Today we start with a couple of news items involving strip searches or facsimilies thereof:
Strip Search Finds Crack Between Buttocks I thought that was pretty common.
Man angered by TSA “enhanced search” when his pants drop in front of crowd
We now move on to teh ghey:
Woman plays baseball with her live-in partner and some dude.
Iowa City Police say a woman who walked in on her live-in partner having sex with a man hit him repeatedly with a baseball bat in an effort get him to leave the residence.
Teh ghey is in a tizzy over an iPhone app.
Lastly, don’t mess with a man’s Beefy Crunch Burrito.
Now we know the truth about why the President took his family and went to Brazil.

Switching servers. Yeah, right.
I’ve seen those black Suburbans and helicopters over at your place.
Last minute entry. Just talked with my son who lived in Libya. He says the bombing and what we’re doing is a good thing. He had to go for a bit and is going to call back on a secured line and will give me more information that should be interesting and I will, in my magnamonous way, share with… Read more »
Free hat!
Free Willy! Free James Brown! Free lunch! Oh… no such thing. Never mind.
Free the ducks!
#113;
I totally agree. 😉
And why would someone want to wage a War on Ducks anyway? That just makes no sense whatsoever.
Is this the right place for in depth discussions of ducks?
🙂
To paraphrase the Big Guy (no, not Quentin Tarantino):
And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the MODERATOR, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
I reckon I’d better watch my step. It looks like I’m on double secret probation.
Last warning – end all circuitous discussions on the WoD tonight or I will unsheath Benzion’s Sword of Righteousness (which he has kindly loaned me) and fleece any comment that continues this nonsense. That goes doubly for anyone who attempts to “moderate the moderator”. I’m not in the mood tonight.
As far as most of us are concerned, the government steals far more money from many more places that are far less important than waging war on drugs. We cvan only hope that we get to the point where we can seriously look at how to change the WoD to be more efficient, but right now the ill effects of… Read more »
#112, #68 & #107 NPR can get it’s funding from other sources. I’m merely pointing out, as a comparison, that the government steals far more money from citizens, and offers little return on that investment in their war on the plant. Both should be eliminated from sucking on the government teat. #111 FA, you are making the mistake that the… Read more »
My web hosting company will be moving my server tonight from 9 pm until around 5 am tomorrow. There will be some down time during this period and it has nothing to do with Bobo’s cognitive dissonance.
#110 Bob
Really? I don’t recall that you have ever persuaded anyone here to agree with you about anything.
#110 Bob: Any answer to my extremely direct and non vague question yet? See my #68 and 107; and WoD does not have any part of the answer; neither does Cindy and Tracy.
Bob: I think the WoD is stupid. If I thought that the people I’m privileged to interact with here were stupid, I wouldn’t waste my time doing it. Fine. I think that deliberately ingesting or injecting something that has the sole purpose of causing your brain to not function is out there way past stupid. As far as it being… Read more »
#108 I think the WoD is stupid. If I thought that the people I’m privileged to interact with here were stupid, I wouldn’t waste my time doing it.
Cognitive dissonance is not an insult. It is an aspect of the way our minds work that is present in everyone, and is frequently helpful, but sometimes not.
#106 We are crystal clear. I respect your authoritah to the degree that it is deserving of respect. Tone both of them down or I’ll simply delete your ass, end of discussion. Are we clear? Lame. My rational proposition has always been, and still remains, that there are better and more effective drug policies than the ones we are wasting… Read more »
Bob, You might want to think about something else while you’re in the mood: You persist in using words like cognitive dissonance, and stupid to describe those who disagree with you. At the same time you support (and apparently practice, at least occasionally) the use of substances whose sole value is causing your brain to not function correctly. You should… Read more »
#104 Bobo: HELL NO IT DOES NOT! I am real sure that I have NEVER ADVOCATED IN FAVOR OF THE WAR ON A PLANT. The question I asked DEALT WITH NPR, Corp for Public Broadcasting (which is not the same as NPR, but it does transfer funds to NPR) NEA, NIH, etc. The big argument is why should I have… Read more »
Here’s the deal, Bobo. If you had a rational proposition to begin with maybe you would get a rational argument. You routinely ignore all rational arguments and think that somehow repeating the same crap ad nauseum proves you correct. You’re a pompous and elitist cultural Marxist not interested in any rational discussion without your opponents first agreeing to your libertine… Read more »
Hey guys. I lost the war on fire ants and crab grass last year. That means I can let my lawn turn into a pest infested patch of weeds. Thanks Bob! I also notice we’ lost the war on burgulary the other day here in Richmond. I gjuess we can save a few million dollars if we concentrate on bank… Read more »
#101 Bones, perhaps we are in vigorous agreement. Cuting NPR spending will save $65 Million, ending the stupid 40 year long war on a plant will save $50 Billion.
Is spending $50B a year on a “war” that is lost “necessary spending?” Is it beneficial?
Does that answer your question?
In fairness, politicians do have a tough job. To get elected, they have to convince you that they believe the same things you do. After they get elected, they have to convince you that you don’t really believe the things you do, that you really didn’t vote for the things you said you did, and they can fix all that… Read more »
#97 You are the recipient of the Most Rational and Reasonable Response award of the day. Don Pardo, please tell FA what he’s won…. Don? Are you there, Don? Oh never mind, Don. The entire country spent $65M on NPR last year. The city of New York alone spent at least $75M busting citizens for possessing a stupid plant. I… Read more »
HEY BOB: You still have not answered my #68, which I will repeat whilst I defer to your lack of short term memory: To use my tax dollars to promote a viewpoint with which I strongly disagree VIOLATES MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS! I am not saying that I want such viewpoints banned, I just don’t want to be extorted to… Read more »
#98 hammie
hater
Politicians will respond. You just have to yell at them loud enough, long enough. And even if they call you liars, nutcases, use despicable tactics, are ill informed, trouble makers with a bad tone that cheapens the debate, responding to well financed pressure groups with thier own agenda, ignent peasants who just don’t get it, or any of that crap… Read more »
Other possibilities that may explain those folks:
Bob: Maybe this will answer your question (but you won’t like it): Most people don’t want the Government to pay for NPR/PBS, et al. Therefore politicians, being (in many cases reluctantly) responsive to the will of the people are responding by de-funding said programs. Most people WANT the Government to continue to fight the plague of illegal drugs and the… Read more »
People who say that folks who go through thier lives getting loaded at every opportunity that presents itself don’t leave victims in thier wake are in deep states of denial.
Can you say “victim-less crime?”
Sure you can.Cognitive dissonance routinely rules the right.
Apparently, Jamie Gorelick is in the running for FBI director. I used to think there’s no way Obama can be as much of an idiot as he appears to be. Maybe I’m wrong.
No, that actually makes more sense than the ramblings from Boboworld.
I thought it was illogical to work toward a decrease in burglaries because people are always gonna burgle, so why should we try to stop them?
But Bobby. I do beleive you’re right that the Establishment Republicans are trying to mollify us Conservatives with a few “gimmes” that they think will satisfy us. We’ll take ’em. And we’ll still want more. And that will pizz them off no freakin end. And we will laugh and laugh and laugh about it as we push thier feet closer… Read more »
Other examples from the Wonderful World of Bobo Logic:
It’s illogical and duplicitous to work towards a decrease in murder rates because there are so many more burglaries.
Do the math. Tell me exactly how much is spent on NPR vs. the professional politicians precious war on a stupid plant? Why, I do beleive its at least $64 million. I don’t care how much money we spend on other programs, that’s a lot of money and it shouldn’t be spent. Now, lets go find 100 programs like that.… Read more »
Strawmanous, I never suggested an “inextricable” relationship. Play the tape back for ’em, Joe. I can get a buzz anytime I want one, from any substance I choose, and the $50 BILLION per year we continue to waste on the social conservative’s “feel good” laws that stop nobody from doing so, creates a lucrative tax free black market for thugs,… Read more »
Lacy lilting ladies losing love lamenting.
#82/83 Wulp, I have to say that those are the “best” arguments I’ve seen today. And they’re very consistent as well–In terms of irrationality, non-substantiation, and non-logical thinking. 🙂
#83 Pyro
D’oh!
Mebbe a b etter question is:
What can’t be inexctricably tied to theWoD?
It seems to come around even when discussing underwater basket weaving.
#75 hammie
Bob’s brain:
Coincidentally, scientific experiments show that 43 nanoseconds appears to be the half-life of a Bobo brain cell.
Face it NPR can’t survive on its own because it does not have a message that sells to the mainstream. Cut it off and let it wither.
You’ve got to be on drugs to be able to tolerate it longer than 43 nanoseconds.
I like the right-and-wrong view of it. It is WRONG for tax-payer money to be spent on liberal propaganda media.
