When she asks how she looks shrug and say "could be better" this will keep her on her toes, and girls love that.<br /><br />2. Never hold her hand. This can be interpreted as a sign of weakness (or if she grabs your hand squeeze hers really really hard until she cries. This will impress her by showing her what a strong man you are).<br /><br />3. Once a month sneak up on her from behind and knock her over. Girls are like dogs; they love to be roughed up.<br /><br />4. Call her in the middle of the night to ask if she's sleeping. If she is say you say "you better be". Repeat this 4 or 5 times until morning. This will show her you care.<br /><br />5. When she is upset about something, suggest to her that it might be her fault. This will pave the way for her own personal improvement, and every girl needs some improvement.<br /><br />6. Recognize the small things . . . they usually mean the most. Then, when she's sleeping, steal all her small things and break them. Because jewelry is for pussies and asian ladies.<br /><br />7. If you're talking to another girl, make sure she's looking. When she is, stare into her eyes, mouth the words @#%$ you, and grab the other girls ass. Girls love competition.<br /><br />8. Tell her you're taking her out to dinner. Drive for miles so she thinks it's going to be really special. Then, take her to a burning tire yard. When she starts to get upset tell her you were just kidding and now you're really going to take her to dinner. Then, drive her home. When she starts crying and asks why you would do something like that lean over and whisper very quietly into her ear "...because i can."<br /><br />9. Introduce her to your friends as "some chick". Women love those special nicknames.<br /><br />10. Play with her hair. Play with it HARD.<br /><br />11. Warm her up when she's cold...and not by giving her your jacket... then you might get cold. Rather, look her in the eye and say "if you don't stop bitching about the cold right now you're going to be bitching about a black eye". The best way to get warm is with fear.<br /><br />12. Take her to a party. When you get there she'll have to go to the bathroom (they always do). Leave immediately. Come back right when the partys dying and yell at her the whole way home for ditching you at the party.<br /><br />13. Make her laugh. A good way to do this is if she has a small pet. Kick the pet. I always find stuff like that funny. Why shouldn't girls?<br /><br />14. Let her fall asleep in your arms. When she's fast asleep, wait 10 minutes then JUMP UP AND SCREAM IN HER EAR! Repeat until she goes home and you can use your arms for more important things. Like basketball or waterpolo.<br /><br />15. Spit often. I hear girls like guys that spit.<br /><br />16. if you care about her, never ever tell her. This will only give her self confidence. Then you can never turn her into the object she deep down desires to be.<br /><br />17. Every time you're in her house steal one of the following: shoes, earrings, or anything else that comes in pairs. Only take one of the pair. This way she'll go crazy.<br /><br />18. Take her out to dinner. Right when shes about to order interrupt and say "no she's not hungry". Make her watch you eat. Girls love a guy that speaks for her.<br /><br />19. Look her in the eyes and smile. Then clock her one to the face. Girls love a spontaneous guy.<br /><br />20. Give her one of your t-shirts......and make sure it has your smell on it. But not a sexy cologne smell. A bad smell. You know what i'm talking about.<br /><br />21. When its raining keep asking her if she's crying. She'll say no it's just the rain. Ten minutes later, turn to her and just scream at her to stop crying you @#%$ baby. Girls like a tough man as i've already stated.<br /><br />22. Titty twisters, and plenty of them.<br /><br />23. If you're listening to music, and she asks to hear it, tell her no. this way she'll think you're mysterious.<br /><br />24. Remember her birthday but don't get her something. Teach her material objects aren't important. The only thing thats important is that she keeps you happy. And your happiness is the greatest present she can ever get.<br /><br />25. When she gives you a present on your birthday, Christmas or just<br />whenever, take it and tell her you love it. Then, next time you know<br />she's coming over on a trash day, leave the trash can open and have the<br />present visibly sticking out of the can. Girls actually don't like this one<br />that much, but I think it's funny.<br /><br />26. If she's mad at you for not calling her when you say you will,<br />promise her that you will call her at a certain time of the day. This will<br />make sure that she waits by the phone. Tell her when you call that you're<br />going to tell her a special surprise. Now she'll be really excited. Don't<br />call.alfredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05034352613184892914noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180749059599783933.post-10866512623991915152011-03-24T22:17:00.000-04:002011-03-24T22:25:35.849-04:00PBS Exposed!<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="340" height="221" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NmhzAUYLU90" frameborder="0"></iframe>alfredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05034352613184892914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180749059599783933.post-5594189678531958722011-03-24T22:12:00.000-04:002011-03-24T22:15:55.534-04:00Yes, Barak Obama is trying to destroy this country.<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="340" height="221" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/O_oq8ZGNy78" frameborder="0"></iframe>alfredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05034352613184892914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180749059599783933.post-34188876359194731242011-03-24T22:09:00.001-04:002011-03-24T22:26:17.604-04:00Libya vs. IraqLiberalism IS a mental disorder.<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yAyCdfOXvec?rel=0" frameborder="0" height="221" width="340"></iframe><br /><br />"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation". - Barry Hussein Obama 2007alfredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05034352613184892914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180749059599783933.post-32563783211126069942011-02-04T08:00:00.002-05:002011-02-04T08:02:59.863-05:00Pyramid Scheme<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2011/feb/01/egypt/?opinioncartoons"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBPax-sgFOKkHe27kNZr_eOsGUnooVQN2gO88QGYDonTnUJVASorcRpD-ybehXbLvvdwMsjwfZOUFxGILRbbTXB2fGaU0ZBpfMm2lwaNHu5FnM99Xvux7T013I7mEo5FkgcERpUQukVw/s400/110201_Egypt.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569818824898640738" border="0" /></a>alfredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05034352613184892914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180749059599783933.post-33684681246388319962011-01-28T20:18:00.006-05:002011-01-28T20:35:38.197-05:00"...

When it became clear that the gunman was a deranged lunatic whose political philosophy was more in tune with the loony Left than the Tea Party, liberals continued to cry out against a so-called climate of hate perpetuated by Right-wingers. Perhaps those making that charge have forgotten the hatefulness and violent words coming from their own. Here are the Top 10 Examples of Liberal Hate.</span><br /><br /><strong>(1) Palin Derangement Syndrome</strong>: The Left’s obsessive hatred of Sarah Palin is well-chronicled and is often accompanied by violent rhetoric. Let these three examples suffice: (1) Keith Halloran, a New Hampshire Democratic candidate, said on a Facebook thread that he wished Palin had been aboard the Alaska plane that crashed, killing five including Sen. Ted Stevens; (2) Another New Hampshire Democrat, Timothy Horrigan resigned from the state legislature after writing this gem on Facebook: "Well a dead Palin wd be even more dangerous than a live one . . . she is all about her myth & if she was dead she cldn't commit any more gaffes"; and (3) foul-mouthed comedian Sandra Bernhard warned Palin she would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" if she tried coming to New York.<br /><br /><strong>(2) Obama packing heat</strong>: Barack Obama has repeatedly sprinkled his political campaigning with words more appropriate to a street thug than the President of the United States. During his 2008 campaign he said in June, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” and in September, “I want you to go out and talk to your neighbors. . . . I want you to argue with them, get in their faces.” He kept it up during the recent midterm election with this comment: “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends . . . .”<br /><br /><strong>(3) Courtland Milloy’s spit wish</strong>: Washington Post columnist Courtland Milloy said that after the health care vote he wanted to spit on and assault Tea Party members: “I know how the ‘tea party’ people feel, the anger, venom and bile that many of them showed during the recent House vote on health care reform. I know because I want to spit on them, take one of their ‘Obama Plan White Slavery’ signs and knock every racist and homophobic tooth out of their Cro-Magnon heads.”<br /><br /><strong>(4) Krugman’s flip flop</strong>: New York <em>Times </em>columnist Paul Krugman was first out of the box connecting the Arizona shooting to Right-wing speech that created a climate of hate, intoning, “the purveyors of hate have been treated with respect, even deference, by the GOP establishment.” He must have forgotten his own words in December 2009 during the health care debate when he wrote, “A message to progressives: By all means, hang Senator Joe Lieberman in effigy.”<br /><br /><strong>(5) Bush Derangement Syndrome</strong>: Before it fades into history, the liberal hatred of President Bush should be recalled. Codepink, Michael Moore, rap stars and Hollywood comedians hurled vitriol against the President. A movie was made about his assassination. But as an example of violent rhetoric, special attention should be given to remarks made by New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi, who later apologized for describing fellow Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer as "the man who, how do I phrase this diplomatically, who will put a bullet between the President's eyes if he could get away with it."<br /><br /><strong>(6) <em>Daily Kos</em>’ hypocrisy</strong>: Markos Moulitsas, of the liberal Daily Kos, was also quick to indict the Right for the Arizona tragedy, tweeting that Sarah Palin had “accomplished her mission,” a reference to her midterm elections bulls-eye target of politicians that included Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. However, his Daily Kos website blog also included Gifford's district on a list of congressional districts "bulls-eyed" for primary challenges. And just last week, the website included a post declaring that Giffords was “dead to him” after she voted against Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House.<br /><br /><strong>(7) Exterminate Republicans</strong>: This is what passes for a theater review in the Village Voice: Michale Feingold, while reviewing the play "King Cowboy Rufus Rules the Universe," wrote: "Republicans don't believe in the imagination, partly because so few of them have one, but mostly because it gets in the way of their chosen work, which is to destroy the human race and the planet. Human beings, who have imaginations, can see a recipe for disaster in the making; Republicans, whose goal in life is to profit from disaster and who don't give a hoot about human beings, either can't or won't. Which is why I personally think they should be exterminated before they cause any more harm."<br /><br /><strong>(8) Hang Drudge</strong>: Liberal talk radio host Mike Malloy suggested stringing up Internet king Matt Drudge, saying, "Drudge? Aw, Drudge, somebody ought to wrap a strong Republican entrail around his neck and hoist him up about 6 feet in the air and watch him bounce.”<br /><br /><strong>(9) Outright assaults</strong>: Sometimes the hatred on the Left exceeds talk and escalates to violent assaults. Cases in point: In August 2009, members of the Service Employees International Union beat up Kenneth Gladney for distributing "Don't Tread On Me" flags at a Missouri town hall meeting. In June 2010, Nathan Tabor was punched in the face by a Democrat during a Tea Party protest in North Carolina. Last October, Human Events reporter Emily Miller was physically assaulted while interviewing Rep. Charlie Rangel during the “One Nation Working Together” rally at the National Mall in Washington.<br /><br /><strong>(10) Greenpeace "knows where you live"</strong>: Greenpeace advocated mass civil disobedience last April with this blog item on its website:“The proper channels have failed. It's time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and skepticism. . . . If you're one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fueling spurious debates around false solutions, and cattle-prodding democratically elected governments into submission, then hear this: We know who you are.

Brauchli, because "it seemed a deliberate provocation without a clear message." He added that "the point of the joke was not immediately clear" and that readers might think that Muhammad was somewhere in the drawing.</p> </blockquote> <p>If the <em>Post</em>'s new standard for comics is to make jokes "immediately clear," then it might be time to kill the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artsandliving/comics/"> comics page</a> altogether. No, Martel/Brauchli, you pulled the cartoon because your fear of Muslims outweighs your commitment to free expression, period.</p> <p>Now comes <em>L.A. Times</em> media critic James Rainey, who, even while <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/columnists/la-et-onthemedia-20101013,0,3182612.column"> concluding</a> that the cartoon should have run (the <em>L.A. Times</em>, to no one's surprise, suppressed it), makes sure we understand that fear was <em>not</em> a factor, nosiree:</p> <blockquote> <p>That's not to agree with some commentators who have called the refusal to run the comic a cowardly retreat from radicals. I'd say the ax that fell on "Non Sequitur" had more to do expediency. Moving in a hurry, with many other decisions that seemed more pressing at the time, editors probably killed the item rather than face the possibility of a furor for a piece they honestly felt was not of high quality.</p> </blockquote> <p>Uh-huh. This is really how these gut-checks work. A boundary-stretching case comes before you, and suddenly everyone's an art critic. (Rainey: "I didn't find the panel especially powerful or witty.") I'll never forget how many people reacted to the <em>fatwa</em> against Salman Rushdie by saying that, the thing is, <em>Satanic Verses</em> really <em>isn't</em> a very good book, and it's understandable that Muslims would take offense, etc. Faced with the fear of being blamed for (or the target of) a mysterious cartoon dog whistle that sends 1 billion of the planet's humans into a homicide-bombing frenzy, editors bring to the table levels of scrutiny literally never used on the media in question. As is underlined by Rainey's own reporting:</p> <blockquote> <p>[<em>Boston Globe</em>] Deputy managing editor Christine Chinlund said via e-mail: "When a cartoon takes on a sensitive subject, especially religion, it has an obligation to be clear. The 'Where's Muhammad' cartoon did not meet that test. It leaves the reader searching for clues, staring at a busy drawing, trying to discern a likeness, wondering if the outhouse at the top of the drawing is significant — in other words, perplexed."</p> <p>Said Alice Short, an <em>L.A. Times</em> assistant managing editor: "If they had produced a 'Non Sequitur' cartoon that said 'Where's Jesus?' I probably wouldn't have wanted to run that either."</p> </blockquote> <p>Is that the least believable media quote of 2010? Why yes, I think it is. This exchange at the end of the piece gets closer to the matter:</p> <blockquote> <p>At the Austin (Texas) <em>American-Statesman</em> a senior editor named Drew Marcks told me when I asked about the cartoon, "I'd rather not talk about it."</p> <p>I pressed. He hung up.</p> </blockquote> <p>Advice for my newspaper friends: Listen to <a href="http://reason.com/blog/2010/06/26/why-mr-anti-bullshit-wont-call">Penn Jillette</a>. "[W]e haven't tackled Islam because we have families," he says. "[A]nd I think the worst thing you can say about a group in a free society is that you're afraid to talk about it." There, that wasn't very hard, was it?</p> <p>I wrote about trying to convince the <em>L.A.
