TEA Partiers threaten to kill opponents - video

Wait...what?  It's illegal alien supporters threatening to kill opponents with shovels and picks?


Seems the warnings about violence and extremism from Democrats and the Left were right.

Huh.

Recycling parody becomes reality

The United Kingdom has what are being termed "Bin Bullies."  Why?  Because they have nine - that's 9 - different bins for recycling household waste/refuse.


If you haven't seen it, this was parodied a few years ago on the Showtime series Penn & Teller's BS (about 7 minutes in).  They even got the number of bins right:


Follow the link above for a picture of the nine bins the UK REQUIRES (forces) its citizens to use for recycling.

The Crappy Meal

Non-solution to a non-problem: banning toys from Happy Meals since the toys could encourage obesity.  (I like the addition of the verbal auxiliary could - implying a possible outcome; an outcome based however on not one shred of actual evidence.)

Supporters say the ban would encourage restaurants to offer more-nutritious foods to kids and would make unhealthful items less appealing. But opponents believe it amounts to government meddling in parental decisions. The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors will consider the proposal Tuesday.

Yet another example of how Leftists, hell, Statists just don't get it.  People go out to a restaurant for a change of pace, to indulge in foods they don't make at home, to 'splurge' and enjoy things outside the norm.  McDonalds appeals to a large set of people not only because it's a change of pace but because it's cheap, the food isn't bad generally and...wait for it...kids like the place.  In addition here's a newsflash for the authors:  unhealthy items are appealing because they are unhealthy; they generaly taste better than 'healthy' items, get it?

I know this may come as a shock to some, especially Leftists who don't have kids, but kids don't really like broccoli and cauliflower with their meals.  A parent can get a kid to "eat healthy" every now and then, sure, but kids aren't 'built' for eating nutritionally.  Their pallets are only interested in one thing - does it taste good.  No matter how hard you look, you won't find any arugula flavored breakfast cereal marketed for kids.  Kids don't give a rats behind about the sodium or caloric content of their chicken nuggets.  All they care about is:  chicken nugget good, spinach ecch

Psychologically, McDonalds also tapped into other things kids like - toys and bright colors.  There is a reason Happy Meals come packaged as they do, a reason the boxes have colorful characters, sometimes puzzles and other activities on them and a reason for that small included toy - because kids like to play with stuff.  McDonalds recognized - and parents realized - it is a winning formula to give the kids a treat every now and again.

And in a way only a Leftist/Statist could twist logic, one of the advocates for removing the toys from Happy Meals equates the removal of said toy to not burdening a child with a lifetime of chronic illness.  I wasn't aware obesity was chronic.  Really?  If one stops shoving twinkies in their mouths, gets off the couch every once in a while and takes a walk, obesity isn't the least bit "chronic".  I guess I'll be the realist here and state the obvious:  most fat people are fat because they want to be, or through their own continued bad choices - not because of a Happy Meal toy.

Only a killjoy Leftist could turn a Happy Meal into a Crappy Meal.

CO2 actually helps plants grow - better?

Who are you going to believe?  Your own lying eyes or the UN/IPCC/EPA/Al Gore/Enviro-Wackos?  

Great video:

My own special celebration of Earth Day

Ah, Earth Day.  A day of celebration to our 'Earth Mother' Gaia.  When every Lefty who condemns Christianity as a belief in some unknown, supposedly benevolent omnipresence comes together to offer paeans to some unknown (non-existant), supposedly benevolent earthy omnipresence.  

People plant trees.  They might go and buy a Prius.  Perhaps install some solar panels (subsidized by the government, of course). The celebrators of all things 'organic', extolling the (non)virtues of fertilizing crops with horse crap.  

A day when Greenies, who hate everything Capitalistic will wait in lines to spend money further enriching James Cameron by buying his huge hit movie "Avatar."  They will pontificate (as has Cameron himself) that our world would be oh so much better if only we were more like the fictional, at one with their environment Na'vi. 

On this 40th 'Anniversary' of Earth Day, I thought long and hard about what I could do.  What would be my contribution to Mother Earth and her many denizens of nature?

After deep introspection, in an attempt to get a message from my Chi, the answer hit me like an organic tomato thrown by an 'green' anarchist at a G20 meeting.  I spread Spectracide Triazicide insecticide over my lawn to kill all of the ants, bugs and other insect pests who decided to make my lawn their home. 

If Mother Earth is going to send her insect minions into my lawn, where they then try to get into my home, they will be dealt with as any other trespassers - they will be 'shot'.

Take that Gaia.

Happy Earth Day!

Florida Rep. Alan Grayson - @$%&@!bag

He walks into a local Republican committee meeting - uninvited by the way - interrupts the meeting, interrupts the speakers, demands to be heard, demands video cameras be turned off, uses profanity towards meeting attendees, mocks local political candidates and engages in other acts of general @$%&@!baggery and at the end of the video, has the stones to play the victim and chastises/accuses these folks for/of doing exactly what he just did.

This guy is some pos piece of work.  Video:

'Climate Basics' website launched

Get real facts in laymans terms about all things climate here.

Here's a taste:
Context
  • The 30% Fraud — why humans are not responsible for 30% of the CO2 in the air.
  • The 41% Fraud — why 41% of the energy leaving the surface of the earth is not radiation.
  • Fake Mechanism — why miniscule effects high in the stratosphere do not create global warming.
  • Water Vapor Fraud — why water vapor would swamp any effects by CO2, and it cannot multiply the CO2 effect.
  • Oceans not Rising — why Antarctica is collecting more snow and ice than is melting from glaciers.

This much 'Suck' could be trouble...

Well, if this isn't evidence of the coming End Times, I don't know what is.

1980's pop star Tiffany is starring in the new, ahem, movie "Mega Piranha".  If you thought a giant shark leaping 30,000 feet into the air to bring down an airliner was completely and utterly moronic a breathtaking achievement in cinematic special effects, then strap yourself in for piranha doing the same thing to all manner of - helicopter.  (For a completely scientific - I'm not kidding - debunking of the physics involved for a giant shark to actually do this, go here)  It also looks like they (the piranha) take on a battleship.  Even though no one has battleships anymore.  But in this kind of, er, movie don't let yourself get bogged down in pesky things like details.

In one of my weaker moments, I actually watched the movie "Mega shark Vs. Giant Octopus", a precursor to the newly minted 80's pop stars starring in craptastic 'films' genre.  Yes.  I.  Did.  Not one of my better life decisions...

Anyway, not to be outdone, Tiffany, a rival of also-80's pop star Deborah Gibson (star of the aforementioned Mega Shark movie) is starring in this latest example of "What the hell were they thinking!"


As if having totally un-fabulous, poorly rendered CGI fish battling helicopters wasn't enough, could we bump up the 'kitch' factor by, oh, !!!!11!!!!elenventy?!  This film also 'stars', wait for it - Barry Williams?  AKA - Greg Brady.  Now if you're mind can survive that interstice of iconic pop cultural pap, then you my friend are ready for this movie.

More SEIU thuggery

Video.  A SEIU rep slaps a camera out of the hand, curses directly at one of their own members:  

CONTENT WARNING


These hospital folks are represented by the SEIU I suppose and were unhappy about how the union was handling some of their business.  As the cameraman says, the union rep blames the member for their problems, then attacks the guy holding the camera.

Imagine Whirled Peas

Obama signs legacy padder nuke agreement with Russia.

Yay.  Huzzah.  "Peace in our time" and all that...

I like this from Gateway Pundit:

One thing we can all agree on about President Obama… He focuses his attention where it is needed least. Americans want jobs – He nationalizes health care. Americans see an emerging threat in nuclear Iran – He signs a nuke agreement with Russia.

Word.

CNN wonders why it's in ratings toilet

As word breaks about a new "shoe bomb" attempt, Headline News is knee deep in a discussion about the ongoing 'drama' with TV morons Jon and Kate Gosselin.  CNNs Anderson Cooper is talking about the RNC, Michael Steele and strip clubs.  To be fair, it took Fox News almost an hour to get something on the their news crawler.

Twitter had the info about an hour ago.  Within minutes it was all over the blogosphere.  Only within the last 20 minutes (as I type this) have some other networks put up stories - on the 'net, not on TV.

The wonders of so-called 'new media' never cease to amaze...

This ain't no TEA Party

How else would you expect a group of "9/11 Truthers, Code Pinkers, socialists, communists, anarchists and pro-terrorist, anti-Israel" folks to act?


These are also not TEA Partiers:


Yet, here we have direct evidence of actual TEA Partiers assaulting an African-American reporter - with smiles and friendly e-mails. *
