June 4th MISCELLANY!

[maxomai]

• How you can help win the Wisconsin recall. This is important, kids, because if Walker fends off a recall, there is a good chance that he will be indicted, and that his even nuttier Lieutenant Governor will take his place.


• Wherein Paul Krugman laments the very lamentable fact that he's consistently right and consistently ignored by Washington.


• Tom Tomorrow on how to teach kids about the Kill List, or Schoolhouse Rock, The Sequel.


• The case for South Africa being more progressive than the United States. ZA has its problems, for sure, but the slow, painful descent into a corporate-run state isn't one of them.


• Why Bob Shrum needs to STFU, part one million.


• The economy is really better than last week's employment report would indicate.


• Why are grunting women's tennis players a big goddamn deal .. when men get a pass? More on this here.


• People, if your cat dies, please, please please please, as a favor to me, do not turn them into a remote controlled quad-propeller helicopter.

Par for the course

I lamented quite often that I was consistently right as an analyst in AFG. Not that it did me any good when I went up against the All-Mighty NCO chain. Heaven forbid my unit back me up against someone who A) wasn't in my unit, B) not even in our branch! (/bitterness)

It amazes me Thomas Friedman can be so wrong so often that he merits a meme (Friedman Unit) named after him yet he's still hailed as a great pundit while Paul Krugman is on target all the time but dismissed. I mean Thomas Friedman is a *journalist* who has won some Pulitzers. Paul Krugman is an economist who has one a Nobel Prize (among other awards) so I don't know why he's so consistently ignored.

I also think the Kitty Karma Army is going to get Mr. Helicopter Catman.

Indicted?

You left wing morons are going to parrot that nonsense now? What happened to "Fitzmas" and Carl Rove? Remember that? It turned out the Plame leaker was Powell's (Obama supporter) aid Armitage. You stooges got it wrong then.

Walker kicked Barretts left wing lying ass. Oh yeah, and this topic. Paul Krugman is a pencil necked punk who's pet theories have blown up in the world's face while he dines on caviar and champagne from his ivory perch at Princeton removed from the reality of his insane policy pronouncements.

Nobel prizes mean nothing. They gave Obama one two seconds into his miserably failed term. I guess they didn't mind that he would target drones to an endless list of hit targets, eh? You lefty bed wetters cried yourselves to sleep because Bush waterboarded two mass murdering terrorists yet you cheer wildly when Obama executes them with no trial, due process, or even dissent. SEIG HEIL you scream to your FUHRER!

You lefties suck. I can't wait until the massive landslide in November against Obama and you maggots.
