Hillary supporters are now playing the gender card.

“Women will indeed be upset if it appears people are trying to push Hillary Clinton out of the way,” said Carol Fowler, the South Carolina Democratic chair who is backing Obama. “If you are going to ask her to withdraw, you’d better be making a strong case.”

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation/bal-te….

I see. Obama is where he is because he’s black, right Geraldine? And Hillary is being held back because she’s a woman, or she’s going to win because she’s a woman.

Why do Hillary and her supporters keep bringing up the features that neither she nor Obama can control? (Issues of determinism aside….)

Remember what they said in late 2007: http://www.boston.com…. 0/15/clintons_team_says_women_will_carry_win/

Why can’t we focus on policy? This bullshit about Hillary’s gender needs to be called exactly what it is: a talking point for the single-issue voter–the worst kind of voter available.

I don’t care if she’s a neon-green hermaphrodite. The bottom line is that her arguments suck, as I’ve already made abundantly clear.

The crew over at Kotaku found a satirical piece by Bill Maher about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s flat out make believe mispoken Bosnia mission. It is a YouTube video that spoofs her alleged sniper fire incident by turning it into a Call of Duty (COD) video game by Activision. There is also a nice little John McCain Nintendo wii title they throw on at the end. Enjoy.

Weak Ass Dudes Eating Salad 

This site just killed me. The site’s main premise is that “vegetables are at the core of any weak ass dude.” I like the conditions under which a taco salad is exempt.

Ok, people, this one is a bit more involved.

Start off at http://www.wlanbook.com/enable-disable-wireless-card-command-line/

1. Read this part, and do what they say:

Download DevCon package from Microsoft.com by clicking here and extract the package and copy the appropriate version (file in I386 folder for 32 bit Windows or file in Ia64 folder for 64 bit windows) to the C:\windows\system32\ folder.

2. Skip the step entited “Determining Device Instance ID.” There is an easier way than theirs. (If mine doesn’t work, then use theirs.) Go to control panel, then system, then device manager, then find your wireless card under Network adapters. Double click on your device, and click on the “details” tab. Choose Device Instance Id from the scrollbox. Here you will see something that looks like this:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4220&SUBSYS_27218086&REV_05\4&39A85202&0&10F0

Your prolly won’t look exactly like mine. I have bolded the part that matters. Copy that part–whatever it is. Don’t include the &s.

3. Create a new Autohotkey script. (NOOBS: Install Autohotkey. go http://www.autohotkey.com and get it done. Create and save a new script. (To learn how to create your first script, start here).

Here’s what my script looks like:

#1::Run devcon enable *DEV_4220*

#2::Run devcon disable *DEV_4220*

Note the asterisks–put them in. Save your script, and then make sure your script is running. In my script above, pressing Windows key and 1 turns on my wireless card, and pressing Windows key and 2 turns off my wireless card.

I don’t need to use the command line now to toggle my wireless card. Also, no more clicking through menus! This is helpful when I want to extend my laptop’s battery life and I don’t need or don’t have WiFi access.

I found this golden nugget at hotchickswithdouchebags.com.  I think I speak for the entire Soupy Trumpet crew when I say, BRAVO!

Proving yet again that douchebaggery can be more than the sum of its parts, Pointy McVulcan sets off brushfires off the coast of Paraguay through the sheer force of his facial asstastery.  Check it out: No bling. No popped collar. No annoying hat tilt. Only one massive douche hand gesture, and yet the ‘bag factor is off the charts.

I could play on that site for days.

And this…this…I think it speaks for itself.  Unfortunately, all I can do is tell you to click the link and enjoy the ride.  Don’t cheap out either.  By that I mean that you have to click on every single tab on this page to get the full experience.  If you don’t get to sample the wide variety of refreshments, you’ve done yourself a disservice.  Seriously, CHECK OUT THIS PAGE!  I have racked my brain and can’t figure out how to do it justice here…you gotta navigate yourself.  I guarantee it will make your day.

(By the way, what if my product is RU-486 and I like my product?)

I have to tip my cap to a certain attorney up in Dubuque who brought these to my attention.  Rock on, you left-wing kook!

Spanky is absolutely right about the plastic lids and straws. Napkins are another big one. Granted, you don’t want to drip Wendy’s chili or TB bean burrito on your chinos, but one or two napkins should do it. If you actually needed that whole stack of napkins you grabbed the last time you went to BK, you’ve got some problems, and you should probably start working on eating with utensils before you go out in public again.

 A couple of other conservation tips (not fast-food related) from Griff:

• Use less water in your toilet. If you don’t have a toilet that conserves water (and most of you don’t), fill up a 1/2-gallon plastic milk jug with water and place it in the tank to displace water.
• Set your computer to sleep/standby/hibernate after a certain period of time (Spanky!). Screensavers don’t do sh#t. This will save energy. For more on this, see http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/computers-sleep.html.
• Actually recycle. It’s not as hard as it looks. If you live in a city (like ours) where they don’t sort for you, do your own sorting and stick to it. When you go to the grocery store, ask for paper bags. Take these home and use them for recycling. Keep one bag for plastics, one for glass, one for cardboard, one for newspaper, and so on. Once you get used to disposing of your waste this way, you’ll hardly think about it. Here’s a good guide to sorting: http://www.icgov.org/garbage/documents/recyclePage.pdf.
• Speaking of grocery bags, control the bagging of your groceries. There is no reason to double-bag, or to use a whole plastic bag just for a box of cereal or a bottle of pop. Those pimply, squeaky-talking baggers at HyVee don’t know any better - they’re trained that way. But you do! Tell them how to bag your groceries, if you don’t want to do it yourself. Better yet, bring your own shopping bags. In Germany, you actually have to pay for bags, if you don’t have your own. That’s how it should be.
• I know we’ve all heard this before, and I know we’re all lazy-ass f*cks, but look at it this way: you’ve been gettin’ a little husky from all that PBR and burrito-binging anyways - why not save gas and work off that spicy chicken by walking or biking to Wendy’s?

Why so many Democrats are probably off the subject…

Superdelegate Bob Casey just signed himself for the Obama team.
http://soupytrumpet.com/uploads/2008/03/tickle1.jpg

Everybody and their mom has a view as to what the Democratic superdelegates should do concerning the presidential nomination. On the one hand, we’ve got Nancy Pelosi, who thinks that

superdelegates should support the party’s pledged delegate leader — a position that would be fatal to Clinton’s presidential bid.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/27/obama.moveon/index.html

Then there are Clinton’s backers, who provide a ton of money to the DNC.

Twenty of Clinton’s major donors sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Wednesday that suggested they might rethink their support for the party’s congressional efforts this cycle if Pelosi did not alter her publicly stated view…

Ok, I see that the fat cats are trying to buy the moral conscience of the superdelegates so that Hillary can possibly get a spot. Dark whispers abound: “Vote as you want, not as the people want… you are the chosen one…. YOU choose…. ” Fine. Whatever.

What’s my verdict?
Fact: some superdelegates have made up their minds, some haven’t. See:
http://www.politico.com/superdelegates/

For those who are committed already, they have more than likely already thrown out the principle that they should vote the will of the people. After all, the full vote from “the people” is not in.

The uncommitted superdelegates might be waiting on the will of the people. Then again, they might not. They might be undecided and yet think that the will of the people doesn’t play in.

The key question is, given a realistic picture of the undecided superdelegates’ decision procedures, what is this wrangling over the principles going to amount to?

Jackshit. I’m betting that the vast majority of the undecideds are firmly committed to their decision procedures without being committed (publicly, at least) to a candidate.

Only a few undecideds are probably beating themselves up over what decision procedure to adopt.

In other words, stop trying to convince the superdelegates about the principle of choice they should employ. Convince them about the candidates. Fry the red herring. (Not to be confused with the red trout.)

I’m hungry and ready to play some XBOX 360. Spanky over and out.
