The very existence of this film.

Can we not steal the master print and neg or something?

What’s the big problem?

I asked the same thing during Katrina:

Why do you people live below sea level?

Some people will compare this reporter’s question to the chick at the Daily Show joking that God sent the tornado to kill conservatives.

Two very different things.

(Also, who cares? SDA makes California-liberal-earthquake jokes all the time — and I’ll bet the folks at Breitbart do too, albeit using their “inside voices.”)

You’re 21st century Americans, not African or Haitians.

Surely you don’t have to keep living in a flood or earthquake zone or in “hurricane alley.”

The urban legends surrounding Disney are legion.

This one sounds like crap to me, too, but the reason it is gaining traction is that is sounds SO MUCH like something a rich mom would actually do, and, as I keep saying, we have to address the “compassion creep” growing around the “disabled are getting too much special treatment” meme.

Reveries:

The look of Lance was, of course, all about Lycra, pointy helmets and brightly colored jerseys – a “team kit” as its called. But since “Armstrong has admitted using performance enhancing drugs … looking like him maybe isn’t so cool.”

“People just want to ride bikes without looking like a mamil,” ways Mia Kohout of Momentum, a biking magazine, using a pejorative term for a “middle-aged man in Lycra.”

(This process has actually been underway since at least the 90s, with the rediscovery of Bettie Page and the imagery of some Madonna videos to name just two things, but whatever…)

Call it the “straight-ing” of BDSM, because as Paglia notes:

Weiss surveys the gradual transformation of BDSM from the “more outlaw” era of gay leathermen in Folsom Street bars of the pre-AIDS era to today’s largely heterosexual scene in affluent Silicon Valley, where high-tech workers congregate at private parties or convivial “munches” at chain restaurants with convenient parking lots.  (…)

Home Depot is sometimes dubbed “Home Dungeon” for its tempting offerings, such as rope, eye bolts, and wooden paint stirrers, which we are told make “great, stingy paddles.” The thrifty take note: Rattan to make canes can be cheaply purchased in bulk at garden-supply stores.

If you’ve ever made the mistake of watching the Canadian TV show, Kink, you know how true the following is.

Even the male “doms” on that program look like puny beta fags; they’re about as menacing as Don Knotts.

I thought this might be semi-self-selecting — that the only kinky people they could get to agree to go on TV all happened to look like belugas, but apparently not:

Newmahr captures how her subjects, even before they entered SM, viewed themselves as “outsiders” who lived “on the fringe of social acceptance.” Most are overweight, but it’s never remarked on. Several women are over six feet tall, generally a social disadvantage elsewhere. (…)

Any other questions?

Comments should be relatively “Joooo!!!” free!

Confronted by such criticisms, Karber’s now mumbling that standard-issue, dog-ate-my-homework leftist alibi, the one about “raising awareness,” in this case “of the problem of homelessness.”

Guess what? I’m “aware” of the homeless every time I venture downtown.

And by the way: How come I can still see them? Ever since the “homeless” were invented by a terminally damaged, megalomaniac narcissist in the 1980s, we’ve plowed hundreds of millions of dollars into “helping” them, and yet there they still are, stinking up the joint (possibly because the “homelessness-poverty complex” is a thriving industry that keeps other lunatics off the street).

He’s back!

Once an influential figure, he died two months ago and nobody noticed:

The idea was “consensual adultery”,’ explains Gay Talese, a celebrated New York writer and ‘participating observer’ at the retreat, whose bestselling 1980 book about the sexual revolution, Thy Neighbour’s Wife, put Sandstone on the map for many Americans.

‘The theory is that if both parties know what the other is doing, or thinking of doing, it can be understood and perhaps condoned without it being a cause of divorce. They were re-defining “‘sin”’.’

When I tracked down Barbara Williamson this week, now 74 and running a wildlife sanctuary in Nevada, she told me they had personal motives, too — though many would regard them as utterly misguided.

Their quest for this perverse Utopia started in 1968 when — inspired by Atlas Shrugged, the libertarian thinker Ayn Rand’s novel about industrialists who drop out of an oppressive society — Williamson gave up his electronics firm and his wife threw in her insurance sales job.

The best one-stop summary of what’s wrong with the Millennials.

However, it leaves out a) the rampant beta-male faggotry and b) their related obsession with “racism” and “sexism” while living in the least “racist” and “sexist” time and place in history, and the way this manifests itself: in puny expressions of petty outrage towards safe targets, all of which serve as a convenient but fairly convincing substitute for demanding, risk-taking action and thought.

Walid Shoebat:

Hardly. The Muslims who take this position take it by claiming that only the Khalifa or the Mahdi can establish these.

By switching Muhammad from “Islamist” to “Muslim, Pipes must then answer a crucial question: is Islam defined by its founder or by Mr. Pipes? Muhammad defined Islam as “Al-Islamu deen wa dawla” (“Islam is a religion and a state”). Pipes then must remove the “and” to substantiate his false case.

Then Pipes makes even more blunders…
