And ‘R’ is for…

Posted in John McCain, irrational thought, neocon crackpots at 5:13 pm by angela

Just when you thought it was safe to get out of the car when passing through South Carolina, a South Carolina state senator has stepped up to the plate, not just willing, but proud to reveal the TRUTH, regardless of what the state’s tourism bureau may be trying to deceive out-of-staters into thinking.

That they’re a bunch of redneck inbred neonazis? Hmm. Maybe he should rewrite the message if it’s not communicating the message that he really wants us to receive.

Click through and read those comments. Unbelievable.

With friends like this, McCain doesn’t need enemies.

Recession? It’s all in your head

Posted in Election 2008, John McCain in his own words, neocon crackpots at 9:39 pm by angela

Yeah, Phil Gramm had to exit the McCain campaign this week after saying perhaps a bit too explicitly that the American people are imagining the recession. But it’s not like it isn’t anything that McBush does not agree with and has not said himself. Certainly Bush has said it, too. So here’s a cute video about it from moveon.org.

Don’t forget, McCain had a one month credit card bill of $370,000. It’s hard for me to imagine that somebody who is comfortable with spending that much money can relate to ME. But each to his own…

The economic stimulus and you?

Posted in Accountability, Science, neocon crackpots at 4:36 pm by angela

Well, maybe you, maybe not you. It seems that what’s mostly up due to those economic stimulus checks is porn. Guys are hunkering down, realizing that there’s going to be a long dry spell ahead. They’re buying porn of all sorts.

Good work, George. Not that I mind, but still…

The Obama Smear Machine: an in-depth look

Posted in Accountability, Science, neocon crackpots at 7:28 am by angela

This is a very interesting article by a researcher who has studied years of smear campaigns against Obama. It’s not so much that they are well-coordinated attacks, but that so small a number of webzoids are involved in the creation and propagation of right wingnut rumors like this.

Alabama’s Nut Job Attorney General Wants To Ban Sex Toys And Sing With Dead People

Posted in Accountability, irrational thought, neocon crackpots at 10:20 pm by angela

Um…right. No, really. Nobody would believe this if they heard it was fiction. I’m having trouble getting a grasp on it, and you all know how cynical I am.

The story just goes on and on. How did this control freak asshole ever get into politics? Is it something about the Alabama mindset that caused people to vote for him, or that caused him to run for such an office in the first place?

I know people who live in Alabama, and they’re…normal, not like this fruitcake. The word “flabbergasted” comes to mind.

Yeah, and it wouldn’t hurt if we all sent him a dildo. There’s info on that in the story, too.

Googlebombing Obama?

Posted in Accountability, Techie, neocon crackpots at 2:59 pm by angela

First, of all, I’ll explain what ‘Googlebombing’ is, for those of you who have not run into the term previously. The idea is that when I link to your site, the text I use as my link—the anchor text—will be associated with you. If enough people linked to you using the same text, searching on this text might result in you being found high, even though you didn’t actually intend for that word or phrase to be a keyword.

So far it’s pretty simple. That’s how it’s supposed to work. If thousands of people read my previous post of funny political ads and link to it using the phrase “humorous political banners”, I might get enough traffic out of it to go into the biz of making and selling bumper stickers with my designs. Google would see all those links and figure that that’s what people found important on my site.

“Googlebombing” is where you use this technique to link a word or phrase that the recipient would not have wanted linked. So when hundreds of bloggers and other sites linked the anchor text “miserable failure” to George Bush’s biography on whitehouse.gov, guess who was number 1 on the search for those words. You guessed it.

Google has since modified the algorithm so if something like this comes up, something which is intended to subvert search results, they can readjust it by hand. So if you really bomb something, you’ll get found out and it will have no effect.

I hope you understand, because this is going to be on the test. For many people it’s probably a new concept.

The reason I’ve written what I’ve written so far is that there is a campaign to “googlebomb” Obama, and you need to understand what googlebombing is to see what’s really going on. The neocon crackpots (see what I did there?) at that site have put up a page they would like people to copy into their blogs and onto their websites. Go look at it and tell me what the anchor text is.

That’s right. The anchor text is “Obama”. So what you have is a bunch of links from the name Obama to various lies about him. This is the opposite of googlebombing, and it will have no effect on Obama’s ranking in any google search.

So what you have is right wingnuts who are so unclear on the concept that they’ve put together an utterly useless disinformation campaign, while congratulating themselves for being truly clever. Good work, guys. It will keep you out of real trouble.

I’m voting Republican

Posted in Accountability, Election 2008, neocon crackpots at 12:42 pm by angela

Well actually I’m just laughing at this video.

This really has touched a nerve on digg.com, where I found it. Amazing how the posters who call themselves “conservative” have no idea that every statement is based on fact. Well, maybe a little exaggeration based on appearances of corruption and impropriety, but that counts, too.

Information about all the points made in the video is contained on one of the other pages of the site. If you got all of your news from Faux New, you might have missed those stories.

‘mazing malevolent Michelle Malkin

Posted in Fashion and style, Michelle Malkin, neocon crackpots at 11:14 am by angela

I just love right wingnuts. They give us so much to laugh at. In case you missed it, Rachel Ray has had her ad for Dunkin Donuts yanked because the scarf she was wearing looks a lot like a keffiyeh, that scarf you always used to see Yassir Arafat wearing. Looking at the photo, I don’t think it is, though I think it was probably inspired by one. It’s just not bulky enough around the neck. It looks like silk rather than coarse cotton. Take it from me. I own one, and they are bulky when worn like this. Or at all, which I never wore it and can’t even remember where i put it.

Not that I would expect a single neocon blogdroid to have ever examined the real thing. Like, up close. In person. Touching it with their hands. OH, NOEZ! COOTIES!!!

The Notorious Rachel Ray and the evil Ayrab scarfIt’s much better to post from a position of ignorance. That way you don’t have to be held back by facts. You can make up the whole thing. It’s kind of like fiction, since you have complete control of the ‘facts’, since you are making them up as you go along. Well, it’s not exactly like fiction. It is fiction, pure and simple.

Fiction designed to stir up hate against all Arabs, not just millions of Palestinians who wear the scarf every day and have no idea that dumbass Americans like Malkin and commenters to her blog think they are making a political statement by doing so.

Can I get my site promoted for free by neocon crackpots if I wear my keffiyeh?

Lemme see that trackback, Mimsy!

Do you think the President should be able to pardon himself and the rest of his administration for crimes they have committed?
