Yes there can be humor, even in the time of war and crisis and this is too funny to let pass on by.

French MP Calls for War on Israel (via Moonbattery with Hat tip: LGF)

But much as I would love to watch the spectacle of whatever serves France for an army getting the daylights stomped out of it by "that shitty little country" — as the French ambassador to Britain calls Israel — I really doubt the French are logistically capable of moving enough troops across the Mediterranean to attract the IDF's attention.

Gaining Weight on the Sheehan Plan

How do you spell hypocrite?

C-i-n-d-y S-h-e-e-h-a-n.

Perhaps you heard that Mother Moonbat and her minions are fasting. Well, to be accurate, her minions are rolling fasting. Huh? you ask? That's right, a rolling fast ... I fast today and throw it to you and the fast rolls along with you fasting on Day 2 and then you roll it over to the next minionite. Cindy, on the other hand, claims to be in Day Six of her personal  "Troops Home Fast." She describes the hardships of her fast while traveling and vacationing in Venice:

I find traveling out of the country very challenging being on a fast. When I was on a layover in Madrid on my way to Venice, Italy yesterday, the closest thing I could find to a smoothie to get a little protein was a coffee with vanilla ice cream in it. Traveling for 22 hours is very taxing under normal circumstances--but then again, when have we had normal circumstances since the 2000 and 2004 successful coup attempts that have brought BushCo into power?

I traveled from Venice to the frontier of Italy to the province of Udine which is right at the foot of the pre-Alps. I am here for a huge youth festival which includes many elements of social justice and peace work. It is beautiful and the air feels different from other places that I have travelled. It is strangely soft and gentle as is the natural light. However, there is not a Jamba Juice on every corner, so blended juice drinks with protein powder are impossible to find.

So it is the rolling fast and the Cindy Sheehan "Troops Home ice cream, protein powder, Jamba juice, coffee, smoothie Fast." Is this woman really serious? Do I roll my eyes at her hypocrisy or just laugh my a$$  off at her stupidity at writing about the hardships of fasting without Jamba Juice on every corner?

Smoothies? Ice cream? Protein powder?

That’s not fasting, or half of the women in California are fasting.

But I’m so glad to see Mother Sheehan’s scored another vacation in Europe from her son’s heroic death.

And for God’s sake, whatever you do, don’t say she is "enjoying" her tragedy.

Well, she is sure "enjoying" something.

All a Rovian plot, doncha' know?

I discovered a blog new to me today and have instantly fallen in like with it. A taste from their post entitled:

"The Sting," or "Your Netroots are Showing"; or "Lefty Wackos Eat Their Own", or "Is Kos a CIA Agent-Provocateur?"

But what if something wierd is going on? After contemplating all of the above, and recent news on the blogs, etc., one must consider all of the rumors going around that The Daily Kos blog is a Bush-CIA-RNC Nixonian construct designed to discredit the Democratic Party. Since all of the Rovian hallmarks are there, I suspect that it is likely, but I can't prove it.

Just think about it: you set up a couple of websites to get a million angry amateurs and mentally unstable kooks (many of them probably CIA junior staff guys and RNC junior staff folks having great fun posting and cheerleading, plus thousands of Christian right-wing extremist volunteers) to dig into the core of your opposition, and weaken it from within. What could be more Rovian? More devilishly ingenious and convoluted? And to hire a haute-nurdy ex-Army guy for cover... too clever to be an accident. Don't ya think?

I shall definitely be visiting them again, even their "About" page is clever and very funny.

Very strange

I think I've mentioned more than a few times that Barking Moonbat Early Warning System is my all time favorite blog. How the Skipper always finds his more humorous postings is both a mystery and a testament to his talent for searching out the funny and unusual.

Today this is posted and I've reproduced it here mostly because my Mother and Uncle are both buried at Forest Lawn, although I'm not sure which of their several locations this sign belongs to.

Remember the story that appeared last month about the construction workers who made jackhammer sounds that someone took to be gun shots and the Capitol was evacuated for a short time? Well here is how Russian Intelligence has reported the story: (Hat tip: THE REVOLUTION BEGINS!)

Russian Intelligence Says Constitutional
Crisis In The USA Takes Deadly Turn
_{June 6, 2006}

(PRAVDA)—Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting that the ongoing constitutional crisis that has erupted in the United States has taken a decidedly deadly turn as counter-coup forces attempting to block access to the American capitol engaged in a brief gun battle with US Army Special Forces leaving at least 3 dead.

Of this currently unfolding event we can read as reported by England’s Times Online News Service in their article titled “US Capitol Sealed Off After Gunshots Heard,” and which says:

"Police sealed off part of Capitol Hill today after reports that gunshots had been heard in the garage of a House of Representatives office building. The shots were heard in the garage level of the Rayburn Building, which houses offices of members of the US House of Representatives. Bill Pickle, the Senate Sergeant at Arms, told Reuters: “We have been told by staff of shots fired and the smell of smoke in the lobby of the Rayburn House building ."

Russian Intelligence reports further state that the United States Army has activated for this event their 4th Psychological Operations Group / Task Organization and which was the US military unit that coordinated the mis/disinformation campaign during the events of September 11, 2001 to such great effect.

The causes behind this latest escalation between the coup and counter-coup forces in the United States stem from the American President’s attempt to wrest total control of his country from both its elected representatives and its judiciary, and as we can read as reported by Italy’s Bellaciao News Service in their article titled “Bush Asserting Powers Accrued By Hitler,” and which says:

"President Bush has used ‘signing statements’ hundreds of times to vitiate the meaning of statutes passed by Congress. In effect, Bush is vetoing the bills he signs into law by asserting unilateral authority as Commander In Chief to bypass or set aside the laws he signs. For example, Bush has asserted that he has the power to ignore the McCain Amendment Against Torture, to ignore the law that requires a warrant to spy on Americans, to ignore the prohibition against indefinite detention without charges or trial, and to ignore the Geneva Conventions to which the U. S. is signatory."

In effect, Bush is asserting the same powers seized by Adolf Hitler in 1933. His Federalist Society apologists and Department of Justice appointees claim that President Bush has the same power to interpret the Constitution as the Supreme Court. An Alito Court is likely to agree with this false claim. Bush Justice Department official and Berkeley law professor John Yoo argues that no law can restrict the President in his role as Commander In Chief. Thus, once the president is at war - even a vague, open-ended “war on terror” - Bush’s Justice Department says the president is free to undertake any action in pursuit of war, including the torture of children and the indefinite detention of American citizens.

In a further bid this week to tighten their grip upon the United States, military leaders have announced that their nation’s judges no longer have oversight over their actions, and as we can read as reported by the Reuters News Service in their article titled “US Says Gov’t, Not Courts, Should Judge Spy Secrets,” and which says:

"The United States government, not any court, is the best judge of whether to keep programs such as its controversial effort to eavesdrop on citizens a secret, an assistant attorney general said on Wednesday. Peter Keisler, an assistant attorney general, and other U. S. officials made the claim in the latest filing to a lawsuit alleging that telecommunications firm AT&T illegally allowed the government to monitor phone conversations and e-mail communications.

“In cases such as this one, where the national security of the United States is implicated, it is well established that the executive branch is best positioned to judge the potential effects of disclosure of sensitive information on the nation’s security, they wrote in a filing on Wednesday evening."

But perhaps the greatest threat to the American people surrounding these events was the military leaders of the United States launching an unprecedented raid upon their nation’s Capitol Building, and as we can read as reported by the Chicago Sun Times News Service in their article titled “Bush Woos Fiery Hastert With 45-Day Cooldown”, and which says:

"President Bush ordered a 45-day cooling off period Thursday between Congress and the Justice Department in a battle over a lawmaker’s seized documents, a bid to patch frayed relations between the White House and House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert.

Hastert, usually a Bush loyalist, on Thursday accused the Justice Department of trying to intimidate’him by leaking information to ABC News. The leak was prompted, he said, by his complaints about a weekend FBI raid of Rep. William Jefferson’s Capitol Hill office. The Louisiana Democrat is the target of an FBI corruption probe. The Sun-Times learned that Hastert confronted Bush with his concerns over the FBI raid during the president’s trip to Chicago on Monday to address the National Restaurant Association."

- Believe it or not, there’s even more of this silliness at PRAVDA! Da, comrade ...

That's right, back with another great post from our favorite humor blog:

always low standards for research. always.

By Jon on Current Affairs

The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) released a study this week that sent economists scrambling to reexamine long-held assumptions regarding the fundamental workings of our economy.

In the study, the EPI found that if Wal-Mart paid its workers more, the company would make less money.

We found it hard to believe too thinking perhaps it was merely an optical illusion or maybe just a Sudoku puzzle gone horribly wrong, but we’ve run the numbers several times ourselves making use of such complex mathematical concepts as subtraction (thanks for making me stick it out in the first grade, dad, instead of abandoning my education for a career in finger painting and "seeing how far you have to drop a watch to make it break") and sure enough, if you increase costs, profits go down. It’s just uncanny. ... More
