It is no secret that right-wing authoritarians among us love that big ole’ hunk of bare-chested Russian stud, Vladimir Putin. They like his style of decisive, military incursions of other countries because he is a “decider,” just like their fav, George W. Bush, for whom they achingly long with mist in their eyes.

Weirdly, Putin seems to have tanked the Russian economy. This is something no one could have predicted, given the awesome economic explosion unnecessary conflict usually brings.

Putin, of course, is defiant, resolutely refusing to believe naysayers looking at "facts." Where have we seen that before?

Given the choice between the calm, thoughtful strategizing of a consummate professional and a shoot-em-up cowboy, wingers will pick the cowboy every single time, and everyone knows right-wingers are good for the economy. Yeehaw!

Christianity Today's Take on Israel and Islam

I realized today that no dKosopedia entry for Michael Scanlon quotes existed, so I made sure to go over there and add the one where he calls the conservative Christian base "wackos". You remember, this one: "Simply put, we want to bring out the wackos to vote against something and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them. The wackos get their information form [sic] the Christian right, Christian radio, mail, the internet, and telephone trees."

Anyway, that got me to thinking, "Maybe I should try to write some letters to the editors of Christian publications to give them the heads-up on being used cynically by the right wing." So, I looked up "Christian magazine" on Google and got a bunch of links. I skipped the progressive ones.

I came across an article called, "The Middle East's Death Wish--and Ours".

New research has shown that overconfidence is associated with lower performance in war games. This suggests that cocky people (everyone in the Bush administration) are bad military leaders.

Not all of the WaPo is going to crap today. Its review of Al Gore's new movie, An Inconvenient Truth, is scathing...

Why is this a good thing? The article is actually very positive about the movie.

I've been in a few flame wars in my short time here. I've sworn, called names and been accused of being a scum bag. I've spent all night long arguing with people because, after all, the misunderstandings and disagreements are important enough to ruin the entire next day of my life.

You people are all a bunch of douches.

Am I being sarcastic? People can only tell about fifty percent of the time. It is very likely that some of the only people reading this diary stopped immediately after reading the word "douches". Read More

I am absolutely amazed that this has not made it into any recent diaries, yet.

Two UK soldiers were broken out of captivity in a police station in Basra by British military forces. Some may have a problem with the fact that this is a violation of Iraq's supposed (but bullshit) sovereignty.

But it gets weirder...

The two men were apparently part of the British SAS/SRR (ie. secret military operatives) and were dressed as members of the Sadr militia, the Mehdi Army. They were driving around in Basra in a civilian vehicle and apparently caught the attention of Iraqi police, leading to a shootout... Read More

People have said that this is a typically male online community. They have also said that this is a typically white community. I have no idea how people can tell, so I thought that I would take some polls. This first one is on sex/gender.

Certainly, this has been done before in some capacity. Still, I am curious, and I could not find any previous diary on the subject.

In light of whatever comes out in the poll results, why do you think the site attracts these particular members?

I present to you an entirely useless yet fun activity to spice up an otherwise depressing political blogging experience. It won't impeach the president, but what the hell...

A lot of people on the right have been draping themselves and their goddamn policies in Old Glory in an effort cover themselves and their glaringly ridiculous ignorance and malevolence. And spite. And small penises. And...

Anyway, I've decided that it's time for a new take on an old tradition. I will call it... "Capture the American Flag!"

For my first capture, behold Powerline. Yes, those fucktards over at Powerline have an animated American Flag gif on their blog. It looks like shit and is an embarrassment to our country as you can see here:

Anyway, that's how you play the game. You rescue the lame-ass excuses for patriotic banners on right-wing sites by copying and posting them on your thoroughly left-wing blog, thus saving the Red, White, and Blue from wingnut humiliation.

Also, to those Powerline fuckers: The flag is ours, now. Eat it, bitches.

The battle for the media is, for now, over. Republicans won. Their next target is the classroom. If we lose this, we've lost everything.

This is today's article from a "Politically Incorrect 'European' Professor" at FrontPageMag.com.

It is, of course a generic article, written by Professor Anonomous who is from an unnamed European country and is a conservative working at a yet-again-unnamed "elite Liberal Arts College". In short, it's bullshit.

People, public universities are paid for with public, state funds. These people can, in effect, either make our universities give right-wing, bullshit "theories" equal time or simply cut school funding. Either way, it is a disaster for free-thinking liberals with an aversion to horse shit.

They are trying to gain a footings in schools to indoctrinate our children by claiming that universities are biased. Remember what happened when Limbaugh and those other fuckers said that about the media. Classic fascism strikes again.

To sum up: screw the fight for the MSM. Welcome to the new battlefield.

Instadumbass is fucking batshit crazy.

Here is his latest quote: I think that's right. I feel somewhat that way about capital punishment. I'm utterly unpersuaded by the argument that there is something uniquely immoral about state-sanctioned killing. (At its core, the nation-state is all about killing; everything else is window-dressing).

Fucking "window dressing"?!?! Why do people listen to this freak? Is he kidding? Did I miss the joke?

In response to Jerome's diary about peaking world oil production and the cost increases inherent in declining supplies, I thought I would talk about what all of this means. The simple explanation of what is really going on is that "cheap" oil is disappearing. We still have an enormous variety of other sources of oil (read about them on Wikipedia); they are, though, only cost-competitive at higher per-barrel prices. This presents new challenges and new options. Read More

Gannon: Family threats?

This is just a question about Gannon's claims that his family was harrassed or threatened by people investigating him. He said that he refered the matter to police and was talking to lawyers about legal action.

My question: Is there any way to find out if any of this has a grain of truth? Was his family's phone number even available in any of the web sites that you guys found?

All of this seems like total bullshit, but I wanted to know what the sleuths had to say. It would be nice if someone refuted his claims. The Kos community and liberals in general are being, I think, slandered in those claims more than in his other ridiculous lies, so the truth about this is important to know and make known.

The problem is that any proof that I can think of is not likely to be as public as this guy's "websites". Any ideas?
