The Lena Dunham ad that filled countless fainting couches
Apparently, the ad below has caused Republicans to triple their usual order for fainting couches. Kelly Fenton, deputy chair of the Minnesota Republican Party, tweeted yesterday that Satan must now be serving as Obama’s campaign adviser. The always reliable Erick Erickson of RedState.com preached that it’s evidence “we live in a fallen world destined for hellfire.”
That noted defender of American womanhood and feminine virtue, Rush Limbaugh, even denounced the ad as “an insult to women everywhere.” There is no truth to the rumor that he and his pals then boarded a plane bound for the Dominican Republic, copious supplies of Viagra in their baggage. Or maybe there is, I wouldn’t want to speculate.
Anyway, here’s the ad:
The ad won’t appear on mainstream TV, and probably not on TV anywhere at all. It is designed to be shared, on Facebook and elsewhere, by those for whom it is a target audience and who, given the comments of leading Republicans such as Richard Mourdock of Indiana and Todd Akin of Missouri, might have a lot at stake in this election. It was posted on Youtube yesterday, and already has more than a million views.
As for those outraged by the decline of today’s young people well, we’ve been down this road many many times before, now haven’t we?

“It’s shocking, Maude, I do declare this country is destined for ….”
“Hush Edgar!! Hush! Get away from the TV, you old man, I think he’s gonna do it again!!

Fred, according to Jay, insults aren’t allowed. Of course, we know those rules are applied arbitrarily….
++++++++++++++++
Really? Where is the insult? Or do you mean the insult to our collective intelligence that you made with that insipid statement? Don’t worry, you do that all the time and since we have come to expect it from you and as such we are no longer insulted…….

Well, here’s a little corny humor to end the night and then it’s off to bed:
Two guys are sitting around talking about politics.
One of them asks the other, “So why are you a Democrat?”
“Because my daddy and granddaddy were Democrats,” was the man’s reply.
“What if your daddy and granddaddy were horse thieves?”
“In that case, I guess I’d be a Republican.”

And this is my favorite:
Some guy told me, “I’m a Republican but I vote my conscience.”
So I asked him, “How can you do both?”

Not sure what your idea of average airspeed for a transport type aircraft is, but even if your number of 350mi is correct, the aircraft must travel at an AVERAGE of Mach’s number (20K MSL/just over 700 MPH) to arrive in your fictitious 30 minute timeline. You might also want to consider the time to ascend and descend, take-off and landing velocities, winds, ambient air temps, airspace clearance requirements, etc.

“Mach.085/567 mph.”
At 40K MSL – takes about 20 minutes to climb to that altitude.

“Unless Obama was running the airline, in which case you would never get to your destination”
Funny.
If Romney were running the airline, the flight attendants would be speaking Chinese, the planes mortgaged to the hilt and the cash diverted to dividends to be paid to Bain investors. Taxed at 15%.

Who is providing ground transportation from the airfield?
Hertz?
Avis?
Budget?
Enterprise?

The Washington Post reported on Nov. 1, 1980, on Reagan’s outreach to blue-collar voters:
What Reagan was trying to do in Illinois, Michigan and Ohio was to harvest usually Democratic blue-collar votes — the consistent target of his personal campaigning in the Great Lakes states. Whenever he is near voters who might possibly be Democrats, Reagan likes to remind them that he came from that side of the political tracks.
On Thursday night, at a working class bar in Bayonne, N.J., Reagan said, “I know what it’s like to pull the Republican lever for the first time, because I used to be a Democrat myself, and I can tell you it only hurts for a minute and then it feels just great.”

I think some of them have amazing imaginations, at least. Kyle Wingfield’s take on this adreveals that he seems to have some idea of what an “intellectually honest feminist” might think of this video, but is apparently too shy to ask.
(Or maybe he doesn’t know of any? He’s just heard of them?)
