Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Nothing tonight Denizens.&#160 The Sibling Unit&#153 and his Blushing Bride&#153 moved into a house some time back and I just now got their network up & running.

Whereupon the Blushing Bride&#153’s machine promptly crashed after an install of McAfee.&#160 And it took three hours to finally get into the BIOS where it could be fixed.

I’ve got some stuff on the back burner, though, so a posting avalanche is in order, I believe.&#160 Stand by.

It’s beginning.&#160 Little by little, people are beginning to wake up to the fact that the Ayatollah is not&#160 the Messiah&#153.

Polling data show that Mr. Obama’s approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001. Rasmussen Reports data shows that Mr. Obama’s net presidential approval rating — which is calculated by subtracting the number who strongly disapprove from the number who strongly approve — is just six, his lowest rating to date.

Overall, Rasmussen Reports shows a 56%-43% approval, with a third strongly disapproving of the president’s performance. This is a substantial degree of polarization so early in the administration. Mr. Obama has lost virtually all of his Republican support and a good part of his Independent support, and the trend is decidedly negative.

And never mind that the Dow had its best week since last November.&#160 Although this story details Obambi talking out his ass today, he did the same thing yesterday – and at the time, the dow dropped to 70 down from previous day’s close.

The simple fact of the matter is that every time the Ayatollah Obambi opens his skanky piehole, the economy slides.&#160 One wonders if he’s sufficiently intelligent to eventually put two and two together.

Personally, I doubt it.&#160 And more & more, other Americans are beginning to doubt it, too.

The Department of That’s Gratitude For Ya&#153 earns its pay for the week by bringing us this little nugget about the biggest fucking ingrates on the planet.

The White House objected Thursday to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s description of the United States as a “deadbeat” donor to the world body.

Ban used the phrase Wednesday during a private meeting with lawmakers at the Capitol, one day after he met with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office.

Only one day after meeting with the Ayatollah, He Whose First Ho’ Is Only Now Proud Of The US&#153

Give the Head Gook&#153 mad props for being a quick study, if nothing else.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Ban’s “word choice was unfortunate,” given that the U.S. is the largest contributor to the United Nations.

The United States pays 22 percent of the organization’s nearly $5 billion operating budget but is perennially late paying its dues.

Hmf.&#160 They’re damned lucky we pay Penny One&#153 of any&#160 of that, period.

On the other hand, just as a f’rinstance – they don’t have to pay parking tickets – and they’re notoriously piss-poor drivers.&#160 One wonders how many third-world economies could be funded just by the Useless Nitwits paying just half of those fines…?

Asked whether Ban should retract his comment, Gibbs said some recognition by Ban of the U.S. role would be appropriate.

“I think given the contribution that the American taxpayer makes, I do think it would be appropriate to acknowledge that role,” Gibbs told reporters at his daily briefing.

Damn skippy, Gibbs, ol’ boy.&#160 Start with that huge building complex up there, on land generally considered to be supreme primo.&#160 That complex, in & of itself, ought to take care of our so-called “obligation” in perpetuity, IYAM.

Then again, if you ask me, the UN ought to be nuked.&#160 Hard.

Ban, apparently concerned about his choice of words, issued a statement late Wednesday saying the U.S. “generously supports the work of the U.N., both in assessed and voluntary contributions.” Ban also said he enjoys “an excellent working relationship with the United States and appreciates the many ways that it supports the United Nations.”

Yeah, I’ll just bet.

Smarmy little pisspot.

Now, about those parking tickets…

And to think we wanted this bozo for the GOP.

Sen. Joe Lieberman has changed his tune on Barack Obama.

After campaigning across the country for Republican John McCain in 2008 and attacking Obama as naive, untested and unwilling to take on powerful special interests, Lieberman now showers praise on the popular new Democratic president.

One wonders what he was promised in Demoscum caucus.&#160 How does one go from ripping B. HUSSEIN!!!&#160 Obambi and endorsing his opponent for President to donning the Lewinsky kneepads in six short months?

“He’s shown real leadership,” Lieberman told The Associated Press in an interview. “Bottom line: I think Barack Obama, president of the United States, is off to a very good start.”

Oh, yeah, right.&#160 Wow.&#160 Dow down by half from it’s all-time high just last year, the Ayatollah can hardly nominate anyone to Cabinet or underling posts to save his pathetic life (they just had another one&#160 back out the other day!), getting dissed by those who aren’t our friends and completely dissing the ones who are…yeah, Lieberman, that’s a helluva start, alright.

The Connecticut independent, who faces re-election in 2012 in a state where Obama is popular, is eager to mend fences with Democrats still fuming over his criticism of Obama during the general election campaign.

Lieberman has applauded Obama’s national security team. He gushed over Obama’s “inspirational and unifying” inaugural. Lieberman even played a key role helping Obama win Senate passage of the economic stimulus plan.

In other words, when it suited his purposes to make nicey-nicey eyes at the GOP, he inched a bit right and sidled up to McRINO.&#160 But now that he once again has the hots for the Demoscum…

As if to underscore the point, Lieberman has even clashed on the Senate floor with his pal McCain over the stimulus plan and a District of Columbia voting rights bill.

…then it’s time to throw the Republicans – even the liberal RINOs – under the Al-Obambi bus, isn’t it, “Pal” Joey?

“I don’t think of Joe as the independent, I really think of Joe as a Democrat,” said Lieberman’s home state colleague, Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.

There’s your money shot, right there.

Now don’t get me wrong.&#160 This shift left (if it’s really a shift at all) doesn’t surprise me in the least.&#160 (Remember the parable of the scorpion & the frog.)&#160 What it does&#160 do is piss me off even more at the GOP, who had brief wet dreams of bringing this worthless piece of leftist crap into the party and poisoning it even further.

Memo to the GOP:&#160 This is why you lose elections.&#160 You cozy the fuck up to the Donktards, and you completely ignore the conservative base that got you the White House five out of the last seven elections, and complete control of Congress from ’94 – ’04.

It’s when you make eyes at the Left that the Right deserts you.&#160 If you bastards would just develop a spine, you might find yourself with solid majorities again.

Lieberman’s campaigning for McCain hurt him with Connecticut voters, particularly Democrats, Schwartz said.

Connecticut’s Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who is mentioned as a possible 2012 Senate Democratic candidate, would beat Lieberman by 28 points in a hypothetical matchup, a recent Quinnipiac poll showed.

Might as well.&#160 Like the salt that’s lost its flavor, it’s time to toss Lieberman out and trample his political remains underfoot.

And to think – for a time, the GOP wanted this turd.

Ew.&#160

Generally, guys, I distrust the media.

MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, K’HADIBAK’H:&#160 NAWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Hush, you.

MERLIN, KORRIOTH, OZY, K’HADIBAK’H:&#160

Anyway, this from a member of the Fifth Column Fourth Estate brought a chuckle to my day.

Spew & nod warnings.

Guys, we are gathered here today to witness the execution of Douchebag Jackfag’s SCBBS! access…yes, Lieutenant?

T-BONE MCMANX:&#160 Message coming in from South Buckystan, m’Liege.&#160 Decrypting now.

VENOMOUS:&#160 Okay, let’s have it.

[McManx hands the datapad to His Rudeness.]

IT’Z BEEN WHILE SINCE IV HADZ CHEW TOY.

IF U CAN GIT TEH CHEW TOY 2 KEEP COMIN BAK, I’M ALL 4 LETTIN IT WANDR TEH HALLS.

[Venomous smacks Ozy upside the head.]

VENOMOUS:&#160 Dammit, McManx!!&#160 How many times have I told you?!&#160 DO NOT USE THE LOLCAT DECRYPT ON TRANSMISSIONS FROM BUCKYSTAN!!!!!

T-BONE MCMANX (rubbing head gingerly):&#160 Aye, sir.

…

Okay, HDD, you win.&#160 He’s all yours.

For now.

Douchebag, you’re on a short leash.

Denizens, this should make for some nice reading for you guys until tonight, when we shall bring the airlock controls online and have ourselves a public “execution”.

(In other words, Douchebag Jackoff, I’ve denied your request at clemency, and I’m throwing your skanky ass off my site this evening.&#160 And I’m going to milk it for all it’s worth, and enjoy every last fucking minute of it.&#160 &#160 )

This is just a tad bit disturbing.

In a chilling indication that Iran’s arms program is advancing steadily, Israel acknowledged for the first time that Teheran had mastered the technology to make a nuclear bomb on the same day that the Iranians announced they had successfully tested a new air-to-surface missile.

Iran has “crossed the technological threshold,” and its attainment of nuclear military capability is now a matter of “incorporating the goal of producing an atomic bomb into its strategy,” OC Military Intelligence Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin told the cabinet on Sunday.

“Iran is continuing to amass hundreds of kilograms of low-enriched uranium, and it hopes to exploit the dialogue with the West and Washington to advance toward the production of an atomic bomb,” he said.

Israel, it’s not like you’ve ever needed our permission to defend yourselves.&#160 What in hell is the holdup?

Denizens, one of our trolls is back.

The Aussie pussy known as “dj” (not to be confused with DJ Allyn, the American&#160 pussy who majored in Coffee Brewing 101 at Seattle Community College) – or, as I like to refer to her, “Douchebag Jackslurper” – has come and left three little turds on our nice carpet here.

(And I do mean little&#160 – hell, this crapweasel’s not even as good as ol’ Radical Redneck‘s impersonation of Um Yeah a couple years back.)

Question:&#160 Do y’all want a crack at her, or should the dipshit be tossed out the airlock?

Discuss.

Oh, and Douchebag, you little dickweed – the original offer still stands:&#160 Try being a man for once and come say it to my face.

I’ll make your ass-whipping long & painful, promise.&#160

Um, ‘scuse me for saying so – but wasn’t that $25 billion or so of our tax dollars supposed to help put the kibosh on – oh, I dunno – this???

General Motors auditors have looked at the company’s dismal sales and its crushing debt and sky-high costs and said that the current factors “raise substantial doubt about [GM’s] ability to continue as a going concern.”

It may be hard to imagine a more grim report: Despite already cutting thousands of jobs, pledging to eliminate three brands and receiving more than $13 billion in government loans, GM — one of the Big Three U.S. automakers — is still on the brink.

Hmmm.&#160 I definitely seem to remember that if they didn’t get that money RIGHT FUCKIN’ NOW!!!!!,&#160 that was a-gonna be it for ol’ GM.&#160 Yessirreebob&#153, they wuz a-gonna take their marbles ‘n go home, they wuz, ayup.

The company is seeking nearly $17 billion more in government aid to keep running. But today’s 402-page annual report said that even an influx of government cash may not be enough to keep GM in business.

So, basically, we’ve blown roughly $25 billion to the auto companies, and it hasn’t helped one.&#160 Motherfucking.&#160 Bit.&#160 Do I have that about right?

Oh, BTW, anyone notice that Al-Obambi’s Down Jones took yet another nosedive into territory not seen in 12 years?

Nice going, Demoscum.&#160 Dat dere’s summa dat Hopenchange&#153, it is, ayup.&#160

He’s gone.&#160 The grand experiment is over.

ESPN is reporting that the C’boys have kicked Widdle Terri Owens to the curb.

Memo to Widdle Terri: This is what happens when your mouth is more wide open than your hands.

(Hat tip to Azygos.)

This says it all.&#160 No translation necessary.

I tend to think that the majority of the military will have our six.

Yawn.

This is starting to get boring.&#160 Yippee.&#160 Ha-ha.&#160 Whee.

Yet Another Obambi Nominee Tax Cheat&#153.&#160 If this doesn’t fucking stop, I’m going to give it its own category.

Johnny Olson (RIP), who’s our next contestant today to come down the tax-evading pike?&#160 Why, it’s our old enemy, Ron “You Go To Hell” Kirk The Jerk.

Add former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk to the list of Obama Cabinet picks with tax problems.

The Senate Finance Committee says he underpaid by $9,975 in the last three years.

Senate aides uncovered the shortfall during weeks of vetting, and Kirk – the administration’s designated point person on trade — has promised to pay the Internal Revenue Service in full.

One of Malkin’s commenters had it bang-on:&#160 If you wanna collect on all the back taxes owed to the US gummint, all ya has t’ do is nominate ’em to serve in Al-Obambi.

Would probably make a huge-assed dent in our deficit right there.&#160

The Department of Way Too Much Damned Information&#153 brings us this retch-inducing piece of trivia.

The quote itself will go below the fold, just because I at least have some&#160 compassion for my Denizens.

Gather ’round, Denizens, gather ’round.

Mark the date & time.&#160 I’m about to say something dramatically monumental.&#160 Or monumentally dramatic.&#160 Something I never thought I’d hear myself say ever again.

MERLIN:&#160 You’re getting married again.

[Venomous throws his outstretched hand at Merlin and sautées him with Force-lightning.]

VENOMOUS:&#160 Shut.&#160 The.&#160 Fuck.&#160 UP.

MERLIN:&#160 Ow.

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 Then what, m’liege?

Simple, really, guys.

I was wrong.&#160 Very wrong, and massively stupid to boot.

ALL:&#160

That’s right, guys.&#160 I’m admitting to massive judgmental error-ery.

KORRIOTH:&#160 Who are you and what have you done with Lord Venomous?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Shut up for a minute and I’ll explain.

As you guys’ll recall, about a month ago, I rendered an opinion positive on the election of one Michael Steele as RNC chair-type-person.

I said, and I quote:

Steele is an unabashed, unapologetic conservative, the first since Haley Barbour in this humble scribe’s opinion. He will provide dynamic leadership as we strive to rebuild the party from the disasterous era of “compassionate conservatism” and Demoscum-lite-ness.

Well, after reading about what Steele really thinks of Rush, I’m throwing the bullshit flag on myself.&#160 15 yard penalty, loss of down, fourth down.

On the same night he was offering the keynote address to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Rush Limbaugh drew criticism from an unlikely source: Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.

In a little-noticed interview Saturday night, Steele dismissed Limbaugh as an “entertainer” whose show is “incendiary” and “ugly.”

And when failed half-assed suckweed excuse-for-a-comedienne – no, that’s not a typo – D.L. Hughley likened Limbaugh & the CPAC attendees to Nazis…the son-of-a-bitch Widdle Mikey Steele Linguini sat there with his thumb up his ass and let it go.

A real chairman would have called Hughley the race-baiting fuckstick that he is.&#160 A real man would invite the ball-less little shitheel outside for an ass-whipping of gargantuan proportions.

Anytime you’re ready, Dick Lick.

As for Mr. Linguini, he supposedly called Rush later Monday to, quote unquote, “stop the feud”.&#160 The damage, however, has been done, and it’s probably irreparable at this point.

Rush said it best earlier today on his show:

Now, Mr. Steele, if it is your position as the chairman of the Republican National Committee that you want a left wing Democrat president and a left wing Democrat Congress to succeed in advancing their agenda, if it’s your position that you want President Obama and Speaker Pelosi and Senate Leader Harry Reid to succeed with their massive spending and taxing and nationalization plans, I think you have some explaining to do. Why are you running the Republican Party? Why do you claim you lead the Republican Party when you seem obsessed with seeing to it that President Obama succeeds? I frankly am stunned that the chairman of the Republican National Committee endorses such an agenda. I have to conclude that he does because he attacks me for wanting it to fail.

Steele, you stupid-ass, you’re either with us or you’re with the socialist scum on the Left.&#160 And if you want conservative money lining the coffers of the GOP, it probably behooves you, dumbshit, to get on your hands and knees before the base of our party – the base that, frankly, keeps you assclowns in business! – start kissing our feet and try to convince us that all that pathetic display amounted to was nothing more than a putrid brain-fart.

What you fail to understand, Mikey, is that conservatives were already sufficiently pissed-off to make your life a living hell BEFORE&#160 you opened your skanky piehole.

Throwing Rush and his conservative listener base under the bus like the Ayatollah does with his tax-cheating Cabinet-pick du jour&#160 is not&#160 gonna win friends & influence people, idiot.&#160 Especially&#160 if you’re going on national cable TV endorsing&#160 the plans of someone who’s ostensibly your opponent, no?

“Shaky start”?&#160 Trust me, Mikey, you doofus:&#160 Rush was being nice.

Your ass oughta be fired.&#160 Like, yesterday.
