Great Merciful Zeus: Ann Coulter might just turn us straight.
Does anyone know if she's got a younger brother?
Alert tee-shirt vendors and the NYPD can’t be everywhere.
The Department of Homeland Security’s best strategy for keeping Americans safe should not be to “hope Muslims’ bombs fail” or depend upon alert civilians to spot smoke coming from cars or people’s underpants.
Since Muslims are just about the only group of people currently trying to kill Americans, perhaps a security policy at airports should be directed towards preventing Muslims from murdering people.
Read more in Ann Coulter’s latest column.
Now, for just a moment, appreciate the Bizarroworld we currently live in:
(1) We are gay guys in Boystown who, until 2008, detested Ann Coulter
(2) We are now reading Ann Coulter
(3) We agree with every damn word Ann Coulter says
(4) Sometimes, we think we’ve actually moved to the right of Ann Coulter
It’s Change we might not be able to believe in, but change the current DNC and White House forced upon on.
As much as the Left loves attacking us, and PUMAs in general who never drank the Kool-Aid, we are canaries in the national coal mine. Dismiss us if you want, but we’ve never just been Hillary guys who didn’t like Obama because he got the nomination and our champ didn’t.
This has always been about the fact that the Democrat Party changed — not us. We’re still the same guys we always were, except that our eyes opened to the lies the DNC always sold us about Republicans and conservatives in general.
Under the Clinton DNC, the Jacksonian Democrat Party, there was a place for naturally conservative moderates like us, who love America more than life itself, and want this country to be safe and secure with sound financial policies that ensure our prosperity.
The current Socialist-Democrat party has no moderates. It is 100% lefty, baby. And its PC-policies towards Muslims — those misunderstood murdering Care Bears — are going to get an awful lot of people killed, once the Religion of Peace stops sending its B-team to blow things up and dispatches operatives who know how to work clocks and who can successfully light their underoos and diapers on fire.
The DNC has no idea the damage it has done to itself.
We bet a lot of you, especially the conservatives who found us through Rush, Dennis Miller, Lucianne, or others, also don’t appreciate what’s happening here.
If the DNC has permanently alienated guys like us — who never in their lives thought they’d be reading and agreeing with Ann Coulter — then the Democrat Party is as good as Whig already.
We now love Coulter so much, she just might make us straight.
Just call us undocumented workers in Bizarroworld.
***************************************************
We might be late to the party, but since there ain't no party like a Boystown party, better late than never, we say.
NOTE: Thanks to Ann Coulter herself for the shout-out today.
We meant every word, Ann. And then some.
We’ve got all of your books here at Buzzquarters, and they’re sharing a shelf with It Takes A Village, Living History, and Going Rogue.
That would have been unthinkable a few years ago — and we know your readers, and you yourself, probably find it bizarre that gay Hillary guys have grown receptive to you.
The MSM is completely missing this fact: there is indeed a very large swath of former dyed-in-the-wool lifelong Democrats who woke up in 2008 and no longer support the Democrat Party. The mask slipped, the DNC revealed itself for what it really is, and there are millions of us now working against it.
Millions of us reading Ann Coulter, for the first time, and not just agreeing with you but shouting HELLS YAH!
We thank you for providing an example of someone who takes constant beat-downs from the Left and just keeps on swinging, no matter what they throw at you.
We really admire that. You have no idea the encouragement it gives us to keep on doing our own thing too.
Thank you Ann.
Stock Market Tanking: Need investors and financial types to offer analysis
We have only a very limited knowledge of financial markets.
One of us used to date a guy who was a dairy trader named Ryan, but he lost his job (and the shirt off his back…foreshadowing) when his firm downsized, and he’s a go-go dancer now, so we consider any market info we gleaned from him to be highly suspect. He did know all about all the various kinds of cows, though, and not ironically enough, g-strings too.
Drudge has a giant headline about the market tanking as we speak…and we don’t know if it’s related to the massive problems in Europe, which seems to be imploding financially.
At moments like this, we wonder two things:
(1) where George Soros is, and whether he’s sitting on his big black leather throne in a hollowed out dormant volcano, laughing maniacally
(2) why the Hell Mossad doesn’t just man-up and do the job the CIA, MI5, KGB-remnant, and other supposed-badasses for whatever reason just won’t do: which is, to be blunt, put a stop to item (1) above
We live in a world with a real life Goldfinger/Blofeld hybrid, but no James Bond to stop him. It remains our greatest earthly wish someday a Jaimie Bondskawitz is recruiting into Mossad to remedy that.
In the meantime, anyone out there with financial and market know-how better than the second-hand dairy trading tidbits we possess please chime in on what’s happening.
What’s going on?
Who’s responsible?
Is it really Soros in action again?
What ramifications will this have?
Embiggen our knowledge, post-haste.
PROJECT: Badger White House to change "First Ladies" page to "First Spouses"
Here’s something we noticed today while visiting the White House’s website to get a list of all the women who have served as “First Lady” in this nation’s history.
To date, the role of First Spouse has been filled only by females, but the White House should not assume — or support an agenda that encourages — that fact will always be true.
Hillary Clinton would be president today if the DNC had not awarded the nomination to Obama instead — so, we would have a First Gentleman in the East Wing…instead of the “fashion icon” occupying this role until 2013.
So, it’s illogical for the White House to maintain a page, at taxpayer expense, entitled “First Ladies” when in our very near future a man will be filling that role.
It’s, thus, sexist for the Leftists in charge of our government, currently, to discriminate against those of us with Y-chromosomes by insisting upon excluding male participation in the future of this historical page.
The term should be “First Spouse”.
No longer “First Lady” — at least when referencing something as all-encompassing as a list of everyone who has, or will, serve in that role in our nation’s history.
The proper protocol should be to refer to the women, as individuals, in this position as “First Lady Nancy Reagan” or “First Lady Bess Truman”. The men serving the nation in this role in the future should be “First Gentleman Bill Clinton” or “First Gentleman Todd Palin”. Informally, as Palin himself prefers, it could be “First Dude”.
Just as there is “Congressman” and “Congresswomen”, and the proper gender-neutral term is “Member of Congress”, or the awkward “Congressperson”. Informally, Congresscritter works too.
The Left certainly enjoys a good gender-based letter writing campaign…and we believe, firmly, the Left is in constant need of large doses of its own medicine.
It would cost almost nothing for the White House to adopt the convention of “First Spouse” on its webpage, instead of “First Lady”.
Here’s how the page currently exists: http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/first-ladies
It’s discriminatory against both Bill Clinton and Todd Palin that the federal government maintains an “All-Girls-Club” like this at taxpayer expense. Bob Dole, whose wife also ran for the Republican nomination in 2000, might have a thing to say about this himself.
Care to see if we can make Robert Gibbs squirm a little by seeing if we can launch a movement to get the White House to change this website page to “First Spouses”?
It’s actually a strategic move, too, that is one more thing that will help pave the way for our first female president — whether she’s Hillary or Sarah, so it’s yet another bipartisan effort on our part.
Class vs. Crass: A History of American First Spouses, Part 11
When we think of the word “First Lady”, one of the first images that comes to mind is Nancy Reagan, resplendent in red, either traveling abroad representing the best that is America, or hosting events in the White House, showcasing the historic treasures and graceful elegance of the People’s House for all Americans to see.
All of us consider ourselves very lucky to be children of the 80s — growing up with the Reagans in the White House, and not being able to remember anything of embarrassment that was the Carter years.
In this way, we feel we’ll have a lot in common with the generation that comes of age during the 8 years of the Palin presidency…an administration that will declare morning in America again, and will bring style, grace, class, and patriotism back to the White House.
Nancy Reagan was a trained Hollywood actress, so perhaps that’s why she, more than any First Lady before or since, was so crisp and pitch-perfect in her delivery of the role of a lifetime.
Stepping off Air Force One, she always looked impeccable, with a bright smile on her face and a warm wave to everyone excited to see the President’s wife.
She knew she wasn’t Nancy, some lady, out for a trip to the store or a swing by the Grand Canyon, just ’cause — but she was, instead, Mrs. Nancy Reagan, First Lady of the United States, on a goodwill mission to wherever it was she was heading.
No sloppy shorts, dirty sneakers, and disheveled messes for her.
At state dinners and other important events, Mrs. Reagan wore clothes that fit her well, and that contributed to the glamor and importance of the evening — not the most expensive things she could possibly find in the loudest colors possible, regardless of what size they came in or how appropriate they were for a woman her age, let alone America’s First Lady.
Mrs. Reagan had a wonderful sense of humor as First Lady. She goofed on herself all the time, whether it was hamming it up at a basketball game, appearing on comedy shows like Diff’rent strokes, or even sitting on Mr. T’s lap for a Christmas toy drive. Whenever she got a laugh, it was intentional — and not because she was clownishly dressed or behaving inappropriately in public, while calling herself “a fashion icon”.
When there was laughter, people were laughing WITH Nancy Reagan — not AT her.
Times sure have changed.
What are your favorite memories of Nancy Reagan, as First Lady of the United States, First Lady of California, movie star, or post-White House humanitarian and consistent embodiment of all that is good, honest, and decent in this country?
Who do you think should be profiled next in Class vs. Crass? Previous entries are kept in the “Golden Age of Hope and Change” page at the top, along with other great Chrissy-the-Hyphenated pieces of art.
Which First Spouse, past or future, do you think could teach Michelle Obama a badly needed lesson or eleventy?
Troll Dissection 101 – Strange New Troll on the Scene: an anti-Olympia Snowe Troll
Something truly fascinating has been happening behind the scenes here in spam filters the last two or three weeks — there appears to be an effort either at the RNC or through conservative PACs to copy the Left’s troll operations.
OR, this could be the DNC and the Organizing for America gang up to their usual trolling, just adding a new twist. The possibilities on this stuff are really limitless.
We’ve been hit with a new breed of some very amateur trolling, that’s been focused on Olympia Snowe as a RINO. What’s really interesting is that we get these comments — always from the same IP address — that are some variation on the following:
New to your site and lo-o-ve it!
One thing that puzzles me, however, is your apparent love for detestable RINO Olympia Snowe.
The Aroostook County Republicans have a slightly different take on Madame Snowe, and they passed a resolution inviting Her Excellency to leave the Republican Party.
Her latest abomination is her co-sponsorship of S773 along with Jay Rockefeller.
Interesting provisions of this proposed legislation include the following:
1. Establishment of national digital ID
2. Grants the White House power to shut down private networks
3. S.773 allows the Commerce Secretary to “have access to all relevant data concerning [government and private] networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule or policy restricting such access.There’s more. Check it out.
Are you still lovin’ Olympia?
Here in Maine all you need do is mention her name in a Republican gathering to be greeted with a chorus of “I’ll never vote for her again.”
We’ve run enough of these troll dissections for you to see, right off the bat, that this troll has never been to HillBuzz before, because the opening is that generic “New to your site”, which was designed to apply to whatever site this was posted on — but clearly tailored to political sites because of the specificity of the RINO charges against Snowe. This makes it a particularly amateur effort on the part of the troll, because he/she/it didn’t even bother to throw in a passing reference to us or HillBuzz itself, to give it that personalized touch Organizing for America and the Kossaks usually use.
Further proof they never read us is how the troll goes on about us loving Olympia Snowe — a person we’ve always found to be the very definition of repugnant. Even back in our very partisan Democrat days prior to the 2008 campaign, we’ve never been able to stomach Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Arlen Specter, Lindsey Graham, and other Republicans in name only who are, in reality, just stealth operatives of the Left.
Trojan elephants.
Snowe, in our opinion, is a very bad, cheap, drag queen who gets her wigs down at Beatnix near us in Boystown — which is like shopping for your evening gown at Rite-Aid.
She fools no one, and is tacky as all get-out. The game she constantly plays, for attention, in always being “courted” by the Left to side against the GOP is so tired, it’s practically in the same coma the rest of us are in watching her forever do this threadbare fan dance.
Every time she’s on the TV, with her Weird Sister compatriot Collins usually in tow, hemming and hawing trying to decide whether or not she’ll side with the Crazies on something instead of doing what’s best for the country, we just turn the dial, wanting to shout, “Get off the stage Snow, we already know you are going to screw America over. Save the theatrics and just get on with it, drama queen”.
Going as far back as high school, none of us here can ever remember saying a nice thing about her. Panda admits to, for a while, thinking she was a fictional character, because “Olympia Snowe” does indeed sound like a made-up name, like the secret identity of a super hero whose powers are rooted in Greek mythology somehow. Wonder Woman’s aunt, maybe, who generally hates America for some reason.
It also sounds like a Grecian-based drag performer, along the lines of Pandorra Boxx, who used to burn up the stage at a little club called Marcella’s in Rochester, New York back in the mid-90s. How’s that for random?
The troll’s remarks are, thus, really weird because of the itemized nature of all the points against Snowe…posted on a site that’s never supported Snowe, but acting as if we’re part of her fan club.
Which, we clearly are not.
It’s impossible to figure out who’s really behind this stuff. The points are well-crafted enough for it to come from the operations side of some political entity. These comments might be intern-posted, but they are clearly written by someone on staff who had a directive to hit at Snowe somehow, for some direct purpose.
Since she’s not up for re-election this year, we wonder what this is about.
Is it trying to stoke some national push against her to keep her in line should Democrats wish to commit full-on hari kari with Cap & Tax or Amnesty before November’s elections?
We think it would be a very smart idea for the GOP to do everything it can to cultivate conservative primary challengers to both Snowe AND Collins the next opportunity that arises — and we also believe it might be better for the country as a whole if Democrats just controlled those Maine seats outright, instead of constantly having to endure the fan dance the Weird Sisters put on for attention every chance they get, demanding an audience, and courting from the Left to do what everyone knows they are just going to do anyway.
Please.
Spare us.
Even drag queens take a break and get off the stage to smoke once in a while.
*****************
PS: What’s with the dropping of the “g” at the end of words, like “lovin”.
That’s what that troll Susan Traversy does in New Hampshire, whenever she says something evil or hateful in one of her AIDS-o-grams she sends to us. “Blah blah blah. I wish Jeffrey Dahmer was still working Chicago because then he’d give you AIDS. Just sayin’.” “Blah blah blah. If you ever come to New Hampshire, I’m going to hurt you. Just sayin’”.
How crazy is that?
Just sayin’.
Who's Dressed Better? The First Lady, or a Drag King?
h/t Carey for the find
Who rocks a wrinkled, utilitarian, painter’s smock better?
First Lady Michelle Obama, in the collarless, pocketless version festooned with an abandoned bird’s nest — or Chinese Drag King Chen Yan, a comparee impersonating Mao Tse Tung for state TV?
In Chicago, there’s a troupe of Drag Kings that performs at Pride and Market Days. They do a dance to the Alvin & the Chipmunks song “The Witch Doctor” that’s really cute.
Oooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah, ching-chang-walla-walla-bing-bang.
There’s, thus, a post-White House career just waiting for our current FLOTUS if she and her husband move back here in 2013.
