Franken v. Davis (Lanny)

Al Franken attacked Lanny Davis while interviewing him on Thursday, taking him to task for his letter to the Wall Street Journal accusing the French, bloggers, and Sen. Lieberman's opponents of anti-Semitism. It frightens me when the French demonstrate that they have spines. I hope Our Leader finally revokes the remnants of the First Amendment like he's done with the others.

I took the audio from that interview and recreated the event by adding pictures and video.

Support the Troops

A couple of the General's finest soldiers, Seattle Dan and Seattle Tammy, are holding a book signing for Adam Felber's new book, Schrödinger's Ball. Although I enjoy hearing Felber on National Publicumistoslamist Radio's Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me! I suspect he's French, and if it wasn't for the umlauts in the book's title, I probably wouldn't be giving this event publicity.

Anyway, you can hear Felber read from his book at 7 PM on Saturday. Sept. 23rd at Seattle Dan and Tammy's place, Jackson Street Books, 2301 So Jackson St in Seattle. They'd also be happy to ship you a book. All you need to do is call them at (206)324-7000.

On the road

I'll be traveling as soon as I finish uploading a video for tonight's post. I'll try to post again tomorrow, but if any of the guestbloggers would like to post, please feel free to do so.

The Astroslamunist Menace

Fighting keyboarder Mike Janitch alerts us to an Astroslamunist plot to mock America by renaming former planetary candidate Xena, "Eris."

Come on! The only obvious thing is that he was taking a cheap shot at world affairs (and one can only assume at the USA). Why assume the anti-war vibe? Because of his own statements, coupled with the fact that he is from the California Institute of Technology.. located in far west Moonbat country.

Smashing Left-Wing Scum with 14 inches of cold, rigid steel

Zachary Nuncio
GOP Candidate
Michigan State Senate

Dear Mr. Nuncio,

You're a rare breed of legislative candidate, a man who isn't afraid to celebrate his the more primitive elements of his masculinity. Indeed, you appear to be a proudly violent man. The photos of you receiving "personal combat" training in the "mom's basement" offices of Smash Left-Wing Scum! bear witness to that.

I'm also very happy to see that you're working hard to end Michigan's handgun registration laws. I think it's important that the most violent men in our society lead this fight. It scares the hell out of the opposition, causing them to think twice before they make any jokes about Freud, caliber, and barrel length.

Do you already own a handgun? I bet you do, and I bet it's a .50 cal Desert Eagle with a custom barrel measuring a long, hard 14 inches, just like mine. Have you given your Desert Eagle a name? I call mine Brutus Reamaticus.

Man, I love shooting that weapon. I try to make it last as long as possible. I gently tease the trigger, allowing anticipation to grow exponentially as the seconds roll by until, finally, the trigger finds release on its own, detonating the primer, igniting the powder, and driving that 350 gr wadcutter hard, down 14 inches of hot, rigid steel, and ultimately exploding out of the muzzle with God-like power.

Then, I usually have a cigarette.

Heterosexually yours,

Gen. JC Christian, patriot

Celebrate Tractor Repair Efficiency Gains!

Rep. Dennis Hastert
Speaker of the House

Dear Speaker Hastert,

You were magnificent yesterday. The way you imposed your will upon the House, forcing through important legislation preserving the Lake Mattamuskeet Lodge and naming the post office on 40 South Walnut Street in Chillicothe, Ohio was a sight to behold. But today, you face an even more important legislative task, the passage of a resolution praising yourself for your contributions to the Eternal War against Terror.

It's a good resolution, and I'm glad that you began it by stating "the nation is safer than it was back in Sept. 11, 2001." I also like the part where you list all of the legislation you've passed to protect us from terrorism by encroaching on our more troublesome civil liberties.

Unfortunately, you failed to include anything praising the work you've done securing victory in Iraq. That's a huge oversight. It suggests that you're ashamed of your contributions to the war effort, and it feeds into the public's perception that we're losing over there.

Thankfully, you still have time to amend the resolution to include language praising our greatest accomplishment in Iraq, breaking the record for repairing tractors during wartime. Yes, it's true. According to CENTCOM we've repaired 1,437 Iraqi tractors. That beats the Soviet's old record of a thousand ATZ-NATI (Altair Tractor Plant Institute of Motor and Tractor Scientific Research) tractors produced at the height of their piddly little Great Patriotic War.

Like all stories about progress in Iraq, this one was ignored by the media when CENTCOM first reported it in March, but it's a story that must be told. And what better vehicle for doing so than a resolution praising the Patriot Act for making us safer?

I've taken the liberty of writing the amendment for you. All you need to do is place the following language in the resolution:

We praise Our Leader and his faithful Speaker for their glorious achievement of increasing tractor repair efficiency in the Occupied Territories.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Heterosexually yours,

Gen. JC Christian, patriot

The unbearable shrillness of bleating

I consider the Confederate Yankee to my protégé,.* I think he, more than anyone other than Pamela Altas Shrugs (who is a not-man), has what it takes to stand in for me should carpal tunnel or an infected hangnail stop me from performing my duties in the War Against Islamunistofascism. That said, even I'm embarrassed by his shrill, over-the-top, Patriot Day post.

Day of Denial

Today more than any other in the past five years, the Left continues to reveal how much they despise the essence of America.

They continue to mock the moment when our President found out that a sneak attack broader in scope and scale than Pearl Harbor was under way. They mock him for showing the same shock and dismay we all felt. They mock him for being moved near to tears as the realization set in that thousands of innocent Americans were dead or dying and that he, the most powerful single man on the planet, was powerless to stop it.

They belittle our pain as a nation, as if only those who had direct friends and family die had a right to grieve, feel pain, or remorse, or anger and resolve.

They lash out against those who do remember what happened under that bright blue September sky, and preemptively lash out against those who would remember future attacks before they've even come to pass.

They refer to memorial services as pornography, and seek to belittle every remembrance, every solemn moment, every tear, every voice raised in anger.

Well, not every voice.

They have plenty of time for their rage and anger. Anger that their peace and love and puppies plan for world peace came crashing down along with aircraft aluminum and structural steel and glass and human bodies that day in Manhattan, Washington, and Shanksville.

Five years later, American Democrats have more hate in their hearts for their own President than they do for the terrorists that killed almost 3,000 of their countrymen. They refuse to confront terrorism. Some would rather blame America and the world they think they understand, rather than face up to the fact that the world we all thought we knew was just an illusion. They are in catastrophic psychological denial, and cannot face the fact that "the other" they have spent their lives providing moral equivalence for were the ones who attacked our country.

It is so much easier to blame Bush than face the fact that we were attacked because we are the beacon of freedom for the world, and the greatest threat to radical Islam. It is so much easier to blame Bush, than realize that decades of denial led us to that horrific moment. If they can only blame Bush for that day--?and every day since that their worldview has been shown to be vapid, self-serving, and a fraudÂ?then their denial can go on, and "reality-based community" can continue to live in a world that has refuses to learn, to adapt, to change.

The Left refuses to learn from 9/11 and knows no way forward. It is why they grasp so insistently to the past, clinging to what was and what might have been, instead of moving forward to forcefully determine what should be and what must be done to secure our freedoms for the future. It is they that childishly insist for the "Perfect War" theory, stating a belief that any war not fought with perfect foresight and accuracy is wrong, while knowing securely no war has ever met their standard.

They show that they hate the present and don't understand the lessons of the recent past. They strive for stagnation and stasis and blaming ourselves, but they offer no hope for the future.

They blame Americans for radical Islamic plans for world domination. They vilify our troops instead of the terrorists they fight. They attack western governments fighting for freedom instead of eastern governments and the terrorists they sponsor that are fighting for oppression and destruction of our way of life.

The Left offers America and true liberalism a death sentence, seeking to repeat the failed policies of 30 years in denial.

We will not listen to them again.

That, perhaps, is their greatest fear of all.

*Yes, I'm employing those semi-erect e thingies Bérubé uses to mock me, but I only do so to express solidarity with Our Leader after his speech last night.

Olbermann II

Watch it.

I bet the damned French will try to reward him again by buying his book.

Happy Patriot Day

So is everybody celebrating the anniversary of the day Our Leader hit the trifecta?

FEMA has the holiday spirit.

My inner Frenchman thinks the best way to celebrate it is to listen to ani difranco's poems, Grand Canyon (audio file) and Self Evident (audio file).

That's it for me. I'm still burned out from working on that video all night. I think I'll watch The Wire then go to bed.

The Propagandists

I stayed up all night creating the opening credits for a TV show featuring the people behind The Path to 911. I hope the folks at Disney and ABC appreciate it.

Updated: I repaced the old embedded video with a cleaner one. It's a big file so those of you who don't have broadband might prefer the fuzzier lower-bandwidth version.

Standing firm

Those toadies at Disney know who's the boss.

The General salutes Mr. Rove for refusing to give up a key part of our electoral strategy.
