“Duel”

Prolly the scariest movie I’ve ever seen (and that includes The Shining and Silence of the Lambs). RIP Dennis Weaver

Yes, the problem couldn’t possibly be that these governors would rather spend the gobs of Federal money they get for transportation to build 8-lane superhighways (to replace 5-year-old 6-lane superhighways) than build bike lanes, sidewalks or other non-motor vehicle traffic paths that parallel state and federal highways.

No, that would require self-reflection. And since half these goobers would recoil in fear of any mirror, that ain’t happening.

Remember also too, the First Lady viciously attacked our nation’s agricultural business sector by planting an organic garden on White House grounds.

This woman’s perfidy truly knows no bounds.

WOLVERINES!

…buckets of fried chicken skin drenched in a nacho cheese broth…

mmmmmmm…where do I sign up for these?

It’s amazing how inside-the-box the highway crowd thinks. I was involved in a push for a bike lane in our neck of the woods a few years back (I know, totally communist takeover of the roads by those damn hippies), and the completely blank stares we got from the bureaucrats and the highway junta were quite revealing. They just could not and would not comprehend the notion of not wanting to drive absolutely everywhere and crave ever wider and faster roads to do so. I hope Michelle rams her rig straight thru the offices of the Governor’s Highway Safety Association and scared them out of their complacency. With a side of nacho cheese broth.

Oh, for crying out loud. Aren’t there enough good reasons to criticize the Obama administration, that we have to deal with this shit?

Here in Oklahoma, I do my exercise walking down the center line of southbound I-35, like any decent patriotic American. We all know that pedestrian-and bike-friendly streets are the first step toward the triumph of communism. You know who was a pedestrian? Stalin, that’s who!

He really had to stretch for that one. Here’s a better explanation: the economy sucks and more people are forced to find more pedestrian forms of transportation because they’ve lost their jobs and the price of gas is so high. I’m betting Mr. Adkins didn’t get his appointment because he of his expertise with transportation technology.

hey! i just actually talked to jonathon adkins! really really nice guy.

he stressed that the radio station had taken that point out of context, and he acknowledged that it is a right wing station, but he was stressing that everyone needs to be alerted to be safe. he speculated that a lot of folks are out there walking to work who haven’t been doing so much in the past, and now they’re talking on their cells and texting, etc.

i told him my reason for calling was to respond to that possible explanation for the increase in walking, but also suggest that another reason might be that traveling via any means but walking (even cycling) has costs. and folks just don’t have money.

he was very nice, clearly appreciated the call, and asked that the word be spread: be safe.

so, this really was another one of those situations of the rightwingnuts taking perfectly reasonable information out of context and slathering it in, dare i say it? nacho cheese soup?

More importantly, how many of the pedestrians killed were Democrats and how many of them were republican? It would be irresponsible of me not to point out that this may be a conspiracy.

Death radial side panels!

Whiteywall tape!

It’s clearly all a plot to get em out on the street and then just run em down.

Not too many years from now people are going to be watching the movie “Wall E” with everyone in mobility scooters issued from birth and trying to figure out why it was satire.

Also too, yes “buckets of fried chicken skin drenched in a nacho cheese broth”, — no one has ever summarized American cuisine so succinctly. It kind of gets you right here. No wait, here. Middle of the chestal area and running down your arm, ah, the pain, the pain….

Robert Novak is dead, that’s the main thing.

639 WMAL is the premier Reich-wingnut conservaturd septic-tank/radio station in the nation’s capital, with programing directed at the area’s insane clown posse of grifters, flat-earthers, and birthers. It starts in the AM with Joe “What dead intern?” Scarborough, then to Rush “America’s Junkie” Limbaugh, to the Flomax slamming Sean Hannity, to disgusting hypertensive garden gnome Mark Levin.

On edit: The intern killer is no longer in their line-up. He was replaced by Chris Plant in the hours before the corpulent Dominican boy-violator opens his fat pie-hole. Sorry.

Atrios links to this post: http://tinyurl.com/5sd3cdm that has the WaPo and Maryland Highway Safety Office head (and GHSA chair) blaming the pedestrians for getting hit, including an anecdote of one fatality who was crossing with the light (the fool!).

I forget where I saw this, so I can’t attribute it, but the increase in question was something like 7-8 extra deaths in a total of fewer than 2k.
You’d think Hoft would have trouble grasping at these straws with such mountainous molehills in the way, but he cares enough to make the effort.

His brobdingnagian ego would not permit him to admit a mistake.

The increase in pedestrian deaths rose from 1,884 to 1,891. 7/1,894 =.004. Even Hofts’ fans are complaining. “The libs will use this to say we’re stupid!”

– like we’re in need of yet another reason? I think the other 718 are still perfectly legit.

Well, fat people can’t really move that fast. So, you know, culling the herd and all…

They are not stupid. They are smart. They just need computer things, to make them go.

Jebus. Wouldn’t anybody think of all the electrons that need to be deprived their liberty and forced down the intertubes to spread this dumbfuckery?

Can we just take it as a given that Tucker Carlson is now officially too stupid to live. Nothing like watching the evolution of a future Darwin Award winner.

Tintin and Thers,
eat your hearts out.

But then dumbass is more entertaining than 80′s synth shite.

No offense.

The Governors Highway Safety Association needs to be interviewed by Jason Jones on the Daily Show for an audience of millions.

There really is no bottom for Hateway Pundit, is there? It’s turdles all the way down for him.

Which would be okay, if every one of his unbearably stupid posts didn’t have five hundred other wingnuts chiming in, to fap about how much they hate Those People being in Their White House.

You know who eats “buckets of fried chicken skin drenched in a nacho cheese broth”?

Bristol Palin, that’s who.

Oh, and Satan, also, too. Like mother, like daughter.

I heard Michelle Obama wants kids to lose weight because she prefers lean children over fat children when she cooks them in her oven. Less cholesterol.

And since half these goobers would recoil in fear of any mirror, that ain’t happening.

You underestimate their bravery. They’d attack that mirror in a flash. If you’ve never seen their pompadours rise straight up in an instinctive attempt to make themselves as large as possible, you’ve missed an amazing sight.

ps: Goddamn, Olbermann’s canned!

Statistically, most scooter-Americans are conservatives, and they turn out in higher percentages to vote than most Democrats. This may actually be a viable reelection strategy for the Democrats.
