Monday potpourri.

yefragetuwrabrumuy has a plan to fix DC:

It has long been time for the District of Colombia to become a federal reservation. By this I mean the systematic purchase of all lands in the district, so that in its entirety it is US national property, with the exception of foreign embassies, whose grounds are by law the sovereign territory of their respective nations, as are our embassies in their lands.

Many of the buildings in the District could then be torn down, and the infrastructure beneath them improved, then they would remain public park until needed for federal buildings, monuments and other needs.

The roadways could be restricted to only inspected VIP vehicles and public transportation, with alternative routes for trucks bringing supplies and materials into the district. All businesses operating in the city would do so by federal lease, to include the Watergate hotel complex.

Automatic sidewalks, such as are used in some long airport concourses, could rapidly convey pedestrians over the more popular routes.

The end result would be a city stripped of its ghetto and most street crime, with little or no automotive congestion, much easier to access by the public and tourists, with far more park land, space for memorials, and the enlargement of currently cramped federal buildings in the district.

It would no longer have the need for a city council, school board, or other such civic organization.

It'll render some Americans homeless, but they are just Dems anyhow, so who cares?

BlueStateBlues sees the horrors of DC's gay marriage law:

This means gays can get married at the Lincoln Memorial, within sight of the Capitol Building, on the sidewalk outside of the White House, or anywhere they damn well please in D.C. Some gay photo-ops to come. Let’s see them try to get married at one of the war memorials.

NOT IN FRONT OF LINCOLN!

Dr. Eckleburg reveals Freepers hated Vietnam all along:
And here we thought he was Carter when he was actually LBJ in drag all along. God help us.
Wow, I thought they loved them some Nam. I wonder what made them change their minds?

on Patton:

Wow!!! That was great. I love reading Patton’s speeches. I would give anything for an entire officer corps - Navy, Army, Marine, Air Force, Coast Guard, to be filled right now with Patton clones. I have a feeling that 0bozo & his fellow demoRAT socialists would be sitting in a military brig, awaiting trials for treason!!!

july4thfreedomfoundation has a fantasy:

“CBS News projects Sarah Palin as the winner in the State of Michigan!” “NBC News has projected that Sarah Palin has carried the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania!” “ABC News has projected that Sarah Palin has won the State of California. Charlie, this is the first time a Republican has carried California since George H. Bush won the state in 1988!”
“CBS News is ready to call ten more states....Florida, Ohio, Texas. Wisconsin, Iowa, Maine, New Jersey, Illinois, Missouri and Minnesota have all been won by Sarah Palin. Based on the earlier states we’ve called, CBS is now declaring Sarah Palin as the official winner of tonight’s Presidential election. President-elect Palin now has 350 electoral votes and counting. She only needed 270 to win. Barack Obama will be be giving his concession speech in 20 minutes.”

Cause the reality based community is for losers!

If people don’t sound like Lord Monckton, I kind of think they are in on the criminal conspiracy, which is exactly the way I see the NYT, CBS, NBC, and ABC. This is what Lord Monkton sounds like:

Unsurprisingly, according to the wiki, the key to not being in on the conspiracy is to think there is a conspiracy.

wintertime has an earthy metaphor for all you all:

The parents are in their 20s and 30s and have been thoroughly indoctrinated in the Marxist dialects of relativism and entitlement. The parents are uttering incapable of discerning good from evil themselves. Their teachers are also in their 20s and 30s and products themselves of the same government K-12 indoctrination.

It's like asking blind people to be seeing eye dogs by using their own gouged out eyes.

bert on Obama the warmonger:

America will go to war because war is the only to save the Obama Presidency from total oblivion.

Fast Moving Angel on the Confederacah!
I've been doing research for a book in progress and the more I read, the more I sympathize with the Southern viewpoint. The root cause of the Civil War was money (which is at the bottom of nearly every conflict in one way or another). The South got tired of having to pay tariffs equating to 80% of running the government and getting virtually nothing in return. Slavery was on its way out in the Southern states anyway.
JoeFromSidney on how war is all that truly means anything:
We deduce the possibility of peace from the fact that there are intervals between wars. Other than that, we have no evidence for the possibility of peace.
