NEW VOICE COLUMN UP...

...about the miserable time rightbloggers had on the Fourth of July. With Obama destroying freedom and all, their hot dogs tasted of wormwood. Well, there's always the next Chick-fil-A event.

Among the outtakes was an "In-De-Pants Day" special offered by some guy on his cartoon book OBAMA SUTRA - An Illustrated Guide to 57 States of Ecstasy! which he says is "perfect for leaving out on your coffee table, or slipping into the bookcase of your least favorite liberal." You've missed the special, alas, but the book's cheap and the author has samples at his website. This is our favorite:


It's a little young for the Alan Scherstuhl treatment but I hope he'll put it in his to-do file.

    "Why should Americans, whose military and moral strength and resolve
    salvaged and saved the post-World War II world from easy communist
    takeover, have to mutter at uneasy social gatherings whether or not
    we're being led into the same communism we saved the world from

    "Today we have a government that alone decides how much wealth we can retain."

    Whereas, under Reagan, marginal tax rates were set by natural law rather than by government legislation.

    This is one example of right-wing irrationality which always gets to me. Again and again there's the implicit assumption -- never stated, never defended -- that a top rate of 35% is capitalism and freedom, a top rate of 39% is socialism and dictatorship. So under Eisenhower, when it was up over 90%, we were actually all working the Khmer Rouge killing fields and never even noticed. Why didn't John Wayne or Jimmy Stewart do something about it?

    While the by-now-hardly-unusual whining about Obama being a Communist Muslim Terraist is not at all surprising, it occurs to me that this repeated onslaught against yet another center-right Democrat is probably going to make a genuine left-of-center candidacy impossible for a long time. That this also pushes the media narrative ever rightward, too, goes without saying.

    That aside, the WSJ burbling about the very benificent Augusto Pinochet simply cannot stand without comment. There's so much wrong with that, it hardly bears consideration, except to say that ever since 1973, the capitalists have been trying--mostly unsucessfully--to rewrite the history of Chile.

    The "transition to democracy" part is, of course, the most egregrious and the biggest distortion. Allende was elected by popular vote, even though it was close, while Pinochet abrogated Chilean democracy by means of military coup. More importantly, Chile had some form of democracy (although with long periods of autocratic presidents and a parliament focused on the needs of the wealthy) since its independence from Spain
    in 1810.

    Not to mention that the free-marketeer Chicago boys surrounding Pinochet essentially did what the Chicago boys do--larded up the government with debt, diverted government funds to their own commercial interests, privatized the public pension system for their own enrichment, which ended up impoverishing it, and generally wrecked the country. The Chicago Boys did, however, achieve their true goal--making themselves and the rich much, much richer. That it was done via torture and political imprisonment only makes its utility as an economic model ever more suspect.

    As wigged out as most of the wingnut commentariat seems most of the time--One Citizen Speaking and Dave Hodges being sterling examples of the breed--they've got nothing on the WSJ editorial board. That bunch is stone-cold barking mad.

    Also worth noting: Pretty sure we did that post-war saving via recorded history's biggest stimulus package. Not rivaled, as far as I know, till Obama's stimulus package in 2009, which was about the same size as a percent of GDP but had the benefit of being all spent domestically, not mailed away to a bunch of Nazi collaborators in France and actual Nazis in West Germany. You'd think anyone who could see the wisdom of propping up people we'd just beat in a war would would also see the wisdom of propping up the US, but as I recall, muttering wingnuts did not have a lot of nice things to say about Obama in 2009. Oh, and also worth noting? The Marshall Plan that saved the world from Communist takeover was also the first step toward creating the EU, which I'll bet is no wingnut's idea of how the world should look. Other moving parts in the whole "save the world" machine included founding the UN, and the policy of containment of enemies -- even enemies with thousands of nukes -- instead of invading everyone and going into a rage blackout at the very idea that some sad backwater like Iran might build a bomb. But look at me, so silly, expecting people to consider facts and be consistent.

    I mean, I certainly have my own beefs with the Obama administration, but "more arrogant, less competent?" Maybe you should put down your history books from 1967 and bring yourself up to speed on 2001-2008, Barry. "More leftward-lunging"? If I may quote atheist from our own commentariat, "Oh, if only." Or perhaps your subtle-turn of phrase is meant to illustrate that there have been a couple of ways in which President Obama has managed to pull us back from the brink of reactionary theocratic fascism by "leftward-lunging" a little closer to the sane centrist region of the spectrum. "More frightening"? Well, he is black, so I'll have to give you that one, Barry.

    Well, the arguments that self-publishers would use (not just for cartoon books, but self-published books of all kinds) is that they'd paid taxes (theoretically) and therefore we had to shelve their book, if not promote it; that it was a neighborhood branch and they were from the neighborhood; or that it was actually the law that we had to have a copy of their book (the latter, I suspected, was confusing our branch with the Library of Congress).


    In fact, I was usually kind of flattered that they held the public library in such regard that they really wanted us to have their book, and made sure to tell them that, but that also we had limited shelf space, etc. In one particular case, after flipping through the book, I told them bluntly that we couldn't support plagiarism, since they'd stolen gags from The Far Side and National Lampoon's "Buy this magazine or we'll shoot this dog" cover. (Yes, they actually ripped that off, and the would-be cartoonist had the stones to insist that they had no idea that someone had already done the gag.)

    Haven't you heard? Sam Adams is now officially persona non grata, at least in some of the more patriotic quarters of this here land of ours. (Since none of the big three brewers regularly invoke Gawd in their commercials, I have to assume this is brand warfare psyops ordered by Roger Ailes, who undoubtedly has stock in Coors. The fascists that stay together, play together.)

    Oh, I kinda doubt that Bongino (why does that name remind me of Topo Gigio giggling maniacally?) gets any first chances to say that to liberals. Not if they see him coming, anyway.

    Sort of like fundamentalist Christianity--introduce just the tiniest bit of doubt, and they are sure the entire edifice is in danger of toppling over.

  111. Because the guy who started this particular internet meme was found dead in two of them:


    OCTOBER 8--An Alabama minister who died in June of "accidental mechanical asphyxia" was found hogtied and wearing two complete wet suits, including a face mask, diving gloves and slippers, rubberized underwear, and a head mask, according to an autopsy report.

    Investigators determined that Rev. Gary Aldridge's death was not caused by foul play and that the 51-year-old pastor of Montgomery's Thorington Road Baptist Church was alone in his home at the time he died(while apparently in the midst of some autoerotic undertaking).

  128. Sam Adams is now officially persona non grata

    Well, given that he was a revolutionary who was willing to actually put his life on the line for liberty, instead of just standing around in a tricorner hat pissing and moaning about lazy blackamoors obtaining free government mail-franking privileges, I'm surprised he was ever grata.

    ... Oh, rightt, the beer. Sorry, I always get tripped up by that. The same thing happens with noted Upstate New York suffragette Genny Light.

    Even more than that, the idea that Pinochet was a "temporary" dictator is often suggested. The democracy he supposedly "midwifed" was in fact created despite him; the country wracked by protest, the army advised him to step down, lest he face the Allende option himself. The fucker reluctantly agreed, making sure he couldn't be prosecuted for his crimes.

    In the first Star Trek movie, Spock is about to join a monastic sect on Vulcan (spoiler: he doesn't) that strives to achieve a state of pure logic and zero emotion. Jonah must have joined a cult that achieves pure superfluousness and zero self-awareness. When told that he'd shat his pants, he'd reply, "What pants?"
