Nous sommes tous (des?) conards

A lovely collection

First bit of satisfaction

OK, so it is not true that all academic scientists are completely corrupt. Fuck, it's a start. I thought for sure that they were.

Obama's Lagrangean

News of the tautological

The report starkly warned that a new long-term care insurance plan included in the legislation could "face a significant risk of failure" because it would attract people in poor health, leading to higher and higher premiums, and eventually triggering an "insurance death spiral." Well, duh. A small price to pay for the triumph of AmeriSoc.

Awesome

Yes we can → The hell we can't

Ed Morrissey finally gets around to commenting on this.

Took him a while to wrap his brain around it.

In case you'd like a closer look at the readings.

A borderline nonsensical faux profundity

Abraham Lincoln once said, “It is very common in this country to find great facility of expression and less common to find great lucidity of thought.” Alas, alas.

Coanda Saturnine!

i can't believe that you would post such ridiculous ideas. i mean, just look at it... spinning around just like a laundry dryer. this is obviously the other end of the vortex where all of our missing socks go.

Fun with Range->{k,1950}

Stimulus money hard at work

* Money for people to keep journals of their malt liquor and marijuana use ($389,357).
* Money to study the "hookup" behavior of college co-eds ($219,000), and the sex drive of rats on hard drugs ($30,000).

And on, and on. What should we add on the FCP wish list?

Who's up and who's down

Obama is freeing the Norks too!

Hey Tecs! You ought to fly SAS to København!

Get some appelsinjuice on your statesman-hero!

Turns out that the Star of Obama was just Putin prematurely losing it.

Obama the teacher

Diplomacy!

Shit. Norway's like the UK or some other slavetrader. Our buddies are Hugo Chavez and Ahmadinejad.

Beast of Kandahar

Is this a Coanda UAV on steroids?

Planet Gore deeply conflicted

Pepe gets 'ligion

[This] is a religion with a vision of sin and repentance, heaven and hell. It even has a special vocabulary, with words like 'sustainability' and 'carbon neutral.' Its communion is organic food. Its sacraments are sex, abortion, and when all else fails, sterilization. Its saints are Al Gore and the InterGovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Al Gore explains physics to Sarah Palin

Great. Just great

Bitter clinging hillbillies get shafted

Ululullulululu, says Pepe.

I wonder if Obama will keep mentioning W...

French idol

There is Always a Reason Why They Are Ever Our Friends and Allies

As awful as Obama is, he is simply the omega point of a process that began many decades ago-- began as soon as after WWII when American politicos discovered there was profit in dhimming the future. With BushI it was at a dangerous level. By now it is fatal.

You are either with us or you are a barbarian

High speed delivery of chocolate from a trough

This sounds like a worthwhile application of the Coanda effect. We could modify it here at FCP, for high-speed delivery of VCP to the deserving ones.

Wright brothers and Sir Frank Whittle smile

Some chinless retard broad reads AA's snooty senior thesis from UC



The Telephone Book focuses on three themes: technology, schizophrenia and electric speech. The book begins with a sustained examination of Heidegger's involvement with the Nazi Party and proceeds through a history of the telephone in light of Heidegger's "call to being." Ronell demonstrates the complexity of "the call" and its presence throughout contemporary culture including technology, psychology and art. In The Telephone Book, Ronell rejects the authoritarian position of the author and instead refers to herself as the "operator" of the text.
Crack Wars likens addiction to literature to drug addiction. Ronell avers that the work is a political gesture against the hysteria of the "racist" war on drugs. Beginning with an extensive survey of philosophical works on intoxication, including writings by Nietzsche, Baudelaire and Benjamin, Crack Wars then examines Heidegger's descriptions of want, wishing and "being towards".

From this bio.

Pay up!

Rot gets caught in flagrante

Et tu, Conyers?

The pinko crackup continues to its foundations. Conyards was one of the first Dems to back Obama over Hillary (2+2=4) and now is mad as hell and putting it in writing as soon as he finds a nice crayon and a secretary to translate into English.

Really weird.

More weird BoGlob spittle.

Steyn goes abusive.

Dry run

UPDATE: Tecs and AA's brains on dry run.

JIHAD!!

Helluva drive!

WH toilet flushes through WaPo

Obama is trying to break the dynamic that says that when an American president negotiates with the Chinese or Russians, he must return with rewards or concessions -- or else he is guilty of appeasement.

...and he's succeeding wonderfully!

Dirge for the dinosaur pinko media

Kiki, a Rotten soulmate, kicks the bucket at age 146

Though advanced in age, Kiki remained "fresh" to the end. Kiki weighed 250kg and had to be moved about using a forklift. "However crushed they were by his 250kg, the females suffered his assaults without any complaint."

No shit, no brainer...

MIT employs the invisible hand which typically has predictive modeling-like results: e.g., people tend to do shit for money. Does one need to go to MIT to figure this out? Well, at least MIT doesn't dole out the superfluous in the form of degrees.

Per un pugno di dollari

And a Merry X-Mas to you too, Tiny Tim

But the fucker has it right:
"1. The level of un- and underemployment is so huge by historical standards as to make the usual sort of measurement questionable. With nearly 20% of the population unable to find proper work, there is a different sort of workforce. The vast majority of job creation in the US during the past two generations came from small businesses, which display only vaguely on the radar of government agencies as well as the bigger private surveys. The financial crisis killed small entrepreneurs as surely as Joseph Stalin killed the kulaks, and the roots of the economy are dead and dry. "

By Comparison, Komrads, We Are Unworthy

Wow, in one little pakalerti article there are more GUTS than Patton on steroids, never mind FCP. More colorful "confusion of categories" weirdness than Pepe on peyote.

Good stuff.

Of course, the mindwrenching thing is that although about 80% of that is bullshit disinformation of the rankest sort...there is at least some 20% of truth percolating through it. Ah, then, what 20% is that?

A dream job for Herr Rot

Sounds better

Let's give credit when credit is due (and keep our fingers crossed). Is there a chance we can whup some Taliban ass next year? We'll see.

Herr Rott am Steuer

“I think it’s a real advantage that he’s German,” said Bianca Florea, 18, a student, as she passed through the main town square in Sibiu on Friday. “Well, not exactly German, but Saxon.” Asked why, Ms. Florea responded, “We Romanians are a bit lazy, that’s my opinion.”

And, by the way, as you guys surely know, it was a guy from Sibiu who invented the rocket, way back when: In 1922, Oberth's proposed doctoral dissertation on rocket science was rejected as "utopian". He next had his 92-page work published privately in June 1923 as the somewhat controversial book, Die Rakete zu den Planetenräumen.

So Steyn owes some halfwit a VCP. Isn't that always the case with reposts?
