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

Like a lot of you, Denizens, I’ve used PayPal in the past.&#160 Used it to pay for everything from 3rd-rate dating sites (yeah, I’m looking at you, Date.com)…

MRS. VENOMOUS:&#160 WHAT?!?!?!!!1!!ONE?!!1???!&#160 (picks up skillet)

VENOMOUS:&#160 Would you relax, honey?&#160 This was before I met you.

MRS. VENOMOUS:&#160 Hmf.&#160 (puts skillet down)

See what I gotta put up with around here?

Anyway, third-rate dating sites to sending Emperor Misha the occasional stipend for…well, for just being Emperor and so he can take the Brood&#153 out to dinner every so often.&#160 Plus, he’s a helluva friend.

But, as usual, I digress.&#160 PayPal just lost my business.&#160 And this is why.

Paypal is calling Atlas a “hate” site and will close my account if I do not remove the paypal option from my website. Accurate reporting and news is hate.

Truth is the new hate speech:

[…]

Dear Pamela Geller,

We appreciate the fact that you chose PayPal to send and receive payments
for your transactions.

However, after a recent review of your account, it has been determined that
you are currently in violation of PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy. Under
the Acceptable Use Policy, PayPal may not be used to send or receive
payments for items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance or the
financial exploitation of a crime.

The complete Acceptable Use Policy can be found at the following URL:

We are hereby notifying you that it has been determined that you are in
violation of PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy regarding payments received
from website: http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/.

This is what speaking the truth gets you now:&#160 Blacklisted by those who supposedly want our business.

(SIDE NOTE:&#160 I filed this under “Islamonazism-ery” because it’s very likely that a complaint from some jihadist pussy is fueling this bullshit action against Pamela.&#160 Don’t like it, ragheads?&#160 Come tell me to my face, chickenshits.)

Commenter Pasadena Phil at this Gates Of Vienna thread (actual comment here), went so far as to cancel his account and tell them why.&#160 So, I took the liberty of a little cut-&-paste job and followed suit, emailing PayPal thusly:

It has just come to my attention that PayPal is now engaging in the punitive and politically lopsided practice of canceling PayPal accounts from online news and blogging sites that it deems “hate sites”. It came to my attention because one of those sites is Pamela Geller’s very respected and popular “Atlas Shrugs”. I am very concerned about this because it is not PayPal’s business to play politics nor is it good business. And to show what a very bad idea your policy is, I want to cancel my account. I have other alternatives than to subsidize yet another Marxist online company.

I suggest you do likewise.&#160 Demonstrate to PayPal just what folly it is to don Islamo-kneepads at the expense of pissing off their customer base.

Denizens, The Six Or Seven Of You&#153 may have noticed that This Fine Blog&#153 looks a little different today than yesterday.

What it boils down to is that I widened the page just a skosh…

KORRIOTH (slightly twisted face, as if he doesn’t understand what I just said):&#160 A “skosh”?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Yes, Kor.&#160 A skosh.

KORRIOTH (with a slight dip of his bumpy head):&#160 As you wish, m’lord.

Anyway…

KORRIOTH:&#160 And I happen to like&#160 my head, TendJewBerryMud&#153

[His Rudeness&#153 looks sideways at Merlin]

VENOMOUS:&#160 It’s gonna be OneOfThoseDays&#153, isn’t it?

MERLIN:&#160 Don’t look at me, Purple Eyes.&#160 You&#160 started it.

VENOMOUS (looking resignedly skyward):&#160 Damned non-union labor…

CREW:&#160

Okay, where were we…?

KORRIOTH:&#160 “Skosh”.

Oh, yeah.&#160 Right.

Anyway, it just looks a little better – and it paves the way for the new banner up at the top there.

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 Mark Davis been giving you hell about the upside-down flags again?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Mark Davis gives me hell about nothing, Ozy.&#160 At least he – unlike some&#160 fictitious people I know – knows better.

K’HADIBAK’H:&#160 Had to remind us that we’re all figments of your imagination again, didn’t you?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Would you all prefer that I exercise my option to lay all your fictitious, non-union asses off?&#160 Economy’s hitting me hard too, y’know.

CREW:&#160 Eep.

Anyway, the banner serves two purposes:&#160 1) it’s new, sort of, and I like the way it looks, and 2) it’s in tribute and ideological solidarity with the folks over at Sipsey Street Irregulars, the link to which you’ll find down there on the left.

Henceforth, let the libtards beware.&#160 We Are Everywhere&#153…heh…heh…heh…&#160

(Hat tip Doug Powers off a buzzworthy from Michelle Malkin.)

The “Down Is Up, Up Is Down” Department, seeing His Rudeness&#153 feeling like crap the last few days, has decided to try and brighten his mood by telling him a funny.

I mean, how else&#160 could you explain Kaiser Wilhelm von Slickmeister going all PotKettleBlack&#153 on us, hm?

Former President Clinton has sent out a fundraising letter on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee under his own name warning that Republicans are trying to “derail’ President Obama’s agenda.

Gee, he says that like it’s a Bad Thing&#153…

Yes, Der Kaiser, but we’re not trying to “derail”-sneer-quotes it, we’re trying to derail it.

Destroy it.

Disrupt it.

Put.&#160 A.&#160 Fuckin’.&#160 Stop.&#160 To.&#160 It.

What specific part of that does your feeble, one-track-only-and-that’s-sex mind not effing understand, hmmm?

Oxford must have been pretty damned desperate to have taken you as a student, lemme tell ya.

Not much unexpected there.

Well, at least someone&#160 at the Post gets it.

But along with the letter, Clinton has included a flyer from the DSCC that’s bound to raise eyebrows.

Okay, Denizens, last warning.&#160 I’m putting the money-quote here below the fold.&#160 Make sure you’re sitting down before you open it up.&#160 MASSIVE SPEW WARNINGS.

“DSCC funds go towards efforts to unseat far-right Republican senators like admitted sinner David Vitter…” the flyer says, referring to the Louisiana senator who admitted patronizing a prostitution service when he was in the House.

“Like admitted sinner&#160 David Vitter…”?&#160 This from Mr. “I did not have sexual relateions with that woman” himself?&#160 The ex-Philanderer-in-Briefs dares&#160 fling boulders at a candidate for office from his microscope-slide-glass-thin bunker?&#160 He whom brother Roger claimed “had a nose like a vacuum cleaner” is accusing someone else, anyone else, of being a sinner?????

Ohhh.&#160 Emmmmm.&#160 Effffff.&#160 Geeeeeee.&#160 (That’s “OMFG” for those of you in the Church of the SubTarded.)

Okay, Department of “Down Is Up, Up Is Down” – you guys win.

BWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…!!!ONE!1!ELEVEN!1!!1

(snort!)

In reading stuff while looking for material, we are saddened to find out that Hugh Slatery, author of the WizBang blog, has passed of a heart attack at 53.

Don’t read WizBang all that much, but always enjoyed it when I was there.&#160 Hugh was a damned good writer, and the Realm&#153 will miss the hell out of him.

All our condolences & best wishes to the Slatery family.

So sad, really.

Miley Cyrus has caused yet more controversy during her promotional trip to Britain – the star shocked fans by flashing her underwear at a gig in London over the weekend.

The teenage star took to the stage and once again faked a smooch with a female dancer during her rendition of new single “Can’t Be Tamed.”

She then stripped off her shirt to reveal a mini-dress, with a bare midriff and cut-out panels around the thighs, and showed off her underwear during a series of dance moves.

Shame, Miley.&#160 Given who your dad is, we out here were hoping you’d spare us a modicum of angst by not becoming a clone of Britney Spears.&#160 That you might grow up to be someone we’d want our daughters to emulate – someone wholesome, upright, even pure (relatively speaking, anyway).

Guess we can’t have everything we want in life, huh?

(Hat tip:&#160 Dan Riehl.)

So help me Cthulu, I don’t know whether to laugh my ass off or issue a CSITMF&#153.

KORRIOTH:&#160 That depends.&#160 Do you want a horde of Secret Service agents at your door?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Guess it’s time to roll on the floor, huh?

MERLIN:&#160 We’d say so, m’liege.

Here, Denizens, come have a look at this:

Ex-fuckin’-scuse me?&#160 “Whose ass to kick”?!?!?!?!?!?!

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 Does seem a little out of place, doesn’t it, Admiral?

VENOMOUS:&#160 “Whose ass&#160 to kick”?????

KORRIOTH:&#160 I perceive you’re having some difficulty getting past that part of the interview.

VENOMOUS:&#160 “Whose ass&#160 to kick”?!?!!!1!!ONE!1!ELEVENTEENTY!?!

K’HADIBAK’H:&#160 He’s having trouble with it.

Let’s be clear about one thing, sports fans.&#160 Bambi is, without any doubt or question whatsoever, the biggest pussy&#160 ever to occupy the White House – and yes, I’m including Jimmuh “Peanuthead” Carter in that group.&#160 This wussbag wouldn’t last five minutes against my dear, sainted grandmother (God rest her soul).&#160 This pansy-ass would not only hit&#160 like a girl, he’d slap-fight&#160 like a girl, too.

And he’s going to (snx)…to…(snnnnick)…to…(mmmmmf)…“kick some ass”

BWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…!!! (snort)

(Sorry, Denizens.&#160 I’m gonna be out of pocket for a few hours.&#160 Anyone got some oxygen?)

BWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…!!!!!!11!1!ELEVENDOZENTY!1!1!!!!!

Y’know, some enterprising young – er, um – “goodfella” (yeah, that’s right, that’s the ticket, yeah)…might go up to a certain coffee shop in Portland – and, um, engage in some…uh…”transactory business”.

Yeah.&#160 Right.&#160 There ya go.

And if the local gendarmes&#160 managed to…oh, I dunno…be on a donut break around that time – well, I’m not a Portland resident, of course, but I’d be inclined to forgive such a donut break, y’know?

Nothing today, guys.&#160 Between studying for certifications, cooking dinner and sweating my ass off in this Dutch oven of an apartment, wasn’t much time to do much of anything.

Maybe tomorrow.

Item:&#160 The SeaHag of the media, Helen Tom-ass Thomas, opened her skanky piehole the other day and let slip what we’d all known for a while that the Demoscum thought about the Jooooooooooos:

(It’s below the fold – I do have at least a little&#160 compassion for youse guys.)

Item:&#160 Ol’ SeaHag issued an apology today on her website (helenthomas.org – go put it in yourself; she’s not worthy of a SpatulaLink):

Helen Thomas issued the following statement today: “I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians. They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon.”

Well, if it’s forgiveness&#160 for which you’re asking, Hag, I suppose we can do that.&#160 We are&#160 commanded to by our Lord & Savior, after all.

But forgiveness is not pardon, you old, senile-assed bimbo.&#160 Hearst won’t do it, but I’d fire your ass on the spot with not a dime’s worth of severance.

Let your libtard groupies support you going forward after that.&#160 If they can raise any money selling patchouli oil, that is.

UPDATE:&#160 And, rather than face the music, aka the expected firing in disgrace by Hearst News Services, the SeaHag has seen her personal “Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin” and decided to get out while the gettin’s good (hat tip:&#160 The Laughing Man on the Rott).

Good.&#160 Fucking.&#160 Riddance.

(Hat tip to Doug Powers from over at Michelle’s site.)

Paul McCartney is going senile.

At a Whine House (no, no typo) function – and GollyGeeWhiz&#153, isn’t it nice how Bambi can play golf, take Memorial Day vacations in Shitcago and party-hardy while beaches along the Gulf Coast are awash in the residue of his oil spill? – He Who Got His Ass Whipped By A One-Legged Woman&#153 couldn’t help but try his own little dogpile on the last real&#160 President we had:

A sweet moment, but McCartney topped it off with a bite. After thanking the Library of Congress one last time, he let it rip: “After the last eight years, it’s good to have a president that knows what a library is.”

Really, McMoron?&#160 ‘Zat so, Paula?

Guess you’ve forgotten that President Bush attended both Harvard and&#160 Yale.&#160 And, unlike your honey boy Jugears McHopenchange, Bush hasn’t gone to the ends of the earth to hide his&#160 transcripts.

Guess you’ve also&#160 forgotten that Bush is married&#160 to a librarian.&#160 Haven’t you, you little tossing dumb-arse (a little British slang lingo, there)?

At least Bush had more intelligence than to let his wife screech with him in his post-Beatle days (*cough*Wings*cough*), huh?

Take your ass back across the pond, Paula, you little pissweasel.&#160 Bambi needs to “Get Back” to work.

Item:&#160 OwlBore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage.

Reaction:&#160 Looks like Al’s mistress – Mommy Gaia – finally won out.&#160 (Shame Tipper can’t sue the earth for alienation of affection.)

Folks, by now all have likely heard of the dust-up off the coast of the Gaza strip. As we all know, the lame stream media is making Israel out to be a bunch of criminal thugs. Checking with Fox, it seems that all is not as some would have us to believe.

It appears that our Palestinian friends were more interested in the confrontation, than in getting the supplies into Gaza. This makes their claims against the IDF even more suspect than normal.
