Patterico's Pontifications

Somehow, it doesn’t trouble me quite so much as “Mission Accomplished.”

Oregonian (14abba) — 6/1/2007 @ 6:42 am

I somehow doubted that it would…

Scott Jacobs (90eabe) — 6/1/2007 @ 6:46 am

Makes it easy for the campaign promise to be ignored, since “tommorrow” will never arrive.

Damion (0e08b4) — 6/1/2007 @ 7:23 am

“Hillary Lied, People Died” would be more appropriate.

Perfect Sense (b6ec8c) — 6/1/2007 @ 7:40 am

Hmmm…. more evidence that vouchers are sorely needed and overdue.

BTW, Ore? Your grasp of facts is as stunning as your sense of humor.

Darleen (187edc) — 6/1/2007 @ 7:58 am

Wasn’t Tom Morrow the guy who ran for Congress as a Democrat from Oceanside about 15 years ago ? He was the local grand kleagle, as I recall. Maybe he’s joining the campaign.

Mike K (86bddb) — 6/1/2007 @ 8:16 am

I wonder if any of the new jobs will be at nukular power plants.

BTW, Darleen? Your lack of wit is as obvious as your sycophancy.

Moops (8fcb37) — 6/1/2007 @ 9:20 am

nukular power plants

Channeling Jhimmi Carter?

Darleen (187edc) — 6/1/2007 @ 9:27 am

Or Dubya. Must be something in the water down south that makes everyone talk like a retard.

Moops (8fcb37) — 6/1/2007 @ 9:46 am

She’s talking about Tom Morrow.

Dan Collins (208fbe) — 6/1/2007 @ 9:56 am

Must be something in the water down south that makes everyone talk like a retard.

I’m going to sit for a moment in awe of how much bigotry and elitism you have packed into one, short, declarative sentence.

Darleen (187edc) — 6/1/2007 @ 10:03 am

Be in awe of how much whining you pack into your life as well.

Moops (8fcb37) — 6/1/2007 @ 10:14 am

Moops:

I can not only spell, but I speak with a neutral accent. I don’t live in the South and I’m not a retard.

dubya (753723) — 6/1/2007 @ 10:14 am

*chuckles*

Damn, Moops is a mouthy lil bitch, ain’t (s)he?

Darleen, just stop talking to the troll… There’s no way you’ll convince him of his own stupidity, so why even bother?

Scott Jacobs (90eabe) — 6/1/2007 @ 10:15 am

And Dub’s… I think he was refering to the PotUS…

Scott Jacobs (90eabe) — 6/1/2007 @ 10:16 am

Of course, you don’t have to be born in the South to “talk like a retard” or even to talk like you’re from the South.

A certain woman from Chicago has been known to affect a Southern accent on more than one occasion to pander to her interest group du jour.

csufbomb (ee2a18) — 6/1/2007 @ 10:28 am

In the spirit of good faith, I will apologize for my bigoted comment. I should not have insulted mentally challenged people by comparing them to southerners.

Moops (8fcb37) — 6/1/2007 @ 10:36 am

Let’s put in context please. From memory:

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it will soon be here
It will be here
Better than before
It’s yesterday once more.

OK? For those from Rio Lindo: “We doan wan the ’70s again, Hillary!”

nk (835ea1) — 6/1/2007 @ 10:39 am

Does Moops know that our host is from texas?

Scott Jacobs (90eabe) — 6/1/2007 @ 11:05 am

Moops, that was a serious insult to all mentally challenged people (is that the current PCism?). To compare them to Jimmy Carter or George W Bush is atrocious. And apparently, living in the South is an honor to which you neither aspire nor are fitted for.

(Writing this from well south of the Mason Dixon line)

kishnevi (202292) — 6/1/2007 @ 11:07 am

“In the spirit of good faith, I will apologize for my bigoted comment. I should not have insulted mentally challenged people by comparing them to southerners.“

Quoth’d the one with the humor & grasp of reality of a retarded, comatose, crack-addled freshwater hydra.

Moop, my grey matter-deficient lil’ friend, slanderously grouping people by their geographic identity is every bit as bigoted and close-minded as grouping them by their race, religion, sexual orientation, etc., ad nauseum… Hypocrisy from a self-styled “free thinking Progressive“? Whoddathunkit?

From the few comments of yours that I’ve had the misfortune of ever having read, if ignorance is bliss, you and your like-minded LefTardian Drooling Ungulates must be happier than a herd of Ecstasy-snortin’ pigs in a puddle of shi’ite.

B.C. (50aa75) — 6/1/2007 @ 11:16 am

And apparently, living in the South is an honor to which you neither aspire nor are fitted for.

’tis true, except for the honor part. All you need do is read BC’s comment to see why.

Moops (8fcb37) — 6/1/2007 @ 11:22 am

And you still can’t grasp the irony in your being intellectually shredded into bloody little pieces by us knuckle-draggin’ Southerners.

B.C. (50aa75) — 6/1/2007 @ 11:26 am

OK? For those from Rio Lindo: “We doan wan the ’70s again, Hillary!”

Actually, it’s “Rio Linda“, not the more intuitive “Rio Lindo.” Not sure whether the name indicates that it is a river named after a chick named Linda (as opposed to a river that is cute), or whether they just picked a deliberately ungrammatical Spanish name to make themselves sound even more retarded than Rush Limbaugh makes them out to be.

Xrlq (bc8348) — 6/1/2007 @ 11:35 am

And you still can’t grasp the irony in your being intellectually shredded into bloody little pieces by us knuckle-draggin’ Southerners.

Needs more random bold and italics. You’re slipping.

Moops (8fcb37) — 6/1/2007 @ 12:04 pm

The thought of a theme song for the hag gags worse then anything I can think of .This election is going to be painful.as a Reagan Republican.
I cant take either part any more

john galt (379452) — 6/1/2007 @ 12:14 pm

It’s interesting to note that those who believe a Southern accent indicative of drool and double digit IQ’s, also believe that a British accent is indicative of cultural superiority or a French accent is indicative of romantic superiority or a German accent indicative of a taste for shiny leather boots and invasions.

There are only two ‘races’ in the world, the decent and the indecent.

Darleen (187edc) — 6/1/2007 @ 12:17 pm

or a German accent indicative of a taste for shiny leather boots and invasions.

“We were invited! Cake was served!!”

Scott Jacobs (90eabe) — 6/1/2007 @ 12:33 pm

From the few comments of yours that I’ve had the misfortune of ever having read, if ignorance is bliss, you and your like-minded LefTardian Drooling Ungulates must be happier than a herd of Ecstasy-snortin’ pigs in a puddle of shi’ite.

I was going to mention how great of a quote this was, put figured by putting it in quotes, the readers here could see it, yet again.

Well said !!!

JD (68b9b3) — 6/1/2007 @ 1:24 pm

Darleen, according to Ned Rorem, the two sorts of humans are French and Germans. (“Men are German. Women are French. I am French. If you disagree with my analysis, you are German.”) But he forgot to take account of people like Moops.

kishnevi (7a9e8b) — 6/1/2007 @ 1:40 pm

Aw, JD, don’t be mad at me here because I made you look foolish elsewhere.

It’s interesting to note that those who believe a Southern accent indicative of drool and double digit IQ’s, also believe that a British accent is indicative of cultural superiority or a French accent is indicative of romantic superiority or a German accent indicative of a taste for shiny leather boots and invasions.

Who are these people? Can you name anyone who believes all these things, or are you just making stuff up?

Moops (8fcb37) — 6/1/2007 @ 1:43 pm

Reminds me of the “Free Beer Tomorrow” sign in a pub.

9/11 – THE TRUTH!

9/11 – EVIDENCE OF COMPLICITY

AWOL Chain of Command:

a. It is well documented that the officials topping the chain of command for response to a domestic attack – George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Myers, Montague Winfield – all found reason to do something else during the actual attacks, other than assuming their duties as decision-makers.
b. Who was actually in charge? Dick Cheney, Richard Clarke, Norman Mineta and the 9/11 Commission directly conflict in their accounts of top-level response to the unfolding events, such that several (or all) of them must be lying.

Air Defense Failures:

a. The US air defense system failed to follow standard procedures for responding to diverted passenger flights.
b. Timelines: The various responsible agencies – NORAD, FAA, Pentagon, USAF, as well as the 9/11 Commission – gave radically different explanations for the failure (in some cases upheld for years), such that several officials must have lied; but none were held accountable.
c. Was there an air defense standdown?

Pentagon Strike:

How was it possible the Pentagon was hit 1 hour and 20 minutes after the attacks began? Why was there no response from Andrews Air Force Base, just 10 miles away and home to Air National Guard units charged with defending the skies above the nation’s capital? How did Hani Hanjour, a man who failed as a Cessna pilot on his first flight in a Boeing, execute a difficult aerobatic maneuver to strike the Pentagon? Why did the attack strike the just-renovated side, which was largely empty and opposite from the high command?

Wargames:

a. US military and other authorities planned or actually rehearsed defensive response to all elements of the 9/11 scenario during the year prior to the attack – including multiple hijackings, suicide crashbombings, and a strike on the Pentagon.
b. The multiple military wargames planned long in advance and held on the morning of September 11th included scenarios of a domestic air crisis, a plane crashing into a government building, and a large-scale emergency in New York. If this was only an incredible series of coincidences, why did the official investigations avoid the issue? There is evidence that the wargames created confusion as to whether the unfolding events were “real world or exercise.” Did wargames serve as the cover for air defense sabotage, and/or the execution of an “inside job”?

Flight 93:

Did the Shanksville crash occur at 10:06 (according to a seismic report) or 10:03 (according to the 9/11 Commission)? Does the Commission wish to hide what happened in the last three minutes of the flight, and if so, why? Was Flight 93 shot down, as indicated by the scattering of debris over a trail of several miles?

THE DAY – SMOKING GUNS

Did cell phones work at 30,000 feet in 2001? How many hijacking were attempted? How many flights were diverted?

Demolition Lies and Fairy Tales:

What caused the collapse of a third skyscraper, WTC 7, which was not hit by a plane? Were the Twin Towers and WTC 7 brought down by explosives? (See “The Case for Demolitions,” the websites wtc7.net and 911research.wtc7.net, and the influential article by physicist Steven Jones. See also items no. 16 and 24, below.)

FOREKNOWLEDGE & THE ALLEGED HIJACKERS

What did officials know? How did they know it?

a. Multiple allied foreign agencies informed the US government of a coming attack in detail, including the manner and likely targets of the attack, the name of the operation (the “Big Wedding”), and the names of certain men later identified as being among the perpetrators.
b. Various individuals came into possession of specific advance knowledge, and some of them tried to warn the US prior to September 11th.
c. Certain prominent persons received warnings not to fly on the week or on the day of September 11th.

Able Danger, Plus – Surveillance of Alleged Hijackers:

a. The men identified as the 9/11 ringleaders were under surveillance for years beforehand, on the suspicion they were terrorists, by a variety of US and allied authorities – including the CIA, the US military’s “Able Danger” program, the German authorities, Israeli intelligence and others.
b. Two of the alleged ringleaders who were known to be under surveillance by the CIA also lived with an FBI asset in San Diego, but this is supposed to be yet another coincidence.

Bush’s Secret Government:

a. The record of criminality and sponsorship of coups around the world by the covert networks based within the US intelligence complex.
b. Specifically also: The evidence of crime by Bush administration principals and their associates, from October Surprise to Iran-Contra and the S&L plunder to AIPAC, PNAC, Enron/Halliburton, Bechtel, Diebold and beyond.

SUMMARY:

BUSH LIED – PEOPLE DIED

HarleyRace (d2f0f5) — 6/1/2007 @ 2:58 pm

Patterico, you appear to have been infected with a conspiratorial blog roach. This is an exceedingly difficult kind of roach to eliminate. Attempting to argue with it only causes the roach to dig in and spew more conspiracy theories.

I encourage everyone to refrain from feeding the blog roach.

How can I think about tommorrow when I’m still trying to get over yesturday?

Clark Baker (8fd1b7) — 6/1/2007 @ 8:52 pm

HarleyRace, let’s use some of your logic…

4/14 TRUTH!

WAS THE TITANIC REALLY SUNK BY AN ICEBERG on April 14th 1912?!!!111

The Beginning:

In 1898, American author Morgan Robertson writes a book titled ‘Futility’ in which a British luxury liner hits an iceberg and sinks. The name of the ship: ‘The Titan’. COINCIDENCE, or evidence of the beginning of an American plot to destroy the confidence of British shipping?????

Two Ships:

In 1908, construction begins on identical ships; the Titanic and the Olympic. Why did they need 2 ships? Was there a more sinister reason behind the construction of a second ship? Seems as if they KNEW ahead of time that the Titanic would sink on its first voyage and a second ship would be needed!!!

‘Collision’:

On April 13th, the Titanic relays that they are sailing through clear whether. The very next day, the Titanic has a ‘collision’ with an iceberg!!!! How is this possible? How could the ship hit an iceberg if the radio operator signaled for clear whether just a day earlier???

Not Enough Life Boats:

The Titanic was constructed with an insufficient amount of lifeboats aboard. COINCIDENCE????? Or evidence of a plot to kill a maximum amount of those aboard when the staged ‘collision’ occurred???!!!111

Claims of Invulnerability:

The creators of the Titanic made statements prior to its maiden voyage that it was ‘unsinkable’, ‘indestructible’ and ‘not even God himself could sink the Titanic’. If this information is correct, how are we to believe that this ship was sunk by nothing more than frozen water???!!!!

Evidence of a Lie, or, the Science:

Metal is stronger than water. Extensive studies by scientists, scientists with beakers and test tubes and schematics, have proven that ice melts at a temperature of 33 degrees Fahrenheit. Metal requires far higher temperatures than that. Do they expect us to believe that a massive ship made of iron was sunk by ice? If ice is so powerful, why not make ships out of it??? Then they would never be sunk by icebergs! Vikings crossed the North Atlantic in wooden ships centuries before the Titanic sailed. How is it that Leif Ericson made it, but the Titanic didn’t? COINCIDENCE??? Or evidence of a massive conspiracy???!!!!

Conclusions and the Smoking Gun:

Titanic is a synonym for large. The Titanic supposedly hit a very large iceberg. Coincidence? A Jewish guy missed the boat that day when he missed his ride to the docks. Did he really miss his ride, or did he have prior knowledge to stay home? The evidence is piling up.
Titanic has 7 letters, iceberg has 7. 7 + 7 = 14. The ship sank on April 14th. 14 + 7 = 21, reverse those letters and you get 12… 1912!!! COINCIDENCE????!!!! I don’t think so!!!!

Was the Titanic sunk by an iceberg, and if not, who was responsible??

NO!!!!!1111 It was a clever and devious plot to kill off a vast majority of the elite class aboard orchestrated by…

teh Jooooooossss!!!!!111oneone1one

fngJD (49df46) — 6/1/2007 @ 9:23 pm

You probably think I spelled ‘weather’ wrong in the above hypothesis on accident, right? Well I didn’t. I did it on purpose. I purposely added inaccuracies so you would do your own research and find the truth! 4/14 Truth now! Investigate the Titanic sinking!!!111

fngJD (49df46) — 6/1/2007 @ 9:27 pm

That stuff by fngJD?

Absolutely true.

All of it.

GOOGLE IT, PEOPLE.

4/14 – 4/15 – ish TRUTH MOVEMENT LIVES!!!!

Abraxas (6cd552) — 6/1/2007 @ 10:06 pm

On another note, I’m going to start doing some ‘investigating’ into the government cover up of the Columbia space shuttle explosion. In light of the new evidence brought to the surface by Rosie O’Donnell, stating that ‘for the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible.‘, I think it is our duty as Americans to take a second look. Because it is well known that for the last century, steel is grown in large beams, sprockets or cog wheels, depending on the region, and then picked when it is ripe.

I’m beginning to see the evidence of a massive government cover up here folks. The shuttle is made of steel… and we are suppose to believe that it broke up in the atmosphere because of fire and heat brought on by the collision of a tiny piece of FOAM??!! It should have come crashing down to Earth in one giant heap, because it is impossible for fire to melt it. This thing has conspiracy written all over it. Nope, the scientists will tell you. Real ones, with degrees and pocket protectors. You know, the smart ones.

Steel can’t melt…

It had to be a missile. Only explanation. And who fired this missile? It was fired by…

the Joooooosssss!!!!!1111one1one

Every one knows that they are envious of our space program. Our rockets. Our explorations of planets like Mars, and Jupiter and Venus. It’s Venus envy, that’s what it is. Google it people… 2/1 Truth now! Investigate the Columbia explosion!!!

fngJD (49df46) — 6/2/2007 @ 12:10 am

I know what you’re saying. ‘But fngJD, steel doesn’t need to be fully melted to be compromised because it loses 50% of it’s strength at 650 degrees Fahrenheit.‘ C’mon guys, we all know those numbers and the ‘witchdoctors’ who spout them are just paid mouthpieces of their Zionist overlords. Steel can’t melt. It’s impossible. Next you’ll have me believing that a person could build a fire and bang away at it with a hammer to shape it into all kinds of things! Impossible…

fngJD (49df46) — 6/2/2007 @ 12:42 am

fngJD, those are funnier than hell…

I needed to start my day with a laugh…

“Actually, it’s “Rio Linda“, not the more intuitive “Rio Lindo.” Not sure whether the name indicates that it is a river named after a chick named Linda (as opposed to a river that is cute), or whether they just picked a deliberately ungrammatical Spanish name to make themselves sound even more retarded than Rush Limbaugh makes them out to be.”

Lindar is a Spanish verb which means ‘to be contiguous’

‘Rio Linda’ therefore might meant that it is adjacent to a river.

Bill H (845f5e) — 6/2/2007 @ 10:15 am

The bottom line is this who ever was in charge of putting that backdrop in back of Hillary spelled Tomorrow incorrectly.With that being said no question about it if this was a Republican all the libnuts on this thread along with their talking heads and media would be making 24 hr political hay out of it but seeing as it’s the Hildabeast a Democrat and most likely the DNC’s presidential sacrificial lamb oops nominee it’s ok to give such an important speach about education with incorrect spelled words. But if you’re a Republican you’re a retard for doing it.Oh and by the way when is Damascus Piglosi going to start draining the swamp?

Dina Casucci (fc7c50) — 6/2/2007 @ 10:51 am

I forgot to ad that Hillary knew about this and did ignore it knowing that her party and her media would either make light out of it or totally ignore it.

Dina Casucci (fc7c50) — 6/2/2007 @ 10:53 am

Has anyone read or heard about the story concerning Bill Clinton bleeding elderly people dry of their hard earned savings? I did and will be blogging all about it sorry libs you can’t hide anymore of your party’s dirt because we the pajamas media will expose it!

Dina Casucci (fc7c50) — 6/2/2007 @ 10:57 am

yesturday, all my troubles seemed so far away…

actually, the closest analogue is dan quayle “potatoe”, and i’d take hillary over him, the guy was a stone moron.

if we’re gonna reopen the causes of 9/11 and the columbia disaster in the commentspace, i want to look at the death of president warren gamaliel harding. i have heard from several different folks over the years that he was poisoned.

assistant devil's advocate (cba790) — 6/2/2007 @ 11:01 am

I almost forgot go to wizbang.com and read about how Hillary who along with her senate and congressional cronies were screeching at the top of their lungs how illegl and wrong it was for President Bush to wiretap phones. Yet ignores the fact that she( if the story pans out to be true) unlike Bush who said the only calls that would be monitored would be the ones concerning citizens talking Al Quada would be guilty of listening in on tape recorded phone calls from her opponants in order to further her on to her White House dreams.

Dina Casucci (fc7c50) — 6/2/2007 @ 11:11 am

So when are Democrats going to come up with plans for America rather than plans to destroy President Bush and America?

Dina Casucci (fc7c50) — 6/2/2007 @ 11:15 am

Bill H,

In Spanish, “linda” also means pretty or beautiful. It could be that Rio Linda got it’s name because it was a beautiful river.

DRJ (2d5e62) — 6/2/2007 @ 11:35 am

Right, but if that’s why it was so named, its name ought to be Rio Lindo.

Xrlq (cd586a) — 6/2/2007 @ 1:08 pm

I like Bill H.’s explanation at #49. “Riverside” but that was already taken so “Rio Linda”. I live in a “Rio Linda” under Bill’s definition myself.

nk (c66fe9) — 6/2/2007 @ 2:03 pm

It made me smile to see this glaring spelling error on Hillary’s backdrop, and days later the National Spelling Bee took place…announcing its new champion, a homeschooled boy. Fun stuff.

Milhouse (6991d0) — 6/4/2007 @ 2:05 pm

Re: “potatoe”. Just a week before the Quayle story happened, I was playing the Australian edition of Trivial Pursuit™ and got the question “How is potato spelled in America?”. Now as far as I knew it was spelled the same way as it is on the card, but that obviously wasn’t the answer the publisher wanted, and the most likely of the four choices given was “potatoe”; and indeed when we turned over the card, that was given as the correct answer. I was rather puzzled by this, but was astounded a week later when Dan Quayle spelled it that way. So there you go; maybe Quayle had been playing Trivial Pursuit and put too much faith in its accuracy.

PS: I saw at least some news reports at the time claiming that this was in fact the way it’s spelled in Indiana. If those reports were right, then this goes down as yet another instance of False Quayle Dumbness Syndrome.
