Displaying 241 To 270 Of 339 Comments Joplin’s devastation makes Minneapolis’ storm damage pale in comparison. But we got socked yesterday also. Imagine a ribbon a quarter mile wide, 5 miles long, where all the trees and power poles are twisted and broken onto the streets and houses. This scene is about 4 blocks from my house: [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2771/5749260746_0b837ec8a4.jpg[/img] I was on the highway, about a mile away, when the storm came through. I couldn’t see a thing through the blinding rain.

About an hour ago, it beeped at me, “END OF THE WORLD, 24 HOURS”. Better get my Rapture Pants pressed… » Posted By audadvnc On May 20, 2011 @ 6:55 am Thinking of the most obscure Bible text I could, I looked up Thessalonians 1, and found the perfect passage! It’s like Biblical Feng Shui, or something, except the KJV is too old-fashioned and obscure to make any sense of. So here’s the Rapture for Dummies: Paul writes to assure the Thessalonians that those who had fallen asleep in Christ would also profit from the coming of the Lord. Paul instructs them that the dead would come to life first and that they would join the living with the Lord when he comes. So, don’t worry about missing out by taking a nap, or anything. You’re in! But – expect company, the last 100 generations of ancestors are coming for breakfast. Time to break out the good china. Hors d’œuvre, anyone? » Posted By audadvnc On May 20, 2011 @ 6:51 am In statistical quality control circles, we’d consider this a “non-reporting” issue. » Posted By audadvnc On May 20, 2011 @ 6:43 am Oh, is {spit} still in business? » Posted By audadvnc On May 20, 2011 @ 6:40 am Hold on, I just found 14,000 GOP votes in the trunk of my car. Legit? Yah, of course they are – I’m the election official! What part of “official” don’t you understand? » Posted By audadvnc On May 19, 2011 @ 10:26 am Whoa! 1 Billion debt relief for Egypt?! Rollback to 1967 borders?! OK, that’s more like it! Putting your money where your mouth is; that’s some Obama Hope & Change I can get behind. Then he goes off the rails over Fatah/Hamas agreement. Oh, well… but at least he’s reaching out with an open hand instead of an iron gloved fist. » Posted By audadvnc On May 19, 2011 @ 9:44 am Propaganda alert. Syria’s troubles are terrible, but MSM celebration of their pain is disgusting. AC360 could give us footage of US drone plane bombings on a nightly basis, if it suited their agenda. » Posted By audadvnc On May 19, 2011 @ 8:03 am I recently heard (on the Jon Stewart show, so it’s gotta be true!) that people with psychopathic/sociopathic personalities tend to accumulate in positions of power and prestige. About 1 in 100 of the general population is psychopathic; about 4 in 100 top executives are. Think Hannibal Lector, with 4 Billion in the bank. WWHD? » Posted By audadvnc On May 19, 2011 @ 7:56 am We need to be able to filter out the BS of partisan propaganda from the reality of corruption that has swept over our gov’t. It’s not Obama’s fault that corporations have been allowed such power and influence over the workings of Uncle Sam, but his hands aren’t clean either. That’s just how bizness is done in DC nowadays. How can we effect a return to responsible government? Is is even possible anymore? » Posted By audadvnc On May 19, 2011 @ 7:52 am Here’s a bit of crazy from one of my fellow Minnesotans. Dan Severson is running for US Senator against responsible adult Amy Klobuchar, on the platform that the 1st Amendment doesn’t exist: “Quite often you hear people say, ‘What about separation of church and state?’ There is no such thing,” Severson told Brandon. “I mean it just does not exist, and it does not exist in America for a purpose, because we are a Christian nation.” » Posted By audadvnc On May 17, 2011 @ 10:06 am According to “that aggregator site” {spit}, the Donald has bailed on his campaign. Another day, another bankruptcy… » Posted By audadvnc On May 16, 2011 @ 10:14 am Where is all that heroin coming from? Where are the places in the world that grow opium poppies? You’d think the US Gov’t could put some pressure on those countries where opium is growing. If diplomacy fails, why not just invade them and take over the poppy fields? Oh, wait… Like Malcolm X said, it looks like another case of the chickens coming home to roost. » Posted By audadvnc On May 13, 2011 @ 8:32 am “Competition and opportunity”, heh. My company bosses just sent out a couple memos to its employees, one saying their profits are up, another saying they can’t hand out merit increases because some part of their business did not exceed expectations. So sorry, now get back to work. » Posted By audadvnc On April 29, 2011 @ 9:23 am As the quote goes in “The Screwtape Letters”: ” Oh, to get one’s teeth again into a Farinata, a Henry VIII, or even a Hitler! There was real crackling there; something to crunch; a rage, an egotism, a cruelty only just less robust than our own. It put up a delicious resistance to being devoured. It warmed your inwards when you’d got it down. Instead of this, what have we had tonight? There was a municipal authority with Graft sauce. But personally I could not detect in him the flavour of a really passionate and brutal avarice such as delighted one in the great tycoons of the last century. Was he not unmistakably a Little Man — a creature of the petty rake-off pocketed with a petty joke in private and denied with the stalest platitudes in his public utterances — a grubby little nonentity who had drifted into corruption, only just realizing that he was corrupt, and chiefly because everyone else did it? “ » Posted By audadvnc On April 27, 2011 @ 1:54 pm Divide and conquer, a time-honored strategy. » Posted By audadvnc On April 27, 2011 @ 1:44 pm They’re replaceable cogs. One wears out, or his cover is blown, and “VROOM!” under the bus he goes. To be replace by the next one. » Posted By audadvnc On April 27, 2011 @ 1:08 pm Cute. I ran across an article about the altercation between the Westboro Baptist people and the town of Brandon Mississippi: http://www.retirelikeme.com/2011/04/21/mississippi-town-destroys-westboro-baptist-plans/ Here’s what the article’s author says about Fred Phelps of the Westboro Church: Funny, I thought those guys were radical Xian theocrats; Phelps is no more a Democrat than I am a talking penguin. But the writer slips in a whopping lie, and nobody calls him on it. Why? Westboro is a bunch of attack dog fundamentalist conservatives, so bad that even most conservatives think they’re nuts. What better group to paint as Democrats? This fight was a turf war between the Theocrat crazies and friends of the the Ku Klux Klan; it has nothing to do with Dems. That’s just one example of the myriad ways that tyrants perpetrate the Big Lie to advance their interests. » Posted By audadvnc On April 27, 2011 @ 1:02 pm Another funny disconnect: Over at Rotten Tomatoes, the movie gets a 6% from the reviewers (who uniformly agree it’s an awful movie), yet the audience gives it an 85% rating – they love it! I just wonder … How many of those fans believe the story is true? » Posted By audadvnc On April 23, 2011 @ 3:07 pm Whoa, that’s strong stuff! Who is this? » Posted By audadvnc On April 20, 2011 @ 8:51 am “Character”, you say? More appropriately, it took allegiance to the Harvard/East Coast Establishment. The Top 400 are very happy with their boy’s tough choices – including extending the top earner tax cuts, and turning a blind eye to corruption at the highest levels of finance and industry; as far as they’re concerned, that’s all that matters. The rest of us can go eat grass… » Posted By audadvnc On April 18, 2011 @ 3:11 pm Certainly goes a long way toward explaining the Repug mindset… » Posted By audadvnc On April 18, 2011 @ 3:06 pm “The message rings true”. !?!? You didn’t recognize the source? Oh, that’s unfortunate. The ad has a laundry list of RNC talking points for Democratic complicity in the downfall of America: – “tax and spend”, This propaganda ad was analysed months ago – on that awful man Cenk Uygur’s TYT. And the series of parodies spawned by it got plenty of airtime on YouTube. It was a huge joke, an Internet meme. » Posted By audadvnc On April 18, 2011 @ 11:38 am Moosilla needs a comb-over manager, too! » Posted By audadvnc On April 18, 2011 @ 10:43 am There’s a raft of dead-on parodies of that RNC ad still floating around on the net. In my next life, I wanna be a talking panda! » Posted By audadvnc On April 18, 2011 @ 10:13 am Of course, Saudi Arabia has 3 ‘A’ vowels, so they’re gonna be a world of hurt, once the Repugs learn how to spell… » Posted By audadvnc On April 18, 2011 @ 10:05 am Unless you elect ME, that is.
