As Mirna and I flew back from Europe last year, I videotaped Greenland from 40,000 feet, and noticed the island seemed . . . green. I've seen Greenland a number of times, and it's never looked quite so - ah, let's just say, melty. Some day I'll dig up that recording and post it here.
In the meantime, keep in mind THE REDNECKS IN PENSACOLA ARE FACING THE FACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

Not so fun is watching the less thoughtful sorts on the left act equally foolish.
Some are claiming photographic evidence indicates Wilson planned this outburst, and informed others of it beforehand.
Of course, facts about Wilson that make him look even stupider than he already looks is premium stuff by me. But it's got to be actual facts.
Take a look at the photo:
Based on the fact it's a sharply focused snapshot -- meaning the photographer had to have been in on the "planned event" -- and the fact those around him aren't reacting to his outburst -- meaning they'd also have to have been in on it, some are saying Wilson not only planned to yell at the uppity boy, but had the balls to let everyone know about his plans beforehand (everyone except the President and his administration, that is).Does this really seem logical? Is it not possible there's a simpler explanation?
Of course it's not logical. Of course there's a simpler explanation:
As you'll notice, Wilson shouted "YOU LIE!" twice. The first time, heard in this video at 11 seconds (between President Obama's repeated "the reforms...") was not noticed by most, but was noticed by Pelosi; she turns to Joe Biden and seems to say something like, "who was that?" or "that Joe Wilson is an asshole."
The second time he shouts is the one everyone heard, at roughly 15 seconds into the clip.
In fact, a replay of the entire thing seems to reveal someone was doing a lot of shouting during the speech. My bet Wilson was that someone.
Obviously the people around Joe Wilson (R - redneck) were so numb to his bellyaching by that point they chose to do what most people would do in that situation -- pretend to ignore him (most with really bad poker faces). Sorta what you do when a crazy street person is talking to himself.
And some photographer, after hearing the first outburt, was quick on his/her feet; the second "YOU LIE" was practically a gimme at that point.
So, the idiot right wing nutbag probably planned nothing of the sort. I think there was no conspiracy after all.
Anyone genuinely convinced this was a planned event is either (a) not intellectually curious enough to have re-examined the video, or (b) curious enough to have re-examined the video, but too stupid to then recognize the simpler explanation.

Not exactly sure what this story is all about.
I mean, I get the general idea.
But once I get past the second paragraph, I'm all "I like money."
Just keep the cool gadgets coming, fellas.

Or is it squirter?

In either case, let's give the marshmallow a big hand for the depth of his self-awareness.
How many men, really, have probed their cranial love canal so very thoroughly as Beck?

Carter says Obama row is 'racist'" - BBC, 16 Sep 09... of course it is. To paraphrase the drug-addled gasbag himself, the GOP's opposition to President Obama is "TOTALLY ABOUT RACE!"
Did we not all see South Carolina's Joe Wilson, histrionically teething last week in Congress? (Too bad, instead of wailing "you lie," he didn't do one of those mmmBULLSHIT sneezes).
But let's get real, right? When one of ten (R)s who proudly belong to some such, decidedly anti-black Sons of 19th Century Losers organization (having no [D]s aboard), wags his inadequate, pale index finger at the country's first African-American president, it's kinda obvious. No?
"Is Your Baby Racist? " - Newsweek, 14 Sep 09
... is this article telling me we can ID conservatives before they're born? Alas, no. In fact, it's a gimmicky way of telling us a study at the university of Texas concluded babies can tell which other babies resemble them, and which do not.
Ten bucks says Michael Weiner-Savage will be the first to scream "EUGENICS! The left is after our babies!"
Should've bet me; Limbaugh has already whined about this story, and some bozo on PrisonPlanet, in his temper tantrum, identifies Austin, TX as "the Berkley of the Southwest." Isn't Berkley already the Berkley of the Southwest?

After all, it's the thought that counts.
Looks like the great gas bag himself, Rump Leakage, has created a similarly obscene waste of resources. Kinda like his show.

Imagine the lonely Gigabytes of unused space on those DVDs. Seriously, how much could this jackoff come up with... eight minutes?
Look at the picture in this promo. The "best or rush" here is him reading from his own fucking book. You could tape a picture of the lardass on your wall, pop in a books-on-tape of "See, I Told You So" (or is it, "Nanny boo boo, I'm right and you eat boogers"?), and save the S&H.
For the minimum 30 minute fill that'd leave 22 minutes for commercials. Mmmmm... capitalism at work. Probably pushing more Pigboy pap.
Shit, did I really just say probably?
Underplayed, that one. A "little excellence," indeed.

Charlat An recommends you visit my "best of" pages.
Hard to believe it's been eight years since I started this page. Even harder to believe --I once cranked out respectable portions of actual satire.
SO, since I'm getting very short (about to deploy for 12 months), and may not be able to touch this site for awhile, I'll link to some of this site's past highlights...

Driving home from work today, scrolling through the (mostly conservative) poli-talk available from the satellite feed, and FOX News tells me a nasty bit of malware called Agent BTZ is currently infecting DoD computer systems. Not your typical spyware, this thing got past the firewall, and it seems the experts are baffled at it.
I knew the story's details already, but here's the thing: when I heard this, I nearly ran off the road - because IT'S CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. That is, it was classified information.
Until FOX News reported it.
Afer unwinding this afternoon, I ran an internet news search. Not surprisingly, dozens of news outlets have reported the gory details of Agent.BTZ for all the world to read.
Thanks Fucks news. Why do you guys hate America?

Funny how the "liberal" media only get the facts wrong when they echo Shemp Hannity talking points.
Just who is this clown Lee Cowan, and how is it his "investigative journalism" passes for anything but sloppy guesswork, or sheer laziness? This story had been debunked days before Cowan reported it here, by Norm Coleman's own lawyers.
I made the wrong career choice. Apparently "investigative" journalists don't really have to do anything but read from weeks-old cue cards.

In response to Rump Leakage 's recent blathering (specifically, his claim that the failing economy is Obama's fault), many will rightfully point out that it doesn't matter today nearly as much as it did two weeks ago what Limbaugh says (I refrain from using 'think,' as not even a drug addled gasbag would believe such a stupid assertion). But an analysis into this reaction by the left wing shows us it's more than a swipe at the ass-boil-having simpleton. It's more than a quick & easy dismissal of Limbaugh; his irrelevance is, in fact, the very reason he's acting dumber than usual. Limbaugh & his lemmings are a cancer on the GOP. They are single-handedly responsible for bringing the GOP to the point of ridicule we on the left currently relish. Now that the GOP has had its proverbial ass handed to it, more and more on the right are recognizing this. Thus, Limbaugh's sudden self-awareness.
Rump and the rest of the micropenis wing of the GOP were run out of town early during the primary season. The addition of Palin - a move obviously made to appeal to Limbaugh et al - was immediately recognized by the sensible right (Peggy Noonan, George Will, etc.) as a huge blunder. The filth the GOP had rid itself of had returned to the ticket, and even Noonan was caught on tape saying, "It's over."
As an individual, Rush Limbaugh is suddenly the albatross around the GOP's neck.
As a movement, Limbaugh-style radio is a pterodactyl (read: extinct bird) around the party's neck.
Enjoy your plunge into obscurity, Comedian Rush Limbaugh!!!

Everyone’s talking about Karl Rove and Mitch McConnell being pushed into obscurity; being the “biggest losers” of this obvious pro-Obama mandate. But there are others facing irrelevance. And someone has to break the news to them. So here goes:
Dear Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, et al,
Haven’t you realized you are the primary reason your party is now a regional party at best?
Blame Palin all you want; the facts state otherwise. When your two least favorite candidates became the GOP’s two final candidates for Republican nominee (Limbaugh et al hate John McCain and Mike Huckabee), did you actually fail to recognize most Republicans disagree with your viewpoints?
Dear The McLaughlin Group,
Your pre-taped discussions are a toaster-oven in today’s microwave world.
During the final weeks of the Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama contest, you were so out of sync with the streaming news cycle it was pitiful. This morning – just a few minutes ago – your synopsis of Obama’s victory was off my 1.5 million votes (McLaughlin actually posted the words "64 million"; those of us with a pulse know that figure passed 65 million over 24 hours ago, and will probably pass 66 million before it's all over), and fifteen electoral votes. Did you record your program so long ago NORTH CAROLINA WAS NOT YET KNOWN? Holy LAZINESS, Batman!
But your pundits are dinosaurs as well, and obviously equally unfit for the changing times. I got more accurate predictions from websites and up-to-date commercial cable networks – even FOX News -- than I did from your early 20th century personalities.
The weekend before the election your liberal “experts” predicted the election would be “close,” and that bimbo Monica Crowley actually predicted McCain would win by half a percentage point!
Dear Saturday Night Live,
You can thank one person for your recent surge in viewership: Tina Fey. But the election’s over, Fey’s back at her regular job, and we’re all rightfully expecting you to again become the unfunny, irrelevant crap you've been for several years now.
You know, Mad TV without all the editing.
