Chocolate likes good whisky.

Mr. Williams expends a great number of pixels on theorizing about the impact of race on the coming presidential election.  He seems to believe that there’s some grand undercurrent of racial animus in the white electorate.

Then he slips this little sentence in, completely whiffing his intended point:

In 2004, John Kerry had a 46% favorable rating among white voters, barely better than Barack Obama’s. But Mr. Kerry lost. Mr. Obama needs to do better with whites. But the white voters’ view of him is still clearly unsettled.

This means one of two things to me.  Either John Kerry was black, or the majority of whites aren’t keen on Obama for the same reason they weren’t keen on Kerry - his liberalism.

Occam’s razor being what it is, I’m siding with the latter.

Because just like me, most white Americans have no problem with a black man in the oval office.  Just not this black man.

Turns out it was a French socialist writer named Jean-François Revel who said it.

But you’d have a hard time finding that out if you asked Google.

As an aside - I don’t know that the search results themselves reflect a bias on Google’s part, or a bias on the internet towards the interlinking of the moonbat, truther, and broader anti-American communities.  But the sponsored result?  Come on.

Mugabe wins sixth term “overwhelmingly”

Read and learn.  That is what dictatorship looks like.  Not a flubbed count in a backwater state run by imbeciles.

Commercial starts: “I was a good mother.  Then I tried meth and…”

Whoa.  Stop right there.

If the thought of using a highly-addictive recreational pharamceutical occurs to you, you are by definition not a “good mother”.  If you are so dim that you expected an illegal drug to not have serious ramifications on your ability to care for your child, you are by definition not a “good mother”.

So, let us dispense with the bull.  Forty-plus years of narcotic and drug regulation have done nothing to stop the terminally self-destructive from breaking.  Airing ads on the radio to pull at the heartstrings of addicts simply isn’t going to work.  And it’s not likely to stop anyone from taking meth, crack, heroin, or anything else.  Someone that will abuse meth would simply find something else to abuse themselves with anyhow.  At least with meth, they get it over with quick and die.

If these people don’t want to take control over their lives and their brains, and instead want to let some body-rotting chemical take their mind away, why are we bothering to stop them?  For my entire life (and far beyond it) unregulated intoxicants have been illegal.  We have jails overflowing with drug makers, drug traffickers, drug pushers, and drug users.  What makes anyone think that pissing me off with another ad that makes me stupider just for having heard it is going to help?

Is it that they really think that this country is so fucked up that our only response to the election of an unpopular president is to kill him?  If that’s the case, why’s George Bush still on this side of the dirt?  With all the invective and hatred directed towards the man, one could reasonably assume that someone would have put him in the ground by now, but they haven’t.  Why would someone bother to take out a potential president Obama?

Which leads to one conclusion - the left is so enamored of nihilism that they cannot view anything except through the prism of self-destruction.

Spam subject: “what a stupid face you have here brian”

And all that’s in it is a link entitled “Watch” that goes God knows where.

Well, at least it’s a blatant attempt to pwn my machine, and it isn’t masquerading as something that will make my dick 57 feet long.

The story, of course, is from Gloucseter, MA.  17 girls (many of them sophomores - which makes them under 16) pregnant.  ON FUCKING PURPOSE.  What do the assholes in charge of the school system have to say?  “We need to prescribe birth control over the objections of parents“.

So, I don’t know what’s worse.  The idiocy of a dozen and a half teenage girls getting pregnant on purpose (high-fives all around when they got the news from the school nurse), that they were doing so with men old enough to know better (many over 20, and one a 24 year old homeless man), or that the school officials are so stupid.

Sure, let’s make birth control mandatory.  What are you going to do, shove the pills down the little bitches’ throats every morning?  What part of “I want to get pregnant” leads you to believe that the whore is going to take the little red pill?  No amount of birth control or “safe sex” education would have derailed their plans.

We always hear from liberals about addressing “root causes” - typically with massive amounts of government money.  What we never see, however, is results.  Well, here’s your results.  30 years of sex education, and dammit if those kids don’t know exactly how to fuck.  They still don’t have any clue of the true costs of the consequences of it, but they know all the good positions to try.

How does something like this happen?  Simple.  First, the parents.   The parents don’t say to their little spawn “don’t make me a grandmother, I’m not old enough”.  Many parents don’t seem to set ANY expectations for the behavior or performance of their children.  And then they have the audacity to act surprised when Bad Things happen.

The media certainly share in this a little.  When Jamie-Lynn Spears gets knocked up, the media fawn all over her instead of condemning her for setting such a bad example for all the 12 year old girls who watch her on television every afternoon.  And then the parents (yes, them again), either miss the teaching moment, or find that they can’t compete with the apparent glamor of Spears-the-younger. That they can’t be bothered to put in the effort is alarming.

The entire liberal establishment gets the lion’s share of the fault, however.  The original “I don’t wanna grow up” kids from the 60s are now running everything.  And they’re doing a lousy job.  Since we have to do everything “to protect the children”, we now have a bunch of teenagers who have no critical thinking skills, no ability to consider consequences, no ability to be responsible.  And then these same liberals, who’ve extended adolescence all the way through college graduation, turn around and tell these monsters that they’ve created “go ahead, do anything that feels good.  We’ll bail you out when you fuck your life up.”

We won’t get in to the apparent glamor associated with fatherless parenting methodologies, but you know that’s certainly going to leave an impression as well.

Time to invest in a nice high-quality chaise lounge, put in a store of adult beverages, and get ready to watch the show.  We had a good run of it.  Maybe the next attempt at civilization will actually work.

Hat tips: Pajamas, Wachel.

That’s just crazy talk.
