Okay, all I'm here to say is, thanks for the support--the Hitler cake with my face on it is fantastic, thank you. But you're going to have to keep yourselves a bit quiet in the fall, you hear what I'm saying? Armbands in the drawer, hands in the pockets, no goosestepping at my rallies... Hey, is that a camera?
My favorite part of the picture is the kitchy "Happy Birthday" banner in front of the podium. They obviously need a magician or a fuzzy mascot to make the party complete.
I am in New York this week and had a few minutes to step into the edge of Central Park and listen to some jazz music. A man sat next to me at the next table (I was near the Columbus Circle entrance so you may be able to place where these tables are) The best way to describe him physically is that he has a physical build similar to Danny Devito (maybe a little heavier than Devito) So you get the picture, a short bald guy. But his presence was much more DeNiro than Devito.
So for some reason I begin thinking to myself, I wonder what this guy's story is, married, what kind of women does he date, if any, etc.
His cell phone rings. Someone is clearly in the park trying to find him. He gives directions and then gets up and walks behind me. The suspense is killing me, I turn a bit to see who he is meeting. It's a woman, she's 6' 3". He kisses her, she sort of bent down, but they both seemed comfortable and glad to see each. There was no akwardness in this scene because of ther differnce iin size. Now here's the thing, she is not only tall, but heavy and I'm not talking a few pounds. I'm talking at least a hundred pounds and she seemed solid not flabby.
So, I tell you, Megan, you have not lived until you have seen a Danny Devito size man together with a tall, super heavy, muscle bound woman.
Now when they sat down they were both looking at each other and smiling at each other. They appeared comfortable enough with each other that it clearly wasn't a first date, but they were too lovey dovey for this affair to be going on for more than a couple of months.
I'm thinking too myself, I wonder what their friends and familes think about this relationship, and that it can't be much different from what I'm thinking. I'm watching them and they are oblivious to me and the rest of the world and appear much happier than most people I know (including myself). So its more power to them and I only hope that soon I find some that can gives me the happiness and joy that these two were obviuosly sharing.
I don't think this was a serious candidate for Congress. I mean, look at the stuff on his site:
I'm considering discussing divorce aids and my plans for a "Derrenger's for Dildos" policy to put guns in American women's hands instead of divorce aids. Presently, when a criminal is arrested for a weapons crime, the prosecutors seek orders to destroy those weapons. What a waste! Put our criminal prisoners to work modifying those guns to be smart-guns that can only be fired when the female owner is holding it so that children don't hurt themselves and so that criminals can't use them (unless they use the woman's hand). When a women turns in her stash of divorce aids, then give her a free gun to defend America when the jihadists follow us home.
Yeah, that paragraph is a beautiful piece of logical reasoning. Here's another of my favorites, demonstrating his clear understanding of cause and effect (links snipped for clarity):
For example, Emperor Augustus ended about 50 years of civil war by outlawing adultery and by giving tax credits to married citizens who had children. Conversely, Augustine of Hippo declared that prostitution was a "necessary evil" around 400 A.D., and the barbarians conquered Rome and the dark ages ensued. Aquinas c. 1225-1274 A.D. opposed it but proposed limiting legislation against it, and the dark ages continued.
You know, I actually find this sort of reassuring. The guy's a fracking moron, but I'm relieved when evil people are morons, because it's the clever ones who are scary.
The list of websites he found on his (very new media!) Google search are hilarious: kkk.bz, jewwatch, davidduke.com, and those are just the ones that are totally obvious from the website names. Wow, dude, you're right, you found "evidence"!! Next he'll use Google to prove that aliens built the pyramids and the moon has secretly been replaced by a Bush administration Death Star.
What is most scary is that I have not heard any great hue and cry of Republicans running away from him the way Hillary Rodham Obama and Barack Hussein Clinton do when _their_ disgusting friends get uncovered.
Pardon me. I must be in the wrong universe. I thought it was this one where the Dems colectively (how else) disavow, airbrushed, explained, and in general, reacted like roaches to bright light.
I have only seen one or two blogs mention this creep, and for the most part make light of it.
Uh, Larry, I can assure you that a majority of Americans cannot identify even a dozen serving congressmen by name off the top of their heads, let alone what kind of nitwit might be attempting a first-time run for office in the monumentally significant state of Indiana. Especially if no sex was involved.
Wake us up if and when he is actually at risk of carrying an election. Until then, he's Indiana's problem, and they presumably know how to deal with his type.
You know, Indiana, you might want to live down your history of having elected a Klansman serial rapist as governor.
"When asked if he was a Nazi or sympathized with Nazis or white supremacists, Zirkle replied he didn't know enough about the group to either favor it or oppose it."
Ok, he knows enough about al-Qaida to oppose it but not enough about the Nazis? Has he not watched any American war films? Did he not go to school?
what kind of nitwit might be attempting a first-time run for office in the monumentally significant state of Indiana.
Nope. Not a first-timer. This guy ran against the incumbent in the 2006 primary and got 30% of the vote. (The incumbent, Count Chocula, lost in the general.)
For the love of all that is unholy, would you please not use the feedburner crap? if you can't link to the actual site, don't bother putting a link up at all.
I went to the Naval Academy with this guy. We were both part of the upper-class cadre that trained the Plebes during Plebe Summer. He was a (rising junior) squad leader in my company.
He was VERY odd. One day, he had a nervous breakdown and "disappeared" for a while. We had to scramble to cover his responsibilities during his little hiatus. Very odd...
This would be about par for the course for him.
(Note that he did NOT graduate from USNA - at least he is honest enough to admit it on his website.)
Yes, it's an act of outstanding political stupidity for a politician
to associate with such people.
It does seem important, somehow, to point out that these are not
really nazis. These are people that are into self-identifying
as "evil" people. Real nazis weren't. Yes, they wear some
of the paraphenalia. Yes, like the nazis, they are outrageous racists.
But. Are they popular on college campuses?
In fact, do they practically run the universities?
Is everyone under 30 voting for them?
Are all the "cool" people voting for them?
Are they "for" every progressive cause under the sun, including being
the party of "peace"?
Damn! Not even with newsletters?
Damn! Not even with newsletters?
His views on marital aids are also worth a perusal. Three words: "Derringers for dildos."

That is totally absurd. But hey, Indiana, Republicans, what do you expect? LOL

Maybe it was a fund-raiser, so he expected it to be off the record.
I'm not sure I understand the criticism. He seems just about stupid enough to shine in Congress.

I hate Illinois Nazis.

Sorry for another quick post, I can't resist. The guy's a genius. From his campaign website:
Glad to see he's making headway on that last one.
AWWWWW Jake beat me to it.
Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.

The comments elsewhere on this event are depressing. A lot like - but much more extreme - Larry Sheldon's above which is factually untrue.
"factually untrue"
Really?

Cranston - He certainly is a genius. He doesn't actually say if he's for or against any of these those things.
You know, Indiana, you might want to live down your history of having elected a Klansman serial rapist as governor.

Talk about a falling-out-of-your-chair moment!

No, I don't think so.
So what you're saying is that those folks probably won't be voting for Obama in Indiana next Tuesday?
