John Bolton's Peace Prize Nomination Papers
(
A Precision Guided Humor Assignment cross-posted from
IMAO)
I was tickled pink to discover that hard-core, ass-kicking US ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for playing a major role in exposing Iran's secret plans to develop nuclear weapons. To bolster his chances of winning, they also included a list of his other notable achievements:
* Author of "
China Shopping For Bulls - The John Bolton Guide to Diplomacy"
* During 6-party talks on North Korea's nuclear program, shook down the other 5 parties for their lunch money
* Bolton plans to use the money to finance a mission to nuke the moon, pending the outcome of a copyright infringement suit filed by Frank J.
* Once caused a pigeon to explode in mid-air, just by looking at it.
* Kicked Paul Bunyan's ass and founded the "Bolton's Babe-Burgers" franchise.
* Due to lactose intolerance, had all lactoses rounded up and imprisoned at Gitmo.
* Led Lyndie England around on a leash while mocking her genitalia.
* Prefers to kill people with his bare hands so that he can look into their eyes and watch their souls leave their bodies.
* Eats newly-release souls to fuel the growth of his moustache.
* Hates working for the UN, since few of the ambassadors actually have souls.
* 'STACHE HUNGERS!
* Successfully went in against a Sicilian when death was on the line.
* While not related to Michael Bolton, John does have a better singing voice.
* Of course, who doesn't?
* Once made a rock so big that he himself couldn't lift it.
* The flood waters did not recede from New Orleans quickly enough, so John Bolton drank them.
* On Halloween, witches frequently go out dressed up as John Bolton to frighten liberals.
* Plans to silence whiny California hippies by kicking the whole state right into the ocean.
* Went hunting with Dick Cheney, but used 'stache powers to deflect the birdshot.
* Buys dead-squirrel toupees from the same store as Donald Trump
* Favorite saying: "I like you. I'll kill you last. And by 'last', I mean 'first'."
* 'STACHE HUNGERS!
* When his term as UN Ambassador expires in 2007, plans to decapitate all the UN delegates he hasn't already killed so that he can at last be THE ONE and claim THE PRIZE.
* Used Kim Jong Il's poofy head as a loofah.
* Until Captain Kirk, the Klingons had no word for "surrender". After John Bolton, they will also have a word for "pants-wetting terror".
Of course, they neglected his most notable accomplishment - never having mistaken an elderly lawyer for a small bird.

AT LAST, I'VE FOUND MYSELF
The Crossover Poster. This weblogger isn't satisfied with just talking about THEIR stupid moronic opinions, they have to crosspost with someone ELSE's stupid moronic opinions, link to THEIR weblog and then create a weblog entry that regurgitates the other person's post, then expands on their personal feelings about the original post, what it means to them in the deepest most fluffy happy pathetic useless f*cked-up places of their hearts. Not _only_ can these dipshits not come up with something useful to post in their own weblogs, they feel the need to post something so badly, that they steal someone else's content to feed their insatiable need to beg the universe for attention. These people need to be set on fire and put out with a switchblade.
The whole, long essay, complete with more F-bombs than a bar full of sailors, can be found here.

BABY'S FIRST WORD
While peering through
Straight White Guy's most ancient archives as I researched
this post, I noticed something:
The first word he ever blogged was "damn..."
So... what I want you to do is go to the archives of your first blog, and tell me the first word in the body (not the title) of the first post you ever made. And feel free to leave a link to the post in the comments, or post about it at your own blog, if you're so inclined.
My first word was "After".
...I know, I know... you were expecting "boobies". Sorry to disappoint.

QUICK! BURN AN EMBASSY!
He's
making fun of Jesus!
Seriously, though, no Christian would be upset by this, because Christianity isn't about an image, or even Jesus. It's about an idea. The idea that Jesus embodied. The idea that a person can examine his life, discover his faults, repent his mistakes, and choose new behaviors at ANY point in time in order to live his life more in tune with his professed moral code.
Juvenile mockery bounces off that like a pebble off a stone wall.
I hope that Islam embraces a similar idea someday, so that it its adherants may join the ranks of the civilized world.

IT'S A BLOGIVERSARY!
On Feb. 15th, 2004, bloggranddaughter Sissy of And What Next...
cursed the effects of hot dogs on canine colonic expulsions.
Her posting has gotten slightly less unsavory since then.
Except for this part:
I have witnessed the births and even some of the conceptions of many Bad Example Family members!
Seriously, folks, you REALLY don't want to have to witness Bad Example Family conceptions. They make "Caligula" look like a trip to Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.
My sympathies to Sissy for having to live through the trauma.
And my best wishes in her second year.

It sure does have a hospital, has had one for almost two years. I am sitting in it right now, so hopefully it is not a right wing conspiracy or my world is going to get ugly real quick.
I've been over here working at Abu Ghraib Prison Hospital for months and this press is just a fraction of the good things that have been done here.

SINCE SHE'S BEGGING FOR ABUSE
I think we should oblige bloggranddaughter Sarah the Penguin of
Because We Have Thumbs, who said:
Sorry about the slow blog (again).
Let's all make fun of my slowness in the comment section.
Fine...
* You're so slow, if you were in a two-man fifty yard dash with a pregnant woman, youÂ’d come in third
* YouÂ’re so slow, you have to speed up to stop
* YouÂ’re so slow it takes you an hour to cook minute rice
* YouÂ’re slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter
* You're so slow, I saw you on an escalator yesterday and a step passed you
You get the idea
Go over there and pile on.

IS IT *EVER* OK TO USE RACIAL SLURS? - UPDATED 2-16-06 9:30AM
Kevin of Eckernet is
a little pissed at Ann Coulter for using the term "raghead", citing this quote (I can't find a transcript - search "
ann coulter cpac" on Google News for more info):
"Maybe they do [have nuclear weapons], maybe they don't, but they're certainly acting like they do. ... If you don't want to get shot by the police, don't point a gun at them. Or as I think our motto should be, post 9/11," Coulter said, "'Raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences.'"
I'm not sure I agree with him.
Now, I'm not usually a fan of racial slurs. Using them bespeaks a lack of imagination on the user's part. After all, there are SO many creative ways to be insulting, why settle for the easy target?
On the other hand, there may be times...
A thought experiment - if a black man murdered my wife, I wouldn't refer to him as "an African-American gentleman". I'd feel free to trot out a stream of the most hateful race-based epithets I could conjure, and I wouldn't feel bad about it.
I think in that case, it'd be ok, because it's personal between me & him. I don't mean to insult his race as a whole. I'm just trying to find the cruelest, most hurtful thing to throw at him, personally.
On the other hand, if I were to look at a black man looting stuff during Hurricane Katrina and I were to say something like "Ain't that just like a Negro to steal anything that ain't nailed down?", then that's NOT personal - that's just blanket bigotry. I'm insulting all black people in general.
Ann's case is somewhere in between. We're at war with a lot of Middle-Eastern Muslims. I'm a big fan of disrespecting my nation's enemies. Anything that pisses them off or makes their lives miserable is a GOOD thing in my book.
On the other hand, there are plenty of Middle-Eastern Muslims I would be proud to call "friend". Specifically, the ones who are working to help transform Iraq into a civilized nation in the face of a long, uphill struggle.
So if Ann were to say something like "I wish I could go to Iraq and personally shoot every last raghead I saw," then I'd say "Ann, you ignorant slut. Sit down and shut the f*ck up."
(Notice how "ignorant slut" is personal to Ann - I'm not insulting EVERY woman who's intellectually-challenged and vaginally-generous)
But upon examining her quote, she appears to be directing the "raghead" label only at Middle Eastern Muslims who actually threaten the security of American interests, rather than just haphazardly toward anyone who's wearing a turban. She's specifically aiming at terrorists, who - in general - suck. This isn't strictly personal, but I think it's nearer to that end of the spectrum than it is to bigotry.
So I'm leaning towards not having a problem with what she said.
Feel free to persuade me otherwise, if you're so inclined.
UPDATE 2-16-06 9:15 am: Perhaps the question should be, "is it simply wrong to insult a man based on ANY unchangeable physical characteristics?" For example, if my hypothetical murderer were bald, missing an eye, and had a club foot, would it be inappropriate for me to call him a "butchering, chrome-domed, popeyed, monopod"?
Not a rhetorical question. I'm honestly trying to examine where lines should be drawn on this issue. I know it's a sensitive topic, and I appreciate that so far the discussion has remained rational.
UPDATE 2-16-06 9:30 AM: Would calling him a "bastard" be considered a slur against people born out of wedlock? Would the appropriateness of the insult be affected by whether or not his parents were married when he was born, i.e. if he actually WERE a bastard?

vaginally generous. I like that term. Very Evocative.

In the cases you cite, if your issue with the man himself or his race.
If it's with the man, deal with that. Independent of his race, his race should have nothing to do with it.
Even if the cases you cite justify what you that situation, Ann was not in a similiar situation. She's playing to a crowd. She's not trying to "hurt" any militant Muslims as she knows damn well they don't care what an infidel like her thinks or says.

The only racial epithets I use are towards Arabs.
I've dealt with Muslim Arabs, in their home countries. Not much will make you hate them faster than that.

I think the whole point is moot. Viva Feedom of Speech!

She didn't use "raghead" she used "jihad monkey".
Her column is up on yahoo today.

Harvey, I see where you're coming from, but I still disagree. A couple of reasons:
1) I don't use the word n*gger, and haven't since I was old enough to understand what it meant. If a black man killed my wife, I'm certain that if he somehow managed to get to the police before I got my hands on him, I'd be begging the cops to "let me get my hands on that black cocksucker", but I wouldn't start hurling racial epithets.
2) Raghead is too inclusive. Think about the Sikhs. They wear turbans, but are pretty much peaceful people from what I've seen. Don't you think that raghead is offending to too many people? Think if Ann had used the term "sand n*gger" because, you know, they all look alike over in that part of the world. Still not offensive enough?
3) And here's the killer: those of us that don't sit on the left side of the political aisle have had to deal with the prevailing sentiment that we're all racist bastards. I always hear phrases like "You voted for Bush? You don't act like a racist/homophobe/bigot/::insert slur here::". What I don't need is a prominent conservative like Ann reinforcing that stereotype. And that's why I found her comments so egregious. It's not just that they made Ann look stupid, but they made everyone sitting right of center look bad.
If I ever meet her, I'll be sure to thank her.

Machelle - apparently she used "raghead" during her CPAC convention speech, but I did find the column you mentioned where she said "jihad monkey":
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucac/20060216/cm_ucac/muslimbitesdog;_ylt=AlHqzAi3OriznQOXcp8tHj07vTYC;_ylu=X3oDMTBjMHVqMTQ4BHNlYwN5bnN1YmNhdA--
also available at her site, which is painfully slow right now:
http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/printer_friendly.cgi?article=100
PG - ironically, "cocksucker" could be considered a slur against gays :-)
Which makes me wonder... if the murdering black man were also gay, would calling him a "cocksucker" be as off-limits as calling him "n*gger"? Are you saying that it's only considered sporting to insult him if what I say is a lie, or am I misinterpreting?
Kevin - If I wanted to put a positive spin on Ann's remarks, I'd say that she's intentionally disrespecting militant muslims to show that she doesn't fear their terrorist threats.
Or it could very well be that she's just a rude, loud-mouthed, hate-monger who gets a perverse pleasure from being unnecessarily crude in public.
I don't read Ann Coulter on a regular basis, so I don't know if this is just some over-the-top schtick she does for comedic effect, or if she's just a loon. I'm not qualified to say.

Towelhead would have been more approriate.

Is "nigger" even an insult anymore? All the gansta rappers call themselves and their friends that.

Isn't "raghead" more of a
cultural slur? No one is born with a piece of cloth attached to his head. A minor point, possibly, because people don't choose the culture they are born into any more than they choose their skin color but they can choose how they respond to and participate in their culture.

WOMEN'S SHOES FOLLOW-UP
After considering the comments left on
my previous post about women's shoes, I'll amend my statement.
The only time men will notice a woman's shoes is when she's wearing a skirt or dress, because we'll be checking out her legs.
So if you're having a "bad shoe day", wear pants.

Since you excluded boots in your previous post, I'll agree. But there is something sexy about a woman in tight jeans wearing boots.

Yeah, what is it with guys and boots? My husband loves it when I wear boots...

The only time a man notices a woman's shoes is if the heels dig into his shoulders.

Was suprised you did not refer to elephant shape of "erasing".Maybe it was a small donation to the GOP.
