Thanks. The little elephants are pretty cute. I’m just sorry that I didn’t have time to edit out Nancy Pelosi’s wrinkled butt in the background. That really ruins the picture! I don’t know how she got in there.
I sincerely hope this doesn’t happen, although I highly suspect that the Obama’s want to do this. Akin to conquering Muslims turning a church into a mosque.
This is similar to what the muslims wanted to do in New York. They wanted to build a mosque next to the WTCs awhile back. Remember why? It’s about being the “victor”.
We bought my niece a toy Nerf gun for Christmas just so she could unwrap it in front of Hubby’s liberal aunt and cousin. It was quite entertaining! Of course they thought they could shame my BIL for being a member of the NRA. Hah! Didn’t work.
I was just reading a young adult science fiction book for my blog and figured at least this one wouldn’t be global warming since the setting was the long winters of a Siberian gulag. In the afterword, the author wrote that the winter world of the story could be ours since “As you may know, a colder Europe may be one consequence of the phenomenon known as global warming.” Too bad, it won’t make the cut.
“As you may know, a colder Europe may be one consequence of the phenomenon known as global warming.”
BWAHAHAhahahahahaha!!!!!!11!!!!!!
Yeah. First thought in my mind as I wade through a foot of snow in 10degree temps is, “Damned global warming!”
Then I go sit by my wood stove, pumping all that carbon into the air…and call algore vile names.
(We knew the Gore family a long time back – and they really hated us. My mother managed to stifle some rather important social plans that they had. We always considered them to be nothing more than white trash.)
I’m just thankful they didn’t blame it on George Bush.
But really, how is Christie Hefner qualified to pontificate on these things? Her only claim to fame, as far as I know, is that she’s her father’s daughter… and somehow that makes her an expert on… what, exactly?
On nothing except running a business, I suppose, but that doesn’t apply in this case. Meghan McCain has even less reason for anyone to listen to her, but she speaks out for the same reason CH does. They’re both ignorant liberals, and liberals believe that the more ignorant you are, the more you’re obligated to shout your opinion to the world 24-7. Their father’s fame has nothing to do with it in either case except to give them the opportunity to have an audience. And, of course, their fathers probably helped make them liberals in the first place. Especially Christie Hefner. Her dad did more to liberalize our nation’s views than almost anybody else, and he did it primarily as a scam. His real motivation was just to get rich while boinking a lot of hot women. Call me crazy, but if you succeed in your dream, but you have to do it by corrupting an entire nation for 6 decades, then I think that’s still a failure. Especially since that last step on the stairway down is a doozy. Enjoy those last couple of years, Hef!
I still remember the first time I ever heard Christie Hefner speak; it was about 30 years ago. She was speaking at the National Press Club (a friendly audience, in other words), and she made the claim that Playboy was really a very pro-woman outfit, and as proof she offered the fact that Playboy was instrumental in the fight to legalize abortion. I nearly choked. Yeah, that’s pro-woman, all right. Women exist for the sole purpose of giving sexual pleasure to men, and when the man’s done using her, just vacuum her out, and she’ll be all ready to use again. Makes me proud to be a woman. Thanks, Christie.
Right. Christie really bought that “pro-woman” thing hook, line and sinker. The thing that torques me about the Playboy enterprise is the subversiveness of it. They exploited something wholesome – pretty young women – in a way that was designed from the very beginning to be exploitative and corrupting. They featured young women who were generally the products of conservative values (the bad girls ended up in other mags) in classy, wholesome pictorials next to articles that trumpeted the wonders of liberalism and the sexual revolution. The irony of it is that wherever this ideology prospered, those models would be impossible to find, because they’d all be too skanky to make the cut. They made it look like they weren’t exploiting them while throwing money and glamour at them in a way that eventually made them into fame-whores, and sometimes into actual whores, all the while pretending to be “professional” with a wink as model after model (Shannon Tweed, what’s a nice Canadian gal like you doing in THAT bed?) ended up in the sack with Hef and his photographers, eventually disappointed that they weren’t going to end up as the next Mrs. Hefner. What a racket.
And the weird thing is that it makes me kinda mad at the conservative Christian culture for not somehow figuring out how to make wholesome cheesecake more legitimate and not so “naughty” so that Playboy and the other porn-monkeys wouldn’t have such an easy gig. The post-WW2-era art of guys like Vargas and Elvgren come to mind. I have an Elvgren coffee table book in the living room that has some fairly Playboy-like art in it from the 40s-70s, but I don’t see any of it as subversive. Others might disagree. In the real world, are we ever going to see conservative magazines decked out with eye candy as ogle-worthy as Playboy alongside articles about Von Mises and Reagan? Probably not. I just hate to see the bad guys exploiting something beautiful, doing it well, and being quasi-legitimized by it. Does that make any sense?
Well depending on whether said son took after him or Memechelle, he might also have to “think” long and hard about Baseball as well since he did such a great job throwing out that first pitch in his mom jeans.

When you’re lost in the Wild,

it’s according to Hoyle

Just draw on your grit;
it’s so easy to quit:
It’s the keeping-your-chin-up that’s hard.
It’s easy to cry that you’re beaten — and die;
It’s easy to crawfish and crawl;
But to fight and to fight when hope’s out of sight –
Why, that’s the best game of them all!

Boobs. Not much else. Hell, they fired her from Playboy.

Well that is a rather succinct definition for radical feminism if I’ve ever heard one.
Right. Christie really bought that “pro-woman” thing hook, line and sinker. The thing that torques me about the Playboy enterprise is the subversiveness of it.

Very tempting, but I plead the 5″th… for now.

Brace Yourself for a Rat Infestation… EPA Bans D-Con
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/01/brace-yourself-for-a-rat-infestation-epa-bans-d-con/
Just like with the bed bugs and those damn stink bugs. Yuck! I curse you EPA!
To kill mice, an old-fashioned mouse trap works just fine for me. My cat is a good mouser, too.
I guess we should be thankful we can still have cats. In New Zealand they’re trying to make owning cats illegal.
If we ban D-Con that will eliminate the mouses in the houses problem. Thanks for the parting gift Lisa jackson.
I guess they are trying out a new slogan. Instead of a chicken in every pot they are going to use a mouse in every house.
Next the gov’t will label them an endangered species making it a crime to kill, trap or otherwise disturb them while they run through your home.
