Info That May Have Limited Appeal

Anyone traveling I-44 West to OKC who plans to travel the Oklahoma Turnpike sections, avoid Creek Turnpike–a bypass around Tulsa, OK.

  1. It’s 10 miles longer
  2. A lot of that’s “under construction” slow-downs–though of course there were no workers present at all, at all
  3. “Toll plazas” are generally unattended–even though there are booths; no attendants, just signs telling users to use correct change
  4. Equipment malfunction(s?–One guy in a car in another lane just kept throwing money in again and again until it finally let him pass!): one stop for a toll plaza–OF THREE!–counted the money, then refused to let me pass. Good sport, I. Called the toll free number to report the malfunction and hopefully avoid a ticket for running the thing. FIVE MINUTE HOLD
  5. Last “toll plaza”–big, UNOCCUPIED, armored car BLOCKING THE BILL CHANGER!!! Attendant ambled on out and was finally available totake my money…

Took almost 25 minutes LONGER using the “bypass” than going straight through Tulsa rush hour traffic.

OK Creek Turnpike: Waste of time and money. Avoid it. (And let’s all send [virtual] big bags of stinky, rotten onions to the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority.)

Respect for Islam #2

And you said Muslims were humorless savages.

OK, so you were right, but they’re still easy to mock, even though theirs is a humorless, savage hate cult.

A Persistent Problem of Anti-liberal Faux “Liberalism”

As seen over and over again in the actual text of DNC speeches and delegates’ comments and Mass MEdia Podpeople “reports” (but I repeat myself *heh*), it’s difficult for people to reject the obvious lies their bigotry embraces and admit the facts staring them in the face demonstrate the wrongness of their positions.

Of course, it’s a problem for anyone–admitting one has been wrong because of bigotry, a fundamental bias against any particular really reality-based truth, and instead an embrace of “reality-based” fantasy–but I suppose it’s just that faux “liberals” are so very blatant about their bigotry, as seen in the brazenly racist motto so openly displayed at the DNC:

S’all right, y’all. You can come on over from the Dark Side. We’ll forgive you.

THIS Is Why America Is Currently in Decline

Well, it’s part (a large part) of the reason we’re in trouble. The following is a partial response to a tech site article, written by a professional “reporter” of tech news, if you can believe it. No, I won’t link it. The parts I don’t point out are as badly-written (or worse) and would only serve to improperly influence anyone not as thoroughly inoculated against linguistic drivel as I seem to be.

    • “At the time there were many different OS’s [sic] on the market…”

    Good Godfrey! Is there no editorial staff? No proofreading? No literate person to put an end to atrocities like this? An apostrophe IS NOT USED TO FORM A PLURAL!

    Apparently, there are no literate gatekeepers between writers and publishing; witness, earlier:

    “Common users also were quite skeptical to [sic] this new fancy gadget called a ‘Mouse’.”

    Not “to” but “about”. Learn the meanings of words!

    And,

    “IBM they [sic] named it PC-DOS and it quickly became a popular and widespread system.”

    WTF?!?

    And, “While back in their ‘lab’ secretly developing their new battleship, that would grow to conquer the world.”

    sic-sic-sic-sic-sic-sic-SICK!

    Sentence, please! Make a sentence! And what’s with the quotation marks around “lab”? And the comma between “battleship” and “that”? It’s just plain stupid, quite apart from being completely, totally and absolutely uncalled for.

    And the hits just keep on (and keep on) coming:

    “Windows 1.0: changing computers for ever…”

    No! No! No! Not “for ever” but “forever”–ONE WORD.

    How about,

    “Windows 1, [sic] was not the first of its kind but it introduced several improvements, among others were [sic] multi-tasking.”

    Dude! Lose the extraneous, meaningless, WRONGLY PLACED commas! They only serve to make you look stupid. And it just makes me sick to read the rest of the sentence. I gag just contemplating that abortion.

    The whole thing continues with one egregiously stupid comma, subject-verb disagreement and word mis-usage after another. *gag* And the guy actually does this for his day job.

    Thief.

    And unwitting subliterate products of “public education” (AKA “prisons for kids” and “remedial failure academies for young adults”) will read this dreck and have their subliterate ignorance reinforced. It’s evil, I say, just evil.

    Urm, No, Just No

    On the recommendation of someone whose taste in TV and movies has often led me to interesting fare, I cued up “Will You Tolerate This?”–the Season 1, Episode 1 opener for the Brit TV “Robin Hood”, and the answer for me is the post title.

    Picture this: a deer placidly grazing while a hunter draws bow maybe 20 yards away but is stopped from loosing when he realizes he’s surrounded by armored men on horseback.

    The guy with the bow and the deer both had to have been blind and deaf, and the deer must have also been olfactorily challenged as well.

    Nope. I just can’t suspend disbelief that moronically. bye-bye, “Robin Hood”; I don’t even want to try to buy into something that assumes I’m that stupid.

    And Why Would That Be, Exactly?

    According to ABC “News” *cough-gag*

    Both the Washington Post and CNN report that if the House cites Holder for contempt, it will be the first time in history that a U.S. attorney general is held in contempt of Congress.

    Could that be because this is the first time in history that a U.S. attorney general has acted so contemptuously toward Congress? Hmmm? Could be… (Is)

    The Hivemind needs to learn to call a spade a spade.

    Here’s Why Anthropogenic Global Warming May Be One of The Zero’s “Shiny Object” Distractors Sometime During the Next Few Months

    [Don’tcha just love loooooong blogpost titles? YW. :-)]

    We’ve already seen how The Zero and his minions like to hand-wave and point at shiny objects to distract the stupid from his record and even from his contemporary acts. And we’ve already seen how well that works out for him with the non-terminally stupid among the electorate in his ever sinking poll numbers.

    So, of course, that’s why at some point he and his minions will try to pointy at something they’ve been polishing up to “prove” that The Romney Android 2.X is hell-bent on murdering Gaia. After all, in a recent online (unscientific, but indicative and in general agreement with more serious) poll The Toronto Sun, a paper in a very libtardic-dominated area, offered an interesting take:

    Given that

    “The Romney Android 2.X wants to murder Gaia!” is a sure winner with the Loony Left Moonbat Moron Brigade and

    A sure *yawn* or even *giggle* with anyone who has more active brain cells than a cracked crock of kimchi and thus a guaranteed LOSER tactic,

    It’s almost a certainty that we’ll see this bright shiny object (of worship by members of the Cult of Anthropogenic Global Climate Scatre-ism and of derision by anyone else) waved at some point.

    Don’t get cocky folks, but do enjoy the farce.

    BTW, folks, here’s one of the things The Zero and his minions (which pretty much includes MSNBC, et al) will be waving shiny objects to distract morons’ attention from:
