It’s spring, so it’s got to be pesto. Such a simple recipe we should be able to do it in one film:

What the Rude Pundit said: “Ann Romney has lived a privileged, pampered life and she has done nothing that anyone would associate with a “job,” and that includes her stay-at-home mothering, readily assisted by nannies and servants. She has a degree in French from Harvard and her major activity is dressage (which, apparently, is some fancy horse thing involving riding crops and jodhpurs and jaunty hats). Rosen was addressing Mitt Romney’s remark that he listens to Ann on economic issues affecting women. Mitt Romney getting advice on the economy from his wife is like him getting foreign policy advice from Seamus, the roof-riding family dog. (Although, if you think about it, “Shit yourself until someone hoses you off” isn’t bad advice for a nation.)” [The Rude Pundit]

Say it isn’t so! “[Peter] Brimelow is already rallying to the defense of Derbyshire and Weissberg, but with any luck he’ll be able to land them jobs at MarketWatch like he did another of his white nationalist collaborators – Edwin Rubenstein. Rubenstein, an economic consultant, is a frequent contributor to MarketWatch and [white nationalist website] VDARE.” [Right Wing Watch via LGF]

What was that we were saying the other day?

There was a long moment when we pondered our immediate fate as a Nice White Oregon Boy in the Wrong Los Angeles Neighborhood.

Meet Caine. Caine designed and runs a cardboard game arcade. In his dad’s auto-parts shop.

In East L.A.

Caine’s too young for us to have met him when our van stalled on an East L.A. overpass fifteen years ago. But in the alternate-universe version of our story, the one where we descend from the overpass and all our fearful preconceptions are proven hilariously wrong, he would have been part of our Excellent Adventure.

Caine’s Arcade

Well, not really, but I’m starting to wonder what’s up with Mittens and his fellow dog abusers.

From Dogs Against Romney:

On Monday, Romney will be the beneficiary of a fundraiser that is being hosted for him by Fred Malek. Who is Malek? He is the former President of Marriott Hotels and Northwest Airlines; former assistant to U.S. Presidents Richard Nixon and H.W. Bush; and former National Finance Committee Co-Chair for John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Fred Malek is also part of a group of men who were arrested after killing and barbecuing a dog in a city park in Peoria, IL in 1959.

Stinquers who are old enough to remember Watergate may also know Malek as the Nixon advisor who vowed to drive all the Jews out of the Labor Department.

But really, barbecuing a dog? What kind of sick twisted fuck would do that? Sadly, it is true. WARNING: The following may shock and horrify anyone who has a conscience or a shred of humanity.
