Tales of the Shutdown Open ThreadWith staffing cut at the Congressional (taxpayer-paid) gym, some Congressmen must resort to a hellish existence just barely above that of vermin --using their own towels twice without laundering. The gym was to have been closed, but the Architect of the Capitol decided to keep the facility open because several House members store personal items inside. Yeah I love this guy. I love the whole Alaskan Legacy Crew. TNR's white (but that is obvious) writer Nate Cohn: people are mad about the dysfunction and the shut down, but in fact the backlash now is less than it was in 1996. No matter how you look at it, the GOP is in a tough spot. Every post-shutdown poll shows that more voters blame Republicans than Democrats, by approximately a 10 point margin. But the numbers aren’t great for Democrats, either. The share of voters blaming Republicans exclusively is well beneath 50 percent, suggesting that today’s persuadable voters—the key voters on the road to 50 percent—are angry at both parties. Other questions show broad dissatisfaction with both parties. A majority of voters say they disapprove of Obama’s performance on the budget; a majority of voters even say they’re “angry” with President Obama, as well as congressional Democrats. In 1996, he notes, nearly half (nearly a majority, that is) consistently blamed Republicans only for the shutdown. Instapundit linked this article on quantum mechanics and maybe human consciousness (?) and it sounded sort of trippy but I didn't read it so here it is so I can find it later. Not at Buzzfeed, but rather at NRO, here are ObamaCare's thirty biggest FAILs, and they're not LOL at all for the American Public. Andy Levy was annoyed at this Sorta Not Safe For Work article about a 20 year old who's super-proud of herself for designing a t-shirt for American Apparel which features a crude line drawing of a vagina being masturbated at the same time it's, yup, also menstruating. That's why this is Sorta Not Safe For Work; that crude artwork (like the Beaver picture in Breakfast of Champions, except with some red for blood), is at the top of the piece. She says it's empowering or something, then carries on like an obnoxious prat about how daring she is and how she's really waving her Freak Flag and upsetting the Squares. VICE: What do you think of the media storm you’ve started? Petra Collins: It’s really awesome. I’m not surprised. It’s exactly what I wanted because it totally proves my point… Mm-hm. Female masturbation just isn't a thing, she said, as women casually discussed vibrators with near-strangers in public. I have two takeaways from this: First, as I always say, the sexual revolution was won about 30 years ago. But people with very low ambitions and fairly low intellects continue to do victory laps over it. They keep proclaiming they need to "free people from their restraint" in a culture awash in pornography, sex toys, divorce, affairs, etc. It's obviously a way to draw attention to oneself, dressing one's attention-whoring up as some sort of Nobel Crusade to set people free of Sexual Restraint. Who, exactly, in this year 2013 AD, is not sexually liberated, except for 70 year old ladies? Are we really determined to get them to rock a vibrator too? How much swings on this Goal? The other thing I'd say is this: Like Miley Cyrus, this 20 year old has discovered Sex Is Awesome!!! and just wants us all to know that. Yeah Sugar-Tits we sort of know. We've been enjoying it for years, but without quite as much Noob Squeeing about it. Nothing like being told by a 17 year old how awesome beer is. Like drunkenness? Awesome!!! Like you get all effed-up, you know, bro? And then you just walk around all dizzy like, "Wha...?" It's crazy! Yes. Yes it is. Now calm down, junior, and sit on a stable surface before you fall on your fool head. And finally -- the most controversial cat in the world. Cobs such as Slu and LauraW. want to kill this poor cat with fire. ![]() | Recent Comments
