When you get tired of crying, the only thing left to do is laugh. Congress is fertile ground for humor of course, but you gotta hand it to big porn, they certainly have stimulated the funny bone regarding stimulus packages. The pun environment is target-rich indeed, and if you want to see some of the funniest, check out this slogan contest over at #dontgo.
For me, I can’t stop laughing at the idea of Larry Flynt and that Girls Gone Wild dirtbag writing a gimme letter to congress. What would that sound like? “Dear Congress, You know, I never believed these bailout request letters were real until it happened to me. I never thought I’d be writing a letter like this …”
But look, don’t lets limit ourselves to Porn bailout jokes. The entire bailout fiasco from start to finish is begging for a bit of satire and mockery. Please feel free. Puns, slogans, and graphics (as long as they’re not graphic) .. even youtube vids. Let’s see what you’ve got … err, so to speak. I have to say it: I’ve shown you mine, now show me yours.

One can argue
JustLeaveMeAlone (Diary) Friday, January 9th at 3:43PM EST (link)that the “adult video industry” has been the real creator of the Internet. Let’s be honest; at least 50% of all WWW innovations have come from the demands of that industry.
And heck, Larry et al pay taxes too. So they are as entitled to a bailout as anyone. Some might argue that an honest pornographer is preferable to a dishonest investment banker. Or a UAW executive.
If I get to vote where my money goes (to dream the impossible dream, huh?), I’ll take the AVN folks over the UAW folks any day. Better the sleezeball you know….

While some are calling for fresh blood at the tip of the industry, the idea of yet another call for taxpayer money will not cause the erection of any statues on the lawns of the GOP.
Financial numbers continued to slide down the pole at market close yesterday, although the bailout, if received, could provide a condom of protection from possible financial doom.

You want more of something, say jobs, cut taxes on jobs producers, you want less of something, raise taxes on job producers.
Quote me — Obama’s plan will produce the longest recession short of the great depression in US history with his nonsense. I doubt Obama even has a clue what he is doing.

Alaska AGW Update: Minus 80F in Tok
Achance (Diary) Friday, January 9th at 5:09PM EST (link)The all time North American record low is in the low minus 80s. I haven’t kept up with it lately, but it used to be Minus 81F, set at Snag, Yukon Territory a couple hundred miles east of Tok. Tok, or Tok Junction is where the Alaska Highway intersects with the Richardson Highway. If you go straight on the AlCan, you go to Fairbanks. If you turn left, you go to Valdez or take the Glenn Highway to Anchorage. I’ve been through there in winter a few times, but it was only in the minus forties, so nothing exceptional.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

JamesonLewis3rd Friday, January 9th at 6:04PM EST (link)but I washed my car today in my Arlington TX driveway and [cue player piano] the skies are not cloudy all day…..
Genetically, I’m a Buckeye from Columbus.
But, anyway, I find that self-stimulus-mania mockery–in its purest form–is a difficult task in that I would have to sink to below even their level in order to perform said mockery with any artistic mastery. Therefore, I am less into mockery these days (except as darn good fun) and more into striving to consistently promote and magnify the truth in the hope that maybe even just one Leftist will see the light and repent.
Now, one requisite is to perform this feat without using words like moron, idiot, imbecile and so on; I believe I can handle that. However, I’m having a hard time accomplishing the requisite stifling of my usage of certain words like Godless, traitor, degenerate, liar, racist and others because these words are allegedly offensive to someone, somewhere. And the reason I’m having a hard time with it is because I, personally, am not offended by the truth; in fact, I cherish the truth.
In closing and in the spirit of full-disclosure: I don’t use those words (or their equivalents) lightly or very often. I don’t bandy them about, so-to-speak, but they are real words that describe the results of actions taken to their logical conclusion. They (the allegedly offensive words) are potent and should not be used to characterize someone’s motives, that’s Someone Else’s job.

This is why subsidies are wrong...
fmaidment (Diary) Friday, January 9th at 6:21PM EST (link)…for that’s all a “bailout” really is: A subsidy to a politically acceptable and popular business.
If Automobiles get a bailout, but porn does not, then the government has chosen which industry is of value and which one is not. They can do the same thing with other industries, just as they have done with ethanol, mining and metals, shrimp fishing and farming, milk production and dozens of other industries.
Even individual businesses can be chosen over others, as we choose Bank of America and CitiBank over Haven Trust Bank.
Indeed a few years ago in the Southwest, a milk producer that did not participate in the Government’s milk pricing controls program was virtually regulated into bankruptcy. Food costs more because corn is in almost every food we buy, and so much corn is being diverted to ethanol production that its cost on the open market skyrocketed.
As we see, because government chooses winners and losers instead of allowing the market to choose, everybody loses.

Unfortunately, most sugar is made overseas. Hard to buy a constituency there. Better to enact a tariff to make corn competitive and win all those ag-industry votes.

Open Thread! FOX NEWS Censors McCain
olsmithie (Diary) Friday, January 9th at 6:41PM EST (link)Aproxx 6:37pm Cavuto is interviewing McCain, Mac is talking about reservations having same people that caused the housing crisis in charge of rescuing housing,
Just as Mac starts to say Barney there was a really poor edit and you heard no more about the cause of the Housing crisis.
Believe it or not, FOX doesn’t apparently want the ire of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd on their heads.
If FOX is bowing to the socialists, we are in really deep .
Perhaps someone with tivo could review this. If it had been a really good edit, we would not have known FOX is cleansing the broadcast.
I am really surprised, but will not trust Cavuto or FOX until something develops.
