Satar says that she was three years old, that she ran shrieking in fear from her home, that her name was Zarguna, the daughter of a man called Abdul-Shakour many Afghans have only one name and that someone saw her topple into the village's 60ft well on the other side of the mosque. During the night, she was to drown there, alone, her back apparently broken by the fall. Other village children would find her body in the morning.

That's arch-villain Robert Fisk, writing about our actions in Afghanistan. The warbloggers deal with things like this by insulting him and demanding that no one bore them with tales of civilian deaths among the lesser races.

Sorry about that, for any of you reading. I expect I should add categories, and allow visitors to filter out things they don't want to hear.

Though you seem to handle that fairly well on your own.

Anyone heard the phrase "of the black persuasion" recently? Or ever?

That's James Hudnall. I don't think he likes me very much. Couldn't even be arsed to get my name right, in fact.

In his biography, he lists Alan Moore as an influence. Not Alan's politics, apparently.

Speaking of whom, Alan's co-creators on TOP TEN, Gene Ha and Zander Cannon, are interviewed/profiled in this week's City Pages. There's also a bit on the upcoming spinoffs, The 49ers and Smax the Barbarian:

These are the opening images of The 49ers, a graphic novel that is a prequel of sorts to a series called Top 10 (published by America's Best Comics). The original series was an industry favorite, winning an Eisner Award for "Best New Series," the comic industry's highest accolade. Not coincidentally, Top 10 was scripted by one of the most celebrated writers in the comics industry, Alan Moore.

This new miniseries, The 49ers, is set midway through the last century, in a universe where everybody boasts a superpower of one kind or another. Ha has filled each frame with characters from the era, some terribly obscure. In one frame, for example, stands Big Chief Wahoo. This 1936 creation of Allen Saunders debuted in a parody of Western comics, but eventually--almost inexplicably--transformed over the years into Steve Roper and Mike Nomad. (King Features still distributes this daily comic strip of international intrigue to about 50 newspapers, minus Big Chief Wahoo, of course, the times being what they are.) Chief Wahoo lives on in name as the embattled mascot of the Cleveland Indians, a wide-smiled, red-faced, feather-bearing caricature. But Saunders's Wahoo, who sported a beaten ten-gallon cowboy hat, a bandoleer, and pigtails, is long gone--except, of course, in Gene Ha's pencil drawing, superimposed upon a vaguely industrial American city in the 1940s, which is probably where he belongs.

Big Chief Wahoo is not the most interesting character in the frame, however. He is hidden in the background, barely visible in a crowd scene. Instead, the story follows around a tall, somewhat mysterious, handsome-visaged doughboy who looks something like a thin Ben Affleck. "Do you recognize him?" Ha asks.

Of course. The character is the likeness of Zander Cannon, who just now sits opposite Ha. Cannon, who is 29 years old, is also bespectacled, and he wears a blue Giant Robot T-shirt. It is Cannon's downtown Minneapolis office we are in (he shares it with fellow comic-book artist Vincent Stall). Ha often draws the images for his comic-book characters from live models, and for the shady main character in The 49ers, he has chosen Cannon, a sort of a tribute to the fact that the two collaborated on illustrating Top 10.

It's entirely too well-written a piece to be about comics, or to be appearing in City Pages, for that matter. Another sign of the End Times, I expect.

Speaking of which (I'll learn a new transitional technique one day, I swear), over at die puny humans, Warren passes on advice on, um,

1. Wash or wipe your hands clean with a moist towellette.
2. Adjust clothing. Pants should be pulled down in front a few inches. Skirts should be lifted. Underwear should be pulled down at the waistband or move the fabric at the crotch to one side.
3. Wipe your labia area clean.
4. Using either hand, make a “V” with your first and second finger and spread the inside of your labia minora. (the INNER lips) Beginners may want to try using the fingers from both hands for better control.

Never mind. He blames Sabina Ex Machina, but he's the one who. . . well, yes, I did the same thing, but it's a smaller excerpt. So there.

Ah me. Perhaps Mr. Hudnall is right when he claims, "Hawk should try out for the Olympics if they ever come up with a track and field game for running bullshit."

Charming.

So, those irrepressible scamps at Jewish Task Force (who I liked better when they were called Science Hebrew Team Gatchaman -- and I have a feeling I will regret making this joke) reveal the Truth about Black "History" Month Propaganda:

The United States Constitution prohibits the establishment of a national religion. For this reason, JTF strongly objects to the unconstitutional establishment of America's "national religion" since the 1960s: worshiping blacks.

In January of every year, we have a national holiday honoring a Communist white-hater and Jew-hater named Martin Luther King. All of our Presidents combined get only one holiday. But Martin Luther King, by himself, receives this honor. And King is actually honored more than the Presidents. For Presidents' Day has merely become a day for commercial sales and bargains. On King's holiday, on the other hand, no store would dare to advertise sales and bargains. Because his "holiday" is so sacred.

Every February, we now have Black "History" Month. No other people in the United States receive such recognition. Prior to white colonists coming to black Africa, the blacks had never established a single school, any written language, any mechanical or technical invention or anything else of value. Other than putting plates in their mouths, wiping themselves with leaves, picking insects out of their hair and eating them and living in huts held together by human excrement -- other than these great "accomplishments," blacks never achieved or invented anything. Yet we are now told that they have some sort of celebrated "history."

I keep telling myself this isn't meant to be a hilarious, over-the-top parody of a racist web site, but rather an actual racist web site. Doesn't work. I keep laughing anyway.

We know that what we are saying here is extremely controversial. The truth is always controversial.

Uh-huh. Weird, putting those two sentences together, you'd think they were suggesting some relationship between them, but other than proximity, I just don't see one.

Oh well, Meryl Yourish has a new essay up, and Amish Tech Support keeps on keepin' on.

They're not quite as funny, though.

Answer:

Kim du Toit was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. Kim emigrated to the United States in 1986. [. . .] Kim, proudly, became a U.S. citizen in 1989. Having fled the liberals in Chicago, Illinois, Kim now lives in north Texas. He still hates Mayor Daley.

Question: Who the fuck would write this shit?

Lest anyone forget, the sainted Nelson Mandela's African National Congress party is essentially Communist. This is one reason why Mandela was imprisoned for so long (apart from his being a self-confessed terrorist, of course), and why the ANC were hounded out of South Africa.

Mandela was released, open elections were held and the ANC came to power. People held their breath, expecting the Blacks to wreak vengeance on the Whites for the years of apartheid-- and largely because of Mandela, who had become a lot more pragmatic while in prison, this never happened.

That whole "wreak vengeance on the Whites" notion is sounding better and better these days. Darn shame I'd be spending this period keeping idiots from vengeancing themselves on friends & family. Otherwise, I could probably get a PS2 during the looting.

Democratic party pulls head from ass, looks around:

Impact of McKinney Loss Worries Some Democrats (washingtonpost.com)

Black and Jewish political leaders voiced concerns yesterday that the defeat of Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.), a critic of pro-Israel policies, by a challenger receiving extensive Jewish support might intensify ill feelings between two important Democratic constituencies. Any increase in tensions between Jewish and African American voters, political activists said, could damage Democratic hopes of taking back the House and keeping control of the Senate.

[. . .] Although both Majette and McKinney are African American, the unusual interest in their primary by pro-Israel groups backing Majette and by pro-Muslim groups backing McKinney triggered talk yesterday of a potential for sharpened conflicts between blacks and Jews -- in Georgia and elsewhere.

Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Tex.), chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, said that "at the grass roots" among African American voters, there is a growing perception that "Jewish people are attempting to pick our leaders. . . . There is some concern about that. It's concern about any candidate being targeted by a special-interest group for voting on any one issue."

Next, Democratic Party realizes sun rises in East, sets in West, after repeated observation of phenomenon.

That quotation from Johnson "set off" something named Mitch Weber. Why? He doesn't say. Just that:

That's precisely the sort of remark that turned me against the ACLU. Some people - yes, people, not just statements - are too vile for First Amendment protection.

Uh-huh.

He also wrote, a few days before:

In a related story, I recently noticed, after three years in New Haven, that one of our busiest intersections - College and Chapel - is named in honor of Desmond Tutu. Has anyone ever boycotted a street corner before?

Known of his existence for all of five minutes, and already I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. Think that's a new record.

Well, that didn't take long. Cheerfully linked by InstaPundit, who can't seem to give up on Cornell West or Cynthia McKinney either, VodkaPundit writes of our supposed allies in Saudi Arabia:

Like that twisted ex-girlfriend you can never completely detangle from, the Saudis will perform some very sweet gestures, cause a lot of grief, and sometime down the road, force us to come in and pick up the pieces of their shattered selves.

I want to work the check-in table at the warblogger convention. I shall give them all nametags which read, "Hello, My Name Is Fucking Ignorant Het White Male Oppressor". Might be a bit confusing at first, but I'm confident they'll work out some system.
