Robert Campbell Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If a President of the United States had been portrayed this way in a work of fiction, I'd have thought it was badly written.Check this out:http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/05/15/obama-drops-his-name-into-presidential-biographies/The Heritage Foundation’s Rory Cooper tweeted that Obama had casually dropped his own name into Ronald Reagan’s official biography on www.whitehouse.gov, claiming credit for taking up the mantle of Reagan’s tax reform advocacy with his “Buffett Rule” gimmick. My first thought was, he must be joking. But he wasn’t—it turns out Obama has added bullet points bragging about his own accomplishments to the biographical sketches of every single U.S. president since Calvin Coolidge (except, for some reason, Gerald Ford).Robert Campbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william.scherk Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) They shoot only runts, and they do that with the battery-operated bolt-gun through a fake bottle. Grim but final.A greater question of the bovine equine distinction that so rolls the philosophy of meat eating, one pesky reader of Dr Mrs Dr's Zany Advice site keeps asking her if she eats horse meat. And I think, what the hell? Lady just tirelessly campaigns for a lifting of onerous horse-slaughter regulations that cause undue suffering to transported old nags that have to go outside the USA to be killed and rendered. But because the good lady with the excellent short and sassy mane might eat babies if they were properly labeled as anencephalic and were organic, this means nothing in principle. Diana has decreed nothing about eating horse. Nothing.She wants horses not to be sent to their Final Solution, in, you guessed it, Canada. Land of abortion, horsemeat, gay naked marriage potsmoking brothels and all. Hell for humankind, hell for horses. She admits that. She wants horses humanely slaughtered in Colorado. In her backyard. For a price. An objective price.Does a petro sheik drink his oil? Does an architect eat his buldings? Does a pirate eat his stolen cargo? Would Diana eat her relatives?This is an important distinction to make lest we think Diana was being hypocritical. In ordinary circumstances she might support voluntary deportation to Canada for slaughter, for the pre-born, the socialist, and for the old nags. She is consistent here, and I respect that. If she would eat supermarket organic anencephale steak tartare or stillborn faux-brain (since they have none, rendering them food) croquettes with bacon,One Thing.Another Damn Thing -- eating the thing that looks at her through the window while she 'works' on her blogs and self-admiring promotional shills elsewhere.

Jonathan Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Speaking of Comrade Sonia's "radio show," now might be a good time to announce that I'm going to be starting a philosophical "TV show," probably some time next week. When I pick up my dog at her doggie daycare facility I'm going to take advantage of their webcams (look for my show on the "lobby cam" or the "play area 2 cam"). I'll post more info about my first "show" once I've nailed down the date, chosen a topic, and maybe found a guest to interview. If you want to pay me to wear a t-shirt or hat or something with your company logo on it during my "show," send me a private message and we can negotiate the details.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the side I've been marketing my own line of Droog Masks, inspired by the film A Clockwork Orange. How would you feel about modeling one on your show? First we'll have to have a look at you to figure out if you're an Alex or a Dim. Or maybe Pete, or the other guy. These don't have logos on them (that would ruin the effect, obviously) so we'll need you to include a link in the credits. We'll discuss the "promotional consideration" aspect offline.

Jonathan Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thank you all for supporting my television program! I never imagined that people would be lining up to pay me to discuss philosophy. It brings tears to my eyes to see how hungry people are for good philosophical programming, and that they're looking to me to lead the way!Thanks again so much!JP.S. Ninth, I think I'd prefer to go with the Dim mask. That way I can use it as a prop to segue into a discussion on Peikoff's DIM hypothesis. Plus I think it would go better with the nipple clips and sun bonnet than the Alex mask would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
