I can Haz Pouch
Not sure that this is real...but I have a nagging fear it is authentic. via
UPDATE: In the comments Jonathan Tappan points out that this is almost certainly a hoax as a Google image search for "Cat Possum" produces several versions....or perhaps the stupid is just that widespread.

Sometimes.....Thread Drift is Most Welcome
Over at Avatar's place I encountered this in the recent comments sidebar.
Yay copyright!
It's an interesting..ummm... HALF of a copyright discussion too.
I can only assume this is a vast improvement over what might have been.
Well, see, there I was, minding my own business, reading comments about loli-panchira, and suddenly a copyright discussion broke out. Were the panchira copyrighted?
Yay copyright!

So My first Thought Was..."Damn Fool Must Have Watched Kiss X Sis"
...But even that context wouldn't have helped.
What an ass.
Now I say this as someone who happens to think that Truman's decision was the correct one and the horrific events of the 6th and 9th of August 1945 were the least bad options available at the time.
I've also talked to several wonderful people who were there and still have the keloid scars to prove it.
This was a terrible thing and is not something to joke about. There are some things a politician just doesn't say.
Now it is also true that I take a very dim view of political correctness and jumping on people for off the cuff remarks.
However, it turns out that this wasn't an off the cuff remark. It was an the main thrust of the asshats post on his Facebook page.
I take an even dimmer view of censorship....
(especially censorship via nuclear weapons.)
It gets worse. There is also the fact that joking about killing people for their views is something of a pattern with this jackass*.
Oh and his constituent services suck.
More on the threat to the constituent here and as I post this ....more than a week after this story broke his Myspace profile is still unchanged. Presumably it's accurate as is.
He should change his name to Representative Zarroff.

"Anime is a prime example that two nukes just wasn't enough," NH State Rep. Nick Levasseur said on Facebook.
What an ass.

A pro-gun rights New Hampshire resident decides to get involved in the political process and sends Levasseur an e-mail asking him to clarify a statement he made while serving in his capacity as a state representative, and Levasseur threatens to report him to the authorities for his "threatening" and "harassing" behavior.
All the while, Levasseur's MySpace profile page lists as one of his interests the "hunting of neo-conservative Reaganites", by use of firearms

If you don't understand just by looking at the picture, don't worry. It's because you are a good person. Steven explains the problem in depth here.
There, now you can worry.
UPDATE: The originator of the photoshop has been found and he has just been made aware that his work has graced at least two newspapers and has become a template for bootleg merchandise.

Snow Apocalypse
Al Gore must be in Virginia.
What would be a trivial a moderate example of snow in many northern cities has a disproportionate effect on areas that go years with no more than a dusting. Case in point: the cities of the Tidewater area of Virginia where it has been snowing for 18 hours.
Roadway pandemonium.
I'm currently semi-stranded at Worlds Best Comics looking at weather radar website that tells me the snow has passed on....and out he window where my own eyes are telling me that it is still coming down fairly hard. We've got perhaps 6-8 inches here in Newport News but there is a considerable amount of ice on the roads (over an inch) and the snow has alternated with sleet. On the Southside ( the other side of the 'Roads" ) where accumulations of more than an inch are unheard of, they got hit quite a bit harder. I'm watching cars drive sideways down Warwick Blvd. Given that the wind is howling, the bridge-tunnel is iced over and things are notably worse in Portsmouth, I'm just not gonna deal with that.

Jonah Goldberg Sold Me a Pizza
Saturday, I read Goldbergs piece on the new self deprecating Dominoes campaign. Being bored, (and REALLY tired of blackeyed peas) I decided to have one delivered to the comic shop and drove out there to split it with 'The Bob'. Going online to find the number of the Dominoes across the street from the shop I encountered their online ordering system and gave it a whirl.
Well, now I'm behind the curve, 'cause all the cool kids are talking about it now. Also, upon reflection...I AM a geek.
It's very much improved in quality, though its a bit more expensive as well. Their pizza is now one of the 2 or 3 best offered by any of the chain restaurants. I ought to have blogged about it then but having a laptop with only limited connectivity puts a crimp on ones blogging...and I thought about it and figured I'd look like some sort of geek if I admitted I was getting food advice from National Review.

The Spam is Not Just Here
Yes, the comments spam of the last few days from the evil shoe salesman is really annoying, but for some reason my E-mail has been hit with BIRTHER SPAM.
Why?
Why do these Mo-Rawns think that spamming people will win someone over to their idiot cause?
Oh wait...mo-rawns.

Michael Jackson Died for Our Sins
Michael Jackson has died.
Obviously you know this already as it is the only thing on TV and it seems is the only news on the planet worth covering.
Welcome to day one year one PMJ.
Tomorrow there was to be a crucial vote on the controversial cap and trade plan which many feared would wreck our economy. Obviously all issues have been worked out as there is nothing whatsoever to report.
Likewise the national health care debate....nothing to report so obviously all issues have been resolved with Jacko's death.
The terrifying US deficit, it seems, must have been a simple clerical error caused by a combination of a Dvorak keyboard and Excel.
Fox and MSNBC are showing Michael Jackson videos....so the unpleasantness in Iran has no doubt been resolved amicably.
There is no Piracy off either coast of Africa, in the straits of Malacca or the Caribbean.
There is no slavery in the world.
The huge plastic island in the north Pacific gyre has obviously disappeared.
North Korea has agreed to all of the very strongly worded requests by the UN....which one would think might be news...but then one would obviously be wrong, wouldn't one?
No doubt their recent nuclear test was a practical joke involving several tons of Mentos, Diet Coke and some smoke detectors.
The Taliban are quiet and AlQuaeda has called off their jihad in remembrance of the King of Pop.
All is well thanks to Michael Jackson making the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.
Or perhaps the gatekeepers of our news are morons.
Bread, circuses and all that jazz.

The End Times Are Here
By now everyone is aware of the fiasco in the skies of New York City yesterday.
Well, despite this last minute desperation bid to convince people of his mighty relevancy, President Obama lost out in the influence contest..to Moot.
We live in interesting times..

Lumberjack Lass Keeps Us From Hitting Bottom....
Of all the stupid stories to have been reported lately, few hit as close to home as this one about certain extreme greens advocacy of...
reuseable
toilette
wipes
Oh...MY...Gawd.
In related news, one reason Colleen Doran is a professional writer is that while one result of this is that I am without words... she is not. So go and see as she responds to this affront to all that is decent with her rapier like pen...and her chainsaw.
