“We are dealing with people who think they should rebel until they get their little kingdom like Satan did. You know what? Thanks, Mr. President, but I think we’re going to keep the Internet the way it is right now. You know — or at least until people who are worshipping Satan, you know, aren’t in office.”
So said Glenn Beck last week, in a discussion of “net neutrality”. Charles Johnson writes “Once you’ve exhausted the Hitler analogies, this is all that remains.”
I’ve wondered in the past if all the Nazi comparisons are just the secular equivalent of yelling “This is the work of Satan!” (Or “She’s a Witch!”) I guess since Beck realized he’s not secular, he could go ahead and use it.
BTW, if the Devil thing doesn’t stick, I have three words for you, Beck: Great Old Ones.
This is bizarre. He claims to have been doing this for 70 years.
I assume that it’s some sort of hoax, though it’s hard to see how he’s pulling it off.
On the other hand, if it isn’t a hoax and everyone learned how to do it, the decrease in demand for food would probably cripple the economy, so I figure the Indian government will probably hush it all up,send the guy somewhere secret, and hide all the relevant studies in a giant warehouse; like at the end of the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.
“The X-37B might lack a flashy name, a made-for-the-movies mission and public hoopla, but this space plane’s low profile might be just the thing that helps it beat the long odds and become a success.”
Actually, “X-37B” sounds exactly like the sort of name that Secret Projects have in science fiction. Perhaps it will be our first line of defense against The Reapers.
Many years ago, I got a recording of The Pirates of Penzance on Easter. I listened to the whole thing that day, and ever since, I have found that Easter always makes me think of that operetta, and the operetta always makes me think of Easter.
Yeah, I suppose that is pretty weird. Anyway, for your enjoyment, here’s a video I found of the opening song:
I’ve made a few LEGO animations myself, and I know that it takes a long time to animate even 30 seconds. This must’ve taken quite awhile to make.
P.S. Incidentally, the name of this blog comes from the description of the scene for Act II of The Pirates of Penzance.
Following Biden’s remarks on the health care bill, President Obama reportedly decided that enough was enough, and that the time had come to replace the Vice-President with someone with more gravitas. Dick Cheney came readily to mind as the leading candidate.
Most political observers deemed the move “brilliant”, saying the combination would produce a super-popular team that would unite a divided country.
