Few More Jerry Raids Await

Few More Jerry Raids Await

by Smitty

Track-a-'Crat and I were out to Inglourious Basterds last night. If you take it as a comic book, the movie is an entertaining vehicle. At one point, ordering a glass of milk takes on sinister overtones. If you take the movie seriously, it falls apart. The characters are paper thin and the whole plot is counter-factual.
As with Pulp Fiction, the title encapsulates the film: the spelling errors in IB are a clue as to what you're getting. Tarentino is a truth-in-labeling kind of fellow, and should be respected for that.

They told me if I voted for McCain that the state would merge with the church, and they weren't just shuffling prayer mats!

• Obi's Sister is off jury duty, and amazed out the pace of Changeeba and
  Hopium.
• Hyscience isn't buying co-ops. They're like coops with a dash of punctuation.
• Belvederus Maximus has the best roundup on the topic. As if that's surprising.

Legislation of Death

• The Daily Pundit says "Under socialized medicine, child molesters get Viagra, but granny gets her blood pressure meds pulled."
• Momma Pundette linked in a roundup of news of the 'God in Heaven' variety. Pray for peace.
• Ruby Slippers had an excellent roundup, linking the Rick Lowry post.
• Reganite Republican Resistance has a lengthy analysis of Obama's political condition.
• Carol rounds things up nicely.
• Jimmie breaks in with a primo clip from Airplane! about the left's characterization of Sarah Palin.
• The Classic Liberal picked up the Maureen Dowd riff.
• Carolyn puts it succinctly: What they don't seem to get is that they are energizing the anti-ObamaCare folks with each falsehood they put out.

Protest Photos

• Carolyn complements this blog via image theft. You can't damage our images any further, but have a go nonetheless.
• The Daley Gator had mooched the pictures first.

On the departure of the Prince of Darkness
Linked by the following:

Grand Canyon

• Grand Rants gave an Oh, Barf to the POTUS Grand Canyon pic.
• Nice Deb gave it an Enchanted Media Moment.

Here, wall: a bit o' primer

• Moe lane picked up Stacy's anti-primer crusade. One subtlety is that, with a long 'i' vowel, primer goes on the wall. With a short 'i' vowel, the word describes that which makes one prim and proper. Stand by for a smirk from me if you fumble the shibboleth in conversation.

At least it wasn't LaTreena

• Obi's Sister wants to have Stacy engage in psyops against a rival sports team. The question is, has following IG-Gate improved Stacy's unethical practices sufficiently?
• Whereas Melissa Clouthier had a light meditatio called Do names determine behavior?.
• He's got his mojo working ,says Bob Belvedere

On Geekiness

• The Fat Guy says:

  I’ve never had a Heinlein obsession, but I’ve never had an electric guitar, either. I’m not going to rattle off my manliness bona-fides. It’s unbecoming.

2996 Project
I'll be honoring a Naval Reservist present in the Navy Command Center

• Obi's Sister is a supporter.
• I see I was #76 on the list, via Comedy Plus. This is more the tragedy portion.

Readers Indigestion

• Wizwow quotes Stacy.
• Lead and Gold:

  The Reader's Digest did not need consultants. It just needed a great editor who did not have contempt for the core market.
  

Great Headlines

• Rightofcourse reached for the Lady Macbeth title.

They can't sell cars to the sane, but they can sell crap to the electorate.

• Liberal Smash wonders aloud at Cash for Clunkers.

Miscellaneous Shouts:

• Moe hat tips us for pointing out Gene Lyons' silliness
• Carol did spledid work on her Jon Voight post
• The Washington Independent links us, focusing on the periferal issue of birthers. Nicely independent touch, this majoring on the minors. Cui Bono?
• Getting quoted in The Economist earns a link Troglopundit. Yes!
• Steynian continues to scare me.
• Stacy posted at Winds of Babylon, though it seems incestuous to link ourselves this way
• Thanks for the excellent summary of recent domestic events by JSF. Well worth your time.
• WyBlog reminds us that taxes are for little people.
• Rhetorican linked us on the public option.
• Jimmie has a description on astroturfing that shall not be confused with a primer.
• Teach at Pirate's Cove linked the government cheese quip.
• Trog reminds us why we don't upset Carol.
• Jimmie liked the humor test.
• Bob Belvedere picked up the Frum-drubbing, the Color of Change, my 'racist' post about vampires (who knew he was such a fan of the undead?), the government cheese remark,
  the Spectator piece on GOP revival, a Gerson slam, and, finally, he curses me for breaking out the Circle Jerks on Peggy Noonan (which is less wierd than it sounds),

Heading down to Representative Jim Moran's office. I need to tell him what a great thing it is that the Inglourious Basterds are purely fictional. We don't ever want any of that to occur in real
life. However, he should feel free to draw a lesson from the film in any case.
Please forgive my hasty oversights and send corrections and URLs to Smitty.

Update:
Fishersville Mike had linked us here on the Phoenix protests. What ends up happening sometimes, and I think this is was the case, is that my Technorati-scraper will have a line it in that says http://fishersvillemike.blogspot.com, and I just let it fall on the floor, lacking time to figure out where we were linked in every case.
Thanks for keeping me straight, Mike.
