Obligatory ‘Miley Cyrus Topless’ Post

Posted on Comments

You’d hate me if I didn’t do this one.

The piercings, the tattoos, the butch haircut — if you find that look attractive, seek professional psychiatric help immediately.

In her Rolling Stone interview, Miley says stupid stuff:

The 20-year-old says she’s well aware of how ridiculous she looks twerking, but guess what? She couldn’t care less.
“People are like, ‘Miley thinks she’s a black girl, but she’s got the flattest ass ever,’” she says. “I’m like, I’m 108 pounds! I know! Now people expect me to come out and twerk with my tongue out all the time. I’ll probably never do that s*** again.”
As for comments being thrown around that she’s trying to be “black”, the self-aware singer says: “I’m from one of the wealthiest counties in America … I know what I am. But I also know what I like to listen to. Look at any 20-year-old white girl right now — that’s what they’re listening to at the club.”
She had a few choice words for the haters of her VMAs dance with theBlurred Lines singer also: “No one is talking about the man behind the ass. It was a lot of ‘Miley twerks on Robin Thicke,’ but never, ‘Robin Thicke grinds up on Miley.’ They’re only talking about the one that bent over. So obviously there’s a double standard.”

In related starlet-meltdown news, Amanda Bynes is still crazy:

Amanda Bynes is mentally unfit to stand trial … this according to her lawyer in her DUI case … TMZ has learned.
Amanda was supposed to appear in court today for her DUI arrest in West Hollywood back in April, 2012. Amanda’s lawyer, Rich Hutton, told the judge Amanda did not have the mental capacity to understand the nature of the legal proceedings.
The judge apparently had concern … and transferred the matter to the mental health court. The judge in that court will conduct a hearing to determine Amanda’s mental competency.

If you’re too crazy to understand a DUI hearing, you’re just too damned crazy. Miley Cyrus probably isn’t that crazy . . . yet.

 

Mrs. Malkin Misapprehends: The Underside Of The Bus *IS* Your Healthcare Plan

It’s kind of a bummer to see #OccupyResoluteDesk so misinterpreted:

See, you’re going to have a plan that you can keep. All of the angst hinges around you learning to LIKE the thing. And that’s where the American people have really let our no-talent rodeo clown down. For some strange reason, we have refused to internalize the concept of rank incompetence and thuggery as the new excellence. Clearly the problem lies with us.

Via Instapundit, the fact that numbers are all morally equivalent helps soften the blow that ObamaCare will only insure half of the number previously taped to the shuttlecock down at the badminton court on Martha’s Vineyard. Pay no attention that, as with unemployment numbers, the actual values will likely prove significantly worse, once the value of deceiving people has diminished to the point the truth leaks out.

And so Harry ‘the Cadaver’ Reid is going to defend ObamaCare as though it were Greece, and our federal government the EuroZone.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) declared Thursday that any government funding legislation that takes away money for Obamacare has no chance of becoming law.
“In case there is any shred of doubt in the minds of our House counterparts, I want to be absolutely crystal clear,” Reid said at a news conference. “Any bill that defunds Obamacare is dead. Dead.”

And if anybody in DC is intimately familiar with rigor mortis conditions, it’s Ol’ Harry.

But let’s have none of that scurrilous, old-fashioned equality-before-the-law talk:

On Tuesday Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) indicated on the floor of the Senate he was “open to having a vote” on Senator David Vitter’s (R-LA) amendment to eliminate the Obamacare exemption for members of Congress, according to a Breitbart source on Capitol Hill. [Friday], however, he and his Democratic colleagues are singing a different tune, and the lyrics come straight from that timeless phrase used by hypocrites throughout American history: “What’s good for thee is not good for me.”

My thought, given the state of the slow-motion train-wreck, is that after suitable theater, Congress delays the ObamaCare debacle a year, and tries to get some of the infrastructure more ready. I doubt that the Democrats have any regard for ObamaCare itself; it’s never been more than a stepping stone to Single Prayer, anyway. As long as it’s achieving its purpose of being a Cloward-Piven wrecking ball, why would the Democrats care?

The danger to the Dems, as the sleeping giant of liberty continues to awake, is that a delay permits drags the economy down, and more information about how diabolically false the entire undertaking to circulate. That could affect the 2014 vote.

Suggestion: hire John Cleese for a series of PSAs at NFL games, trying to sell “ObamaCareTross” and/or “CrapNados”:

@Alyssa_Milano Releases Sex Tape as ‘Social Statement’ (Alex Jones Is Nuts)

Posted on Comments

As soon as I saw ALYSSA MILANO SEX TAPE, you know I had to click the link, and was momentarily afraid Becca Lower was linking video from a certain 1995 exploitation flick that shall not be named. (“Never mention that movie . . . she hates that movie,” a friend advised me not long after I began my long quest for an Alyssa Milano re-Tweet.)

After watching the ALYSSA MILANO SEX TAPE, I Tweeted:

It seemed to me the video was a bit pro-war, and my profound skepticism about the Syria situation is well-known, but I honestly didn’t think that Alyssa Milano would actually reply:

The “sex-tape” is not a political statement. It is a social statement of how Americans are more likely to click on a link labeled “sex-tape” than they are legitimate news.

This a legitimate point: Whether you are for or against this Syria intervention — and as readers know, I’m against it — you at least ought to be informed about it. And you should not be misinformed or disinformed about it, as is the case with Alex Jones’s audience:

“War whore”? Alex Jones is a despicable conspiracy theorist who spent years pushing 9/11 Truther nonsense. At the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Alex Jones spotted Michelle Malkin at a protest and he started shouting “neocon” and a bunch of other stuff, which incited some protesters to start chanting, “Kill Michelle Malkin.”

If it hadn’t been for Charlie Martin and Jim Hoft being there to defend her, who knows what might have happened?

I’ve hated that dangerous kookball ever since, and the fact that Alex Jones is now smearing a liberal like Alyssa Milano (while, characteristically, ranting about the “New World Order”) goes to show just how little Alex Jones’s paranoid anger has to do with actual politics.

Alex Jones is worse than those idiot liberals who were raging because Alyssa Milano appeared on Fox and Friends this week.

If anybody needs rational arguments against the Syria intervention, I’ll be happy to provide them, but you’re not going to get any rational arguments from Alex Jones about anything.

And now, if you haven’t clicked ALYSSA MILANO SEX TAPE yet, go ahead and do it, and you can thank Alyssa Milano on Twitter.

UPDATE: Linked by Donald Douglas at American Power — thanks! — and Andrew Marcus shares his video of the 2008 DNC confrontation with Alex Jones:

Watch that video, with Jones calling Malkin “evil” and a “monster” and shouting, “She wants to put us in camps!” and you realize that this is a guy affected with serious psychiatric issues.

“Crazy” is not a political philosophy.

Also keep an eye out for the way Charlie Martin (the big stocky guy) doesn’t let Alex Jones intimidate him. Jim Hoft was great there, too, but everyone agreed Charlie was a superstar that day.

 

OMG! @Alyssa_Milano to Appear on @FoxAndFriends; Liberals Go Nuts

Posted on Comments

Longtime readers know the story: In 2009, after Alyssa Milano re-Tweeted a column by Mickey Kaus, I determined to get mine, too:

Some of my friends say that Alyssa is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal. . . . Surely, however, she would not allow mere politics to prejudice her Twitter habits.

It took 11 months (and the constant incitement of friends), but finally in September 2010, came the Tweet Heard ‘Round the World:


See? Politics isn’t everything. And yet this morning, when it was announced Alyssa Milano was scheduled to appear on “Fox & Friends,” some of her liberal fans were less than . . . bipartisan:

Why do people have to be like that? I’m glad conservatives aren’t intolerant like that. Yes, Alyssa Milano is a liberal, but she’s just a regular liberal, not a shrill Bill Maher/Janeane Garofalo obnoxious partisan Hollywood hatemonger. She’s not Sean Penn or Michael Moore or some other America-hating commie.

And did I mention she RT’d me? With 2.5 million followers?

Also, she’s better-looking than Michael Moore. A uniter, not a divider.

UPDATE: More anti-Fox spew from liberals:

This is amusing in several ways. I’m kind of notorious as the conservative guy who Watches MSNBC, So You Don’t Have To™  and lately, MSNBC has been the pro-war channel — “We must bomb Syria! Now!” — and these Fox-haters were all anti-war back when it was important for liberals to hate war. Principles? Standards? They got none.

 

My Nightmare and @Andria_XX’s Reality

Posted on Comments

Sunday was spent with my wife and kids at her family reunion and, I don’t know, maybe I’m feeling deadline stress on this article about the Virginia gubernatorial campaign I’m supposed to be finishing up for the next print issue of The American Spectator.

Anyway, I woke up this morning after having a horrible nightmare about Miley Cyrus. It was a sex dream. This confirms my Calvinist belief in total human depravity, because anybody who would dream about sex with her is totally depraved.

Do I feel dirty? Sure, but that wasn’t actually the nightmare part.

In the dream, I woke up and Miley was gone, so I stumbled outside half-dressed and there was some kind of deal about her cell phone being lost. Then I started walking toward a restaurant. (Don’t ask why; dreams don’t work that way). On my way to the restaurant, I encountered Miley who was headed back in the other direction. I told her I would find her cell phone and she yelled back that I had better find her Aerosmith tickets, too. (Don’t ask why Miley Cyrus would need tickets to get into an Aerosmith concert; dreams don’t work that way.) So I got to the restaurant, where they had both the phone and the tickets at the front desk, but then the police showed up, and the media, too.

That’s when I woke up, just as it turned into a catastrophic scandal.

Like I say, I attribute this nightmare to deadline stress, rather than to any secret lust for Miley Cyrus, but thank God, it was just a dream.

Not so much for @Andria_XX, the feminist whose reaction to criticism of Miley Cyrus’s VMA performance introduced the world to the word “heteropatriarchal.” Andria has an “Honors BA in Social Justice and Peace Studies” and has nearly completed her Master’s degree in Gender Studies, yet finds herself applying for hotel clerk jobs: “My degrees mean NOTHING. I am at the end of my rope.“

Andria’s plight went viral over the weekend — not in a good way.

My observation that being “an advanced student of useless ideology doesn’t result in meaningful employment” got linked all over the place, including Instapundit and a sidebar headline at Ace of Spades, and Vox Day made a point I hadn’t even considered:

She’s very lucky the service industry will consider hiring anyone with a pulse, because any employer looking at those degrees has to knows she is a walking, talking, sexual harassment and/or discrimination lawsuit waiting to happen.
In fact, a Gender Studies degree actually has negative value, given that credentialed feminists are considerably more likely to cause disruption in the workplace.

Exactly: Outside of academia, non-profit activism or certain government jobs, no employer in his right mind would hire someone whose educational credentials identify them as an adherent of radical ideology. Better to major in Esperanto literature, really, than to advertise yourself as one of the Permanently Aggrieved.

Reaction ranged from Captain Capitalism’s embittered schadenfreude (don’t let your hate own you), to Pete Da Tech Guy’s merciful hope for Andria’s redemption (a hope perhaps too fond). But the genuinely horrifying revelation was when David Thompson linked to one of Andria’s Tweets that I had hitherto overlooked:

@Andria_XX‘s plight is kinda like my Miley Cyrus nightmare, a catastrophic scandal exposing a shameful truth. Imagine the moment you realize that your education was not merely a waste of time, but a crippling burden that will haunt you the rest of your life.

Somebody should write a book about that, eh?

In Case You Missed It, @MileyCyrus Got Super-Skanky on the VMAs Last Night

Posted on Comments

Of course, I didn’t watch MTV’s Video Music Awards, but the morning news shows were running . . . er, highlights of her performance, from which I gather that the name of her latest hit song is, “Do Me in the Butt, Total Stranger, Because I Need Money to Get Me Some Meth.”

OK, I’m hat-tipping Ace of Spades for that joke, because that’s what Ace would have said circa 2006, before he got all “respectable” and stuff. The inspiration lives on. Anyway . . .

How skanky was Miley Cyrus last night? Mika Brzezinksi felt the need to condemn it as “disturbing,” because Mika would never let a total stranger do her in the butt, not even if she needed some meth.

Mika’s not working on a Masters degree in Gender Studies, however, and doesn’t understand how 21st-century pro-sex feminism regards this whole “do me in the butt” thing as empowerment.

Da Tech Guy has some relevant thoughts, none of which involve the phrase “do me in the butt,” for which I’m sure you’re grateful.

UPDATE: Can I pick ’em, or what?

Apparently, linking to the “about” page on @Andria_XX‘s blog constitutes harassment. The real problem, however, is that when you’re living inside an intellectual cocoon — and if a graduate program in Gender Studies doesn’t fit that description, what does? — you’re not accustomed to being directly criticized, let alone ridiculed as a nincompoop, and you may actually forget that the secondhand radical ideology you’re being spoon-fed is controversial out in the real world.

UPDATE II: Aannnnddd she just switched her account to protected status, an experience which I’m sure she’ll blame on the patriarchy.

UPDATE III: Blame where blame is due:

Hats off to SooperMexican, who spotted Andria’s Tweet, and to Zilla Stevenson who realized I needed to see it, and I think there was An Army of Heteropatriarchal Davids who spontaneously decided that Andria deserved Dumbest Person on Twitter recognition.

 

Special Snowflake Syndrome

‘Troubled starlet’ Amanda Bynes, weeks before she got sent to the psych ward.

Last month, Amanda Bynes went crazy — no, wait, let me re-phrase that: Last month, it was recognized as an official fact by the state of California, that Amanda Bynes had been going crazy for a long time, and had finally reached her destination, Crazytown. Kookville. Nutsburg.

Her original 72-hour involuntary commitment was extended to 30 days, and the diagnosis is . . . Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Last week a California judge granted permission, at the request of doctors from the Hillman Psychiatric Center in Ventura County, to extend Amanda Bynes’s psychiatric hold for another 30 days. According to state law, such an order can only be approved if the patient is “gravely disabled as a result of a mental disorder” or “is a danger to others, or him or herself.”
But a source very close to the 27-year-old former child star tells us her prognosis is not all doom and gloom.
“Amanda has made significant improvements, she is doing better than she was,” an insider told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “There are no drug problems involved, it’s all mental. She has deep anger and PTSD, which tripped a psychotic episode. … She is very ill, but manageable. Amanda genuinely wants to get better and has wanted to get better for some time.”
We’re told the PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) stems in part from the pressures of her Hollywood career, in which she shot to Nickelodeon stardom as a child, before declaring that she was “retiring” a few years ago. Bynes also has very deep-seated conflict issues with her parents, with whom we’re told she’s not particularly close.

Uh, no, she doesn’t have Post-Traumatic Street Disorder, unless maybe she went to Iraq and watched her friends bleed to death after their Humvee got blown up by insurgents. And I’m pretty sure I don’t remember the “Amanda in Fallujah” episode on Nickelodeon.

Having your show-business career fizzle out in your mid-20s is kinda bad, but it’s not the kind of trauma that causes PTSD.

Maybe she had some stress, but trauma? I don’t think so.

Here’s my diagnosis: Special Snowflake Syndrome.

Since she was about 10 years old, Amanda’s life was nothing but success — All That,  The Amanda Show, What I Like About You — and she got used to thinking she was special because, really, she was.

Then, without warning or explanation, it stopped cold. She hasn’t done anything since 2009 — a washed-up has-been at an age where most other young people are just beginning their careers.

During the dozen or so years when she was a little celebrity, however, she never acquired any useful life skills or had to deal with anything more difficult than saying her lines and hitting her marks in order to be treated like a Special Snowflake.

And the loss of that status, while perhaps probably was traumatic from her perspective, but it was a status that most people never enjoy, so she wasn’t really worse off than most other people and, at least financially, was a lot better off than 90-plus percent of everybody.

Some people are emotionally strong and some people are emotionally weak, and Amanda Bynes wasn’t one of the strong ones.

So, over the course of the past three years, bit by bit, step by step, Amanda Bynes gradually went crazy, and by the time her craziness started causing serious problems — in April 2012, she got her first DUI — there was apparently nobody around who had a serious interest in helping her cope with her various issues.

What does “conflict issues with her parents” mean? I don’t know, but the fact that she got so far off the rails with nobody to stop her tells you that there weren’t any grown-ups around Amanda Bynes who were doing anything to help her solve her problems.
