What Gives With This Weird Font/Lettering Size?
And why are the posters' names, labels, etc... so small and fuzzy?
The uptick rule again
Goddamn that Prescott Bush and his shenanigans from beyond the grave! (and another fixation)
More Pissed than a Mad Cow
Ok, guys, this one's beyond odd. I don't think even Planet Pepe has room for this Island of Dr.Moreau wannabe.
Blabbering nabobs of positivism
JJ's heartthrob expounds on economics: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the -- it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.

Puritan Pussy and Biblical Boobs?
Apparently, within the article is a link to another blog entitled, "Christian Nymphos."Pound the sand, slowly. Slowly.
It's good to be the king
Lundi, la justice a finalement donné raison à Jean Sarkozy, les magistrats le déclarant "non coupable des faits qui lui sont reprochés". Ils ont par contre condamné l'automobiliste, partie civile, à lui verser deux mille euros pour "procédure abusive".
Kaus is wonderful, but doesn't know how to set a link
I was about to write an item about how Kirsten Powers has been producing an alarming number of good columns lately, when I hit this sentence:

[T]he fact that someone of Biden's experience and intellect can make as many gaffes as he has since joining the ticket shows how treacherous the presidential trail is.

Margarat Sanger: Mama, Abortionist, Socialist of Many Stripes, Eugenicist, Jeanne d'Arc of Planet Pepe
Gee, with Socialist Sanger wowing the KKK Koffee Klatch with her Eugenie charm, you had the perfect convergence of the two major tributaries of Democrats 'R Us. Ain't she a beauty?
Planet Pepe be Proud.
Good healthy fun getting increasingly dangerous
I bet you the cops didn't even arrest the party-pooper
When Planet Pepe Bites Its Own Ass, Things Get Radiant
Highly amusing instance of poetic justice....and highly interesting insight into the exportation of "minerals" out of the Pepean realms for the greater glory of Allah.
I have the bracelet
Did you guys catch how Obama had to look up in his notes the name of the soldier? The whole thing was canned. And, at the end, Jean-Francois Kerry was milling about, looking for his hat. REGURGE FOR UPDATE.
Jimmah done it!
JJ made a comment the other day about Barney Frank, which I didn't get at first glance. Here's more on the story -- now it all starts to make sense. Is this what you had in mind, JJ? Youtube moment, and another one.
Can she hack it?
She was the antithesis and nemesis of the hirsute, Birkenstock-wearing sisterhood. Youpie doo. Quick study or not, she doesn’t know enough about economics and foreign policy to make Americans comfortable with a President Palin should conditions warrant her promotion. You don't say. If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself. Do it, do it. Poignant.
Pepe Caught Red-Handed
Perfidious Versailles. Abusing the Lady Palin.
From the MyPetJawa:
"The French Connection to Palin Smears
What is an PR firm with an eyebrow-raising international affiliation doing producing an anti-Palin video?
And what is Publicis? By its own account, Publicis is the fourth-largest communications group in the world, having generated some €4.7 billion (or $6.9 billion) in revenue in 2007. With its distinctive postmodern headquarters on Paris’ Champs-Elysées just a stone’s throw from the Arc de Triomphe, Publicis also happens to be one of those highly politically-connected French firms that are so characteristic of the upper echelons of the French economy....
The obvious question, then, is for whom were Winner and his “associates” working? The most obvious answer is: the Obama campaign. Another and at least equally troubling possibility, however, is that they were working for one of Publicis’s high-powered European clients. "

Bowling Balls O' Armaggedon
A nice bit of evidence on the stability conjecture for the solar system. Just a bit of cheer for all of us, as cold banks of rain wash over the streets of John Harvard into this night.
For no good reason, other than the silly sentiments of our doomed race, I hope there was no life on those lost planets
Interviewing Hunter Thompson
What would you do? You're sitting in Hunter S. Thompson's kitchen conducting an interview and he wants you to drink. So you drink.
I'd been directed to read aloud Thompson's farewell to Richard M. Nixon, "He Was a Crook" (Rolling Stone, June 16, 1994), an obituary fired off in a burst of rage. The author insisted it be read aloud to capture the right effect, and apparently I hadn't been reading with proper and resounding emphasis.
"No. No! Again. Start over. Clip your words!"
A glass of Wild Turkey and ice was placed in front of me -- for elocution purposes, of course -- and the reading proceeded, this time with the benefit of Thompson's coaching.
Atlantic: If you were going to start a paper, and you were editor, who would you hire on? Who'd be on your writing staff? Living or dead.
HST: Whew! That would be fun. We're thinking of starting a paper here. These are not abstract questions.
If I were to surround myself with experts, I'd hire P. J. [O'Rourke], Tom Wolfe, Tim Ferris. I'd hire Jann Wenner, put him to work.
The Sunni Days May Be Over...
This is good, but full benefit from the article requires that all three pages are read. Can you guys handle that?
Distilled excerpts:
During my 15th trip to Iraq in August, for the first time I didn’t hear a shot fired. In several cities, I walked into markets with only a few American soldiers, and was immediately surrounded by Iraqis eager to talk about the economy, security, politics, whatever.
Normality? Nowhere close. Concrete barriers (designed to restrict the flesh-ripping radius of suicide bombers) were still in place, enclosing neighborhoods in Baghdad and a dozen other cities. Car bombings and criminal kidnappings persisted, as did battles against disparate al-Qaeda cells and Shiite insurgent gangs incited by Iran. Still, Iraq was not engulfed in civil war. The Sunni resistance had largely collapsed.
...The Awakening would not have started if the Americans had remained robo-cops, operating from bases apart from the population. Instead, the Americans on the western front were out among the people. Sattar knew the American leaders by name. The Americans parked a tank on his front lawn to protect him. I asked Sattar, later assassinated by AQI, if the turnaround in Anbar could not have come years earlier, and saved much grief. He thought for a moment, then said no.
“We Sunnis had to convince ourselves,” he said. He was the most remarkable leader I saw in Iraq.
Where are JJ and Pepe?

Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the chief House Democrat on the bill, said, "all of a sudden, now that we are on the verge of making a deal, John McCain airdrops himself to help us make the deal." Yeah, sure.

Quick, Pepe, an IQ Test for You
C'mon, even the Dhimm can do it, spot the fallacy in the claim that "Christians can't be buried on weekends because need to reserve those days for Muslims--who are required to be buried as soon as possible."

North Dakota WSJ Rehash
And what of the unexpected finding that North Dakota is the most outgoing state in the union? Yes, North Dakota, the same state memorialized years ago in the movie "Fargo" as a frozen wasteland of taciturn souls. Turns out you can be a laconic extrovert, at least in the world of psychology. The trait is defined in part by strong social networks and tight community bonds, which are characteristic of small towns across the Great Plains. (Though not, apparently, small towns in New England, which ranks quite low on the extraversion scale.)
For the Office...
I'll have to catch up. Just got back from being away from internet for 8 days. Enjoy the pic.

Greenspan, Osama, and the Albanian Ponzi scheme
"Greenspan was considered a master," Tremonti declared. "Now we must ask ourselves whether he is not, after [Osama] bin Laden, the man who hurt America the most. "The system is collapsing, exactly like the Albanian pyramids collapsed." Ouchhh... Don't worry, says JJ, Freddie Mac will fix things up in no time. Sure, have some more ouzo.
John Kerry visits London
Sorry, AA, and AI. Just had to make fun of your hero. Bill Clinton at it again.

Jj says do as I say (not as I do)
tilting his laptop screen to just the right angle on his desk, and delicately folding a three-foot length of toilet paper over his erect penis in lieu of two tissues, since his Kleenex supply had been exhausted during an earlier masturbation session.
Democracy, transparency and the Bush White House
The lawsuit stems from Cheney's position that his office is not part of the executive branch of government.
This summer, Cheney chief of staff David Addington told Congress the vice president belongs to neither the executive nor legislative branch of government, but rather is attached by the Constitution to Congress. The vice president presides over the Senate.
The lawsuit alleges that the Bush administration's actions over the past 7 1/2 years raise questions over whether the White House will turn over records created by Cheney and his staff to the National Archives in January.
In 2003, Cheney asserted that the office of the vice president is not an entity within the executive branch.

Terror Comes to Planet Pepe Squared
So there I was, enjoying a beatiful early fall day and amiably strolling through the Crucible of the Idiocies [Harvard Square], thinking uncharacteristically gentle thinkery and bearing no arms that would confuse me with the Montana Militia, utterly oblivious to the Fates having decreed that I would be guilty of spreading terror to not one, not two, but three, count 'em, as three as a monte of cards, three earnest acolytes of the Cult of Obama. It seems, ya see, that today was Git Hectoring Harvard Square Strollers for Their Hussein Vote Because Who Knows What Unenlightened Minds Might Yet Exist in That Grazing Herd? Day. And each and every corner of that acadisneysque excuse for a "square", and some edges between, were manned by most manly women, and a few babes, doing their best Carrie Nation jihading for The One. So I've taken some cash out of the local branch of the Sovereign, and now aim for the Coop to check the marvelously erudite porno section, when a mature Pelosian wannabe smiles like....well, Pelosi.... and asks me if I've yet registered to vote, for Obama is relying on people like me. I was not enough of a gentleman to lie, so I told her I had registered and that--having been educated into Chicago ways-- John McCain was gonna git ma vote at least three times. She was not amused. In veritas, she looked stunned, then horrified [rather like photo] and, at the end, like it was a good thing for me that she was not bearing arms like a Sarah Palin. So, anyways, having had my fill of Harvard Porn and overpriced, inferior, and yet so Upper Crust, coffee; I left the Coop from the Franklin side and angled out to walk over to Brattle and gawk at comely gaggles of female asian touristas shamelessly snapping away at everything with an H or an aged brick. Only to be immediately met, by the theater that refuses to show "Tropical Thunder", another blockade of the Obamaclesians. This girl was pert, happy, and perky of tit. And not bad looking in that milkfed Wisconsin way which will not survive the four years of Granolating Pepeism Harvard is gonna inflict on her. Remembering to be more of a gentleman, and committing the lie of omission by leaving out the registration and three vote plan, I actually listened to a spiel, sans grimace, for over a minute, basked in the sweet crisp September air, thanked her very much for stating her views but that I had decided to vote for John McCain....... I must have been the first person she'd ever met in her college career to admit to voting for Pirate John. Pure Terror, in that Midwestern "Wow, I can't believe it!" version. [photo numero dos is in the ballpark, except she was more milkfed and cuter]. Leaving her in dismay, and feeling very much like a cad, I'd decided I'd enough of this shit and it was time to get to South Station and back to Little Brasilia [comely asian lasses lusting for Harvard be damned]. I'd almost made it to the plebian sanctuary of the T when I met a darkly sexy Jewess, or at least she looked and sounded like the kind of New York Jewess I find as sexy as they find my peasantry "offputting", fronting the last Obamite ramparts at the newstand blocking my way . Had I yet registered yet? Every vote for Obama was crucial. We're all in this together, Obama's the one, and can you believe that Palin? And on and on.... She was really sexy, too.... And then I did the stupid thing, and fessed up that I was gonna vote for McCain. It was really sad to see, ya know, that dreamy face cutely halfway between a kiss and a Seinfeldian sneer, melt into a contorted mess of political Terror. It seems she was a Virgin Maiden, and I was Nosferatu.... [photo numero tres is a fair facsimile thereof]
Moral of the Story. I'm gonna go back there next week, hope it's a new crew of ladies, and lie lie lie through my teeth. Who knows, playing the Baracky card could give me a chance of gitting some 1% of that Fabled Fidel Pudendera
Rediscovering the Khazars
The Khazars opposed the Arab advance into the Caucasus Mountains and were instrumental in containing a Muslim push toward eastern Europe. He compared their role in eastern Europe to that of the French knights who defeated Arab forces at the Battle of Tours in France in 732. The study of the Khazar empire was discouraged in the Soviet Union. The dictator Josef Stalin, in particular, detested the idea that a Jewish empire had come before Russia's own. He ordered references to Khazar history removed from textbooks because they "disproved his theory of Russian statehood," Satanovsky said. What does Satan say?
I thought this guy had died
Did you resuscitate him, Pepe? Keane demonstrates lowly Fordham is better than Columbia.

Being a commie dictator has certain advantages. No wonder Pepe pines for the Red Dawn. Can he stick to it?
Article 5
...of NATO says: The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all. Hey, JJ, is this clear enough for you, or is it like your reading of Article 3, Section 3 of the US Constitution -- something there on an old piece of paper, never to be enforced?
AI Rove strikes again
Whatever happens, we may deserve what we get. On the other hand, maybe there’s still time to wise up: Obama boots Biden and taps Clinton; McCain dumps Palin and picks Romney. It’s a concept.

brad fuckin' up the sanctity of my marriage
Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn’t harm another and because discrimination has no place in America.
What about the obligation to conform, commie ?

Conservatives are chicken shits
Did we really need a study for this ? I've been saying this since fcp's inception.
Interesting timing
It'll be interesting to see how sentencing with these two stories will resolve:
where american shoots american soldiers
and
where american shoots iraqi civilians.
I don't know the specifics but anybody want to bet iraqi life is cheaper ?

He's got a point
You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything. ... I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, 'I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia.' That kind of thing is insulting to the American people. Not to JJ.

The helicopter solution
As Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke famously said, the Fed could always stimulate the economy by printing money and dropping it out of helicopters, but it will do everything in its power to avoid using the "helicopter option." Sounds like Pepean economics to me. Let's do it!
The Treasury is paying just 0.30% interest for the first $40 billion, but AIG will pay much more than that if it taps the Fed for a loan: At Wednesday's rates, AIG would pay 11.53% interest back to the government. A tidy profit. Not bad. But what if AIG goes belly up? Who's left holding the bag?

Nookular combat toe to toe with the Roosskies
Palin can see those Roosskies from her house. Is she gonna do something about them coming to git Alaska?
fcp on brooks' radar?
But, especially in America, there has always been a separate, populist, strain [of conservatives]. For those in this school, book knowledge is suspect but practical knowledge is respected. The city is corrupting and the universities are kindergartens for overeducated fools.
The elitists favor sophistication, but the common-sense folk favor simplicity. The elitists favor deliberation, but the populists favor instinct.
This populist tendency produced the term-limits movement based on the belief that time in government destroys character but contact with grass-roots America gives one grounding in real life. And now it has produced Sarah Palin.

Obama ∩ Kissinger
Let's see if the Logan Act goes ignored this time too. They protest. Maybe they know it's wrong.
A Dane Who Knows What He Fights For..
An Archbishop of Canterbury who knows he believes in nothing worth fighting for....
There is rich irony in all this
Simply put, despite the Coq Eaters in the cloudless dream-rooms of Versailles:
"This battle is one we have not launched in a similar decisive fashion. This is the battle against political Islam. Today, the Islamists are stronger than ever. While we shoot at terrorists in Afghanistan and elsewhere, the Islamists are winning still more souls for their cause. Both in the Arab world, in the Muslim countries in Asia, and amongst the Muslim minorities in the Western countries.
Everywhere the Islamists are advancing. Their influence in international organizations, in international business and through Islamic lobbying, is advancing on all levels on a daily basis.
Islamism as a political ideology is now a more serious threat against democracies than the violent terrorism that Al-Qaeda have been advancing. We simply need to wake up."
Spengler Says" A bit of Gloom, No Doom, but Where Are the Children of Men?"
He takes a surprising turn on this Lehman Kaboom. Relates it to Steyn's thesis on the demographic weirdness of our times... Interesting. Whaddya think, FCP?
The Huntington Democracy Paradigm Comes a Cropper
Planet Pepe weeps with joy, for the rumors of the Death of Tyrannies were greatly exaggerated. Now time to bring that Ho Bitch, Lady Liberty, to her knees.
The One Way Cave of Moral Blindness
"But Jonathan Haidt, an associate professor of moral psychology at the University of Virginia, argues in an essay this month, “What Makes People Vote Republican?”, that it’s liberals, in fact, who are dangerously blind.
Haidt has conducted research in which liberals and conservatives were asked to project themselves into the minds of their opponents and answer questions about their moral reasoning. Conservatives, he said, prove quite adept at thinking like liberals, but liberals are consistently incapable of understanding the conservative point of view. “Liberals feel contempt for the conservative moral view, and that is very, very angering. Republicans are good at exploiting that anger,” he told me in a phone interview.
Perhaps that’s why the conservatives can so successfully get under liberals’ skin. And why liberals need to start working harder."

Uptick rule does it!
Lehman Brothers goes under -- following Fannie and Freddie and Bear Stearns under the bus. Whose fault is it? The expiration of the uptick rule that allowed short sellers to drop rumors. Aha! Is this a repeat of 1929? Nahhh, don't worry, says JJ.
Big Fucker is Back, AA...
AA mentioned something about having a pitcher of Moose Drool (see thread link), and it reminded me of the cold Moose Drool and glass of 12 year scotch I had with the butternut squash soup and hot French bread I made last night. Extra butter on the bread, please. Enjoy.
Well, Pasha Bakri, This is a Problem England is Well On Its Way to Solving

A Lying Gibson at Work
"From ABC's Charlie Gibson's interview with Sarah Palin last night:
GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, "Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God." Are we fighting a holy war?
PALIN: You know, I don't know if that was my exact quote.
GIBSON: Exact words.
What Palin actually said:
"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

Sophisticated Atlanticists in Theorie und Praxis
"When The Atlantic called Jill Greenberg, a committed Democrat, to shoot a portrait of John McCain for its October cover, she rubbed her hands with glee.
She delivered the image the magazine asked for—a shot that makes the Republican presidential nominee look heroic. Greenberg is well known for her highly retouched images of bears and crying babies. But she didn’t bother to do much retouching on her McCain images. “I left his eyes red and his skin looking bad,” she says.
After getting that shot, Greenberg asked McCain to “please come over here” for one more set-up before the 15-minute shoot was over. There, she had a beauty dish with a modeling light set up. “That’s what he thought he was being lit by,” Greenberg says. “But that wasn’t firing.”
What was firing was a strobe positioned below him, which cast the horror movie shadows across his face and on the wall right behind him. “He had no idea he was being lit from below,” Greenberg says. And his handlers didn’t seem to notice it either. “I guess they’re not very sophisticated,” she adds. "
When the Word is no longer enough....
The decision for suicide is a remarkable thing. It can be a grand civilization that collectively embraces it, and it can be one man in the loneliness of his study. In the end, it is all an Infinite Jest.
And So the Suicide of the West Officially Begins
All to the ullulation of the Planet Pepeteers. Vichy has made its bed, and its going to be fucked in it.
