Maybe "Onions" Instead Of Pepperoni

I wanted to believe that a pizza owner imposed a one-slice limit on Mayor Bloomberg, but I smelled onions.

Lefty lies are printed, spread, & amplified daily...I'm just gonna choose to believe this story to balance things out a bit.

I'll consider this story .000000027% payback for the lie that Reps. Lewis, Carson, Cleaver, & Clyburn told about Tea Partiers on 3-20-10.

I'd like to see the story become inspiration, and for business owners to actually shut their doors in Nanny Bloomberg's face.

Here's a 'Moderate Dem' take on Labor Participation rate from National Journal. Obviously they don't blame Obummer, but they subtly admit that the shrinking labor pool will starve Leviathan of tax $$ and national Bankruptcy follows: http://www.nationaljournal.com/domesticpolicy/forget-the-unemployment-rate-the-alarming-stat-is-the-number-of-missing-workers-20130503

Just when you think he can't go lower, Obama does.

The Drudge headline, taken from RCP, is that Obama is blaming the Mexican drug violence on American guns.

What a low life bastard.

[Gus]

Matt, he's campaigning in Mexico. Literally. He is talking to the Future Democrats of America. A.k.a. Mexican College students. Meanwhile, John McCain is saying something about how HONORABLE he is or some such crap.

[Rob Crawford]

Matt, they've been making that claim for YEARS. That was the reason for "Fast and Furious" -- they wanted to fluff up the number of guns traceable to the US because not enough were showing up on their own.

[henry]

Gus, you forgot one.

d)Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States

Makes me wonder, did F&F ever stop?

[James D.]

Matt, he's right. Of course, he's omitting the fact that his Department of Justice GAVE the guns to Mexican drug criminals with the expectation that they'd be used to commit crimes.

[Porchlight]

Imagine if F&F were the only truly despicable thing Obama had done in office. In a sane world, it would have brought him down.

Instead it's one of 100 things - 1000 things - and he's sitting pretty in his second term.

Harrumph! Wasn't someone (I'm sure it was Hit) supposed to publish a JOM dictionary? No matter how often you guys use these words I can't figure out the definition, (or remember it) because the people you describe deserve so many adjectives.

They are expecting a verdict in the Gosnell trial any minute. Since there were about 200 counts to deliberate I can't say I think that is a good thing. Let's hope it was a slam dunk.

[Gus]

henry, Obama was a drug user. He paid no price, yet he grandstands to College aged kids in Mexico. He is campaigning for 2014 votes for Congress.
Btw. My brother called me 15 minutes ago from Tunis. He leaves in a week!!!

[Ignatz]

This demonstrates the difference between a cagey slimey creep like Clinton and a nutjob Marxist like Barry.

BJ had the good sense to steer clear of gun control once it bit him profoundly in the ass in 1994.
Barry is doubling down. I'm afraid, if he persists, he is going to learn that motivating his base against a cipher like Romney is largely without risk. Attempting to motivate it against people far more tenacious and numerous in their love of guns than the few gun grabbers on his side is a sure path to congressional destruction in 2014.
What I've never understood about people like Barry who follow the Big Lie strategy is, do they forget how things turned out for its earlier adherents?

[NK]

If a North Phila jury nullifies the facts and acquits Gosnell.... at least masks would have been torn off.... we'll see.

[NK]

Ig.... one word of caution... the Obamaniacs are convinced that the cultural mores of under 30somethings are so corrupted by shite like the 'Mountain Dew Advert' culture, that he can get away with things unimaginable to leftist elites like Slick Willy 15 years ago. I think the Obamaniacs are wrong, but yet TBD.

While IBammy is excusing Mexican drug violence on American guns Rick Perry is bringing the house down at theNRAAM in Houston talking about freedom.

No, they think that if they keep trying, when circumstances align, eventually they'll win.

(Which, in itself, is fine and even noble. I mean, we keep trying to convince voters and elected officials to come around on our preferred policies as well.)

I'm talking about the views of bleeding heart, do-it-for-the-children liberals here. The hard left of course has much more sinister reasons for wanting to take away guns; to them the bleeding hearts are just useful idiots.

I am watching the livestream of the NRA conference. Rick Perry spoke, Ted Cruz is up now, and Sarah Palin will appear.

Porch@245-- very fair analysis.

Thanks NK.

[Gus]

Obama is a MARXIST. The power to ram the ultra lib STATIST/MARXIST policies down our collective throat is what he has LIVED for his entire life.

He is O'Scorpion. He does what a Marxist/Scorpion does. He isn't a lib, he's a Marxist.

[lyle]

What I've never understood about people like Barry who follow the Big Lie strategy is, do they forget how things turned out for its earlier adherents?

Porch's succinct analysis notwithstanding, don't forget that Barry believes himself to be better than any former Prez or any current pol. He believes his own bullshit. Add that to the fact that he surrounds himself with asskissers and sycophants, well you get the idea...

[Rob Crawford]

BJ had the good sense to steer clear of gun control once it bit him profoundly in the ass in 1994.

Clinton's goal was to stay in office and set himself up for a life of easy cash and babes.

Obama's goal is to goad Americans into something rash.

Thus the insistence that every one of his legislative initiatives skips the normal processes. The drive for gun control. The "budget" opening the Pandora's box of confiscating from people's retirement accounts.

[Rob Crawford]

Not fair, Gus. Spread horse shit around and stuff grows.

[Rick Ballard]

"Which, in itself, is fine and even noble."

Porchlight,

50 million dead babies argue against awarding brownie points for good intentions. There is nothing fine or noble about the level of stupidity required to believe in Unicorn Utopia. It's just common as sandy loam stupidity leavened with a heaping dose of ignorance.

Think tougher gun laws have any effect on criminals?

The example of Chicago ought to stop the leftist gun grabbers in their tracks, except the gun grabbers don't seem to be going after the guns that criminals are using.

[DoT on iPad]

Square acres is like knots per hour: part of the lexicon of the ugnoramus.

Just programmed the DVR to record the FNC special on Gosnell at 6:00 PDT. What a pity this ghoul cannot be gibbeted.

[Rob Crawford]

In Chicago, the city government is an arm of the street gangs. Armed citizens might stand up to the thugs, imperiling the city's real masters.

[centralcal]

Jane, I can't believe you don't know what Fnork is!

[Jim Eagle]

Jane,

At least being the MSM favs, they can bang the Benghazi drum. If we have to choose between Schumer and Rubio pushing Immigration reform or Sibelius and Von Halen calming the Obamacare waters or Graham and McRino demanding answers on Benghazi then let them roar.

The problem is that once they start talking about things "from so long ago" the MSM will quickly turn to Immigration or bipartinsip or any other squishy thing those two specialize in.

I am still waiting for the Sunday show that features Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Trey Gowdy talking about guns, Benghazi, dereliction of duty (not Obama but the GOP senators), that pesky thing called the Constitution and how the United States is teetering on the prospect that 29% of its citizenry see the prospect of change by an armed revolution.

Wonder if that will tempt some 26 year old producer at FNC? Doubt it.

[Jane -]

I can't believe you don't know what Fnork is!

I don't. Now if you had told me, I would. But Noooooooooooooooooooo

[matt]

which 29% is it? The ones without guns or the ones with? There is your answer.

[Rocco]

Of course that Mexican choom and cocaine he enjoyed at Occidental, Columbia and Harvard has nothing to do with Mexican drug violence.

[narciso]

--Shemp talked about thousands of "square acres" on fire in California. Anyone from our farming and logging contingent care to comment on that new areal measurement?--

I'd gladly hit Shemp with a brick at the drop of a hat but I have to give him a little slack here if only because when calculating volume of timber per acre it's common to set up plots of 1/4 to 1 acre in size which are circular.

However, when discussing thousands of acres calling them square acres is pretty much like describing round circles.
Let's give Shemp three eye gouges out of a possible four for this particular stupidity.

[henry]

Jane, all I know is that fnork is whatever Duke & Duke and the R establishment (which doesn't exist) are, except instead of using a word that exists for something that doesn't, we chose a word that doesn't exist for something that does. I think that makes it Shrodinger's Establishment Cat.

[Ignatz]

On the MarkO Intelligence Scale Shemp would be a low grade imbecile but not an idiot.

[Ignatz]

--I think that makes it Shrodinger's Establishment Cat.--

LOL, Henry.
Except in the case of our genteel Duke n Duker squishes I'd have to say Shrodinger's Establishment Pussies might fit a little better.

[Rick Ballard]

Jane,

Look up Paul Singer and his circle of accomplices if you'd like to put a face with Fnork. IMO - the whole group is a cancer and it's intended to be.

[centralcal]

Apologies, Jane! The phone rang and then we decided to close up at work early and I rushed out the door. Home now and I see you got a definition.

I thin of Fnork the way henry described them.

I can't wait to hear the verdict of guilty for Gosnell. How many =years will we have to wait before he is executed? As a rule I am against the death penalty. Just let them rot in jail. But with this scumbag I embrace jihad. Let's behead him and put his head in a glass jar like he did to those little innocent babies. An eye for an eye.
Also,I can't wait for Weds's hearing on Benghazi. Dr. K has already asked the repubs to cool it with the speeches and ask pointed ,direct questions.

[Ignatz]

A minor note for Jane that the Urban Dictionary does have a citation for "fnork" as being the sound produced when two elephants joined at the trunk sneeze simultaneously.

There are a couple of other definitions but like most there they don't bear repeating.

[Ignatz]

LiLo commando + open defense bench = suspended sentence.

[narciso]

'what difference does it make' but still, in the LUN

[Porchlight]

There is nothing fine or noble about the level of stupidity required to believe in Unicorn Utopia.

I agree, Rick. I probably wasn't clear - I was referring to the "if at first you don't succeed" approach generally, not the specific goals involved.

And I was thinking more of the regular libs. But lyle and Rob C make great points - Barry thinks that the failures of the mere mortals who preceded him aren't anything he needs to worry about.

[Mark Folkestad]

Ignatz, I don't think that Shemp was intending to say that each acre was in the shape of a square. He stumbled, starting by saying square miles, and then went with square acres, as in acres squared (acres to the fourth power???) Many years ago, I got into a discussion with a couple of rich kids on a Minneapolis bus (no idea why they weren't in the family limo), one of them the son of financier Irwin Jacobs. The other kid was talking about how his great-grandfather owned several "bonanza farms" up near Fargo, which were over, in his words, "a hundred thousand square acres". Same confusion of terminology, thinking of square miles, not realizing that that represents a square of a linear measure, while an acre is already a square of a linear measure.

[Ignatz]

The Urban Dictionary definition of fnork I have to add is of course taken from Tim Conway's bit on the Carol Burnett show.
UD did not credit him with the gag.

[Captain Hate]

Answer me this: How does Lindsay Lohan get away with ignoring judge after judge? Huh?

I'm guessing that her traffic mishaps haven't resulted in anybody getting seriously hurt. If that ever happens there will be a compelling need to get her behind bars along with the usual finger pointing of why wasn't it done sooner.

[Ignatz]

Since you saw it first hand Mark I'll accept your estimate of where Shemp falls on MarkO's scale. :)

Cruz comes up with a fine idea-- debate CRIME control with Biden.

I think a great deal of what is wrong would have gone on under Romney. He would have deferred to jeb on ed and then the coming crash would have been truly bipartisan. An awful lot of nominal Reps love the idea of being players in an Industrial Policy economy. They love the idea of public-private partnerships.

I have not pointed this out before but I have run into Bain as a rah rah advocate for this ed/Industry template. I know Romney is no longer affiliated but neither is he likely to rain on their anticipated parade.

We need politicians who can make the case why all these policies are bleeding all of us not getting remittances from our business with or on the payroll of govts or NGOs.

[Jim Eagle]

Beside the JOMinary for words, there would be a special section on translating narciso lingua. Do we have any volunteers?

[Mark Folkestad]

Heh. I love the back-chatter. Porchlight just shared with me that her parents live next door to Irwin Jacobs. Small world.

[Porchlight]

Conservatives are letting the debate be about lawful licensed gun use-- it needs to be about CRIME

Great idea. We need to play up every single story of armed citizens stopping crimes in progress. They happen every day.

Not that the MSM will give us a bullhorn or anything.

But every single time a Repub is asked about gun control he should rattle off three different recent incidents in which a good guy with a (legally-owned and licensed) gun has stopped a bad guy with a (probably illegal) gun. Make it about stopping crime. Everybody wants lower crime. Everybody cheers when someone takes out a bad guy.

[NK]

The HildaBeast/Obummer Benghazi coverup is so important. It shows how they lie to cover political embarssment, even when it involves lying to the faces of the family of the victims of their incompetence, and even when out Jihadi enemies KNOW they are lying and our ENEMIES KNOW what kind of incompetents Obummer/Hildabeast are. More innocents will die because of the surrenderist incompetence of Obummer and his crew.

[Captain Hate]

From Jane's link:

The Weekly Standard has confirmed the identities of the authors of two critical emails—one indicating the main reason for the changes and the other announcing that the talking points would receive their final substantive rewrite at a meeting of top administration officials on Saturday, September 15.

The White House provided the emails to members of the House and Senate intelligence committees for a limited time and with the stipulation that the documents were available for review only and would not be turned over to the committees. The White House and committee leadership agreed to that arrangement as part of a deal that would keep Republican senators from blocking the confirmation of John Brennan, the president’s choice to run the CIA. If the House report provides an accurate and complete depiction of the emails, it is clear that senior administration officials engaged in a wholesale rewriting of intelligence assessments about Benghazi in order to mislead the public.

Even when they're providing documents as part of their responsibility for oversight purposes, they're still playing political games with them. Frankly I'm embarrassed by the gutlessness of the Repukes in playing along with this rather than telling them to fuck off and then go screaming to Sharyl Attkisson. Our "side" plays this game about as well as Jason Collins did in the NBA.

[Janet]

Amen, Captain.
