Track-A-’Crat: The Roll Call of Democratic Delinquency

I go to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport – DCA fairly often, for one reason or another.

It’s a pretty stylin’ airport.  Lots of glass and metal, and lots of yellow and shiny.

But this weekend, I noticed a couple of things that boosted its beauty even further.  The first was the poster above.  DefeatTheDebt.com is a project of the Employment Policies Institute, a think-tank here in DC.  Anything that tries to inform addle-brained voters (almost entirely of the Left-wing variety) about the catastrophic size of the national debt is worth a small plug from me, so here it is.

Then, once inside, came a second surprise. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s related to the pic above.

Take a guess!

No? 

Then click here and be enlightened/entertained.

I love America more and more each day.

Nowhere else in the world would such fiercely independent people erect a billboard kinda sorta exhorting citizens to prepare for the worst against their own despotic government.

Also, nowhere else (in the advanced world) do rodeo, stunt-biking and other crazy dangerous sports exist.  The stranglehold of socialism is so strong in Europe that risks are not permitted in any venture (be it business, politics or regarding your own personal safety), but if someone wants to bust themselves up but good in the US of A while doing something obviously dangerous and awesomely entertaining, then you can just go right ahead.  People will love you for it!

And, more importantly, you’ll be the one paying for fixing yourself.

This piece of art can be witnessed in all its glory off of Interstate 70 in Missouri.  In the absence of any facts whatsoever about the origin of the billboard, the article where I found this did the predictably brainless thing and inserted the catch-all clause that,

While it’s unclear who owns it, the Lafayette County Republican Central Committee seems to endorse it.

Uhuh.  Bet you a dime to a dollar that the genius behind this piece didn’t bother contacting Lafayette County RCC, preferring to rely on his intuitive ability to discern everything that’s worth knowing about America, instead.

From his vantage point in Europe.

Should the worst happen, one thing is certain: those who rely on government to feed, clothe, house and think for them will be just as inept at everything else as they have already proven to be at life.

This is a bald bear, one of lots of spontaneously bald female bears at a zoo in Liepzig.

And if this isn’t the freakiest thing that you’ll see today, then you, good Sir/Madam, have an amazingly non-conformist job/life, and one that I envy very much.

It would be bad enough to be mauled to death by a bear under any circumstances, but imagine this raised-from-the-dead devil bear chowing down on your leg.

Come to think of it… This re-animated bear kinda reminds me of other pieces of necromantic magik, such as Dianne Feinstein.  And Helen Thomas.  And Henry Waxman.  And Robert Byrd.

Aaaaaannd I’ll stop there because I’m really not trying to make you guys stab your own eyes out…

The vid above captures some low-lives in the UK (Swansea, to be a little more precise) picking fights with random strangers.  Nothing strange about that, it’s entirely commonplace in the UK after dark.

But what you really want to see starts around the one-minute mark, for the thugs then pick on two cross-dressing guys.  Easy target, right?

Not this time, as the guys in drag just happened to be cage fighters on a stag (bachelor) night.

Awesome.

It’s kinda difficult to tell what’s going on, partly because of the camera angle but also because the three yobs are seemingly floored by one punch (or more likely a lightning quick succession of punches.  Hee-yah!).

Watch in joy as the shirtless idiot then gets up and stumbles around before falling over again.  The happy ending is that the still-dazed moron and his droogs are then nicked by the local police.

Rather than sending petty criminals like this to jail (which the UK cannot do, anyway, as there is no room left in its prisons -- seriously), can we not just give them a severe beating?

Guess what the pie chart above represents?

Wrong, wrong and wrong.  You’re not going to get it, trust me.

It displays in graphical and thus oh-so-authoritative form the proportional consumption of select countries in 2006 of, erm, porn.

Pervs!

Just don’t ask me how I came to be in possession of this factoid.  As ever, whatever I did was for you, dear readers.

Between them, the top 16 national consumers of porn spent over $97 billion on porn.  The porno industry is larger than the revenues of the top technology companies combined: Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Apple, Netflix and EarthLink.  It’s also larger than the GDP of all but five African nations.

Which is hardly surprising.  Forget all that BS about the interweb being created for the military, for the economy, for the education/control of people worldwide, etc.  The brainiacs behind the net had only one goal in mind: the ultimate domination of porn.

The article detailing this is a treasure trove of random information.  For instance, Elmhurst, IL, is apparently the porn capital of America, as its residents were responsible for the most number of searches for the terms porn, xxx and sex.  Must be a whole lotta people there with time on their hands…

There’s more: 20 percent of men and 13 percent of women supposedly check out porn at work, while 40 million men and 10 million women regularly visit porn sites.  You go, girls!

Are the Democrats not aware of the potential revenue to be garnered from a federal takeover of this sector?  Barney Frank, King of Porn, anyone?

Lucky drivers on the I-70 in Missouri between the Adams Dairy Parkway and the Grain Valley exits (which means not a thing to me – anyone here from MO?) are currently being treated to the billboard above.

I love that someone, somewhere has paid for this to be erected.

Combine it with this one, this one, plus a few choice others and, hey presto, the Democrats will be destroyed next year.

Ohhh, the havoc that I could wreak if only I had piles of loose cash to play with…

Because I honestly was not sure.  But now I know…

A man (Josh Muszynski) goes into a shop and buys some cigarettes.

And checks his bank account a few hours later, only to find out that he’s been charged $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars) for the cancer sticks.

Well that’s one way to make people quit.

So…

We can’t foster democracy in the Middle East but we can force respect for homosexuality onto them?

Something tells me that the second is going to be even less popular than the first.

Last Friday, 29 May, the US Embassy in Iraq held its first-ever gay pride party in Baghdad.  The initiation to the event implored those attending to “dress in drag or as a gay icon.”

As always with the Left, results do not matter; only intentions do.  President Intern will raise the tax burden on America, knowing full well that it will yield less tax revenue, because it is his intention to punish the successful and bolster his far-left credentials.  Likewise here – results are secondary to his ability to say that he is promoting multiculturalism.

As if Arabs didn’t dislike us enough already.  Is this the type of cultural sensitivity that Left-wingers always whine we lack?  I don’t want to excuse the pervasive Middle Eastern prejudice against gay people, but doing something like this shows zero situational awareness.

It’d be like the Obama administration nominating someone who supports abortion as US ambassador to the Holy See.

[The pic has nothing to with the Baghdad party, as far as I know.  But wouldn't you use it?]

With its stalker-like connotations, admitting to an obsession is rarely fashionable or acceptable these days.

But can we not look past that and try to see the good?  Let’s instead focus on the positive aspects of obsessive behavior, such as single-mindedness, tenacity and attention to detail.  There we go, much better.

Nevertheless, personal realizations of obsessiveness can strike one at the strangest of times.

Such as when you’re (I’m) watching the new Star Trek movie.

Normally, I’d rather gouge out my own eyes than watch anything Star Trek-related.  But this is different – J. J. Abrams directed it.  And it was very entertaining.  Never thought I’d write those words.

But I started to have some rather unwelcome thoughts when the villain revealed that he was a prole… and that his vessel was a mining ship… and that he was fighting against a powerful foreign empire… and that his weapon of choice to destroy other planets was a big-a*s drill.  You see where I’m going?

More than anything else, this just tells me how I might be overdoing it slightly in my eagerness to attribute everything disagreeable to socialism.

Then again, maybe not.
