Somebody has an Elitism problem

And they blog at the corner

I don't intend this blog to become a corner mocking exercise but they do make it awfully easy on a regular basis.

And to K-Lo it might be worth pointing out that "the common people" don't like being scolded about their recreational activities whether that be reading or drinking or sex. Get over yourself and go have some fun in whatever form you most prefer.

Dude's got my vote

That was a hell of a speech. Wish he'd mentioned torture just once but I'll have to content myself with trusting he will end that abysmal practice. Makes me want to believe in America again. Actually, it makes me believe. Tough for an longtime cynic to admit.

The jokes write themselves

At the corner, humor happens quite unintentionally.

Smell the Fear

Comedy gold as the fear rises

Whole Lotta Stupid on that Corner

In an anonymously sourced quote about Hollywood liking the troops only when they are victims, Jay Nordlinger opines that he is "...reminded of elite elements of Europe — who liked America when it was down and bleeding, right after 9/11, but liked it much less when it stood up and fought."

No, you fucking moron. They sympathized with us immediately after 9/11. Once we stood up and started fighting, especially when we started going after the wrong guys, they began to question our sanity and judgment. They didn't start hating us until they found out the whole thing was justified by a pack of lies and we started tearing up the rights and liberties that made America the exceptional force in the world it was. Even the Europeans believed in American Exceptionalism, until Boy King George demonstrated we were just a scared bunch of kids looking for a Daddy. Mission Accomplished!

Stuff John McCain doesn't know

The difference between Shia and Sunni.
The name of the countries that used to be called Czechoslovakia
How to use teh Google
Why he wore an onion on his belt

Diplomacy

I'd go on but I'm getting depressed realizing that he's as much a moron as the current guy and is pulling enough in the polls to make this thing competitive. Time for a scotch or eight.

Holy crap, I've been let down!

I had little doubt Obama would disappoint me on some level. I had just hoped it would be after the election and maybe involve something relatively unimportant. Instead, he's for the travesty that is the current FISA bill. Hooray for spying on the citizenry! Hooray for immunity from breaking the law! Hooray for the little guy and his right to get completely screwed by the system.

That's not really change. And I sure as hell don't believe in it.

I am aware

This was mine

Just saying.

Does the world need another liberal blog?

No. Do I care? Not really. Hopefully this little exercise will bring some humor and sanity to my own head and if you happen to enjoy it as well? Bonus. So welcome and let the inanity begin.
