    The Inauguration, or Fuck Off W: Final Edition

    "(it isn't an offensive word)"

    I think it's more the connotation that Jews everywhere are a monolithic entity who all think alike (and may or may not be sapping our precious bodily fluids). It's just as offensive when it comes from right wing zionists (given that most of the Jewish diaspora is definitely not right wing and fiercely independent of thought) as when it comes from anti-semites.

"Oh no, wee Trot - the Tankies have thrown our leaflets in the duck pond!" Cue drawing of large cloud of black smoke with fists and feet sticking out.
        The Jocks and the Geordies was in the Dandy, not the Beezer. I seem to recall having to get my mum to explain wtf they were saying because I didn't understand dialect.

          Mrs Cs best friend is named Julie. When Julie was about 14 or 15 she went through a spell writing her name around the school - on walls, school books, desks, that type of thing. Instead of writing 'Julie' though, she would 'Jewellry' so the teachers wouldn't know who it was.

          One day feeling extra brave, she decided to graffiti a random locker in a corridor, in extra big letters. Checking to make sure she was alone she started. Of course after completing the first three letters a teacher came round the corner and caught her...

          Throughout the following weeks of counciling, meetings with parents etc, Julie kept quiet about what she had really meant to put, because she didn't think anyone would believe her. She doesn't think, looking back now, that any Jews even went to her school.

          As you were.

            A brave new dawn. I just hope this was the C.I.A. up to their old tricks, trying to discredit Obama?

              WTF? On so many levels, WTF?
              shocked customer tells My Fox NY that Ted Kefalinos, proprietor of Lafayette French Pastry, asked her, "Would you like some drunken negro heads to go with your coffee? They're in honor of our new president. He's following in the same path of Abraham Lincoln; he will get his."

              Later, her friend stopped by the bakery and said Kefalinos corrected her about the name of the cookies—they're actually drunken "N-word" cookies.

              ...

              Kefalinos denies intimating that Obama would be assassinated, and insists that the cookie is "not unflattering. I think it's a fun face... And anyone who says anything else should be ashamed of themselves." Besides, nobody got upset about the "Dead Geese Bread" he sold after the recent Hudson River plane crash. (We're NOT making that up.) Also, Kefalinos insists he can't be racist because, for one thing, "my brother-in-law, he's Cuban."
              The weirdest thing? The guy's clearly not a very good baker. Here's the offending item:

                I've been thinking about putting that up since it broke last week, but couldn't think of anything to add other than WTF?

                Especially as I remember going to the place with my mom when I was a kid (and it was under different management).

                So, WTF?

                  That's nothing.

                  Holland still has "Jew Cookies" and "Moor Heads". These are manufactured by major companies and distributed throughout supermarkets.

                  Up until two years ago there where "Negro Kisses" as well, but the company has renamed them "Kisses". All the Dutch people I know still call them "Negro Kisses" though. The logic being that they don't find "white custard" to be offensive, so why should "Negro Kisses" be offensive. Right.

                  Holland is very much a country in denial.

                    I can't believe that a store in the Village would do something like that.

                      I know. But that is an even less satisfactory explanation, If he knew.
                      And more than disappointing.

                        You get the re-named negro's kisses in Finland, too. Do Dutch people also maintain that it's not racist if they use 'negro' instead of 'nigger'?

                          This man is a US Congressman.
                          KING: Let’s just say that, that, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, is brought to the United States to be tried in a federal court in the United States, under a federal judge, and we know what some of those judges do, and on a technicality, such as, let’s just say he wasn’t read his Miranda rights.

                          GALLAGHER: Right.

                          KING: Pick another one, there are plenty of technicalities out there. He is released into the streets of America. Walks over and steps up into a US embassy and applies for asylum for fear that he can’t go back home cause he spilled the beans on al Qaeda. What happens then if another judge grants him asylum in the United States and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is on a path to citizenship. I mean, I give you the extreme example of this, but we’ve got a couple of 150 folks there and the potential’s there for every single on of them to be brought to the United States and find a path through our laws, that they could actually live in the United States legally, and maybe, and after Nancy Pelosi gets done with SCHIP, they can tap into welfare while they’re at it.

                            Rush Motherfucker: Obama is frightened of me

                            White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs gave reporters the administration's latest message to Limbaugh at Monday's press briefing: "Tell him I said, 'Hi,'" he joked.

                              No there isn't. There just isn't. The ICE does not grant you asylum to everyone who turns up and asks for it.

                              On the other hand, if we can get some of these guys to snitch and put them into witness protection, that would be fine, I think.

                                So, this whole Limbaugh spectacle has been fascinating to me. Several prominent Republicans - most recently RNC chair Michael Steele - have criticised him recently with varying degrees of severity, and each has rapidly been forced into a grovelling public apology, in which they hail him as the conscience of the Republican party or a great conservative leader. This is fascinating on many levels.

                                1) Whenever a Democrat or a liberal criticised some hideous thing Rush said or did, those criticisms have always loudly been dismissed because Rush is only an entertainer and nobody takes him seriously. Now, however, he's the heart and soul of the GOP. Funny that.

                                2) Can you even begin to imagine either a Democrat backing down like that after criticising, say, MoveOn, let alone Republican backing down after being criticised by Democrats for something they said?

                                3) It's all very reminiscent of the omerta that reigned in the Bush administration during the first five or so years, most famously exemplified by someone apologising for being shot in the face by the Veep.

                                4) Steele is going to have a really hard time changing the culture of the GOP, if he really intends to. Rush is the public face of the GOP's id, and if he backs down to Rush so quickly, it's hard to see him making a lasting impression on the party. And given that the Republican faithful seem to have decided that the lesson of 2008 is to become even more crazy, he would have been fighting an uphill battle anyway.

                                  isn't rush a prescription pill addict who struck deals to avoid being done for doctor shopping, and got picked up by the DEA coming back from the dominican republic with a load of viagra that was bought on someone elses prescription?

                                  I can't imagine that the republicans would be so generous or forgiving towards a democrat who had such problems.

                                    I don't Steele has a hope in hell of making a lasting impression on the GOP, and assume that the Limbaugh/Palin wingnut wing will be in the ascendancy for at least the rest of this year.

                                    The question is whether the midterm elections in 2010 will cause some tempering of the message, but it's much too early to have any idea of what the political landscape will be then (other than the fact that there will still be a core of wingnut House districts that will be egging Rush on).

                                      These aren't people who know how to dampen their message, I think. Indeed, they are actively insulating against the possibility - "Project Leper" and all that.

                                      There are a couple of reasonable people there - John Huntsman in particular seems to be positioning himself as the non-crazy pick for 2012. But given the organised moves to fund primary challenges to anybody who collaborates with the Obama administration, many of those sane/moderate/centrists are going to have to start asking themselves whether being RINOs is worth all the aggravation.

                                        Steel really doesn't know when to stop digging, does he?
                                        Steele: I am very introspective about things. I don't do -- I am a cause and effect kind of guy. So if I do something, there's a reason for it. Even, it may look like a mistake, a gaffe. There is a rationale, there's a logic behind it.

                                        Lemon: Even with the current events in news--

                                        Steele: Yeah.

                                        Lemon: There's a rationale behind Rush, all that stuff?

                                        Steele: Yup. Yup.

                                        Lemon: You want to share it with us?

                                        Steele: Sure, I want to see what the landscape looks like. I want to see who yells the loudest, I wanted to know who says they're with me but really isn't.

                                        Lemon: How does that help you?

                                        Steele: It helps me understand my position on the chess board. It helps me understand, you know, where the enemy camp is and where those who are inside the tent are.

                                        Lemon: It's all strategic?

                                        Steele: It's all strategic.
