Michelle Malkin decries "union thugs" while her commentors talk of "civil war" and murdering protestors

Michelle Malkin (better known as Anne Coulter's Asian facsimile) took to her blog today to decry "union thug" protestors because they followed a Wisconsin GOP legislator while he was walking outside the capitol and said mean things to him like "shame" and "you suck." Not unsurprisingly, Malkin lies and claims that the protestors were shouting "fuck you." She also fails to point out that the same woman shouting "you suck" was also yelling at people not to touch the legislator. In other words, the protest was entirely peaceful.

But that level of dishonesty is expected from Coulter lite. What's more interesting is that while Malkin was complaining about the union thuggery of peaceful protestors, her little cult followers were openly talking of civil war, and fantisizing about murdering protestors.







So remember folks, in the world of the modern conservative this equals thuggery...




And this is patriotism...

Because It Worked So Well Last Time

Via Reuters.

Obama, who wants Congress to move a stalled climate change bill, has sought to reach out to Republicans by signaling he is open to allowing offshore drilling, providing coastlines are protected.

Because kowtowing to conservatives worked soooo well for you last time, Mr. President. At what point do we stop believing that they are just trying to be pragmatic, and start thinking that maybe Democrats have become the new moderate Republicans.

...What Josh Marshall Said.

Talkingpointsmemo.com's Josh Marshall, on the Republican's reconciliation lies.

Let's stop dancing around it. On "reconciliation" the Republicans are being such a gang of hypocritical liars it's shocking even for them. It really is. The Health Care Bill isn't being passed through reconciliation; it's being used to pass a few amendments to the bill that's already passed. The Republicans have used it numerous times and themselves and for bill's that were far bigger in budgetary terms than this bill. The whole thing is just an immense crock. And it's borderline scandalous that any of their nonsense is even being taken serious.

Jeremy Is Driving

So I bought the Jeep from Ian in August of 2006. I knew it needed work. I replaced the radiator, heater hoses, and water valve. Got it running, bought new doors, new door panels, and new interior trim peices.

And now. Three years later. With hundreds of dollars invested!!!!!! I finally...!!!!



... bought a Ford Focus station wagon.

It has low miles (84,000 on a 2000 model year), it runs great, the body is totally straight, and it has plenty of room to store dog/music equipment/dead bodies!

Family car bitches!!!!!

Why Best Buy Sucks

So as some of you may know I recently purchased an Asus K60-IJ notebook computer from Best Buy. I mainly bought the computer in order to have mobile internet access (like when I'm on vacation), and to be able to use it for school work as I am starting College at the beginning of January. Given the Asus' reasonable price, ample hard disc space, and dual core processor it seemed like a decent enough fit.

On November 6th I headed to Best Buy to check it out in person, and pick it up if I liked it. As soon as I walked to within sniffing distance of the computer department, every sales associate in the building pounced. They were like car salesmen. I was asked probably 10 different times (that's not an exaggeration) if I needed anything, and it was a different person every single time. I even had one guy try and sell me cell phones, apparently totally oblivious to the fact that he was nowhere near the cell phone department.

Eventually I decided it was the computer for me. So when the 37th person approached to ask if I needed any help, I told him I wanted to buy the Asus. He proceeded to pull a dented box out from underneath the display model and hand it to me.

"Uh, not to be rude, but do you think you could grab me one that doesn't have dented packaging?"

"Oh, not a problem," he said, as he reached for his upscale Fisher-Price walkie talkie and radiod for a warehouse boy to fetch the notebook.

As we were standing around waiting he took the time to try and sell me on the "Geek Squad" services. Would I like my computer "Optimized" for 130 bucks? No thanks, I can always do most of that myself for free. Would I like to buy Geek Squads "Black Tie Protection" plan for 200 bucks, which protects against any manufacturer defects, or accidental damage? Nah. Asus already offers a 1 year warranty on manufacturers defects, and accidental damage so I should be fine. Finally my computer shows up, I pay them their money and am on my way.

For about a month and a half the computer is awesome. It does everything I want it to do, and I have no complaints. It's not top of the line, even for a budget laptop, but it works for me.

I brought it home from Jenny's one day, set it over the baby/dog gate in the hallway (got to make sure the dog can't get it), and proceed to go to bed. A few days later I decide to bring it to work. It's Christmas Eve, and will probably be slow. Might as well take it and listen to music or something.

I get to work and pull it out of the case. Right when I open it I know something is wrong. I can see the black splotches on the LCD Screen. I know it's bad news bears, but hoping against hope I turn it on anyway. Disaster! The screen looks like someone stepped on it. The entire upper LH corner is blank white. Parallel lines run horizontaly accross the screen. A family member must have stepped on it I think. I certainly didn't drop it, and I'm sure I didn't step on it. Why did I leave it in the hallway? I'm such an idiot!

Once the initial feeling of imminent upchuck subsides I start thinking rationally. It will probably be covered under warranty. I mean, Asus has a 1 year accidental damage warranty. Why am I worrying?

Why? Maybe it's because when I went to check Asus site it says that Asus does offer an accidental damage warranty. Just not if you bought it at Best Buy! You see, Best Buy isn't a participating member! No, rather than allowing their customers to take advantage of the FREE accidental damage warranty that Asus provides, they would rather force you to pay 230 GOD DAMN DOLLARS FOR THEIR NOTORIOUSLY SHITTY BLACK TIE PROTECTION PLAN!

Thanks Best Buy! For making sure that I advise my friends to never buy a computer from you, and for making sure that I NEVER buy a thing from you again.

Senate Ruling Party Reaches Deal To Screw Americans Out Of Real Healthcare Reform

From the AP...

WASHINGTON – Democratic senators say they have a tentative deal to drop a government-run insurance option from health care legislation. No further details were immediately available.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Democrats are the new Republicans.
