Lena Dunham ad by Steve Crowder. Getting right down to what it’s about: more free crap. Are young girls as thick as Obama thinks they are? We’ll know in two weeks.
Liberty Quotes
The essence of capitalism’s foreign policy is free trade—i.e., the abolition of trade barriers, of protective tariffs, of special privileges—the opening of the world’s trade routes to free international exchange and competition among the private citizens of all countries dealing directly with one another.

That was funny.
Love it.
Pitch perfect… but where’s (his) tatts?
There is a tatt, but it’s out of frame most of the time.
I’ve been a Crowder fan for years, and this is an instant classic that should go viral.
I like the Founding Fathers old stuff better than their new stuff.
Ha!
It’s gender non-specific Steve
This one did the bloggy rounds earlier this week:
This is a supposedly politically engaged group; smart enough to attend university; thanks to the interwebs the whole world is literally at their fingertips – a river of information
and it seems no one, presumably their lecturers included, had noticed or pointed out that the US consulate in Benghazi had been over run by jihadists on the 9/11 anniversary and a stack of people killed and wounded.
Crackhead gangstas on Chicago street corners not engaged – understandable.
This lot – one can only wonder what was the trending highlights for the last month on their Facebook and Twitter feeds ? What’s ‘hot’ in reality TV shows, because they seem to be out of the loop on reality itself ?
So all the Democrat machine needs to do is appeal to their “Like, whatever, like, y’know ? It’s not free stuff – it’s social justice, right ??” and Obama’s got the campus votes locked.
Let’s keep rolling on Benghazi 9/11 and Gen Clueless.
smalldeadanimals.com has a lot of stuff today on the reporting of what happened in Benghazi.
If Gen Why What ? are taking their newsfeeds from the legacy media, no wonder they have never heard about the triumphant foreign policy reset with the Arab Street:

Let’s check in with the other Mainstream Media news outlets to see how the self-proclaimed journalistic “professionals” are covering the biggest story in the world right now. A careful analysis of their home pages at 3:45pm ET reveals the following:
NBC News : Nothing.
ABC News : There was a link to Jake Tapper’s blog, which discussed the story, but nothing else more prominent.
CBS News : A small story in the lower left corner talks about the commando force available but mentions no details of the multiple calls for help, all of which were denied.
CNN : There was a tiny text-only link to the “Benghazi e-mails” but nothing else.
NY Times : Nothing.
Washington Post : Nothing.
CBC News : Nothing.
BBC News : Nothing.
shorter version “and shut up”
The MSN had a permanent erection for months on end following the phone hacking ‘scandal’ but when a bona fide scandal appeared involving their beloved President they wittingly or unwittingly promoted the diversion and then ignored the unfolding cover-up. They are a disgusting rabble of liars, whores and tartuffes.
Don’t lose your job because of an unwanted Presidency
I like this “tartuffe”, yes. I think I shall claim it as my own and use it for, although I find it is 350 years old, it is an apt word for our times.
dover_beach might have charged a good price for it but he didn’t and I will profit from that.
Well, our Lena was asking for that, eh? What a dill!
No. It’s my new favourite word, Mick and I saw it first!! (When Dover first said it, mind).
Steyn has been quite unable to contain his justificable contempt for the Obumma WH for some time but this paragraph on Biden’s pure unadulterated stupidity, from a typically brilliant J’accuse article, is appropriately cutting:
wong fwed
I hadn’t come across Steve Crowder until today. He is very good. More power to him.
BTW, Mick and Gab, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
See! I always end up victimated! Usually its a wimmenses who perps it too, which is a bit difficult to avoid given the invasion of my good self by Obergruppenfuehrer Mrs Mick, from a deeply matriarchal Asian culture, a daughter-in-law and three daughters, all of whom fail to recognise their proper place.
I left a $50 note on the coffee table two days ago, next to my wallet, keys and stuff. One of these Persons of Interest shimmied by this morning and announced “Oh, Dad, I dropped it when I called in on Monday and you found it. Aren’t you sweet?” and swept out the door. All I got was a smear of maroon lipstick.
When they wanted a smart word or phrase for a thesis or dissertation who did they call? How is one to replenish one’s cache of clever when you mince by Gab and announce “s’mine, I dropped it when I called by earlier today”?
I am now off to do important work in the grudge where they venture only to bring me coffee … when they are after something.
*mwwaaaap* See you later, Micky.
You know, it just occurred to me, Mick if you add in that your dog left you, your story above would then have the makings of a great country & western song.

“Well you look like a hipster, so probably Barack Obama, and I’m like don’t judge me!”
Pitch perfect. I thought that was the funniest bit about the real Lena Dunham video, that she could pretend to be coy about her voting intentions. Like all hipster douches, they broadcast their political views 24/7.
He’s not here, he’s in the grudge. Go away.
Humpf! Grumpy old bear.
The guy in the video is Steven Crowder.
Here’s Crowder being interviewed on gun ownership. What a cracking performance.
Crowder also did an excellent little video dealing with the decline of Detroit a few years back.
Young Lena’s mother is a photographer. Puts a whole new spin on Playschool.
I find some of mum’s photography very interesting – she uses light and colour beautifully. It’s just the subject matter and overt sexualisation that gets up my nose. It’s the same with Bill Henson. His streetscapes and still lifes are wonderful, but when it comes to children…. lock yours up.
Better still. Lock Bill up.
Harsh, but fair.
Yup. That works, too.
I was thinking of his trawling through schools looking for fresh subjects.
For some reason, taking photos of pubescent and adolescent children in various poses and states of dress in ways that are erotic is not pron when done by recognised artistes.
In which case, I’ll keep my girl out of harm’s way.
With regards to Henson et al. I have to wonder why parents let their children be photographed in various state s of undress.
If someone approached me and asked to take pictures of my daughter when she was a tween in an eroge or nude setting (no matter how tasteful or arty) it would not end well.
I’m surprised so few of you appear to have heard of the Crowder – like nilk, I’ve been enjoying his video parodies for years.
Needless to say, he’s no fan of that lobotomised medieval death cult.
Oh and he’s also Canadian, but don’t hold that against him…
Rabz – i actually follow Steve Crowder and Alfonso Rachel (Zo Nation), Kelsey Grammar also does the occasional bit.
Not too may conservative comedians out there. But they are good.
Zo is another favourite. There are definitely some good ones out there, and they make a pleasant antidote to the dreck that we’re served up with on a daily basis.
I used to love the Crowder’s pisstakes of olberdouche and rachel madcow…
Brilliant stuff.
That was brutal.
Big Bird. Binders. Bayonets.
Can’t beat Pat Condell.
Never heard of Crowder till I watched those linked videos yesterday… I wonder, on the Detroit one, if part of the reason they constantly vote for Democrat/progressives is because conservatives like Crowder have a habit of visiting their town… and saying ‘it sucks’. (Almost his first words in that video).
I dunno, class politics are different in Oz and you wouldn’t get the right/left behaving in the same way over here anyway… P J O’Rourke’s sense of humour is similar in some ways, and he often feels free to say such and such a place is a shithole, or whatever. (Actually a large part of his foreign journalism is based on that premise.) But Crowder’s act in Detroit seems a little too close to home….
