the Kommisariat's Kontinuing Kronicles: more right-wingery in the USA, 2k11-12

D'Souza now officially a parasite on the body of the crazy right.

i meant "any more," btw, as in, any more than i already do. there will never be a time when i have stopped hating dinesh d'souza.

until they go after Obama's daughters, that is the worst thing I've ever read

When he says about her size I just want to hit him and keep hitting him as if he is personally responsible for every injustice in the world. What an execrable thing.

Meantime, stepping back into the realm of rhetoric, a post at Balloon Juice alerted me to this: a conversation between said poster and a visiting collague of his -- Ta-Nehisi Coates -- on the writing of "Fear of a Black President." Deeply inside baseball perhaps but it's a study of how one can write above all else:

...Have you ever wondered what America might be like with the liberals firmly in control of the White House and once again both chambers of the national legislature? Caine's Pestilence, a novel of political commentary and intrigue, fictionally explores the possibilities...

When John Caine, an obscure midlevel banker from Detroit, accepts the opportunity of a lifetime to manage the backroom business functions of an important National Institutes of Health research lab in Bethesda, he believes his ship has finally come in. But his quirky penchant for illicit tinkering results in the creation and accidental release of a powerful new virus with effects no one could have imagined. Only he holds the answer to how it can be stopped, and he's not telling. Caine finds himself confronted with a desperate White House and an onslaught of rage from all quarters of the world's bureaucracies.

Fast paced, provocative, and offbeat, this cautionary story is thick with political satire and intrigue. It occurs in a world of government turned upside down, where Nancy Pelosi is president of a dysfunctional United States under her ultraliberal regime, while George Bush is a convicted felon and Rush Limbaugh a fugitive. Caine's Pestilence brings together present and former U.S. presidents, would-be assassins, two Supreme Court chief justices, familiar national media political commentators, and the infamous prison at Guantanamo Bay, all in a story readers will find engaging and controversial.

I was hesitant about this novel (a first novel with a anti Democratic message), but I thought what the hell. For 3 bucks I'll read it on my Kendall then maybe write a review about how bad it was. After reading the first chapter I was thinking what a wast of money this was, I'm glad that I continued reading.
I found this book to be a interesting peak at what hard core right-wingers truly believe will happen with the Democrats in full control, Taro-card readings paid for by government as a medical expense, free pot and heroin provided by the government etc...
This book is written in an interesting style John writing his memoir while siting in a cell next to Dubya in Guantanamo Bay. The basic point of the story is what would happen if you could magically eliminate prejudice and baseless hate (I don't think that they would turn Republicon as the book implies).
Nancy Pelosi becomes President when a (Blackwater like) Company Assassinates Obama then frames Biden for it ( this is more likely to happen now that John Boehner is Speaker of the House).
I would recommend this book if you want insight on how right wingers view Democrats.

Glenn Beck loves Muse, expresses that love in written form

Muse, the Spider-Man musical, the dude really acts as a lodestone for what to avoid.

"The fellow who wrote this take suggests that in Chicago it was well known that both Amb. Stevesn, his lover and Obama were flaming Queens, and in one take he even suggested that a dead Ambassador was a preferred outcome, he can talk-no more"

woah. reading the comments on that westernjournalism story is like peeking into a basement stuffed full of tinfoil-wearing racist nutjobs.

From Perlstein's piece:

These are bedtime stories, meant for childlike minds. Or, more to the point, they are in the business of producing childlike minds. Conjuring up the most garishly insatiable monsters precisely in order to banish them from underneath the bed, they aim to put the target to sleep.

Dishonesty is demanded by the alarmist fundraising appeal because the real world doesn’t work anything like this. The distance from observable reality is rhetorically required; indeed, that you haven’t quite seen anything resembling any of this in your everyday life is a kind of evidence all by itself. It just goes to show how diabolical the enemy has become. He is unseen; but the redeemer, the hero who tells you the tale, can see the innermost details of the most baleful conspiracies. Trust him. Send him your money. Surrender your will—and the monster shall be banished for good.

That water boarding shirt could get them very, very sued. The American Red Cross comes down on that shit like a hammer.

Somebody should be a dear and notify them (the Red Cross) then...

FREEDOM IS A HAMMER

Janet Greene sings eloquently of the insidious communist threat (The Hunter And The Bear), Tony Dolan vigorously defends Senator Joseph McCarthy (Abolish, Abolish!) and Vera Vanderlaan reminds us that the price of freedom is preparedness and eternal vigilance (Freedom Is A Hammer).

And when they were singing these songs, no one gave a rat's ass.

man, this guy

Your only recourse left is to the scream from the mountaintops to anyone that will listen, that "Dean Chambers reneged on a bet over the presidential race he lost the bet and won't pay." Good luck with that.
