Our Wacky World—12/23/2012

Rat News—Galapagos rats marked for death. Thanksgiving news—the usual bullshit:

"But James Mabe, the manager of that 800-worker House of Raeford plant in West Columbia, S.C that reported no musculoskeletal disorders over four years, had an explanation for the apparent immunity of the company’s employees from these injuries that are so common for everyone else in the industry.. 'Hispanics are very good with their hands and working with a knife. We’ve gotten less complaints,' and 'It’s more like a natural movement for them.'"

Some interesting videos came my way recently. Here's one of Bigfoot talking. It's amazing how much it sounds like the sort of noises you can make with a toy mic and an old cassette tape recorder. They mis-spelled "existence" in the link, BTW. 

Check out the ice fishing in Finland.

Today is Black Friday. Here's the perfect Xmas gift. And Anonymous is claiming that they hacked Karl Rove's computer network and prevented voter fraud. If it's thats true it would be the perfect Xmas gift.

*facepalm*

Remember Tia Tequila? Neither do I, except as a name that floats by on the Interwebs at rare intervals. Regardless of whatever she was before, she is now a full-tilt flavor-ade drinker:

"FULL DISCLOSURE ON REPTILIAN BLOODLINE WHOM STILL RULE OUR WORLD TODAY! FIND OUT WHO AMONG US ARE OF STILL REPTILIAN!!TUNE IN MY RADIO SHOW AND THIS TIME IT IS NOT INTERRUPTED SINCE I PRE-RECORDED SO “THE OTHERS” CANNOT CUT ME OFF!!!! "

This is from her "temporary" blog (warning—woo central).  Here's her "new" blog. If the text on the second one is all fucked up and unreadable, yeah, that's what it looks like on my computer, too.

What happens in Arlington doesn't stay in Arlington:

"Lindsey Stone posted the picture of herself making the obscene gesture at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, next to a sign at the military cemetery that asks for 'Silence and Respect,' in October and the snapshot quickly went viral."

Good luck with the rest of your life. (Mail Online)

Along similar lines, remember when "the magic negro" first got elected and Rush Limbaugh said that that meant the end of racism in America? No, that didn't make any sense to me, either. And it sure as hell doesn't apply now:

"In case you were hopeful that Obama winning a second term was some kind of indication that racism doesn't really exist anymore, check out Twitter."

Look at the slideshow. (Jezebel)

Remember—the Internet never forgets. And it will come back to bite you on the ass.

In other Asshole News, here's Penn Jillette talking about being on Donald Trump's vanity TV show:

"I wasn’t even going to say anything about Trump’s hair. I live in a glass house. I’ve always had ugly, out-of-style hair. Trump’s hair is a lot better than mine—but as I sat there for hours half listening to Donald carry on, it struck me exactly what his hair looked like. It looks like cotton candy made of piss. That revelation came to me, and I had to type it here."

This one is serious comedy gold. A must-read. (Salon)

The election is over. Obama won. Heads are exploding all over the place. Some Republicans have seen the writing on the wall and are grudgingly embracing something remotely resembling reality. I could have made an entire post out of sour grapes and cries of "if only we'd been more conservative". But I won't even bother. Well, here's one stupid statement:

"We need someone like a Jerry Falwell to come back and resurrect the Moral Majority movement where you get people that have a moral background who are willing to come together and vote for moral issues that are important to this nation."

They're now at the point where they're praying for/to St. Falwell. As if he lead this nation to "victory" when he was still alive. All I ever heard the man do was complain. (Crooks & Liars)

No link, says it all

You may have heard that John McAfee is hiding out somewhere in Belize. The story gets more bizarre every day but this early post probably nails what's actually happening:

"McAfee's intensive use of psychosis-inducing hallucinogens would go a long way toward explaining his growing estrangement from his friends and from the community around him. If he was producing large quantities of these chemicals, as implied on Bluelight, that would also shed light on his decision to associate with some of Belize's most hardened drug-gang members."

"mdpv is serious shit. would explain his paranoia and erraticness. i've been thru that. i played with mdpv for about two weeks, then started seeing shadow people in the corner of my eye, and what amphetamine heads call 'tree-cops'... its essentially really, REALLY f-ed [fucked] up meth."

Gizmodo

After all of the above this is positively quaint:

"The United States Postal Service acknowledged on Friday that one of its mail carriers did not report a corpse at a Denver home because he mistook the body for a Halloween display."

Chicago Tribune

And finally, some good news:

"I want you to hear me tonight, I am not saying that President Obama is the Antichrist, I am not saying that at all. One reason I know he's not the Antichrist is the Antichrist is going to have much higher poll numbers when he comes"

Karl Rove Has The Numbers

And yeh, as the election was nigh, Karl Rove spake the numbers, and they were good.

To watch the full Fox News meltdown see the November 7th episode of The Daily Show.

Shock-horror! Obama thanks Satan on live TV! (this is a must-see).

[Once again it is clear that I cannot rely on my 2.5 readers to point out incorrect links. While the video linked above is amusing, the correct one deserves a viewing as well.]

Well, the 'lection is over and Obama won. Heads are exploding all over the place. Take, for example, Donald Trump:

"Donald Trump, who has driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible here, is tweeting tonight. Here's a sampling..."

Mail Online

Mr. Irrelevant

But before that epochal hissy fit there was the matter of Obama's nose job:

"In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s challenge to Obama to release his college and passport records in exchange for a $5 million donation to Obama’s charities, here’s another secret from Obama’s life of mystery and make-believe."

WND

That's a very interesting sentence, BTW. It's sort of like saying "After someone accused you of being a fraud, here's a picture of you looking like your dog". But wait, I see a link to a piece by "Uncle" Ben Kinchlow, Pat Robertson's former Afro-American co-star. He's quoting an anonymous female acquaintance:

"Any woman who is so shallow as to not see through the disdain for her gender and disregard for her intelligence by the relentless push to fall in line with the ideology of the left are as blind as those black Americans who can’t see the perpetual racial slight-of-hand being foisted upon them, regardless of how much information is available pointing to truth; truth, I might add, of which they are both willingly ignorant. If those women don’t wake up and learn what a real man is before Nov. 6, then they can continue to anticipate being treated like the second class citizens the liberals so passionately claim they are."

You can sort of see why most women didn't go for Romney. Note the quack medical links (see StemTech below). (Ben Kinchlow Blog)

You're a looney

"Yet, lawyer and Fox News Anchor Greta Van Susteren has defended the threats against international monitors: 'The election is none of their business. We ought to be able to police our own election.' Of course, that is precisely the same argument used in Iran, China, and other countries. It is another example of what is often referred to as 'American Exceptionalism' that we are simply unique and above the rules that we apply to other nations."

A vote for Jesus was one less vote for Mitt Romney. They racked up over 2 million pledges. And Obama won by how many votes? Scary, huh?

"When the child refused to take the antibiotics and continued to have problems eating, the doctor reportedly advised the Staats to take the child to another medical professional or a hospital, according to the police report. The doctor reportedly described the boy's condition as critical. Michelle Staats allegedly told police she prayed about whether she should take the child to a hospital... When she thought about taking the boy to the hospital, she got an upset stomach. She allegedly interpreted the upset stomach as a sign from God she should continue trying to treat the child herself."

Columbia Basin Herald

"They called police which came right over . . . and arrested the couple in front of their nine-year-old child. They say it was the local Clayton police who were abusive — grabbing their phone and yelling at them. They told Keeley to stop lying and that they knew no one broke into the home. It is not clear why Keeley would call to report his own drugs."

As promised above, yet another woo company with a multi-level marketing scheme:

"StemEnhance is an important part of daily adult stem cell nutrition and works best when used in tandem with StemFlo®, which supports the healthy circulation of adult stem cells and nutrients, and ST-5 with MigraStem™, which supports the ability of adult stem cells to migrate into tissue.* 

"*This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA."

StemTech

Also:

"In 2001, a citizen's group filed a suit in California objecting to 30 claims Cell Tech had made in brochures or on its Web site. In February 2003, the judge ruled that all of the challenged statements were deceptive. He banned their further use in California and ordered Cell Tech to refund the full purchase price to California consumers who purchased its algae products between October 1997 and September 2002"

MLM Watch

So what they're selling is potentially toxic algae. BTW, a list that I'm on was recently invaded by some bizarroid with a StemTech email domain. He proceeded to annoy me and everyone else. Do you suppose there's a connection?

Election over. Nothing else to see here. Cue the campaign for 2016...
