Open Thread – Krazy Kamper
What can you say? Somehow, if the current trajectory holds true, I can see Todd and Sarah driving this in about 30 years, going 40 mph down the Seward Highway.

What can you say? Somehow, if the current trajectory holds true, I can see Todd and Sarah driving this in about 30 years, going 40 mph down the Seward Highway.
You can see Todd and Quitty driving this in forty years???!!! They’re driving it NOW. The owner of this “vehicle” must have quoted QuittyPants..or Bachmann….or Perry. All of them come from the same gene pool. Or Klan gathering.
On another note, I wonder how that Undy Feety thing is workin’ out for her?
Therefore too also again.
reminds me of that pick-up truck in DC with the giant sign on it on the way to the rally. What is it with people?
According to the Madison(Wisc) Capitol Times paper,a state mailroom wotker was fired after sending an e-mail to friends to let them know that the new state voter i.d. was free,but,had to be asked for. Otherwise the state was charging 28 dollars for each free voter i.d. Sounds like rethuglican business as usual in Wisconsin. In other news,the Whisky Supreme Court divided down party lines in favor of rethug Prosser,not having attacked the chief Justice. My best guess would be anytime a male touches a female without her permission,it is considered assault of some form. Rethugs didn’t want the Dem in charge of security to investigate.
i know i have the right to bare arms, but it’s more neighborly of me to keep them covered. i’m getting old a way too fat.

Republican outlook
The Republicans have again demonstrated that they don’t give a rat’s @ss about anything except defeating President Obama. They are clearly willing to kick millions of their own constituents when they’re down just to make the President look bad
The Republicans in the Senate filibustered the bill that approves disaster aid for the people who were affected by Hurricane Irene. With the support of eight Republicans, they managed to bring it to the floor for debate on the second try with a supermajority of 61 votes.
Here are the Republicans who voted to start debate:
Sens. Roy Blunt (Mo.), Scott Brown (Mass.), Susan Collins (Maine), Dean Heller (Nev.), Hoeven (N.D.), Olympia Snowe (Maine), Pat Toomey (Pa.) and David Vitter (La.)
All of the rest, including Alaska’s own Lisa Murkowski, voted against even discussing the possibility of helping people who have lost everything to the storm.
‘Oh gee, SOO sorry about losing everything you own and watching your neighbor drown in the rushing flood waters, but we’ve got us an important election to win next year and can’t be sidetracked by the complete and utter destruction of your life, your family and your community. Maybe you can get some help from the church down the road. Oh, that washed away, too? Oh well, too bad, so sad for you then.’
Truly despicable.
If I had one little sign on my Van-supporting obama, It would probably get torched. how do these people get away with all this crap?
On a sad note, I was permanently barred from a second hand store in the metropolis of Hartley,Iowa. My offense? They had a sign in their window advertising Iowa Wines and so I meekly asked the owner if the sign was a typo? Apparently Iowans Whine wasn’t the message she wished to covey since she conveyed that message to me and my trusty walker after we landed in different locales. The town constable offered me a free night in the pokey for disturbing his nap and so I left Hartley a wiser and sorer person.
This person is a zombie, an idea that no matter how debunked by facts and evidence will never die. The POTUS wants to take our guns away; then why did he sign a bill that allows us to carry in national parks, he did that in the first 4 months of his term. People who sign their vehicles like this will never be convinced of anything that they don’t already agree with. We’d waste our time to try.
I’d like to laugh at this, but it’s really sad, even the bare arms which really is funny. Another example of the huge need for education. Been talking with a very conservative person I know about how to fix the problems in this country. My first recommendation was MORE EDUCATION and she agreed. She also agreed that a L O N G range plan is mandatory – wow, there’s hope yet.
Gotta keep hoping and working, so I’ll just blow off the above zombie.
When Clinton was running, the first time, one of my friends told me with complete sincerety and a bit of fear, “If Clinton is elected they’re going to come and take all your guns away.”
Well, Clinton was elected. Twice. Nobody came and took your guns away.
Now the same idiots are buying the same line about Obama. And do you know who is telling them this? The gun manufacturers. It’s great business for them — get the idiots to buy more guns to hide in more places so when the gummit takes away some of your guns you still have a bunch left.
Proof that idiots are idiots are idiots.
“Obama wants all American completely disarmed”
Naturally, I saw that and thought of the secondary meaning:
2.
a. To overcome or allay the suspicion, hostility, or antagonism of.
b. To win the confidence of.
I realize that is not what the owner of the camper had in mind!
The official US invasion of Libya is well under way. According to the Pentagon,a detachment of 4(four) US military personnel have set foot in Libya to help secure the US embassy.What could our Potus be thinking. Rethuglicans will light up the sky like a fourth of July fireworks display,telling the whole world how wrong it is for an American Potus to invade a sovereign nation that had not previously attacked us. This will be another distraction to hide the facts that rethugs are holding disaster victims hostage once again.
GREAT Time in Juneau… but only because we had the World’s BEST TOUR GUIDES , Firecracker, Alaska Pi and Bear Woman !! Mein Gott ! just a truly fantastic experience !! beautiful sights with history and special insights.. .. not enough time on ship’s account to describe it all…. but I may have caused mass blindness to a number of tourists at the glacier… the water flowing down the mountain side was just too inviting, hot afternoon… so…. 🙂 I sort of cooled off in it…. 🙂 and yes my clothes stayed dry… hehehehe !! “but it was JUST my shirts, Ranger Hal ! “
Was great to meet you and the DW at dinner too. Sorry we couldn’t participate in tour guiding.
the evening dinner and discussion was icing on the cake for me.. .. they have a Sarah Palin stand-up board at one of the stores in Skagway. … didn’t hear one kind thing from any one as they passed by it…. definitely a joke item for most of the tourists !
Also, too, even, and as well…
Thanks AKM!!!
Thanks for the ‘flats and all the folks we’ve all met virtually and for real here 🙂
In minds-eye..I see that owner..running up a ramp.. to the top of ..said vehicle..removing the top ‘latrine cover’..using it, replacing the latrine cover..then..returning down the ramp. The term.’.Full Of’..comes to mind.
Yep! And have we any doubt the owner has more than enough to fill it?
I wish that vehicle would run over it’s occupants.
Our future just brightened immenselyand we should all sleep better at night. I just read that a former ex,half-guv of America’s largest state will deliver at least one speech at the “World Knowledge Forum” in Seoul,South Korea on October 11-13. According to one of the events organizers,Quitty will give a U.S. leadership perspective on how to lead the world out of the latest crisis. I am not making this up. Imagine the repercussions if the annointed grifter breaks a heel walking up to the podium. I fear that our Korean allies will be getting an earful of guttural gutter language. I hope the twit gets introduced as Michele Bachmann.
Sadly, she’ll hire a good speech writer (because she can recite a well crafted speech) and not submit to a Q and A so it will be reported that she was more impressive than many had imagined. She will prove her ‘fraud’ credentials but will her audience recognize that they were impressed by an empty suit?
Did she deflate her unmentionables?
Whew, Baker’s Dozen! For a moment I thought my eyes were deceiving me. QuittyPants looked waa-aay too big in the bosom from previous photos.
Just for you, here’s a little humor:
Question: What did one boob say to the other boob?
Answer: Good thing we’re in a bra or people will think we’re a couple of nuts.
Therefore too again also.
‘…deliver …speech at the “World KNOWLEDGE (??) Forum” in Seoul,South Korea on October 11- ….. Quitty will give a U.S. LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE (??) on how to lead the world out of the latest crisis.’
Mike from Iowa, thank you, thank you for my first belly laugh of the day (probably my only one)! I know you said you didn’t make this up, but you might as well have, it’s so bizarre at this point in time. More bizarre than when she was asked to speak in Asia previously! I guess some people don’t know what to do with their money.
Yeah them poor wealthy saps should donate small seven figure checks to my favorite charity-ME. I’m not sure what the E stands for. It could be Exceptionalism or Exclusively.Hmmnn-Mikey’s Exceptionalism-beat Snooki to the punch on that exceptionalism business. I guess that makes me-Mikey- the winner.
vyccan, here is QuittyPants’ scree’…er speech on how to lead the world out of the latest crisis:
QuittyPants: (Blink)….Wave…..Raises hand and reads, ” Do like me. When Alaskans from Emmonak, Eagle and Marshall were in crisis, I quit.
Therefore too again also.
It’s hard to imagine that they invited her. They hated W. We were visiting in Korea during 20066, and everyone there asked us, in a hopeful voice, if we were from Canada. When we said we were Americans, they looked a little disappointed and many asked if we liked W. They were relieved when we said no, and even more relieved when we said we were from CA. It seems even in Korea, CA isn’t part of Rill Umerika. Texas keeps saying it wants to secede–in so many words. CA seems to have mentally done so as far as the rest of the world is concerned. With all the $$ that goes from CA to the red states to support their right to lower taxes, cut public education and public servant wages, and live a non-socialist life on my dime, I think CA might truly be better off as its own nation.
I am curious about the reference to “bare arms” and the reference that “Obama wants America completely disarmed”… You don’t think the vehicle occupant means that Obama wants to take everyone’s actual arms (and elbows, wrists and fingers, too) do you?
yes. yes i do.
my response, precisely – high five to bubbles! 🙂
No. He wants to make us all wear long sleeves!
I believe that the “bare arms” is in reference to Michelle Obama. Imagine what the right to bare arms would look like if we all had arms like hers! I’m thinkin’ “America the Beautiful”. Unfortunately for me, if I went around in bare arms, my flapping uppers would create Force 5 Gales.
I think he just can’t spell. One could assume he is talking about Michelle Obama but I don’t think he is. 😉
LibertyLover, you did make me laugh. I saw this image of people walking about with no elbows and wrists but still having fingers.
I know, it’s really silly but it just tickled me. 😀
morning pups. that truck is ‘da bomb’. i wish the person who drives it would take a moment to reflect on his place in the universe. i also wish the person would drive it over by me and park it right across the street. heh heh.
http://i.imgur.com/1stDJ.jpg
Not sure he has a place in this universe… or is of this universe. “UFOs only accept a Nation (and World)”. Scratching my head over that one… 😉
Just as long as you don’t dislodge “MY CROWN” in the process of that scratching, CO almost native… [Where the heck did that come from?]
And I’m wondering how much difference there is, really, between the regular “The Frankfort Communist Organization” and “The Frankfort Violent Communist Organization” — you know, the one Obama has a membership in. What a trip that camper is! beth.
I’m thinking he might be better off trying a tinfoil hat than a crown…much more effective against the aliens!
“…Todd and Sarah driving this in about 30 years, going 40 mph down the Seward Highway” with the right turn blinker stuck on…
Fixed it. 😉
TCW – in thirty years this will be all they have left, AFTER that prison term. 🙂
(too early to do better than this)
So, Do you think this guy/gal/vehicle occupant votes Republican of Secessionist?
Both. Early and often. That’s how Sarah wins all the polls and elections; Joe MilLiar also, too.
Classy!!
“…I can see Todd and Sarah driving this in about 30 years…”
but… but… but…
I can see orange jumpsuits and/or straight jackets.
Who can drive like that?
🙂
Here’s my morning link from DH Happy. Paul really struggled to sing this on Sunday, but here’s a version with all the emotion and some beautiful guitar.
“And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls”
And whispered in the sounds of silence.”
Paul Simon – The Sound Of Silence
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEUMqxKZZhQ
L’Shalom,
thatcrowwoman
I cried through Paul’s singing this on Sunday. Mostly because my dearly departed Dad loved that song.
My sophomore English Lit. teacher had us younguns listening to this in school. Don’t remember the actual context,but It wasn’t my favorite music back then. I’m pretty sure I rebelled at the idea of listening to music when I could have been penning terribly trite fiction,as my teacher called my attempts to entertain. S and G are better appreciated with age and I really prefer the G’s solo work and acting. Simon gets a pass for Me and Julio Down by the Schoolioyard.
I just hope that the words of the prophets AREN’T written on camper panels.
The guy who designed the Beatles “White Album” cover passed away. His name was Richard Hamilton. Do you have any insight into this gentleman? Of course you do.but your font of knowledge never ceases to amaze Mikey.
Well, of course we were deeply involved in the album production, but I don’t recall that particular name. My late husband, the Duke, was an old chum of George Marin’s, and George hired him to operate one of the eight-track recorders, which was quite new and hi-tech in England at the time. (The Duke had already learned how to run it from Brian Wilson in California.) There were endless discussions of the cover concept around the fireplace at the old hunting lodge in Northumberland. I remember a married couple, Peter and Jan, who had something to dowith the lineup. Jan wanted more women represented. John (a nasty misogynist, by the way) wanted Hitler and Jesus. The Dowager Duchess, Halcyon, who was always very fond of Ringo, of course, backed up Jan, and volunteered herself for the assemblage, dressed in her aviatrix gear. That didn’t go, but she did have a small role in the line-up, donating her Shirley Temple doll, which appears on the final cover, dressed in a “Welcome the Rolling Stones” jumper. But there were so many people involved, and so much single-blend Scotch being consumed, that I have no memory of the others involved in the production. But you can still hear the Duke’s hand in the mixing of the draw-down effects. He was troubled, was my late husband, but he had moments of genius.
I wonder if “Wild Bill” upgraded his wheels? He used to drive a truck pulling a trailer for his extra signs. Then again, the valley is full of these nut balls.
The ironic thing it that sure looks like a Toyota Hilux motorhome. What self respecting redneck would drive a vehicle made in Japan?
Wild Bill died a while back. Must be a relative.
Yup, there’s two or three in the Valley but a whole lot more of ’em out by Kenny Lake near the Richardson Highway. Probably not the only stronghold – Schaeffer Cox’s people were from around Fairbanks.
LOL…truly funny if he’s drivin’ a “furin” model. Looks like he could be any number of the whackadoodles that live in the central Oregon, red, red, red town I live in.
Lemme guess. Prineville.
wild bill died years ago.
“the right to bare arms against the gov”… Always been partial to long sleeves myself, since so many gov offices are too damn cold for my taste
I wonder if bearing a set of “bare arms against the Government” brings one closer to God?
My problem with this guy is his lack of historical perspective,the rethuglican way. He said the gov wants to destroy America to save it. Apparently he has forgotten how well that theory worked in Vietnam,Iraq,Afghanistan Central America and Panama,just to name a few rw science/social engineering lab experiments that turned out real good.
Maybe that’s why San Francisco and Berkeley are such peaceable places. Too foggy for short sleeves. (Although as noted in Rebecca Solnit’s book Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas,* the Bay Area is full of right-wing institutions, from internet monitoring and military robotics to Condi Rice and John Yoo’s offices).
*my partner Shiz and I drew most of the maps. UC Press, 2010.
I support the right to arm bears!
Most excellent 🙂
That’s a sweet set o’ wheels right there.
Pardon me for attaching this to a post high up in the comments, but I didn’t want it to get lost.
Today I got a picture with my cell phone while I was stopped at a traffic light in Wasilla – it is a camper with the “1” Governor license plate on it – and a sticker on the back that says “Keep honking, buddy – I’m reloading!”
How can I post it here? It’s not very good quality – you can make out the plate but the sticker is a little hard to read.
The pickup had a different plate on it – not the Gov plate – is that legal?
