| − | | + | Palestine is a dog that Israel keeps starving and chained up in its back yard, and kicks nearly to death every four years. Less than four years after the Hypocrites of the Apocalypse used banned white phosphorus, and illegally used cluster bombs against civilians in the midst of a massive bombing campaign, in which even UN convoys and headquarters were hit with 'friendly fire', they are doing it all again.

Palestine is a dog that Israel keeps starving and chained up in its back yard, and kicks nearly to death every four years. Less than four years after the Hypocrites of the Apocalypse used banned white phosphorus, and illegally used cluster bombs against civilians in the midst of a massive bombing campaign, in which even UN convoys and headquarters were hit with 'friendly fire', they are doing it all again. And let us not forget, partisans are not stationed in civilian areas because they want to use civilians as shields, but because they live there. And what gives Israel the right to complain of human shields, when they plan on killing the civilians standing in the way, in any case? Giving someone ten minutes to get out of their house does not excuse blowing it up. And the hypocrisy and war crimes go on and on.
Ignorance is Strength
The Rug of The Freedom of The November
...and Right-wingers not just wooly headed, but dreamy poets as well : "opportunity called November"
- "We are unwilling to let this cabal of radicals pull the rug of freedom out from under us in our lifetime. Now we have this glorious opportunity called November" -Rep. Rep. Michelle Bachman[1]
- Hush, sweet prince Reagan, Lo, it doth come all 'p'on the Silken Winges of Opportunytie, and those assembled before, verily shall they dub it, The November
- Feel downtrodden? Your freedoms trampled under foot? People in power suits walking all over you? New evidence has emerged of a possible reason why, and a possible solution. Just tug on the rug. Oh, if it were only that simple
Ouroboros Borborygmus
The Industrial-representative-military complex has already eaten itself. It is just too stupid to die
Divined from the entrails[2] of an imaginary scapegoat:
- 2009 : Obama chooses the Republicans' health care plan, hoping everyone will finally agree with it. Reps create the name "Obamacare" (WP) and declare war on it
- 2029: The Dems disband and join the Reps, hoping everyone will finally agree. Reps create the Fatherland Party, leave the Republican Party and declare war on it
Non-witch's innocence proved by drowning. God be praised.
"If we're using a database lacking citizenship information to exclude non-citizens of, you know, one ethnicity or another from voting, you can't blame us if we exclude some citizens of, ahem!, one political party or another, by mistake"
- Sure, no problem. And if we were to use this recall order to seek redress and express our feelings about this policy, you couldn't blame us if we removed from power, you know, some Florida governor or his henchmen, by mistake[3][4][5]
Capitalist Cloud Cuckoo Land
You probably know the Law of Supply and Demand as saying that the price of something goes up when the supply decreases, but knowledge of the Law itself has fed back into the loop, causing speculators to sell when the price goes up, and therefore the supply increases.
- If it is Opposite Tuesday, then this not a Law, it is Fizzbin
Neurotics build castles in the sky. Psychotics live in them. Capitalists float a futures market on the expected returns of rent from them
This is either, a
Fahrvergnügen Driving Excitement Moment (aka
Traffic Jam), or lunch break at the
Feed and Seed, depending on whether the guy is waiting for a line of cars in front of him or waiting for his burger and fries to digest. You decide. Kind of makes a mess of the argument that public transportation is lame because you have to wait for buses
Lemmings
- "...Packed like lemmings into shiny - metal - boxes / contestants in a suicidal race..." - The Police, Synchronicity II
Fully occupied buses get between 50%[6] and 125%[7] more miles per gallon per passenger than fully occupied cars. This model, of course, is not ideal;[8] car occupancy is an average of 1.5 passengers rather than four, and bus occupancy goes from nearly full occupancy at rush hour to almost empty at other times.[9]
Minibus and microbus routes have been used to great effect in Oxford England and other cities, often in developing nations, and achieve high levels of occupancy. With greater efficiency and smaller buses, the time between buses can also be reduced. But the key is public participation. The more people turn from private to public transportation, the lower the wait time, and the more expansion of bus routes.
Eternal War
Steven Colbert says that Elmo's arabic-language program for kids was the US' most successful deployment of a puppet in the Afghanistan region since Hamid Karzai[10]
Dearth from above
Neocon warhawks are soft and fuzzy airheads; they just grit their teeth as they speak empty euphemisms, so one thinks they must mean something by it:
- Case in point: Michael Ledeen, who has advocated "the kind of warfare that not only destroys the enemy's military forces, but also brings the enemy society to an extremely personal point of decision..."
A Few Men Good at being Bait
- See Drop weapon
"We don't want you on the wall, we get that you don't care much for the parties you don't get invited to, you don't really know much about us, let alone anything 'secret', and those in the right need not "admit" to anything"
