England voted the Tories in and then suddenly remembered who the Tories were.

Voters are dumb.

Reminds me of the Spitting Image sketch where the tories go door to door yelling "stupid stupid stupid!" at their constituents.

Jo Cox, of course, was the politician assassinated by a neo-Nazi back in June. Anna Soubry is one of the most pro-EU MPs in Parliament these days.

That lovely attempt at aping Spitting Image, Newzoids?, is very depressing.

With foreign versions of stuff, I always enjoy the Hebrew version of Be Prepared from The Lion King, Nitkonen. I think it's because of how hard the rs are rolled, it sounds very catlike in a ferocious way, like the rumbling growl just before a lion's roar. It means that when Scar starts getting excited during the song he starts literally growling his lyrics.

The same goes for the phoneme that transliterates to "ch", that very back-of-the-throat sound has the same effect as the rolled rs

For a milder sort of Idiot on Social Media, an elected official in Australia has been engaged in a 'meme war' with a Simpsons page that makes fun of his political party. It started with this from the Simpsons Against the Liberals page (Liberals being our conservative party, go figure)



Which Andrew couldn't take laying down and decided to take a stand against these memes





At which point he declared victory and immediately regretted it after the meme page had a field day with the use of the word 'mashing'. The original mashing post has been deleted as well as many comments where he outlines his education policies riddled with terrible spelling and grammatical errors.



(If anyone can actually tell me what he's trying to say in that last one, please help me out)

He then declared the 'war' a tie and decided to move on and do his job


Just kidding, he kept it going until this morning. This was a solid day of this stupid poo poo. We elected this guy into our parliament.

Okay, I’ll bite the political bullet here:

The reason why my generation has been convinced socialism is the answer is that Reagan was before our time, and all our options other than that were fake capitalists who need the government to regulate their competitors out of business, half of whom were named Bush. We’ve had republicans who seem to not understand their own party’s platform who spent so much time trying to minimize their weaknesses that they forgot to maximize their strengths. Small wonder that they get blown out by a real estate guy with no political experience, a reputation as a jerk, and a terrible haircut.

I remember a beer commercial, showing a street. It started raining, and the people outside tasted the rain, and concluded that it was magically raining beer. So, they celebrated and ran around frantically shouting “It’s raining beer!” and collecting it in wheel-barrels. Then, one of them runs into a bar, says to the patrons, “Hey guys, it’s raining….Oh” only to notice Brand X on the table, considerably darker than the ‘beer’ outside.

I honestly think Ted Cruz is going to win Wisconsin, then we’ll realize it isn’t ‘over’. Cruz will then get a national platform. And I think, he’ll be the ‘Oh’ moment of my generation. The Bushes and Romney were not capitalists. What the republicans were previously selling was not beer, and due to it being so watered down it was actually losing to the kool-aid sellers across the street, now it’s losing to the guy selling ‘mystery drink’.

All my generation really needs is to know what “beer” supposed to actually taste like.

Besides, it was the previous generations that told us college was a requirement to make it in the job market, and it was them that allowed leftists to congregate in the faculty. Not like you can expect to send young minds through a marxist indoctrination mill and expect them to come out balanced.

If I recall correctly from the time when my siblings were younger and I had to hear this 30 times a day, I don't think it's representative of the quality of the dubbing as a whole. Scar in particular is dubbed by Eli Gorenstein, a decent character actor on stage, screen and voicework, but the others weren't all that high quality, and the voice direction was lacking. The rolling "r" is distinctive of a certain type of high-falutin' Israeli actor/radio narrator, and not otherwise very common these days. The "chet" is of course very dominant in most Hebrew speech.

Meanwhile, the Jungle Book's voice acting cast is basically a gallery of top notch Israeli actors and singers from the 1980's, including singer Dani Litani as Baloo and Haim Topol (yeah, that one!) as Bagheera, and is exceedingly well produced.

Somebody stumbled on the loose stair again. There should really be a sign.

quote:

Trump's "pay for play"schemes?" You really suck hard on the teat of left-wing stupidity, don't you? You're confusing Trump with Hag Hillary, you know, the one with the long record of graft, incompetence, and deceit; the bought and paid for corporate-globalist shill trying to start a war with Russia over the Chocolate Muslims' failed foreign policy in the Middle East which caused the rise of ISIS? If you want to talk about "fake news", I suggest you take a good sober look at your favorite liberal media spigots, who've spouted nothing but false information about Trump and the direction of the presidential election from start to finish. Fool me once shame you you, fool my twice, well---only a liberal gets fooled again. That's because a will to self-delusion is a prominent, integral trait in the personality inventory of the inveterate liberal sociopath.

You know, the kind of person who, in assessing a record like that of the Skinny Smoking Golfer, a.k.a., Trayvon's Father, sees the disaster of soaring national debt, increasing poverty, welfare dependence, unemployment, and crime, a spate of deadly Muslim terror attacks around the world on the heels of an utterly failed policy, the gutting and demoralization of the military, endless violent race riots, open borders crime and chaos, the continual flogging of the causes celebres of sexual degenerates as America loses its preeminent strength and standing in the world and jobs continue to flee to Mexico, etc, ad nauseam, smugly declares this obscenity of a administration as having achieved "progress". If "progress" towards economic insolvency, more Muslim terrorism, more poor people who depend upon government largesse, and greater social instability and violence, is your idea of a legacy of "accomplishments" by this president,", then I would suggest you remove your three-inch thick leftist spectacles and take honest stock of the blood and guts consequences of the obscenity you are touting.

Trump isn't even in office, and already he's busy making deals with American companies to keep high paying jobs in this country. Again, he's not even in office yet, and he's begun to do what he's promised to do. He's appointed tough, smart people like General James Mattis, to defend our nation, which is under serious threat from ISIS and from the border. As for China, your knee-jerkliberal caviling has not given us any compelling reason to think that Pres-elect Trump should mimic the feckless approach of Obama in slavishly appeasing countries whose interests on the economic and diplomatic world stage compete directly with our own. Unlike the Chocolate Muslim, Trump understands how the world really works; he knows on which side the bread of the Chinese is buttered, and who it is that is doing the buttering. The Chinese thrive only through our cooperation and investments.

There is no need, therefore, to rush to placate every defiant statement issued by any of their corrupt, one-party Communist apparatchiks. And while the skinny Chocolate Muslim may not actually be a Muslim (have you not heard of something called hyperbole?), the fact remains that his public statements, reveal him to be a rather fervid Islamophile, going so far as to put forth the absurd assertion that "ISIL has nothing to do with Islam" or that refugees from failed states in the Muslim world aren't a terror threat and have been thoroughly vetted, when experience has been plainly shown time and time again to say otherwise.

We are in a war to the death with violent fanatical savages who are supported by entire nation-states in their quest for bloody Jihad against the West, and this phony narcissist LOSER named Barrack Hussein Obama (formerly Barry Soetoro) is out delivering solemn lectures on the evils of "Islamophobia" and "hate". They should make him and his daughters live among Syrian and Somali Muslim refugees. But of course, the "blessing" of "cultural enrichment" which this third world invasion is held to represent, is oh so magnanimously reserved for poor white people and *their* kids. And you leftist douchebags want to sit there, safely ensconced in your armchairs, and cynically moralize to us about "bigotry"? You filthy hypocrites!
