Brand New Open Thread

Mmm... that new thread smell.

Okay, joke's over. Not sure why I trotted this one out again a second time.

You trotted this shit out because it's 1:15am NY time, and you're all jagged out on caffeine.
Or do you have a little meth-lab going there, Lake County, California style?
You're hepped up like a school girl on her way to a Rick Springfield concert...

because it drives you crazy that atrios has astronomical numbers despite negligible substance from him?

Posted by: Village Idiot on December 29, 2005 01:19 AM

"Negligible substance" from Atrios.
Tooo much credit.
That's like saying the corn in my shit has 'nutricious value'.

Posted by: Uncle Jefe on December 29, 2005 01:29 AM

Or 'nutritious'...

Posted by: Uncle Jefe on December 29, 2005 01:30 AM

You fucker, all this Atrios crap has screwed up my RSS feed!

Thanks

someone mentioned Lake County around here? wow.

Uncle Jefe, you've seriously dated yourself by digging up the ghost of Rick Springfield : )

I found this article at Sweetness and Light and thought it pretty interesting in the debate over Bush going around the FISA court. Pay particular attention to paragraph about Judge Royce Lamberth.

It's really is hard to believe that people so quickly forget the environment post 9/11 in America. There was an understanding that intel was not being gathered quickly enough or shared appropriately. We were seeing anthrax attacks and dirty bomb threats. We had just lost almost 3000 citizens to a terrrorist attack. The public was rightfully demanding that our gov't do whatever was necessary to protect the US from another devastating attack.

Anyway for those interested go here

Funny post on Democratic Underground...

There are two communication theories which, taken together, help explain why people in the United States continue to allow the * regime to remain in power. These theories are (1) Spiral of Silence and (2)Mean World Syndrome.

LOL! How about (3) Democratic Hysterical Hate Based Undirected Illogical Projectile Vomit Which The Average American Is Smart Enough to Recognize Syndrome

Do you think Dick Cheney's cock reads blogs?

Cause if it did, I don't doubt it could set up a cabal with various ISP's who direct slaves to click onto Atrios just so it looks like he's got good numbers so that when normal people go there, they say WTF?

SHOCKER: Men, Women view web differently.

I know. Whoa.

SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- Internet users share many common interests, but men are heavier consumers of news, stocks, sports and pornography, while more women look for health and religious guidance, a broad survey of U.S. Web usage has found.

The MSM - is there any secret they can't uncover?

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.


Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
spidermanthreatormenace.jpg

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
