Ok, I’m sick of Stephen King running around making juvenile comments about politics. As far as his fiction goes, his contribution to the horror genre, I don’t care. All his movies suck, and you know it. The Shining was pretty cool, I guess, but only because of Kubrick’s brilliant hand. Not because it’s a cool or original concept or anything.

I’ve always been a Clive Barker fan myself, who oddly enough, and even though I disagree with him, never comes off as a tremendously clueless jackass when he talks about politics. He sounds like a down-to-Earth guy interested in having a conversation. Want proof? Check out Clive Barker and Ann Coulter talking with each other. But remember to ignore D.L. Hugley, who’s just a random jackass in the equation.

But back to Stephen King. I’m sick of his crap. Like it wasn’t enough that he was running around suggesting that we waterboard Jenna Bush. Yeah, great idea. It’s horrifying for liberals like King to picture Khalid Sheikh Mohammed getting some rough treatment by interrogators in order to save innocent men, women, and children from barbarous terrorist attacks.

But it’s much more acceptable for liberals to fantasize about waterboarding an innocent young woman, who has spend her working on things like UNICEF charities in Latin America and the United Nations Children’s Fund. Oh, and then she wrote a book about inspiring humanitarian work and is donating all of the profit to UNICEF.

That’s the girl who King says deserves to be waterboarded just to prove some idiotic liberal fantasy-point. Unacceptable, not funny, and demonstrative of a sick and deprived mind.

Then the bozo makes the same mistake that Kerry made just a few years ago…he insinuates that the US Military is full of illiterate apes who are too stupid and unqualified to do anything important. As if putting your life on the line to serve and protect your country isn’t one of the most selfless, noble, and character-building things a young person can do.

No, King would rather that they sit around their whole life writing thousand page books about spooky evil clowns.

And then, when he’s called on his ignorant comment, he’s not even sorry for it. He doesn’t apologize for being a condescending d-bag to the Americans that we will always owe the most to. King “fires back”:

That a right-wing blog would impugn my patriotism because I said children should learn to read, and could get better jobs by doing so, is beneath contempt…I don’t wupport either the war or educational policies that limit the options of young men and women to any one career -military or otherwise.

Here’s the thing, King. No one is questioning your patriotism. No one in their right minds would consider you anything but a foul-mouthed traitor since your deplorable comment about Jenna Bush. What we’re starting to question by now is your intelligence and your sanity.

King should just shut up already, before the government decides to waterboard him.

Well, the recent economic good news has been a welcome surprise this week. I mean, it’s not anything amazing and Americans are right to feel apprehensive. But it always helps (the economy) to look on the bright  side.

The first thing people should realize is that we are *not* in a recession. Laymen, especially journalists and pompous college campus know-it-alls, love to throw this term around. But the term “recession” doesn’t mean “an economy that isn’t doing so good.” It is defined by two consecutive quarters of negative growth. And that just hasn’t happened. The quarter that just wrapped up, the first in 2008, saw 0.6% growth in GDP. This isn’t awesome, but it’s also not a recession. Worth pointing out, at least.

And this nice article is just chock-full of positive information. Just look at the first paragraph!

Wall Street shot higher Thursday as investors, while anticipating another dismal jobs report Friday, viewed the rising dollar and falling oil prices as promising signs for the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average soared nearly 190 points to close above 13,000 for the first time since Jan. 3.

I’m not trained in economics, and frankly I find it all very confusing. But it doesn’t help for our journalists and politicians (who are probably just as clueless as me) to run around with doomsday language of imminent economic disasters. It depresses people, and then they don’t want to spend money, and that just hurts the economy more.

I thought this was amazing when I read it earlier today. The headline was innocuous enough, “5 Supreme Court Justices on White House guest list.”  So I check it out, and of course it’s obvious what five justices got invited: Scalia, Alito, Roberts, Thomas, and Kennedy. Also known as the “pro-life” justices. (with the minor possible exception of Kennedy…)

The article seems to think that those five got invited because they’re all Roman Catholic, but clearly there’s a much  bigger reason why their invitations got lost in the mail. Think about it: McCain, a Baptist, will be there. But Hillary and Obama won’t.

It’s not about religion, it’s because they’re liberals. And they don’t deserve to hang out with “Il Papa.”

I can just see Ginsburg et.al.,  grumbling, “Well we don’t want to hang out with that crazy Pope anyway!” I think it’s a good rule…you can’t hang out with the Pope if you’re part of the reason that more than a million unborn children are slaughtered by abortionists in America every year. Not to mention their tireless efforts to erase religion from American life, invent homosexual marriage, declare sodomy a Constitutional right, etcetera etcetera.

I mean, it’d just be awkward.

Unfortunately there’s an exception to every rule, and Ms. Pelosi will be allegedly attending. She better behave herself and say Grace with everyone else.

Is Berlusconi the saviour that Italy so badly needs?

Yes, he is. As stated frequently, he has already declared that he is the Jesus Christ of Italian politics. But to be fair, he was talking about how everyone loves to attack him and how he chooses to sacrifice himself for his people. And that’s true. But personally I like to believe the whole savior thing too.

By the way…is that the greatest picture of Silvio ever? “Stalin is dead”! He sure is, just like the Italian Communists. They didn’t win a single seat in the election.

I’m am absolutely stoked about how well Silvio Berlusconi did today in Italy. I was heartbroken a few years ago when he was taken out by Prodi, and have been hoping since then that he’d make a comeback. And it looks like I’ll be getting my wish! (Update: Berlusconi is Back!)

Love him or hate him, he’s still Italy’s greatest post-war leader. The only Italian politician that has succeeded in holding his government together for a full term. A self-made billionaire. And a hilarious and colorful
personality. He rules and he’s my hero.

I swear; the United States needs more politicians like Berlusconi. I wish that Bush was more like him, although the two certainly remind me of each other. This is the greatest thing I think I’ve ever heard a politician say:

The left has no taste, even when it comes to women.

The man just came out and said it. The women of the right are more beautiful than the women of the left. And it’s not just their ideas that are ugly. What balls. He’s not scared of saying anything. This is the same guy who said that he speaks Latin well enough to engage Julius Caesar in casual conversation and that he is the Jesus Christ of Italian politics.

The Economist has made trashing him their favorite past time. So what does he do? He runs around calling them The Ecommunist. He’s just hilarious. Nothing can touch him.

And as for all those allegations of corruption? Well he has an answer for that too. The judges that have  tried to indict him in the past were probably crazy. And he’s a strong enough leader to recognize this and make suggestions on how to improve the Italian justice system. They need mental evaluations. The brilliance! Could you imagine if we did that in America? Could you just imagine if Ruth Bader-Ginsburg, David Souter, and Stevens were given psychiatric evaluations? We’d have a conservative-packed court virtually overnight.

And to continue this rant about how amazing Berlusconi is, here is the topper: he has proposed a month of no taxes!

“We want to give Italians, after all they suffered under Romano Prodi, a month without taxes. It would be a month of freedom.”

Whether or not this is realistically feasible is immaterial. It’s his attitude, his spirit, and his unwavering courage to say things that no other politician will say and energize the people into appreciating their government again. Italians should be sick of the Left’s do-nothing trite nonsense for so long.

I’ll say it again. I wish that American politicians were more like Berlusconi. The sight of he and Bush is inspiring, and I hope that in a year’s time I will be able to triumphantly post a picture of him and McCain
shaking hands as they talk about the future.

…and I’ll say it again. It’s a sick goddamn world.

Pregnant Girl’s Drink Spiked with Abortion Pill.

I’m glad Absolut apologized. And it was a good apology. But it will probably be a while before I drink that brand again. They need to learn their lesson that they can’t go around exploiting anti-Americanism abroad to sell their products.

I’m sure everyone is very surprised to hear about this, but Bush biographers have confirmed my most glaring assumption about Oliver Stone’s new propaganda film “W.” They say that the script mischaracterizes and oversimplifies Bush’s presidency by painting him as a half-retarded drunk puppet of evil Cheney-Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz Neocons.

We’ve heard this story already, and it’s boring.

I smelled bullshit from a mile away when Stone claimed to want to make a “fair minded” portrayal of the Bush presidency. Yeah, like his other fair and balanced depictions of reality, like Platoon, Nixon, JFK, etc.

Just look at this imbecile.

This is the same douchebag that waited a whopping five years after 9/11 to cash in on the event. He composed the epic gay fantasy that was Alexander. And he’s been attacking Republicans via crappy movies for decades.

I’m still going to see it though, probably. I may even end up liking it, because the things that liberals claim to hate Bush for, like his passion for dismantling Hussein’s murderous regime as well as his jovial personality, I actually like.

And it’s just adorable how they’re trying to release it before November to influence the elections. Leftist Hollywood’s bizarre machinations are so predictable sometimes, its astounding.

The UK’s Daily Mail has more interesting news for us today. Check out their brief piece, “2008: The Year the World Will Cool Down.”

They make the stunningly obvious observation that the expectedly cool temperatures of 2008 (not to mention the fact that global temperatures have not risen in a decade) have led some “skeptics” to start questioning the liberal doctrine of man-made global warming. “Skeptics” here is defined as anyone with an intellectual capacity larger than their leftist political agenda.

But this statement is the best. I live for sentences like this. I mean this just says it all:

However, the World Meteorological Organisation insists that this year’s cooling has nothing to do with global climate change.

The mere sight of that sentence makes me want to give up on reading once and for all. But I think we can definitely give up on the World Meteorological Organization.

I love this picture, it’s awesome.

Here’s another piece from Daily Mail that is *definitely* worth reading. If you pay attention to the topic, then some of it will be old news. If you’re a conservative, you’ll probably be frustrated that everyone you now doesn’t understand this basic, easy to understand stuff.

But if you’re a liberal who spends their time talking to liberal friends and sucking up to liberal professors, then you’ll probably be get all emotional and close the window before finishing the whole article. It’s THAT informative! The reason for this is because it is a fair and balanced article that examines both sides of the issue, and tries to discern the non-ideological truth of the matter. And liberals aren’t used to non-ideological truths. They’re only used to having Leonardo DiCaprio and Melissa Ethridge confirm their own version of the story.

Here’s a small excerpt to pique your interest:

First, then, what is happening? Given that nowadays pretty well every adverse development in the natural world is automatically attributed to global warming, perhaps the most surprising fact about it is that it is not, in fact, happening at all. The truth is that there has so far been no recorded global warming at all this century.

The world’s temperature rose about half a degree centigrade during the last quarter of the 20th century; but even the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research – part of Britain’s Met Office and a citadel of the current global warming orthodoxy – has now conceded that recorded temperature figures for the first seven years of the 21st century reveal there has been a standstill.

The centre now officially expects global warming to resume at some point between 2009 and 2014.

Maybe it will. But the fact that the present lull was not predicted by any of the complex computer models upon which the global warming orthodoxy relies is clear evidence that the science of what determines the world’s temperature is distinctly uncertain and far from “settled”.

What I really feel like doing is block-quoting the entire article. But I’ll just trust you to read it on your own. For your benefit, and the world’s. Read. It.

Global temperatures have not risen since 1998. 

 

Natural disasters are also clearly under control. So under control that the biggest insurance company in the world is having trouble

 

So I have two words for you: “shut up.”
