Ha Ha!! This is the episode where my snark enjoys a nationwide (sort of) audience!

What happened in France is coming here. I guess Jews should start packing.
*Threatening phone calls!*?
Or nazi invasion?
It has to start somewhere it only gets worse from here.
"The owner says D.C. police investigated but handed the case over to Homeland Security, which deemed the threats not credible.
Verizon says the calls are traceable but it needs police to ask it to take action.
The business owner says the detectives tell him they must hear from Verizon first."
These are the clowns with the monopoly on legal use of force. These are the clowns who are supposed to keep us safe.
See the owners should have just said they also go offered drugs by the caller. Forfeiture = Motivation
Uh...no, they are not supposed to keep us safe. That is not in their job description. The Nazgul agree.
What horseshit. The DC police claim they can't get a trace on the calls until Verizon contacts them.
That is such unadulterated horseshit.
Absolutely correct.
It is akin to saying that they couldn't investigate a hotel room as a crime scene until the management called them.
"I guess we'll just sit around and wait for them to offer us help!"
What!? No 'Marathon of Matt', where every "Where its Matt" segment is run in a nonstop, commercial free format?? I FEEL CHEATED
Matt gets an alien infection, and the treatment requires him to relive past events. Call it (50) "shades of welch"
Welch should be offended if it takes aliens to get him to 50 shades.
Marion Barry Definitively Dead - apparently some people showed up for the funeral, and some lucky police collected overtime; beats working
He was as crooked as a dog's hind leg, and still gets the taxpayer funded royal treatment at his death.
I actually read that as Police showed up to shake down mourners.
He was as crooked as a dog's hind leg
Jeff Tucker faps
Brutal(ist)
Did the bitch let him down?
"Chuck? It's your cousin Marion, Marion Barry. You know that new sound you've been looking for? Well listen to this:"

Men who take selfies? = Probably Psychopaths, Study Says
a Feast of Obviousness translated into Hand-Wringing Bullshit By Academics =
"The research concluded that narcissistic and psychopathic traits correlated with men who posted more selfies, while narcissism and self-objectification peaked in men who more frequently edited their photos"
No shit? didn't see that coming. "people who take a lot of pictures of themselves = *might be 'narcissistic*.". Hm. And people say there are *too many* PhDs in the world.
Meh, reptile selfies count as Green Media
So we can't SELF-objectify even as males? What the fuck has become of the so-called cognoscenti?
Fuck the intellectuals. Enjoy your face, bros. You have a short life- relish it. You'll be no more troublesome than the billion duck-faced women out there.
I just wish other people enjoyed my face...
I enjoy your face, Paul

The study also found that some men are too sexy for their shirts.
What about the ones who send pics of their junk? Also what do millinials think about this?
I will follow the spirit of the show and repost the best derp I've found:
Introducing a NJ professor who denies Stalin's atrocities:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdajUraK0LM
I love Yuri Maltsev's reaction.
About his boo Khrushchev Lied:
A 2011 book titled Khrushchev Lied by American academic Grover Furr takes an even stronger negative view of the speech, dissecting the speech itself directly. A sympathetic review commented that, "Furr identifies 61 allegations in Khrushchev's speech. [...] with only one minor exception, every one of them is demonstrably false."[18] According to Furr, Khrushchev worked hard to discredit his predecessor Stalin by painting any and all claims upon him, even when demonstrably false. For example, Furr points out that Khrushchev himself was guilty of the very purges which he blamed Stalin for, signing orders as a ranking member of the Communist Party which were carried out by NKVD chief, Nikolai Yezhov.
Partial truth: Khrushchev worked really hard to distance himself and his cohort from Stalin's crimes even though they had been neck-deep in them. The process, after all, was described as de-Stalinization not de-communism.
That doesn't mean Stalin wasn't involved of course. But K was initially less vicious than Stalin rather than being more vicious: they were hints at uprisings in Russia itself as well as in Poland before Hungary took center stage. People weren't rebelling b/c K was worse but because they thought he was better.
So his whole book is screaming, "LEAVE STALIN ALONE!"?
Holy crap. Full out denial. Not denial-lite
Meet the man who wants the nation's scientists to invent an alternative utensil so knives can be banned:
http://youtu.be/CNb34vPqrN0?t=2m52s
Next up on the Science! queue: design a hammer incapable of delivering blunt force trauma wounds.
Last I heard, knives were banned in prisons.
Well at least he's gay. NTTAWWT. Just good he won't be polluting the gene pool any further.

Well, she wants a pesticide for cops. How is this dumb?
"And, um, organic food is good also."
I was skeptical = then the video started and it said, "Santa Cruz..." and i thought, "ok. Yep. That's where you'll find it."
She's a hot chick. She can totally bail on life and set up shop in someone else's.
It's the way of the world.
Shit, wrong comment reply.
How come there hasn't been a gay Mexican pothead on the show?
Can you really have a "best of" show without one?
ATF seizes toy guns- said they could be converted
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2sWiZ8BizI
17k murders a year in 'Murica and the ATF wants to protect us by gittin' all fidgety about Airsoft rifles.
Fuck these imbeciles.
Imagine how many murders would occur if Airsoft rifles weren't seized?

I don't think I'm going to click on all those links of yours. It would probably be the equivalent of scarfing down ten of the marijuana candy bars that Maryland woman nibbled on.
Set and setting, man. You don't want to have a bad trip.
Fucking sister of mine pleaded to call a goddamn ambulance a few years back because she had a bad trip. Dumb cunt thought she was dying. Luckily, a paramedic/former cop friend of that side of fam said, 'Fuck no, you ain't calling jackshit unless you want your dumb ass sittin in jail tonight'. One hour later she was flying reasonably high and toasted and coasted. She ate her goddamn brownies too fast like a retarded squirrel. "Shit ain't settin' in- SHIT ain't SETTIN' IN'... Well, it 'sat in' like an elephant. Luckily cooler heads prevailed.
Did your friend warn you that "if you eat too much of that stuff you'll be posting really weird stuff on the Internet?"
I trip on different shit, darling. And I don't fucking call the goddamn ambulances.
Watching those videos will probably trigger my paranoia and make me think the country is governed by a conspiracy of idiots.
It's not a conspiracy- idiots aren't smart enough for that.
I tried a joke with my Jewish friend: Protocols of the Elders of Chelm. He didn't like it.

Good God. Do you have a derp generator? Maybe a derp bat signal?
I eat, sleep, breathe, & dream about derp.
I've seen derp you've only seen in your nightmares. Things you can't even imagine. Things you can't even see.
You see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight.

Youtube sage explains why libertarians are idiots:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbuDPO2LSX4
Where's sarcasmic when you need him?
Gubment is unselfish as the wind-driven snows, Derpmonster. Nothing gubment does is connected to corporations and orthodoxy. Gubment is the final arbiter of what is truly correct. Gubment is the correcter. Never mind that Gubment is chock full of the same assholes that left the MARKETS this dickhead hates.
Within 1 minute he declares that people are stupid, therefore we need govt.
But wait a minute! Govt is made up of people. So if people are stupid and the govt is people...
Not sure this youtube infection deserves this much attention, bro.
Special Ed on MSNBC wants to know why people vote against their own interests.
http://youtu.be/tInrwD6YIws?t=2m27s
I draw the line at Schultz. No way.
If you believe in politicians do you even fucking understand what your own interests are?
Scene: Occupy Philadelphia protests; a conversation with a trans-sexual Maoist and a guy in a rainbow sweater about communism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE2M7g_IWSE
Yep, if Mao didn't run Maoism, why Maoism would be different than Maoism!
Well, Mao did believe that "sexual deviants" should be castrated. So it kind of makes sense...kinda.
For some reason though, he didn't castrate himself after committing numerous acts of statutory rape:
http://factsanddetails.com/chi.....tem71.html
Why couldn't one of these girls have slit his throat while he was sleeping?
They were pretty carefully searched for weapons.
Mao (like Stalin, Hitler and Il Duce), knew full well there were many people who would prefer him dead.
I wouldn't know, but aren't there special sexual-strangulation techniques that trained courtesans would know?
Except they weren't trained courtesans, they were peasant girls picked up and forced to have sex with him...
Book review:
"Trains", Tom Zoellener
http://www.amazon.com/Train-Created-World
A four-continent apologia for the use of (passenger) railroads to 'create jobs' by stealing money from the population.
The guy mentions Keynes with some seemingly minimal knowledge of his works, obviously never heard of Bastiat. Rand gets an off-hand, nasty, comment.
Worth the short time it takes to read, since I'm sure it will be cited.
They're also good places for 13 year old girls to be raped and murdered.
It's not a bad read. I've ridden trains and enjoyed it, and he makes the ennui of a summer shower and the soporific effects of the rails real. Along with the forgettable food.
He just fails to see the cost to others who do not share his finely-tuned appreciations
Perhaps. I hate rail travel, so my bias would be the other way.
You prolly rode in some of the places he writes about; not good.
Sometimes derp comes in the form of song:

That Rachel Maddow video...I hate you more than I've ever hated anyone.
So I just got back from the gym.
Since Jimmy Carter this afternoon, has anyone else blamed the Charlie Hebdo shooting on the Jews? I feel like there have to have been five or six people getting their Jew hate on while I was gone.
I think the Jews make great sandwiches.
Pastrami and tongue on rye with deli mustard and a Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda is a sublime pleasure.
First time I had tongue, I ate it before I knew what it was.
Good thing, since I love it.
Throw some of this shit into space... we be findin' some new life... Jewich sandwaifs can uproot some crazy galactic shit... Nasa be making some fucking trillion dollar shit... bros and 4 sistahs send a godamn Jewish sandwich into space... YOU will NOT need all the extraterrastrail crap... THEY will come to our Jewish sammich.
oh.
you're a hair off from my own personal conception of nirvana, which is straight pastrami on rye, cole slaw, Dr Browns *Black Cherry* (x4), and potato pancakes w/ sour cream and apple sauce.
Cel-Ray is in the family, but a strange cousin. The orthodox choice is (IMHO) black cherry or cream soda. i don't know when i learned this, but it seemed natural that this should be the case.
You're definitely correct that black cherry or cream soda are the more natural choices...but there's something about the taste of Cel-ray, that just works with rye bread. I can't describe it well, but the sweetness of the bread as it melts in your melt combines with the sweetness, plus the "clean" celery basenote, of the soda. I don't know...it just works.
Sure, but how is that a Zionist plot to sterilize Arab women so as to allow the Judaic hordes to sweep across Muslim territory?
KEMIKULZ!
Jimmy Carter.
If it ain't the Jews, it's that damn attack rabbit!

*If you want to keep your sanity, I strongly advise against going there.
Relating to race is a trip, man.
We have these fucking people on this planet all across the areas who often seem different. Culture and tradition makes us fucking and seemingly opposing not your fucking skin color.
Humans juxtapose hatred and fear on the visual. What we see is what we might and should fucking fear.
But in the broad, people should exist to feed their progeny and coexist without harming others. Why is humanity so broken it needs to foster its own headship? Why is humanity so mislead over its deities and fucking subordination addiction that the planet MUST be populated with dictatorial strongholds of varying stripes.
Humans have failed to tame their survival driven past. Humanity must awaken or ultimately become as a vapor.
How many of us have transpired and then ended over the trillions of years that parallel and multitude universes have existed and will exist.
The dust of US is a mirror into the past and future of never seen universes.
Gentlemen, the time of the Cyborg is upon us.
This fine gentleman needs a Jewish work of art called the multi-levered Sammich named after him.
The Irish Blade on triple rye toasted with 4 meats and 6 cheeses roped into the corral of the finest Michigan gorumet mustard and sweet Amish tomatoes hand-picked by the hottest Amish blonde babes who truly never shave jack shit until they become English. Best and sweetest tomatoes ever but these hot Amish chicks don't fucking shave nuttin... just sayin... vaginas are tight tho... oh boy... lord just fuckin threw some lightin at me...
Hunter Thompson is like, "wow, I wish I could write like this guy!"
"Humans have failed to tame their survival driven past."
Not all by any means.
We need to accept that evolution means we'll ALWAYS be biased toward our own interests, and then damp that with the rule of law to capture the ambition and limit the damage.
The rule of law is driven by those invested in survival... broSevo.
Very good point; we hire cops because of comparative advantage.
I'd rather pay some quasi-thug and run a company rather than spend my time defending myself.
Well genetically we're practically identical to chimps so what do we expect.

I don't know if this Parisian Muslim is just trying to put something over on the reporter, but his comments are being widely broadcast, so I thought I'd share them:
"Another young man of French-Algerian descent interviewed outside a gas station in the Saint-Denis suburb reacted angrily to a reporter's presence and demanded to know her religion. "The worst thing is to be atheist," he said.
"The man, who gave his named as "Mohamed," also said he was a devout Muslim but then changed his demeanor and added, grinning, that he was also "a delinquent." Then he said he was a drug dealer and without prompting, invited the reporter into the (also very clean) gas station to show an array of hashish for sale in broad daylight on a shelf next to the ATM.
"He also called the Paris terrorist attacks "un complot," or conspiracy, and launched into a lengthy explanation of the "magical Jews" behind it. They were not ordinary Jews, he said, but a "hybrid race of shape shifters" who have extraordinary abilities. "They know how to get in everywhere," he said. "They are master manipulators.""
http://www.thedailybeast.com/a.....burbs.html
Nope, blaming Jews for everything is standard fare. Numerous people on Arab TV claim ISIS is a Jewish plot:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3_XtwgQjnI
Shape-shifting Jews sounds like something that Marvel Comics might have come up in the old days when they still had ideas other than "farm out our IP to Hollywood."
Again, Daniel Pipes has always been right on the money about this.
It has been shocking and dismaying to make the acquaintance of so many Arabs, who are extremely intelligent and well-educated, yet, at the same time, believe in the most outlandish conspiracy theories that would make Alex Jones chuckle in amusement. It's as if they made a functional culture out of paranoid schizophrenia. While Jews are a common theme, I've heard the most bizarre shit about UFOs, the Egyptian pyramids, the conspiracy to cover up the former existence of giants, psionics, etc. Case in point, a conspiracy about the Freemasons, the Rotary Club, and the Lions Club as Zionist allies in a quest to take over the world was included in Art. 22 of the Hamas Charter of 1988.
That's right, Hamas justifies its existence by claiming to fight the Illuminati, which has taken the form of some smelly bingo hall that also has a monthly meat raffle.
Holy shit, this is worth being quoted:
"For a long time, the enemies have been planning, skillfully and with precision, for the achievement of what they have attained. They took into consideration the causes affecting the current of events. They strived to amass great and substantive material wealth which they devoted to the realisation of their dream. With their money, they took control of the world media, news agencies, the press, publishing houses, broadcasting stations, and others. With their money they stirred revolutions in various parts of the world with the purpose of achieving their interests and reaping the fruit therein. They were behind the French Revolution, the Communist revolution and most of the revolutions we heard and hear about, here and there. With their money they formed secret societies, such as Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, the Lions and others in different parts of the world for the purpose of sabotaging societies and achieving Zionist interests. With their money they were able to control imperialistic countries and instigate them to colonize many countries in order to enable them to exploit their resources and spread corruption there."
Wait a minute...
Agile Cyborg, you used to be on Hamas' Platform Committee, didn't you?
In art. 17, Hamas warns against those Zionists leading good Muslim women astray with their Negro jazz music, refeer, and Rotary clubs:
I knew there was a reason I was suspicious of the Rotarians.
I have argued before that it is hard to believe that such powerful organizations would meet in such dumpy buildings:
http://platedlizard.blogspot.c.....their.html
That is one of the funniest things I've ever read. I'm so glad you have such a bizarre breadth of knowledge, HM.
You know what's funny? Imagine being a State Dept. diplomat who has to deal with these guys and keep a straight face.
I'd guess that many actually agree with them. Maybe not the specific, but the general gist
"It has been shocking and dismaying to make the acquaintance of so many Arabs, who are extremely intelligent and well-educated, yet, at the same time, believe in the most outlandish conspiracy theories that would make Alex Jones chuckle in amusement. It's as if they made a functional culture out of paranoid schizophrenia."
I'm gonna draw a comparison to educated US lefties and, oh, the Koch Bros (tm), or Citizens United.

That story is so amazing that I knew other people would appreciate it.
Even the animal kingdom is part of a Zionist conspiracy:

"The Zionists turned me into a newt!"
There's no crazy like Naomi Wolf crazy.
Apparently, the Charlie Hebdo shooters were trained by NATO because Rupert Murdoch owns holdings in an oil company that wants to drill illegally in the Golan Heights.
I did not know that highly-trained marksmen (whatever that means) only came from the government.
I thought my buddy Bob who could pick off a gopher with his scope-sighted .222 was pretty 'highly trained' and he didn't come from the government.
So...can your buddy "Bob" (if that is in fact his real name) account for his movements at the time of the attacks?
If not, that's really suspicious.
If yes, then isn't it a remarkable coincidence that he has a pat explanation for his movements at the time of the incident...almost as if he were manufacturing an alibi!
From time to time, I find something so appalling, I have to preface it with this clip:
