Useless oxygen sink. Worthless even as chum (as chum, she’d poison the waters). Pass the healthscare bill in order to find out what’s in it?!?

I don’t often plug things here at twc, but in the last few years (since escaping Fatcow), I have found Bluehost to be an excellent service. Some minor bobbles once upon a time, but, fortunately, customer service speaks AMERICAN ENGLISH and has always been available and helpful.

For a nearly perfect representation of The Ø!’s tactics to impose his “healthscare plan” the cartoon posted at Mostly Cajun, All American and Opinionated yesterday would be hard to beat. Be sure to peruse some of his other posts while you’re there.

From Ryan Naraine of ZDNet, this funny:

This month’s batch of patches will NOT include a fix for the recent Internet Explorer vulnerability that was publicly discussed earlier this week. That vulnerability could allow attackers to run arbitrary code from a Web site if they could convince a user to visit the web page and then get them to press the F1 key in response to a pop up dialog box.

Microsoft has released Security Advisory 981169 with suggested pre-patch workarounds for affected IE users.

Hilarious. The M$ “Security Advisory” doesn’t, of course, issue the obvious (and effective) “fix” for the Internet exploder vulnerability: DON’T USE INTERNET EXPLODER!

Oh, those jolly pranksters at Microsoft!

It’s not so much that Congress mugging the populace is all that new; it’s just that congresscritters are becoming so much more open and bold about it. *sigh* Denny Crane had a response to muggers that I fear more and more Americans might feel moved to make (following the example of the Founders):

Oh, the Founders’ view on “mugging by government”?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Yep. Pretty much THE central reason for the Second Amendment. I hope it doesn’t come to a third American Revolution. (Ask me, if you wish, about the second American Revolution that overthrew the Constitution’s protections against a tyrannical central government… ) I sincerely hope the current effort to enslave citizens can be overthrown peacefully at the ballot box.

Friday, March 5, 2010, Hairy Eyeball Reid actually said,

I guess that “stimulus” package is working just like you’d hoped, Hairy. Of course, it’s done nothing to stimulate any sort of intelligence, human compassion or even simple common sense in you, you %$#@*!~ idiot pussbag. (I feel so much better for having raised the level of discourse several orders of magnitude above that set by Hairy Eyeball Reid.)

Multiple serial counseling sessions with Dr. Tarr and Mr. Fether are too good for this useless oxygen sink. (Apologies to other useless oxygen sinks for the insult of associating you with this worthless bag of puss..)

Washington D.C. is engaged in the biggest education project in the history of man. It is attempting to teach 300,000,000 Americans that paranoia is a skill; a skill that is the secret to a long life.

Over at Revelations From An Unwashed Brain, The Oracle issues this challenge:

By the end of 2010, Microsoft hopes to have Security Essentials in 87 countries and 33 languages. (Could you even name 33 distinct languages? I don’t think I could.)

Well, since you asked, here’s an off-the-top-o-my-head list:

English (duh), French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Polish, Lithuanian, Estonian, Russian, Georgian, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Welsh, Irish, Scots, Serbian, Albanian, Sardinian, Sicilian, Norman, Armenian, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Papuan, Maylay, Khmer, Hmong (well, the various Hmong dialects as a language group–some few Hmong live in a portion of America’s Third World County), Olelo Hawaii, Burmese, Arabic, Farsi… I think that should be well over the challenged 33 number, and if put to the test, I could (very) likely name a few more. These are just what few spring to mind.

Now, understand me well, I do not have facility in any but a very, very few of the number named, and what facility I have had in the past has waned with years’ disuse, but surely anyone who’s at all even moderately literate can come up with a similar list off the top of their heads. Surely.

Yeh, I’m calling Dylan Ratigan a racist. What’s he gonna do about it? He’s obsessed with the subject to the point of ranting in the face of a Tea Party punching bag he invited onto his show. If that’s not a racist, then the word has no meaning. Refused to alow his race-baiting questions to be answered, then accused his punching bag of refusing to answer the questions (that he himself refused to let the guy answer). Lying racist bastard.

Typical “out of the closet” Mass MEdia Podperson. As a Mass MEdia Podperson, he’s analogous to an Islamic terrorist. Where the Islamic terrorist is simply being open about his genuine discipleship of The Butcher of Medina, Dylan Ratigan is simply being open about his lying racism. The (almost) amusing thing about it is that he doesn’t even realizes he’s “outed” himself.

Just go. Read.

A very, very brief snippet:

Culture is more than superficial differences in cuisine, music, dress, or even language, though that hits closer to the mark. It is the unknown, unexamined, unquestioned principles embedded so deeply into our souls that we do not know that they are there, guiding our behavior and our thoughts without us even knowing. America’s cultural roots are deep and ancient, far older than her silly little government and far and away more powerful.

I would submit to you that not only is this true, but it explains why the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind, the Loony Left Moonbat Brigade, politicians *spit* of nearly every stripe and Academia Nut Fruitcakes seek to, at best, subvert that culture and, optimally from their view, ultimately destroy it.
