Morning Briefs: Stuff You May Have Already Read Somewhere Else
Posted by Gregory of Yardale at November 13, 2009 5:31 AM
Good Morning Campers and Strange Furry Creatures from Alpha Centauri
Item Number One: The MSM has no trouble labeling anyone to right of Olympia Snowe hardcore conservative. So, what do you think the MSM would call a senator who's an open, avowed socialist? In the case of Bernie Sanders (S-VT), the phrase they us is "left leaning." What an understatement. Bernie leans toward socialist in the same sense that Balloon Daddy leans toward getting some publicity for himself. If an avowed socialist can't be described as a leftist, who can be? Do you ever hear the MSM ever describe anything or anyone as "hard left?" Not even Castro or Chavez.
Item Number Two: Bill Clinton whines about the treatment of women on the show 'Mad Men.' Apparently, women around the Sterling Coop office are treated as nothing more than objects for the sexual gratification of men. This is like Roman Polanski complaining that Miley Cyrus's skirts are too short. Very much like that, in fact.
Item Number Three: Headline of the day: Irish priest kidnapped in Philippines released by MILF. (Hey, I never said every item had to be about left-wing insanity.) The article quotes the kidnap victim --- I am not making this up --- as saying "I think if they wanted to kidnap somebody they'd be inclined to go for a much younger man "
Have a nice weekend. Here's a stinger that kind of sums up my feelings on the past week.

Off-topic: Actual Moonbat Found on My Doorstep Last Night!
At 8:00 last night, there was a jovial sort of knock at the door. At the door stood a skinny little fella with long straggly hair. "Hello," he said, "I'm not a salesman, I'm a Community Organizer!" He said this with his thumb pointing proudly to his chest. "We are working to organize the community around social justice concerns and the environment!"
Well, we've always joked on here about what we'd do if someone like that came to our door. I was at a loss for words, but I think my facial expressions spoke for me. I reacted as if he'd handed me a live tarantula: Puzzlement, followed by abject horror, followed by utter disgust. "I'm kinda busy right now." "Oh but it will only take a minute!" he squeaked, as I shut the heavy oak door and locked it audibly.
Sorry for the long story, I just had to share. This is a conservative small town, I hope the little fella was OK.

If that had happened at my house, I would have said "Hold on a minute," mostly closed the door but still left it open a crack, and called downstairs, "CJ! We got any more room in the crawlspace."
And my son would have come upstairs with a machete, a shotgun, and an evil grin on his face. (We're very copacetic like that.)
