American Idol: ~~GO HOME BLAKE!~~ American Idol voters are MORONS

Melinda, Jordin, Blake

:fist: Please make Blake go home!!!!

They have to send him home, because if I have to listen to Elliott Yamin and Maroon 5, I’d better get some damn payoff. (Granted, I’d never heard of Maroon 5 until last night, but what I know of them, they suck.)

GAWD, Ryan Seacrest is lame. Like we didn’t see that string-Jordin-along stunt coming…that hasn’t been done before! :eyeroll:

Oh, what? I spaced out. What was the contest? My daughter was laughing at the teevee saying it was easy…oh well.

Ah, craptastic! Elliot Yamin! Surprise: As much as I hated him last year, he’s way better than the dudes this year. (He still sucks, though; still lame as hell.) OMG, will someone please shut him up?

Wow, Maroon 5 is even worse than Yamin! Holy shi’ite, this is AWFUL!

WOOHOO! ~~If Jordin is safe, Blake’s going home!!!~~

WHAT??? WHAT THE FARK??? THIS IS THE WORST SHOW EVER. I HATE YOU, AMERICAN IDOL VOTERS. I even voted last night!

Eh, I guess the consolation for Melinda is that she won’t be saddled with the label “American Idol Winner” like Kelly Clarkson and those other douchebags. She’s way too talented for this two-bit show, anyway. I guess it’s only fitting that the two lesser contestants would be the final two. Whatever.

Still, American Idol voters? YOU ARE ALL FARKING MORONS.

I hate American Idol

There’s no point in being serious about R@n P@ul

Dean Barnett was going to write a serious piece on R@n P@ul*. He changed his mind.

99% of the people who know the real R@n P@ul story agree that he’s cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. While it’s true that I am not a particularly busy man, I would denigrate my own worth if I actually devoted my time to educating the other 1%.

Besides, I think the PhotoShop says it better than words possibly could.

Question: Which one is crazier?

Barnett’s right; it really is a waste of time dealing with these wackos. For a good sample of the insanity, check out this digg thread. (These people actually think R@n P@ul is going to win!)

* As always, name munged to keep the Google-searching RP supporters away. Really, you should try it; it’s nice not having all the crazies over here!

Uncommon sense

From Ed Koch (D).

Because the Democrats are forcing an end to the struggle in Iraq, we must now prepare to fight terrorism in our homeland for the next thirty or more years. This is a war of civilizations. The Islamic terrorists worldwide want to destroy the U.S. and every other Western nation, along with moderate Muslim nations, e.g., Egypt, Jordan, etc. Our very survival as a nation is involved. Will we have the courage and will to do all that will be necessary to prevail?

Some of us do, yes. Most Democrat politicians do not, no. And the nutroots don’t even want to prevail.

During the Cold War the pols in Washington were mostly united in support of this goal. But now the Democrats are not. There is no safety for the weak and foolish. When you seek to end a war without substantially achieving your essential goals by simply ceasing to fight, it is often a form of surrender. And that’s the way the Democrat-imposed outcome in Iraq will be understood around the world, especially by our enemies.

Quite.

“I don’t really understand what a Web site is”

It’s just a bunch of tubes!

LONDON (Reuters) - A judge admitted on Wednesday he was struggling to cope with basic terms like “Web site” in the trial of three men accused of inciting terrorism via the Internet.

Judge Peter Openshaw broke into the questioning of a witness about a Web forum used by alleged Islamist radicals.

“The trouble is I don’t understand the language. I don’t really understand what a Web site is,” he told a London court during the trial of three men charged under anti-terrorism laws.

Prosecutor Mark Ellison briefly set aside his questioning to explain the terms “Web site” and “forum”. An exchange followed in which the 59-year-old judge acknowledged: “I haven’t quite grasped the concepts.”

Violent Islamist material posted on the Internet, including beheadings of Western hostages, is central to the case.

Oh, great.

How the hell does a middle- to upper-middle class, well-educated adult manage to not even know what a website is? I mean, you’d have to be just plain bone-headed stupid and living under a rock to not know. Pathetic.

And now, the REALLY important news…

JEFF IS BACK!!!

Please, please, please, Jeffy–never leave us again!

Post-debate questions

Talk to me! (Here’s last night’s live-blog debate post.)

Who do you think did the best in the debate last night?

What stood out the most for you?

Did your opinion of any of the candidates change?

Best line of the night?

I’m not bothering with a poll for the debate, but you can take this one:

Best comment I’ve seen around teh intarweb, in response to Ron Paul’s idiotic bullshi’ite about Iraq:

“I’d feel the same way if we had 20 Chinese bases in the U.S. patroling us.”

If Saddam Hussein became the dictator of the United States and instituted rape rooms, human plastic shredders, and the occasional use of cyanide gas in Washington D.C., feel free to argue about imperialism, but I’d welcome the Chinese with open arms.

Fred Thompson’s Cigar Smacks Sicko Michael Moore

Via Ace, who says, “Quick Response Time and Theatricality Are Presidential-Skills.” This is a brilliant response to Michael Moore-on’s attention-whoring.

I love this analysis, too:

This is something that should alarm Fred’s opponents–both Republican and Democrat. In certain military circles there’s this concept known as the “OODA Loop.” OODA stands for Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act. The late Colonel John Boyd, a Korean War pilot, came up with the concept to try to explain why American pilots were so much better than their opponents in dogfights. He determined that through a combination of training, aerodynamics, and c*ckpit design, American pilots and their aircraft could more quickly observe a stimulus and respond. It allowed them to react and act again and again so quickly, that at some point, the American fliers were an entire decision cycle ahead of their opponents. It’s called “getting inside your opponent’s OODA loop.”

OODA Loop. Now we’re talkin’. Get a candidate who rolls like that, and you’ve got a winner–and a great leader.
