108 Responses to Angry White Guys: That’s Enough
Now on The Trail
Voters Believe Romney Would Favor Rich Over Middle Class
by Taylor Marsh
Five Big Opportunities on the Economy Obama Missed
By: Jon Walker
I never fail to get a hoot out of Colbert. He is right there with Stewart pointing out the inconsistencies in both parties’ memes.
And I guess if Ann Rmoney is right about the ‘pugns’ rejection of Hispanic community being a matter of perception rather than fact, then Michael Gerson (not exactly a flaming liberal -- unless compared to Krauthammer) must need to sleep with Mitt so that he wouldn’t suffer from the same delusion the Hispanic Community labors under.
“Romney chose a different path during the primaries. In an attempt to allay conservative suspicions of his health-care record, Romney turned sharply rightward on immigration. He praised Arizona’s restrictive immigration law as a model for the country and criticized Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s support for in-state college tuition benefits for the children of undocumented workers.”
Yes, those delusional Hispanics -- buying into the Democrats’ meme about Rmoney. Anyone with a brain can see how supportive of the Hispanic community Rmoney is -- right?
So, MoJo thinks the NFL refs need more pay to get them back on the job? Hmmm. Funny how he sees the importance of this instance, but not so much for teachers, etc. The owners and players are the all in the 1%, but the owners are its upper-crust. Cheap-ass, angry guys.
On a lighter note: Mittens on the emergency landing of Queen Ann’s plane -- “When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go…you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous.”
He doesn’t know why plane windows don’t roll down? Really? Next leader of the free world? Let’s hope not.
AND WHY DON’T THEY HAVE SCREEN DOORS ON SUBMARINES!!!
- Mitt Romney (Angry White Guy)
If this country were an airplane with a fire on board, Romney’s plane plan would be to roll down the windows, only to find there are none. ((sigh)) chuckle ((sigh))
He has hired people who have been unable to successfully manage his campaign, or manage his mouth, so what exactly is this businessman’s skill-set of his?
There is a joke (sort of), that if a man leaves something in the middle of the floor and a woman trips on it, she will apologize to it. If the man walks back into the room & trips on it, he cusses at it and asks who left it there. I get the feeling that Mittens (and those in his circle, including Queen Ann) do not understand how the real world works.
He has no idea how to clean up a mess, because he has had someone clear the way for him his entire life, as well as someone to follow behind with a pooper-scooper. When confronted with anything, he is at a loss. If he were in charge and confronted with a big, steaming pile of something, we would all be in it. Heaven only knows what he would leave behind.
Maybe they don’t have bottled oxygen and those funny yellow masks on private planes. He does understand that oxygen not only feeds your lungs but also allows fires to burn doesn’t he?
Just read this interesting story from the American Spectator (posted at RCP). So here’s my question -- can you really compare a race among 3 candidates where upwards of 15% of the electorate was undecided with a race between two candidates where on a good day less than 6% are undecided?
Good morning…I have a jar of the recalled peanut butter and hubby had consumed some on Sunday…oy.
Rmoney’s tax plan…get ready for broadening the base! My favorite bitter comedian on Faux News, Charles Krauthammer, mentioned the Rmoney tax plan AND BROADENING THE BASE. And of course, CK said Congress and Rmoney would have to workout the details! Okay, a tax on the people they think pay no tax. How can any sane American vote for Rmoney? I can only think of self-loathing.
CK — a working Congress? He is kidding, I am sure!
Undecided voters are like voter fraud…pretty rare!
I could be wrong (have been before) but I think this is all about trying to convince the ‘pugn base to get out and vote despite what they are hearing the polls suggest -- that Rmoney may just have blown this election. I really don’t understand why anyone would be skeptical of Rmoney’s lack of specificity about what tax loopholes he would close -- how about this one -- the preferential tax treatment for capital gains? Or maybe the charitable donation deduction -- since he didn’t use it this year (to keep his tax rate above 13%). No, we’re pretty sure that the one he’s after is the one that benefits middle income America the most -- the home mortgage interest deduction. And really, he will lower the overall rate for middle income Americans … trust him -- if he said it it must be true, right?
Good morning all. The late night reading was interesting.
Thank you for the soup hints.
Welcome to the silver fox however brief the appearance.
mqw -- Why is it always others’ fault if you are misunderstood?
The NFL billionaire fat cat team owners are trying to increase their income at the expense of about 120 on-field officials that are at odds over salary, retirement benefits and operational issues. The net result for me is gratification of my decision last year to stop watching NFL football. When the NFL hires replacement officials that were fired for incompetents from the Lingerie Football League, I don’t want to watch NFL football.
After Seahawks game, Lingerie Football League says it fired refs now in NFL

Pereira says NFL is embellishing the credentials of replacement officials
By Mike Florio, August 7, 2012 3:50 PM EDT
Jamie..Silver Fox should change the name to Silver Salmon. Moved very fast through here and swimming upstream against the TM current.
hey silver fox… welcome to the blog… I may disagree with your sentiments… but I likes your moniker.
pit…. the officiating in the NFL has been atrocious with the replacement refs. I still watch… I watched last night’s game through halftime. I LOVES me my football… but watching is beginning to get beyond frustrating.
Hey Jamie… I’ll give you a soup recipe using a big bone. Go to a good local cafe… buy soup… give bone to a nearby dog….
PIT
great post on the refs —
I hope the silver fox (or salmon) hangs around
Today Mittens tried to show his compassionate side — talking about the Tunisian vendor who set himself on fire. Mittens said all he wanted to do was work Really Mittens, kind of like the minimum wage Staples workers who has to depend on medicaid and then listen to denigrate them and your surrogates call them parasites
I don’t see how the national polls could still be even when Mittens is behind in every category but stupid angry white men
listening to Obama at UN…free speech speech. I like it.
Obama going after Iran…
The goopers are starting to look like ankle biters around Obama a little pack of jack russells (no offense to jack russells everywhere)
I always thought Willard Rmoney looked like Clutch Cargo.
Airplanes and the Rmoneys --
KC, LOL. There must be more stupid angry white men out here than I thought.
Oh, godamighty, Clutch Cargo. I watched it every fricking day when I was in about 4th & 5th grade. I always loved the cartoons with the non-moving figures and real moving lips. Thank you BW for a trip back to my childhood.
PiT. LFL? LOL!!! Who in the world is watching the refs or give a crap about their calls?
Just in case anyone still thinks that seniors after a lifetime of paying into SS and Medicare are now just taking out without paying …Big hike on drug prices next year.
Hey BlondeW…. great clip of Clutch Cargo… he does indeed look like Rmoney…. gee… and everyone thought Gore looked stiff…
Ok… here’s my choice for today’s Christian Science Monitor cartoon…
Hiking up drug prices, huh? What we need is actual healthcare, not insurance premiums and co-pays.
http://www.doctoredthemovie.com
It sounds like Rmoney may have done himself some good when talking about foreign aid today…except that if he wants to tie it to creating jobs in the developing world, it is probably just so he can find new sources of cheap labor. Outsourcing seems to be his calling in life.
Medicare is not free -- there is a monthly premium and original medicare does not cover 100% of most things
you never stop paying
Senior advantage at Kaiser is another $86 a month plus co-pays and $200 a day for hospitalization…..there are some limits on what you pay but still…..
Romney should have worn a white suit and a pith helmet basically what he said was, “if everyone had a job they would all be like me.”
Hilarious!

Why Plane Windows Don’t Roll Down, as Romney Would Like

Nash and Craig….just stop it! (or Miss Ann is challenging you to a fight)
OMG The goops are trying to compare Obamarama to Carter.
Too bad Caroline Kennedy just brought brought out a new book (recording of her father during the Cuban missile crisis and I think more people will be comparing Obamarama to Kennedy.
Charles Pierce, Esquire…the goopers have no one to blame but themselvesThe biggest problem with Romney’s campaign is its utter incoherence, which stems from the fact that he had to romance a Republican primary electorate that is clearly demented. The root of the campaign’s fundamental dishonesty, which is what has led to its incoherence in the first place, is the fact that the Republican primary electorate forced Romney to renounce the only real achievement he has as an elected politician — the Massachusetts health-care reform. Once you find you have to lie about all the good you did, what does the rest of it really matter?

Instead, people should be comparing george the thurd to George III.
I dont know why they even bother with on field decision making referees in the NFL . Technology could easily replace almost every on field call. Most important ones are video reviewed now. The refs certainly don’t add anything to the viewing pleasure of the fan. None of them are physically capable of breaking up a fight so keeping order isn’t really in their power either.
I say use this opportunity to go all the way with video review of every play.
My younger nephew is crossing the the North Pacific on a cruise ship , he’s the ship’s librarian . Which sounds fun , but there’s a super typhoon headed for Japan , and the JTWC say’s seas around it are 45 feet, with winds of 161 mph gusting to 195 mph.
I won’t be sharing this science news with my little sister.
Well apparently the reason most people are so enraged about the NFL refs is because they gamble on the games…
the random action of the refs should add a whole new dimension to gambling
the nfl refs have come down with the scotus virus
When Sweeney, alias the Silver Fox, trolled here last evening he resurrected the chimera of socialism. It’s impossible to find evidence that Obama is more socialistic than george the thurd or george the deuce were. The real worry should be that willard is the latest figurehead of the neoconmunist conspiracy of dunces. Like george the thurd Sweeney can’t see what is clear and present, but sees things that aren’t there.
These regurglicans are paying a high price for all that glue sniffing they did in the 60s and 70s.
cbob and pogo, perhaps mitty is recalling the time of open air cockpits. envisioning himself as the dashing bescarfed pilot bravely beating back the flames from the prop with one hand and shooting down the red baron with the other.
the secret life of willard mitty
bw, if you didn’t love him so much, you could take him and the jar back for a refund.
otherwise look on the bright side: if he gets ill they’ll have to pony up the medical costs (plus maybe more to cover aggrevating his pre-existing situation) and maybe a bonus to keep you quiet about their product.
I am glad that Ann Romney is safe. We should all rejoice that people survived the fire on that plane.
Btw, flying coach is safer, but public airport facilities suck.
If Ms Romney ever got to meet people like us Trail Hands, and the other barefoot gropees in the interest of Airport Security, she might even learn to like our earthy and curiously colorful ways.
Simultaneously, we might learn to like her peculiar ways also.
My best wishes to Mr. Wino.
I hope that he doesn’t have peanut butter poisoning.
How many memes have the rethuglicans tried on Obama
birther, muslim, socialist,anti-white, angry black,apologist (and isn’t that the Republican’s favorite sport --demanding apologies) soft on some ism,and not a single on has stuck
But, nfl games are about gambling.
The gambling trade on any given Sunday is larger than the nfl income for an entire year.
nfl football is merely a gambling delivery system.
Go Vikes !
Me too
Ms Cracker, Obama is the Teflon President.
The only thing rippers have managed to stick him with is his blackness -- but Teflon IS black.
patd
Maybe our own Rebellious Renee could outfit him with a scarf of many colors in order to be dashing as he flies off into the sunset never to be heard from again.
Teflon President II -- I’m rather enjoying seeing all the republican tricks being played on them — but better.
If Obamarama is re-elected and there is better balance in Congress I hope he does use his second term to push his original agenda.
Now all the media are using poll of polls — that’s so Rasumussen still impacts their call but is isn’t as obvious
Poll of polls has Obamarama ahead of Romney 5 points in Ohio Washington Post poll has Obamarama ahead by 8
Just ran into a stranger on the street who wanted to tell me that he had been thinking about voting for Romney but after all of his mistakes, incompetence as a candidate he worries about Mitt in charge of nukes. That is scary
Tesla Supercharger expanding for refueling of electric cars.
Jamie… LOL!… yeah.. I got a scarf for him… I know how to weave with the color of money…
Jax… one of the things I love about football is that the average game is about 3 hrs… unlike a baseball game, which can seem to last forever. If they have to review every play, IMO, it would make the game about 5 hrs long… no thanks. Hey I heard that Obama actually tweeted about the refs this afternoon… saying he hoped the strike with the regular refs gets resolved soon. When even the prez weighs in… you know the situation has gone beyond silly.

One of the reason quarter horses are more popular than trotters, pacers, and dressage is that the betting cycle is faster. The nfl should learn a lesson here.

I heard on the radio while out at lunch that Scott Walker is siding with the NFL refs against the owners. If that is true, what the hell parallel universe have we entered?
Everybody in the GOP pointing fingers at everyone else … It’s Your Fault
Theme Music for the blaming:
A very short story by Herodotus:
Afterwards, in the generation which followed, Clisthenes, king of Sicyon, raised the family to still greater eminence among the Greeks than even that to which it had attained before. For this Clisthenes, who was the son of Aristonymus, the grandson of Myron, and the great-grandson of Andreas, had a daughter, called Agarista, whom he wished to marry to the best husband that he could find in the whole of Greece. At the Olympic games, therefore, having gained the prize in the chariot-race, he caused public proclamation to be made to the following effect: “Whoever among the Greeks deems himself worthy to become the son-in-law of Clisthenes, let him come, sixty days hence to Sicyon; for within a year’s time, counting from the end of the sixty days, Clisthenes will decide on the man to whom he shall contract his daughter.” So all the Greeks who were proud of their own merit or of their country flocked to Sicyon as suitors; and Clisthenes had a foot-course and a wrestling-ground made ready, to try their powers.
[Follows a list of the 13 suitors who showed up from all over Greece, Italy, and Thessaly.]
Now when they were all come, and the day appointed had arrived, Clisthenes first of all inquired of each concerning his country and his family; after which he kept them with him a year, and made trial of their manly bearing, their temper, their accomplishments, and their disposition, sometimes drawing them apart for converse, sometimes bringing them all together. Such as were still youths he took with him from time to time to the gymnasia; but the greatest trial of all was at the banquet-table. During the whole period of their stay he lived with them as I have said and further, from the first to last he entertained them sumptuously. Somehow or other the two suitors who came from Athens pleased him the best of all; and of these Hippoclides, Tisander’s son, was specially in favour, partly on account of his manly bearing, and partly also because his ancestors were of kin to the Corinthian Cypselids.
When at length the day arrived which had been fixed for the espousals, and Clisthenes had to speak out and declare his choice, he first of all made a sacrifice of a hundred oxen, and held a banquet, whereat he entertained all the suitors and the whole people of Sicyon. After the feast was ended, the suitors vied with each other in music and in speaking on a given subject. Presently, as the drinking advanced, Hippoclides, who quite dumbfoundered the rest, called aloud to the flute-player, and bade him strike up a dance; which the man did, and Hippoclides danced to it. And he fancied that he was dancing excellently well; but Clisthenes, who was observing him, began to misdoubt the whole business. Then Hippoclides, after a pause, told an attendant to bring in a table; and when it was brought, he mounted upon it and danced first of all some Laconian figures, then some Attic ones; after which he stood on his head upon the table and began to toss his legs about. Clisthenes, notwithstanding that he now loathed Hippoclides for a son-in-law, by reason of his dancing and his shamelessness, still, as he wished to avoid an outbreak, had restrained himself during the first and likewise during the second dance; when, however, he saw him tossing his legs in the air, he could no longer contain himself, but cried out, “Son of Tisander, thou has danced thy wife away!” “What does Hippoclides care?” was the other’s answer. And hence the proverb arose.
A Few Weeks Out and We Still Need Introductions to ‘Third Party’ Candidates
by Joyce Arnold
Stopping by for a quick hello, but I’m afraid I don’t have much to add to the conversation. Wish I could defend the replacement refs, but can only say most will get better with each week’s experience.
I heard Bill Poulian on ESPN today saying both sides NEED to compromise and get the NFL referees back on the field. That’s the voice of a former GM, shilling for management. Negotiators for the referees should realize they are in the driver’s seat. They are crazy if they withdraw any request their guys were serious about.
Good evening all…
I hope I don’t come off as the grammar police, but it would be a lot easier reading long comments if the paragraphs were separated with a line between them.
I noticed this all the time and have not really wanted to say anything that my offend my fellow TM’ers, however it would really help in reading the long comments.
Thank you for your time and have a great evening.

Arctic Oil Near Soviet Toxic Waste in Exxon-Rosneft Plan
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-24/arctic-oil-near-soviet-toxic-waste-in-exxon-rosneft-plan.html
If that ain’t greed I don’t know what is. We are at the so called : “Ends of the Earth”.
Trying to keep a 20th century model alive. We’re not gonna touch all that atomic junk, but we will try to drill near it , what could go wrong ?
We’ll send a submarine with screen doors in it so we can post it on U-Tube.
They’re planning to give real meaning to Russian-Sino relations.
All day long, I’ve had Leon Russell Roll Away The Stone in my head .
That’s the best rock-n’-roll song since 1960. 52 years , I say this because I was 10 , and had an ear for music.
I have story from Marfa, Texas ……..
It seems my friend Tony Greer mounted the biggest show of his life 3 weeks ago. He showed in an old church there, that has had a 6 foot neon horse shoe, in front of it for 11 years.
Dark the whole time ………
The Friday night of his show inside he got one side burning , the next day ……… He lite the other side . He didn’t buy anything to light this horse shoe , As far as the the people of Marfa are concerned , my friend Tony Greer is the “Electron Wizard from the North”.
Friend him on Facebook He’s stone cold cool, and you can see that 6 foot yellow neon horse shoe.
I told that to young school children , some of them believed me.
“They’re planning to give real meaning to Russian-Sino relations.”
Flatus,
Sounds as though they will have plenty of personal lubricant.
The best music in North America happens this week , around my garden .
Bobby Keys is coming to the Cactus to play with Joe Ely on Sat. night.
When Bobby Keys ran with Leon Russell, he was called the ” Ruby Lipped Essence of Lubbock, Texas”.
Bobby Keys played sax on every Rolling Stones album in the mid 70′s.
the ” Ruby Lipped Essence of Lubbock, Texas”.
The Dixie Chicks were going nowhere, then they hired a girl from Lubbock.
I told that to young school children , some of them believed me.
Roll away the stone
Don’t leave me here all alone.
I wasn’t bullshitting those school kids. I meant every word.
I deeply regret letting my fellow Trail Hands colleagues down. It was not my intention to contribute to keyboards or screens getting dirty.
After long and painful soul searching with the help of my clergyman Reverend Jace, I have decided to resign my seat and retire from this campaign. I hope to spend more time with my family.
Good night, and God bless America.
Lubbock is the oldest continuos human occupation in the Western Hemisphere. 11,500 years. You could always get a drink here.
Always………
In that record is 6,000 years of blow sand from the southwest. It is 8 feet thick …….. Yet people and animals still found water here. The last 24 months in New Mexico have been the driest and warmest in the modern record. There is much evidence that this record, goes back much farther. All the way to the collapse of the Chaco Culture.
People bound for the Chaco Culture out of Texas drank water at Lubbock. In 1276 after years of ever drying weather , it stopped raining in the 4 Corners. It didn’t rain again for 30 years.
That 6,000 years of drought ……… the shittiest arrow heads you’ve ever seen. Everyone was hanging on by their finger nails.
As I said last week , if history teaches one thing ………. “People do not lay down and quit”
See Syria , I rest my case.
“After long and painful soul searching with the help of my clergyman Reverend Jace, I have decided to resign my seat and retire from this campaign. I hope to spend more time with my family.”
XR,
Spending time with one’s family is a worthy and noble cause. However with a campaign in full swing every man must due his duty, you sir are no exception.
Sleep well, wake refreshed and report to work as usual. You are needed.
Dominus vobiscum
Reverend jace
“People do not lay down and quit”
This is the fault of the American Right , They believe if we can just punish our foes a little harder , they will submit.
To do this, we have to kill every man, woman, & child.
That is the lesson of history .
That is the lesson of history .
You can’t kill everyone that doesn’t believe what you want.
“People do not lay down and quit”
At the end of The Civil War , if I was president, I would have shot every slave holder that held more than 10 slaves.
Therefore we would never have heard from Jeff Sessions, or Haley Bar-bore. I think Newt’s seed would have perished as well.
But ………
This is why we alll love ” Honest Abe”.
We did not shoot every slave holder above the number of 10 slaves.
I would have shot everyone of them , for driving the country off the cliff.
Now the same thinking , is driving us towards another cliff.
If we just treat the slave holders gently , they will be kinder, and shower their kindness on us.
2,000 Chinese at Foxcom didn’t agree with this, when they were asked to make 5 million smart phones.
Apple like FaceBook is in big trouble .
Short the shit out of it .
You will get rich.
If history teaches one thing, people do not lay down and quit.
You can’t sell millions of I-phone 5′s if your factory in China is in flames.:
“If history teaches one thing, people do not lay down and quit.”
I wouldn’t recommend shorting AAPL. Facebook is an entirely different company with an entirely different business model, and apparently much worse management. Pardon the interruption.
If we just treat the slave holders gently , they will be kinder, and shower their kindness on us.
2,000 Chinese at Foxxcom didn’t agree with this, when they were asked to make 5 million smart phones..
Short Apple.
No shit Sherlock , but both are taking hits. Facebook has lost another 5% the last 2 days. And Apple will will crash if those workers in China are pressed much harder.
Ignoble exChamp -
Go buy an I-Phone “5″ in 30 days, tell me how smooth it works.
If you believe those 2,000 Foxxcom workers are happy , I got a condo in Damascus I want to sell you.
Well, that’s incredibly irresponsible investment advice based on an extremely simplistic analysis of market factors, but I will concede that I should have known better than to refute it. That is all.
